1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: After careful consideration, here's what the Steelers ought to do 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: at quarterback. And it's a simple and obvious plan, but 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: it just goes against their grain, which means it goes 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: against yours too, because you're a bunch of sheep who 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: think this franchise never puts a foot long, even though 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: it's not won a playoff game in nine years. First off, 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: the Steeler should sign Malik Willis, the free agent back 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: up in Green Bay this past season. Didn't play much, 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: but played real well when he did. He's twenty six, 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: and he's got the mobility that is a requirement for 11 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: success at quarterback in today's NFL. He's come a long 12 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: way since being a third round pick got at Liberty 13 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,639 Speaker 1: Liberty back in twenty twenty two. You'd have to pay 14 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: him about forty million total on a two year deal. 15 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: Then you draft the quarterback in the first round this 16 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: year or more likely next year. And a key to 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: this plan is forget about Aaron Rodgers. You want Willis now, 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: and then the guy you draft this year or next year. 19 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: And if Mike McCarthy is the quarterback whisperer we pretend 20 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: he is, he should be able to hit on one 21 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: out of two. Right, either make Willis the guy or 22 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: make the draft pick the guy. Should be able to 23 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: hit on one out of two. My plan gives the 24 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: Steelers two potential pass out of the quarterback wilderness. Willis 25 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: in the draft pick. Rogers is a no hoper. He's 26 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: forty two, gonna be forty three, can't move, scared to 27 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: get hit. It's wasting a season. It doesn't move forward. 28 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: Art always says they don't want to waste a season. Well, 29 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: you've wasted a decade, dummy, and now you're gonna waste 30 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: this season with Grandpa game manager. And it's simple to 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: see wise because you and the con artist don't know 32 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: what you're doing. Mike McCarthy does. He just won a 33 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: job and he got it. Think about this. Ben Roethlisberger 34 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: retired after the twenty twenty one season, and the Steelers 35 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: still aren't close to solving their quarterback problem. It's the 36 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: most important position in football, and the Steelers' lack of 37 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: acumen in regards to QB is scary and embarrassing. So 38 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: that's my plan. It's the right plan. They won't do it. 39 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: I'm right, they're wrong, I'm smart, they're stupid and at best, 40 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna go ten and seven again. They are sacrificing 41 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: a higher ceiling, not just this coming year, but for 42 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: the long run, sacrificing the higher ceiling for the cowardly 43 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: security of a higher floor. Let's now talk to Tommy Radio. 44 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: Tom My plan is so obvious, but it's just as 45 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: obvious why the Steelers won't do it, and not least 46 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: because signing Willis would highlight the mistake they made drafting 47 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: Picket in the first round the same year, and because 48 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: it wouldn't guarantee mediocrity at worst in twenty twenty six. 49 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: No, you could absolutely have a four win season with 50 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 2: Malik Willis. It isn't a guarantee that he's going to 51 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: be some great quarterback. But I do like that path 52 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: forward that you laid out there because it gives me 53 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 2: two lottery tickets in my hand that I'm scratching off here. 54 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: It's better than lottery tickets. 55 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 2: It's it's educated risk with Willis. I guess it's only 56 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: even three games with him, though. I mean people are 57 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: overblowing him big time. 58 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, people are overblowing Rogers too. He was mediocre best 59 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: last year and mostly not even that don't. 60 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: Get me wrong. 61 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: I don't want to jump into the Rogers ten either. 62 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: So I'll take Malik Willis. I'll give that a shot 63 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: him and relying on him. No, if it fails, you 64 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: get the draft pick. 65 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: Right exactly Like I said, we got the famous quarterback 66 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: whisperer from Greenfield. He should be able to figure it 67 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: out with one of them, shouldn't he. 68 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: And as far as the second part with when you 69 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: draft that pick, I would just pass on it this year. 70 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: Just go with Malik Willis this year, address other areas 71 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: in the draft, mainly wide receiver with that first round pick. 72 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: And then they're just not gonna do it though we 73 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: know this plan isn't going to come. Bring it back, 74 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: Grandpa game manager. Yeah, and I apparently. 75 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: And this is so funny because we're starting to see 76 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: the media start to say, like, well, it could happen soon. 77 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: You know, they said a month after the exit meeting, 78 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: and like that was last year, right, do you remember 79 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: last year. 80 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: I do think it's gonna happen, maybe none soon, but 81 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: I think it is a fade accomplish. 82 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: This is what we did last year. 83 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: Rapaport for like four weeks straight would come out be 84 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: like it's right around the corner. 85 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: Well, Mark sixth is free agency, right, that's I think 86 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: tampering starts right now. I would tell him he has 87 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: to decide before uh legal tampering starts. But but, but 88 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: my point about McCarthy should be well taken. If he's 89 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: the quarterback whisper, Yeah, don't give him an old, washed 90 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: up fossil to work with. Give him young guys he 91 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: can indeed develop. But if he can't, then he's not 92 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: the coach that you should have hired. 93 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: No question. 94 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: And honestly, something that you should be a little bit 95 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: worried about with McCarthy is how good is he at 96 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: identifying that quarterback that he can then make reach their ceiling. 97 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: Because Dak was given to him in Dallas and he 98 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: brought him to a new height. Credit to him for 99 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: doing that. He inherited Brett Favre and the Aaron Rodgers 100 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: situation in Green Bay and he was able to juggle 101 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: that masterfully, and kudos for him for that. But this 102 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 2: is a part of the equation that he hasn't done yet, 103 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: where you have to identify at first, where you have 104 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: to get that first part of it right before you 105 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 2: develop it. 106 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not saying I know for sure he could 107 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: do it. I mean, he old now, who knows what 108 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 1: he can and can't do. Coaches fade just like players fade. 109 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: But he loves the Steelers. 110 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: Mark, come on, Greenfield, they should get de Rizzo to 111 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: play quarterback. Then he's from Greenfield. No way to bring 112 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: Bulder out a retirement. I think he might be younger 113 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: than Rogers now, this would be great. Yes, he might 114 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: be now. Yeah again, I want to get back to 115 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: Rogers because bringing him back is insanity. It's abject stupidity. 116 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: The ceiling is low, the floor ain't that high. You're 117 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: asking him to be better at forty three than he 118 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: wasn't forty two. Actually, I guess he turns forty three 119 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: at the end of next season. But the point stance, 120 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: he's getting older and he won all that goodness past year. 121 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: Rogers says zero mobility and he won't take a hit 122 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: to make a play. Ever, another year with Rogers is 123 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: I keep saying, is another season not moving forward? 124 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: That's just it. 125 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: With the mobility thing too, and him not willing to 126 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 2: take a hit. With the full season sample size that 127 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: we got, it was clear as day that he did 128 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: a lot worse against teams that could bring the pain, 129 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: that could bring a good rush against him, he was 130 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: not as effective. Sure when he went up against Cincinnati, right, 131 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: he would rip the Bengals to shreds because there was 132 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: no threat of him really getting hit that much in 133 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: those games. 134 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: Ironically enough, he got hurt in one of the Bengals game, but. 135 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like it wasn't threatening like 136 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 2: the Seahawks game was or the Houston game. Almost do 137 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 2: have a decent pass rush, yeah, but it was just Hendrickson. 138 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: I mean, that was it and then that was all 139 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: that he had to worry about. Yeah, and the other 140 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 2: teams were tendas. 141 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: Some line for the Steelers wasn't terrible, but I mean 142 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: your point, Your point stands. 143 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: And the stats just bear it out. He was terrible 144 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 2: against all those teams. How high are you on Willis? 145 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like you are. You'd have to pay 146 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: him about forty mil, maybe a little more over two years, but. 147 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: I think it'd be worth that risk. In the NFL, 148 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: that's just not that much money. The risk is that 149 00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: he's barely played. 150 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: Even though I'm not that high on it. What I 151 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 2: would like about it is his mobility factor, because that's 152 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 2: the other thing you brought up with Rogers. 153 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 3: You need that in today. 154 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: That's your requirement. 155 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: It is game. 156 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean Matthew Stafford, he's the exception. 157 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: That proves the rule. He's grandfathered in. You know, he's 158 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: got the guard arm right. But even Donald Donald barely 159 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: ran this year for the Stox. I think he barely 160 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: had one hundred yards in the regular season, but when 161 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: he had to, and he did this in the Super 162 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: Bowl too, he had like a fifteen yard run for 163 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: a first down, like and he can move in the pocket. 164 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: He's got athleticism within the pocket. May is a mobile quarterback. 165 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: It's absolutely a requirement. Now you're you're stuck way in 166 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: the past to keep trying with the rogerses and the 167 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: statues in the pocket. 168 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: That's just not how the game works. 169 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: Here's why I like willis he played at a smaller 170 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: college at Liberty Liberty, and he's clearly learned a lot. 171 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: He has moved forward since coming into the league. He 172 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: showed that even in his brief appearances with Green Bay, 173 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: he's composed and he performs. My doubt about him would be, 174 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: what do you want to come here? We get a 175 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: better offer or better opportunity somewhere else. But I think 176 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: if you package the opportunity, like I'm suggesting, you're the 177 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: guy right now, we're gonna draft somebody win the job, 178 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: he might go for that. 179 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: He could, But I wonder if there's another team out 180 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: there that won't even present that part to him about 181 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: the drafting somebody. They might talk it even if it's 182 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: not true, like they will do. Then the Steelers can 183 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: just fly to them, right why not overpay and lie. 184 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: That's probably what they're gonna have to do to bring 185 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: Millik Willison. But with macarthy you do have the element 186 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: of not lying, where you can say, hey, the coach 187 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: is an offensive minded head coach, like I've developed these quarterbacks. 188 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: It's not a terrible spot anymore. 189 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: You know why else I wouldn't want to come if 190 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: I were willis because the Steelers screwed up fields. I mean, 191 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: not that he's any great shakes and he's gone to 192 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: New York and failed, but the Steelers took his legs away. 193 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: They took away what he did best from him, which 194 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: was you know, RPOs and called run plays. He's one 195 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: of the top running quarterbacks in recent history, and they 196 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't let him do that. Now we do have new coaches. 197 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: That's what I was just gonna say. 198 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: But again, maybe Micha McCarthy could even point that out 199 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: to somebody like Willis and be like, hey, I know 200 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: it didn't look that great with Justin Fields as far 201 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: as using his best weapon, but I'm different. I'm going 202 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: to utilize your legs because that's what you bring to 203 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: the table, that's what you're best at. 204 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: Should the Steelers have drafted Jackson Dart last year, which 205 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: they could have, I've wondered about that. 206 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: He was a better bet last year than ty Simpson 207 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: is this year. He's a better bet than ty Simpson. 208 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: But you're gonna think I'm being too picky. No, Like, 209 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: I just don't think Jackson Dart's that good either. I 210 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: don't know how good he is. 211 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: But you're gonna hold out Den for Arch Manning or 212 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: somebody that to be available when they draft. 213 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: I'm not that delusional that they're going to get into 214 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 2: the top ten or something like that, or even it's 215 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 2: top five for somebody. Arch is gonna be the number 216 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: one pick. Probably honestly, they're not gonna get there. So 217 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: I'm not thinking that they're gonna get arch Manning. But 218 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess Jackson Dart wouldn't be the 219 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: worst thing in the world. I just think he's just 220 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 2: kind of an idiot. He runs too much, and he 221 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 2: doesn't get out of bounds enough, and he thinks he's 222 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 2: so tough for doing it. 223 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 3: You're just not smart. You're a quarterback. You have to 224 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 3: stay healthy. 225 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: Double im on. The X will continue this conversation on 226 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: and off all day long because the Penguins aren't playing, 227 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: and well, I hate doing it and I hate talking 228 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: about fing quarterback. Except the plan I presented is their 229 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: best bet to move forward, their best bet to maybe 230 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: not make the playoffs this year, but maybe to have 231 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: a legitimate contender. But they're not worried about that, so 232 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: neither should you be. How about this, Derek Shelton, he 233 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: leaves the Pirates, they increase payroll by twenty million, He 234 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: goes to Minnesota and they decrease payroll by thirty five million. Wham, 235 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: he one oh five ninety X. 236 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 4: The X welcomes three days great X considering the career change, 237 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 4: curious about teaching Sea and Hill University's new online master's 238 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 4: degree in early childhood. 239 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: Education and watching USA candidate here in the studio. Women's 240 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: hockey not elimination. It's still group play. US leads one nil. 241 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: Uh with just under fourteen minutes left in the first period. Uh, 242 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: it's no check. You know, there's a little bumping, but 243 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: there's no body checking. I don't like that. I think 244 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: if Lindsay Vaughn can do the downhill with no knee 245 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: and break her leg, these little princesses can absorb a 246 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: hip check now and again. But but it's kind of 247 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: fun because you know, the women's sports wants to be equal, 248 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: but yet they won't do things exactly the same. They'll 249 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: make they'll make concessions for being women, and I think 250 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: that's smart. But I also think it's a little hypocritical 251 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: just saying we're gonna keep revisiting that Steeler quarterback topic. Uh, 252 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: certainly later in the show so you can talk about it. 253 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: But I would forget about Rogers. I would bring Malik Willis, 254 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: draft somebody this year next and see who the quarterback 255 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: whisperer Mike McCarthy can cull out of those two to 256 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: be the long term number one quarterback. 257 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 4: Uh. 258 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: Beyond that discussion, which I find incredibly tedious, but you'll 259 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: probably like it's an oddly exciting time in Pittsburgh sports. 260 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: The Pirates are better, have improved, spent a bit more money, 261 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: and they still got schemes. The Penguins might be arriving 262 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: early and to fit his timetable, though that's a long 263 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: shot to win a Cup again. While he's still here, 264 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: maybe you can make a playoff run. The Steelers have 265 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: a new coach, but it still feels like same old, 266 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: same old, which it would not if they brought in 267 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: Malik Willis, then it would feel like when they brought 268 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: in Justin Fields. Like I keep saying, I won't congratulate 269 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: the Pirates for spending and trying to improve, because they 270 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: should have been doing that all along. But in terms 271 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: of raw numbers, the Pirates have added sixty nine home runs, 272 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: which is kind of sexy. They were dead last in 273 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: home runs last year in MLB with a bucks seventeen. 274 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: If you add those home runs, that's over a third increase. 275 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: If they can, you know, tack those on in twenty 276 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: twenty six. If you hit that many home runs, the 277 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: Pirates are middle of the pack. In a power era, 278 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of legit depth past the starting lineup. 279 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: You got that mangum in the outfield, bart At catcher, 280 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: crap in the infield, maybe that pass guy in the outfield. 281 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: Two they traded two starting pitchers, so there's no depth 282 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: in the rotation. I'm not sure how the bullpen reorganizes, 283 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: but they seem to have the pieces to put a 284 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: decent pen together. So it's better, but it's still full 285 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: of holes and god forbid injury. And can you count 286 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: on Jared Jones if he can't come back all the 287 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: way and quickly. You literally only have like three or 288 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: four guys you can count on in the starting rotation. 289 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: I mean, what are Queedy or whatever that guy's name 290 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: in with two and a third innings over the last 291 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: two years. Look at the depth chart. You'll see what 292 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: I mean By the way, maybe you start bart At catcher. 293 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about that because he hits better than 294 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: Henry Davis, and hitting cons more that framing the pitches 295 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: that now that you can appeal a strike call, it 296 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: just doesn't matter as much the way you handle the pitchers. 297 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it matters who handles Paul Skeens that 298 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: said Skeens is fond of Davis as his catcher. Right now, 299 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: you do feel a lot better if your schemes and 300 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: the other starters about those sixty nine additional home runs 301 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: and run support, you might not waste as many good outings. 302 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: You win seventy one games last year, is winning ten 303 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: more unreasonable? Probably that's a lot of games. That's more 304 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: than you think. And I don't see a surprise on 305 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: the roster's side from Griffin. Maybe, and you can't force 306 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: feed him to the majors early. But at least it's 307 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: a topic, and I'm grateful for that. At least the 308 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: Pirates are a topic, and Ozuna might be the final touch. 309 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: If he is, it's still not enough, but you keep hearing, well, 310 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: you keep hearing from the usual suspects that they're gonna 311 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: do more. But getting Ozuona at least heightens the illusion. Tom, 312 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: I still think the sexy Pirate topic is what's the 313 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: next move with Cutch? Or is it just over? Who 314 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: says what? 315 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 3: Now? I think it's over. 316 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: I don't even think the Pirates say anything, right, I 317 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: think they just kind of go through spring training. I 318 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 2: guess Sherrington's gonna have to speak eventually right when they 319 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: go to Bradenton here in a couple of days and 320 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 2: pictures and catchers report and spring training opens up, and 321 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: I'm sure somebody will ask about McCutchen there, so. 322 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: You could say, Andrew McCutcheon is a free agent. Yep, YadA, YadA. 323 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: He does generic anyway for almost everything that it comes 324 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: out of his mouth once he gonna open his yet, 325 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: probably after Sharrington says something right like right at the 326 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 2: beginning of spring training, or maybe there'll be a sly 327 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: tweet like I feel like I should be doing something 328 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 2: the first week at Braidonton. 329 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: I've thought about this at length. The powers are not 330 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: at all at fall here. Nope, Kutch has made himself 331 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: into a horse's ass. Somebody posted a clip where Nutting 332 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: said that Kutch could play for the parts as long 333 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: as he wants. And if Nutting did say that, it 334 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: was stupid too, and he certainly lied before, why why 335 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: not let this be a lie as well? You know, 336 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: like give Sherrington credit and I don't give him credit 337 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: for much, but the easiest thing to do would be 338 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: to just make cuts the extra outfield or have him 339 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: be the twenty sixth guy. But he'd be a problem 340 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: and he can't play the oddfield. Not only that Ozuna. 341 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: How about this Tom Ozuna hasn't played in the field 342 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: since twenty twenty three. 343 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a DH note question about it. 344 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 2: You brought it up yesterday when we were talking about mccutche, 345 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: and he's just he's making too much noise right now. 346 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 3: He's not even on the team. 347 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 2: He would just make way too much noise to be 348 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 2: a fourth outfielder, of a fifth outfielder, the end of 349 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: the bench, guy that plays, you know, once every other Sunday, 350 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: fifty games a year, a couple of pinch hit appearances 351 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 2: in some big spots, like he wouldn't take that. He 352 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: doesn't want that. He wants to get on this roster. 353 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 2: And then in his mind he thinks that he's still 354 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: better than Azuna, that he's gonna take the DH away 355 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 2: from him. 356 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: I'd already thinks he's better Nozuna, but I think he 357 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: thinks that that, like you know, whether through rotation. You know, 358 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: he said he could still play the field. He just 359 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: thinks he should get X amount of at bats because 360 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: of the legacy of Andrew McCutchen. I think Tom the 361 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: most pathetic. Part of much his bitching is when he 362 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: said he could still play the outfield. It came off 363 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: a lot like Fredo Corleone from Godfather Too. I can 364 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: still play outfield, I. 365 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 2: Can run, And there's just no room for him out 366 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: there because you've got your o'harn Cruz Reynolds outfield to start, 367 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: and then I mean, those bats, if things are going 368 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: the best that they possibly can, you're never gonna want 369 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 2: to take those bats out of the lineup anyway. And 370 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 2: then you've got the password as your fourth outfielder, justin 371 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: Nixon so well too. 372 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 3: There's just no room. There's just absolutely no room. 373 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: What about Captain Jack Sowinsky too, who'll be probably floating 374 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: around Triple A in the mable. 375 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: Well, that's gonna be the big bitch fest. If Swinsky's 376 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: on the roster, you don't have cut. 377 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 2: As an extra outfielder or somebody that just you know, 378 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: he's riding the bus all year long between Pittsburgh and. 379 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: Lewinsky hits left handed and he can play the outfield. 380 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 2: He's got more pop than a Cutching does. Oh, I 381 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 2: don't know about that. So Winsky really faded. You have 382 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 2: to actually hit the bald out. The potential is still 383 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 2: there for some more pop with Sewinsky. 384 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, I think that ship is sealed and sunk. 385 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: But but yeah, I don't think we've heard the last 386 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: of this by any means. Uh. The first hour of 387 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: the show brought to us by our good friends at Schenderovi, 388 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: Sunder Opens and Fishmen. They got your back, not your wallet, Tom. 389 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: In a moment, we're going to talk about this. But 390 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: did you see there was a hamburger at the Super 391 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: Bowl they were selling on site to cost one hundred 392 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: and eighty dollars? 393 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 3: No, I did not see this. What was in the hamburger? 394 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 3: I mean, I guess we're going to. 395 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: Reach Tom, what's the most you've ever paid for an 396 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: item of food? An item of food? 397 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: I mean I've gotten like steaks that are getting close 398 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 2: to like one hundred dollars before, you know, like at 399 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 2: a really nice steakhouse. Definitely probably go with that, or 400 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 2: like a seafood dish at like a Monterey Bay or 401 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: something like that. Getting close to probably one hundred and 402 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 2: twenty something like that is how much I pay. 403 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: I've paid over three hundred. I'll say what it is. 404 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: In just the moment here on one oh five ninety X. 405 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 3: It's the Woody Show weekday mornings at six one o 406 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 3: five ninety X. 407 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 5: This is Greg Kruzenski of the Original Mattress Factory.

Have you been injured? 428 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: If so called the expert personal injury? Uh? Watching this 429 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: US Canada game still one nil, US shots nine to two, 430 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: though US having a good for period about six minutes 431 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: left in the first twenty minutes. And one reason I 432 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: would let them hit just because it would be fun 433 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: to see women hit each other, but also because there 434 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: was a play where a Canadian player got the puck 435 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: and circled out of the corner to go up high 436 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: with her head down, and she went all the way 437 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: from the corner to above the circle looking at the 438 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: puck head down. That happens to men's hawk. You get 439 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: your lights put out, Kolbe. Armstrong would have knocked her 440 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: into tomorrow. In fact, I wish Army was playing in 441 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: this game. You know, the trans thing let him cross over, 442 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: which I am against, but people still say I'm a whip. 443 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: But yeah, if you're gonna carry the puck with your 444 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: head down, there should be a price to be paid 445 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: for that. I just think that hockey is having your 446 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: head up. So anyway, that's my rant on that. Like 447 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: I said, if if Lindsey Vaughn can go out there, 448 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: And by the way, I got some pushback because I 449 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: said that she was stupid to go out there with 450 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: a ruptured ACL to try the Don Hill and she 451 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: like broke her leg right after she started the course. 452 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: It is stupid. What else was possibly going to happen 453 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: If you know the result is likely a grievous injury, 454 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: It's stupid to do it. But tom oh, before I forget, now, 455 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: we'll do that at segments in tom I said a 456 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: moment ago, there was a burger at the Super Bowl 457 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: be coust of one hundred and eighty bucks. It was 458 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: called the lex Hammerburger and it was pretty simple cheeseburger 459 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: raised boney in beef shank. I'm assuming the bone was 460 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: removed before it got put on the burger. Demigloss blue cheese, 461 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: fawnd dude ripping everywhere. That looked really good. Briosh Bunn 462 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty bucks, only two hundred made. I 463 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,239 Speaker 1: would buy it. The photos were great, although anybody who 464 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: would buy it just does it to say they had 465 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: a burger that cost one hundred and eighty bucks. 466 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 2: Probably, I also would buy this at a different setting 467 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: than at the super Bowl, Like that's a lot to 468 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 2: just sit in your lap at the seat. 469 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: With those were luxury box type. 470 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 2: That's probably a good point. But had a hammer Burger. 471 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 2: I don't know why. I just don't know how. It's 472 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty dollars. I guess just because of 473 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 2: the beef shank. It's it's worth that. 474 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: It's because it's at the super Bowl in the luxury box, 475 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: you know. Like I said, people will buy that just 476 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: to say they had one hundred and eighty dollars burger. 477 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: Look it up, get it. Look at a picture of it. 478 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 3: I'm looking at it right now. 479 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: What do you think. 480 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 2: All I can see is this giant mountain of blue cheese. 481 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 2: It looks like the blue cheese fondu really dominates it. 482 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's my one.

But I want to throw this 627 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: out there because with the Penguins not playing the shows 628 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: will be filled with useless Steeler talk, which some people 629 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: major in, but we got into it this week more. Obviously, 630 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: they got to go out and get a bunch of receivers. 631 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: That's the top priority. Okay, I think they have to 632 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: draft a receiver. Yep, first round. I would say I 633 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: would say so too. But the top guys like like 634 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: Tayit and Tyson probably won't be there. And then it 635 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: drops off. Then it drops off. 636 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, but drop off at that I mean those that position. 637 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: It really just grows on trees at college.

I always think of a ninety nine. 640 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: There were two good receivers available, Tory Holton David Boston, 641 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: and they went early, and the Steelers felt they had 642 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: to get a receiver. They drafted Troy Edwards thirteenth from 643 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: Louisiana Tech, and he was just rotten. 644 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 3: It ain't ninety nigh though. 645 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 2: Like it's all about throwing the football in college, it's 646 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: all about having a ton of receivers in college, the 647 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 2: crops are just a lot more to pick from nowadays. 648 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: What about of the free agent guys, do any name 649 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: jump to mind? Yeah? 650 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 2: Rashid Shaheed from the Seattle Sea. I don't think he'll 651 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 2: get the free agent. 652 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 653 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 2: Either, But he's the guy like I'm kind of hoping for, 654 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,239 Speaker 2: like fingers crossed, get the free agency and grab him, 655 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: have so much captain about like Romeo Dobs. I guess 656 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: he's okay. Shaheed's like the White Well for me. Though 657 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 2: he's ready to burst. The Hawks are gonna keep I 658 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 2: think so too. I can dream, though, Mark. 659 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: Did you see Dallas is good at franchise pickets, which 660 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: we kind of knew? 661 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't. 662 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 2: Then they might trade him. Really, I didn't see that 663 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 2: part of it. I would keep him on the franchise tag. 664 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 2: I want to see him play on a franchise tag. 665 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: We should bring him back because that would piss him off. 666 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: One oh five nine, Hey, we're in your smart speakers. 667 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 3: Listen to the X everywhere you go. 668 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: Tell your smart speakers play one oh five point nine 669 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: the X on iHeartRadio from the one five nine the X. 670 00:29:52,280 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: It's the Mark Man Free game. One US two know 671 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: end to one. I can't wait for Monday night. North 672 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: Hill's High School, seeded sixth in Class six A, starts 673 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: the WHIPUIL playoffs against Imani Christian at North Hills High 674 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: School at seven pm, and I'm going to be there. 675 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: So if you're a high school hoop fan, North Hill's 676 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: got a good team. They have two of the top 677 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: I think two of the top three or four scores 678 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: in the whipial couple. I wish I could Sean Baker 679 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: and Long. I think that's it. Boy. They it's a 680 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: good team, very good team. So come on you Indians, 681 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: Tom before we get to the trifecta. One thing about 682 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and in relations to the Steelers quarterback debate, 683 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, who they had a chance to get. I'm 684 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: not saying he would have wanted to come here, Probably not. 685 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: And he wouldn't have done what he did here, obviously 686 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: because he wouldn't have had nearly the weaponry to work with, 687 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: and the steelersouldn't paid him a hundred billion either. But 688 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: I give him credit. He's a real cerebral quarterback. Like 689 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: Matt Williamson pointed out on yesterday's program, he did a 690 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: really good job just moving his feet a little bit 691 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: in the pocket to avoid sacks. And when JSN got 692 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: shut down and then concussed and what's the good damn 693 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: Shaheeden Tahei. Yeah, didn't do much either. He used his 694 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: tertiary target, who is you know, old man Cooper Cup 695 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: to great effect. He figured it out. 696 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Cooper cups super Bowl MVP when the Rams 697 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl, So the Cup's been in that 698 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 2: game before. Old Man can turn back the clock, especially 699 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 2: having those two weeks off before the Super Bowl, so 700 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 2: cups probably feeling at his best that he has all year. 701 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 2: What Donald did in these playoffs is is just not 702 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 2: getting enough pub right now for whatever reason you thought 703 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 2: it might because he's the old Jets quarterback. 704 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 3: So the New York media drives the bus. They don't 705 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 3: want to think it's. 706 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: Because the bad bunny stuff took the Super Bowl away 707 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: from the actual getting crazy. I still can't believe that 708 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: people got that bothered by something like that to the 709 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: point where they were just demented about it. 710 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 2: Donald's poise through the postseason was remarkable to go from 711 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 2: having twenty total turnovers fourteen interceptions, twenty total turnovers, the 712 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 2: most by a quarterback in the regular season, and not 713 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 2: turning it over once in the playoffs, and when he 714 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 2: had to turn it up against the Rams when Stafford 715 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 2: was getting an offensive duel with him. He did, he 716 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 2: met Stafford at that level. He was really perfect in 717 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: the postseason, Tom, who's the most hardcore rapper out there 718 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: right now? 719 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know. I've really gotten away from who. 720 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: Who would offend the people who got offended by Bad 721 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: Bunny the most? But that's who I want to do 722 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: halftime next year? 723 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 2: Like you just want to keep going harder and harder 724 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 2: into that direction. 725 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 3: I don't know. 726 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 2: Like that's a great question. Do we get like young 727 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 2: Thug out on the stage next year? What about your 728 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 2: great name, young Blood? Is that a rapper? You know 729 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 2: more about rap than me? If you did the thing 730 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 2: that he did. 731 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: He performed at Ozzie's farewellom Ash and he did the 732 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: record with Aerosmith Research. 733 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 3: Okay, what about Shaboozie? 734 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: He's like country right? Yeah, no, no, Country. There's a 735 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 1: better chance I would understand Bad Bunny than he did 736 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: understandhim country. Yeah. Okay, we got the trifecta brought to 737 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: us by Danny's Pets and Hogi's on Route eighty eight 738 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: and Bethel Park. 739 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 2: Tom, what do you got for today's trifective Mark I've 740 00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 2: been thinking about the Pirates a lot. 741 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 3: I mean, how could you not after these past twenty. 742 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 2: Four hours, I'm trying. These are three big worries though, 743 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 2: that I still have with the Buckos. Number three, with 744 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 2: the rotation, there's just no lefties. They need a lefty picture, 745 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 2: like it's ridiculous. I'm looking at their active roster right now. 746 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 2: There's like four total lefties right now on their roster, 747 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 2: and that's including bullpen pictures like what. 748 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: Happened those two guys had last year. Where's Bailey Falter? 749 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 2: Bailey Falter, he got traded in the Royals, remember they 750 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 2: traded him at. 751 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: The retired right. They traded him and then he retired. 752 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 2: Haiti HAINI, Yeah, but they need somebody like that. They 753 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 2: need man Falter. I really would have liked him to 754 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 2: still be a Pirate. I think that was a mistake 755 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 2: for them letting him go. He was just a really 756 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 2: good picture for PNC Park and Ken They need lefties badly, 757 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 2: especially at P and C Park. So it's a huge 758 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 2: flaw that's in their rotation. Number two, though, the defense 759 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 2: in the outfield has me worried. How could that not 760 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 2: Ryan O'Hearn, who's most likely going to play in the outfield. 761 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 3: I was looking into him. He's mainly been a first baseman. 762 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,719 Speaker 2: Now, he's played outfield before, and he played it as 763 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 2: recently as last year, like twenty three games in the outfield. 764 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 2: But he's a first basement or a DH. So you're 765 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 2: asking him to do something he hasn't done well. 766 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, And they're talking now that he's better in right 767 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: field than in left, but that's Reynolds Renol. Renolds played 768 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: left for a long time. 769 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 2: He's just older and he's not as good anymore though, 770 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 2: so he's a liability. And then Cruz speaks for himself, right. 771 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: I would put Reynolds back in left field just because 772 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,959 Speaker 1: of the familiarity and he's not How old is he. 773 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 3: I don't know, but it's getting older at least that's correct. 774 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: By the way, Bailey Falder signed a one year deal 775 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: with k C for three point six million. How could 776 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: the Powers not afford that? 777 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 3: I don't know why. 778 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 2: I don't know why they traded him. They should have 779 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: never traded him last year. Uh, number was a free agent. 780 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 2: You could have brought him back Number one. Worry though, 781 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 2: for me this year Mark they got their Big three 782 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 2: signings this year with Lao O'Hearn and Nozuna at sixty 783 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 2: nine home runs that they bought in free agency, that 784 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 2: would bring their last year total to one eighty six, 785 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 2: which is still two under league average. So they're still 786 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 2: under league average technically as far as the home runs 787 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 2: that they bought this year. Now, maybe Ozuna has a 788 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 2: better year than twenty one than last year, but still 789 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 2: that's good buying those home runs. 790 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 3: But Hern and Law both hit lefty, right, I think 791 00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 3: that's correct. 792 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. 793 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 2: They're fine in the lineup as far as having enough lefties. 794 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 2: And remember Reynolds is a switch hitter too, so he 795 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 2: counts there. He can go onto the left side of 796 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 2: the plate. It's just the staff that they are. It's 797 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 2: funny now we're kind of analyzing the Pirates like they're 798 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 2: a real baseball team as far as their roster construction 799 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 2: is concerned. 800 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: You know what I hate? They have no lefties though, 801 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: I hate freaking auto correct. I typed in O'Hearn bat's side, 802 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: and it and it corrected me to Otani bats side. 803 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's all about the Dodgers or her. 804 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: Left handed hitter, And wow, I know is the left 805 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: handed hitter. So there you go. Reynolds is thirty one, 806 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: by the way. 807 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 3: Not that old, I guess, but he seemed like he 808 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 3: was fading anyway last we Well, he better. 809 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: Get his ass and gear for the money he makes. 810 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: And I sense that that both him and Keller have 811 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: been beaten down by the years of playing for a 812 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: team that's no good. Well now it might be better, 813 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: so they better do their part, which which Reynolds I 814 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: think he's been mediocre for a couple of years now, 815 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,720 Speaker 1: and Keller gonna, you know, eliminate that second half fade. 816 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 2: Uh, without question. Jared Jones is obviously a concern in 817 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 2: that rotation too. 818 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 4: Uh. 819 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 2: Bubba Chandler, I think is gonna be really good, but 820 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 2: we just gotta see it out of him. He's not 821 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 2: a Skeens level phenom, where like he's a can't miss 822 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 2: leveled prospect with Chandler, but I think he's gonna be 823 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 2: pretty good. I mean, you got guys like Ashcraft two 824 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,720 Speaker 2: that are all right. It's just it's just a completely uh, 825 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 2: it's just a rotation that is deficient because it doesn't 826 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 2: have that lefty arm in it that you can flip 827 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 2: a lineup over. 828 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 1: With the trifecta.
