1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: This is the Mark Madden Show. You like it, you

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: love it, you want more of it? You can follow

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: me on Twitter at Mark Madden Actual.

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: I hope that Sweden beats Latvia. I want to see

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: Sweden against the US and the quarters. I want to

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: see good games. Then if Sweden would upset the US,

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Sweden has to continue running the gauntlet. They would play

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Canada in the semifinals because even though they haven't receded

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: for the quarterfinals, they would recede for the semifinals.

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: I don't get that at all.

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: In between Canada running rough shot over everybody and the

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: US women running rough shot over everybody. If we're honest

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: at tournament sen we're going to look back at Olympic

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: hockey and say how boring it was. We keep talking

16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: about decision and jet to be made by the Steelers,

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: like drafting Ty Simpson, which mel kiper Junior says would

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: be a good idea, which makes me think it is

19
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: not a good idea. Been talking about how does the

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: Rogers situation play out?

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: And I don't think he going to decide anytime soon.

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: I think the same old crap going to play out

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: again with Grandpa game Manager and of course, these Steelers

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: hired McCarthy. But all that talk about Steelers' decisions begs

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: the question why would we trust the Steelers to make

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: the correct decision? And later in the show, I'm going

27
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: to talk about five, actually six incredibly damaging decisions made

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: by the Steelers since twenty nineteen, and I mean incredibly damaging,

29
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: franchise altering. But let's bring on Tommy Radio and let's

30
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: talk about one bad decision made by the Steelers that

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: kind of slips under the radar. The Steelers have gone

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the entire any of the last two seasons without a

33
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: legit number two wide out, not since they traded Deonte

34
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 1: never replaced him. Tom.

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: That's mind boggling, it really is.

36
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 3: And you think that slips under the radar just because

37
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 3: there's so many things that they have just had aired

38
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: in their way.

39
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: I think when you compare it the draft and Kenny

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Picktt is one to forget about. Yeah, but it is

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: might not be number one this list. Boy, it is

42
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: a heck of a whitaney of failure.

43
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: Tom.

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: It is just honestly such a feet of malpractice by

45
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: this front office to go two full NFL seasons without

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 3: having even an appropriate you know, gamble at that position

47
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 3: because maybe you take a pick in the draft in

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: the second round, maybe you make a better trade than

49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: they did for a player like a Jacoby Meyer and

50
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: it doesn't work out, but that's at least you know

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: you're attacking it, you know, with an actual.

52
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: One, getting a guy like Jacoby Meyer who is pretty

53
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: highly regarded. Get somebody somebody that actually could pay off.

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: And never think of Jerry Judy and the Brown's got

55
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: remember that.

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: A couple of years.

57
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: There's there's so many people that they could have gotten,

58
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: and they just decided that the guys on their roster

59
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: were gonna be the guys that they were gonna gamble on.

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: Well, and the quarterback decided some of that too. We

61
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: talk about drafting a receiver and signing free agent receivers,

62
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: but Rogers has maybe too much impact. That's how you

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: wind up with Felan and MVS and Scottie Miller all

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: out there, all getting way too many snaps, and Roman

65
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: Wilson on the pay no mind list, Roman Wilson, who

66
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: at least has an upside.

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rogers wasn't there for the draft though last year,

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: so they just chose to go through that entire draft

69
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: without taking a wide.

70
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's why they got Feland, He's why they

71
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: got MVS. He's why Miller got on the field. He's

72
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: why Wilson got ignored.

73
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, he's part of that, the Wilson getting ignored part, though.

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: I think there's a little bit of Mike Tomlin and

75
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: the coaching staff in there as well. With Aaron Rodgers

76
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: just didn't like him.

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: They drafted him and decided they didn't like him, which

78
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: begs the question.

79
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: Why did you draft?

80
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: It happened so much with that coaching staff. With Caleb

81
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: Johnson's the most recent example. They just drafted him and

82
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: then decided he's a bum and they said, hey, go

83
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: return kicks. You've never done that before at Iowa. He

84
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: fumbles one out of the end zone. What do you

85
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: expect him to do? And then they benished them, basically

86
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: for just forgot he had. That's a good point. I

87
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: forgot about that. It was so bad.

88
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Steelers need three wide outs, Tom and one

89
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: that's better than DK, and I bet the Steelers don't

90
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: come close to pulling that off, you know, I bet

91
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: they wind up with with one more decent guy by

92
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: draft or free agency and d K and then pretty

93
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: much Jabroni's.

94
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: It's impossible to predict the draft, but like taking a

95
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: receiver in the first round and then another one in

96
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: the third round with one of I think your three

97
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: third round picks, just it's smacks of being so obvious.

98
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: I really hope that that is the path that they

99
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: go forward with in this draft. But I can very

100
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 3: clearly see ty Simpson's name being called a twenty one,

101
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: then maybe like a corner in the second round. Then

102
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, we're taking alignment in the third round,

103
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden we're slipping down the

104
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: board and we don't have that wide out right.

105
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: It's an afterthought, although you would think that would change

106
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: with McCarthy being offensive minded as opposed to.

107
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: Tomlin needing to have three wide receivers on the field.

108
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: He's living in eleven person, which means you need to

109
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: have four. Yeah, five, you need to have five on

110
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 3: your team, and I more than that. Even so, so

111
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 3: you know.

112
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 2: You don't think there's any way they're interested in Tyreek kill.

113
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: Nah, I don't think they're gonna go that way. I

114
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: think they're gonna go in the drafts. I really hope

115
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: that they're gonna attack it with two draft picks, premium

116
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: draft picks at day one and a day two.

117
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

118
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: Well, my advice to you is is hope in one

119
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: hand defecating the other and see which one fills up first.

120
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: Regarding that, I bet he'll doesn't play this season tom

121
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: coming off that knee. And I bet what he does play,

122
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: maybe he goes back to Kansas City at a cheap

123
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: price because Reid and Mahomes could could reel him in.

124
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: That'd be his best chance to be good again, despite

125
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: his age and despite that knee.

126
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: Yeah that knee.

127
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: It happened kind of mid season, right, So I bet

128
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 3: you he could come back towards the middle of the year.

129
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: But to your point, he probably gets through the entire

130
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: free agency cycle without anybody you know, biting on him, right.

131
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody will want to bring him in,

132
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: you know, rehab him and then gamble on him. That way,

133
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: They're gonna want to see how this plays out and

134
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: see if he's gonna be able to come back on

135
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: his own. So maybe like a mid season acquisition Kansas

136
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 3: City makes a ton of sense, especially if they're gonna struggle.

137
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: Again this year to get explosive playmakers.

138
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 1: Opnack's gonna talk about Tyson versus Mayweather. Yep, they're gonna

139
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 1: do that, and then Rosy versus Toronto in Women's MMA

140
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: ROSSI Coming Back. Jake Paul ruined combat sports. He made

141
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: what used to be real, at least partly fake. What

142
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: five ninety X that funny Tom Mike Tyson is gonna

143
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: fight Floyd Mayweather in the Congo that's coming up in

144
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: a couple months. Tyson is fifty nine, Mayweather is forty eight.

145
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: This seems absolutely farcical.

146
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question.

147
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: I guess a clear money grabs who from Floyd Mayweather,

148
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: who has gotten paid so much money over his career.

149
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: How could you puss money need it? I don't know.

150
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: I don't know why he would need it.

151
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but these guys keep score by money, That's true,

152
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: even if they don't need it. You know, it just

153
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: adds on to the pole and they glory and it

154
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: like Scrooge McDuck swimming in the money vault.

155
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they also probably crave a little bit of

156
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 3: the spotlight too as part of that equation, right, like

157
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: being it might even be a bigger part of it.

158
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: Scrolling social media and seeing it all over the place.

159
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: Now Mayweather versus Tyson, my name of Floyd Mayler's back,

160
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: it's such a joke. I won't watch. I haven't watched

161
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: any of these celebrity fights, to be honest with you.

162
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: No, no, nor have I.

163
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: Uh and it should be remember Tyson and Jake Paul

164
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: fought YEP, just a couple of years ago, and by

165
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: all accounts, that was awful and this certainly doesn't figure

166
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: to be any better. What did Tyson get younger? Did

167
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: he restore any of his ability? Which clearly by all

168
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: accounts because I did not watch, but it was missing

169
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: against Jake Paul.

170
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: And as great as Floyd Mayweather was in his prime,

171
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: he was a very boring boxer to watch, Mark.

172
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: I mean, it was all about the finesse.

173
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 3: Watching all of it was defense, Like you don't want

174
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: to see that with a fight now sometimes, you know,

175
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 3: I'm sure and this was before my time, but I've

176
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: heard the stories. You know, you'd buy these big pay

177
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: per view fights. Tyson would come out and knock the

178
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: guy out in two seconds and it's like, oh, our

179
00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: night's over.

180
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: I was there when he did that to Oliver McCall,

181
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: I forget how short it was, but it was short.

182
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: No thing shorter than the fight was Tom Cruise. He

183
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: was like, sitting in front.

184
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: Of us, you need some big punches, but you need

185
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: to be able to withstand him. It can't be over

186
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: within that first round. So Mayweather never gave you that

187
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: in his fight. So he was a boring fighter to

188
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: begin with. Now he's old good talker. Oh yeah, just promo.

189
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: But yeah.

190
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: I think Mayweather is exemplary and probably in the first

191
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: wave of athletes like this who didn't regard what they

192
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: do as entertainment. It was just about winning, period, and

193
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: he chose the best way to win. He was nearly

194
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: unbeatable because Mayweather was nearly unhittable. But in another side

195
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: of that coin, you have Jake Paul, who I mean,

196
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: he's an influencer. Everyone knows who he is. But I

197
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: don't like that Jake Paul has made boxing seem fake.

198
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: I feel like elements of his fight are a work.

199
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: It's mostly showbiz. You know, if you're Jake Paul, after

200
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: all these fights, fight the champ, whoever that is, fight

201
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: a real fight at long last.

202
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: Do you think it was Jake Paul that really you

203
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: know ignited this fire, but did the spark get you know,

204
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: lit with the Mayweather McGregor fight when they had that

205
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: crossover with UFC, you.

206
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: Know, that should have been a great fight, but it

207
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. Honestly, I watched that they made McGregor purely box.

208
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: There was no melding of the sports.

209
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: Right.

210
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: If they would have been each allowed to use their styles,

211
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: I think McGregor would have beat him, would have taken

212
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: him down and choked him out.

213
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: But Maywether want to know part of that. But I

214
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: say that was just the spark of it.

215
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: And then Paul came across with a giant canccer of

216
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 3: gasoline and poured it all over it. Because at least

217
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: those were two fighters, those were two accomplished combat sports,

218
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: you know, at the top of their game, athletes that

219
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 3: were really at the top of his game at that

220
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: at that point, you're right, yeah, but he still got

221
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 3: the better of him because they let him box. But

222
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: still it was such a spectacle. And then I think

223
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 3: from there people saw how that played and it was

224
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: just like, it's more about the spectacle and not the

225
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: actual fight.

226
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: Well, how did Jake Paul get a foothold to fight.

227
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: That's a great question. I can't recall.

228
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: Because I some at some point had to be the

229
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: first you know, promoter Netflix wherever he fights, I don't know,

230
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: but had to be the.

231
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: First to take him seriously.

232
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I know he was a streamer with

233
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: his brother and that's how they got famous, and then

234
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: he just decided to become a boxer, and they kind of,

235
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: I think, strategically stacked the deck against some opponents that

236
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: he could build a record.

237
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: I think a lot of what he does is a work. Yeah.

238
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: I think Tyson versus Jake Paul was a total work.

239
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: No.

240
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: I think that there's people that said to that the

241
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: contracts said that Tyson.

242
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: Might think that that was designed for Tyson to fight

243
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: kind of to let Jake Paul win and extend and

244
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: even increase Jake Paul's money making capacity.

245
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: Do you think this would be a work Mayweather versus Tyson. No,

246
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 2: I think Jake Paul's the con in all this.

247
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: I think the Weather and Tyson will probably legitimately fight

248
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: bit rather poorly and slowly.

249
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

250
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: And I think Mayweather, I mean, he wouldn't be able

251
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: to dodge, you know, a boxer in their prime anymore.

252
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: But he'll be able to dodge old man Mike Tyson.

253
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: Tyson dies in the ring, which is his possibility far fetched.

254
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: I think he's in pretty good shape, you know, And

255
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be mostly a cardio workout between Mayweather.

256
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 3: Like I said, you're gonna be chasing him around the

257
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: rink or the ring a lot. So there's not like

258
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: a question of a drago left hook coming at Mike

259
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: Tyson to knock him out. In fact, Tyson would be

260
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 3: the one that would probably deliver that dies he dies.

261
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think Jake Paul again is the

262
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: villain and all this, and the excuse on his behalf

263
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: is look at how much money he makes. Okay, but

264
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: he's made boxing into a joke. I don't even know

265
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: who the heavyweight champ is right now, Tom, do you know.

266
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there doesn't seem to be a name boxer,

267
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: but everybody knows Jake Paul the influencer. It's fake sports,

268
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: like the Savannah Bananas. It's sports for stooges, like the

269
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: Savannah Bananas. I thought it was cute when I first

270
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: saw them. Now I'm very much anti.

271
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 3: The last fight that I can remember that I actually

272
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: watched boxing wise, was Tyson Fury versus Deontay Wilder, and

273
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: I think that was the third time that they actually fought.

274
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: Those are two names that come to my mind just

275
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: because I remember watching the fight now was in like

276
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, twenty one, I think. But you're right, like,

277
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: I don't know who the current heavyweight champ is.

278
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: You don't.

279
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 3: You don't see fights like that pop up to go

280
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: and buy unless it's featuring Jake Paul or it's Chad

281
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: Ocho Cinco versus James Harrison. That's just seemingly the route

282
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 3: that they're going down.

283
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: Here, here's the champs, Alexander Music. Don't know that guy

284
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: is WBA, WBC and IBF. A guy named Fabio Wardley

285
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: is the champion of the WBO.

286
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: Whatever that is. No cleuar who those people are. Never

287
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: seen them fight as side. Everybody knows who Jake Paul is.

288
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, but boxing was kind of fading anyway right in

289
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: general before Jake Paul came along because it.

290
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 2: Wasn't what it used. Heisen Thury was a bit of

291
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: a name, it.

292
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: Was no doubt, and the Wilder fights with him were decent,

293
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: and you had the De La Hoya versus Mayweather fights too.

294
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: I think that was what in like the twenty two nine.

295
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: I've often reminisced Tom Old men like re remember when

296
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: the three biggest sports in America were baseball, boxing and

297
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: horse racing, and we're the only ones that really counted

298
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: up until Super Bowl three, when name I guaranteed it,

299
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: he followed through, pulled the upset in the league's merged.

300
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: That was the catalyst. But before that it was baseball,

301
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: boxing and horse racing.

302
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: So in a way, since boxing fell from such an

303
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: epic height, it's kind of an easy mark to con

304
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: right if you're Jake Paul, because you'd think, like, oh,

305
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 3: we want to get back in that spot. They want

306
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 3: to do whatever we can. We love boxing, and Jake,

307
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: here's Jake Paul. I'm not sure boxing's real happy about this.

308
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: I think Jake Paul's done this all he shows taking

309
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: it over, yeah, which which is another reason they're not

310
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: happy about it. We also have run to Rozzie's comeback

311
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: against Gina Carano.

312
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: Rozzie's thirty nine, Krano's forty three.

313
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: These are two big names, obviously past their primes, but

314
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: not nearly as much as Tyson and Mayweather.

315
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Gina Carano brings in when she was she

316
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: was on the Star Wars show on Disney and then

317
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: she came out and I think support of Trump, and

318
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: she got canceled from the show Formandalori. Yeah, from the Mandalorian.

319
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: So she brings that with her. Ronda Rowsey obviously one

320
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: of the most accomplished and probably the most well known

321
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: combat sport as sar as a woman is concerned, maybe

322
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 3: even in general.

323
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: Maybe, but she used to be it. She used to

324
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: be the name in mm A male or female. She

325
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: was unbeatable. But then she just got killed twice in

326
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: a row.

327
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: That the killed.

328
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I never thought she'd get killed that early

329
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: in her career, twice in a row to that degree.

330
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: Then she quit UFC to go to WWE. They all

331
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: want to go to w B. Logan Paul and w B.

332
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: You think he's good, though, Logan Paul, you think he's

333
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: not bad.

334
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: For a guy who just jumped in it and got

335
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: pushed and got big matches right away. Yeah, he's done

336
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: pretty well. I'm guessing he's he's a very good natural heel.

337
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm guessing Ronda is she was good because she had

338
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: great facial. She looked just mad all the time, and

339
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: she brought that air of credibility.

340
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: She didn't go in there. She wasn't perfect as.

341
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: A worker, but she did all mma spots, and again

342
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: she looked very serious.

343
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: So she put her I'm just passed. Though, there's no

344
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: she doesn't do it anymore, does she just stop?

345
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: She had a kid or kids, and she was in

346
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: the Entourage movie right as Turtle was pursuing her. Yes, yes, Turtle.

347
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: They ended up together at the end, and they ended

348
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: up in the ring the octagon.

349
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: Yes, she she like broke his elbow or something like that.

350
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: He wouldn't tap out. Yeah.

351
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: You know what sucks worst about Tyson versus Mayweather not

352
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: not Caron o' rowsey.

353
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: They're not ancient.

354
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: I kind of get that, but Tyson Mayweather people are

355
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna watch.

356
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, I mean you and I won't. But

357
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: it keeps drawing, and that's why they keep doing it.

358
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: If it if people just decided to not buy this,

359
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: if there was no market for it, then he would

360
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: just fade away. There would be no market for it,

361
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: but there clearly is. There's a ton of money to

362
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: be made for both of these guys.

363
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Obviously you like, I am tired of the Savannah bananas,

364
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: just stuff of that ILK.

365
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: I haven't been to a game yet, so I don't

366
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: want to say I'm all the way tired because I

367
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: kind of want to do it.

368
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: I kind of want to just be there.

369
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: With Savannah bananas are good highlights, they're bad games. I've

370
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: never been to a game either, but I saw a

371
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: full game on ESPN. I think it was from Fenway Park. Okay,

372
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: but that's on your couch, like I want to be

373
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: in the stade. Oh no. But it wasn't good because

374
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: not everything they do is that funny.

375
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: A lot of it falls.

376
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: If you see the highlights, all the spots that the

377
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: crowd sold, then it's good.

378
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: But an entire game, I didn't like it very much

379
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: when it suck.

380
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: If you went to a game and it was all misses,

381
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: they just didn't have a good little skit or bit

382
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 3: that they were doing.

383
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: And another thing with them is once you've seen it,

384
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: you've seen it. And I don't think they have the

385
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: star power charisma. I don't know but now but that

386
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: the Harlem Globe Trotters used to have with guys like

387
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: Meadowlark Glemon and currently Neil name guys and they would

388
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: they would run in the occasional. I mean way back

389
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: when will chances with the Globetrotter Connie Hawk As I'm

390
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: watching that ABA documentary when he was banned because of

391
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: his very peripheral involvement in a gambling scandal, he played

392
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: for the Globetrotters.

393
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's been some infusion with the bananas too,

394
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: though with MLB players are bite Case blew out his

395
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 3: leg round in first base.

396
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: But they have the they have the local guy come

397
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: in and I like that work a spot.

398
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: I'm just not tired of him, I guess to answer,

399
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 2: I just know yet.

400
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: I just don't like that their emblematic of where sports

401
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: is headed.

402
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: Well, that is true, Like I could see that becoming

403
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: like the mainstream kind of sport and.

404
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 1: In the in the young people. Young people suck as

405
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: we know one, yeah you suck, thank you, But it's

406
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: just like the battle cry, it's fun. We're just having fun.

407
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: Why kids a good time?

408
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: Mark?

409
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: There's a difference between fun and making a joke out

410
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: of something.

411
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: One oh five nine The X. Listen to the X

412

Speaker 2: The Mark one X.

418
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: Penguins back to practicing, obviously without the guys who were

419
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: still at the Olympics. Chrys Latang, who had been hurt,

420
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: he was out there today. And Philip Hallander, who had

421
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: been sideline long term with the blood clot was practicing.

422
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: Not sure what he would add if he returns, but

423
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: it's nice to hear that he was out there. I

424
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: got a shout out to North Hills High School boys basketball,

425
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: lost in the first round of the Whippel playoffs last night.

426
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: To Amani Christian Boy. Those guys could run the floor,

427
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: just took the tempo way high. The score at the

428
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: end of the first quarter was twenty six twenty five, Imani,

429
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: that's fifty one points in a high school quarter, an

430
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: eight minute quarter. At the end of the day, North

431
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: Hills couldn't quite keep up, but good season by them.

432
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 1: I'll be out there soon to talk about my mom's

433
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: scholarship for kids trying to pursue careers in communications, and

434
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: I saw Eric Casprovitch, who came back home to North

435
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: Hills to coach next season, won a state title as

436
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback there many moons ago when I covered high

437
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: school sports for the Post Gazette. So despite the loss,

438
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: a good night out at North Hills High School. You

439
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: know what's already a thing, Tom. I saw it on

440
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: ESPN this morning. When is Aaron Rodgers going to decide?

441
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: I touched on that at show's beginning. Would it surprise

442
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: you if he takes his time, goes past free agency? Well,

443
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they could afford to let him go

444
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: past the draft. But the Steelers are once again going

445
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: to be held hostage by a washed up forty two

446
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: year old by grandpa game manager. And I just can't

447
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: believe they would do that again. I can't believe they

448
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: did it the first time.

449
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: If it gets into a free agency, I'll be mildly surprised.

450
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 3: If it goes to the draft and we get through

451
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 3: the draft and we still don't have an answer and

452
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 3: they're still speaking as if it's a possibility, I'll be

453
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: pretty stunned. To be honest with you, I know we

454
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: just did that last year. But I just feel like

455
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 3: if it's a different circumstance this year. I know Rogers

456
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 3: has to decide to come back and play for a

457
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 3: different coach technically, but he's familiar with that coach. He's

458
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: familiar with playing for the Steels.

459
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: Tom, there's nothing to decide. He could decide today if

460
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: he wants to. He just wants to be the center

461
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: of discussion all the time, and he got his wish.

462
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: Like I said today on ESPN, there was spirited conversation

463
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: and you know he's watching.

464
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 2: He loves that.

465
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think it will drag out for a

466
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: couple of more weeks here, it'll get towards that start

467
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: of legal tamp.

468
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: To me, Tom, I tell him that you got to

469
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: decide by free agency, because if it goes past the

470
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: start of free agency and you don't go get anybody,

471
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: and how could you If you're waiting for Rogers, then

472
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: your plan B is Mason Rudolph and Will Howard And

473
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: if you don't want to waste a season, Although like

474
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: I keep saying, I would start Howard in Hope for

475
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: three and fourteen.

476
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 3: I would put a cutoff date before that legal tampering too.

477
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: Play a little bit of hardball with him, because I would.

478
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: Be I would say, forty eight hours before the start

479
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: of legal tam I'd be worried.

480
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: If you said on to the eleventh, the actual start

481
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 3: day after legal tampering, that he'd be getting some DMS right,

482
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 3: or he'd be talking to some other teams.

483
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: See, I'm not.

484
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: Cunning out the possibility of him double crossing the Steelers

485
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: and going someplace else if the right offer for a team,

486
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: not money offer, but a team that could give him

487
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: a better chance at winning.

488
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: So I think it's more than fair for the Steelers

489
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: to put a little pressure on him and say March

490
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 3: ninth is the start of legal tampering, March eighth, that's

491
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 3: your cutof date, or like you said, forty eight hours,

492
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: like March seventh, March sixth, we need to know by that.

493
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: I think it would be appropriate to put more than

494
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: a little pressure. I would say, listen, we need to

495
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: know by now, no March seventh, or you can g

496
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: f y. I would go past the little pressure. I mean,

497
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: this is just the way they let a guy who

498
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: only played mediocre last year, and you will probably play

499
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: even worse at age forty two going on forty three

500
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: this coming season.

501
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: The franchise should be.

502
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: Embarrassed by it that Aaron Rodgers has made the franchise

503
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: is bitch and is poised to do so yet again.

504
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: By the way, I hate Steelers talk in friggin mid February,

505
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: but I gotta wonder about the offensive line because one

506
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: thing that's not been talked about much is Isaac Ciamalo

507
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: was thirty two. He's still good, but he's a free

508
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: age and he made eight million on his last contract.

509
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: That's average annual value over three years. I would bring

510
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: him back for the same price. He's a glue guy

511
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: on that young line, but I wonder he's also the

512
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: kind of guy they normally let go at that age

513
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: and at that price. And James Daniels, who they had

514
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: a few seasons back, he got released by Miami. He's

515
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Maybe they go to him again. Maybe they

516
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: go to him again, or they don't even have to

517
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: do that. How do they feel about Spencer Anderson? You know,

518
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: is he long enough in his development to just take

519
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: over that left guard spot. I think, at least with

520
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: the previous coaching regime, that was kind of the plan

521
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: that they wanted. But who knows how this one is

522
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: going to look at it. I think eight million dollars.

523
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: There's no way in hell that Ciamali would get a raise.

524
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't think anywhere else.

525
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 2: So you s, I don't know. I don't think so.

526
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think someone would pay overpay for him.

527
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: He's a blut and guts veteran. He's a glue guy,

528
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: maybe a young offensive He is.

529
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: A leader at a position that doesn't spawn many leaders

530
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: that I've often talked about what a great leader Fanica

531
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: was when he played guard for the Steelers. You don't

532
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: see many guards that can assume that mantle, but Fanica did,

533
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: and to some degreasium.

534
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: Almost last two. Yeah, so young offensive line. Maybe in

535
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: a team that's got some money to spend, maybe goes

536
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: to nine to ten million.

537
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 3: But I even don't think that that breaks her back.

538
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, I think it's a really

539
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: good idea to pay and bring him back in. The

540
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: line developed really well this year.

541
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: I do too. You mentioned Spencer Anderson. You know what else?

542
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: I would not count out Tom. They could start dialing

543
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: cook somewhere. Oh, because he played okay at the end

544
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: of last year. He's an undrafted free agent. So they've

545
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: romanticized that part of it that they can look smart

546
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: by quote unquote finding somebody. He's six six three oh five,

547
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: so he's got the size, but he's been cut four times.

548
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: It's a wonder he ain't bled to death. But him

549
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: starting based on having had a few good games after

550
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: Broderick Jones got hurt. That strikes me as a very

551
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: steelery thing to do.

552
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does.

553
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 3: But the kind of out that I keep thinking with

554
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: all of these kind of things is, yeah, sure, the

555
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,479
Speaker 3: front office, I think would think that, and they'd be like, well,

556
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: we'd like to find this diamond and the rough and

557
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 3: Dylan and the Dylan Cook. But it's a new coaching staff,

558
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 3: it's a new offensive line coach.

559
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: You know.

560
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 3: He could just get eyes on this cookuy and say

561
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: I don't like him at all. I don't want him

562
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 3: at all.

563
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a factor here, depends how much things actually change.

564
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 2: But yet you're probably right.

565
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: There's an element to that there that could exist, I'm saying,

566
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 3: but there's definitely an element to what you're saying too,

567
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 3: where MacCarthy could just be like, yeah, Dylan Cook, what

568
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 3: a great story brings.

569
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: Along those lines, Tom, What's gonna happen with Broderick Jones.

570
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: I assume he starts at left tackle, having recovered from injuries,

571
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're going to pick up his

572
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: fifth year option, and I think he'll be another one

573
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: in a in a long line, albeit recently, of Steeler

574
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: first round picks who don't get a second contract.

575
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: Do you think if he has even just a decent

576
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 3: and healthy year next year at left tackle, Like I'm

577
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 3: not even saying he's great, but just puts together schedule

578
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 3: of seventeen games and plays adequately, they'll sign him just

579
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: to kind of get away from that, because that is.

580
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: Really yea, they have to pick up his fifth year

581
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: option before I think the dates coming up with if

582
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: they wanted, they brought him back for a one year

583
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: deal exactly, didn't pick up his options, so I could

584
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: see that. But by the same token, if he puts

585
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: together seventeen games, he's a left tackle. Look at the

586
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: deal Dan Moore Junior got with Tennessee. He sucked and

587
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: he got a big money deal.

588
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: So would you think it's an educated risk to then

589
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: pick up the fifth year option if you're the Steelers.

590
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that that ownership wise or management wise,

591
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: they have the Vegas clue what they're doing. I'm going

592
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: to talk about that at three o'clock when I'm gonna,

593
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, list just six grievous errors they've made since

594
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen that have had major negative impact on this

595
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: franchise and uh and Broderck Jones without without spoiling what

596
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: I say at three, Roderick Jones is part of that

597
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: because they drafted him to be the guy, then did

598
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: every everything they could to make sure he wasn't.

599
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: They just never put him in a position to succeed.

600
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: What they should do Tom is bring back Zach Banner

601
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: who just retired, maybe because he hasn't played since twenty

602
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: twenty one and nobody asked him to. It makes it

603
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: very easy to retire, albeit being quite ani climaced. It

604
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: reminds me of how I retired from wrestling after about

605
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: ten years of nobody asking me to work in it again.

606
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: You know, you know what I mean. It's really easy

607
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: to do that. It's easy to be a virgil when

608
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: nobody wants to screw you, which maybe I've said too much.

609
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: Did you officially retire from wrestling? I'm kind of thing. Okay, perfect,

610
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: I didn't know if you officially put that to bed.

611
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 3: Zach Banner too, he's just capitalizing on the fact that

612
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 3: he got a little bit of play with those comments,

613
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 3: with the Ben and Porter remarks. He was in the comments.

614
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 3: There no one else when he pack tracked for Ben.

615
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: What was his gimmick?

616
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: Wasn't he the tackle eligible guy they are reporting eligible?

617
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 2: F him?

618
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: I think this generation of Steelers have had a bunch

619
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: of guys who were just a big ass. I mean,

620
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: he was a useless player, had that gimmick of the

621
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: tackle eligible, ran his moth too much, did some TV stuff.

622
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: I just think he is emblematic in some ways of

623
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: a generation of Steelers who refuse to see themselves as

624
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: they really are, or lie to themselves or both.

625
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 3: It's an entire decade of not winning a playoff game,

626
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 3: I mean, that's all you have to say. As far

627
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: as the accomplishments of the Steelers that have played throughout

628
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 3: that decade, that's such a long time. That's Browns and

629
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 3: Jets esque.

630
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you look at the Steelers and we'll obviously

631
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: have to do this more and more, God.

632
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: Damn, I especially with Rogers holding us hostage again.

633
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: I hate I just hate talk. But the Steelers have

634
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: a lot of holes. It's not a very good depth

635
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: chart at all at all. Don't forget a three PM.

636
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: I'll be telling you I was gonna just go with

637
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: five because that's the kind of round number. But there's

638
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: actually six grievous mistakes the Steelers have made since twenty

639
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: nineteen that have really, you know, put the organization in

640
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: a hole. And that doesn't even include some of the

641
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: minor stuff, like you know, the failed Mitch Trubisky experiment.

642
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not even on my list here, So

643
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

644
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: I think that the assumption that the Rooneys know what

645
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: they're doing, Tom, I just don't think these ruonies do.

646
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: I want to talk just a smidge of hockey here.

647
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: Most people I know want Sweden to get upset by

648
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: Latvia so the US gets an easier quarterfinal. I want

649
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: to see Sweden wins so we finally see a good

650
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: game in these Olympics, which we've not seen many of.

651
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: And I've come to realize I want to talk about

652
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: this at length later. You know, I always kind of

653
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: smirk about the four Nations, and it was a four

654
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: team tournament in the US took the result too seriously, finishing second. Well,

655
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: if the US did take the result too seriously, But

656
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: I'd take the four Nations over this tournament anytime, because

657
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: every game was a good team playing another good team.

658
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: It was competitive hockey. This tournament has just been so

659
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: boring to this point. So I share your sentiment that

660
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: I want Sweden to win today and have a good

661
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: matchup at least on paper against Team USA. I also

662
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: don't like, I'm not bleeding, you know, red, white and

663
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 3: blue right now for Team USA to win this.

664
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: I want them to. I'm not you.

665
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: I'm not rooting for Canada in this tournament. I'm rooting

666
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 3: for Team USA. But I don't care as much as

667
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 3: my club teams, Like I just want the Penguins to

668
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 3: be back, Like I'm just craving February twenty sixth right now.

669
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the same way. I'm even more so in football,

670
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: the real football. Like if you told me that the

671
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: US could win the World Cup or Liverpool could win

672
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: the League Cup, which is the lowest of their you know,

673
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: trophies they compete for.

674
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: I take the League Cup any day. Yeah, I'd get

675
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 2: to go to Wembley.

676
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, obviously, any Penguins fan is not a

677
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: true Penguins fan that would say I'd look to see

678
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: tom Usa win the gold here instead of the Penguins

679
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 3: win the Cup. That's just a stupid response. How about

680
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 3: this for Team Sweden though Eliot Freeman tweeted this out recently.

681
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: No Rasmus Anderson, Jessper Bratt or Gustavson today for them.

682
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 3: They're not even dressed, but they're scratched. Yes, bizarre move

683
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: from the Swedes.

684
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: Well, another reason I want to see Swingen versus the US.

685
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: Eric Carlson against Mike Sullivan. Let the bodies hit the floor.

686
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: One O five nine The X.

687
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: It's The Woody Show weekday mornings at six. Of course

688
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: X music on the X. Kind of a rough morning.

689
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: I've been having some digestive problems, so I had to

690
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: give a stool sample to Quest Diagnostics.

691
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: You you do that at home.

692
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: I had to, you know, crap in like this bowl

693
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: you put over the toilet. Sorry if this is too graphic,

694
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: but I had to do it so you can hear

695
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: about it. And then you have to scoop it into vials.

696
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: Six different vials in this case, including two that you

697
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: have to freeze until you take back to Quest diagnostics,

698
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: which I did today. Always great to sacrifice both your

699
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: dignity and a sense of smell in the same window.

700
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: And uh, in that.

701
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: Vein, I'll be talking about six absolutely egregious stakes the

702
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: Steelers have made since twenty nineteen that have really damaged

703
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: the franchise. I think you think this is still a

704
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: good organization that knows what it's doing. When you hear

705
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: these six mistakes they've made piled on top of each other.

706
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: You'd have to be stupid to not think differently.

707
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: But then again, I realize a lot of you are

708
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: indeed stupid or at least Mars Tom, you.

709
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: And your wife got married at fifteen or whatever it was.

710
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: That's right.

711
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: What do you make of Connor Griffin being married at nineteen?

712
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: It seems like missed opportunity on his part.

713
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: I wish I had millions of dollars in the bank

714
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 3: account already when I was nineteen years old. Then I

715
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: probably would have gotten married with my wife that young. Yeah,

716
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 3: I had to wait until we're like, what twenty six

717
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: years old to get it done.

718
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: I will say this, it's his high school sweetheart, which

719
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: when you're nineteen, there's no other kind of sweetheart. Correct,

720
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: he knows he can trust her. That's a great point.

721
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: He was there before he became the number one player,

722
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: right exactly. I know a hockey player who shall remain nameless,

723
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: played for the Blackhocks, real good player, and he dumped

724
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: his high school sweetheart at some point for the for

725
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: the gold digger that chased him around super hot and

726
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: they're still married. But he's broke because he just spent

727
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: it and spent it and spent it and spent it.

728
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I mean good for Connor Griffin. Like

729
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: I said, he won't need the swimming lessons to keep

730
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: from drowning in vagina. Tom, what do we got for

731
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: the trifecta?

732
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 3: For today's trifecta, Today's Marty gram Mark, also known as

733
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: Fat Tuesdays. Yes, so we're gonna go with some of

734
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 3: the heftier best athletes that have ever existed for today's

735
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: Fat Tuesday. Yes, number three, I'm gonna go with Shaq,

736
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 3: who clucked in at over four hundred pounds at one

737
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: point when he was playing basketball. He did, Yes, he did.

738
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: That was towards the end of his career when he

739
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 3: was in his suite, Yes he did.

740
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: He was an active NBA player at.

741
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: A lot he was huge, Mark seven over seven feet

742
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: tall and just a big fatso out there, especially later

743
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: in his career, but when he was on the Lakers.

744
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 3: I mean his prime weight was over three hundred for sure.

745
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: You don't you disagree with that? I think about how

746
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 3: big he is too, just to pure height wise.

747
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: So okay, you know what I remember Shack most from

748
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: because I don't watch US basketball, is the movie Blue Chips.

749
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: But he was young in that movie. He was what

750
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: did he weigh in?

751
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: That was college Shack. That's a little bit different. Yeah,

752
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: that was right when he was coming three.

753
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 3: He was coming out of college and drafted to the

754
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: Orlando Magic, so he was a little bit more in shape.

755
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: At that point. Okay, lay it on me. Who else?

756
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: Number two? And by the way, I should have said

757
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: no American football players were allowed on this list because

758
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 2: it's just kind of stupid, unless he wanted to put

759
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: bussy on, right, because fat is part of the game strength.

760
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah in a lot of cases.

761
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: Number two though, in the other football, the real football,

762
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 3: Ronaldo not Cristiano.

763
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but he he was only fat near the

764
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 1: very end. He wasn't really too good when he was fat.

765
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: Really he was on Madrid, wasn't anyone? He was still

766
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: pretty big. I mean I'm seeing pictures of it here

767
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 3: on the internet.

768
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: Define big. I mean he wasn't shacked. But well, that's

769
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: the thing to here with this list.

770
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: There's not like you know, truly unless you want me

771
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 3: to put like Cecil Fielder and Prince Fielder on this list.

772
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: Why didn't you?

773
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 3: I wanted to spread it out and the baseball one's

774
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: got to be Babe Ruth? Who is number one?

775
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: Have you what?

776
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: No? He was me?

777
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 2: You screwed, You screwed the list. You think Babe Ruth

778
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 2: isn't fat?

779
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: Oh you think that the John Goodman version of Babe

780
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:15,959
Speaker 1: Ruth in that bad movie.

781
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 3: No, I'm looking at pictures of Babe Ruth right now

782
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 3: in my computer and he's fat.

783
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: No, yes he is. No, he wasn't. He's a fat guy.

784
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: He screwed this list. No, he's fat. Babe Ruth is fat. Fine,

785
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: people agree with me?

786
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 2: You're fine?

787
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: One hundred dollars I don't have that. Then two hundred.

788
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: That's that's the trifecta. Brought to us by Danny's Peach

789
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: and Hogies family owned and operated since nineteen sixty. That's

790
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: on Route eighty eight and Bethel Park. You can owe

791
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 1: me two hundred making two fifty. Don't give me that, Okay?

792
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: At the iou like a dumb and dumber No, you

793
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: know what I'll do. I'll just tell a charity you're contributing.

794
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: And then when I don't it right right, it looks like.

795
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: You stiffed the charity. Terrorism.

796
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: I like it wasn't fat Prince Fielder, Cecil Fielder much fat.

797
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: They were huge Daniel Vogelbach. Do you want me to

798
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 2: put him on the list.

799
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: Plus, I was.

800
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 3: Going with the greatest fattest athletes, like you had to

801
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 3: be amazing at your sport.

802
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth wasn't fat. Ronaldo very brief Well, Babe Ruth

803
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: was fat at the very end.

804
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 2: He's fat. Baby Ruth was just fat.

805
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: You're just you're you're wrong. You're be smirching an all

806
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: time great and I won't stay it.

807
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 2: Oh, I was smirching it. He's one of the best

808
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: baseball players ever. You called him fat? Us fat guys,

809
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: we stick together. Tom.

810
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: I want to talk a bit more about Olympic hockey

811
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: because obviously, we're gonna watch up Latvia and Sweden about

812
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: ten minutes, which will ruin the show. I won't be

813
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: paying attention at all pretty much. I think we've done

814
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: a good first hour to make up for that though,

815
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: But but again, I still can't get excited. We got

816
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: Germany against Slovakia in one quarter, switch them against Finland

817
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: a one quarter, Canada against Chechia, which will be a route.

818
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: The only good game would be the US and Sweden

819
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: if Sweden beats Latvia. And wouldn't it be just typical

820
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: with this tournament if Latvia beats Sweden.

821
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 3: Yes, especially with the weird like we said in the

822
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 3: last thing, with some of the weird scratches that Sweden

823
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: is having in this game and laughing has got an

824
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 3: NHL caliber Goolian already. I don't know if he's officially starting,

825
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 3: but even if it's Elvis, I mean, they could just

826
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 3: get hot and steal the game. And this tournament has

827
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: been kind of ruined to your point, like with Sweden

828
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,479
Speaker 3: falling into this round.

829
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: So I wonder if bracket Yeah, but at least we're

830
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: gonna see a good game today. I mean, how many

831
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: good games we've seen? Good games between Division three nations.

832
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: But who cares?

833
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, like Switzerland and Denmark plays gives a freak that's

834
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 3: for fifth place right there?

835
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, But but yeah, I just and like when

836
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: I have Pierre on later, I'm going to talk as

837
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: if the US and Canada are a fade a company.

838
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 2: To make the fight.

839
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna preview a game that is still two wins

840
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: for each team away.

841
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 2: But I think that makes for better radio.

842
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: By the way, you know what worry me about a

843
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: gold medal game between the US and Canada, Tom, It

844
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: could get ugly. I could see the Kachooks and Tom

845
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: Wilson taking runs, maybe even a fight in the third

846
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: period if the game's decided. Because of what happened last

847
00:36:59,239 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: year in the.

848
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 2: Four Nations, the risk of fighting, of course, would be

849
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: getting thrown out of the gold medal game.

850
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 3: So yeah, that would be guarded at least until the end.

851
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: If the game was in hand, you were up by

852
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: you know, three goals, then you could have that happen.

853
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 2: But I bet it does get ugly.

854
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 3: I bet they say, you know, IOC rules be damned

855
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 3: as far as you know them, kind of looking for

856
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: more skill hockey. We're gonna we're gonna take it to

857
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 3: the garage here.

858
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this more tomorrow, but but well, actually,

859
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: can the Canada game will be Canada.

860
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 2: Is like a ten forty that'll be over. Yeah, that'll

861
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: be wrapped up around like twelve thirty, and then it's

862
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: USA at three ten. If you're Canada, what would you

863
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 2: do with McKinnon.

864
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: Would you play on McDavid's line or I'm center's own line,

865
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: because they've kind of alternated between doing that.

866
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's even a wrong answer, to

867
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: be honest with you, they're just so damn good.

868
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 3: I would keep the Monster line together. I would keep

869
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 3: McKennon and McDavid together. And you have so much depth.

870
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: The thing is, like Edzo said, in a game against

871
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: the US, Sully could match Ikle in the Kuchucks against

872
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: that line. I don't think it stopped them, but it

873
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: didn't make like difficult for them. But as we know

874
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: here in Pittsburgh, Sully doesn't believe in matching lines because

875
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: he's not good at it. And that's kind of what

876
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: I think is a hidden truth. Had I had a

877
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: coach in the NHL who is very adept at matching lines,

878
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: when I told him Sally doesn't like to do it.

879
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 2: He said, he just doesn't know how.

880
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 3: And then they do that, Say, Sullivan pulls that card

881
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 3: out and he matches up with them. So then they

882
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 3: just throw Sid, Marner and Stone over the boards and

883
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: they have two points between them, two goals in the

884
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 3: net between With that line.

885
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just so deep.

886
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: I think if you can contain the McDavid line, which

887
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: is much easier said than done, but that's true too.

888
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: But I think that's your best chance to be Canada.

889
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: I think we're going to look back at this Olympics

890
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: and Canada will have killed everybody and will lie about

891
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: how special it was. But the only thing special about

892
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: these games will probably wind up being Canada. Up next,

893
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: I slammer the Steelers for the terrible moves they made

894
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen, except it's not slander when it's true

895
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: one five ninety x
