1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Join me now talk about a whole pote poia stuff

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: from the post. Cazettas calingist Paul's ice, Paul sid got hurt.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: I've often said the professional athletes shouldn't play in the Olympics.

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: That asset for a pro team that's paying the salary,

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't be put at risk competing for somebody else.

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: I think this kind of defines that.

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 3: What say you, yeah, I've always agreed with that. I've

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 3: always thought it's kind of ridiculous that you've got professional

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 3: athlete who you know, let's face it, I mean, Sid

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: Sidney Crosby's worth what to the Penguins ten fifteen million dollars.

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: More than that, more than that.

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 3: Whatever whatever another number is. And I'm I, you know,

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 3: just can't understand why these teams in the in the

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: league has agreed to this from the standpoint of you know,

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: you you stopped in the middle of the season. And

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 3: of course, I mean, I don't know where the Penguins

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: are going to end up in terms of the Stanley

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: Cup days. So what I mean, what if you're want

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: of the teams? You know, I mean, what if your

20
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: edmontondn't lose you know, McGregor.

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: Well, mcdavie again, never never mind the top teams though, Paul,

22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the Penguins were on pace to make a

23
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: playoff spot, and just doing that gets you so much

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: revenue just for playing in one round. I mean this

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: affects the team's financial well being more than people would

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: think because hockey is so dependent on ticket revenue.

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: There's no question about it. And I think, uh, I

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: remember now. I don't know if it's still the same,

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: but I remember back when the Penguins were rolling, you know,

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 3: their budget actually, uh, you know, the break even part

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: of their budget included to home hockey game, the two

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: home playoff games Like that's you know that they needed

33
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: those two home playoff games to really get to you know,

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: break even. So to me, I just I don't, I

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know that it's necessary. I know

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: it makes the tournament a little bit more relevant, I guess,

37
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: and a little bit more And.

38
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: The players really want to do it. The players negotiate

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: it as part of their CBA.

40
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: Right, And but I but I'm telling you from a

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: business standpoint, it makes no sense at all. It makes

42
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: no sense for the for the NHL owners, and for

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: the uh, you know, for the for the teams, it

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: just doesn't make any sense to do it. And and

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: you know, at least when it comes to the basketball tournaments,

46
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: you know, at least the you know, the Olympic basketball

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: is outside the season. I'm still not crazy about it then,

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 3: because I think there's been ample evidence the guys that

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: play that extra month or two months in the in

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: the summer, you know, are more vulnerable to injuries and

51
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: fatiguing stuff. But at least it's outside the season. I

52
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 3: don't like stopping your season right to let these guys

53
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 3: go play.

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: Well, stopping your season in February where there's no football,

55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: no baseball, and the only competition for viewers is, uh,

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: the NBA. I mean, you're getting eyes on the Olympic product,

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: but that's not your product.

58
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: Exactly. I mean, again, it just doesn't make a ton

59
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: of sense to me. It really doesn't. I never have

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: liked it, and you know, part of me is a

61
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: furious where I'd like to go back to where it

62
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: was all amateurs competing. But I understand, you know, there's

63
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: revenue and there's money, and there's marketing and all that

64
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: other crap. And that's why the Olympics are where they are,

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: But to me, it was better when it was a

66
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: bunch of guys that were upstarts and guys that were basically,

67
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: you know, amateurs trying to become a big name guys.

68
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: I always thought, yeah, in the Soviet block provided the

69
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: pseudo amateurs who were really professionals. It just, I don't know,

70
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: I'm old, so maybe just what used to be automatically

71
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: seems better. What's your take on the Steelers in fighting

72
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: now that fat blob Zach Banner has joined the chat?

73
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I used to do show with Zach Manner,

74
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: and they've always fought him to be a very nice

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: guy and a very charming guy. I've also caught his

76
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: act on social media, and you know, I think he's

77
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: got he suffers from what I would call, well, he

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: really believes he's a lot more important and a lot

79
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: more of a star than he actually is. You know,

80
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: I got a kick that was it a couple.

81
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: Well, he's trying to inject himself into the media.

82
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: He declared that he's in the media now, and I

83
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: guess it is that easy these days.

84
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: Right, But my thing is, like a few weeks ago,

85
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: he said he retired. I'm thinking to myself, this guy

86
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: hasn't played for at least what three or four years?

87
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: Five years?

88
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 4: One?

89
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: Right, and and you know, like what you know, You're right,

90
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 3: anybody can be media Mike Mark, anybody can now dysh

91
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: you know, hook up a mic and basically I just

92
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: start talking. And that's you know, probably a big reason

93
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: why the media is where it is. But I think

94
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: the biggest thing was a guy like Zach Manner. You know,

95
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: I always say there's levels to this, right. Ben Roethelsberger

96
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: is probably a top five steeler of all time, James

97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: Harrison's probably like a top fifteen, maybe top twenty steeler

98
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 3: of all time. Joey Porter is probably not a top fifty,

99
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: so shut up. And Zach Manner doesn't even register anywhere

100
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: in the top one thousand. So I mean, why do

101
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 3: we care what he has to say?

102
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: Well, I think Cam Hayward is the big villain here

103
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: because he just sat there while Porter said what he said.

104
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: It did the Steelers no good. Whether Porter's right, wrong,

105
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: or indifferent. I thought he validated what Porter said and

106
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: pretty much you know, took those opinions on himself by

107
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: by again not not saying anything not editing it out

108
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: of the podcast, Paul. And if I'm the Steelers, I

109
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: say to Heyward, listen, this podcast is a distraction.

110
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: You got to shut it down.

111
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: Well, I remember.

112
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: When Ben Roethlisberger, did you know, his his weekly radio show,

113
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 3: the Steelers shutting that down because it's just every week was.

114
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: Something new, like you know what I mean, same thing

115
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: with Rodgers and McAfee. The Steelers very quietly shut that down,

116
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: and Rogers became a lot less unlikable. He became not

117
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: a weekly headline for saying something stupid.

118
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: Right, And I think the biggest thing is, like I

119
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: look at it from Cam Hayward perspective, and you've got

120
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: to look at it this way, Mark, because you're a

121
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: media guy and you've been in it a long time

122
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: and you know how things have changed and what is

123
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 3: value nowadays. I mean, I'm sure he got a big,

124
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: big number, you know, from these clips all going viral, right,

125
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot of people that didn't even know

126
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: Cam Hayward.

127
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: Had right, But does that translate to money? What tangible

128
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: does it do?

129
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 5: Paul?

130
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I'm just saying, if you're Cam Hayward,

131
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: you're probably at the end of your career, you're setting

132
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: yourself up for your next career as a podcaster, and

133
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: you know you're giving yourself a pump here. You know,

134
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: numbers are probably what he's worried about. But the thing

135
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: about it is, as you have pointed out, it also

136
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: looks like he basically is signing off on all this nonsense.

137
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: What's your take on Tyson versus Mayweather? In the Congo

138
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: of all places, one's fifty nine one forty eight, it'll

139
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: be laughable. But I think also pathetic, I mean, pathetic.

140
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: Is probably a very kind word that I would say

141
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: to this. I mean, I think I can't imagine Floyd

142
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: Mayweather needs money. I know he's a big gambler, so

143
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: maybe he does need money, and maybe that's part of

144
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: the problem is that he's just broke. Mike Tyson, I'm

145
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: sure needs money, you know what I mean? But why

146
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: would anybody want to see this? I don't get I

147
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: don't understand why anybody would have any interest at all

148
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: in this because it's just, basically, like you said, pathetic

149
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: money grab between two guys who you know are are

150
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: are are trying so hard to remain relevant that I

151
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: can I don't know, pay their bills or something. It's

152
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: it's I have no interest. I know the celebrity boxing matches.

153
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: For a while people were excited about him. I've never

154
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: had any interest in this nonset.

155
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you know who ruined boxing is Jake Paul.

156
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: He went from influencer to the most recognized box in

157
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: the world without even being a boxer. Everybody knows everything

158
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: about Jake Paul and what I think are semi worked fights.

159
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: But I can't name the heavyweight champion. I had to

160
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: google it.

161
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: I couldn't name. I couldn't name a single boxing champion

162
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 3: right now. If you ask me right now, said, hey,

163
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: name one guy who holds a belt in any significant

164
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: weight class with any of these significant you know, boxing organizations.

165
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: I couldn't name one. I just I have no interest

166
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: in it. I have no interest in it anymore. It

167
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 3: used to be one of my favorite sports. But you're right,

168
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: it's been ruined. Is it Jake Paul or Logan Paul?

169
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: That's dating that real hot speed skater from Mike Spinland.

170
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: I think that's Logan Paul. No, it is Jake Paul.

171
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Logan Paul's the w W wrestler.

172
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, Jake Paul, you know that that to me

173
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 3: is probably his greatest victory is that is that he

174
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: pulled that. He pulled that lady. I mean because you

175
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: know she see the kind that gets people to watch

176
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 3: Olympics and not because they care about speed skating.

177
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 5: Uh.

178
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: We were just debating with Mike de Corsi and with

179
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: Tom earlier in the show. I think in a fight

180
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: where each can do his thing, a wrestler beats a

181
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: boxer every time. I think Kurt Angle beats Mike Tyson,

182
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: both in their primes. I think if McGregor had been

183
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: allowed to do MMA, he would have devastated Mayweather a

184
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: couple of years back.

185
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: No, I agree, I mean I think I think a

186
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: guy like Kurt Angle, you know, I don't care who

187
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: he's fighting, what box er he's fighting, the boxer better

188
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: get the knockout blowing, you know, immediately, because if Jake Paul,

189
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: if he can get close to him, he takes I'm sorry,

190
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: if if Kurt Angle gets close to a boxer, it's over.

191
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: The box will be on his back and you know

192
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 3: Jake Paul will have him in some sort of submission

193
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: hold within you know, a minute, or two, just because

194
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: it's a different kind of fighting. I mean, and the

195
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: MMA guys they use their feet, they usually to that

196
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: use a lot of different things. I mean, I think

197
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 3: the bottom line is, and all of them actually have

198
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 3: some boxing skills, you know, not maybe as good as

199
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: a boxer, but you add it all together. I agree.

200
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: I know I'm betting on a guy that has the

201
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: ability to fight beyond just being a boxer.

202
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this at length in the weeks to come, Paul,

203
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: But how many wins you picking the powers to have?

204
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: Probably seventy eight, seventy nine somewhere around that neighborhood. I'm

205
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: still not sold that they're gonna go eighty one or

206
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: eighty two or eighty five wins. I know people are

207
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: getting excited about it, but you know, correct me if

208
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 3: I'm wrong, Mark, But they still have Hank Davis playing catcher.

209
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know that Brian Reynolds is going

210
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: to magically fight his form again. O'Neil Cruz is what

211
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: he is at this point in my mind, he's Gregory Boloko.

212
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 6: I don't know.

213
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: I mean, all these guys I'm supposed to get excited about,

214
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 3: I can give you as many questions about them as

215
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: you could give me answers and and and that includes

216
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: the pitching staff and brass and half Craft and and

217
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: and uh uh bub bubba Chandler and.

218
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: Uh Ashcraft and Chandler have like ninety innings pitched between

219
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: them in the major leagues, and they're being counted on

220
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: by the citizens to like be competent like number two

221
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: at number four starters now, I think they have the ability,

222
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: but we don't yet know.

223
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: And I keep hearing about Hunter Barco. I mean, how

224
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: much does he have?

225
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 7: You know? You know what I mean?

226
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 3: And and uh, it's just Muljinski is another guy they're

227
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: talking about being in their rotation. To me, I mean,

228
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: I think it could all work out, absolutely, But I

229
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: also would constant people to say, you know, there's a

230
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: whole lot of question marks that don't seem to have

231
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: a lot of answers right now that people are counting on.

232
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 3: And I think that is usually a recipe for being disappointed.

233
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: Paul, great stuff, as always, We'll do it next week, Mark.

234
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: I wanted to tell you one thing I heard you

235
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: right before I got on the reason that Tony Clark

236
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: had to resign is because his sister in law works

237
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: for MLBPA as well.

238
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: Well then that, yeah, I can't fire anybody because of convenience.

239
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: Paul, Good job, Paul. I'll talk to you next week.

240
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: We'll there.

241
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 2: That's Paul's I some mark man. Paul brought to us by.

243
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,240

00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: baby X at one oh five nine.

248
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Boy calls on the fifteen started out as something that was,

249
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: you know, drawn some rep partee between you and me,

250
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: but not lately. Maybe the show's done. I thought about that.

251
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: I think I might have stuck around a year too

252
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: too long. Well, you know what, even if that's true,

253
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: dun Hurt, the radio legend said to me, kid, listen,

254
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: when you suck, when it's all over, they won't notice

255
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: for five years.

256
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: Just get paid.

257
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: And here we are, Neil nil between Sweden and USA

258
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: halfway through the game. We'll talk about that with Tyler

259
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: Kennedy in just a little bit. I gotta play this

260
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: sound like, because it's really hilarious.

261
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: It's Stephen A.

262
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: Smith on ESPN doing a full blown caricature of himself

263
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: when talking about Tony Clark quitting as head of the

264
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: Baseball Union because he's banging his sister in law.

265
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 2: It's hilarious.

266
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 8: Tony Clark, Damn the damn. I mean, I mean, this

267
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 8: takes sibling robbery to a new level. I mean, really, somebody,

268
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 8: I gotta say it. Somebody gotta say, grown, damn man,

269
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 8: you grow damn man?

270
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: How do you less that like this happened?

271
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: You're fifty three years old. All the people out there,

272
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 2: assistant law really, damn damn y'all just don't you just

273
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: don't do okay, Damn the damn.

274
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, hilarious, the Tony Clark thing like Paul's

275
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: I said some light when he was on a little

276
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: Bit Ago where he pointed out that that Tony Clark's

277
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: sistern Law works under Tony Clark, no pun intended in

278
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: the Players Union office. That obviously figures into that, but

279
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: I didn't play that for the commentary on Tony Clark.

280
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: I played that just to hear Steven Smith do Steven

281
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: Smith at some point, Like I said, he becomes self caricature.

282
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: At some point he's imitating, Oh the US scored, imitating

283
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: and embellishing himself.

284
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: You're thousting and you're all of that. Eight three three

285
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: four one two w xd X.

286
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: I had a lot of baseball talk player for Todavid

287
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: Sid hurting his knee in the check you game, and

288
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: we still don't know the extent of the injury. Uh,

289
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: somebody I know connected to a prominent NHL agent. By

290
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: the way, it's not d Rizzo, my buddy from Greenfield

291
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: who works for Pat person That seems obvious, But I

292
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: didn't get it from Riz, because well, Sid is represented

293
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: by Pat and RIZ works with him, But that's not

294
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: who I got it from. I'm told that it looks

295
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: like a bad injury and could end sid season. Then again,

296
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: TK has supposedly said that, uh, he heard it's an MCL,

297
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: not as serious, and he might be back at some

298
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: point for the Penguin. So Tk's on. In a few moments,

299
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: we'll hear from him. One oh five nine the X Oh, wait,

300
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: bet boy, I don't even you know what you know

301
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: how you can tell when I don't feel like doing

302
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: the show, and I forget to do reads and ads.

303
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: I'm just so bummed about the sid thing. I don't

304
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: think Sweden's going to score this game.

305
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: The US is really penning them in and wearing them down,

306
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: which is easier said than done given Sweden's puck movement

307
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: among its defensemen. But YO, pick some winners and go

308
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: for gold while you watch the Winter Games. Bet on

309
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,040

347

Speaker 2: Tyler Kennedy TK.

348
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: Did you have a problem with the guddhas hit on

349
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: sid that Ben sids knee under or was it just awkward?

350
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 5: I think it was awkward. But with his history, I

351
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 5: always think he's when he hits, he hits to hurt.

352
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: You know, guys like that, Guys with history. You know,

353
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 5: I think of the guy that I played with, Matt Cook,

354
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 5: Matt Cook, when he hit, he hit to hurt. He

355
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 5: wasn't hitting just to hit. He was hitting to send

356
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 5: a message. And when you think of Guda when he

357
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 5: sees Sidney Crosby like he's hitting him as hard as

358
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 5: he could. Was it but was it dirty?

359
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 6: No?

360
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought he got him a little bit high.

361
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: I thought sid just fell awkwardly. I didn't like Pollits

362
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: hit earlier because it was a big hit away from

363
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: the puck. Obviously interference no call, But that's not the

364
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: hit that hurts.

365
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 5: Sid No, and you know, you know that the checks

366
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 5: were gonna come out, Like the only way to slow

367
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 5: down Canada is to be physical. Whenever you have a

368
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 5: team that could wheel a deal, you need to finish

369
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 5: your checks. Guys like McDavid, Guys like McKinnon. You need

370
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 5: to bump them to slow them down. And that's what

371
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 5: the checks did. They finished their checks early, late, it

372
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 5: didn't matter, and that's why I think give them a

373
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 5: pretty good chance to be Canada today.

374
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree with that.

375
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: It just kind of flummox is me that they seem

376
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: to target Sid more than McDavid.

377
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: Maybe they just can't catch McDavid.

378
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, and again, whenever it's crazy, but from all my

379
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 5: days of playing, you'll even if the second player was

380
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 5: very good, when a player had that Sean, that's who

381
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 5: you're going after. He is the head of the snake.

382
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 5: He's a guy that runs the team. That and everyone

383
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 5: knows Sids the leader on the team. And maybe that's

384
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 5: why he got hit a little bit more. And maybe

385
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 5: McDavid and other guys were moving faster get out of

386
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 5: the way. But again, it's hockey, mark and things like

387
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 5: that happen. It just sucks that it was sit because

388
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 5: I'm interesting to see how long he might be out

389
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 5: because from what I saw, it was like an mcl

390
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 5: where he you know, maybe stretched it or you know,

391
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 5: toward a little bit. I don't know, but that's kind

392
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 5: of the injuries you get when your kneego, when your

393
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 5: toe goes one way and your knee goes the other.

394
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 5: So I hope he's okay. I'll be very interested to

395
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 5: see if I don't think he'll be back. But if

396
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 5: this changes the outlook of the Penguins, if he's out

397
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 5: for an extended period of time with the trade the

398
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 5: deadline coming up, well, I.

399
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: Don't think it will tk because the deadline's on the sixth,

400
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: which isn't that far off, and they're not going to

401
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: be out of a playoff spot by then. They could

402
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: have lost a few games by them, but not enough

403
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: to to eliminate that cushion. I think, if anything, it

404
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: might keep them from getting anybody at all. But I

405
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: think mostly they'll stand Pat.

406
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 5: Well. I think if he's out for a long term

407
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 5: or on a long term reserve, I think they might

408
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 5: have some cat like they have some space to go

409
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 5: after a pretty high.

410
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: They ain't going nowhere with They're not going to do that.

411
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think it's not going to be a

412
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 5: guy who's a rental player though. I think it's a

413
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 5: guy that's going to be young that they have that

414
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 5: they might overpay, but they see a future in him.

415
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 5: That's young potential. Like not saying Robinson because I think

416
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 5: we've brought him up enough. But I think this does

417
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 5: add to the excitement of the deadline because you would

418
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 5: think they'd probably want to do something if Shiit is

419
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 5: out long term.

420
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: DKB.

421
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: We'll get back to the sind situation a moment. But

422
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm watching USA Sweden right now. I'm sure you are

423
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: too one nothing late in the second with US on

424
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: the power play, and it's a close game on the scoreboard.

425
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: But doesn't seem like Sweden can get any room out there,

426
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: does it.

427
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 5: No, the US, they're built as a checking team. They've

428
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 5: got some size, they got some speed. Billy Garren wanted

429
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,239
Speaker 5: four lines that role. He wanted role players, and when

430
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 5: you think about role players, they bump India. They don't

431
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 5: give you much. They play a smart game where if

432
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 5: you have a lot more high end skill guys, they're

433
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 5: willing to play a running gun. You give me a chance,

434
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 5: I'll give you a chance. Where the US is built

435
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 5: a little bit more with depth, with a little bit

436
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: more sandpaper. And those guys don't give your room. They

437
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 5: smother you. They on the pucks down low. And that's

438
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 5: how I feel like the US is playing right now.

439
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they I mean the shots are thirty to nineteen US,

440
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: but I think they're even more in control of the

441
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: game than that, and more than the one nothing score

442
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: would indicate that.

443
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 2: Said, it's a funny old game.

444
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: I like Sweden's puck movement on defense, but headman apparently

445
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: got hurt warm up, and I think the US is

446
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: doing a good job keeping Sweden from just getting the

447
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: puck got clean.

448
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a for check, right, it's the guys getting

449
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 5: the pucks deep. And again, guys like Carlson guys, they

450
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 5: don't like going back getting pucks when you have a

451
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 5: guy coming down on you. They want to have time

452
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 5: to wheel make plays when they when you chip pucks

453
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 5: in and or when you drive them wide. They don't

454
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 5: like that game. Those skilled moving defensemen, they want them

455
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 5: not an easy game, but they want a free wheeling game.

456
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 5: And right now the US isn't letting them do that.

457
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 5: They're they're chipping pucks, they're getting pucks deep, taking guys wide,

458
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 5: hanging on to it. The kuchuks their big bodies and

459
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 5: they use their their side to their advantage, like they know.

460
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 5: I'll talk about the kuchuks, but they know they're not

461
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 5: the most skilled guy. But how they win is with

462
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 5: their compete, with the ability to hang on to pocks

463
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 5: and that little bit of rattiness down low where it's

464
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 5: like it's just it sucks to be a skilled defenseman

465
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 5: playing against guys like that.

466
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: We're talking to Tyler Kennedy here on The Mark Man Show.

467
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: You can check TK out on Sports at Pittsburgh on

468
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: Penguin game nights.

469
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: TK.

470
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: If Sid's out, are the Penguin's done? Is there any

471
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: hope because you played in twenty ten to eleven when

472
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: both Sid and Gino were out long term and you

473
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: guys still made the playoffs.

474
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would think it'd be very hard for them

475
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 5: to make a push to stay in playoff contention, to

476
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 5: just to make a final push because he, again, he

477
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 5: bring such a leadership to the room, and when those

478
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 5: two guys got out of the playoffs when they when

479
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 5: they left in those two years, we had a lot

480
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 5: of leadership throughout the lineup, Guys that have won before,

481
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 5: guys that have been around the league, and I think

482
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 5: that helped us a lot. And another thing that helped

483
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 5: us Mark, No one thought we were going to be

484
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 5: like even close to being good with Melcon and Sid out.

485
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 5: Everyone kind of thought they'd roll over us with the

486
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 5: two headed monster out. And I think we surprised a

487
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 5: lot of team by just playing the right way, Like

488
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 5: we didn't give up much. We all work teams like

489
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 5: Dan Pattis playing the right way and that was hard

490
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 5: for teams to adjust to. They weren't ready for. And

491
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 5: before you know we were in playoffs taking on Tampa

492
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 5: and giving them a go. But for this year, for

493
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 5: the Penguins, I think having guys like Sid out of

494
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 5: the lineup, it's gonna be hard to replace them, hard

495
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 5: to not steal his loss. And how tight the standings are,

496
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 5: you need everyone rolling, you need Sid there, So it's

497
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 5: gonna be top in my opinion, t K.

498
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: Is it worth it for NHL players to play in

499
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: the Olympics the risk because this screws the Penguins, the

500
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: entire organization. There's a financial component, and I don't think

501
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: that that Sid playing for Canon has any benefit at

502
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: all to the Penguins.

503
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's such a tough question because when you think

504
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 5: of players, one of the best things a player can

505
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 5: ever do is put on a jersey for their country.

506
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 5: It's the most proud moment as a hockey player. I

507
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 5: think maybe more than putting on an NHL jersey. I

508
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 5: think winning the Stanley Cup is harder to do, but

509
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 5: putting on your country's jersey and playing for your country

510
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 5: in front of you know, a million TVs. It's such

511
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 5: a special feeling. But it is not good for the NHL.

512
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 5: It's not good for the players there. Like I feel

513
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 5: those games are so hard on players. It is so

514
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 5: hard for them to come back to their team and

515
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 5: get back rolling for the last two and a half

516
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 5: months of the year. I think it's definitely not good.

517
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 5: And then if you the risk of guys getting hurt,

518
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 5: but I don't think you'll I don't think you'll ever

519
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 5: get guys to stop playing for their country just because

520
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 5: of how prideful.

521
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: But well, no, no, the guys are always going to

522
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: want to play TK. But but the NHL prevented it

523
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: in eighteen and twenty two, and you know, nobody died,

524
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: hockey still went on. I don't know, I mean like,

525
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: and I understand, especially with Sid who's done so well

526
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: for Canada. Six international gold medal has been all I

527
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: know is now the Penguins are screwed and that's all

528
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: Penguin fans are going to know.

529
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 2: And the Penguins pace it.

530
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that is that's probably gonna come up in

531
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 5: the you know, the CBA in talks summer because again,

532
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 5: it doesn't benefit any of the NHL teams and any

533
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 5: way whatsoever. And that's not that's not a good business move.

534
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 5: And we all know guys that you know, the owners

535
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 5: that own these teams, they run it like a business.

536
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 5: It's it's they're trying to make money. And when your

537
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 5: star loses, you lose your star because of a tournament

538
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 5: that they get no money from. It's gonna come on

539
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 5: the table and there's gonna be added discussions and that's

540
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 5: gonna be and very interesting topic because I know the

541
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 5: players are gonna play, want to play, and I know

542
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 5: the owners are gonna try to make something happen where

543
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 5: they might not want to play or there's gonna be

544
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 5: something in it for them either they got to play

545
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 5: their their team to play or something. Because it is

546
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 5: it is sad when you see a guy like Sid

547
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 5: go down and then you think of the team and

548
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 5: like it literally like for all the momentum, the Penguins

549
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 5: had and then you see that happen and we don't

550
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 5: know how long it can be Like that is very frustrating,

551
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 5: and you know, you see the guys over there, all

552
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 5: the guys playing, and then you go on like Instagram

553
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 5: and you see the guys, like the Russian guys that

554
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 5: are in like Dubai on boats and relaxing and recharging

555
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 5: their batteries, and it's like, how does this make sense?

556
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 5: Like how does Oveskan get to go on a week

557
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 5: and a half Dubai trip, rest up completely, get hockey

558
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 5: out of his mind and come back refresh where a

559
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 5: guy like McDavid said, they just went through almost they

560
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 5: just went through like a Stanley Cup final atmosphere with

561
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 5: so much emotion and then they let go of that emotion.

562
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 4: It is.

563
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 5: It's pretty crazy because I almost feel like it's it's

564
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 5: unfair to be honest, but I was never considered on

565
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 5: the Olympics, so I was like, we should have more

566
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 5: time off because I get to sit on the beach

567
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: a little bit longer.

568
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: But well, what I really liked the Marner's goal.

569
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: To me, that was one good takeaway because it wasn't

570
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,719
Speaker 1: a typical three on three overtime goal. He didn't backtrack,

571
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: he didn't weave into the into the neutral zone.

572
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: He made a play against three guys. I'd like to

573
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: see more of that.

574
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 5: Yeah in the way, and I don't know if they

575
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 5: weren't expecting him to go through the three guys or

576
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 5: like you know, it seems like everyone's expecting that like

577
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 5: slingshot play where one guy comes up, a guy like

578
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 5: McDavid or those guys just come with a barrel of

579
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 5: speed and try to go through everyone. It just seemed

580
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 5: like he picked up the pocket and their kind of

581
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 5: in between and he'd beat three players by just those

582
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 5: quick little sticking up for two and taking a guy

583
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 5: wide and again it was a great backhand shot over

584
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 5: the glove that I think is surprised the goalie. I

585
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 5: think it's surprised even Marner. But that's what you need.

586
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 5: You need guys death guys to score big goals if

587
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 5: you want to keep moving on. It can't just rely

588
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 5: on McDavid McKinnon like the Stars. You need the depth

589
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 5: scoring and Canas seems like they have a lot of it.

590
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: I gotta give Bennington credit to I don't think he's

591
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: a very top goalie, but there's something about him on

592
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: big stages that brings out the best and he made

593
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: a couple tournament saving stops today.

594
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, I think that was a big

595
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 5: question mark for Canada was is he going to be

596
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 5: the starter? Is he going to make those big saves

597
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 5: when you need them? And for the last you know,

598
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 5: the Four Nations him going to the Stanley Cup final

599
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 5: even this year, Like, that's what a good goalie does.

600
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 5: That's what a win, like a winner does. He steps

601
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 5: up in the big stages and that's what makes them

602
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 5: such a That's what makes him a Stanley Cup winner

603
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 5: and could be an Olympic gold medal winner. It could

604
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 5: already had him in a Four Nations winner. That's when

605
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 5: you can play in those big moments because there's a

606
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 5: lot of goalies Mark that just can't do it that

607
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 5: that that fold under the pressure because that's such a

608
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 5: pressure filled position and you have no one if you

609
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 5: screw up. So him being able to put that pressure

610
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 5: aside and give Canada those momentum stops where it could

611
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 5: have swung the other way very quickly. Like John Cooper

612
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 5: is a guy, that's why that could be why in

613
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 5: one of the big reasons why he's such a great coach.

614
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 5: He sees and he puts the right guys on the

615
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 5: ice at the right time. Like I think that John

616
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 5: Cooper is a phenomenal coach just from the trust he

617
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 5: puts in the guys he knows that are going to

618
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 5: step up, including Binghamton.

619
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:49,880

00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: Was it Eric's Panties?

648
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: Where they find panties in Eric's car and Donna suspects

649
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 1: the worst. For a minute, it looks like Eric banged

650
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: uh Donna's mom because they're Midge's panties, but it turned

651
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: out her and Bob were fooling around in the back seat. Uh,

652
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: just the jokes from there Kelso and Fez when they

653
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: think Eric banged Midge that that's the best one.

654
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: What's yours?

655
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: I would say? The Ice Shack?

656
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: Now?

657
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 5: Is that?

658
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: Is that?

659
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 6: No?

660
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 2: There were two Ice Shack episodes.

661
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: One Kitty and Rad were in the Ice Shack, another

662
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: the gang went there and Kelso's van sunk in the lake?

663
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: Is that the one that the gang?

664
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

665
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, when they did the trivia game and uh yeah.

666
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: That that that was That was very good.

667
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: And I think the final line of the episode was Fez,

668
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: who had been rebuffed by Jackie earlier. Jackie doesn't have

669
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: a code on and she goes, Fez, I'm cold, and

670
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: he goes quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a

671
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: rats ass.

672
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to Tony.

673
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 4: Heymark, well, thanks for taking my call. Who would you

674
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 4: make the camptain now the Canadian team?

675
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 6: And do you think they should call it?

676
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 4: Connor Bedard?

677
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 2: Sid Sid's They can't call anybody up.

678
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: They have guys who aren't dressed that can fill in,

679
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna usurp Sid's captaincy.

680
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 2: Why is that?

681
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: Why is that something you'd want them to do? It's

682
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: not Sid, Sid's still the captain. What they got altered

683
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: at captains. The captain cy in in international sports, including

684
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: for soccer, doesn't mean that much because every guy on

685
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 1: a team like as a leader with his own team.

686
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: So you're talking just just something that's not important.

687
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: Let's go to a talkback, Hey, Mark, what are the

688
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: chances the Penguins sign Malcolm for next year? I don't

689
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: think they should, but I think they will. Sid's gonna

690
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: want him to stay and they'll do it. I think

691
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: you should move on like the Pirates did with McCutcheon.

692
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: Now Malkins had a great season, Let's see if the

693
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: season says great after the Olympic break and now he's

694
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: had some time, you know, to recharge his batteries to

695
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: be sure. But what if Sid's got can Malkin pick

696
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: up the extra load? Can you even fairly ask him

697
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: to do that? At age thirty nine?

698
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: I don't know us on the doorstep again.

699
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 4: Let's go to a talkback, Mark, would you agree that

700
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 4: the Summer Olympics are more entertaining but the Winter Olympics

701
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 4: take more courage?

702
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: What do you mean more courage? You want to ask

703
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: a question like that? Call to explain. I don't leave

704
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: a talkback. I enjoyed the Winner Olympics more because of

705
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: hockey period. I very rarely watch the Summer Olympics unless

706
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: I think the USA men's basketball team might lose because

707
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: they are a bunch of dinks.

708
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 2: Lay's line open at eight.

709
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: Three three four one two wxdx eight three three four

710
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: one two wxdx.

711
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 2: Let's go to a talkback.

712
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 4: Mark.

713
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: With all this Sweden talk got me thinking wasn't it

714
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 3: Swedish porn that saved your life when you were a mom?

715
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 2: They do make a fine f film. Let's go to

716
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 2: a talkback.

717
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 4: Hey, super genius Eric in Toledo. A couple days ago,

718
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 4: you mentioned you were at an event where you saw

719
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 4: Tom Cruise. He was right in front of you or something.

720
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: I'm curious did you ever get actually a chance to

721
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 4: meet him?

722
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 6: If so, what was he like?

723
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 5: If not, I know you said he was really short.

724
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 2: Did not meet him. He was several rows in front

725
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 2: of us.

726
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: I was in a wrestling match, excuse me, a boxing

727
00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: match at Tyson Fight with several wrestlers I've seen. Kul

728
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: Cogan was there, he got the tickets. And Scott Hall

729
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: was there, my late friend. And Scott yelled, hey, is

730
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: that Tom Cruise? And Tom Cruise turned around and waved

731
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: and Scott yells, my god, he's so short or something

732
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: like that, and and Cruise just kind of kind of

733
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: ducked his head. He was pretty small, though. Let's go

734
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: to Rick Rick You're on with doublem.

735
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 4: Hey Martin, just Joey Porter, Roethlisberger saying isn't there seemed

736
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 4: to most of the time like an off, like two

737
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 4: different armies within the locker room that like most of

738
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 4: the time, the offense doesn't really get too close to

739
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 4: the defense, and there's an offensive leader and a defensive leader.

740
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 4: Does anybody really addressed that, like you know that.

741
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: I don't think Ben was very well liked.

742
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the star White quarterbacks Jobby wiked in

743
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: most NFL locker rooms, as evidenced by the fact that

744
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: Ben had a Hall of Fame career and won two

745
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowls and got to a third, and he was

746
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: only elected by his teammates as team MVP once. Okay,

747
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: So so I'm not sure Ben was that well liked

748
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: in the locker room. But for Porter to bring it

749
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 1: up all these years later and to and to bring

750
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: like Tahoe and Millergeville back into focus because that was

751
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 1: in every story written about what Porter said, because Porter

752
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: said the Steelers covered up for him, that was just

753
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: a nasty, ill tempered thing for Porter to do.

754
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, one mole another thing. I mean, like

755
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 4: I don't know what you've talked about it today, but

756
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 4: I mean the Zach banner saying where does he even

757
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 4: come off on with any you know, with any credit

758
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 4: at all.

759
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, And he said, Joe, he said,

760
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 2: James Harrison should shut up.

761
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: James Harrison did more with one play, that hundred yard

762
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: interception return, than Zach Banner did in this whole, big

763
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: fat Steeler career. Actually it wasn't that big in fat,

764
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: but he was.

765
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 5: Thanks, thank you.

766
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: Let's go to Josh. Josh ask Mark anything?

767
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:55,879

Speaker 2: All right?

Speaker 6: Calling to talk a little bit of hockey with you.

771
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 6: Obviously we've off the Olympics going on. I know, obviously,

772
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh guys, we support our captain, We love Sid, but uh,

773
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 6: how do you feel if he goes down? Are you

774
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 6: gonna shift your allegiance to the boys in red, white

775
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 6: and blue?

776
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 5: Or No?

777
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: I just, I just I just don't won't care that much,

778
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 1: although I'd like to see Vince Trocheck in particular and JT.

779
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: Miller the Pittsburgh guys winning gold medal of Sid. Can't

780
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: you know I'm not a hypocrite. I was rooting for

781
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: Canada all this way. I'll probably just become less interested

782
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: in the result. I'll still keep watching, though. See I'm

783
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: a big believer, brov And see if you agree with this,

784
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to have a rooting interest

785
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: in everything.

786
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: I just don't. I root for two teams period.

787
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: I rooted for Liverpool and the Penguins, and everything else

788
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: is very peripheral.

789
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: And the only reason I'm rooting for Canada.

790
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: Is because of Sid because he's the captain of the Penguins,

791
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: because I know him.

792
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, that valid and du cane basketball. You could throw

793
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 6: you could throw the No, really not.

794
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: Really, I don't care. I never go.

795
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: I mean it's easy to go to I could get

796
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: a media pass. I know tickets are readily available. If

797
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: I care, i'd go, but I don't.

798
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 6: There you go, Well again, we again hope the best

799
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 6: for said. We hope he's absolutely the rest of our

800
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 6: season here in Pittsburgh and you know the best of

801
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 6: him and the rest of the way out.

802
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: Thank you for the call.

803
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: Spensk on the power play, where's Carl? Carl's not out

804
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: there in the power play?

805
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

806
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: These guys just don't want to win. How about the

807
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: one Carl's not out there on the power play?

808
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 2: What the friggin frig by the way today one of

809
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 2: the check goals? This is hilarious.

810
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: They scored it with six guys on the I six

811
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: skaters and the goalie. Actually, that's unbelievable, isn't it. I mean,

812
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: not like a bad change. Six guys were out there playing.

813
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: There were six guys in the defensive zone for a while.

814
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: They were playing for an extended period with six guys,

815
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: scored with six guys, and nobody caught it. When you

816
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: look after, when you look at the sally afterwards, they're

817
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: six guys celebrating. It's incredible.

818
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: How in the blue heck can you miss that? But

819
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: they did.

820
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 3: Mhm
