1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Well, well, well, there's a new sheriff in town, and

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: it ain't the friggin Steelers' coaching search. Penguins winn at

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Calgary last night.

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: For to one.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: Penguins are nine two and two since the holiday break,

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: second place in the Metro Division, second fewest regulation losses

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference twenty four, fourteen and eleven record.

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Just imagine if the Penguins were any good at shootouts. No, seriously,

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: just imagine if the Penguins were any good at shootouts.

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: The whole Geno line scored last night, every guy, Gino, Novak, Chinnikov,

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: but it was the cliched and proverbial team efforts. Penguins

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: almost totally in control, no doubt about it. There's a

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: structure there with Muse that went there down the stretch

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: the last few years with Mike Sullivan. Actually, there's a

15
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: structure there with the Penguins we really haven't seen since

16
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: way back in the Kevin Constantine era. And there was

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: like wife swapping involved there, so kind of a mixed bag.

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: Let's bring on now, Tommy Radio, Tom what about the

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: peng was in Calgary last night? No Carlson, no Latang

20
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: and no problem.

21
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

22
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: It was just a perfect effort from them really from

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: start to finish. I guess there was maybe a little

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: lull there and they fell asleep at the end of

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: what was it, the second period.

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 2: Goal with two point seven seconds left.

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: I know that sucked for Stu too, because I thought

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: he was playing so well right up into that point.

29
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: But he's to blame too for letting that in. But

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: sac it was.

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: It was a deflection, but yeah, just to give up

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: a goal, it sucks, yeah, at that point. But but

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: the thing is, they went into the intermission, you know,

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: having conceded that goal in the lead cut in half.

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: But then Russ scored fifty seconds into the third period.

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: He circumvented squeaky bum time restored the lead of three

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: to one. Like I said, it was almost never in

38
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: dot last night, but for that one goal.

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: And this was Skinner's second start in a row.

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: He obviously won't start tonight and she lost that tonight

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: in the back to back, but they got to make

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: the shift to him kind of be in the starter.

43
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: It just feels like a better team with it. I

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: don't know that.

45
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna do that, Like we discussed yesterday, I think

46
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: they switched Skinner to Calgary for avoid to avoid him

47
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: playing against this old team in Edmonton, to make the

48
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: game as vanilla as possible.

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: Would you, though, would you start shifting towards you personally

50
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: Stuart Skinner kind of being goalie one, you know, starting

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: him in Vancouver, and then even though it would be

52
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: she lost, started in Chicago on Thursday when they come

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: back home, give that to Skinner again.

54
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: It depends how she lof's place tonight. Again, I mean,

55
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: if Edmonton doesn't shoot him full of holes, that would

56
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: be a step in the right direction, because, like I'm

57
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: gonna talk about later at length, Edmonton has beat the

58
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: Penguins in nine of the last ten meetings, and Pittsburgh's

59
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: playing back to back, whereas Edmonton was there in Edmonton

60
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: waiting for them and didn't play last night. But but yeah,

61
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: I would start shifting a little bit towards Skinner. But

62
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm still not going to abandon shilloffs. But I also

63
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: still would switch him out for the shootout. What about

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: that that Geno line Gino one, the wing, Novak and center.

65
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: Each of them scored Chinnakov two.

66
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: I can't believe Chinnikov's release four balls in eleven games

67
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: is a Penguin, and thank god he didn't get along

68
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: with that coach in Columbus Evison. What's weird about that too,

69
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: is they traded chinnakoff because of that rift between him

70
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: and the coach, and then they fired Everson right after.

71
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: You'd think they would have seen the coaching change coming

72
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: and figured, Okay, maybe the next coach, Rick Bonus can

73
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: do better with this talent. But I'm glad it happened

74
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: the way it did.

75
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: No question about it.

76
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: You know, he's the part of that line that I

77
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: don't want to focus on right now because he looks

78
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: like he can be a really legitimate goal scorer in

79
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: this like you know, twenty twenty.

80
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: Five goals, top six wins, absolutely, and the guy who.

81
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: Can play with good players as he's doing with Gino

82
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: right now.

83
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: And that's another thing that's so huge for him is

84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: getting that Russian connection right now and being able to

85
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: you know, have that in the locker room with him.

86
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's helpful for him. So it's been perfect.

87
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: And Tommy Novak, I mean, you gotta give him credit,

88
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: right like, he just keeps coming, he keeps playing well

89
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: this year being thrust into that top six role.

90
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I give that line. I mean he's centering

91
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: if Genny Malkin. Yeah, I mean that line's good.

92
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: The only problem I have is they got kindled between

93
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: the Twin Towers, Braso and Mantha, and it's not gone

94
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: as well for them. But still there's no denying the

95
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: chemistry of the Malkin line. And they had to find

96
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: out about Chinnikov and get him going. Yes, you couldn't

97
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: bring him in and put him in a minor role,

98
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: otherwise there was no point of getting it.

99
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 3: And don't you think that's something that mus can keep

100
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: in his back pocket with the twin towers in Malkin Still, like,

101
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 3: if there is a little bit of a law, you

102
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 3: can push that button, get Geno back at center between

103
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: those two. I think that can be something that can

104
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: sparka team that's kind of in a little bit of

105
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: a stretch that you know is gonna come.

106
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: That's part of the hockey season. We still got a

107
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: long way to go here.

108
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't be, you know, looking to do that

109
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: as long as the should I call it the Malting

110
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: line or the Novak line, technically it's the Novak client.

111
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: Because Novak's at center, you should call it the Russian connection. Yeah,

112
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: but Novak's not Russian whatever, right, maybe good to say,

113
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's from over there somewhere. He can

114
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: maybe get a passport. Now, now we've got Pittsburgh at

115
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: Edmonton tonight, like we talked about, and I'll recite a

116
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: lot of numbers later. Uh, Edmonton has has just dominated

117
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh won nine of the last ten, and the dominance

118
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: goes beyond that. And McDavid kills the Penguins. But nonetheless

119
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: it's Sid versus McDavid. That's that's Mark Kee and I

120
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: think the NHL should be a shamed they haven't built

121
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: that rivalry up more. Although it's maybe hard to do

122
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: when the players and teams are in opposite conferences and

123
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: so rarely play each other.

124
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: Then again, that should give it even more of a

125
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: big event feel.

126
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you should always just be looking out for

127
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 3: when you're making the schedule. Okay, we gotta line these

128
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: games up for you know, a TNT eight o'clock puck drop.

129
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Now, I don't know, isn't.

130
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: There's no TNT games tonight. There's an ESPN game on

131
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: it tis.

132
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: The thing is, I hate that between periods and you

133
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: know the panels show that TNT does so much with

134
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: with with Hollywood Bis and so forth, that I just

135
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: I dread when the games are on TNT.

136
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: But you know my point, like put it on national TV,

137
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: so forget TNT, then put it on ESPN. Minnesota versus

138
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: Detroit is the game that ESPN selected tonight at nine thirty.

139
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: No, No, I would prefer it's on national TV for

140
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: the exposure. The league should too, but uh, Minnesota at Detroit.

141
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: That's the game at nine thirty on ESPN nationally.

142
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: Well, I'll get to see Johnny Whitehall anyway, and at

143
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: any rate, i'll be it beyond Purple, although although there

144
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: there will be the game will be on TV at Jurgles.

145
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: When I'm watching Beyond Purple, I'll be able to watch both.

146
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: That's a great setup. It's funny.

147
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: Reb was there with his solo band Red Beach one

148
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: time and it was the Pirates playoff game against the

149
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: Cubs where Schwarber hit the ball into a boat right

150
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: away and like, yeah, I like ReBs playing a solo

151
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: and I like a grimaced and he noticed it, like

152
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: what the what the frig?

153
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but McDavid does kill the Penguins.

154
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: But then again, and the Penguins, like I said, nine

155
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: to two and two since the break, that's pretty incredible.

156
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: And how about here, here's one good sign Tom.

157
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: The Penguins actually have more points than the Oilers now

158
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: by one point.

159
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Penguins just really feel like a playoff team. And

160
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: the positioning that they have put themselves now in the standings,

161
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: it's you're not You're never gonna feel comfortable in This

162
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: race in the Eastern Conference is just way too tight

163
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: for that. But they're other than the shootout stuff theyre

164
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: is about as good as you could ever ask for

165
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: right now.

166
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: No, they're a lot better than I thought. And I'm

167
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: actually working on a column for the Trib kind of

168
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: analyzing exactly why they are. And a big part of

169
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: it is goaltending. And one thing that that makes tonight's

170
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: match up better than Vanilla is Jari isn't goal for

171
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: Edmonton playing against the Penguins. I got to figure the

172
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: guy owes us a goal on the first shot. That's

173
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: the least he can do after all the times he

174
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: did it to the Penguins and not for the Penguins,

175
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: and It's not that Skinner and shilloffs have been great.

176
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: They've been very good, but was the face of failure

177
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: for the Penguins everythince he lost those playoff series in

178
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: twenty one and twenty two, in particular twenty one when

179
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: he made that turnover in overtime to give the Islanders

180
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: that overtime goal by Bailey that turned the series around.

181
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: And I said then they he should never have played

182
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: for the Penguins again. Nobody could trust them the dressing room,

183
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: even though they thought they trusted.

184
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: Him, they just did. You don't get rid of an

185
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: f up like that, a memory like that. He did

186
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: like the exact same thing too.

187
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 3: Did you see that like a week ago with Edmonton,

188
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: Like just had a terrible turnover, guy came screaming right

189
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: back in and put a game winning goal on him.

190
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: I think it was even in overtime at an end

191
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: of the game.

192
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

193
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: Goaltendings for sure has been such a difference maker for

194
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: the Penguins this year, and I just you just feel

195
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: more comfortable, like with both of them in the net,

196
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 3: but especially with Skinner, and I saw Josh getzof tweet

197
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: this out today. A huge factor two has to be

198
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 3: special teams. He said, they're the only team in the

199
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: NHL right now that goes into the games tonight with

200
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: a top five unit in both PK and power play.

201
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, three power plays, five question, and you gotta look

202
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: at coaching for that. I thought taking Kendel off PP

203
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: one would would lead to a decline. It is not,

204
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: although I still would have Kindle on PP one. Cool

205
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: night for him being back where he played juniors with

206
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: his billet family. You know the he works with some

207
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: special now about a sixteen year old kid, which is

208
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: what Kindle was when he got to Calgary immediately started

209
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: working with special needs kid.

210
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: Kendall's a special guy.

211
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: I wish he wasn't so kind of like reclusive, but

212
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, he'd be a guy like the chat with more.

213
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: But that's kind of creepy. I'm like grandpa to a

214
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: kid like that.

215
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: Edmonton tonight one good sign Tom no dry Sidle. He's

216
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: back in Germany for some kind of family thing and

217
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: we wish him well, but I'm glad he's not there.

218
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's a it's a matter of do

219
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: you feel lucky?

220
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: But but like I said, it's a back to back

221
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: for the Penguins and Edmonton didn't play last night.

222
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: Uh you know who got third Star last night?

223
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Tom This says it all about where the Penguins are

224
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: at and why they're surviving at the level they are,

225
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: Jack Say and Ivany he got He got two assists

226
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: and had like a show biz block. Did you see

227
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: that block where was like a big rip from in

228
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: tight He just dove in front of it.

229
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: It was awesome. He looked like Virgil van Dijk.

230
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: Now they're getting it from everybody, which is a great sign.

231
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: That's what playoff teams do. And how about the sequence

232
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: before they let in that goal at the end of

233
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: the second period, when Skinner lost his stick in the corner,

234
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 3: it was just chaos, but the flames could hit the.

235
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: Net actually everywhere. We got to get him on the

236
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: show soon. Skinner with he won't mind doing he he

237
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: likes the microphone. But but you know what he did

238
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: that all goalie should do. He refused to stick from

239
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: from a teammate. And that makes sense because the little

240
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: stick won't do the goalie no good and then you're

241
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: taking one less defender out of the play.

242
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: Smart.

243
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: He said, he's been in two Stanley Cup finals like

244
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: He's not a perfect goalie, but he's got experience.

245
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: No other goalie I've ever heard of does that the

246
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup finals.

247
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: He just smarter, Yeah, he just he just doesn't adhere

248
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: to the tradition.

249
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: It's like, like even better goalies, you're saying, we'll take

250
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: the stick of the defense.

251
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never seen a goalie not take the stick. Okay,

252
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: but it's here's an example. Dave Schultz to hammer the Goo,

253
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: the all time penalty minute leader, I think still in

254
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: the NHL. He came from the Flyers in their broad

255
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: Street Bully Stanley Cup teams, which I hate, and I

256
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: like Dave though I as a kid. He was like

257
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: a nice guy when I was like, you know, getting

258
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: autographs and stuff. But when he came to Pittsburgh he

259
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: broke his stick one time in the defensive zone. He

260
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: went to the bench to get another stick, and like

261
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: Johnny Wilson was the coach, then he went nuts. The

262
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: whole bench went nuts. And he said after the game,

263
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: he goes, we got ton Philadelphia. Well, you play a

264
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: man don for two minutes all the time, it would

265
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: be better to come to the bench and get a stick.

266
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: You play Don for like what ten seconds, but then

267
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: it's back to full strength and you got a stick.

268
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: Otherwise you're out there useless without a stick. And years

269
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: later I told that story to Ray Shiro the Penguinch

270
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: GM and he goes, that's dumb. You got to stay

271
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: out there, And I go, well, have you thought to

272
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: think that it was your dad's idea?

273
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: Fred?

274
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: He coached the Flyers back then, and it's what you

275
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: should do. It's absolutely we should do. So big IQ

276
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: points for Stuart Skinner there. Up next we'll talk about

277
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: something other than the e fingk Steelers coaching starts, because

278
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: I've never given a crap about anything less more in

279

Speaker 1: my life. They're gonna run it back, be the same team, FU.

00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: thirty years, and I'm not grateful for that. I did

316
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: you the favor even more so now. I mean, I'm

317
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: the guy who's different even more so now. And how

318
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: could you know how to figure it out that this

319
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: show is primarily for me. It's the me show, not

320
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: the U show.

321
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 6: Uh.

322
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: On the other hand, here's a tweet from just a

323
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: Citizen pointing out if the NHL regular season concluded last night,

324
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: Kyle Dubas would be a strong candidate for Executive of

325
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: the Year. And he lists drafted, Kendall signed, Braso signed,

326
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: Mantha signed, Watherspoon, traded Jari for Skinner, and Kulak traded

327
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: for Chinnikov. And even more than that, Dubas has laid

328
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: a foundation to move forward. That team that's doing the

329
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: coaching search, they have no foundation laid to move forward.

330
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: Penguin's going to be legit again before the Steelers are.

331
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: I Guaran fing t that. So let's not forget the

332
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: pinball wizard Kyle Dubas his role in this tom I

333
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about I do want to talk some football,

334
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: and this is really cliche sports talk, but the NFL

335
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: and Austen's finalists for MVP. They are Matthew Stafford, Drake May,

336
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Christian mccaffe, and Trevor Lawrence.

337
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: Who would be your choice? My choice would be Drake May.

338
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: But it seems like they just go back and forth

339
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 3: a year to year as far as is it most

340
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: valuable Player, as far as who got you know, a

341
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: team with low expectations way over those expectations, or is

342
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: it just who was the best quarterback in the league,

343
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: Like it's a quarterback award? I mean, he has no

344
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 3: choice now, He's just kind of a token running back

345
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: that you throw in there. He probably will finish fifth

346
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: or fourth in the voting. But like last year, Mark,

347
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: you know, Lamar Jackson had the better statistical year as

348
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: a quarterback, he was first team All Pro. Then those

349
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 3: same AP voters gave the MVP to Josh Allen. Okay, fine,

350
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: you just think Josh Allen's more valuable this year though

351
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: it's going to go to Stafford.

352
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: But I think Drake May's more of that.

353
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: Which is why these awards become more meaningless every year

354
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: because so many narratives get thrust into the voting process,

355
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: as opposed to, in the case of this award, who

356
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: is most valuable and if you go by the word valuable.

357
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: You're right, Drake May should be the guy. He took

358
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: a four and thirteen team. It's the most improbable story.

359
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: We're all, you know, messing our drawers over Indiana's you know,

360
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: come from behind, and what about New England's come from behind?

361
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: And Drake May is the guy by far, even more

362
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: than the coach Frable, by far, the guy who's most

363
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: responsible for it. But I agree with you too that

364
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's gonna get it. And here's why, it really

365
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: is a tight race between Stafford and May. I think

366
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: they're clearly the guys at the top of the table.

367
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: But Stafford's never won it. They're gonna figure May has

368
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: plenty of time to win it. Stafford's gonna get it

369
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: as kind of a lifetime achievement thing.

370
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: And don't you hate that? I mean, I absolutely hate that.

371
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 3: I mean, there is no guarantee that May is gonna

372
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: win it. What if May blows his outbout out next

373
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: year and this was his MVP season. He deserves to

374
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: get the MVP. He put up that kind of season

375
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: this year. I don't like being like, well, we got

376
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: a long time to give Drake May his evybo No No,

377
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: you're totally right.

378
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: But as a great man once said, I judge myself

379
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: by Stanley Cuppson scoring titles because nobody votes on those.

380
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: But I think Stafford is gonna get it. I think

381
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: May deserves it, but only by a slight marg like,

382
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: I won't be outraged if Stafford does.

383
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: Now the other awards. Do you care about the other

384
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: awards at all?

385
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: I don't like Offensive Player of the Year, that's just

386
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: the poor man's non quarterback MVP.

387
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've kind of like specialized, like almost like a

388
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 3: Cy Young and an MVP, right, you know what I mean.

389
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: I would guess McCaffrey gets that right probably, or maybe

390
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jigba the wide receivers.

391
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: Here's a weird statistical nuance with McCaffrey. I think he

392
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: got a thousand yards both receiving and rushing, over two

393
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: thousand yards total offense, but his yards per rush is

394
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: only three point nine And I've always felt, you know,

395
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: four point oh is the is the is the line

396
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: of demarcation for even having had a decent season running

397
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: the ball? And as if to confirm, I think only

398
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: two running backs in the Hall of Fame have a

399
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: rushing average below four point.

400
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: Oh, isn't jeralm one of them?

401
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 3: Yes, the best one of them Jerome and John Riggins. Yeah,

402
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: but McCaffrey as a receiver, that's what you got a

403
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: factor into. He's one of the most gifted players as

404
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: far as you know catching the ball at that position,

405
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 3: and he puts up tons of numbers and did again

406
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 3: this year in that aspect. I think Smith and Jigba

407
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: might actually win that award as far as which is

408
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 3: weird that he's not a finalist for the MVP. McCaffrey is.

409
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 3: But there's just no consistency with this. Do you care

410
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 3: at all about Coach of the Year. That's kind of

411
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 3: the only one that I kind of have a minimal

412
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: that's gonna be Tomlin Well not anymore. Or do you

413
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: think they give it to him on the way out? Yes,

414
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: lifetime achievement.

415
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: No, I think that's an overrated award. Like like I

416
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: just said, I look at New England. Rabel could get

417
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: coached here, probably will, but he's a finalist. I think

418
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: May's had far more impact.

419
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I always lean towards the players. Ben

420
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 3: Johnson I think would be the coach of the Year,

421
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: like he just seems to me like what he did

422
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 3: in Chicago seems like a future up and coming genie.

423
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: And never mind the record and jumping over, you know,

424
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: his divisional rivals from when he was in Great Division,

425
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: from when he was the coordinator in Detroit. He is

426
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: making Caleb.

427
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: I agree with that.

428
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: So, I mean, if you want to if it was

429
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: most valuable coach, he would be a runaway winner to me.

430
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean cayleb gets deserves credit too for what's

431
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 3: happening right now. He qull but yeah, Ben Johnson's unlocking

432
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 3: something there, whereas with the Patriots and Rabel, it's it's

433
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: McDaniels who's helping May along and unlocking things with him,

434
00:18:59,440 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: not Rabel.

435
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: I heard the B team today.

436
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: They were trying to talk themselves out of making Miles

437
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: Garrett the obvious recipient of the Defensive Player of the Year.

438
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: They said, oh, Burrow laid down on that last sack,

439
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: which he didn't do. And that's the thing about sucks

440
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: about Brett Farr when he laid down for Strahan. A

441
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: cat's suspicion moving forward, especially if it's convenient for the

442
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: misbegotten argument. In this time, the TJ Watt is somehow

443
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: fit to tie Miles Garrett shoes, which he is not.

444
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: He couldn't carry Miles Garrett's jock in a hockey equipment bag.

445
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: And that's not just this year, that's on his career,

446
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: although TJ did have a couple better years. But how

447
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: could you not give it to Garrett?

448
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 2: He's such an overwhelming favorite.

449
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 3: It's like the books aren't even entertaining anybody else possibly

450
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 3: winning this award. Even if he didn't get the sack

451
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: record mark, he's probably still the defensive player of the year.

452
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: Like that's like a default. Oh sack record, make him deepoy,

453
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 3: But he was so overwhelmingly the best defensive player in

454
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 3: football it would be stupid to give it to somebody else.

455
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 3: The runner up odds wise is Brian Burns on the Giants.

456
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: Another like, what are you gonna give it to a

457
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 3: guy in the Giants?

458
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 2: Well, you know what?

459
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: And like I just love I mean, I think TJ.

460
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: Wat's an arrogant ass. I think he's an underachieving gym teacher,

461
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: underachieving team wise. In fact, I have the line I'm

462
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: gonna use when he retires, but I can use it

463
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: now and just use it again. Then no one will

464
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: ever have a greater career that was less impactful than TJ.

465
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: Watt.

466
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 3: That's pretty harsh statement, but how could you deny it

467
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: when you don't have a playoff win? I mean, that's

468
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 3: what it all comes down to. That's the currency, right

469
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 3: that you deal with when you're talking about your true

470
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 3: legendary show. Certainly in Pittsburgh, Oh yeah, absolutely, and a

471
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 3: certain franchisees that just comes with the territory. Pittsburgh is

472
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 3: one of them, might be the one of them. But

473
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: that brings me Tom.

474
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna do an end depth discussion on this at

475
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: some point, but just too many topics came up today,

476
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: not least the Penguins winning at Calgary, not playing at

477
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: McDavid tonight against Jari as well. But if you had

478
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: the name one person on this show, and I'm putting

479
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: you on the spot, but don't be afraid to ruffle

480
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: my feathers. If you had the name one person on

481
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: show I've been unnecessarily or improperly disrespectful to.

482
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: Who would it be?

483
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't I don't know if I

484
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: can bring that up, But you're gonna think it's the Corsi, right,

485
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: or are people giving you a push back on the

486
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: course of course?

487
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you guys can go back and forth. Screwed

488
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: de Coursey? Who cares?

489
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: He's a great guy, he's great on the air, he's

490
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: my friend, he's Liverpool. But no, that's great, right, I'm

491
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: talking about a figure like a McCutcheon.

492
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 3: A what.

493
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: Talking about I'm thinking about the Coursey.

494
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: The Corsey didn't even buy into the play by play

495
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: on the Soba's lie goal yesterday.

496
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: Oh my, my TV's behind. Who cares? I told he scored?

497
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 5: Act?

498
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: Come on to course my act, sell it, sell it

499
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: under the wall? What a great free kick? Who's been

500
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: unfair to as far as an athlete?

501
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: Though? And then the phrase I'm using is or coach

502
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: disrespected unreasonably.

503
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 3: You're just such a truth teller. It's really hard to

504
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 3: pin someone down like that. You respect McCutcheon. It's what's

505
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 3: happening now that that's the one. You could make a case.

506
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 3: Really you didn't think.

507
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: In his prime he was a great player. He's obviously

508
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: a great player. You belittled him, then, I don't think so.

509
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: I just called him a dollar general level franchise legend. Well,

510
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: look at the other legends when you look at this franchise. Yeah,

511
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean maybe I'm just maybe I'm a smidge too far.

512
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm not with what I'm not with wa Wat's done

513
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: nothing cuts an MVP. I mean, what didn't win anything?

514
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: I mean he just he's a stats he's a stats

515
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: and money guy. You look, you look at the Watts.

516
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: They what did they win at Wisconsin?

517
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: Nothing?

518
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean I would bet they didn't win in high school.

519
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: I bet all they did in high school was bully

520
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: kids in the hall, like some of the gym lockers

521
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: and bullie the fat kids. I'm getting even for the

522
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: fat kids and go like six and four. Now, somebody's

523
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: gonna look say, well they won states and is shut up?

524
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't care. But but yeah, I mean maybe Cutch

525
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: May you know, you know who else you could make

526
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: a case for. See, I'm taking away the future discussion

527
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: of this. I'm gonna cut off at this and we'll

528
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: pick it up tomorrow. How's that sounds great? You could

529
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: make a case for Malkin one oh five nine.

530
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 6: God, it's the Woody Show week mornings at six.

531
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: Doesn't really matter on.

532
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: The X, Hey where are you? Everyone's here?

533
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: Eh?

534
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: Not really feeling it tonight. You're gonna miss out again.

535
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: It's out on what.

536
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 5: The rush of the tables, the thrill of the winds,

537
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 5: the cheers, the selfies, of the memories they'll never forget.

538
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 5: Don't be the one hearing about it tomorrow, Rivers Casino,

539
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 5: don't miss the moment.

540
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: Winters can be brutal in Pittsburgh. And if your heat's

541
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: running NonStop, but you're smed for you Gay show one DX.

542
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee went on a rant fat shaming all the lazy,

543
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: fat slobs who are gonna be joining him on radio

544
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: row at the Super Bowl, people he doesn't respect because

545
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: they're wasting their lives through improper eating. Yeah, some of

546
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: those will even be radio professionals. Pat, I can understand

547
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: why you wouldn't like that, but hey, Pat's the most

548
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: popular media act in the country, which speaks ill of

549
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: the country more than it does good of Pat. That's

550
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: America now, bullies and bros. I called out Pat for

551
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: fat shaming on Twitter. A bunch of people said, well,

552
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: you're fat. What would you say? It's okay to fat

553
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: shame f you America? Uh? I do feel obligated at

554
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: some point Tom to talk a bit about the about

555
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: the coaching search. Brian floor As re upped as Minnesota's

556
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, but he's got an out if he can

557
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: get a head coaching job. The Steelers in Baltimore both

558
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: reportedly interested. I remain convinced to be just an awful

559
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: choice because he failed at that job in Miami. Been

560
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: ten days since the job opened up. It feels like

561
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: everything's been said that can be except Dulac said that

562
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: Shieldhouse really impressed the Steelers in his interview. So Jerry

563
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: joins us the three thirty to expand on that. Uh

564
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 1: And I'm hearing more and more that the Steelers may

565
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: pitch that combination of Shula and Sielhouse a little ramjam action,

566
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: bringing a couple guys from LA. But that'd be too

567
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: expensive because you'd have to pay both guys big. So

568
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: I bet it comes back to McCarthy at a relatively

569
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: cheap price, and the Steelers hire their usual el cheapost staff.

570
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: So A Tom, why I think Flora is re up

571
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: with an out. Who's that help Himer Minnesota. It's obviously

572
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: a safety net, I guess for both sides. I think

573
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: it obviously helps Slors the most.

574
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: He knows he's got a secure job in Minnesota if

575
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 3: this spinning the carousel with Baltimore or Pittsburgh doesn't work out,

576
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 3: And maybe he's also reading the tea leaves a little

577
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 3: bit after his interviews with Baltimore and Pittsburgh, and he's

578
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: coming back and he's saying to Minnesota, let's let's get

579
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: this contract done, because I don't think I'm gonna get

580
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 3: these jobs. I'd be surprised if it doesn't. I want

581
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 3: to take them if I do, but I don't think

582
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 3: it's happening.

583
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: I bet Minnesota came to him and said, listen, we

584
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: need to know you're coming back if you don't get

585
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: a job, and maybe Minnesota raid the tea.

586
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 3: Leaves you ain't getting this head coaching job. We've talked

587
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 3: to some people, right like our owner has dug into

588
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: it a little bit and talked to their owners maybe

589
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 3: even and said and ain't happening.

590
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: Or maybe they said, listen, we've seen you coach here.

591
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: You ain't no head coach. You fed up in Miami.

592
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: Just sign on the dotted line, young man.

593
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: Thank you. Uh you know it.

594
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: I do like the combination of Shula and Shieldhouse. But

595
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers are cheap that it costs too much. You

596
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: would have to give Shula obviously head coach money probably,

597
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: and you'd have to give Shielhouse I think, close to

598
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: head coach money.

599
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: And who would in that scenario.

600
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 3: You think Shula would be the head coach or Selhouse

601
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: would be the head coach working on I.

602
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: Don't Sula would. He's been a coordinator. Sel Hoss is

603
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: not there, really is?

604
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 5: I mean?

605
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: I have people tell me, you know, guys who were

606
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, no ball as they unfortunately say who say

607
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: that you got to be a coordinator before your head

608
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: coach and Selhouse hasn't.

609
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: I don't know is that true though, I mean, I

610
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: don't know who knows if that's I don't know, maybe

611
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 3: take a swing at Schielhouse and maybe.

612
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: Only a coordinator for when he got the job, right.

613
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: I think Sheelaus has picked up a thing or two

614
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 3: under McVeigh, but you wouldn't expect him to come in

615
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: and then Shula to work underneath him. I don't think

616
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 3: Shula would like that or want to do that any

617
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: other way around. I like the Schelhouse thing, like like

618
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: take a very aggressive wild swing, and that seems like

619
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 3: that's what it would be.

620
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: That's my choice for head coach, just because he's the

621
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: offensive guy. Well McCarthy is too, but that's the two

622
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: times recycled. That's a little different. Uh. The first hour

623
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: of the show brought to us by our good friends

624
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: at Shanderovich, Shandrorovitch and Fishman.

625
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 2: They got your back, not your wallet.

626
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: Uh. It flies under the radar that that Rooney's a

627
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: tight wad, But the evidence is there smallest and cheapest

628
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: staff in the NFL.

629
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it. And was it always that way?

630
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 3: I mean, like I feel like Lebou obviously had to

631
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 3: command a pretty decent salary, right like you would think.

632
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: So I don't think his love for the Steelers count.

633
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: And I think BA got a decent Haley too when

634
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: they brought him on that was a former head coach.

635
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 3: The staff was still small. Oh that's a good point.

636
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: Like they kept it small, like there's no quarterback coach.

637
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 3: I remember they said there's no quarterback coach for Mason

638
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 3: Rudolph And they're like, how in the hell is that possible.

639
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: It's been the smallest staff in the league for as

640
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: long as I can remember. Yeah, I mean that's just

641
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: not the way, you're Chuck Noll coached by himself staff.

642
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 2: That's not true.

643
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: Slipped by They had bad rad weedonhaffer. They oh he had,

644
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: Chuck had.

645
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: Great assistants, great assistant Don't you.

646
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 3: Think that's true at every level of sport now too,

647
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 3: there's just too many people on benches that goes down

648
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: to like high school.

649
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: Some well funny you mention that, because I do get

650
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: wanting to keep a staff somewhat compact. Like, listen to this,

651
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: Tom Tampa Bay staff has twenty eight coaches with BA

652
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: in charge. Might I added the football ops guy? That's

653
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: what he is now down there? Why the freak do

654
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: you need twenty eight coaches? And now they added a

655
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: mascot and Danny Smith, But they got like assistance.

656
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: To the assistant.

657
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous, quality control, a director of rehabilitation, to women,

658
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: neither of whom played in the league. It's just all

659
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: over killed. I mean, twenty eight that's too much. The

660
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: Steelers had nineteen coaches last year. That's under the league average.

661
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 1: I think it's the smallest and a lot of them

662
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: were cheap hires. But you get what you paid for.

663
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you really think you need coordinators? Special teams, offensive, defensive,

664
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 3: a head coach, maybe an assistant head coach, like an

665
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 3: associate head coach, or you can make a that and

666
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: then just the position coach. Right, So that's like what

667
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 3: eight more coaches there, but we're talking like fourteen coaches.

668
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: Fifteen coaches is all you need?

669
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: Twenty eight? Doesn't it feel more and more like it's

670
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: going to come back to McCarthy. I really do feel

671
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: like that we're heading in that direction the interview.

672
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: Here's why cheap local. You can run it back, maybe

673
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: get Rogers, but run it back with the retreat at

674
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: quarterback at any rate. Now if you are going to

675
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: draft your long term quarterback this year next, McCarthy is

676
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: good with quarterbacks. I mean he's proven that with lesser lights,

677
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: Like who is the bummy guy in New Orleans when

678
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: he was down there?

679
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: I can't remember all the way back to that that

680
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: he kind of jumped started. What about the guy? He

681
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: did good with Dak, He made dakodad.

682
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 3: He won twelve games three straight years with Dak, and

683
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: then Dak got hurt and the guy then they fired

684
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 3: Cooper Rush.

685
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah he was fine, Yeah, seven wins.

686
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush did pretty good. So I won't be outraged

687
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: when it comes back to McCarthy. I'm not even saying

688
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: it's bad. It's just not what I would do, because

689
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, you're not moving forward. You know, once again

690
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: the crucifying themselves on the cross of right now that

691
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be try to go nine to eight.

692
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: At least I could at least talk myself into it

693
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: a little bit though, because of the offensive side of things,

694
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: like this is this is something different, Like he's bringing

695
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,719
Speaker 3: acumen too that side of the football. He's gonna put

696
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: an emphasis on that side of the football. He knows

697
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 3: how important it is and probably knows how to go

698
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: out and find that quarterback. So MacArthur, you could talk

699
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: yourself into it, but I want to do all of

700
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: those things with Shilhas and just see if he's, you know,

701
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 3: the one. What if he is the next McVeigh up

702
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 3: and coming, Like Sean McVay was obviously a coordinator before

703
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 3: he got the head coaching job, but he was still

704
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: an unknown. Now he's the best coaching football, Like.

705
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: Just take a stab.

706
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 3: It might turn out that way, or he might stink

707
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 3: and you can fire him in three years and do

708
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: it all over again.

709
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: Tom By way of teasing, I want you to, for

710
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: tomorrow's show, come up with a list of people you

711
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: feel I've unreasonably maligned on this program. We're talking athletes

712
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: and coaches, right, athletes and coaches, right right? I mean

713
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: like anybody like you know I I regularly maligned, like

714
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, you know I do. I was thinking about

715
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: this just right now. I do feel bad about me

716
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: and Pat falling out, but I never thought the show

717
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: was any good, Okay, I just think it's total lowest

718
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: common denominator bully ball stuff.

719
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: I'm not jealous of the money.

720
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm more than comfortable, and I've done things would I

721
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: feel using a respectful method, and you know and people

722
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now. I had an opportunity

723
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: to a bunch of wrestling podcasts, and Pat hired me

724
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: and his producer at the time, Mike man Sort to

725
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: do one and pull the plug after ten weeks. I

726
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: remember because he got hired by WWE, and I understand that.

727
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: But I bypassed a lot of opportunities to do that.

728
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: Okay.

729
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: Pat was supposed to sponsor a charity that cocky tournament

730
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: for the LEMW Foundation. He pulled the plug on that

731
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: like two weeks before, and that cost me personally, like

732
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: like three or four thousand bucks because I had to

733
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: make up the difference. I'm not gonna screw Mario to

734
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: THELEMW Foundation. You're screwing kids that.

735
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

736
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean I don't think Pat saw it

737
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: that way. And I'm not even sure Pat made the

738
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: decision his Like, you know, that's probably a management person,

739
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: one of his high school buddies. Somebody will watch the

740
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: money we decided that And and the other thing that

741
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: is that you know, I was the first guest ever

742
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: on Pat show, ever, first one.

743
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the when I first started producing for he'd

744
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: come on all the time. I texted, I remember that.

745
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: But like he just forgot that. And that's one thing

746
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: that maybe is a little personal. I mean, according to

747
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: people I know that are there that work there, he

748
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: decided I didn't fit the show anymore. Well I I

749
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: fit it when you couldn't get any.

750
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: Guests at all, no doubt about it.

751
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 3: Business honestly a little bit like this too, because you

752
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 3: gave Biz a lot of stuff early on in his career.

753
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: Well, Biz, I got pissed off at and Whitney too

754
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: because they run that Chicklis cup balls and they just

755
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: make it. Maybe they make a sport I've worked decades

756
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: to build into a joke.

757
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: She played at an international level on I didn't play

758
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: a coach.

759
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: Well you know I went near that good but yeah,

760
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean, like the Herb Brooks, but just made it

761
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: into a joke, like like when established players would go there,

762
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: Like you know, they call them by names, demeaning nicknames,

763
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: but that just buy into it. And and and just

764
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: because you know they're getting famous, at least as famous

765
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: as they're probably gonna bit had all the time, you

766
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: had guys drinking on the bench at the tournament.

767
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, I built that. I built that health

768
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah you know what I mean.

769
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: And if like, here's the thing, those guys don't understand

770
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: biz Wit and Pat two. The criticism of what they

771
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: do does not necessarily initiate a blood feud. But they

772
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: don't understand that because they're just not professionals. They they

773
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: just but but then again, they're the new professionals because

774
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: pretty soon, Tom, there won't be anybody with a microphone

775
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: that wasn't an.

776
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 2: Ex player, No question about that part.

777
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: Mark about the blood feud part, like if if Pat

778
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 3: was open to coming on the show, I'm sure you

779
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: talked to Pat about football. If BIZ wanted to talk

780
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: some hockey at some point, you would have.

781
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: Not this point. Now, it's way too far gone at

782
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: this point.

783
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 3: But like after that stuff initially happened, it wasn't like

784
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 3: I screw you with the ball hockey thing, you'll never

785
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: come on my show again, Or maybe it was.

786
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: I've barely mentioned it till now, right, Pat stuff, I've

787
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: never mentioned it brought up to you, yeaheah, No, I

788
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: never mentioned it. No, I never laid out the falling

789
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: out occurred from my endure. And the thing is Pat

790
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: thinks that I'm sure Pat thinks to know who's he.

791
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: He's beneath me. I'm I'm way bigger than he'll ever be.

792
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be the case, but you know, you know,

793
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. No, well, no, Pat, Pat's

794
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: the biggest media personality in the country, certainly biggest sports.

795
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: But he reflects just frankly decline in our culture in

796
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: every way our culture has declined, not to be critical

Speaker 1: The Mark Man Show, brought to us by our good

807
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: friends at Shandorovich, s Rovich and Fishmen. You know, Fishman,

808
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: if you're listening, how come we ink on the Firebirds lately?

809
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 1: Get them devilled eggs.

810
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 2: They got.

811
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 1: A great sound bite from Danie Rolofski on ESPN basically

812
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: saying the Steelers would be idiots to hire Mike McCarthy

813
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: and run it back with Aaron Rodgers. But that's only

814
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: because they'd be idiots to hire Mike McCarthy and running

815
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: back with Aaron Rodgers. I'd have less of a problem

816
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: with hiring McCarthy. I just don't want Rogers back, and

817
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: I especially don't want him to take until however many

818
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: months from not to decide which he will, because it's

819
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: always all about Aaron Rodgers.

820
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: You know what's weird?

821
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: People said he was a good teammate this year, and

822
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was, but yet it's still always all

823
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: about him, Tom, what.

824
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: Do we got for the trifectum?

825
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: For today's trifector mark, have you seen this forecast of

826
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 3: snow that we're supposed to get over the weekend?

827
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 2: Yes, twelve inches, thirteen inches.

828
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: Some people are, oh little teaser, Tom, I'm I'm going

829
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: to watch the Penguin game and the conference championship games

830
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: at one of these sidelines locations neither or so weickly,

831
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: but we're not announcing till we know about the snow in.

832
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 3: The heart of a snowstorm. Potentially with that in mind,

833
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 3: though Mitro effected. Today are three movies marked that a

834
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 3: big snowstorm are central too. Number three, the one that

835
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 3: you didn't see for sure, I'm gonna knock this out.

836
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: It's called snow Day. It's kind of a coming of

837
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 3: age movie about kids with snows. But Chris Elliott's in

838
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: it a snowplow man and Chevy Chase plays a weather

839
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 3: man in it.

840
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 2: I did see, you saw it, You've seen it. It's

841
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: absolutely terrible.

842
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 3: No, it's a great movie. It's one of my favorite movies.

843
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 3: It's a pillar number two of the shining. Obviously a

844
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 3: huge snowstorm there that brings Jack Torrans and his family

845
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: into that mansion.

846
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: Get some trapped there for the entire winter.

847
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: Who was the the female beating that Nicholson's wife, Oh

848
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: my god, Shelly Dovall Chlley Dwall.

849
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 2: She was brilliant, fantastic.

850
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: It's one thing for Jack to be scary, which he's

851
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: very good at, but for her to be terrified, that's

852
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: a bit of a tougher ask.

853
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: And she was great. She was fantastic at it.

854
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen the like behind the scenes footage,

855
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 3: you know, the famous here is Johnny scene of Jack

856
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: Nicholson pumping himself up to do it.

857
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: It's wild. He's like jumping up and down like he's

858
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 2: getting ready to play a football game. Here's Johnny's one

859
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 2: of the greatest scenes in any horror movie ever, without question.

860
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah A that is that a top three horror movie

861
00:36:59,360 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: as far as the.

862
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 3: Quality of movie is concerned. Like it's a it's gotta

863
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 3: be up there, uh number one? Those Groundhog Day right,

864
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: no question? Stranded in Pucksatwani what blizzard It's a couple

865
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: of flakes and Bill Murray.

866
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: By the way, had Bill Murray chosen differently, he would

867
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: have been a marvelous weatherman.

868
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: Oh. I mean, he wouldn't have been no Joe DiNardo,

869
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: but it had been pretty good. Bill Connors.

870
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: The trifecta brought list by Danny's PiZZ and Hogies family

871
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 1: owned and operated since nineteen sixty. That's Danny's en Route

872
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: eighty eight and met the Park. And I will let

873
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: people know about my sidelines, gig. We're gonna decide tomorrow,

874
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: although I think we should just do it and then

875
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: if if you're in a snowstorm, that's fun. If we

876
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: have to cancel it, I'll just charge the guy double no.

877
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: I told Bob, Bob Miller a great guy when charge

878
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: him at all.

879
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: So we'll see.

880
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: We'll let you know tomorrow. Tom Up, we'll probably talk

881
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: more about this tomorrow. We got the conference championship games

882
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I kind of like Denver upset New England.

883
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: Denver's a slightly better team, better coach and Sean Payton,

884
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: Rabels and meat had and Stidham can do enough at

885
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: quarterback to win that game. At quarterback, he won't be great,

886
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: but he can do enough.

887
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 3: I kind of like Denver too. I think it's just

888
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 3: funny people are kind of writing them off. And in

889
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 3: the NFL, it just kind of goes that way, right

890
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: when somebody's like, Oh, it's so obvious New England's gonna

891
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 3: win the sticals. Yeah, and especially when the teams are

892
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 3: at this level like the Denver Broncos as a team

893
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 3: or a great team that can rally around Stidham for

894
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 3: one game. You said it yesterday. Stidham's just got to

895
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 3: win one game. He's just got to play good one time,

896
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 3: and then he's like a hero forever, even if they

897
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: lose the Super Bowl. It's like he got us there.

898
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: And you know, they were talking about shooting bow Nicks

899
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: up with like I guess horse tranquilizers to get him

900
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: to play. I mean, I mean, do you think they

901
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: could get him back out there.

902
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 3: For the Super Bowl after three weeks off, shooting him

903
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 3: up like he's an actual Bronco and getting him out

904
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: there to play.

905
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: There's no chance he could do that, no way.

906
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: I definitely like seattle over the La Rams just so

907
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers can finally interview in person the two coaches.

908
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter though, and sheilas Oh really, can they

909
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: do it and do it in person? No matter what

910
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: after this weekend. I think Seattle's the best team in

911
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: football overall. And you talk about great stories, what's better

912
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: than the ballot of Sam Darnold.

913
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the team I'm kind of pulling for.

914
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: Sam. Donald's as big an individual underdog as Indiana University

915
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: was a team underdog in context.

916
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good call. And I just think Seattle

917
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 3: is the best team either way. I think this is

918
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 3: kind of a de facto super Bowl, right the NFC

919
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 3: Championship game. I think these two are clearly the better team.

920
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: You heard that Arlovsky SoundBite, right, Yeah, it's pretty brutal,

921
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: really honest.

922
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I'm with them.

923
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: By the way, since we basically have let this show

924
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: de evolve to the point where I, like, you know,

925
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: ask and receive personal messages over it, I'm gonna see

926
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 1: Beyond Purple the Deep Purple, a Family Tree tribute band,

927
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: tonight at Jurgles. I'd like to know what time they

928
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: go on. We try to call there, Tom. It doesn't

929
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: say on the website, So if anybody knows what time

930
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: Beyond Purple Jimmy Bell guitar player. If you're listening, let

931
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: me know. God knows this is a good plug. One
