- 0:15Speaker 1: thumbs down on allowing Air and Rogers to govern, meaning
- 0:21Speaker 1: total control of the Steelers offense in twenty twenty five,
- 0:25Speaker 1: and the Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson admitting he still has
- 0:29Speaker 1: one minor flaw in his game just being a leader.
- 0:33Speaker 1: He said, how do you process this? We'll get to
- 0:36Speaker 1: all of that and more right now here it is,
- 0:39Speaker 1: have a wonderful hump day. It's our number four. Watch
- 0:45Speaker 1: you're gonna do, not what you're gonna do. Watch you're
- 0:47Speaker 1: gonna do. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
- 0:53Speaker 1: The Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere,
- 0:59Speaker 1: score away as we are audio gladiators coast to coast, border,
- 1:05Speaker 1: the border, and beyond on the vast and staggeringly powerful
- 1:10Speaker 1: microphones of fsre emmnading live from the myer the quagmire
- 1:19Speaker 1: of sporting chatter here giggity the Fox Sports Radio studios
- 1:25Speaker 1: as approved by Nick in Nebraska. In this portion of
- 1:30Speaker 1: The Ben Malor Show on Fox made possible in part
- 1:33Speaker 1: by our friends at tire Iraq. For over forty years,
- 1:36Speaker 1: tyre Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
- 1:39Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
- 1:43Speaker 1: free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
- 1:48Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot Com The
- 1:53Speaker 1: Way Tire Buying showbat so our lead this hour from
- 2:00Speaker 1: Western Pennsylvania, the life and times of disgruntled disgruntled defensive
- 2:07Speaker 1: star TJ. Watt. He's not happy now. If you have
- 2:12Speaker 1: not been following along here and maybe not, perhaps you're
- 2:17Speaker 1: not worried about football until training camp opens up, which
- 2:20Speaker 1: I believe is in eleven days. I believe the first
- 2:23Speaker 1: team something like that. I think it's eleven days the
- 2:25Speaker 1: first Chargers eleven or twelve days the first team will
- 2:28Speaker 1: report the training camp. So we are told that multiple
- 2:31Speaker 1: teams lining their ducks up in a row, discussing whether
- 2:37Speaker 1: or not they can acquire the Yinsers pass rush specialist TJ. Watt,
- 2:44Speaker 1: who you might remember said it's nay on the offseason
- 2:48Speaker 1: Mini camp A and was a no show. He went
- 2:53Speaker 1: a wall to offseason workouts and so Watt's unhappy. He
- 2:58Speaker 1: wants money, money, money, money, And the Steelers are saying, well,
- 3:02Speaker 1: we've already paid you money, money, money. He wants more money, money, money,
- 3:06Speaker 1: So there you go. Now, the Steelers have been active
- 3:09Speaker 1: this week. We've talked about it a little bit. In
- 3:11Speaker 1: the overnight they made the trade that acquired Jalen Ramsey
- 3:15Speaker 1: and John news Smith from the Dolphins for micka Fitzpatrick.
- 3:18Speaker 1: So if you make that deal, would you make another trade?
- 3:21Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question what are the chances, right,
- 3:25Speaker 1: what are the chances that the Steelers trade TJ. Watt
- 3:29Speaker 1: between now and the start of the regular season, which
- 3:35Speaker 1: is in early September. So I've got on this one
- 3:38Speaker 1: donkey deed to the property and minecraft, and we will
- 3:44Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are gonna
- 3:47Speaker 1: make the Gabba ghoul. We're gonna make the Gobba goool,
- 3:51Speaker 1: all right. So to lead off here, Malor Sportsbook odds,
- 3:57Speaker 1: the Malor of sportsbook odds on this. I'm gonna set
- 3:59Speaker 1: the odds plus five point fifty that TJ. Watt is traded.
- 4:05Speaker 1: So that means, based on those odds, that there is
- 4:08Speaker 1: a fifteen percent chance in baseball, a one fifty batting
- 4:11Speaker 1: average that's it, right, and it's just enough a one
- 4:16Speaker 1: fifty batting average where it raises your eyebrows but not
- 4:22Speaker 1: your blood pressure. Well, as long as you have a
- 4:24Speaker 1: bat in your hands, you could get a hit. That's
- 4:26Speaker 1: what those baseball people will say. If you have a
- 4:28Speaker 1: bat in your hands or danger, Well, if you're hitting
- 4:30Speaker 1: one to fifty, it's not likely, just like the trade
- 4:33Speaker 1: is not likely. And here's why the Steelers don't play
- 4:37Speaker 1: that way. That's not how they're operating. They've never operated
- 4:40Speaker 1: that way the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are conservative, they're buttoned up.
- 4:44Speaker 1: It's the franchise charter to be borring. And that's why
- 4:48Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers moves a rather shocking because it's out
- 4:51Speaker 1: of character for the Steelers. But if you talk about
- 4:55Speaker 1: the legacy, it's all about the legacy when you play
- 4:57Speaker 1: for the Steelers and the you know, the identity of
- 4:59Speaker 1: the franch eyes is that you don't do these crazy things.
- 5:02Speaker 1: You don't get rid of top player and what he is,
- 5:05Speaker 1: the face of that defense, TJ. Watt and trading your
- 5:10Speaker 1: future Hall of Famer, your pass rusher who's granted near
- 5:16Speaker 1: the end of his prime, but he's still in his
- 5:18Speaker 1: NFL Prime, and this is supposed to be a win
- 5:22Speaker 1: now year, is it not. You're you're adding Aaron Rodgers.
- 5:26Speaker 1: You're not playing the long game, You're playing the short game.
- 5:30Speaker 1: So it's it's backwards donkey logic is what it is.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Right.
- 5:35Speaker 1: It's just noise, and it's just enough to be worthy
- 5:38Speaker 1: of a Mallard monologue rant, which we're doing right now,
- 5:41Speaker 1: but not enough to make it actually happen unless Watt
- 5:46Speaker 1: says that's it, I'm not playing. I want to trade.
- 5:49Speaker 1: He has not said he wants a trade. You know,
- 5:53Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be back and he'll be humming bars
- 5:56Speaker 1: from Whiz Khalif is black and yellow, black and yellow,
- 5:59Speaker 1: black and yellow from you ago. He'll be doing that now. Furthermore,
- 6:02Speaker 1: staying in the burg, staying in the berg now, former
- 6:06Speaker 1: coaches department, Former coaches department. So Billkuer appeared on Fox
- 6:12Speaker 1: Sports Radio recently with Dan Patrick and just yesterday in fact,
- 6:19Speaker 1: so Dan Patrick had Bill cowheron, who's still boring people
- 6:23Speaker 1: over at CBS. So Cower was asked about these Steelers
- 6:28Speaker 1: giving freedom to airon Rogers to control the offense in
- 6:34Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. There's a theory going around that Aaron
- 6:39Speaker 1: Rodgers will have total control over, for better or worse,
- 6:45Speaker 1: the offensive philosophy. He'll be involved in the play calling,
- 6:51Speaker 1: the game planning, like all of it. He'll be a
- 6:53Speaker 1: de facto assistant to the offensive coordinator. So if you
- 6:59Speaker 1: didn't hear what COWERR said, he said, quote there is
- 7:02Speaker 1: a degree of urgency in that building, no question about it.
- 7:07Speaker 1: And he would give Aaron Rodgers total autonomy in Pittsburgh.
- 7:12Speaker 1: That's the quote, total autonomy in Pittsburgh. He was asked
- 7:16Speaker 1: by Dan Patrick about that. That's what he said, So
- 7:19Speaker 1: true or false? True or false on allowing Aaron Rogers
- 7:24Speaker 1: to be the governor, if you will to be the
- 7:27Speaker 1: government of the offense there in Pittsburgh in twenty twenty five,
- 7:31Speaker 1: that's the question. So if you're here's my three. If
- 7:34Speaker 1: you're bringing Aaron Rodgers in, which is plausibly what the
- 7:38Speaker 1: Steelers of the said to do, if you're bringing him
- 7:41Speaker 1: to town, you might as well just have him get
- 7:48Speaker 1: a blank piece of paper and get a pen and
- 7:52Speaker 1: draw some plays up, do some ex's and o's, write
- 7:54Speaker 1: the playbook, give him a headset if he wants that,
- 7:57Speaker 1: and give him a deed to the property to say,
- 8:00Speaker 1: here you go, Aaron, here's the deed to the property, right,
- 8:04Speaker 1: because if you don't, if you don't, what exactly are
- 8:08Speaker 1: you doing? Serious? Now? Bill Kauer, who I'm not a
- 8:12Speaker 1: big coward guy. I think he's terrible on television. But
- 8:14Speaker 1: Bill Kuer said it plainly. There is a degree of
- 8:18Speaker 1: urgency in that building, which is true. The Steelers they
- 8:22Speaker 1: never change coaches, right, you have to leave. You have
- 8:25Speaker 1: that job till you die, or you retire, or you quit.
- 8:28Speaker 1: But you're not gonna get fired my life. I'm getting older.
- 8:32Speaker 1: They've had in my life three coaches the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Three in my life, and I've been around a while.
- 8:41Speaker 1: It's wild, right, And to think the Steelers have not
- 8:45Speaker 1: won a playoff game since twenty sixteen, the last time
- 8:50Speaker 1: they want to twenty sixteen. It was barely alive in
- 8:54Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, so were you. And they've spent more time
- 8:57Speaker 1: in recent years talking about Kenny Pickett and his tiny hands,
- 9:03Speaker 1: tiny tiny hands and all the quirky things that Russell
- 9:06Speaker 1: Wilson does and all that, mister unlimited, all of that.
- 9:12Speaker 1: And now now that Aaron Rodgers is in town, there
- 9:17Speaker 1: is no time, no time. They say, well, we're gonna
- 9:20Speaker 1: put the training wheels on and all that stuff, and
- 9:23Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna have a control freak offensive mindset
- 9:27Speaker 1: for the coordinator. You know, it's go time. It's green
- 9:30Speaker 1: light though, and you know it and I know it.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Do you either let Aaron Rodgers control things and be
- 9:36Speaker 1: the get the full all inclusive like a nice resort
- 9:39Speaker 1: in the Bahamas and Aaron Rodgers experience. The Jets tried
- 9:43Speaker 1: it didn't work. They say, well, the Jets don't have
- 9:46Speaker 1: good players. The Steelers think they have good players. So
- 9:50Speaker 1: you give Rogers total control. You do it, and otherwise
- 9:56Speaker 1: you're just wasting your time, you are, So thumb's up. Yes,
- 10:00Speaker 1: whatever you want me to say, I'll go yes on that.
- 10:03Speaker 1: And one, I guess two thumbs, but one for every
- 10:08Speaker 1: ring that Rogers is trying to win, because he's got
- 10:11Speaker 1: one with Green Bay, he's trying to win that one
- 10:13Speaker 1: other ring that iohuasca themed, you know ring he can
- 10:18Speaker 1: have like a little picture of ayahuasca on the ring
- 10:20Speaker 1: and then he'll just fade away and do podcasts with
- 10:24Speaker 1: Joe Rogan and he can replace You know, we don't
- 10:28Speaker 1: want to replace George North, but Art Art Bell's old
- 10:31Speaker 1: show Coast to Coast, like we could have Aaron Rodgers
- 10:33Speaker 1: slide and do some weekend Coast to Coast where he
- 10:36Speaker 1: talks about UFOs and lizard people and all that chem trails,
- 10:40Speaker 1: all that good stuff. Sure now, is Rogers gonna clash
- 10:43Speaker 1: with people? Absolutely, and I'm here for it. I have
- 10:46Speaker 1: a talk show to do. I have a daily talk
- 10:47Speaker 1: show at four nights, five nights a week. I have
- 10:50Speaker 1: a podcast on the weekend. So I am absolutely there.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I am ready to go for Aaron Rodgers to clash
- 10:58Speaker 1: with his teammates, to clash with the media, to clash
- 11:02Speaker 1: with coaches. I think it's wonderful. I think it's great.
- 11:06Speaker 1: And so it's not about managing egos. Rogers is not
- 11:09Speaker 1: gonna massage egos and all that stuff. It's about scoring points.
- 11:12Speaker 1: If you wanted quiet, you would have kept justin fields quiet,
- 11:18Speaker 1: not good quiet. You know, a few highlights, that's about it.
- 11:22Speaker 1: That's what the Jets have now. So let Aaron Rodgers
- 11:25Speaker 1: run it. Let Rogers cook. Now he might cook psychedelics
- 11:30Speaker 1: and all that, but let him cook. And you know,
- 11:33Speaker 1: if it doesn't work out, he'll be no different than
- 11:36Speaker 1: any other quarterback you've had in Pittsburgh since Roethlisberger left.
- 11:40Speaker 1: And that's it. And you know, if it fails, he
- 11:43Speaker 1: fails on his terms, Aaron Rodgers, and not because you
- 11:47Speaker 1: shackled him with some dopey offensive coordinator and a group
- 11:52Speaker 1: of plays written in crayon. That's it all, right, Now,
- 11:56Speaker 1: last thing to Baltimore we go. The Ravens quarterback Lamar
- 12:02Speaker 1: Jackson recently admitted that he still has a minor flaw
- 12:07Speaker 1: in his game despite multiple MVP awards in a near
- 12:09Speaker 1: miss last season. I see this, Lamar Jackson said he
- 12:13Speaker 1: is weak spot is just being a leader. That's what
- 12:19Speaker 1: he said, just being a leader. So how do you
- 12:21Speaker 1: process this? Guys won multiple MVP awards, been regular season
- 12:26Speaker 1: wise one of the great players in this era of
- 12:30Speaker 1: the NFL. So this idea, I actually support Lamar Jackson.
- 12:36Speaker 1: I don't know what he's trying to do that he
- 12:39Speaker 1: isn't doing right now. Because the idea that you need
- 12:42Speaker 1: to be some kind of sideline preacher and delivers sermons
- 12:46Speaker 1: on the sidelines like raw ra speeches and all that stuff,
- 12:50Speaker 1: I think that's poppycock, right, I think that's nonsense. It's
- 12:54Speaker 1: vastly overrated, and a lot of the time your teammates
- 13:00Speaker 1: think of you as an actor. You're doing performance art.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I'll give an exam Russell Wilson, who's just in Pittsburgh
- 13:07Speaker 1: now with the Giants. Russ does a lot of things
- 13:11Speaker 1: because there's cameras and he knows that these things will
- 13:15Speaker 1: get picked up. And the low information fan, the neanderthal fan,
- 13:19Speaker 1: thinks that that's leadership because that's what the Hollywood movies do,
- 13:23Speaker 1: raw ra speeches and all that stuff, and it's just
- 13:26Speaker 1: it's just not reality. Think of it like in Minecraft,
- 13:31Speaker 1: the land Mithland and the Lord Sausage in Mythland right there.
- 13:37Speaker 1: You cook up over the years these ideas that quarterbacks
- 13:43Speaker 1: are supposed to give the raw ra speech and all
- 13:46Speaker 1: that stuff, but it's usually by movies and people that
- 13:51Speaker 1: never played the game and all that stuff. And maybe
- 13:54Speaker 1: you led your fantasy football team and congratulations on that,
- 13:57Speaker 1: but you wouldn't know leadership if it came out and
- 14:00Speaker 1: slapped you right across the face. To me, and maybe
- 14:05Speaker 1: I'm I'm completely wrong, but as I believe in like leadership,
- 14:08Speaker 1: it's results, it's execution, it's you know, that's how you
- 14:12Speaker 1: get to a level of R E S P E
- 14:15Speaker 1: C T H and just winning a bunch of yams.
- 14:18Speaker 1: So Lamar Jackson's done that part. The Ravens win like
- 14:23Speaker 1: twelve games seemingly every year right around there, give or
- 14:25Speaker 1: take twelve or so wins. But you just show up
- 14:29Speaker 1: week after week and your teammates follow. That's it, you
- 14:35Speaker 1: know that? To me, that's leadership. And Lamar does not
- 14:38Speaker 1: need to be ray Lewis out there who did performance
- 14:41Speaker 1: art ray Lewis, you know, giving these fire and brimstone
- 14:43Speaker 1: speeches to the Ravens and all this nonsense before every snap.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Just continue playing. Well, now the one caveat here, I
- 14:53Speaker 1: got one. I don't think Lamar Jackson at this point
- 14:55Speaker 1: is gonna morph into a modern day Winston Churchill with
- 14:59Speaker 1: a helmet and shoulder pads and all that. I don't.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I don't think that's so at this point what he
- 15:06Speaker 1: needs to do it was rather obvious. I don't think.
- 15:08Speaker 1: I don't have to say it. I'll say it because
- 15:10Speaker 1: a talk show, I'll say it. Just win some bleeping
- 15:13Speaker 1: games in late January and be the reason that you're winning.
- 15:18Speaker 1: That is that'll all of a sudden you become a leader.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's such a great leader because he
- 15:22Speaker 1: played well in the AFC Championship Game and then eventually
- 15:25Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and all that stuff, and then all
- 15:28Speaker 1: of a sudden, the legend will be all he's got
- 15:30Speaker 1: all the intangibles. That's what happens. That's it. You know,
- 15:35Speaker 1: Tom Brady. How many times did Tom Brady have a
- 15:37Speaker 1: hissy fit like a child on the sidelines. But they
- 15:42Speaker 1: were winning, so that was great leadership. Right. If they
- 15:45Speaker 1: were losing, they'd be like, what an a hole? Who
- 15:48Speaker 1: wants to work with a coworker like this? You know
- 15:50Speaker 1: he's a schmuck Tom Brady. But they won, so that
- 15:54Speaker 1: became leadership. And if Lamar wins, it say well, we
- 15:57Speaker 1: need to find a quarterback like Lamar and they'll be saying, oh,
- 16:01Speaker 1: he has everything everything you want right, talking hands will
- 16:05Speaker 1: demand that every other quarterbacks like Lamar. You don't have
- 16:09Speaker 1: to be a motivational speaker and all that stuff. The
- 16:11Speaker 1: real ones. No, And I think in life and Joe,
- 16:15Speaker 1: you don't follow empty words. You don't you follow results.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Now it is the Ben Malor Show. Now, if you
- 16:25Speaker 1: want to comment on any of that, you can join

- 18:46Speaker 1: Don from Duluth not happy. You think, just sitting out
- 18:49Speaker 1: there and looking at Lake Superior, he would be happy.
- 18:53Speaker 1: But no, Don from d Luth is upset. He says
- 18:55Speaker 1: f Aaron Rodgers that at Viking love goes deep for
- 18:59Speaker 1: Don On from du Luth. He says Aaron Rodgers, Fim,

- 19:20Speaker 1: sit there and just read random Wikipedia pages. Done. No problem, now,
- 19:27Speaker 1: it says on my phone on my call screener, it

- 20:06Speaker 4: Rogers is the QB, the O C, the GM and
- 20:10Speaker 4: the head coach. There's only one person that can range

- 20:55Speaker 4: like one hundred with money cash or cash moneys and drugs,
- 20:58Speaker 4: cash money or same thing.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Because because when you're in Ponce Dell Lyon, you figure
- 21:02Speaker 1: gonna live forever because you're in Ponstelli On, Florida.
- 21:05Speaker 4: Come on, uh, yes, that is correct, except when you
- 21:10Speaker 4: go there, it's got a subway and that's pretty much it.
- 21:13Speaker 1: And so I mean, oh yeah, I'm looking here. It
- 21:16Speaker 1: does not look it's in Holmes County, Florida. It does
- 21:20Speaker 1: not look like a very if there's five hundred people
- 21:24Speaker 1: that live there.
- 21:25Speaker 4: Wow, Now that many people want to remain useful, believe.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Or not, well, I would, I would think everyone would.

- 21:38Speaker 4: you know, are you dumb? You trying to give me
- 21:40Speaker 4: t Yes? I played possibly on.
- 21:42Speaker 1: I'm not whoa Well, let me the climate in ponstely On,
- 21:47Speaker 1: Florida's hot, humid summers, generally mild winters. So there's that.
- 21:52Speaker 4: Wedding capitol of Florida. Yet, well, I've one gay. It's
- 21:55Speaker 4: basically a bye way for the people getting to Bake
- 21:58Speaker 4: County to getting to Panama City Beach. That's where the
- 22:00Speaker 4: four lane runs through and saying and it takes to Alabama.
- 22:03Speaker 1: So that's pretty much were they were they Were they
- 22:04Speaker 1: planning on having like a poncetely On Land or something.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Is that why they named the town Ponstellon Because it's
- 22:10Speaker 1: like it's not really doing that well.

- 22:15Speaker 4: it was worked against them. I'll tell you where this
- 22:17Speaker 4: county has been. It's the one county around here. I
- 22:19Speaker 4: will not commit crimes in because the status of this jail.

- 35:44Speaker 3: On X and yes, and I just wanted to mention
- 35:47Speaker 3: since I'm in the Bay Area. I thought it was

- 35:58Speaker 3: the room, picked up the vibes and people, you know,
- 36:01Speaker 3: getting discontented. He kind of took the high road and
- 36:04Speaker 3: he extended Bob Melvine. He's a great manager. Scorpio is
- 36:07Speaker 3: a sign of transformation. So I thought that was a
- 36:10Speaker 3: good move moving forward.
