He said, I'm not fighting you, 25 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: but now Dino maybe want to maybe wants to fight Jersey, 26 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: Jerry's podcast partner Kevin Kevin. 27 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I just I wanted on the records. I 28 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 3: didn't know any of this until like literally ten minutes ago. 29 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 3: I loved I love Jerry's death, you know, like he's 30 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 3: a brother to me. 31 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 4: I would do anything for him. 32 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 3: Whenever something like this happens, my immediate knee jerk reaction is, 33 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 3: Jerry did something wrong, and I'm gonna take the. 34 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: Other guys out because I feel like he's in. 35 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 4: The right here. 36 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 3: I know nothing about it, but as soon as if 37 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 3: I go into the office and I asked Jerry like 38 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: two questions, I'll probably get a clear idea that Jerry 39 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 3: said or did something that like, yeah, he probably should 40 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 3: get punched. 41 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: In the So it's like one of those things when 42 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: you are a fan of a team or a band, 43 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: you feel removed far enough that they the person that 44 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: you're talking about, stops being a human.

And I would say 47 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: that Jerry has been less than judicious in his uh 48 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: estimation of Mike Tomlin's abilities yes, I. 49 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 4: Think that's fair and it is true. It's it's something. 50 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 3: That we like Jerry should know it because people do 51 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 3: the same thing to us where they treat us like 52 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: we're not humans and talk about us like we're not 53 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: human beings. And there's like, you know, it's a bigger, more. 54 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 4: Serious discussion about how like computers. 55 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: And phones have completely made this world like such a 56 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 3: cruel place because people think they can just say anything. 57 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: But yeah, I just want it on the record that 58 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 3: like I love again, I love Jerry.

It's kind 78 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: of like when Anthony Soprano Junior tries to go kill 79 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: Uncle Junior, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, you 80 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't be doing this, Like we'll take care of it, 81 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. 82 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: It's it's the whole thing, it feels like, And you 83 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: guys can tell me because you obviously no way, far 84 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 3: better than I do. But like from an observer from 85 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: the outside and like you know, a big fan of 86 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: the NFL and covering the NFL, it does feel like 87 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: the heat has finally reached like a real spot for 88 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin where we've gone through this before, but this 89 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 3: one feels a little different where it's like, yeah, it's 90 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: crazy that the team is exactly the same yet again 91 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: for like the tenth year in a row. 92 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: Last year was the year that the seat got hot 93 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: on a level that it hadn't before, but it was 94 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: never he was never in danger of getting fired. A 95 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: lot of people were like, this is a joke. It's 96 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: the same thing a year after hear and then they 97 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: did this hold on, hold on, wait to see what 98 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: we have up our sleeve for next year. And then 99 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: they go out and give Slay ten million dollars. They 100 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: bring in Jalen Ramsey on that trade with John new 101 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: They get rid of Minka and bring those two in, 102 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: and they're like, this is gonna fit perfect. We're gonna 103 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: be able to cover everybody. We're gonna have shutdown man 104 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: coverage on defense. And then you know they'd given Patrick 105 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: Queen that big contract before that, and then Aaron Rodgers 106 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: ends up coming here and DK Metcalf and they spend 107 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: all this money and they're like, uh huh, that's right, 108 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: we're fixing this, and it is just garbage. And so 109 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: the noise that we've been hearing here Big Cat finally 110 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: has permeated enough of the now national bubble because the 111 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: problem is, and here's what has been pissing us off 112 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: forever in Pittsburgh is that we've been saying, like, dude, 113 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: this is not working. And then you get everybody on 114 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: ESPN going, oh, the Steelers would be crazy to fire 115 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 1: Mike Thomas, right, all of those guys. Now there's only 116 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: a couple of them. Now there's only Will Bond saying 117 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: that and a couple of other guys at ESPN. Now 118 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: you got Colin Colin Cowherd going, yeah, maybe it's time 119 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: for him to move on. You know, you got Ben 120 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger going on his podcast and saying that Mike Tomlinson 121 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: coach Penn State, which I'm sure you know, he didn't 122 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: do to piss him off at all. He just was 123 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: just gnawing off freaking opinion. He wasn't trying to get 124 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: under my skin, you know. And so that's how it's changed. 125 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: It's the national perspective on this big cat is that 126 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,559 Speaker 1: you know what, maybe those Pittsburgh's weren't just a bunch 127 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: of spoiled fans. Maybe they have a point. 128 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you guys do have a point. We've been 129 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 3: saying for over a year now that it's because I 130 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 3: remember that this point changed in my mind. It was 131 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 3: probably about last year around this time where we had 132 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 3: this discussion. I was like, for the longest time, I 133 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: was like, how. 134 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 4: Can Steelers fans be upset? 135 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: I would do anything to get in the playoffs every year. 136 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 3: I do anything to be over five hundred. And then 137 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 3: last year, after watching that team again, I was like, Yeah, 138 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 3: I don't know how you could watch this team and 139 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: be excited about it knowing that it's gonna be the 140 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 3: exact same result every single year. 141 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 4: And nothing is changing, and nothing is you know, like 142 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: that Bills game. 143 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: You guys, the Bills just ran the same play over 144 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 3: and over and over right down your throat. It's that's 145 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 3: bad coaching. And so yeah, I agree with you, Like 146 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 3: I see, I still think. I think Rex Ryan is 147 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 3: another one who's still hold out. He said something like 148 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin would get a job in a second if that. 149 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 4: Steelers fined up. I don't know if that's totally true. 150 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 3: Like, I think you get another shot somewhere else eventually, 151 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: but I don't think everyone's like, you know, running, you know, 152 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: banging down the door. For Mike Tomlin at this point, 153 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 3: he might have to do a little self reflection and 154 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: and go, you know, pick a year off before he 155 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 3: becomes the hot commodity. 156 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: And even if he did go somewhere, I mean, Andy 157 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: Reid is the comparison that I've always used here where 158 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: it's like it stopped working for him in Philly then 159 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: he had that four and twelve season or whatever it was, 160 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: and they finally bounce him after getting so close and 161 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: sniffing it a few times. He goes on to win 162 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: championships and they win two Super Bowls with two different 163 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: coaches since then, it was a mutually beneficial parting. I 164 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: kind of think that's where they are right now. But 165 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: I have to say I know that you guys on 166 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: pardon my take, highlighted our buddy Seth roerbas tweet, which 167 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: was the most I mean, this is nostradamus stuff. Mike 168 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: Tomlin will say something like we can't eat soup with forks, 169 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: we need spoons. Then the Steelers will sign a twenty 170 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: eighteen Pro bowler to the practice squad, and don't they 171 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: go two days later and sign Adam Thielen, who was 172 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: a member of the two thousand and eight Pro Bowl. 173 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: This, this alone should get Mike Tomlin fired. When you're 174 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: so easily partied. 175 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: Like the parody is so easy to do and it's 176 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: so on the nose, that alone, like should get him fired. 177 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: That's just you can't have you can't like, if you're 178 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlins, you got to have someone in that building 179 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 3: be like like when you're when you're talking to to 180 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: Adam Fielen's agent be like, hey, sir, just before we 181 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: do this, Like, I just I want to let you 182 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 3: know what Seth tweeted, We shouldn't get ahead on to us. 183 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: They yeah, they know they're onto us, and they this might. 184 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: Look bad in the public, and it did look bad. 185 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 4: It looks ridiculous. 186 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. Let's let's turn it 187 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: over to your team, because to me, this is the 188 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: game of the week. The Bears, yeah, and the Packers 189 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: at Lambeau. It's gonna be sub freezing temperatures, maybe some 190 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: flurries like flying around like the picturesque Bears Packers matchup. 191 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: This is an iconic you form clash on the most 192 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: heralded football field in the league. And now, finally, for 193 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, both teams are good. 194 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: Both teams are good, and your Bears have a chance 195 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: to keep a clasp on the number one seed in 196 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: the conference that I did not see coming. And you 197 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: did all of this without Caleb Williams actually playing great. 198 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: He's he's doing okay. So my question to you is this, 199 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: what is your confidence level going in against what has 200 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: traditionally been, at least in recent history the Bears kryptonite. 201 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 3: Oh, I mean it's not even I don't even think 202 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 3: it's kryptonite, because kryptonite, like I feel like Superman puts 203 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 3: up like a tiny bit of fight against kryptonite. We 204 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: haven't done any of that. So I am I'm weirdly confident. 205 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 3: Now here's the other thing I am. It ties in 206 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 3: purplectly to Mike common discussion, when you get a coach 207 00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: that you. 208 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 4: Feel confident, it does give you a little. 209 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 3: Bit of a calmness, where like Ben Johnson, I just 210 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 3: have the utmost confidence in him and his plan and 211 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 3: what he's done for this organization and the culture. And 212 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: we play the Packers again in two weeks, and it's 213 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 3: not like so I'm going into this game weirdly like, yes, 214 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 3: I obviously want to win, and I actually do in 215 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 3: my heart of hearts thinks the Bears can win. But 216 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 3: I also know we play them again in two weeks 217 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 3: and I'm not gonna freak out if we lose because 218 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 3: Ben Johnson will find a way. And it's like, find 219 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: a way to split this. And the reason why you 220 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 3: go nine and three to start the season is you 221 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 3: give yourself a cushion where not every game makes you 222 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: freak out, but I'm so excited that I Bears actually 223 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 3: have a team that I feel like can compete with anyone, 224 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: and we can run the football. We have an identity. 225 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 3: That's really what it comes down to, is like having 226 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 3: an identity. You guys know this, like when the Steelers 227 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 3: have an identity. 228 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 2: There's you just go in. You're like, hey, we know we. 229 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: Can do this better than anyone else, and it's up 230 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 3: to you to figure out how to stop it. And 231 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: our ability to run the football has been that this 232 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: year is so much fun to watch. 233 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, getting some takeaways too would be big. 234 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: Jordan Love seems to be getting better this year though. 235 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a fun one. I'm hoping the Bears win. 236 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: That'll make that that whole conference more fun if they 237 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: keep winning. And it's hard. It's impossible to not be 238 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: a fan of Ben Johnson ripping off his shirt, doing 239 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: the whole you know, getting the Wieners circle to to 240 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: give out free hot dogs on Tuesday. I think they 241 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: gave out a thousand hot dogs after he did the 242 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: shirtless celebration. Dude's kind of jack too, for what it's worth. 243 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 3: Oh, big time. I said I would leave my wife 244 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 3: for him. So I and she found out about that. 245 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: She wasn't happy, but I said, I was. 246 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 3: Like, listen, like I don't think he wants to leave 247 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 3: his wife for me, right, but if he if I 248 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 3: get the call, like he's he's my home. 249 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: He's a guy. 250 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not gay, so I don't care, Like I 251 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 3: just we just lived together. We'll just have like a 252 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: you know, like a relationship where we just live together and. 253 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: Just hang out. 254 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was Aaron Rodgers' birthday the other day. Did 255 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: did he ever return your birthday message to him? 256 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: He did not. I don't, I don't. 257 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 4: I don't expect to return. 258 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: What did you say? 259 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,599 Speaker 3: I just a happy birthday friend? And uh no, no response. 260 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 3: I actually am like, it's it's crazy. I think it's 261 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 3: maybe just like the fact that he hasn't been a 262 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 3: packer for you know whatever it is three four years now, 263 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 3: Like I actually am starting to feel bad for him 264 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 3: because that was it's just like that shot of him 265 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 3: with his nose alf aangled. 266 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: And just. 267 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 4: Like yeah, yeah, it's just like what. 268 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 2: Are you doing? 269 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 4: Man? 270 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 3: You got so much money, Go go live your life 271 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: somewhere else, Like this is crazy. 272 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: But that's the look on his face. The look on 273 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: his face is like I shouldn't have done this. That's 274 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: kind of how I was reading it, Like I shouldn't 275 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: have done this. 276 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, like you. 277 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,599 Speaker 3: Shouldn't have left the packers, Like and I know that 278 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 3: was obviously there's more of the packers coming, you know, 279 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 3: drafting Jordan Love and all that, but like this is 280 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: he's he's he's gone through the gauntlet last three years 281 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 3: and I'd imagine this has got be it. And so 282 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 3: he probably didn't have the best birthday ever, but Adam 283 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: feeling that's a nice birthday present. 284 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: Yes, well, maybe he'll show up to the film study 285 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: your home.

They can't assess 316 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: talent here. They think they have something so much better 317 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: than they do. 318 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: And and and another one is like George Pickens should 319 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: get my tom and fired as well. 320 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 2: Oh my god, crazy, Like that's coaching. 321 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 4: That's He's the best wide receiver in the league right now. 322 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 2: He was so fun to watch. 323 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: He was so fun to watch, even if we you know, 324 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: he wasn't as gonna be as good he year as 325 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: he is in Dallas.

Then you then you have 336 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: the aha moment where you're like, no, that's just coaching. 337 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 3: Like if if a player leaves and is awesome without 338 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,239 Speaker 3: your like outside of your organization. 339 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 4: That means they're starting to get coached correctly. That's all 340 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 4: it is. 341 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: Well, and there's a couple of those guys, Kevin Dotson 342 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: being one of them, recent memories that have left the 343 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: Steelers and gone on to great things after we gave 344 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: up on them. My last thing I have for you, 345 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: I tried to. I went on the Fish's ticket outlet 346 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: yesterday to sign up for Spear shows just to see 347 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: if I could get anything. And the price for Fish 348 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: at the Sphere, I'm like, I'll see if I can 349 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: reserve four tickets. They make you pay for your tickets, 350 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: whether you're gonna get them or not. It comes out 351 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: of your bank account. Yes, you have to pay for 352 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: them no matter what. And it's three hundred a ticket, 353 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: So a three day pass to get four to three 354 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: day passes thirty six hundred bucks. And I'm like, there's 355 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: no way I'm doing this. I can't look. I would 356 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: love to see them there because after seeing Dead and 357 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: Company there, it was so much fun. And Fish does 358 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: an even more unique show. Every single night is a 359 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: different Sphere show for them. They spend a lot of 360 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: money on it, but I think I'm gonna draw the 361 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: line on a three hundred dollars face value ticket for 362 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: a concert. 363 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 3: I think that's fair. I think that's absolutely fair. I 364 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 3: thought the same thing when I was like, all right, 365 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 3: I want to go, and I probably will go, But 366 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 3: like that is I didn't realize that part of it that. 367 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 4: You have to pay before. 368 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's gotta be a it's all. 369 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 3: This stuff eventually, right like the regular But that's that's 370 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 3: also like I guess I'm not to the same level 371 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 3: of you know, like money. 372 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 4: That we're asking for our fans. 373 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 3: But like we did sell like hank Dog toys over 374 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 3: Black Friday, and those sold out right away. So if 375 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 3: there's a demand, I guess you got to just do it. 376 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: Were they three hundred dollars apiece because you missed out? 377 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: If they weren't, they weren't. 378 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 3: There were twenty dollars apiece. We sold five hundred of 379 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 3: them in eighty seven seconds. We discalculated how many to order. 380 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: That's unbelievable. 381 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 3: We had we had like three thousand people on the 382 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 3: wait list within the first ten minutes. 383 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 2: We really messed that one up. 384 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 3: We could have sold probably like one hundred thousand Hank 385 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 3: Dog toys. 386 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: Live and Learn Big Cat brought to you by Yanling 387 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: this morning. Best of luck against the Packers this weekend. 388 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: All right, thank you guys, appreciate it right Nobody. 389 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 5: On the DV morning show, Oh. 390 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: It's your radio home at the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of 391 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: two point five DVE DV Morning Show and Randy Bauman 392 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: along with Addy Prisner, Mike Pursuda, our buddy, Ted Whistle 393 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: hanging out with us this morning, and Jacob rec our 394 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 1: producer all season long. You know, Bill and I were 395 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: giving you the pick six. Well now he flew to Coop, 396 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: so it's left to me to give you three and out. Now, 397 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: these are three three games, three picks guaranteed, the probably 398 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: possibly maybe win you might cover. Anyways, Mike, I'll need 399 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: your help on this to get me started. What's the 400 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: first game? 401 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 7: Number one Bears at Packers minus six and a half. 402 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: Bears and the Packers. This rivalry is so old Jordan 403 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: Hudson wants to have sex with it and become its 404 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: business manager. The Bears and the Packers have been playing 405 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: each other since nineteen twenty one, when Chicago beat Green 406 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: Bay by a score of twenty and to nothing. Behind 407 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: the slashing running style of halfback gay Lord Stinchcomb. Gay 408 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: Lord's nickname was Pete because in nineteen twenty one, no 409 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: one could bring themselves to call another man gay lord 410 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: in public, and it was in fact illegal in some 411 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: parts of Kansas. It's going to be a classic December 412 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: game at Lambeau with below freezing temperatures and snow flurries, 413 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: the kind of game that used to give John Madden 414 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: an erection and cause Pat summer All to ask him 415 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: to please move down a couple of seats. Both teams 416 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: are coming off impressive road winds. The Packers stuffed the 417 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: Lions giblets back up into their body cavity on Turkey 418 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: Day mashing at ford Field, and the Bears dealt the 419 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: Eagles more than they bargained for on Black Friday in 420 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: afrankas in Philly, where Chicago may have finally broken the 421 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: tush push. Bear's cornerback Nayseean Wright found out. 422 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 6: That if you just you just jam your hand in 423 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 6: the middle of the tush push, the quarterback will not 424 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 6: only drop the ball, he'll sing Moon River and leave 425 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 6: his cell phone in your locker. 426 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: But the rivalry has been kind of in hibernation as 427 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: of late because of Green Bay's recent dominance. Matt Lafleur 428 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: went eleven to zero against Chicago until losing last year 429 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: in the regular season finale. But now with Ben Johnson 430 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: making the Bears revenant, the matchup has renewed vigor, especially 431 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: because of what Johnson said, upon taking the gig and 432 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: staying in the NFC North, to be quite frank with you, 433 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: I enjoyed beating met with Fleur twice a year. Oh 434 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: don't get cocky, Johnson. Sure you're a big hit at 435 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: the Wieners Circle where you bear chested that postgame celebration 436 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: in Philly to guarantee free hot dogs to Bears fans 437 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: at the famous Chicago eatery. So you weren't being quite frank. 438 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: You were actually being quite a few francs. But the 439 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers are about to pour cheese all over 440 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: your Chicago dog. Caleb Williams is still trying to master 441 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,719 Speaker 1: the forward pass with limited success, and Micah Parsons has 442 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: turned on his former wrecket Ralph self. The Packers got 443 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: the better quarterback and the better defense, Jordan Loving. The 444 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: Packers are on a roll and the Bears won't be 445 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: able to turn round. Take the Packers Eagles set Chargers 446 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: plus three. The Eagle Super Bowl hangover was raging last week. 447 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: That sleepwalk lost to the Bears was the equivalent of 448 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: getting up and peeing all over the toilet you puked 449 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: in a few hours before before stumbling back to bed. 450 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: But this Monday night, they're hoping there's a big bottle 451 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: at Gatorade and a greasy burger waiting for them at 452 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: SOFI Stadium in the form of the Los Angeles Chargers. 453 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: Let's start with the Chargers. There's big news for them now. 454 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: That's whether or not Justin Herbert will play after having 455 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: surgery Monday to repair a bone in his non throwing hand. 456 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: He still threw two tds against Las Vegas last week 457 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: with the broken hand, which must have caused a great 458 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 1: deal of hand envy from Kenny Pickett on the opposite sidelines. 459 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: I don't even have bones in my teeny tiny hands, 460 00:21:54,520 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: just Joey show off. So Herbert is likely going to play, 461 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: but he'll be limited in what he can do under 462 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: center Sam Familiar. However, running back O'maron Hampton also likely 463 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: returning from injury for LA so don't be surprised if 464 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: Hampton comes alive. Sorry, it was either that or a 465 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: hampton En joke, But Mike is staying there tonight, and 466 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: I don't want you to get pink eye. As for 467 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: the Eagles, their offense has been as effective as a 468 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: mesh condom. The whole town wants to fire offensive coordinator 469 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: Kevin Bittulo. Philly fans started making signs saying fire poop 470 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: too low, Never change Philly. Sakwan Barkley's been about as 471 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: explosive as Charles Barkley and Jalen Hurts downfield vision has 472 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: been a wonder Stevie wonder. More precisely, despite their two 473 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: consecutive losses, he did start forcing the ball to AJ Brown, 474 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: and that's made AJ happy, which in turn made Eagles 475 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: fans unhappy that AJ wasn't more unhappy about the Eagles losing. 476 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: Turns out it's not always sunny in Philadelphia, and now 477 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: I know why they all go to wah wah. This 478 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: one's easy unless Big dam is having some of his 479 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: good fellow cronies pull a galulei on Herbert's hand. I 480 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: think that weird O Harbaugh's defense is gonna flush poop 481 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: too low into the Pacific. Take the home Dogs in 482 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: the points go to Chargers. By the way, good sleeper 483 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: pick for AFC champion. By the way, the Chargers look 484 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: out for the Chargers. Just saying Mats Steelers said Ravens 485 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: minus five. 486 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 2: And a half like that. 487 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: You don't agree with that on the Chargers, all right? 488 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: The main events Steelers Ravens. When these two teams play 489 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: each other, you can throw out the record books, or 490 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: in this case of these two quarterbacks, overthrow out the 491 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: record books. Yes, the battle of the AFC North is 492 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: being waged by a single wristed forty two year old 493 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: quarterback who's doing the football version of Danny Glover and 494 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: lethal weapon. I'm getting too old for this pit. And 495 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, who's in a funk deeper than James Brown 496 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: could ever hope to have found himself in. How bad 497 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: did he get for Aaron Rodgers last week? He finished? 498 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: Listen to this last in EPA plus C POE composite 499 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: rating in week thirteen games. Can you believe that? No? Now, 500 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what either of those things mean, but 501 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: I do know the Steelers offense is mia and the 502 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: team is DOA. If he doesn't pull his head from 503 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: his ass, the number one task for the Steelers this Sunday. 504 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: They gotta stop Derrick Henry, and regarding Henry will be 505 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: a tough task given that James Cook burnt the Steelers 506 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: to a Chris Pittsburgh rare on Sunday, so rare it 507 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,719 Speaker 1: was the most they've been seared on the ground in 508 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: fifty years. I haven't seen a Cook run away from 509 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh that fast since Kevin Sussa tried to outrun all 510 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: those lawsuits years ago. Hey, at least he had Fetterman 511 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: blocking for him. I don't know what the Steelers excuse was. 512 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: Renegade got booed. They're chanting fire Tomlin, And every time 513 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: I open up Twitter, Matt Williamson has another factoid tweet 514 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: about how historically awful this team is. Every tweets like. 515 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh has a minus forty nine point differential in the 516 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: second half in overtime of games this season, the worst 517 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: since penicillin was invented. Jesus, that seems like a long time. 518 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's total yardage three week fourteen worse since the nineteen 519 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: nineteen Akron Bulldogs were decimated by the Spanish flu and 520 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: had to use a golt a goat as a full back. 521 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: We get it, now, we get it. The good news 522 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: for Aaron is that if he's able to keep from 523 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: having the rest of his nose ripped off by the 524 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: newly rejuvenated Raven's pass rush, he's got a new target 525 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: to ignore his audibles in thirty five year old former 526 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 1: Viking Adam balen Felin wanted his release from the Vikings 527 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: after getting scratched so he could join the Steelers and 528 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: get mauled. But now you know, next to DK, he's 529 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: likely better than anything else we have on our roster, 530 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: and I bet it won't be long before Rogers has 531 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: that feeling feeling, although I still don't understand why they 532 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: don't use Friarmuth Moore. I keep getting told Arthur Smith 533 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: loves tight ends, he loves a big fan, but Muth 534 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: and John who don't do squad. It's like how my 535 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: aunt kept telling me for years my cousin Timmy like girls. Yeah, 536 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: well why doesn't he incorporate them more often? Turns out 537 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: Timmy was into tight ends? But what is what has 538 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: happened to the ones? Mighty AFC North? I mean, all 539 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: four teams are a mess in one way or another. 540 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: The Browns have no offense, the Bengals have no defense. 541 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: The Ravens offense is starting to stink, and their defense, 542 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: which used to stink, is starting to get pretty good. 543 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 1: And the Steelers defense is on the field so long 544 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: it's no longer a steel curtain, it's a tarp. Sure, 545 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens are probably the better team by a beak. 546 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: And with the injury to Harmon King, Henry will make 547 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: Patrick Henry blush with the liberties he plans to take 548 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: with the Steelers defense. That was for you, Mike, But 549 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: this is AFC North football, and when this locker room 550 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: sees that the fan base has turned on someone they 551 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: love and revere, by gosh darn damn Galli, they will 552 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: rise up and support their guy after he's been booed. 553 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: So you bet you're black and gold ass that the 554 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: Steelers are gonna rise up and win this one for Dynasty, 555 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: Young and Sticks. That's right, buddy, well doing it for Sticks, Revive, Renegade. 556 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: The Steelers are gonna be sitting pretty atop the AFC 557 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: North when this one is all finished. Take the Steelers 558 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: and that's You're three and out.

How are you guys doing post Thanksgiving? 572 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 8: It seems like some people are very upset with the 573 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 8: Pittsburgh Steelers right now. 574 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of drama. I mean, as you know, 575 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: the seat that Mike Tomlin is on has gotten quite 576 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: a bit hotter in the past week or so since 577 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: the Bill's lost. Mike Tomlin's son is threatening to fight 578 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: Jersey Jerry Online. There's a lot of speculation about maybe 579 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: coach Tomlin going to Penn State because Ben Roethlisberger thought 580 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: it would be funny to float that out there, and 581 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: the entire national sports media ran with it and made 582 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: it an actual story which had to piss off coach 583 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: Kauer or coach Tomlin to no end. And our forty 584 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,479 Speaker 1: two year old quarterback is bum ducks. People don't come 585 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: over to his house and have cake. 586 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 8: Well, I mean that's a lot. But I have two 587 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 8: simple words for you, Adam Steeling. 588 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: Do you have that feeling feeling we do? 589 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 8: I mean she and then say this is this is 590 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 8: what I get so upset about. Is everybody such a cynic. 591 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 8: Everybody's in such a hurry to express skepticism, and Adam 592 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 8: Feelin proves they're not out of ideas. They're fresh and 593 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,719 Speaker 8: ready to roll into into the home stretch here of 594 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 8: this pro football season. Yeah, I'm glad Baumann that you 595 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 8: agree with with my take on Big Ben's take about Tomlin, 596 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 8: which was that he was trolling my. 597 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: Tongue, right, I mean that. 598 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 8: This this this was a gentle uh you know, middle 599 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 8: finger to to Mike Tomlin to suggest like, yeah, maybe 600 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 8: the pros ain for you fella. 601 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 4: Kind of thing. 602 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 8: But yeah, it's I mean, also correct me if I'm wrong. 603 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: What I'm reading. 604 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 8: Is that that that the knives are out inside the 605 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 8: building for Mike Tomlin from faithless nameless people maybe in 606 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 8: the front office or otherwise, because how else would you 607 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 8: explain the ex players. I mean even some of the 608 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 8: current players for that matter, but the ex players just 609 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 8: sort of it feels like it's a different level, like 610 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,479 Speaker 8: they're cut loose in a way that they haven't been before. 611 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 8: Ry Clark is spoken out, but now it's heaps of 612 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 8: people just shouting into microphones. Bleed James Harrison screeching into 613 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 8: a microphone about Mike Tomlin. 614 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: But that has always been the case. James Harrison has 615 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: never been a Mike Tomlin guy. We know that Big Ben, 616 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: We always have known that Big Ben holds a grudge 617 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: against Tomlin for not allowing him to keep the coordinators 618 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: that were playing the kind of football that he liked 619 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: and wanted to continue doing and thought put them on 620 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: the best path to win. And to a degree, he 621 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: blames him for the Killer Bees not winning a Super Bowl. 622 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: You know, Ben thought that there was more championships to 623 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: be won there, and I think he thinks Mike Tomlin 624 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: had a lot to do with that not happening. That's 625 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: why he feels like every once in a while and 626 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: give him a shot in the ribs and just kind 627 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: of feels good because he's got nothing at stake anymore. 628 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: But those two are not surprise. It's if people like 629 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: you know, Charlie Batch were to start turning, if you know, 630 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: if heines Ward, you know, made a comment like it's 631 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: time to move on, yeah, hokey. And and if Brett 632 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: Keesel were to say something, or Troy Paulamalu, then we 633 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: really will have been through the rubicon. 634 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 8: I mean, I hear you, but I do think it 635 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 8: has taken on a different level of upset with those guys, 636 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 8: and you know, even in the locker room. I mean, 637 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 8: it's all coming home to roost. It really feels like, 638 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,959 Speaker 8: you know, Rogers is now pointing fingers at the receivers, 639 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 8: and then Fryar Mood and Cam Hayward point the fingers 640 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 8: back at Aaron Rodgers. And it is funny that, I mean, 641 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 8: that's really the root of Tomlin and Roger, and I 642 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 8: think they would concede that between their actual words, what 643 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 8: they were saying is, you know, same as same as 644 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 8: the guy Mike Tomlin who eighteen months ago looked lovingly 645 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 8: into the eyes of Russell Wilson as the big savior, like, oh, 646 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 8: we've been through it. 647 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: You know, we both get it because we've been. 648 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 8: Through this and we've had some downtimes together. Rogers and Tomlin. 649 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 8: What they share is it's never their fault. That's I mean, 650 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 8: that's that's the recurring theme for their for their careers 651 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 8: the last decade of Mike Tomlin, and you know, since 652 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 8: the Super Bowl win by Aaron Rodgers, it is consistently 653 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 8: about even in the big spots, in the biggest losses, 654 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 8: it's never I screwed this one up. It's always they 655 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 8: always have the ability to point someone out publicly or 656 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 8: behind the scenes and make it their fault and then 657 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 8: move forward unscathed. It does feel this time like that's 658 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 8: not going to happen. Am I crazy? 659 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: No, it does feel like that. But he's got a 660 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: chance to turn that around. Much like John Harbaugh who 661 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: was ready to get gassed mid season. When did we 662 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: say that was twenty nineteen. He was about to get gassed, 663 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: and then they turned it around right at the end 664 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: of November and then one out and got into the 665 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: playoffs and it saved his job and he's been there 666 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: ever since. That can happen for coach Shamlin. This is 667 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: a first place battle for the AFC North on Sunday, 668 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: though it doesn't feel like it, because both of these 669 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: teams have been so so much, you know, under the 670 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: expectation of the fan base so far this year. 671 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 8: I think it's wild to consider. And by the way, 672 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 8: more globally speaking of all thirty two teams here and 673 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 8: the ongoing trend of the Curmudgeons, who the talking heads 674 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 8: about the NFL, who you see just are incapable. They're 675 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 8: like the Scooby Doo bad guy who who all his 676 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 8: crimes are always predicated on. These kids aren't going to 677 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 8: figure it out like they They refuse to accept that 678 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 8: the youth might have something to offer. They can't bring 679 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 8: themselves to understand that the favorites to go to the 680 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 8: Super Bowl right now are not the brand name guys. 681 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes are realistically in 682 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 8: line to miss the playoffs. All three of them could 683 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 8: miss the playoffs, and at the same time, sophomore's bow 684 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 8: Knicks and Drake May and Caleb Williams are fighting it 685 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 8: out for the one seeds and be as well. I 686 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 8: mean they're having nice seasons, but I'm gonna have to 687 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 8: see them do it. When do you think guys win 688 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 8: super Bowls in the twenty first century? They do it 689 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 8: in the window between their second and sixth seasons. Big 690 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 8: Ben did it in his second season. Tom Brady did it, 691 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 8: the aforementioned Russell Wilson did it. Kurt Warner. This is 692 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 8: the trend. It's not like everything's going to revert back 693 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 8: to form as long as we ride our savvy that 694 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 8: especially an old one like Aaron Rodgers, like, oh, we'll 695 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 8: be right as rain. No, no, no, that ship is 696 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 8: way far gone. It's the young guys and we got 697 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 8: to get in that business in Pittsburgh. But that's also 698 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 8: the realization I think that football talkers need to need 699 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 8: to make in general, but specific to the greatest rivalry 700 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 8: of the millennium. I don't know if I've mentioned this before. 701 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 8: Pad Nabbey, maybe make a note of this if you're 702 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 8: on the fence about which way do I leave Baltimore Pittsburgh. 703 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 8: They're both the putent brands and pro football. But just 704 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 8: as I'm I said to lay it out for you, 705 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 8: the two sides from which to choose, the Steelers are 706 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 8: named after the mid century heroes who forged the steel 707 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 8: that built the tanks and the ships used to defeat 708 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 8: the Nazi scourge. Okay, that's what that's the Steelers. The Ravens, 709 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 8: on the other hand, they're named after a poem written 710 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 8: by a Boston native who married his thirteen year old cousin, 711 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 8: moved to Baltimore, got drunk, and died. 712 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 4: Route for the Ravens. Go line up with Musa Lee. 713 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 8: That's it. You're against You're against America, you're against freedom. 714 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 2: He had. 715 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: The Nazi scourge. Well, the scourge of this uh Steelers 716 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: defense has been any team with a potent running attack. 717 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: If the Bills have done anything, they paved the way 718 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: for how it's done against the Black and Gold. And 719 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: I know King Henry ate what he used to be, 720 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: but man, we have had trouble in the last two 721 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: times we faced him. He had his cake and ate it. 722 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 8: Well, I would expect that to be the case again. 723 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 8: Here he's on a roll, is Derrick Henry right now 724 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 8: in the last couple of weeks. But it is weird 725 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 8: that Lamar Jackson isn't is not playing like Lamar Jackson. 726 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 8: It only does seem like to compare it to a 727 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 8: different sport mid career Michael Jordan and then his his 728 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 8: basketball doppel ganger, Kobe, both at about the same point 729 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 8: in their careers, just made a massive fundamental change in 730 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 8: the way they played and went from you know, attack 731 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,280 Speaker 8: the rim guys that at everything to mid range jump shooters. 732 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 8: It feels like Lamar Jackson better do that. The trend 733 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 8: of like I'm gonna be hurt for long stretches every 734 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 8: season is got to be unacceptable if you're a Ravens 735 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 8: fan or a Raven's ownership. But yeah, I mean, bottom line, 736 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 8: I agree with you, Tad. The you know, the ra 737 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 8: it's hard to to get real enthused about. Well, they're 738 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 8: gonna turn it around because TJ. Watt again went to 739 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 8: the podium after the last games said we got to 740 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 8: turn this around soon. 741 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 2: We got we gotta get on point here. 742 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 8: We got to watch more film, Like, hey man, it's 743 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 8: the week fourteen. You should have been doing that over summertime. 744 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 8: You should be tuned up at a different level right now. 745 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 8: By the way, Tad, before we wrap up here, tell 746 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 8: your sister, I said, what's up. 747 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 5: I will absolutely do that. She will be delighted to 748 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 5: hear from you, Dave, but you got to call her back. 749 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 5: At some point you're gonna have to stick your own 750 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 5: neck out there. 751 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 8: Listen, we're two grown ups. What we do is our business. 752 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 8: But thank you for thank you for passing along my message. 753 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 8: I want everybody within the sound of my voice to 754 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 8: enjoy Sunday. I hope it ends with that, with glory 755 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 8: because if the Steelers could win this game, can win 756 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 8: this game for all the belly aching is where we 757 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,280 Speaker 8: started off with what Bauman said. If they win this game, 758 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 8: everything will be turned upside down. The Steelers will be 759 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 8: on track improbably to win the AFC North and we'll 760 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 8: be feeling. 761 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:40,399 Speaker 4: Right as rain. 762 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 8: And either way, at least you're not on the side 763 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 8: of Mussolini, right. 764 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: Dave damnisheck Bron's you buy the Gateway Clipper this morning 765 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: on DVE. 766 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 4: That's me going here I go. 767 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 8: Let you hear it fade away as I get further away. 768 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 4: Have not done yet. 769 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 7: It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought 770 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 7: to you by Independence Health System Expert Care here at 771 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 7: Steelers Pro Shop get it direct from the team at 772 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,879 Speaker 7: shop dot Steelers dot com. 773 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 2: Here's Tom Opferman. 774 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 9: The ANFC North is on the line Sunday in Baltimore, 775 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 9: and the Steelers run defense needs to bounce back in 776 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 9: a big way this week after allowing two hundred and 777 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 9: forty nine yards rushing to the Bills last Sunday, But 778 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 9: the job doesn't get any easier against the Ravens.
