1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: At any rate, that's the bad news.

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 2: Sid leaving the game with what looked like a knee injury,

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: got his knee bent under him, hit by Goudas, got

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 2: sandwiched a little bit after that.

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: No word yet on how long he's out.

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: I think that'll be kept close to the Vestins. Canada

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: is still in the tournament. Slovakia beat Germany today, avenging

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: the theft of the Sudette Land. Switzerland is up to

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: nail on Finland in the third period, and of course

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: we got the US playing Sweden, Sullivan versus Carlson, JT.

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: Miller against Elish Petterson. But again, I don't feel like watching.

12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: I don't feel like doing the show. I just don't

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: feel like anything but vomiting. Let's talk to Tommy Radio.

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: Thomas just sickening at kay Bosh. This is the Penguins

15
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: whole season. It just just casts a black clot. I

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: just I couldn't be less interested in hockey than I am.

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 1: Right this second. Yeah, it completely sucks.

18
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: And I said on yesterday's show, you know, I'm barely

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: excited about these Olympics anyway, you know, rooting for Team

20
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: USA to win. But it really wouldn't change my mood

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: that much if they lost, and I was so excited

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 3: for the Penguins to start again. I've been craving it

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 3: because of the season that they're having in second place

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: in the metro. Let's make this push to the playoffs.

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: Let's get Sid back in the playoffs. But now, whoops,

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: Sid might be out for the entire season.

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to speak that into existence, but boy

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: did it look bad. Mark, Yeah, it looked bad.

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: And like I said, for him to leave the game,

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 2: an Olympic elimination game representing Canada. And again, it's not

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: on Sid for playing. I just don't think those guys

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: should be in the Olympics. I think it's taking risk

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: with assets developed and paid for by NHL teams, and

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: they go out there Lodi Da playing for their country

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: and now Sid is likely out for a lengthy period

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: and the Penguins season is ruined.

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: Yep. And people say, well.

38
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: You can't tell these guys they can't represent their country. Well, actually,

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened in twenty twenty two and twenty eighteen.

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: When NHL players skip the Olympics, it's a bargaining chip

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: in the CBA. That's why they're back there, and now

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: I think it would be really tough to put the

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: toothpaste back in the tube. I'm being true to myself

44
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: when I gripe about this. I've always been against the

45
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: NHL taking a break, taking a break in February when

46
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: there's no competition for viewers besides the NBA, no baseball,

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: no football, and now with sid being heard, it's the

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: worst case scenario.

49
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: And it was a great overtime.

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: Biddington made a great safe stop to break away at

51
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: the end of regulation. Unreal goal by Marner when he

52
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: split three checks. Although I don't like three on three

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: in overtime, in a situation like that.

54
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: I don't either.

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: Once you get to the knockout stage, you got to

56
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: play five on five if you want to shorten the periods,

57
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: and then if you want to maybe go to a shootout.

58
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: Because this is the Olympics, this isn't NHL play off hockey.

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that, but I think it's got to

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: be five on five for the play for the overtime period.

61
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 3: Three on three is just I don't want to say

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: it's Carney, but for something like this, with a knockout

63
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: game at stake, you don't want to go that route

64
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 3: at all.

65
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you on that one.

66
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: Again, I'm not sure I'm interested in moving forward. Like

67
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: I said, a black cloud. Did those hits look dirty

68
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: to you? Tom, I'd say the Gouddas hit was a

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: little high, but more awkward the way Sid landed his

70
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: knee bending the wrong way, and the second one was

71
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: interference and not called.

72
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure if there was intent injured, then

73
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: again it was good. Isn't that not? About that? Efing

74
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: a hole?

75
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Tj Oci saying Sid was timid trying to avoid the

76
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: hit from Goudas and calling him goody because he used

77
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: to be teammates with him. But you know what, that's

78
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: what happens when you hand every fing ex athlete to mic.

79
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: It's buddy, sister.

80
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: She's terrible on the mic as well, if I do

81
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: say so bad, he's an a How about to when

82
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: the game went into overtime, he was talking about how

83
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: important it was to get the extra point on the broadcast.

84
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: It's like, wake up, bro, realize where you're at right now.

85
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: Yes, he made a reference to you know you survived that,

86
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: so you can at least get the extra point here

87
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: head into the overtime period. If you're check here, it's like, dude,

88
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: wake up, it's the knockout stage. But you know he's

89
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: just stumping for his old Capital buddy, and you know,

90
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: dare I take this a step further, but where the

91
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: frigg is Tom Wilson out there?

92
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: What's his point of being on this team?

93
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: If not too when people are you know, even those

94
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 3: weren't egregiously dirty hits, but taking a little bit of

95
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: a physical approach to the stars of Canada. Isn't Tommy

96
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 3: supposed to get out there and give it back?

97
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: It's an elimination game. No, you can't do that. I'm

98
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: not talking about fighting. I'm not talking about going and

99
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: getting injected, Chris taking a penalty.

100
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: Can't do it. Can't do it. I see your point.

101
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: Can't do it.

102
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: Can the Penguins hang in there without Sid? I don't

103
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: think they can chance. I bet they plumb it.

104
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: There's no chance they can hang in there without Sid.

105
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: And Sid has been kind of I don't want to

106
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: say slow heading into the Olympics for the Penguins as

107
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: far as point production is concerned, but he certainly has

108
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: slowed down a bit right like he was in a

109
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: bit of a stretch of not getting points and the

110
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: depth of the lineup was really carrying them, but you

111
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: still had Sidney Crosby's presence out there for twenty plus

112
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: minutes a night like that alone is worth so much

113
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: that they will fall out of top three in the Metro,

114
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: no doubt.

115
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: There's no shot in the wildcard. By the way, this

116
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: just relayed to me.

117
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: A prominent NHL agent says he's hearing Sid's knee is

118
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: season ending.

119
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised to hear that at all. It just

120
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: looked like that. And I know still frame photos aren't everything,

121
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: but that's not.

122
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: Official, but yeah, it's from somebody fairly reliable. Dan Muse talked,

123
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: he like find that Sid got hurt, and you know,

124
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: he was at Penguins practice and he said he didn't

125
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: mind players playing in the Olympics. But what else is

126
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: he gonna say, Well, see how he feels in a

127
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: month without Sid?

128
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

129
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: Do you think the front offices would really like this

130
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: to not happen and teams and ownerships would really like

131
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: this to not be the case? Or when the players

132
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: push for that in the CBA, are they kind of like, yeah, whatever,

133
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: we don't mind it either.

134
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: I think the gms and coaches wanted to happen because

135
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: a lot of them are involved. Dude, this is there

136
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: right now, right. Yeah, he's one of the associate GMS

137
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: for Canada exactly, So it's jobs for them, Billy g

138
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: Like I'm a most of the gms, I don't think

139
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: they're looking at you know, you know, being in a

140
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: GM or coach for Canada, US whatever. I don't think

141
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: those guys are looking at that as a paycheck. But

142
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: I think they just it's good for that up in

143
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: this international hockey fever, and it's a chance for and

144
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: this goes especially for players. It's a chance for players

145
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: that never have a chance to win otherwise to win.

146
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

147
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: And you know, I didn't mean to look a job

148
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 3: for them as far as paychecks is concerned, obviously, but

149
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: like they get to represent their country, they get to

150
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: do something prestigious, they get to go to the Olympics,

151
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: Like they're in Milan for the next couple of weeks.

152
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: There's a lot of of uh, worst places you could be.

153
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks too. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know.

154
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: I mean, like I said, if you want to represent

155
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: your country, join the army. They're not storming Omaha Beach.

156
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: I've always hated that part of it. I've always hated

157
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: the manufactured patriotism and faux flag.

158
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: Wave, and I think it's disgusting.

159
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: Uh but yeah, Anyway, if you're just tuning in, Sid

160
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: leaving today's game with what appeared to be an injury.

161
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: No official update on his status moving forward, but I'm

162
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: told secondhand by a prominent NHL agent that it looks

163
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: like it could be season ending. And I'm not sure

164
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: that's news. It kind of looked that way. Uh what

165
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: the minute he got.

166
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: Hit and Mark with the interference, do you put any

167
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: stock into it?

168
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Was Palot?

169
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: You know an Islander who did that? You know, someone

170
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: who's in the race with Sid and the Penguins. You

171
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: don't think he's thinking about that in that moment.

172
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: No, I didn't know. I think I think. I think

173
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: Pot is just a scumbag, no matter what.

174
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: No, I think he's a good player.

175
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: I I I think that that plot. I think his

176
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: best chance to win anything this year was playing for

177
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: Checkie in the Olympics, even though it wasn't much of

178
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: a chance for him in this tournament. Yeah, yeah, I

179
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: think these guys. I think these guys one does it

180
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: percent by into that representing their country stuff. I think

181
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: they do. Think they're storming Omaha Beach one oh five nine.

182
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: It's we got some great sound. Later another Steelers entered

183
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: defray in terms of the ex dealer intramural squabble that

184
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: seems to be NonStop. In the wake of Peasy ripping,

185
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: Ben on the Cam Hayward podcast, that useless fat rerun

186
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: looking idiot Zach Banner told Harrison he needs to shut

187
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: his mouth about Coach T. I guess Coach T is

188
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: a great coach, right, Zach, Well, he couldn't make you

189
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: into anything, You useless lump excrement, Zack Banner.

190
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Zach Banner, go the frig away, Zach Banner.

191
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: Tackle eligible, Yeah, eligible to never play, and then nobody

192
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: wants you to play the last five years and then

193
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: you retire. Enjoy your retirement, you useless lump of flesh.

194
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: Not to be critical. And then Ben talked on his

195
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: podcast about what Porter said, and he played it just

196
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: right because he never mentioned Porter. We got a clip

197
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: from that later too. Ben talked about growth and God

198
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: and faith and family and transformation went one percent babyface,

199
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 2: whether it was Ben's intent or not, and I think

200
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: it was. Ben made Porter look petty and like an ass.

201
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: So well done by Ben. I hope this ends it.

202
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: It won't, Tom. Ben is the king of passive aggressive

203
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: and won there. It is a masterclass.

204
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what we said he needed to do.

205
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have gone as Jesus as Ben does in

206
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: his real to never go to Jesus se that's true,

207
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: I guess, but it's exactly what needed to be done.

208
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 3: Didn't say Porter by name at all, talked about himself,

209
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: talked about him growing up, him maturing, put the focus

210
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: basically on him for his entire response.

211
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: In score to one and here I am being excited

212
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: about Hawk even though the Penguin season is ruined with

213
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: the Sid injury.

214
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

215
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: Do you believe this is the end of it? I

216
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: don't think so. Ben spoke total babyface. Zach Banner goes

217
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: after Harris, No, Harrison's gonna come back after him hard.

218
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: No, It's just never gonna end.

219
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: The Zach Banner thing definitely sparked something Harrison, and I

220
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: still think Hayward is going to backtrack at some point,

221
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 3: like Hayward is gonna come out on his podcast, he.

222
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: Said, gutless lump of flesh he is.

223
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: He's just done assuming him it is one playoff win

224
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: in fifteen years, gutsy leader Cam Hayden.

225
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: Anytime his foot even slightly gets put in his mouth

226
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: with that podcast, he runs back to it and he says,

227
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 3: I didn't mean it like that. A lot of the

228
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: times he'll blame it on us too, He'll be like, ah,

229
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 3: the media, you know, they take it out of context

230
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 3: all the time.

231
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: So that'll happen soon.

232
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: You know what I've realized, mister Friday Afternoon's right. I

233
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: do hate the Steelers. I think he does too, but

234
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 2: I definitely does.

235
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: But like, this is too much.

236
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: No playoff wins in nine years, coupled with all this

237
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: dragging the logo through the mud. The logo has no meaning,

238
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: no nobility, no credibility anymore.

239
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: And what sucks about this one is other than Cam Hayward,

240
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: who was just there as a bystander. And that's a

241
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: sin for him to be a bystander in this. There's

242
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 3: no current Steelers involved. It's all former Steelers.

243
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: People still still see them as Steelers, especially Ben. I

244
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: mean Ben is Pittsburgh Steelers. No, I'm Harrison him too. Yeah,

245
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, will be pounds, even Banner.

246
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 2: I mean people remember them as Steelers, not X Steelers currently,

247
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: but just as Steelers.

248
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: Period, hopefully not Zach Banner. I think you might be

249
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: right that people do remember him that. But he's not

250
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 3: the worst or what he really is. This whole retirement

251
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: thing that is just because he got a little pub

252
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: because of your comments about the Bend situation, so you're

253
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: gonna capitalize on them, right right.

254
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: Nobody's asked him to play for five years. The last

255
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 2: time he played was twenty twenty one. But I'd like

256
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: to announce my retirement, Zach, I'd like to announce it.

257
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 2: You're a fat, useless lump. But crap, and I think

258
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: he said something.

259
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: I can call him fat. I've lost fifty three pounds

260
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: where I cut the sound bite out of his legs.

261
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: Don't see him losing weight eight No, maybe he did

262
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: because he can't afford food.

263
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm employed. Ain't played in five years.

264
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 3: It was like an eight minute long video that Banner

265
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: posted and he was like, now we're starting my career

266
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 3: into media.

267
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: I was like, great, starting your career in the media.

268
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: You have to post it on starting his career in

269
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: the media. He's not, he thinks he is.

270
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: He's not.

271
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: Oh he will, He'll get a microphone. They hand microphones

272
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: out like handy to these athletes. A lot of them

273
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: hand them to themselves though. That's what he did there

274
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: with his own Twitter account.

275
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: He gained weight during that video. It's unbelievable. It is wild.

276
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: Usually see linemans go like the fanic are out right

277
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: and just swim right down.

278
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: There's nothing like fat Guy's revenge either, is there. Tom

279
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 2: lose a little weight, then go after the fat guys.

280
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: It's nice, but I'm still really fast. You see pouncing

281
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: now too. Pouncy has lost so much weight he looks

282
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: almost sickly sometimes.

283
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: Did Banner lose weight? No, and he'll fire back at me.

284
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, absolutely, without question. Yea, because you're

285
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: gonna tweet at him, right, Hey, Zach, who's making more money? Now?

286
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: Me or you? Where'd all that football money go?

287
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: Zach?

288
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, fast food.

289
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: That's where when it's all you can afford, you like

290
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: to pound it down anyway.

291
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: I like to pound it down too, though pretty fair.

292
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: It's great food. So do I.

293
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: Hey, here's something we talked yesterday about that Tyson Mayweather fight,

294
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: which is farcical. Okay, Tom, who would win a fight

295
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: between Tyson and Kurt Angle in their primes?

296
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: What rule are we playing by? Each guy can do

297
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: his thing.

298
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: Probably Angle Angle will take him down to them and

299
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: it would just be over there. I'll go one step further.

300
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: Angle wins easy easily because he takes him down to

301
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: the mat, takes Tyson down and taps him. No problem.

302
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: If each guy can do what he does, do their thing.

303
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: The wrestler always beats the boxer. That's why they made

304
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: McGregor into a boxer against Mayweather. If that would have

305
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: been you know, each guy does his own thing. McGregor

306
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: taps Mayweather in like a minute.

307
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: It's not even close.

308
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: The second he catches him, right because Mayweather will probably

309
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: try to dodge him around the wing. But a second

310
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 3: he gets enough grapple on him and brings him to

311
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: the mat, it's over. There's no way a boxer is

312
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 3: gonna be able to break out of those grapples.

313
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know who would I'll tell you, even

314
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: although I was gonna say brock Lesner would would beat

315
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: Titan up more and faster, except in an amateur style

316
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: match they informally did in a w B ring like

317
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: before a show.

318
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: Angle beat Lesnar pretty handily.

319
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 3: O't wrestled him, and just like wrestling, like as far

320
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: as like you know, Olympic style is concerned.

321
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean, even though Brock is just mammoth, but.

322
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 3: Kurt's one of the best wrestlers of all time as

323
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 3: far as that's concerned, But I mean that style.

324
00:13:59,320 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: Now.

325
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 2: Did you ever hear about the fight between Muhammad Ali

326
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: and Antonio and Oki?

327
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: No?

328
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: Okay, this is very famous. It was nineteen seventy six.

329
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: Ali was world champ him versus an Oki in Tokyo.

330
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: Inoki was presented as an MMA guy, like he was

331
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: billed as the World Mixed Martial Arts champion. That might

332
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: have been the debut with the term before was a thing, right,

333
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: but he was just a fake pro wrestler. He ran

334
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: and was the top star of New Japan Pro Wrestling.

335
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: And it was supposed to be a worked fight, but

336
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: Ali were nigged on his promise to lose, so it

337
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: was a shoot, but really boring because once they determined

338
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: it would be a shoot, the rules just prohibited so much,

339
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: and Inoki just laid on his back and kicked Ali

340
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: in the legs, which some people think hurt Alli the

341
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: rest of his career because Ali absorbed like a hundred

342
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: kicks to his leg And yeah, maybe so it was

343
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: a draw, but everybody got paid. It grossed twenty million

344
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: on close circu in the US, not pay per view,

345
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,359
Speaker 2: but I'm talking people going like the arenas and theaters

346
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: to see it broadcast.

347
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: That was the way it was.

348
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: Then it sold out like fourteen thousand seat arena in Japan,

349
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: and it's it's said that over one billion people watched

350
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: the worldwide. But that seems a typical pro wrestling exaggeration.

351
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: You watched it, You watched the fight at the time, Yeah.

352
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: No, I saw it on on replay afterwards.

353
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: So it was literally just an okee basically laying on

354
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,119
Speaker 3: his back like a fish, flopping like like his legs likeryun.

355
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: The rule said he could not land a kick h

356
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: unless unless he was prone something like I don't know

357
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: what they were, but they just get in that prone position.

358
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: It made it impossible, and that made it impossible for

359
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: him to be hit too.

360
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: Which he would get in lights out right if all

361
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: he could actually hit him, especially remaining on their deal.

362
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: I think in a real fight, in Oke wins really. Yeah,

363
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: and Okie was a big man and and tough, and

364
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: he was a grappler of some repute. That's an interesting

365
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: maybe not, but I'm just always going to pick the

366
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: grappler to beat the wrestler if they can do that, Yeah,

367
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: no question. Do you know what the finish was supposed

368
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: to be. It was supposed to be this typical pro

369
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: wrestling finish. It was Ali swings missus, Aoki actually knocks

370
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: out the ref. While the ref is on the mat,

371
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: Ali like tries to see if he's okay, and Inoki

372
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: takes advantage to knock all thee out with the roundhouse

373
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: kick and the ref comes to and counts out Ali.

374
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 3: I love it. I think that would have been awesome.

375
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: And Ali just did not go through with it. Didn't

376
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: tell anybody, or did he say in the beginning, I'm

377
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: not doing that.

378
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: It depends you believe.

379
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: No, No, he got there, like they revised everything on

380
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: the fly once he got to Tokyo. Now, in OKI's

381
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: camp says that Ali said, okay, when are we doing

382
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: the rehearsal, But Aoki says it was always supposed to

383
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: be a shoot. Whereas you know Ali's camp, you know

384
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: that those who were left says that it was supposed

385
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: to be at work from the beginning.

386
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know who you believe. Because it's pro wrestling.

387
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: How did that become such a thing with boxing and

388
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: such the height of its power back then, and Ali

389
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: at the top of it is the world heavyweight champion,

390
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: like a crossover like that?

391
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: Money weird? Right? Money? Okay, don't forget Ali didn't get

392
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: that much money on purses.

393
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: Well he did, but he missed a lot of prime

394
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: earning years when when the US screwed him, when they

395
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 2: you know, when he didn't when he was he wasn't

396
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: in jail, but he you know, wouldn't go in for

397
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: they they took away his passport and kept him from fighting.

398
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, he eventually won, you know, got got this,

399
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: got everything overturned, you know, and was ruled a conscience

400
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 2: subjector like he said, no Vietnamese ever called me the

401
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: N word, right, And I'm with him, that was no

402
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 2: unjust warn Ali did the right thing. I think all

403
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 2: he's not only the greatest boxer ever been, but a

404
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 2: tremendous American. Oh, Finland hits the bar. I'm gonna hit

405
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: the bar when this game's over, when this when this

406
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: show's over, I should say. But yeah, that that's a

407
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: really interesting story. And I've read a lot on Ali

408
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 2: versus and Oki, and nobody really knows what happened.

409
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: You know, you know what I mean, nobody.

410
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: I mean, like I just told you, you know, a

411
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: couple of different versions, but nobody really knows.

412
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 3: There's gotta be some like movies, documentaries made about this.

413
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: There's a book, a book, there's a book. I'm surprised

414
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: that the book's really in depth. But again, you don't know,

415
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: you don't know the truth. It's wrestling like the you

416
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: heard about the Brett Hart screw job, right, I'm familiar

417
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: with that.

418
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: Where where we're where they they double crossed heart in

419
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: the ring on a finish they told it was going

420
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: to be a double con out in Shawn Michaels pin them.

421
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: The referee, No, no, Shawn Michaels put Brett in his

422
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: own submission to Sharpshooter, and uh, Brett was supposed to

423
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: reverse it. You could see Brett going to reverse and

424
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: the referee calls the submission because he was obviously in

425
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 2: on it, and they changed the belt before Brett goes

426
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 2: to w CW.

427
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: Before and they didn't have Brett know about it at all.

428
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: Just too well. But it depends you believe, like like,

429
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people I know think it

430
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: was a work.

431
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 4: See.

432
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 3: But that's what makes that is what makes the wrestling

433
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 3: the best, right is when you don't have the when

434
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: you have the doubt there if it's.

435
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I I like a whole different kind

436
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: of doubt. I like k FABE.

437
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: I liked when they tried to act like it was real.

438
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: It was real, even though we knew it wasn't.

439
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you had asked the questions, it was

440
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: always nuts real. Of course, there's a.

441
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: Real good book on an ok leave, but again it's

442
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: the book thinks that it was supposed to be a

443
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: shoot from the beginning, and that all we made some

444
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: stuff up because it was so bad. But who knows,

445
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: and actually who cares. We've talked about it too much

446
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 2: if we're just tuning in. Sid left the game today

00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 2: CHECKI giving Canada all they can handle and now the

470
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: Swiss taking Finland overtime. The Swiss with Roman Yosi, I

471
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 2: think Myers on that team too. An NHL players, I

472
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: think the NHL has been so over expanded and diluted

473
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: talent wise, that there are a lot of players outside

474
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 2: the NHL that could play there and just aren't for

475
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: whatever reason not discovered, you know, prefer to play in

476
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 2: the KHL, better money there, whatever. But but I look

477
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 2: at like, you know, guys on check I never heard

478
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: of giving Canada all they can handle, and you wonder.

479
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: That are playing well.

480
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys on Switzerland that you wonder you know, is

481
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: this guy you know deserving of a shot in the NHL.

482
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you this, if they are going to

483
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 3: expand the NHL, which I think they are going to,

484
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 3: and we already said, the talent pool seems to be

485
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: very spread out thin already. So if that gets spread

486
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: out even thinner, they better bring in and hope they

487
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: can bring in some of these other guys that we

488
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: have seen in tournaments like this that are in the

489
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: KHL and the other leagues around the world.

490
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: But again, I mean, I bet some of these guys

491
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: get more in the k than they would hear.

492
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: Definitely, probably most to home. Some guys played.

493
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: The Swiss League is very popular because they pay pretty

494
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 2: good and Switzerland's a small country. The travel was minimal.

495
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: That KHL tom the travel there is unbelievable Russia series.

496
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: Jilln Reese played at some far flung locale. He was

497
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: taking like five hour flight, six hours best for away games.

498
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet you know, as long as you can

499
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: make a living, like a comfortable living playing in Switzerland,

500
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 3: you play in your home nation. I don't see why

501
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 3: you wouldn't want to do that. You get to play

502
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 3: hockey for a living. You might not be loaded, you

503
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: might not be super rich.

504
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 2: I would want to play in North America if I'm

505
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: North American, given the alternative, but like you know, these Europeans.

506
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: But if you're from Switzerland, yeah.

507
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, but a lot of there's been a lot like

508
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: this said some good players who've played in the cave

509
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 2: at the Swiss League.

510
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: There's leagues everywhere.

511
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 2: It's at the point where if you can't play pro

512
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: hockey somewhere, you stink.

513
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 3: And not to say that Canada and TUSA doesn't care

514
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 3: about this, but you've noted this so much. The euro

515
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 3: teams just care so much. I mean they're bleeding out there.

516
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 3: The excitement on the Chechia bench when they went up

517
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: three to two was insane. It looked like they were

518
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: getting ready to win the Stanley Cup.

519
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: Honestly, well, I think what carried Canada to comeback and

520
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: to the winning overtime was God, faith, family, transformation, also growth,

521
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: you know what else I liked in that overtime. And

522
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: again I'm talking too much about hockey, even though I'm

523
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: totally depressed that Sid you know, looks like he screwed

524
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: up his knee and might be out for the season.

525
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: We're told.

526
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: Mitch Marner didn't do typical three on three overtime where

527
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: he doubled back, looked for trailer, all that re entry

528
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 2: exit stuff. He just split three guys and scored on

529
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: a back end. It was a beautiful piece of creativity

530
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: and it once to against the grain of how boring

531
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 2: three on three overtime can be.

532
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: And that's what three on three kind of was, right,

533
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: and it's initial.

534
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, when it first started in the NHL, it was

535
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 3: guys doing what Marner did all the time, taking risks attack.

536
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: You would barely see it get to the shootout, right,

537
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: because they would just be it'd be such open hockey

538
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: for five minutes that usually someone would score. And then

539
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 3: it just became a way too conservative. And I don't

540
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 3: think that you know, a Marner goal in the Olympics

541
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: is going to have NHL team start to change back

542
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 3: and start to be aggressive more. But it was so

543
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: refreshing to see it happen.

544
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: That guy's life's a lot better. We were talking about

545
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 2: that during the break Toronto, with all that pressure, the expectations.

546
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 2: Then he goes to Vegas, which has a better team,

547
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 2: a better organization, and there's not critical media, there's not

548
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: cynical fans.

549
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: I bet he's loving life in Vegas. Plus, it's Vegas,

550
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: it's Vegas.

551
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 3: He's got insulation to as far as other stars with

552
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: Eichel and Stone there. I wonder what Maple Leafs fans

553
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 3: are feeling today. You know, obviously they liked Team Canada,

554
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: so they liked that they won. But I mean, is

555
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: it too harsh to say they kind of ran Marner

556
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 3: out of town or they were kind of, you know,

557
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 3: willing to see him go and not put up more

558
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: of a fight.

559
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: Think he was more contractual than anything, because you were

560
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: already paying Kneelander and Matthews and John Tavares. Tavares that

561
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: big contract that gave him a few years back, that

562
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 2: was the one that killed him there. It is the

563
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: Finns win on a breakaway.

564
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: Who is that? Who's sixty two? I think it's Rupe

565
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: hints now he was twenty four. I saw him earlier.

566
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 2: So the Finns go to the semifinals if the US wins,

567
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: what are the semifinals?

568
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 3: If the United States wins, the United States places Slovakia,

569
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 3: the Finns get Canada.

570
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: I think I think those will both be rots, don't you.

571
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Canada has to struggle today with check Yeah,

572
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: Finland is better than Checkie, I think.

573
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but but uh, Canada struggling to beat Checky

574
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: today strikes me as the one hiccup and they got

575
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: away with it. Maybe a lot of times when you

576
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 2: win a tournament, you have the one hiccup and it's

577
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 2: whether you get pass to the win anyway that determines

578
00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: how good you are and if you win or not.

579
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: And then I guess if Sweden were to win, it

580
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: would be sweeten Canada and the Fins would get Slovakia

581
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: in the medal round.

582
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 3: It's gonna be I think it's a coin flip today though,

583
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: between t I was just gonna say I think TSA

584
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: is gonna win. But I don't know how confident I

585
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 3: am in that I think they will. It'll be USA Canada.

586
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 3: We had it on that collision court.

587
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: I think they will win. I just think Carl takes

588
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: over two goals, want assist.

589
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 2: He'll score the game winner in overtime, then pick up

590
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: the puck and fired at Sullivan. You know, I said before,

591
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: somebody somebody tweeted at me, Tom, I said before, how

592
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: NHL players?

593
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: Who is that to score? He's a good player. How

594
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: great passed to bisect the defense?

595
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: There?

596
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: That that's pretty good? I said before.

597
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: The Olympics don't benefit the NHL, and somebody challenged me

598
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: on Twitter about that. Okay, here's how they don't benefit.

599
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: The game's on in odd hours. The NHL's TV ratings

600
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: after the Olympics don't go up. Guys get hurt, like

601
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 2: Crosby today and like Fiala for the LA Kings. He

602
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: broke his leg early into tournament. And here's one that

603
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 2: I mentioned very briefly a bit ago. Right now, this

604
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: time of year, it's right after football, it's right before MLB.

605
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 2: It's winter time, so it feels like hockey season. And

606
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: except for the NBA, you got no competition for yes,

607
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: so people are watching hockey.

608
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 3: It's just not your hockey, and the NBA product mark

609
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 3: is just in the garbage right now. I'm not saying

610
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 3: that hockey would ever be able to catch the NBA

611
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 3: as far as viewership is concerned, or you know, bridge

612
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: that gap with just one February of play right now.

613
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: But no one is excited about what's happening in the NBA,

614
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 3: all the three pointers being shot in just that boring

615
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: style of play. But the NHL always misses the boat

616
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 3: on things like this, like it is a league that

617
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 3: has made its reputation always making the wrong.

618
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 2: They do realize that almost everybody out there disagrees with us,

619
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: right Probably some might not in the moment because Sid

620
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: got hurt. But people want to see this. But that's

621
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 2: part of the problem two for the NHL. The people

622
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 2: want to see this. People see this now is the

623
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 2: real hockey, especially now that you've given them the four

624
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: nations in the Olympics two years in a row.

625
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: They see this is the real hockey.

626
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: February's winner, They're gonna see this gold medal game Sunday

627
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: a lot of them.

628
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: Is the end of hockey season, and we get this

629
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 3: whole like, oh, this is best on best I like

630
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 3: seeing the best on best isn't best on best. The

631
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 3: NHL isn't the best on best. Watching the NHL night

632
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 3: in and night out. Best on best is Russia playing

633
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 3: the Russians can play in the NHL. Never get past that.

634
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 3: You can see the NHL. Get past that. I'm just

635
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 3: so happy that Ben invoked God.

636
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: Ben. If you're listening, buddy, I'm not making fun of you.

637
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think it's incredible.

638
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: One other thing Tom tre Trey Essex said on that

639
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 2: podcast he does with Charlie Batch, which is very good,

640
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: and I gotta give Trey credit. He's not out there

641
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: sniping like all the other ex Steelers taking potshots at

642
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: and others who wore the black and gold. He said

643
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: that Caleb Johnson could still be a contributor in Pittsburgh now.

644
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: He's the running who got buried on the bench as

645
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: a rookie last year. He let the kickoff roll into

646
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: the end zone, didn't pick it up. Was that Denver Seattle? Seattle,

647
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: Seattle recovered it for a touchdown. So yeah, that's one

648
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: great thing potentially about the coaching change. It's a clean

649
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: slate for Caleb. It's a clean slate for Roma Wilson,

650
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 2: more snaps and targets for mouth Tomlin. He would just

651
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: decide and then whatever he decided stayed decided.

652
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

653
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 3: I agree with what Trey is saying because I find

654
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 3: it so hard to believe that someone who was such

655
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 3: a great running back for Iowa, a team that runs

656
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 3: the ball like crazy against some good defenses in the

657
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: Big Ten, someone that your scouting department decided was worth

658
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: taking a third round pick on. And when you did

659
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 3: it, it wasn't like you had a bunch of talking heads

660
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 3: being like, what are the Steelers doing? That's a crackpop move.

661
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: That's where Caleb Johnson was supposed to go. I just

662
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 3: refused to believe that he forgot how to play football. Basically,

663
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: that he's just a complete scrub. Should be on the

664
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: practice squad in one year's time. So I think there

665
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: is still a runway for Caleb Johnson. I think he

666
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: can be used well and make an.

667
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: NFL story with the Rogers factor, and Rogers does not

668
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: like young players out there.

669
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Do you think Gainwell leaves though, Do you think they

670
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: bring game Weell back or do you think he leaves

671
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: in free agency that'll help Caleb Johnson get on the field.

672
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: I think this is his one chance to cash in

673
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: on free age. I think he's gonna go. I think

674
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna go somewhere else.

675
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Caleb Johnson has an opportunity there unless they

676
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: bring in, you know, Aaron Jones, who was Rogers old

677
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: buddy and played for McCarthy in Green Bay.

678
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Stay here to win? You

679
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: don't win here. It's a great point.

680
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 2: You know, you can go someplace else and make more

681
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: money and maybe have a better chance.

682
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 3: And you're a weapon, I mean no question about it.

683
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: So like there's gonna be teams that are gonna be

684
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 3: interested in bringing your your services in. You're You're a

685
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 3: great dual threat back, one of the better receiving backs

686
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

687
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: Oh did Sebastian Laho get the second goal? I don't know,

688
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: don't know.

689
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: He got the first goal for Finland. Like I've said repeatedly,

690
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: high Skinner got the second one. He skinned the second one.

691
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: I think Aha got the first and uh yeah, Aha.

692
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: I was on an elevator with him when he was

693
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: hurt and in town with Caroline. He's the best smelling

694
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: man I've ever been around.

695
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: To think he's the best smelling man in Italy right now,

696
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: in the entire country of Italy, not right after a

00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 2: from Tom to Tome on high of fifty seven cloudy

706
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: Skuys once again. The first hour of the program brought

707
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: to us by Shndorovich, Shendroovitch and Fishman, who I haven't

708
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: mentioned enough so far in this hour, but I am

709
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: having dinner with them tonight, so I'll pick up the

710
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: check unless they grabbed the bill first, which I'll give

711
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: them every opportunity to do.

712
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: Tom, what do we offer for the trifecta.

713
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 3: I've got a pretty sportsy Steelers e trifecta today. Mark,

714
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 3: you mentioned something on the show yesterday when you were

715
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: ranting about the Steelers and how oh they need a

716
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 3: wide receiver.

717
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: They need a quarterback.

718
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 3: But they got other holes on this roster a lot

719
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 3: more flaws than that do so quarterback, wide receiver being

720
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 3: one two, here are the next three holes that they

721
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 3: need to fill.

722
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: Defensive line. I believe that title is available on Falcon Studios.

723
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: Defensive line has to be this list. I'll put that

724
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: at number three. Maybe it should be higher than that.

725
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: Cam Heyward's getting old. His best years have to be

726
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: behind him. That's a good bet. Keanu Benton hasn't developed

727
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: into anybody. Harmon and Ya Black they're entering their second year,

728
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 2: but they better take a leap, especially Derek Harmon a

729
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: first round pick, and you saw Seattle in the Super Bowl.

730
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: Mark they do like line changes on their defensive line.

731
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: It's like they got three guys jumping over the board sometimes,

732
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: like you need to have six seven guys you can

733
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 3: play there.

734
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: Okay, what else? Number two?

735
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with cornerback number two, opposite of Joey

736
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 3: Porter Junior. You might even just say the secondary other

737
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 3: than Joe Yeah, I think it should be top of

738
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: the list priority this year.

739
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: I'd give him good money.

740
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: Lock him up, make him a number one corner because

741
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: he plays like one. But they got nothing other than him.

742
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: You know what a knditioneff would be that his dad

743
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 3: shuts up. And I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding.

744
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: How do you control that?

745
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 2: Though, I'd say, we need your dad to shut up

746
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: by any means necessary. You see these zeros on this contract,

747
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 2: write it into the contract. But I would say, hey,

748
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: can your dad shut up? Look at all this money?

749
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: Then again, you need all these guys to shut up.

750
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 3: That's true. You could even say the whole secondary though,

751
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 3: other than Joey Porter Junior. Do we have faith in

752
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: Elliot and Ramsey as a safety tandem? Ramsey especially, I mean,

753
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: who knows how he develops?

754
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: Indus, do one shock me if they put Ramsey back

755
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 2: at corner or in the slot.

756
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: I would not chalk me either. But then you open

757
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: up another hole at safety. There.

758
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: Number one for me, though, and this is a bit

759
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 3: of a sneaky one is inside linebacker, because I just

760
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: don't think they got good people at inside linebacker. And

761
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 3: I think the biggest problem with this one, Mark is

762
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 3: this is a hole that they think is filled. They're

763
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: gonna go with Queen and Wilson and think that it's good.

764
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: I think they're inside Backers are badly overrated, not least

765
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: by them.

766
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think Queen is a very good cut

767
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: candidate this year. But I bet you they don't cut him.

768
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 3: I bet you they bring him back. And Peyton Wilson,

769
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: I mean, at some point you just got to say,

770
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 3: we thought he had a ton of potential, but he's

771
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 3: never going to catch on at the NFL like we

772
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 3: think he could have out of college.

773
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: The Trifactor brought Dows by Danny's Pezz and Hogies family

774
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 2: owned and Operators in nineteen sixty. That's Nanny's en Route

775
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: eighty eight in Bethel Park.

776
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: Tom.

777
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: Of all the Steelers firing back and forth the X

778
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: Steelers in their little inha squabbles, who do you think

779
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: has come off the worst?

780
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: That's a good question, and we include the person who

781
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: started at all with Joey Porter. Yeah, I guess should

782
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: say him number one.

783
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: He would have to be the first one that has

784
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: come off the worst. Cam didn't say anything, but just

785
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: by him being a part of it, it looks really Zach.

786
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: Banner telling Harrison to shut up well right, and he's

787
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 2: doing that to try to get a reaction from Harrison

788
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 2: to keep his name Zach Banner's name out there.

789
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: It's a great point. Yeah.

790
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 3: Do you think he wants to get into a celebrity

791
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: boxing match with James Harrison?

792
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: Perhaps?

793
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: I don't think James boxes per se. I think if

794
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 2: it was a fight I don't think would last very long.

795
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: It would not He would eat Zach Banner live.

796
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 2: Unless Banner literally ate hit. That's a good point. Is

797
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: a possibility. He's a big, fatso.

798
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Zach Banner's a good call just because he's such

799
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: a nobody's such as zero. And there were some other

800
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: zeros like Tyler Mattakaevich that had an Instagram comment, but

801
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: that was it.

802
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: Like Banner keeps coming back for more.

803
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: The only zero that should count to Jack Banner is

804
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 2: the zero at the end of a wake in one eighty.

805
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: And it's worked for me, Tom fifty three pounds, look

806
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: at me, I look terrific.

807
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: That's an amazing plug right there. I mean, good lord,

808
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: you're the best and Waken one ad.

809
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: He'll probably call me up and say, hey, this fat

810
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: guy Banner. Can we get a hold of him?

811
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: We need him now? Fat?

812
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: Is he? No?

813
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 3: The plan for Awaken one eighty, as we've always said,

814
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 3: is you and Mike McCarthy be in the faces of it.

815
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: That's the plan, that's the goal. Yes, with with me

816
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 2: being of course the head hauncho. If I didn't laugh,

817
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 2: I'd cry. I'm so upset about about Sid getting hurt

818
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 2: leaving the game. You keep remembering it, right, Oh, here's

819
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 2: some news actually from that. John Cooper spoke to the Median.

820
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: Obviously he said there's no update on Sid, but he

821
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 2: said that his pitch to the team that was echoed

822
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: in the dressing room between the second and third period

823
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 2: is don't let this be Sid's last Olympic game.

824
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 3: Well, the knee might make it his last Olympic game. Yeah,

825
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 3: they have nothing to do with it. I get that message.

826
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 3: It's a good message to rally the boys going out

827
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 3: in the third period with the game in doubt. But

828
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 3: it just looks so abysmally bad. And the fact that

829
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: he left the game, went to the locker room. I mean,

830
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: Sid is tough as nails. He stays in play through

831
00:34:59,200 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 3: almost anything.

832
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: Where you look at Game seven and O nine finals,

833
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: he was hurt, you know, midway through the game, came

834
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 2: out to the bench. The mule hit him, that Fronston,

835
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: but he came out on the bench, played sparingly, but yeah,

836
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: he he gave it a go. He just couldn't give

837
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 2: it a go today. And like I said that that

838
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: looks pretty grim. Gouddas uh is the guy who hit

839
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 2: him when when Sid's knee doubled under him. Uh, Gudas

840
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 2: said he was just trying to finish his hit. What

841
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 2: else is he gonna say? I gotta be honest, though,

842
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: having seen the hit, it didn't look intentional, you know,

843
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: it was just it was just an awkward hit. The

844
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 2: hit that bothered me the most was not long before that.

845
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 2: There were three hits actually, Uh, the Gouddas hit a

846
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: little bit after that, before Sid could get off he

847
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 2: kind of got sandwich interfered with.

848
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: But before the.

849
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 2: Goodest hit plot, that one clearly interfered with him, you know,

850
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: like a body check away from the puck.

851
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: And that didn't hurt Sid.

852
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: But if that gets called as a penalty there, the

853
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 2: Gouddas hit probably doesn't occur.

854
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: And I don't know how the rest it changes the

855
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: timeline of the game.

856
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 3: I know they can't say everything, but like, I don't

857
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: know how the ref's missed that one because it was

858
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 3: in the neutral zone and Sid just goes sliding into

859
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 3: the board. It's like flying on his backside with the

860
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 3: puck nowhere near them. They just showed Sid walking on

861
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 3: the tunnel. It looks it looks so bad. It looks

862
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 3: like Sid just knows. Yeah, it just looks terrible. He

863
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 3: can barely put any weight on that leg. I think

864
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 3: it's his right leg that got hurt and the goodest hit.

865
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: You were saying it is a dirty is it not.

866
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 3: I don't think it was dirty, but him going high.

867
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: But it's a dirty player, So I have my suspicions.

868
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 3: And then Sid just the way he bends backwards and

869
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 3: you see the knee just get caught in that awkward position.

870
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: It's it's no good. It's it's no good. And you'll

871
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: hear do you think you'll hear?

872
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 3: People try to talk some optimism if Sid is out

873
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 3: for the year, saying, oh, they can do it, they

874
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 3: can stay in the top three, the yeah they will.

875
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: That optimism will not be coming. Well, yeah they're done

876
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: with that.

877
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no question, but that they have no hope,

878
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 2: none whatsoever. And I said, they did make the playoffs,

879
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: what good would it do without Sid went around? Was

880
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: to get Sid back to the playoffs and they wouldn't

881
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 2: win around without it, But they won't get there either.

882
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.

883
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 3: The wild card is done, like the Atlantic is going

884
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 3: to take the two wild card spots. It's top three

885
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 3: in the Metro or bust. And you have a nicely

886
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 3: right now. But it ain't comfortable at all. And without

887
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 3: said you're not going to sustain it.

888
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I know Sid couldn't put any weight

889
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 2: on that knee, but it could be worse.

890
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: He could weigh as much as Zach Banner.
