1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: This is WDV Pittsburgh.

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: He gets the snap play action pass, rolling out now

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: stepping up in the pocket and down he goes, Oh,

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: high Smith got there.

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 3: Hartman got there as.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 4: Well as he is sacked back at the twenty five

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 4: yard line.

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: Hi Smith looking good in his return there yesterday tackle

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: a couple assists, half a sack for Alex high Smith

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: and all the outside linebackers dominating yesterday. Harbig and TJ

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: just having a game against the Browns. One of you know,

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: I didn't get out and about much when we got

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: back from Dublin's. I got sick right away and I

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: was kind of, you know, hibernating there for a week

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: or so. So this weekend I finally got out and

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: everybody I ran into he's asking me about Dublin and

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: they're like, God, it just sounds like so much fun,

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: Like you guys had a great time and everything. And

19
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: when I kept emphasizing everybody is that I didn't feel

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: so much like I had a trip to Ireland, as

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: I had this trip into a Steeler's intern National PEP

22
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: rally for four days that took place in pubs. Uh,

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't see any cliffs. I didn't see

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: any green. I didn't see any of that, and I

25
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: hope to go back, but it can't. But in coming back.

26
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: It's like your Steeler's.

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: Fandom is like, you know, in large three times, like

28
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: you're just that much more fired up about the Steelers.

29
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: And I can't imagine having coming back from that and

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: then Bill having the weekend that you had, because not

31
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: only did you host the tailgate at stage yesterday, but

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: Friday night you got to do the fashion show with

33
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: the Steelers.

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 3: So you've just been in the Steelers bubble for two weeks. Yeah.

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean one of the things that, you know,

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: the theme this year for the fashion show, and they

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 4: always do such a great job.

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: Was the Wizard of Oz. No place like Home, and

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: so I came out.

40
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 4: One of the first comments that I made was that

41
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 4: it was such a thrill and an honor to see

42
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: Dublin transformed into our home and just how we turned.

43
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: The Emervau into a giant igu ale and all.

44
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: Of a sudden it was like just this yinzer palooza,

45
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 4: like in a whole other country where I'm thinking I'm

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: way out of outside of the hooplah or just the

47
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: dome that the game is happening in and then I

48
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: look in a nail salon and there's like a woman

49
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 4: getting French tips with a big Ben bumblebee jersey.

50
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is absurd, and I love us.

51
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 4: But what I learned on that trip is just that

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 4: home is wherever the Steelers are, and the Steelers are

53
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 4: actually a home to fans across the world. And so

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 4: just basically thanking the Roonies for giving everybody something to

55
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 4: connect through, like it's it's just a connector. Like when

56
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 4: I see people flagged up in Steeler's gear, what it

57
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: shows me is that those people are my home. So

58
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know, let me go talk to them

59
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 4: because we're whatever we are.

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, here we go, like you know, tells are going.

61
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter if you're at a home game, at

62
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: an away game, or at your gate at the airport,

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: like this is our home.

64
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: And another thing about Art Rooney that I appreciate is

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: that you'll never see him flipping off fans. You'll never

66
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: see him throwing water at fans or acting like these

67
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: billionaire jackasses Jerry Jones or David Tepper and one of

68
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: the many owners who thinks that the team is about them,

69
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 2: and Art Rooney, having grown up ensconced in what the Steelers'

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: legacy and lore is and what it means, knows that

71
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: it's much bigger than just his role in that where

72
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: some owners think it's that the fans owe them a

73
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: debt of gratitude for having the generosity to bring a

74
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: team to them, whereas in Pittsburgh it's a whole lot

75
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: different Here. This is it is religion, yeah, more than

76
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: it is a I opened a store and you're welcome

77
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: to come into it.

78
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: Right.

79
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: Yes, this is like the Cowboys are like the kiss

80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: of the NFL. It's a merch shop. It's how much

81
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: money can we make on our team.

82
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: The product's not that good anymore. The product's not great.

83
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: They were lying, like do they sell cooys caskets? They should?

84
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: They probably do. They probably do.

85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: But it's just an amazing weekend here Pitts, by the way,

86
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: like Strip District was.

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: Jammed, this.

88
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: Downtown was jammed all weekend long. Browns fans, Steeler fans.

89
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: It's really it was really the Steeler fans from all

90
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: over the country that come in because there were not

91
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: a whole lot of Browns fans there yesterday and during Renegade.

92
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: As soon as Renegade started.

93
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: Like the scoreboard went black and and the fans just

94
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: went and the Browns fans next to me go is this,

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: Oh no, is this the thing?

96
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: And I'm like, it's it's the thing.

97
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: They know what it is, name, it's the thing.

98
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 3: Same ooh mama.

99
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: And the towels just start going there and they're like,

100
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: it's funny how fans know to like they're like slow

101
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: speed slow speed time.

102
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're ourselves, yeah.

103
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 5: Right, accelerate.

104
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: They just go crazy. I mean that always. I don't know,

105
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: I always love Oh, I love that too.

106
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: And I got into it with somebody online because they

107
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 4: were like, this is just for the fans. If players

108
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 4: don't care anything about that, it's not pumping them up.

109
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: And I said, ask the players, all right, they might

110
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: not know whose sticks are, they might not know the

111
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 4: lyrics to Renegade, but when they see seventy thousand fans

112
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 4: and all.

113
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: Those towels going, you don't think that gets them ready

114
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: to run through a wall?

115
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 4: What every player that comes here from somewhere else, it's

116
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 4: one of the first things I mentioned.

117
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, They're like, I'm so glad to be on the

118
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: other side of that, this time, who was the best

119
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: dress Steeler Friday at the fashion show?

120
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, like DK Metcalf and Deshaun Elliott were

121
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: our co captains, so they were out of the running

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: for the swag award that we give away for every

123
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 4: fashion show now named the Golden Cleat Award. Those two

124
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: dudes the cleanest dress people I've ever seen.

125
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 6: You don't you should name it after Frenchy Fuqua.

126
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, give it the Fuqua dude.

127
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if anybody you know, like player remembers him,

128
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 4: but I mean they've definitely seen that picture.

129
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and goldfish shoes everybody we're talking about, dude, Frenchy

130
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: Fuqua used to wear like the most crazy outfits.

131
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: The most flamboyant.

132
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 2: He actually had shoes like platforms that had goldfish swimming around.

133
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: In the bottom.

134
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 6: Okay, I thought that was a joke.

135
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: That's real, that's real, all right.

136
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 4: And it came and one of the models came out

137
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 4: on Friday night and had a terrible towel cape and

138
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 4: Missy was like, I think you look great in that cape.

139
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,119
Speaker 4: I was like, you're breeding my mind. I want that cape.

140
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: I need that cape. I will have that cape perfect

141
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: with my terrible tube top and also a terrible cape.

142
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: Who thinks of this?

143
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: It's Keia Tomlin and in her collections are always incredible,

144
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 4: but she was in rare form this year with the

145
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: selections that she had for the show. Everybody just gets

146
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: so into it has so much fun. It's really funny

147
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 4: because the offensive linemen, as you can imagine, are not

148
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: big fashion guys, mainly because you know you're you're you're

149
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: paying more because of the amount of fabric that it

150
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 4: takes to cover their bodies.

151
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: Washington just come out wearing a cape the.

152
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: The infield tarp from PNC Park.

153
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: But and then you know, I bet Kia and Mike

154
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: Tomliner a feeling pretty good about things right now because

155
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: you know Steelers.

156
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: Tomlin stays for the whole night. Like he comes out,

157
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: he's grinning from ear to ear. He's hanging. He just

158
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 4: wears a suit, nice business casual suit. No, no, he

159
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: he gets formal for it, and he comes out and

160
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: says a few words in the beginning, and then you know,

161
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 4: Bob Pompiani is such a great host, and he was

162
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: actually the man literally behind the curtain.

163
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: He was a wizard of put hello. I Mean, it's

164
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: so crazy.

165
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 4: Backstage because you're wrangling fifty three players and their whole families.

166
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: So like we're like, he's like, there's two kids here.

167
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 4: There's four names. I'm like, maybe they're hyphen I don't know.

168
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 4: And then and then the director, the stage director is like,

169
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: just say Ann family, just say Ann family. And then

170
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 4: and then me and uh Missy Matthews are out there

171
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: on stage together, and she's such a a partner out

172
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: there because mean, so much of the show is just

173
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 4: this high octane, no break, so many transitions, and I

174
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: like forgot a couple things because at one point I

175
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 4: asked de Sean Elliott and DK Metcalf to do me

176
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 4: a huge favor and beat the Brownies this weekend, and

177
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 4: then he grabbed the mic, looked both ways and was

178
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: like after Browns.

179
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: And I was like, all right, well, I think that

180
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 3: ends the show.

181
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 4: And I just started ending the show, and she was like,

182
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 4: boh wait, we have something else to figure out.

183
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh yeah, there's a whole other part

184
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: of the show. She's just like, f bum, all right,

185
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: we're gonna get out on that, all right.

186
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 4: I'd like to thank Ki Tomlin credit Rooney, the Steelers,

187
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 4: my parents.

188
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: You know.

189
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 2: I mean, as frustrated as I've been with Mike Tomlin

190
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: and what they have done, most of my frustration comes

191
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: from a personnel standpoint, Like I just I have questioned

192
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: what the hell they've been doing the last year and

193
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: change think some things just haven't made sense to me.

194
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: But you can't really question his success rate in the

195
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: NFL right now. Look around the league and look how

196
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: bad some of these teams. Look how bad the Browns are,

197
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 2: Look how bad the Bengals are.

198
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: Look how bad the Jets are.

199
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 4: And that's a great comparison because Aaron Rodgers was on

200
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 4: the Jets last year. They won five games. Justin Fields

201
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 4: in his first six games, won four of them. Here,

202
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 4: look at justin Fields in New York. Look at Aaron

203
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 4: Rodgers in Pittsburgh.

204
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, they still haven't won in Aaron Rodgers stability matters.

205
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 6: Yes, Russell Wilson right now he is busted.

206
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: Splinters in the ass.

207
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it also just kind of shows to go,

208
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: yeah that it's there isn't another amazing coach just waiting

209
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: to take a franchise over. I mean, Ben Johnson struggled

210
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: in a little bit I mean, Aaron Glenn might not

211
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 2: make it through the season in his first year as coach.

212
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: I had looked, and you know, there's teams that are

213
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: struggling out there right now, and a lot of times

214
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: it's because I see I think that coach Marizona is good.

215
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: I think John Gayda's a good coach. I mean other

216
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: than assaulting as players, yeah, I agree.

217
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: Other than that, yeah, But there's there's a lot of

218
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: mediocre coaching and bad football teams out there right now.

219
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 3: And the Steelers, as bad as things.

220
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 2: Get, they never look like some of these one and

221
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: four teams are looking right now. No.

222
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 4: I mean, as we've said in years past, super high floor.

223
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: It just gets frustrating sometimes when the floor is the ceiling,

224
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: you know, and so and these guys know that, and

225
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 4: it's they have designs on the postseason.

226
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: So if you're.

227
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 4: Going in there feeding them their own news clippings, they're

228
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 4: batting it down because they know that December ball is

229
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: around the corner, and that's a whole different animal.

230
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: Jerry Doulack will join us at age forty five. Rob

231
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: came with a power hour of Steeler Talk coming up

232
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: at nine o'clock. Abbey's got your news. Now, what's going on?

233
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 7: Is this hour brought to you by wind Donation plus

234
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 7: with times of clouds and sun today and high of

235
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 7: sixty eight.

236
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 6: I'm gonna jump ahead here. It turns out that.

237
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 7: Arby's may not have the meats, or at least a

238
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 7: class action lawsuit in New York suggests so. In September

239
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 7: twenty twenty three, Joseph Alongis filed a class action complaint

240
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 7: against Arby's in the United States District Court, claiming that

241
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 7: Arby's engages in a widespread, systematic campaign of deceptive advertising

242
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 7: when it comes to the quantity and quality of meat

243
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 7: in several of its signature sandwiches. To the plaintiff, the

244
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 7: brand is misleading consumers, enticing them to pay for a

245
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 7: product that is significantly less valuable than advertised.

246
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 6: So when it comes to the quantity of the meat,

247
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 6: the suit.

248
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 8: Alleges that the sandwiches features featured in the Arby's ads,

249
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 8: so you have to think about what you're actually seeing

250
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 8: when you see the ad campaigns. They feature at least

251
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 8: one hundred percent more meat than those purchased in the store,

252
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 8: which the plaintiff argues is false advertising.

253
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 5: Can switch exactly According to the platif, RBS achieves this

254
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 5: hyperbolic effect through several deceptive techniques, such as placing all of.

255
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: The meat at the front.

256
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 6: Of the sandwich.

257
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: Front meat. What does that mean?

258
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 2: The meats in the front, The meat up in the front,

259
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: the front on a round sandwich whatever, in front of

260
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 2: the forever.

261
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: It's facing the camera, it's the front of at the back.

262
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: There's not so up front. I got the front.

263
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 6: Button like go over.

264
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: Could be hitting it from the back. I'm just saying.

265
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 7: You know, they use a lot of props to exaggerate

266
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 7: the size.

267
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, got the meat.

268
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 6: See what I'm saying.

269
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 3: I know some people are prone to do that.

270
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 6: Maybe it's a little bun maybe just kind of your

271
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 6: butd big meat.

272
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: Just got they so they have like beef as envy

273
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: or something. That's what I'm saying, doctor and their beef.

274
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's no good. You know, it comes in.

275
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: It's just a big gelatinous slab that they unfreeze.

276
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: And that's what I thought the lawsuit was that it's

277
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: just not even meat.

278
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a meat like substance with like forty

279
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: percent meat in it.

280
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 7: Well it is, I mean, like that's the thing when

281
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 7: you do see the commercials, it looks like kind of

282
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 7: like when you order a burger that you're like, oh,

283
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 7: I have to cut that in half. I won't be

284
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 7: able to eat that burger in one bite because they

285
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 7: do look stacked. I can't remember the last time I

286
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 7: got an RB's sandwich, but they're pretty compared.

287
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are.

288
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: They're also delicious, and I like, I grew up on

289
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: the five or five's that was a that was our

290
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: dinner quite often back in the day, super cheap, and

291
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: our fridge always had a million Arby's packets in it.

292
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: And to this day, I gotta have Arby's packets in

293
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: my fridge because you never know someone might bring Arby's over.

294
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: And if there's not enough Horsey sauce or enough Arby sauce,

295
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: then I'm just not gonna enjoy it always. And then

296
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: it also works at Halloween if you run out of candy,

297
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: you can just give some Arb sauce out.

298
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 6: Put you out there.

299
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 4: Does that stuff ever go bad? Or is it like

300
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 4: from two thousand and two.

301
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 3: I don't know the answer to that.

302
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: Then in your junk drawer, it's like a version of

303
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: a drunk drawer in junk drawer in my refrigerator where

304
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: it's just kind of like all the ancillary stuff, like

305
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: you need anything from takeout, yes, right, the equivalent of oh,

306
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: you need a Phillips head, it'll be in there.

307
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 9: You know, soy sauce packets, all that kind of stuff,

308
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 9: but lots of Arby's sauce.

309
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. I hope Arby's figures this out. I'm

310
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: a fan. Beef and cheddar is for me.

311
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: If you're going all time top fast food sandwiches, beef

312
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: and cheddar might be above the quarter pounder for me.

313
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: And the quarter pounder back in the day was a staple.

314
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: But beef and cheddar is a little more exotic, a

315
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:06,960

00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 7: non actionable puffery.

357
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,720

00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: and you get there and it's smushed.

367

Speaker 7: I I kind of remember being a little buzzed and

387
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 7: outside of this conversation and having it slices sentient and

388
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 7: fully having the conversation.

389
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 6: We just don't know past.

390
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: Your eyes prepared cheese product. Cheese product.

391
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 6: That's the loophole. That's how they get you.

392
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 3: I don't know I had, but it's like separated out

393
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: from all the real.

394
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: Do you have an egg sandwich without putting American cheese

395
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: on it?

396
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: Like breakfast sandwich?

397
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 6: Why would you do that?

398
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 9: I gotta have the mlty American on it right, it's

399
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 9: too dry. Other words, I don't even on a cheeseburg.

400

Speaker 2: A lot of people like monster cheese with mushrooms, and

406
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,960

407
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 6: I don't like that's it's getting a little outside of

408

Speaker 6: my comfort zone. But I'll do it.

409
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,600

446
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: you know, before we get into another ninety minutes worth

447
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: of Steelers dock here, before we get out of here.

448
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: It does bear mentioning that with Penn State firing James

449
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: Franklin midseason, it's something that was unforeseen previously, Like you

450
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: would never ever expect Penn State to do something.

451
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 4: Like this, playoff aspirations, national title aspirations.

452
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: The game has fundamentally changed.

453
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 2: College football is a completely different sport than it was

454
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: ten years ago. And the idea that you would pay

455
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 2: someone to go around fifty million dollars to just walk away.

456
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 10: According to mL Football, that breaks down to for the

457
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 10: next six years for James Franklin.

458
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 3: Yes, I've heard forty six. I've heard fifty six. What

459
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 3: is it? It's forty nine, I believe.

460
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 10: But according to mL Football, he's going to make for

461
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 10: the next six years fifteen dollars a minute, nine hundred

462
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 10: and thirteen dollars an hour, twenty one nine seventeen dollars

463
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 10: a day, one hundred and fifty three eight hundred and

464
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 10: forty six per week, and six hundred and sixty six

465
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 10: thousand per month.

466
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 3: Now to not coach.

467
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: If he goes back to coach somewhere. Does that nullify

468
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: the payment? Does he have to sit out the whole time?

469
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: Is it a non compete or is it a concurrent

470
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: with whatever deal he might sign somewhere else.

471
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 10: If it was pro, it would even out. I'm not

472
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 10: sure how it works in college. I don't think they

473
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 10: have that same deal. I think he just gets it.

474
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 2: That's just crazybod who was the previous record holders of

475
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 2: mac down in Texas?

476
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: Oh, the buyout guy? Yeah, I don't know.

477
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 4: Did the Raiders have to pay Gruden? Well, they're about

478
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 4: to pay him gay time. Well, I know he's about

479
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: to get paid by the NFL. Yeah, but remember they

480
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 4: signed him for like ten years, one hundred mil or something.

481
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 3: Crazy.

482
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure there was something there in buyout form when

483
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 2: that whole thing went down, but this being so much

484
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: different than hearing that Adidas was behind it. But that

485
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: deal doesn't go in effect till next year. Like next

486
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: year is this year?

487
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 3: It's still all night? Why did you lose your quarterback?

488
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: Go on the pro shop or the college shop? I

489
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 2: guess for Penn State, here's my question about college football.

490
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: Now.

491
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 10: It used to be the coach was king because he

492
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 10: was the guy who would get the players, right, Yeah,

493
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 10: people would want to go to Alabama to play for

494
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 10: Nick Saban because he was all that. If you don't

495
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 10: have an endless supply of millions of dollars available, would

496
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 10: you rather pay a coach ten twelve million a year

497
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 10: for six years or fifteen million or what some of

498
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 10: these guys are making, or would you rather hire a

499
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 10: young coach who knows his stuff but isn't really established and.

500
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 2: Just buy them players? I mean, where do you put

501
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 2: your resources? I think that you try to find happy medium. Really,

502
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 2: you don't load up one side or the other the

503
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: expense of the other.

504
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 10: Bill Belichick the latest to prove that right there. If

505
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 10: you don't have a really good quarterback, you're not that

506
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 10: good of cooking. Yeah, you know, could speak to that

507
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 10: a little bit.

508
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 3: I do.

509
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: I don't love what this does to college football. Though

510
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 2: it does, I can't stand dilute the product considerably. And

511
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: I am also of the mindset that I think the

512
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: players should be getting paid, and I think that they

513
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: should have some you know, autonomy over their own college experience.

514
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: And I know you feel a little differently and think

515
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 2: that the education is the payoff.

516
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: They just generate so much money.

517
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 2: I think there had to be some sort of equitable

518
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 2: solution there.

519
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 3: It might have overcorrected. I don't think this is it.

520
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's going to be interesting to see what

521
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 2: happens at Penn State now and the idea that Penn

522
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: Staters think that anybody like that they have their.

523
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: Choice, you know, like, oh, well, Signette's gonna come here.

524
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 6: Now, why would he want to go to Penn State?

525
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: Why? Yeah, Jacob's doing the big He's doing the Dolphin. Yeah,

526
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 3: the studio number three team in the country. You might

527
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: win the national championship in Indiana? Yeah, why would you

528
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: go to Penn State? Mark Cuban went to India. They

529
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 3: got money out the wazoo.

530
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 10: They just never really were trying at football till they

531
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 10: got Signetti Penn State.

532
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 3: But oh, I would question that. Indiana. Yep, I don't know.

533
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 10: Indiana's sleeping giant in terms of the alumni base and

534
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 10: how much money. Those people have a lot of money

535
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 10: in corn. Apparently that's good to know. I mean it's

536
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 10: in everything.

537
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is true.

538
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 10: But actually their eye was the corn and they're the

539
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 10: granite and cutting stones and right, Jake, would you major

540
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 10: in stone cutting.

541
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: Corn?

542
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 3: In Indiana, but they have the Indiana limestone. That's yeah.

543
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 3: You guys make those really nice looking buildings. Yeah, it's beautiful.

544
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 3: Every building on campus has it yet, Jacob, you are

545
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 3: a rockhead. What did they do with the stones?

546
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: So two weeks ago, James Franklin's Penn State team had

547
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: Oregon in over time with a lead, with a national

548
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 2: championship on their minds.

549
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 3: Cut to two weeks later, basically losses to.

550
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: Oregon u c l A A winless u c l

551
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 2: A and without a coach, with a gaslar coach coachless

552
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 2: and new Aiel's kid pops up like Doogie howserd and.

553
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 3: With the game decoordinator how many million?

554
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: And then they drop that one to Northwestern this weekend.

555
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 2: As bad as that is, I never thought.

556
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 6: They were going to get rid of him.

557
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: I really did not that he is, that he is gone.

558
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 10: I thought the Northwestern game decided Okay, he's not coming back,

559
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 10: but right.

560
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: I didn't think it would be mid season.

561
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: And also the fact that, like it is so just

562
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: this is how things are now that Penn State puts

563
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: out a big graphic like thanks Coach Franklin, It's like thanks,

564
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 2: just there's no thanks.

565
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 10: That stuff is so stupid. Every team does that on

566
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 10: social media, it does trying to make themselves look magnanimously. Yeah,

567
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 10: cutting the guy's.

568
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: Head off, and look, it is a lot of money.

569
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: I don't know where he's gonna end up, James Franklin.

570
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: He'll get a job somewhere, maybe North Carolina, who knows.

571
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 3: Maybe that.

572
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: And also, by the way, this has got Bill Belichick's

573
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: seat heating up even more because if Penn State is

574
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 2: willing to do that in the middle of the season,

575
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: North Carolina and their money people have to be looking

576
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: at each.

577
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 3: Other right now, going, hey, guys, what are we waiting for?

578
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I think that process has already begun,

579
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 10: which is why they put out statements to say right

580
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 10: that means it's begun.

581
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: But you'll probably see Bill Belichick doing the NFL on

582
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: Fox before the end of this season. I think as

583
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: a result of Franklin getting fired, Like you said, if

584
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: the wheels.

585
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 3: They ask him, his girlfriend steps in.

586
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 6: It's like, we're not going to talk about She just

587
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 6: whispers to this see her like.

588
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: Well, what the hell can we ask you about? Yeah,

589
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: we're on the next week. We got to talk about this.

590
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,479
Speaker 3: When we're doing the pre game. I want to talk

591
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 3: about an that's crazy though.

592
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 10: It's the Franklin's up until these last couple of weeks.

593
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 10: The splits of beating everybody you're supposed to beat and

594
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 10: never beating anybody good are ridiculous.

595
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: Yet, like, it doesn't add up.

596
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 10: It shouldn't be that profound a gap, and yet, and yet.

597
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 4: And then you have the Drew Aller situation out for

598
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 4: the season, didn't come out last year. Then all of

599
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 4: a sudden, I don't know if you guys have seen

600
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 4: the text messages that came out.

601
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: I have not. What.

602
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it's real. Oh, I mean, what do

603
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: you mean it's not real? Did you see a report

604
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: that those text messages are not real?

605
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 3: What are you talking about?

606
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 4: Him talking to women on campus? The type of things

607
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 4: that he's saying. Oh, I mean, it's just not a

608
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 4: good look.

609
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: It's not like he's going to jail or anything.

610
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 4: It's just that he's, you know, sending some explicit messages

611
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 4: to to the females on campus. I mean, the guy

612
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: runs the hurry up offenses all getting rid.

613
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: Uh, we just met he runs the hurry up offense.

614
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing like I'll show you. No, I want

615
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: to see them. It was a prompt when I put

616
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: in Drew hours. Is he like showing wang or is

617
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: he no?

618
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: No, No, it's more what he's requesting to see. And

619
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 4: you know he's drawing up plays in the sands.

620
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well interesting, all right.

621
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: We got a power hour of Steeler talk coming up

622
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: with Rob King in the nine o'clock hour, and more

623
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: Steeler talk with Jerry Dulac when we come back. Steeler's

624
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: sitting pretty after another well another victory over the Browns

625
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: Insburg and that's the twenty second in a row.

626
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of a weird split too, it is.

627
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 3: Although that's stuff to me. I mean it's fun to

628
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: talk about.

629
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 10: But I don't know that you think it's five years

630
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 10: ago applied to yesterday, you know what I mean?

631
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: Just a coincidence, big quinc quinki inc Well, I mean

632
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: it kind of just like the way it's supposed to be.

633
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: I bet the Browns have lost a lot of games

634
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: in a lot of places.

635
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: That's a good point, you know what I mean. I

636
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 3: don't think it's like this name of this cre a

637
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: lot of teams.

638
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's their record in Baltimore for instance, probably not

639
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: great Steelers taking on the Bengals Thursday night, a short

640
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 2: week for them, and I get that win and go

641
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: to five to if they can get a victory there,

642
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: and go to five and one, uh and host another

643
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: AFC foe AFC North foe. Well, I mean it would

644
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: really be hard for them to screw up losing the

645
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: division after that.

646
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 10: Can we have a brief moment of silence for me

647
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 10: that I'm doing the postgame show now and I don't

648
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 10: travel anymore, so I do not get to go to

649
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 10: O'Malley's in the alley on Wednesday night.

650
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 6: Sorry, sorry that you won't be able to do that.

Speaker 10: You can get go into an alley with her, get annihilated.

655
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 10: Shales of Cincinnati. I think they advertise it that way. Jerry,

659
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 10: if you are doing it, you should be doing it

660
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 10: with the bet parks sportsbook and online casino app. Here's

664
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 10: cashing over unders of late by knocking the total down

665
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 10: to a much more attainable.

666
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 3: Number and then betting the over.

667
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 10: Yes, the odds changed, but trust me, so do your

668
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,880

699
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 11: How are you morning, random, I'm great.

700
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 2: How about you well, I mean doing pretty good and

701
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: you know. Mike Tomlin famously on this here radio program

702
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 2: The DV Morning Show, exclaimed in the preseason that this

703
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 2: defense had a chance to do some things that were historic. Well,

704
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: it took a while to get ramped up, but I

705
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: think what we saw yesterday, Now granted this was not

706
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 2: exactly the most high powered offense in the world, but

707
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 2: they are basically imposing their will on the other team

708
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 2: with both sides of the of the line in the trenches.

709
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 2: They are winning it in defensively. That was what we

710
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: were worried about early on quich John Judkins. They had

711
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 2: him at ninety yards the odds makers yesterday is the

712
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 2: over under.

713
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 3: He didn't even sniff that. Jerry.

714
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, you look at the last two games,

715
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 11: and you know, okay, I know they had those leaky

716
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 11: moments in Ireland the last quarter, their last half of

717
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 11: the quarter, but for three and a half quarters they've

718
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 11: dominated the Vikings, and defensively they did pretty much the

719
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 11: same again yesterday. You know, the last two games, twelve sacks,

720
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 11: thirty quarterback hits. You know how many quarters. That's a

721
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 11: lot of quarterback hits, a couple takeaways, you know, one

722
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,479
Speaker 11: hundred and thirty five yards rushing they've allowed combined. That's

723
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 11: the most since Week seven, a few of since Week

724
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 11: seven last year. And you know, not allowing a touchdown.

725
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 11: And again I know, you know, I know, it's the Browns.

726
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 4: Mike God.

727
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 11: They ran seventy five plays. Could you imagine that offense

728
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 11: running seventy five plays. I don't know how that happened.

729
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: Fifty two drop passes for Dylan Gabriel in his second game,

730
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 2: first game in the States.

731
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, fifty eight back attempts and a sack six times,

732
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 11: so he threw fifty two. But the defense, and here's

733
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 11: the other thing though too. They're playing with an aggression

734
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 11: and kind of nastiness and speed which you hadn't seen,

735
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 11: and maybe it takes time that we haven't seen in

736
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 11: the first couple games. I think it also helps that

737
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 11: they had their whole deployment of defenders available for the

738
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 11: first time as well. But it's the speed and aggression

739
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 11: that they're playing with. I mean, Patrick Queen, yes, you know,

740
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 11: I remember last year what's wrong with Patrick Queen? But

741
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 11: you know, look at him, there's nothing wrong with Patrick Queen.

742
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 11: It's just a matter of getting comfortable in your new

743
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 11: environs and he's just been he's been a terror out there.

744
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 4: One of the ways in which they made history yesterday,

745
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 4: Jair was that they announced twelve players on defense, announcing

746
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 4: Nick Herbig.

747
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 3: I've never seen it before.

748
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 4: Totally deserved because I don't care where you have that

749
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: guy on the depth chart. He's a starter, he's a contributor,

750
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 4: he's an energy bringer, he's a game wrecker.

751
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 11: Wow, that's a lot of adjectives. But you're right about that, Billy.

752
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 11: But I've seen I've seen him introduce additional players before.

753
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 11: I I don't know, you know, whether it was offensive,

754
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 11: I've seen that happen, But nonetheless, that is historic to me.

755
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 3: Damn it.

756
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 11: Little tribute, A nice little tribute though, for her, but

757
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 11: he certainly deserves it. He leads a team in facts

758
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 11: at four and a half, and uh yeah, I mean

759
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 11: he is, he's a game wrecker and everything else that

760
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 11: you called him, Billy, He's been very very good.

761
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 2: You know now friar Mouth only gets targeted once yesterday,

762
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: and right off the bat you see Darna Washington make

763
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: a huge contribution. It really does seem that, as much

764
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 2: as Mike Toma wants to say, hey, that jumbo package

765
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 2: is about when you play four three teams, you got

766
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 2: to have some some some big hosses out on the

767
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: end there, this guy.

768
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 3: Can do it all. I mean, what do they need

769
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 3: Mooth for other than depth?

770
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 2: At this point, it's like, all right, we're paying him,

771
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 2: but in the aggregate, it's worth it to have him

772
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: in Washington. Anybody who says, like get rid of fire

773
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 2: Mooth and like, man, we're still gonna need him. But

774
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 2: it looks like, you know, Darning Washington made a fantastic

775
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: catch for a first down yesterday on top of that

776
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: opening thirty six yard reception. It really does look like

777
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 2: the Arthur Smith offense and Aaron Rodgers lean more to

778
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 2: using Darnell Washington moving forward than Mooth despite the price tag.

779
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know that they're necessarily going to lean

780
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 11: that way. But a couple of things. One, when when

781
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 11: Darnell Washington was in Georgia, you saw him catch the

782
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 11: ball and run with the ball, when I was always

783
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 11: a little surprised they didn't use him more when he

784
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 11: first got here. Second of all, I loved that play

785
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 11: call to start the game. You come out with your

786
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 11: heavy package, you know, same thing you did last week.

787
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 11: I mean and Ireland nineteen appearances for for Spencer Anderson

788
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 11: and then and then you run that play action throw

789
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 11: the Darnell Washington onto that package. To me, that set

790
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 11: the tone for the play calling. It's it's like it,

791
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 11: you know, I don't want to say it kept the

792
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 11: Browns off balanced the rest of the game, but I

793
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 11: thought Arthur Smith did a great job with the play calling.

794
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 11: It was it was smooth, it was rhythmical, and I

795
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 11: think Aaron Rodgers that you know, he'd you know, his

796
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 11: numbers aren't gaudy, but they're pretty solid, and you know,

797
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 11: two hundred and twenty five yards, twenty one and thirty

798
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 11: no picks, and and you know in the last two games,

799
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 11: he's only been sacked two times in the last three games,

800
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 11: and that's testament to the offensive line and all the

801
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 11: people complaining proud they gotta fire Pat Meyer. You know,

802
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 11: you don't hear anybody complain about the offensive line the

803
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 11: last three games. Nobody mentions Broderick Jones other than the

804
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 11: fact he was pretty good yesterday against Miles Garrett. I

805
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 11: know they gave him some help, but there were instances

806
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 11: where he was still there by himself, and you never

807
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 11: heard Miles gar It's name. For the most part.

808
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 2: Rogers did make one mistake yesterday, and which you know,

809
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 2: that's pretty good ratio, but not throwing the ball at

810
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 2: was it Warren or Gainwell's feet on that one where

811
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: he like dish it to him and they took an

812
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: eight yard loss.

813
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah like that.

814
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: Other than that, pretty smart. He missed a couple of

815
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 2: receivers yesterday. Well that's gonna happen, and you know dk

816
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 2: he underthrew and the other time he either threw the

817
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: back shoulder to inside or underthrew it and hit the

818
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 2: It was a campbell that he hit in the back

819
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 2: on that one. Regardless, Aaron Rodgers has been everything that

820
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: they want him to be.

821
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I asked Rogers when he was leaving

822
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 11: his little postgame interview about that deep ball to Metcap

823
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 11: And I got a kick out of it, because, you know,

824
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 11: he threw a little he threw a little moon ball

825
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 11: there and it came up woefully short. And when he

826
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 11: was after it came was incomplete, he kind of looked

827
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 11: up at the top of the stadium. I think he's

828
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 11: looking for the wind direction. And I asked him, I said,

829
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,919
Speaker 11: I said, did the wind for you there? He said

830
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 11: he actually thought it was blowing the other way, but

831
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 11: you could just see it. It just it kind of

832
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 11: knocked his ball.

833
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 3: Dog.

834
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 11: I was going to ask him, why why didn't you

835
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 11: throw up a couple of blades of grass to see

836
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 11: which way the wind was blowing and except there weren't

837
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 11: any blades of grass.

838
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about that for a second. Why does

839
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 2: that Why throw it?

840
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 6: TJ.

841
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 2: Watt was pointing to the divots at one point, Boswell,

842
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 2: I mean he could have got injured on that one.

843
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 2: Sean Sweezum knows all about that. Uh, why is that

844
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 2: field in such terrible shape?

845
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 3: You know what? Eight days after the last time there

846
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 3: was a football game on it?

847
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 11: Well, the good news for bos is that the ground

848
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 11: gives way, it doesn't grab. I'm like a sweem, So

849
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 11: that was the only good part about that. But I mean,

850
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 11: you know, the Steelers hadn't what they played there once

851
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 11: since the preseason. That's the Pits played there how many

852
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 11: times in the middle of the field was just terrible

853
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 11: And obviously they're carrying it up now that was the

854
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 11: plan all along, but it was it was in poor shape,

855
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 11: and to me, it's kind it's kind of embarrassing to

856
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 11: see the field like that in October when it's still

857
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 11: a growing season. Obviously, so you know they did. They

858
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 11: they probably waited, you know, a week too long to

859
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 11: resurface the field. They're doing it now, but you know,

860
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 11: it just it looked terrible. It played terrible. Uh you know,

861
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 11: Aaron Rodgers said it was borderline unplayable.

862
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:24,959
Speaker 3: And it was Jerry.

863
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 2: Last week you said the Steelers were going to approach

864
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 2: Jihn Ramsey's injury the same way as JPJ and expecting

865
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 2: him to be out as long. He ended up playing

866
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 2: this week, much to the surprise of everyone. How did

867
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: that end up happening? Where we went from well, he's

868
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 2: probably going to be on ice for a month to

869
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 2: he'll be there for the next game.

870
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 11: Yeah, they they they had him on a pitch count

871
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 11: yesterday and and I never did see his total number

872
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 11: of snaps, but he played, you know, Aaron Rodger.

873
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 10: Three, It's crazy, what that sixty three.

874
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 3: That's a prety high pitch.

875
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 11: Out and they Aaron Rodgers was singing his praises. What

876
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 11: he did not only to just make sure he could

877
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 11: try to play, was the fact that he played all

878
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 11: that time. And you know, we saw him come off

879
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 11: the field one time where he kind of aggravated that

880
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 11: injury and then there he goes back in the game,

881
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,959
Speaker 11: you have to give the guy props for what he did,

882
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 11: not only just playing, but then the way he played

883
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 11: on top of it. And you know, any other like

884
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 11: Aaron Rodgers was saying, he says, eighty percent of other

885
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 11: guys in the league probably would have said I'm not

886
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 11: going to play this week just to take care of

887
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 11: that injury. And yet there he was sat out all week,

888
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 11: but practiced the last day and was out there on

889
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 11: the field. So I can tell you they did not

890
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 11: expect him to be able to play, and there he was.

891
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 11: Good for him.

892
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially with the short week coming up here Thursday night,

893
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,200
