Hour 4 - Takin' the Hit
Summary
Ben Maller critiques LSU coach Lane Kiffin’s strategy of recruiting former NFL players, dismissing Kiffin’s moral defense and highlighting Texas coach Steve Sarkisian’s ethical objections. Maller mocks Sarkisian’s stance as hypocritical given Texas’s own roster moves. The show also covers the Pittsburgh Steelers’ refusal to negotiate with Joey Porter Jr. once the season starts, which Maller calls outdated stubbornness. Finally, he discusses Shohei Ohtani’s record-breaking baseball card sales and takes listener calls.
