I think if we 81 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 4: were a video show first, because there are some podcasts 82 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 4: quote unquote out there that are way more like they're 83 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 4: consumed as a video. 84 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: Show and that only you know what I mean. 85 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 4: So we knew that our core audience has always been 86 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 4: audio first, because that's how the podcast is born, that's 87 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 4: how we started it.

A lot of times teams 177 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: just become crappy. 178 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you're you're right on that. I actually was 179 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 4: trying to push back a little bit, but it was 180 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 4: a funny like angle that he took. But yeah, I 181 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 4: mean I said too. The real story is like the 182 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 4: Steelers are just consistently never bad. 183 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: That's that's more. 184 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 4: The reason why they keep doing this is like year 185 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 4: in year out, it's they're they're putting out a team 186 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 4: that is never, like truly truly bad. Because if you 187 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 4: had like a two win season mixed in there, you 188 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 4: wouldn't you wouldn't be you wouldn't have kept the streak alive. 189 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 4: But I do like the idea that it's some type 190 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 4: of deep state. We got to pop up the Steelers 191 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 4: and keep them winning these Monday games. Now, are you guys, 192 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 4: because Aaron Rodgers looks back like the last. 193 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 2: Two weeks, he's looked awesome. 194 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 4: Are you guys thinking like if this, if this theory 195 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 4: by pf T is true, they have to put the 196 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 4: Steelers on the wild card weekend Monday Night Football so 197 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 4: that you guys can finally break the streak and. 198 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 2: And win a playoff game. 199 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 4: That that's gonna happen, right because you. 200 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: Know, because that's when my conspiracy comes in. The league 201 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 3: is working against the Steelers to win a postseason game, 202 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 3: and knowing they dominate on Monday nights, they'll put them 203 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: on Saturday afternoon where they stink. 204 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 2: Ah. 205 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 4: Okay, And by the way, this is all we should 206 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 4: We should just point out all of this by PFT 207 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 4: comes from a place of he He wants people to 208 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 4: remember that the Commanders beat the eleven and zero Steelers 209 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 4: during the COVID season and that game was technically played 210 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 4: on Monday after So he wants that on the record. 211 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 4: That's really where this all comes from. 212 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: Okay, and again, legitimate beef, there no question about it. Yes, 213 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: but we have so little to celebrate right now. At 214 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 3: least let us keep our meaningless streaks. 215 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I love the streak, the streak. I was there 216 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 4: for part of the streak. I was there for the 217 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 4: Bears Steelers game like three years ago, and I think 218 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 4: I said at that moment, oh my god, Justin Field 219 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 4: is the guy. 220 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: This is gonna be awesome. That was stupid. 221 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, that really feels dumb in retract, But yeah, I've 222 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 4: been there for the streak. Listen the Monday Night Football. 223 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 2: It's a great scene. 224 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 4: I also this one particularly like it's one of my 225 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 4: most meatball takes. But it's so true and I keep 226 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 4: winning on it. The Dolphins' uniforms will never be good 227 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 4: in the cold. Mike McDaniel cannot play in the cold. 228 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 4: That team plays in any type of cold, and it's 229 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 4: just over no matter what. So I've just been fading 230 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 4: the Dolphins anytime it's under forty agrees and I win 231 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 4: every single post. 232 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 5: Yeah. 233 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 3: I mean, it was an abysmal effort into what is 234 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 3: finally done, and it looks like they're gonna eat all 235 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 3: that money going forward. But that's a mess I don't 236 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: even want to delve into. I want to ask you 237 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 3: about Joe Burrow's comments. He sounded to me like a 238 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 3: guy who just like started talking to his wife and 239 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 3: he's like thinking about another woman, and she's like, are 240 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 3: you thinking of straying? And he was like, you think 241 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: a lot of things, yeah, yeah, right, and then and 242 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 3: then she's like, present wait a minute, are you saying 243 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 3: that you want to leave me? He's like, no, that's 244 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 3: not really what I'm saying here. So I can't make 245 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: sense of what he's doing. If this is the start 246 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: of a play to get out of Cincinnati or a 247 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 3: start of his move to get out of football. 248 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 4: I don't think it's out of football. I feel like 249 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow, he's kind of stuck. 250 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 2: So it's it's a similar time timeline. 251 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 4: Is Carson Palmer right, Like Carson Palmer was eight years 252 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 4: in and was like, I can't do this anymore. So 253 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 4: the difference being that Joe Burrow obviously is from the 254 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 4: state of Ohio, from not too far away. The fans 255 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 4: love him, so I don't know if he's trying to 256 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 4: retire from football or if he's trying. 257 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 2: To you know. 258 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 4: I think if you do the relationship analogy, it's more 259 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 4: along the lines of when you, you know, maybe don't text 260 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 4: back all the time and you give a little bit 261 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 4: of the cold shoulder of your girlfriend and you're like, 262 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 4: I don't I'm too much of a whim to break 263 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 4: up with her. But I'm just hoping that if I don't, 264 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 4: if I don't pay any attention to her, she'll break. 265 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: Up with me first. 266 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 4: I think that's what he's maybe he's trying to do, like, yeah, hey, look, 267 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 4: maybe the Bengals will try to trade me because I'm 268 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 4: clearly not so happy. But I'm not asking for a trade. 269 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: No, no, exactly, he's doing the Ben like Ben affleck. Yeah, 270 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 3: he did that with every relationship. 271 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 5: He admitted. 272 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, I act like a jerk, and I 273 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: tried to get them to break up with me and 274 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 3: usually works. 275 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 4: Sure, that's some really mature stuff. 276 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: All right. 277 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about the Bears fan who 278 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: is eating spaghetti out of a huge ziplock bag and 279 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: your thoughts on whether that's an appropriate bring your own 280 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 3: meal or if that breaches some sort of football menu 281 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 3: guidelines that we all need to adhere too. 282 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: No, I love it. I love it, love it, love it. 283 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 4: Did you see that they had it for multiple games 284 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 4: and they and they date the games like on the 285 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 4: ziplock bag. So it's like they do it. They have 286 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 4: like a little tradition and it's said like they showed 287 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 4: other bags. It was like, you know ten twenty seven Bears, 288 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 4: you know Saints and Bears. So I love these guys. 289 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 3: They eat spaghetti out of a big ziplock bag. To 290 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 3: be clear, they're eating spaghetti. 291 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 2: Get it. 292 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 4: I think I think that's why it works. I think 293 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 4: because it is so ridiculous, it works any other food. 294 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 2: I knew a guy wants to who would uh. 295 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 4: He would go out to the bar and he would 296 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 4: just he would put like sausages and hot dogs in 297 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 4: his ziplock bag and he would just walk around with 298 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 4: some like in case meets and Casey got hungry. So 299 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 4: and it was ridiculous, but it was so funny. And 300 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 4: I think the spaghetti if it was just like a 301 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 4: regular I don't even know what what else would be 302 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 4: like they probably like a sandwich in or something. Everyone 303 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 4: be like, all right, cool whatever that means. The fact 304 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 4: that it's spaghetti and meatballs. 305 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: Is so funny that I think it plays. I love 306 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: these guys. 307 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 3: The playoffs this year, no Patrick Mahomes, no Joe Burrow 308 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 3: in the AFC. A lot of the faces you're used 309 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 3: to seeing is the NFL Playoffs? Are they better or worse? 310 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 3: For that? 311 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 4: I think they're better. I think they're better. I think 312 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 4: this is an exciting year where it's like this is 313 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 4: not the thing is, You're not gonna have like a 314 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 4: true passing of the torch. I think that's what kind 315 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 4: of makes it exciting, where it's. 316 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 2: Not like Patrick Mahomes is done. It's not like Joe 317 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: Burrow's done. 318 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 4: But we have a year where you have some young 319 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 4: guys getting a shot, and then next year it's like, 320 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 4: can the old guys come back? 321 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: So I'm I'm in for it.

Ask for 402 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 3: a yingling, traditional lagger, yingling, dv E Sports Mike Persida 403 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 3: with your sports right now on the DV morning show. 404 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 6: Sports us Up, brought to you by Bridgeville appliance to 405 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 6: the Steelers offensive resurgence continued against Miami thanks to no 406 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 6: small part to the steel City Shove that played. The 407 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 6: Steelers are embracing, if not loving. Here's Aaron Rodgers. 408 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 7: Well, we've been pretty good at it. You know, Connor's 409 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 7: in a nice job at it. We had a wrinkle, 410 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 7: you know, giving the ball to Kenny in Chicago. That 411 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,479 Speaker 7: was a fifty yard game. It's not a play that 412 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 7: anybody really likes something across the league. There's been some 413 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 7: talk about trying to get it out of the league. 414 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 7: I think there's a way to maybe find a happy 415 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 7: medium with some of the splits and stuff. But the 416 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 7: way the rules are now, it's been a play that 417 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 7: we've had success with. So Mike likes it, Arthur likes it, 418 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 7: and obviously Connor likes it too. 419 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: So get used to it. 420 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 6: And Rogers, by the way, has no problem with his role, 421 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 6: and his role is going to continue out of the 422 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 6: stand back and observe and then gesture emphatically. That's been 423 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 6: criticized by some, but those criticisms are misguided. 424 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 7: It's not a ten on eleven play. I've seen that 425 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 7: places where oh it's ten on eleven with the quarterback 426 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 7: going back there, just standing. 427 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 5: With his hands on his hips. 428 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 7: There's a lot of guys who aren't involved in that play, 429 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 7: usually a deep safety, and the guys on the edges 430 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 7: had absolute zero impact on the play. So as long 431 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 7: as we're going to keep sneaking it, I'm gonna keep 432 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 7: standing back there, police signaling first down. 433 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 3: Difference beings that he could be a part of that 434 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 3: play the other guys can't. He could be a person 435 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 3: who's pushing the pusher of the tush, a second pusher. 436 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 2: That is. 437 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 6: The last thing you want him doing, getting in a 438 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 6: massive bodies and getting stepped on and falling on. 439 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 3: And which is why you put Johnny Smith back there. 440 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: Get him as far away from that as you possibly can. 441 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 3: Well, I just want him to strike a different pose 442 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 3: than the three amigos. It fits him, don't you think 443 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 3: the turning coffee. I mean it, it's weird, it's funny looking, 444 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 3: it was cool the first time. I don't know a 445 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 3: little bit while I'm over the toush push. I hate 446 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 3: the whole thing. 447 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: That I can't stand it. 448 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 6: If I wanted to watch rugby, I'd moved to frigging England. 449 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 3: There you go? 450 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: Is that what they played? Rugby? 451 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 5: Sure? 452 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 3: You know the thing that I always like my reaction 453 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: to the Steel City City shove or Pittsburgh plunge, whichever 454 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 3: you prober. 455 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 8: That doesn't work, that's right. Yeah, we're not plunging into anything. 456 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,479 Speaker 8: No pushing forward. That's what they call the kolonoscopy clinic. 457 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 8: But when they do it, every time they come out, 458 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 8: I'm like, oh not again. In my brain, it has 459 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 8: a very low success rate. In reality, it's been incredibly 460 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 8: successful for the Steelers, but. 461 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 3: For some reason, when I see it, I think, no, 462 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 3: don't do that. Like I just don't think it looks 463 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 3: good when they do it. But the success rate you 464 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 3: can't argue with. 465 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, and they seem to be getting better at it. 466 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 6: I mean the way they do it that stands to reason. 467 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 2: Uh. 468 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 6: You know, if you want to play ball control, you 469 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 6: got to pick up third and one, fourth and one. 470 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 3: Can they instead of using Cam Heyward, use Calvin Austin 471 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 3: and then have Mount Washington pick him up and hurl 472 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 3: him over the line. 473 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,959 Speaker 1: I don't think that's allowed. 474 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 3: I had wondered that why not? What's the difference. 475 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 6: I don't think you'll have to throw a guy who 476 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 6: says you might you might be honest something I don't know. 477 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 3: I know you, and I don't mean like, you know, 478 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 3: like over his head and like Andre the Giant, I 479 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 3: mean like collar belt he whoa you know, and like 480 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 3: just chuckle, get thrown out of a bar. 481 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 6: Yes, I'll do some investigating see if that's an option. 482 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 6: Kenny Gainwell is also a guy who you might say 483 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 6: is enjoying avers surgency. 484 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: Was a big player in Philly. 485 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 6: The Miami game last Sunday, the latest example of the 486 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 6: impact Gamewell has had on the Steelers offense. It's been 487 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 6: kind of a revelation to see what he can do 488 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 6: now that Gamewell has stepped out of Saquon Barkley's massive 489 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 6: shadow in Philly. But Gainwell credits what he's achieving to 490 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 6: his new quarterback more than his expanded role. 491 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 9: I mean, Aaron Rodgers, you know, him trusting me my hands, 492 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 9: you know, he just doing the small things and just 493 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 9: went out there and working. I think he just just 494 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 9: shows the character of him, you know, being the guy 495 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 9: he is, and he's just understanding the game. 496 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 2: You know. 497 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 6: It's fascinating to me that they had Russell Wilson last year, 498 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 6: Who's a guy that had won the Super. 499 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 3: Bowl ten years ago. You know, I literally block it 500 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 3: out when I talk about last year. I'm like last 501 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 3: year when Mason took us to the playoffs, it's like 502 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 3: a COVID year for me. Didn't exist, Been there, done 503 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 3: that guy. 504 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 6: And yet Rogers, who has won as many Super Bowls 505 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 6: as Russ, seems like a completely different component that they 506 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 6: have gone for him this year. And I think, you know, 507 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 6: I think Russ's game was starting at the tear rate 508 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 6: by this time last year. I think everybody had had 509 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 6: enough of the toxic positivity, positivity leadership, and it's just 510 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 6: a different vibe this year. 511 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: With Aaron Rodgers, I don't think there's anybody. 512 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 6: He's a way better player that knows whether a football 513 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 6: is blown up or stuff. Would compare Russell Wilson to 514 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers and say, yeah, they're pretty much the same. 515 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 3: Guy, way better player. Russ peaked long ago and is 516 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 3: he was in panic mode with the Steelers this last year. 517 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 6: And I was also having a discussion about Russell with 518 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 6: one of the other media guys yesterday and it wasn't. 519 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 6: This guy was insisting that Russell wasn't fake. You know 520 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 6: that that day Everything's great name everybody and all that. 521 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 6: He insisted that that's who Russell Wilson was. And I 522 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,959 Speaker 6: will concede that point, but it wore people out, and 523 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 6: it just it wasn't something that anybody was going to 524 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 6: a rally around by December. If I summed up Russell's 525 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 6: tenure in Pittsburgh, it wouldn't be the moon balls. It 526 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 6: would be the fumble in Baltimore when they could have 527 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 6: won the division, and then. 528 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 3: Running on and he tried to do too much, running up. 529 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 6: To Cam Hayward after he totally butchered against Cincinnati in 530 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 6: which they needed to maybe get twenty five yards to 531 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 6: get Boswell a position to win the game. And then 532 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 6: he went up to Cam Hayward and started giving him 533 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 6: a pep talk. Yeah, and Cam just didn't want to 534 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 6: hear it and just kept walking. That's kind of where 535 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 6: they were last year. This year, like, hey we got 536 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 6: Anion Rodgers, stuff might happen. 537 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 3: So that game, Cam Hayward played with like one hundred 538 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 3: and two degree fever and played his ass off, and 539 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson just burped up the game, just gave them 540 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 3: no chance to win at the end, even though the 541 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 3: defense set them up to win the game. And then 542 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 3: he immediately his reaction is to sprint over to Cam Heyward, Hey, hey, hey, hey, 543 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 3: don't get mad, don't get mad. We're gonna win, all right, 544 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 3: big daddy, We're gonna win. Yeah. Yeah, And he won't 545 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 3: even look at him because he wants to kill him. 546 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 6: I'm puking and it's not because I have one hundred 547 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 6: and two degree fever. 548 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, guy just like busted his ass playing through a fever. 549 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 3: Gave you a chance to win, and you completely screwed 550 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 3: it up completely. Not the time to go over and 551 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 3: rally the troops. No, yeah, we're behind you. 552 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 2: You know. 553 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 6: It's like if it gets screened the room, and it might, 554 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 6: I don't think it's going to be because of the quarterback. 555 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 3: I think we all know that. I think we all 556 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 3: know that. No, who's gonna screw it up to something? 557 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 3: I think defensively is the problem. And injuries right now, 558 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 3: that's the real big issue. Guy Junker Away in on 559 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 3: that and more when we come back on The d 560 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 3: Morning Show and. 561 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 10: Mister Smalls presents a benefit concert for the Rainbow Kitchen 562 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 10: to feed the Bird this Friday, but mister Small Theater, 563 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 10: this all ages show will feature the best in local 564 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 10: Pittsburgh musl like Joe Raschecky, Bill Deese, Jeane the Werewolf, 565 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 10: Tiny Warves, Clinton cleg of the Common Heeart, Kelsey Barber, 566 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 10: Sun King Warriors, Liz Berlin, Jen Wurtz, Hondre Costello, Cheed Benson, 567 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 10: Addie Twitch and Caledonia and Morgan Arena.

So the UH 582 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 3: Steelers this past Monday night, there were a lot of people, 583 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 3: myself included, wondering, oh god, will they blow this game? 584 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: Will they will? They bowed down and you know, play 585 00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 3: down to this Dolphins team that's on a bit of 586 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 3: a winning streak that seems to be propped up by 587 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 3: having played bad teams? Are we destined to see it? 588 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 3: Just a crappy football game in fridgid temperatures, And to 589 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 3: their credit, they did what they should have done. They 590 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 3: easily handled the Miami Dolphins. 591 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, and we talked last week about the things going 592 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 11: against the Dolphins. Not only was their four game winning streak, 593 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 11: in my mind not that impressive, although when they played 594 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 11: the Bears, the Bears hadn't really beat anybody and they 595 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 11: beat them. And also, you know the lousy record of 596 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 11: Toua and the team in general when they played games 597 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 11: that are in cold weather. So but I think that 598 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 11: was one of the more impressive things, not that they 599 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 11: won the game. That you know, they got those couple 600 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 11: of garbage touchdowns. There were a few guys in there 601 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 11: playing late in the game that you hardly ever see 602 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 11: the field, So I thought that was one of the 603 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 11: more impressive things that they kept the you know, the 604 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 11: foot on the gas and soundly beat them to the 605 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 11: point where I bet Chris Callin got called into the 606 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 11: office for saying, well for the audience that's still watching 607 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 11: at one point, you know, say something like that on 608 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 11: the air without getting called into the eight. 609 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 5: That I mean Troy Aikman, Yeah. 610 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 3: I like a man man. He's he's stopped giving an 611 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 3: f about anything. He'll argue with the rules analysts. He'll 612 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 3: tell you you crushing McDaniel for the way he handled 613 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. 614 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 6: Coinsworth conversely, would have been talking about Patrick Mahomes during 615 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 6: to steal his Dolphins. 616 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:29,239 Speaker 5: You know, that was one of the surprises though about that. 617 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 5: You know, like. 618 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 11: John Madden talking about Brett Fariball at the time, no 619 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 11: matter who was like it. 620 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 5: So, but one of the surprises to. 621 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 11: Me was the lack of You would have thought the 622 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 11: Dolphins their season is ending if they lose, they're on 623 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 11: a four game winning streak. Would have been playing in 624 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,239 Speaker 11: the fourth quarter with their hair on fire, and they 625 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 11: were like, let's just get this over with. And I 626 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 11: didn't think they made good use of the clock at all. 627 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 11: Uh Yeah, I thought it was a very strange approach 628 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 11: by them. Maybe you know, they just felt they were 629 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 11: soundly beaten and they weren't going to change it. 630 00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 5: But that seemed kind of weird to me. 631 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 3: We've been talking a lot about how the Steelers offensive 632 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 3: line has really come along this year, and never more 633 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 3: evident than Monday night when they are utilizing a fourth 634 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 3: string tackle who Brian Baldinger even said he didn't have 635 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 3: one bad rep. 636 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm allowed no pressures and and you know, the 637 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 11: week before when they were forced to put him in, 638 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 11: they're like, oh, they gotta protect that. This is the 639 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 11: first snap that he's taken. And uh, he played extremely well. 640 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 11: Uh you know, the the throwing of the ball over 641 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 11: the middle occasionally it just and going deep occasionally. 642 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 5: Just it's it's unbelievable how much it opens things up. 643 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 5: That said that said, I still think they're. 644 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 11: Going to have a hard time keeping up with with 645 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 11: Detroit's offense. I mean, Detroit well the start of the season, 646 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 11: winning four games in a row and they haven't won 647 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 11: back to back game since. But you look at the 648 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 11: last three teams they lost through the Rams, the Packers, 649 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 11: and the Eagles, that's a pretty good group right there. 650 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 11: And the weird thing is, you know, all games matter, 651 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 11: but all they have to do is beat the Ravens 652 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 11: the last game of the year, and they're in these 653 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 11: two games. 654 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 5: If they lose them both that they're still in if 655 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 5: they beat the Ravens. I hope it doesn't come down 656 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 5: to having to. 657 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 11: Do that, but you know, they could also win these 658 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 11: next two games, lose to Baltimore and still miss the playoffs. 659 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 11: So I kind of wish they were playing Baltimore this weekend. 660 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 11: We could get it over with and then maybe you 661 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 11: could rest for two weeks if you win. 662 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 3: Well, there's a scenario here if the Steelers lose and 663 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 3: the Ravens win, then Week seventeen against the Browns does 664 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 3: not matter for the Steelers. If that predicament occurs. And 665 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 3: you're Mike Tomlin, do you rest the key players? 666 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 11: Yes, I absolutely, especially with the team this old and 667 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 11: a quarterback who's wearing a cast on is left arm 668 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 11: as it is, Yeah, I would definitely. You know, if 669 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 11: you're one of these teams that's like fifteen and two 670 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 11: and you're gonna have a buy And then we saw 671 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,479 Speaker 11: that with you know, when Tony Dungee coach the Colts 672 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 11: and stuff, and then you rest guy and all of 673 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 11: a sudden, it's three weeks since guys played the game, 674 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 11: and you go out and you get beat by a 675 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 11: team that's been in desperation mode for a couple of weeks. 676 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 5: But I don't think one week is going to make 677 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 5: that big of a difference. 678 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 11: The thing about it is that, you know, Baltimore already 679 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 11: lost to the Lions. So to me, this is the 680 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 11: least important game of the three they have left because 681 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 11: because the tiebreaker will probably be they'll probably have the 682 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 11: same divisional record that the Steelers beat Cleveland and Baltimore 683 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 11: what happened to beat the Steelers? 684 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 5: Then you go to you know, common opponents, and. 685 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 11: That loss to the Bears is hurting because, pardon me, 686 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 11: Baltimore beat the Bears. So if the Steelers could go 687 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 11: and beat the Lions and Baltimore loses the New England, 688 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 11: that really ups their you know, possibilities when you go 689 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 11: to head to head. 690 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 3: Guy, Any thoughts on the changing ownership with the Pittsburgh 691 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 3: Steelers the or the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Hoffman Group out 692 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 3: of Chicago adds the Penguins now to their portfolio of 693 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 3: over two hundred different businesses. Hockey is now one of them. 694 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,719 Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what that means in terms of 695 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 3: newness to the sport. Certain they know how to make 696 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:06,479 Speaker 3: money FSG. They knew how to make money by just 697 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 3: buying the team, letting it sit there, doing nothing with it, 698 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 3: and sold it for a humongous profit. 699 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 6: It's like turning the house, except they didn't do anything exactly. 700 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,959 Speaker 3: They didn't have to fix it up right. 701 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, in fact, they let it. They let it fall 702 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 5: apart a little bit. 703 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, the deck fell off the back. 704 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 11: But you know, hey, we put new shutters on the front. 705 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 11: I kind of like it because I never really liked 706 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 11: the Fenway Sports Group. Just it's still in how a 707 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 11: town owner though I don't like absentee owners. 708 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 5: And I can number and Mike probably you two. 709 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 11: Back in the day when Edward de Barblow owned the team, 710 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 11: you know, he'd come down from Youngstown and he wouldn't 711 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 11: like sit in the press box. He would stand behind 712 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 11: the B section at the Civic arena, just like in 713 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 11: the in the back, behind the last row of seats 714 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 11: down there, and to be and watch the games. 715 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: And you know when. 716 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 11: Mario owned the team, I mean Burkele wasn't here as much, 717 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 11: but Mario was always in the box and I just 718 00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 11: like that hands on field. 719 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 5: I mean, well that fast. You never felt the Penguins. 720 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 11: Were as important as the Red Sox or even the 721 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 11: Liverpool soccer team. 722 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 5: It was just like a corporate cold ownership. 723 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 11: The worst thing to me that they did was they 724 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 11: alienated Lemieux and so if they treated it as an investment, 725 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 11: they got what they wanted. They pretty much doubled their money. 726 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 11: So I like that, but it's also another out of 727 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 11: town ownership. But these people aren't like owning all kinds 728 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 11: of sports enterprises to make money. EI are soccer or 729 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 11: hockey people. You know, they owned the team, the minor 730 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 11: league team down in Florida, the ever Blades or whatever. 731 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 11: Apparently you know that David Hoffman's kids all play hockey 732 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 11: and stuff. So but they don't have the money that 733 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 11: the Fenway Sports Group did either. Were used to them 734 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,919 Speaker 11: spending right up to the salary cap. Is this guy 735 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 11: going to be able to do it? And what's gonna happen? 736 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 11: And one of the things to me, what's gonna happen 737 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 11: to you know, sports Net Pittsburgh, because that's owned co 738 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 11: co By the Pirates and Fenway Sports Group. Are they 739 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 11: gonna have enough money to come in here and be 740 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 11: able to keep the television part floating? So I think 741 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 11: there are some questions, but in general I like it, 742 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 11: mostly because I didn't like Family Sports Group. 743 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 3: Guy, we're coming up on our Christmas break here. Tomorrow 744 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,479 Speaker 3: morning will be the last morning show for us before 745 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 3: we break till January fifth, and I'm wondering, are you 746 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 3: doing I remember asking that this last year, but I 747 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 3: can't remember what your answer was.
