Well, that's 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.720 good us too. It is the Bonus our our number 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.080 three here as well. Along on campus, a quiet campus 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.399 right now, still no signs of an evening walk through. 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.880 Matt and I am seeing a bunch of buses across 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:08.240 the world. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.120 I was wondering, what's up with that. Usually that's a 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.600 Friday night light thing, but. 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.560 I was wondering, this is total hunch here. Total guests. 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:19.080 Although and am I crazy? Or do they have some 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:24.160 kind of uniforms on and there's some Yeah, So my 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:28.240 first thought was maybe they skipped evening walk through in 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.479 lieu of a team bonding activity. Right, Maybe they're going bowling, 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.480 Maybe they're going well, they actually did that already did that. 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.960 Little little inside information for you, little inside information for you. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.479 The boys did rent out a movie theater not too 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.200 far from here a couple of days ago on one 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.200 of the off days, and they all went and saw 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.680 The Odyssey. I heard it was rip roaring with a 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.520 bunch of food and and and and fun flying around. 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.680 How that would be awesome. 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.520 I had the opportunity to do that once they're going somewhere, 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.520 I was. I was telling this story to h to 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.080 Reagan and Nate uh who obviously do work on the 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.840 Steelers side. When I was like fourteen, I think was 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.280 when the movie Miracle came out, of course, the Miracle 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.919 on Ice movie, and our hockey coach at the time 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.520 rented out in an entire showing for our hockey team 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.480 to go out so well, and same thing. We took 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.440 a bunch of pizzas in and all kinds of stuff. 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.639 It was a lot of fun. I can't tell if 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.200 they're where. If they're wearing like, you know, just their 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.320 their jerseys, not full uniforms, I think they might be, 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:26.200 so who knows. 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.000 Maybe nothing. We're in gold on top and black on 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:28.760 the bass. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.680 So maybe maybe they're going over to Latrobe Memorial for 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.880 an evening walk through type thing just to get the 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:34.679 you know, the setting and used to it over there. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.360 But yeah, it didn't look like they were just in 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:37.200 street clothes. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.880 Now. I don't think they're going to like Dave and 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:39.760 Busters or I. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.600 Don't yes, or to the Bowling Alley or something like that. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.120 But interesting, looks like we've got a little bit of 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.320 a different of an evening for the Steelers out here. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.840 Maybe Matt and I will do some research later time. 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:50.880 I bet we'll find out tonight. 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.680 Yeah, figure out exactly what was going on. But the 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.760 grounds crew guy's still working out here. No signs again 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.120 of the of the line painting robot. But we will 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.840 obviously keep you posted if there's anything interesting moving and 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.760 shaking in front of us. Matt, let's at the tweets 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.720 here as we like to do to start the Bonus hour, smooth, 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.120 Dave says with Aaron Donald potentially unretiring. Are you surprised 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.239 or disappointed that the Steelers were never able to pull 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.840 off recruiting JJ Watt or Aaron Donald to play for US. 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.400 Yeah, I mean Donald worked out at the facility. I mean, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.280 he's donated a lot of time back, but I don't 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.680 think the Rams were ever just giving up his rights, 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.560 you know what I mean where it's I did. I 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.720 used to throw it out there when JJ had just 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:37.440 retired that because coincidentally, right about when he retired is 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.960 when the Steelers started swatting passes at the line of 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.360 scrimmage like it was their job. They became the best 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:43.920 team of league, and he was the best I've ever 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.520 seen do it. I'm like, did he teach Cam Hayward 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.440 the secret sauce for batting down passes or did he 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.480 teach brother who taught Cam. I thought maybe you could 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.120 pry him away for one year, kind of like they 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.240 did with Donald in terms of like JJ just played 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.840 twenty five snaps a game, you know, keep you fresh. 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.720 But I think he wasn't interested in playing anymore. He 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.840 had some injuries late and there. 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.920 Was a time period where I thought that JJ Watt 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.000 was going to be a Steeler. Now it was well 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.080 past his bell curve of dominant JJ Watt Yeah, yeah, 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.480 but there was a time when Derek was here still too, 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:16.240 that I thought when. 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:17.440 Derek was here exactly, I forgot it. 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.640 Yeah, yep, I thought, oh, you could could complete the 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.560 complete the trio. Yeah, there's a lot of commercials and 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.039 endorsements that could have come from Matt. What we really 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.200 need from JJ Watt and Matt and I have discussed 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.320 this briefly in the past on air, but it's always 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.880 worth another mention. What we really need from JJ and 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.719 TJ and Derek is for them to open a culverse 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.400 somewhere in the greater Pittsburgh region. 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.240 I would like to invest in it. It will do well. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.440 That would be the best thing that they could do 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.080 for Matt and I personally, other than potentially winning a 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.760 Super Bowl here in the next couple of years. Troy says, 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.800 if there is a quarterback to be traded, do you 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:52.480 think it would be Mason Rudolph? Yes, yes, traded, absolutely, sure, absolutely. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.400 I also think you'll get much for Howard and Rudolph 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.679 could be attracted to someone looking for a backup. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.080 It's funny at we were just kind of talking about 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.120 this in the previous segment, Annie tweets and says, not 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.240 hearing a lot about Michael Pittman Junior. I know it's 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.479 early days, but how is the chemistry between him and 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:09.560 Aaron Rodgers so far? 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.440 Again, there's not a ton of team drills compared to 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.080 other years. I'm not even a comment on him like 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.479 routes versus air and things like that. I mean he's 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.320 moving well, he's huge. I don't see any issues to 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.760 be the slaves bit concerned, but we did kind of 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.520 bring this up. I have not seen like a signature 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.680 moment or yeah, boyd you see the catch that Pittman 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:30.360 made or you. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.880 Know, yeah that I don't think he has been poor 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:35.960 in any reasons, but I don't. Yeah, he hasn't done 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.920 the circus one handed catch type thing either. But still 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.960 a lot of meat on the bone in terms of 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.159 what they what they could be doing. Okay, Matt quick 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.039 possibility here. I wonder if they're going over to the 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.560 new indoor facility the rec center for tonight's walk through. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:53.880 Do you really need a bus to get there? 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:59.080 Though? No, it's not far, but it's across campus. You know, 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.200 you gotta watch your staff I wonder if we were 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.520 supposed to get any rain here in the next No, 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.400 but maybe they just they haven't used it yet. Maybe 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.320 they wanted an opportunity to get in there and check 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:07.600 it out. 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:09.240 I mean, it's weird that they'd make a right here 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.039 that they're gonna go to a dead end bus. 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.680 Looks like it's good we're getting our journalism hating. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.640 You know what. I think you're right because there was 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.520 a player on like a motorized scooter that went flying 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.320 down the hill that he probably just drove himself. 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.000 You think they could let me borrow that scooter? 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:27.839 Yeah, I can see you on it. I'm gonna that's 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.120 pretty lame to take a bus from here to there. 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.080 Well, it is, I mean, it is, it is. Listen, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:36.840 I'm not gonna watch. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.240 The entire bus trip from where we're sitting. I don't 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:40.400 think you need the bus. 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.360 There, Listen, I'm with you, But this is, you know, 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:44.960 this is This would have been a perfect Could you 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.000 imagine if Punch and Wolf were sitting here with us 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.560 while this was right they gotta take a bus across 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.160 campus to practice. You know, back in my day, we'd 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.880 have to walk up hill both ways six times a day. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.320 I mean, you've seen it a million times. I have 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.600 a tiny, tiny bit of a problem, but I totally 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.080 understand it. When they golf cart the dudes to the 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.599 calf it's really not I mean, these guys are in 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.240 better shape than me. I mean they should. 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.080 Here comes an empty bus around the backside of campus. 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:11.320 That's got to be it. They've got to be doing. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.520 That's what they're doing at the new indoor recreation facility. 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:15.520 And they drove there. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.640 Hey, if you could get a ride, get a ride. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.200 I guess a lot of steps, you know, I would 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:22.760 have if. 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.520 Somebody would golf cart me to my car right now, 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:25.720 I would take the ride. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.120 I would love love to see tounch of Wolf's reaction 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.680 to what we just to what we just witnessed taking 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.760 a bus across campus to the endoor facility. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.400 I know they're not hurting for money, but they had 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.000 to pay a bus driver to do this too. 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.560 We're gonna do some more digging and find out. 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.480 They really this was really like walking. 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.800 It's a it's probably a ten minute walk, no way, dude, 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.240 full way down the length of three football fields here. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.760 Then then then they make a right, okay, seven or 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:59.040 eight minute walk five six. Now, you and I do 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:00.000 walk pretty briskly. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.960 I will say, well, maybe they're wearing cleats and they 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.880 don't want to. I'm sure that's a big part of it. Okay, cleats, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.720 that makes sense. You don't, I mean, you don't want 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.080 to we walking on cement and you don't. Now it 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.280 all adds up if you have cleats on that's the reason. 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:13.880 That's the reason. 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.120 Okay, all right, with doing some real journalistic work here, 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:22.520 all right, Matt says, do you see Max eventually getting 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.280 the starting nod over Dylan Cook prior to the start 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.960 of the season. Also, which conniment or topping has to 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:32.520 be on your burger for it to be good grilled onions? 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.760 I would say yes to Max. 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.120 I think so. I think that's only a matter of time. 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.480 I mean, he's definitely gonna be a starter soon. When 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.320 they said before the season starts and gave me the 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.440 slightest bit of pause, and I hope that he's injury as. 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.800 Saying now, that obviously could be a factor. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.520 But for some reason he doesn't play in the preseason 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:54.040 because of it, then that could slow things. Burgers are 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.080 so versatile. I mean, I think there's a lot of 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.559 ways to make a burger, But. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.000 What's the best thing. What's the one thing that's got 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.280 to go on there for you for it to be good. 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:02.680 I think for me it would be grilled onions. 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.760 There's a lot of to be good, but I think 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.079 I think kosher Dell pickles or yeah, like of lassic 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.720 dill too. It goes with everything. Like can we do 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.760 burgers at home? I either make mustard and toppings or 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:22.120 barbecue sauce in toppings. Okay, and like pickles, onions go 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.120 with either. I've been barbecue. Does it go with mustard? 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.080 Ever since I got a Blackstone a couple of summers ago, 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.720 we do. We do smash burgers like every other week, dude. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.160 Just some good just some good cheese, just some grilled onion. Well, 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.920 good news for you. You are going to Sharky's here 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.960 in a little bit for for a late show, so 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.800 you'll be giving you some good food over there. Uh yeah, 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.040 grilled onions would probably be number one for me, followed 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:45.480 shortly by mayonnaise and ketchup. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.319 I assume you do them on the Blackstone too. 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.880 Oh yeah, get them nice and thin and a little 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.160 bit of butter. These a little bit of butter, you 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.880 want to know a secret that I discovered. I forget 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.520 who told me this, But when you're doing like a. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.480 Good cook griller, I am, yeah, yeah, I am. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.679 I'm pretty versatile. I'm pretty versaal. I grew up in 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.840 a family that like refused to ever go out to eat, 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.240 So we did. We did a lot, and we did 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.920 a lot of cooking at the house. When you're doing 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.480 the smash burgers on the flat tops, yeah, like before 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:13.880 you flip them for the so you get the good 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.200 char on them, right, okay, and then you flip them, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.920 put some put some mustard before you flip it right 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.080 on the mustard and the mustard kind of grills into 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.160 the burger. It gives it a nice crust and everything 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:25.640 on there. 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.000 Oh yeah, you're just teasing me. 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:28.959 I gotta I gotta have you over at some point. 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.040 Yeah the station. 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.920 Yeah, and they'd still be they'd still be good, but 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.760 it's not quite the same. Uh, mister Steele City says, well, 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.959 the team wait to install more in depth schemes until 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:45.480 after cut down day. Also does Mason Rudolph getting praised 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.320 by Mike McCarthy have to do with them trying to 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:48.040 up his trade? 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:48.320 Value. 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.400 A lot of questions about Mason's trade value today. 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.160 Yeah, I don't know how to comment on the second one. 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.439 I think the only reason you'd consider trading him is, 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.920 like we've talked about all off season, is you think 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.679 Howard can be the two and maybe that's getting to 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.320 that point where they're really comfortable with him and Rudolph's 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.080 going to be the guy that is on the outside 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.360 looking in, assuming they only keep three, because you know 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.640 two of the four making the team. So maybe what's 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.880 step one of that? With the question? 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.360 Shoot, now i'm john a blank all about installing more 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.200 complex schemes after cutdown day. 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.200 No one's told me this, but I've been thinking this 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.160 for a couple of days. You're like part of me 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:28.079 thinks again, Tinfoil hat why Ramsey isn't out there because 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:29.600 they don't want the world to know what they're doing 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:34.040 with them. I've very seen I've seen very little Noahkowski today. 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:35.720 I think was the first time I've seen him like 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.079 with the ones as a fullback. I don't know what 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.120 they want the world to know about that either, you know, Like, 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.280 as your boy Motz always says, there's a lot more 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:47.040 training camp left after this and the whole public in 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.240 the world isn't going to see it. And I'm sure 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.040 first preseason game they are not going to open up 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.800 the bag of tricks. And I think they do all 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.760 coaches do, but this this coaching staff seems so attention 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:00.840 to detail. I think they want to make sure you've 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.120 passed second grade and now we can go to third 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.760 and these things are probably tenth grade stuff, you know. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.319 Sudesh says, Bijon is absolutely one of the best players 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.360 on the planet right now. Remember how running backs are 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.000 being slandered just a few years ago. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.240 You know, we we mentioned that second batch of buses 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:16.760 going in case you missed the first one. 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:18.400 Maybe you could get on there and get a ride 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.199 back to the car and save yourself some steps. Pittsburgh 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.559 Conversation says random, fun question. I want to know your 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.760 Steelers Mount Rushmore of linebackers and your Steelers Mount Rushmore 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.240 of running backs. All right, we got like a minute 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:29.600 or two. 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:36.040 But running backs are Franco Bell, Bettis Foster, The Rushmore 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:37.000 is often always have to. 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.240 Be four Rocky Blier. I mean, if you're going by 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:44.000 the Rushmore thing, I'll go Foster. Yeah. The three three 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.040 are very easy to pick three or super easy. You're 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.760 very easy to pick linebackers. Lambert Ham. 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:50.960 I'm only going off the ball. 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:58.040 I'm not doing like yes, Lambert Ham. Kirkland Kirkland Ferrier. 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:00.280 Yeah, I think he'd be Bell. 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.240 I think so too, and man I Shazier would have 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:04.439 been on that list if he would have had a 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:05.160 coffee career. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.040 But people will tell you Andy Russell. 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:09.920 Andy Russell is a good one. Yeah, that's a good one. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.360 I never saw him play once, so I mean it's 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.679 a little tough for me. But there's a pretty good 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:15.240 rush wars. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.559 Those are pretty good rush wars. Last one of the 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.040 day goes to well for this segment at least goes 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.520 to Nate. I need to know. The best non Steelers 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.120 game environment you guys have ever been to was yours 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.439 Kyle Field down at Texas A and M. 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.440 Probably I haven't time. 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.120 There's some good one. That's a tough that's a that's 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.040 a tough question. Nate, the World Cup game that I 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.640 went to back in June would be on the list. 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.040 I assumed he was talking football, but yeah, yeah. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:45.280 Without a doubt, Penguin's playoff games at the Civic Arena. Yeah, 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:46.839 back when that place used to be rocking. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.440 I mean that that was phenomenal, phenomenal. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.000 I mean, as much as I hate giving them credit, 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.640 I've been to a couple of Penn State games out 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.560 at Beaver Stadium and their atmosphere is incredibly electric. Some 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.880 of the WV you know, the backyard I shouldn't. 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.079 I was about to not get you going, but I 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.600 would say the brawls when I was on pit staff 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:06.280 were pretty cool. 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.679 And even the w U Virginia Tech back in that 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.800 era when it was when it was the VIC Brothers, 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:11.520 and that was. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.320 You know, we had a lot of success against v 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.440 Tech and they were the better team than us every 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.000 We were a dog every time he played him, and 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.560 I think we beat him two or three times, so 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:19.360 that was kind of cool. 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:20.960 Yep, those ones are all really good. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.880 Getting crushed by the U wasn't always that fun. 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.400 I would imagine that was not I would imagine that 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:27.440 was not so much fun. 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.880 It was fun to like the scouting, you know, future 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.640 scouting me looking at the players on the U, going, WHOA, 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:34.520 We're in for a long day. You know what. 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.040 You know, man, that's a first round pick. That's a 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:37.640 first round pick. 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.320 That's a first round pick, and that guy game on 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:40.520 the field and he's a first round pick. 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.480 One that deserves to mention, Matt was that twenty thirteen 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.920 blackout wild Card Pirates game to win against Cincinnati. Unbelievable, 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.840 unbelievable that that deserves credit. Generations fans waiting for a 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:54.520 playoff game. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.160 I was on the I was on the sidelines with 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.200 Pitt for the first ever game in what was then Hide. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.640 That's pretty cool. And then very shortly after we came 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.440 back after an off week from nine to eleven, and 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.320 that was pretty emotional building. Heck game, you know what 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.160 I mean. Yeah, getting back on the field after nine 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.400 to eleven, yep, yep. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.600 I could. I could only imagine. I could. I could 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.320 only imagine. And I tell you what, as much as 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.720 again I hate giving them credit. That twenty eighteen NFC 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.880 Championship game between the Eagles and the Vikings where Philly 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.480 just absolutely decimated Minnesota to go on to the Super 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.200 Bowl and beat the Patriots and win their first Super Bowl. 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.320 That atmosphere was incredible because at the time the Eagles 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.720 had never won a Super Bowl. I mean, imagine, imagine 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.120 Steelers fans if we had never. 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.120 Won a Super Bowl, Yeah, and. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.800 You're hosting an AFC championship game. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.360 I mean a good franchise for a lot of years too. 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:42.960 It wasn't like they were garbage. 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:44.880 And I forget who it was for the Eagles. It 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.360 wasn't one of their bigger name guys. But someone in 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.560 like the third I think it was early third quarter 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.240 had to pick six for the Eagles of Kirk Cousins. 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.560 Uh no case Keenum was a quarterback for the Vikings 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.080 at that point. Someone on the Eagles had to pick six. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.480 That really blew that game open, you know, made it 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.800 like thirty five to seven and it was over and 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.360 that stadium I thought was gonna collapse. I mean it 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.840 was real. It was just out of couse. It reminded 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.640 me of I wasn't there for the Troy Polamalu picked 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.320 six in the two thousand and eight AFC Championship game 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.440 against Flacco and the Ravens that put that one on ice. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.920 But you hear the stories about how the building was 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.000 moving and swaying and shaking that two thousand Again. As 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.840 much as I hate to give them credit, that twenty 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.280 eighteen NFC Championship game that I was working for the 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.160 Eagles was absolutely insane. That's cool, and they obviously smoked 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:30.880 the Vikings and went on to win their first Super 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.440 Bowl in franchise history, which we all liked because it 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:37.160 was against Tom Brady and those sticking Patriots. Matt, that'll 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.360 do it for this segment. We are way overdue for 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:40.760 a break here, but we'll see if we can hit 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.480 some more tweets before the end of the show.
