Texan's Roll the 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 2: Steelers last night. It was a very deceptive final score 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: because it didn't feel thirty to six. We went into 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter two minutes in. It's a one point game. 18 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: The Texans played great defense. 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 3: C J. 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: Stroud didn't play well at all. The Steelers were kind 21 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 2: of The Steelers defense played pretty well. They just weren't 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: threatening and you don't have a you know that pass 23 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,639 Speaker 2: rush against Aaron Rodgers, they hit him twelve times. Twelve 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 2: times when you're forty two is like twenty times when 25 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: you're twenty two. So Rogers is at his last game, 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: I'm sure people are going to say the following, Oh, 27 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: you can't go out that way. What makes you think 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 2: he's going to be any better next year. It's the 29 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: same thing with Travis Kelcey. Oh you can't go out 30 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: this way. We use this. We say this as if 31 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: I'm going to stay, and then you stay, and you 32 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: played well, and maybe your team wins, and then you go, 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: I can't go out this way, Yes you can. Aaron Rodgers, 34 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if he played again. And look, those 35 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: numbers weren't bad during the regular season. I think if 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: you said, and I think I did, say, if he 37 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: replicated what Russell Wilson did, and you go, you know, 38 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: twenty five twenty six touchdowns and six or seven interceptions, 39 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: you play good defense, you're gonna make the playoffs, as 40 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: they always do. And that's kind of who they were. 41 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: But the more you look at it, they probably overachieved. 42 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: They're not a good team, but they somehow got in. 43 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 2: You know, the Ravens missing the kick, they get in 44 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 2: and they went against a really good young defense. That's 45 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: a great defense that'll keep them in every game. It'd 46 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: be really I'd be really surprised if they would get 47 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: blown out. 48 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: You know. 49 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: CJ. Stroud played terrible. When you have five fumbles lost 50 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: a couple of them, you allow the Steelers to stay 51 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: in that game. And I think all of us in 52 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: the back of our minds kept thinking, man, you're going 53 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 2: to give Rogers a chance. You're gonna give them a chance, 54 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,839 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, you get a couple 55 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: of defensive touchdowns and you get a blowout there. So 56 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: thirty to six the final, the Texans rush for one 57 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four yards, and that's your difference. What 58 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 2: he marks went for one to twelve. That's the most 59 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: by a rookie in a playoff game since twenty twenty, 60 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: and Rodgers' final numbers one forty six, the fewest passing 61 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: yards of his twenty two playoff starts. Also, that pick 62 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: six the final pass, the first that he has thrown 63 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: in eight hundred and seven career postseason passing attempts. So 64 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 2: let me focus on Rogers right now, and then we'll 65 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: look at Mike Tommlin. Here is Aaron Rodgers ask about 66 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: what he's going to do next year? 67 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: And is that game affect your decision for what to 68 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 4: do next year in anyway? 69 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 5: No, I mean, I'm not going to make any emotional decisions. Disappointed, 70 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 5: you know, obviously such a fun year, you know, a 71 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 5: lot of adversity, but a lot. 72 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: A lot of fun. 73 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 5: Been a great year, you know, overall my life in 74 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 5: the last the last year, and this is you know, 75 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 5: a really good part of that coming here and being 76 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 5: part of this team. So it's this pointing to be 77 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 5: sitting here, what's season over? 78 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not going to make a quick decision there 79 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: because he hasn't made quick decisions before this drags out. 80 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: But you wonder, if you're Pittsburgh, Let's say you're Mike 81 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,799 Speaker 2: Tomlin and you come back, do you want Aaron Rodgers 82 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 2: to come back? If you're the Steelers, do you want 83 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin to come back? Do you want Aaron Rodgers 84 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: to come back? Now, I certainly get the feeling, and 85 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: I don't have any insight, any information other than what 86 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: you probably have available to you. And that is, if 87 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 2: Mike wants to come back, he can come back and 88 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 2: if he wants to take a year or two often 89 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: do TV that's going to be available. Aaron Rodgers, his 90 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: prospects aren't very good because if it's not Pittsburgh, who's 91 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: going to bring in Aaron Rodgers? Who will then be 92 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: forty three? And he did look forty three last night. 93 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 2: He looked even older than that. His lineman looked forty three. 94 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: But Aaron Rodgers, I don't see him doing TV. It 95 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 2: feels like he'll do He'll be Joe Rogan, He'll do 96 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: something like that and probably, you know, he has the 97 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: freedom to do that. He can then you know, have 98 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: an audience, have a platform, and probably make a ton 99 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: of money. As for Mike Tomlin, I see him doing 100 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: TV probably for a couple of years, and then you know, 101 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: and being around Tony Dungeye and some of these other 102 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 2: coaches when I was at the mother Ship, they really 103 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: needed it. They needed to almost disengage from all of that. 104 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: And then you're able to watch, You're able to you 105 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: get to enjoy, you get to see, you're watching football, 106 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: you're talking football, and you don't wake up on Monday 107 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 2: or Tuesday morning feeling like he does. And I'll talk 108 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: to Bill Kauer about that next hour of you know 109 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: that sort of disengage and then you kind of settle in. 110 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: And we've seen a lot of coaches who do that 111 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: and then they go back in and then you'll there's 112 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: going to be six or seven openings next year and 113 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: the year after that six or seven openings. The question 114 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: is does he want to coach again and if so where? 115 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: But I don't. I don't see him coaching another team 116 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: this next season other than if he does, it's it's Pittsburgh. 117 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: But I started to watch and just say, I know 118 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: he had a you know, he has a winning record, 119 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: he got into the playoffs. They're they're just not a 120 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: threatening team. Now I'm not a DK Metcalf fan. Just 121 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: didn't feel like they could do anything where you go, wow, 122 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: that team is that they can they can get they 123 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 2: can put some points up there, and the defense played 124 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: pretty well, but it feels like an old team and 125 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: maybe because you got Rogers, but it feels like your 126 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: window is small. Just ask the Detroit Lions. Because we 127 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 2: make this mistake, we go and they'll be back next year. 128 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: There is no guarantee of next year, and the Lions 129 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: are for removed from Super Bowl contention, and they were 130 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: healthy this year. There's no guarantee, Oh, Pittsburgh will have 131 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: a winning record next year. Okay, But as I said 132 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: to you, either early this week or last week, if 133 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: you said to a Steeler fan, hey, I'll give you 134 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: ten years of making the playoffs, but you don't win 135 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: a playoff game, you're going to sign up for that? 136 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: And the answer is no, you're not. But how many 137 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: franchises would sign up for that? You're relevant, you make 138 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: the playoffs, you play in big games, but you don't 139 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: win playoff games. And that's where Pittsburgh is. Mike Tomlin, 140 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: I think with that roster probably overachieved. Now, the division 141 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: wasn't very good because the Bengals weren't good, the Browns 142 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 2: certainly weren't good, and the Ravens were average as well. 143 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: But if you're the Steelers, do you want to bring 144 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: back Mike Tomlin? Do you hope that he decides to 145 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: take a TV job? Aaron Rodgers got a little frosty 146 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 2: on Mike Tomlin possibly being on the hot seat. 147 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 5: I mean this, This league has changed a lot in 148 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 5: my twenty one years. You know, when you hear conversation 149 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 5: about the the Mike Tomlins of the world, Matt Lafleor's 150 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 5: of the world. Those just two that kind of have 151 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 5: played for And when I first got in the league, 152 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 5: there wouldn't be conversation about whether those guys were. 153 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: On the hot seat, you know. 154 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 5: But the way that the league is covered now and 155 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 5: the way that there's snap decisions and validitally given to 156 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 5: the you know, the Twitter experts and all the experts 157 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 5: on TV now you make it seem like they know 158 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,359 Speaker 5: what the hell they're talking about. To me, that's an absolute. 159 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: Joke, Okay. Is he blaming the so called experts or 160 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: the people who listen to the so called experts, because 161 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: we can say whatever we want if you get some 162 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: team president or GM going. You know, I was listening 163 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: to Dan Patrick, you know what, I'm thinking that ain't happening. 164 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: There are a lot of experts out there, erin you, 165 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: but I don't think any front office is going, uh wait, 166 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: what did they say? What did Ryan Clark say on 167 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: get up Damian Woody? What are they what should we do? Yeah? 168 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 4: Suton, right, And why would you compare guys like Ryan 169 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 4: Clark and Damian Woody or say like Teddy Bruski or 170 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 4: Jeff Saturday. Their opinions are the same as random people 171 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 4: on Twitter. Yeah, why would you like lump them all together? 172 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 4: They're they're former players, just like you're eventually going to be. 173 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 4: Why do not have the respect for them too? 174 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: Yeah? 175 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 2: Look, you know, I understand Aaron's going to take a 176 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: shot at the media. I get that, but you know, 177 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 2: be fair in who you're taking a shot at here, 178 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 2: Because if you're a front office and you're waiting to 179 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: listen to Dan Orlobsky and you're going to go, that's 180 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 2: the decision we're going to make. I'm going to put 181 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 2: that on the front office, not Dana Rolopsky or if 182 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 2: you get somebody who's never played the game like me. Yeah, 183 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 2: I don't. 184 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 4: We keep linking them, but I think it's because they're 185 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 4: in such sim situations. With John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin, 186 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 4: And sometimes I don't know that you can make a 187 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 4: snap decision on a coach that's been there for twenty years. 188 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 4: I don't really know that nobody this year is just like, 189 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 4: whoa one bad year with Tomlin? Better get him out 190 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 4: of there. Sometimes I think that Harbaugh and Tomlin are 191 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 4: in the exact same situation in that sometimes it just 192 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 4: runs its course. It's been twenty years or almost twenty years, 193 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 4: fifteen twenty years, whatever it's been. You know, maybe we've 194 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 4: just kind of gone as far as we can and 195 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 4: maybe you go look somewhere else now. 196 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: And it's happened down through history with coaches. I mean, 197 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: this isn't anything new. And he didn't just sit on 198 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: a hot seat. The seat the temperature was being raised 199 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 2: locally in Baltimore and Pittsburgh, not nationally. That the conversation 200 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: about Mike Tomlin locally is far different than nationally because 201 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 2: all of these former players and they're all saying the 202 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 2: same thing. Man, that's guy you want to play for. Man, 203 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 2: a great job. Man, he always wins. Locally, they're going, 204 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 2: we haven't won a playoff game in ten years. Yes, 205 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 2: we have a five hundred or better record. Yay. And 206 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: see Pittsburgh is always like they're never going to be 207 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: bad enough where they can get better because they're kind 208 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: of in the middle, Like you're not going to be 209 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: drafting in the top five, and that's part of the problem. 210 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 2: Like it's weird to say they got to get worse 211 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 2: to get better. But this happens with NBA teams all 212 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 2: the time. You get worse to get better, Like the 213 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: Spurs got bad, they got the number one pick and 214 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: then they got the number two pick, and go back 215 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 2: to when they had Duncan and David Robinson. They had 216 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 2: to be bad to get good. Pittsburgh's never I mean, 217 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: it's a credit to that organization and I don't see 218 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: them doing a rebuild. And if they do, does Mike 219 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 2: Tomlin want to be around for that? Yeah, Paulie. 220 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 6: I was looking at what coaches from the past who 221 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 6: got fired who were really shocking, and probably the biggest 222 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 6: one all time is Tom Landry in Dallas, and I 223 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 6: wanted to look because I don't remember that well. 224 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 2: He missed the playoffs three straight years. 225 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 6: Seven and nine, seven and eight, but his last year 226 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 6: he was three and thirteen, And like you said, there's 227 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 6: the opening, because Tom Landry never had a three and 228 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 6: thirteen season. And then finally that was the one. 229 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: Our stat of the day brought to you by Panini America, 230 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 2: the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show and 231 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: the first home We're brought to you by the great 232 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: folks at tire Rack Rover forty years helping us find 233 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: the right tires for how and what and where we 234 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: drive ship fast and free back by free road hazard 235 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire 236 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 2: rack dot com is the way tire buying should be. 237 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: Whole question, Seaton, what do you have for me? 238 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 4: I think we're going to go with a couple of 239 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 4: yes no options right out of the gate. Pretty basic, 240 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 4: pretty standard, what you expect. Has Aaron Rodgers played his 241 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 4: last games as Mike Tomlin coached his last game with 242 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 4: the Steelers. 243 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: Yes, no, yes, no. We got to get everybody on record. Okay, Well, 244 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 2: we'll take a break and we'll answer try to answer 245 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 2: those questions coming up, other pole questions. Bill Cower will 246 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: join us, and we'll also check in with Reggie Miller 247 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: as well. I saw where who's now? James Harden is 248 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: now ninth on the all time scoring list. He just 249 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: surpassed Shaquille O'Neal. And we were wondering this this morning 250 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 2: when I came in, wondering where's James Harden? Like, when 251 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: it's all said and done, how do we view James Harden? 252 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 2: Because you can make a case he did change the game. 253 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: Now you might say did he change the game for 254 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: the better. Because Steph Curry changed the game, James Harden 255 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 2: changed the game as well. But I don't know how 256 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 2: history like Russell Westbrook Junior, the third I don't know 257 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: history is now. They're both first BATTL Hall of famers. 258 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: But we'll talk about that. James Harden's he's ninth on 259 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: the all time scoring list. We'll take a break, we'll 260 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: get back to you with your phone calls. We'll settle 261 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: on our poll question.

The Bills are now on underdogs in Denver. 275 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 2: It was one and a half points that the Bills 276 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: would be giving now they're getting one and a half, 277 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: the Niners getting seven and a half at Seattle, the 278 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: Texans plus three against the Patriots, and the Rams minus 279 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 2: three and a half against the Bears. So the only 280 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: change was Buffalo in Denver. And you've got some injuries there. 281 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: You've got Nico Collins, Christian Gonzalez, like those are marquee guys. 282 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: Concussion protocol and Okay, I'm gonna sound like the grumpy 283 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: old man that I am. I appreciated having a football 284 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: game on last night. I don't think we should have 285 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: Monday night games in the playoffs. I just don't think 286 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: that it's fair a shorter week regular season. Obviously, Mothership's 287 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: gonna get Monday night football games. We have Thursday night games, 288 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: but the playoffs. I'm not even big on Saturday. But 289 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 2: you know, I'm not going to turn down watching a 290 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: football game. I just want to be fair to the teams. 291 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: And you know, the Texans after that game, so you 292 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: get it, you know, half day, a full day less 293 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: than everybody else. So I'm watching it and it wasn't 294 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: good football either. Maybe that played into it as well, Yeah, 295 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: maybe they Yeah, but I just do we need Monday 296 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: night football. And I know Mothership pays a lot of 297 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 2: money they want a standalone game. I get it, but 298 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: I could do without it if it meant that everybody's 299 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: going to be starting from the you know, same same page, 300 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: square one, yeah, Mark. 301 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 7: And it's also messing up next week's divisional round because 302 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 7: the game that everyone wants to see, the Bills versus 303 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 7: the Broncos, it's going to be Saturday. That's a Houston 304 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,119 Speaker 7: Texans I know time, yes, not the Bills versus the Broncos. 305 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 7: So that messed up everything for next weekend too. 306 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: And that's the first game on Saturday, correct, because you 307 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 2: got Rams and Bears then on Saturday Night. But you 308 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: had to put the Texans on Sunday. And they're going 309 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 2: to be the early game against the Patriots or Niners 310 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: Seahawks Saturday night. 311 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 6: Yes, paulin, are we automatically playing the game if you 312 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 6: could only watch one game this weekend already? 313 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: We can't do that now, No, no, no, I can't 314 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 2: do that yet. We'll do a Friday, Maybe Friday the 315 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: most watched game of the weekend instead of the most 316 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 2: must win game of the weekend. All right, is this 317 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: sustainable what the Texans did last night? Now, I don't 318 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 2: expect c. J. Stroud to have five fumbles, but that 319 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 2: defense is great. It is Will Anderson, d Nale Hunter 320 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: the secondary. But I don't know if this is sort 321 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 2: of like the Ravens with Trent Dilfer. Hey, all you 322 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: got to do is get ten points. That was the 323 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: famous line. Ray Lewis said, Hey, just get ten points, guys, 324 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 2: and then we'll win the game. I don't know if 325 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 2: it's similar to that, but that is a very very 326 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 2: good defense. 327 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 8: You know. 328 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 2: I go back to the Patriots when they had an 329 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 2: elite defense, when Tom Brady was just starting. They weren't 330 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: winning because of Tom Brady. They were winning because of 331 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 2: their defense. Even with Eli Manning, the defense was great. 332 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 2: Those Super Bowl wins they won because of defense and 333 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 2: of course some big passes by Elive the Broncos in 334 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, an elite defense helping Peyton Manning win another 335 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: Super Bowl in his final season. Defense travels, it does 336 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: now if you get a running game and that defense 337 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 2: I'm asking CJ. Stroud to just be threatening occasionally threatening. 338 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: And I know Pittsburgh got a good defense. You're playing 339 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 2: on the road, and I understand all of that, but 340 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 2: you know, he's got to have a game. He's got 341 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: to have, you know, a Rmans against the Patriots here. 342 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 2: But that I mean, I wouldn't be a surprised Texans 343 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 2: won that game. I really think that much of that defense. 344 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 2: It's just I don't know about CJ. Stroud. I want 345 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: to see a big moment from him that he can 346 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 2: kind of accompany that defense, not be hey, I'm kind 347 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 2: of hanging on for dear life, or you're carrying me 348 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 2: to the next round and you get a running game. Okay, 349 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 2: I don't know about Nico Collins. That's a big loss there, 350 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: big loss, you know, for an offense that wasn't very threatening. 351 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 2: And then you have the question of, okay, what are 352 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 2: the Steelers do. Let's take Mike Tomlin out of the 353 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: equation right now. Okay, if I'm the Steelers, what am 354 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 2: I thinking now? I don't know if it factors in 355 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: if Mike Tomlin comes back or not. You still need 356 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: to find a quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Moving forward, shouldn't be 357 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 2: your number one option. Can you trade can you trade up? 358 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: Is there a quarterback you want? Can you have a 359 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: gap year and say all right, let's uh, maybe we 360 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 2: do get a little worse to then get a little better. 361 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 2: But that's the hard party. Who are you getting? Are 362 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 2: you sold on any of these quarterback Fernando Mendoza? You're 363 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: not getting? You sold on Trinidad Shambless. Yeah, Paulie. 364 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 6: The Steelers right now have the twenty first pick of 365 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 6: the draft. They also have a lot of cap space. 366 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 6: They're eighth in the league in available cap space with 367 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 6: thirty three million, so they're in pretty decent shape money wise, especially. 368 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 2: If Rodgers leaves. So what do you do? 369 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 6: I'll throw one out. Would you if you weren't going 370 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 6: to stick with Rogers because you don't think he can 371 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 6: get you further? What about trading for a guy like 372 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 6: Mac Jones of the forty nine Ers? 373 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 2: I would take Mac Jones over Aaron Rodgers right now. 374 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 2: Mac Jone's probably twenty eight. Yeah. Yeah, Now, once again, 375 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 2: I'm one of those guys that Aaron Rodgers is probably 376 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 2: talking about that I don't know what I'm talking about, 377 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 2: But would I take Mac Jones. I mean, the reason 378 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 2: why the Niners are where they are is because Mac 379 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 2: Jones won five of eight games for them. And I 380 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: do think he's a star. I think he's he's rock Purty. 381 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 2: He just saw Gett paid two hundred and sixty five 382 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 2: million dollars. He's a little less pretty, thank you, thank you, 383 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 2: thank you, but still handsome. Mac Jones would be great. 384 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 9: You know. 385 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 2: Then you get a younger quarterback, but you know, you're 386 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: kind of in that no man's zone there, like who 387 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 2: are we? What are we? We're still defense and running 388 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 2: the football. We're an older team. Ravens getting a new coach, 389 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 2: Bengals will run it back. Maybe the Browns figured out 390 00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: one of these days. So it's a winnable division, and 391 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 2: it's a division that's in a state of flux here. 392 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: But I don't know what you know trying to find 393 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 2: that quarterback who's more than just a bridge quarterback. And 394 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: it's not that Aaron Rodgers can't play. It's just sometimes 395 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: when you play and I saw this with Michael Jordan 396 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 2: with the Wizards, when you play the way he did 397 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 2: with the Bulls and then you go to the Wizards, 398 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 2: well you're not that same guy you may think you are, 399 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 2: and that's part of the problem. You know, Rogers used 400 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 2: to roll right and just he'd be throwing darts. He 401 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 2: was unbelievable. Well, now you might kind of roll right, 402 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 2: but you're not getting you know, you're not running away 403 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: from anybody. And he was more Joe Flacco last night, 404 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: more stationary and you know, you're not even throwing for 405 00:22:53,280 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 2: two hundred yards there, So trying to find that Guybody's 406 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: trying to find that guy. 407 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 10: Yeah. 408 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like in our in our head, we think 409 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,959 Speaker 4: that Aaron Rodgers is more Matthew Stafford than Joe Flacco 410 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 4: is really more Joe Flacco. 411 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, lad pol. 412 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 6: Bringing Joe Flacco a younger quarterback, he's forty and a half. 413 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 2: We're gonna go with the younger quarterback, with the young 414 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: Who are we going with Flacco? Steelers youth movement reach 415 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: out to Tom Brady. You know why not? 416 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 10: Tom? 417 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 2: Do you want to win a Super Bowl with a 418 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 2: third franchise? Here, we'll bring you in, all right, we'll 419 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 2: get phone calls coming up. Also, I mentioned that James 420 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 2: Harden is now the ninth all time leading score in 421 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 2: NBA history. There was a time when I thought he 422 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 2: was must see TV, you know, when he would go 423 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 2: for thirty three thirty four points, eleven assists. He created 424 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: a move. Now we all thought, maybe you still think 425 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 2: it's traveling. But he did create almost like Manu Ginobli 426 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 2: created the euro step. He created that step back jumper. 427 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 2: But he didn't win. Is anybody going to retire his jersey? 428 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 2: The Clippers had never retired a jersey. They should be 429 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 2: retiring Chris Paul. But okay, so he's not. Does Houston 430 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 2: retire his jersey? And okay, that's not the mark of 431 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: you know whatever, excellent, But he's just kind of been 432 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 2: that guy who puts up great numbers. It's like Russell 433 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: Westbrook Junior the third where I go, first bound Hall 434 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 2: of Famer. But what how do you how do you 435 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: sum up Russell Westbrook? He was a triple double? Okay? 436 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: What else? 437 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 6: Yes, Paul James harden Peak years Houston Rockets. He had 438 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 6: seasons with third thirty six and nine thirty four, even 439 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 6: crazy thirty six and nine thirty four and eleven. I mean, 440 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 6: these are really nuts. He led the league and assist twice, 441 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 6: he led the league in scoring three times. He got 442 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 6: them to the play. He played in eighty five playoff 443 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 6: games for the Houston Rockets. It's a lot of playoff 444 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 6: games without getting to the promise. 445 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 2: But he had. He had a few playoff games where 446 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 2: he played terrible. 447 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 7: Yes, Mark, they were up three to two on the 448 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 7: Warriors and then decided to miss twenty seven straight three 449 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 7: pointers in Game seven. That's what I remember. And people 450 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 7: were gonna forget that he played for the Sixers and 451 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 7: the Nets. It's gonna look like a journeyman almost, yep. 452 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 7: But he's one of the top ten greatest scorers of 453 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 7: all time statistics wise. 454 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just weird. You know, I've been 455 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 2: doing this so long. I see you when you come in, 456 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: I see you when you leave, and you know, you 457 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: try to have a Rolodex in your mind. You go, Okay, 458 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: what do you remember about that guy? And it feels 459 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: like Harden created a move. That's what I'll remember him 460 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: more so because he didn't play in big he didn't 461 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 2: perform in big games, Yes, Todd, So do you think it. 462 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 11: Would be unwarranted or desperate of the Rockets too at 463 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 11: some point put Harden's jersey up on the on the 464 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 11: rafts to me when I think Harden, I think the 465 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 11: first team. I think of his Rockets, and not just 466 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 11: because of the number of years he played there. But 467 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 11: I don't think it would be odd to see Harden's 468 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 11: jersey hanging from the Rockets rafters. 469 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't. I mean, if they put it 470 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 2: up there, that's the French, you know, they decide what 471 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 2: they want to do. But I'm just saying that, did 472 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: he leave a mark any place that he played? Yeah, 473 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 2: only I'm looking at the Rockets retired numbers. I think 474 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: he's getting in. Alvin Hayes, Rudy, Tom Jonovich, Hakeem Olajuan, 475 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 2: of course, Moses Alone, of course, Calvin Murphy, Clyde Drexler. 476 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 2: Yao Ming got in. Yao Ming had six good years 477 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 2: and maybe two great years, and he got in injuries. 478 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 2: Of course, I think he's getting in. You need a 479 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: ceremony every once every decade or so. Yeah, But Yo 480 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: Ming had an I packed on the NBA coming from China, 481 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 2: so that that was more than just him playing basketball there. 482 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 2: You're right, it was a shorter career than what you 483 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: would have hoped for there with him. But I don't know, 484 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 2: James Harden. It felt like he's gonna get his I 485 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 2: just don't know if they're gonna win. That goes back 486 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 2: to you can put up great numbers, are you a 487 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 2: great player? Now, he's a great player. It's just he's 488 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 2: not somebody that I would have won on my team, 489 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 2: not if I was trying to win a championship. Now, 490 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 2: if I wanted somebody I could go and see every night, yeah, 491 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: I would want him on my team. 492 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 8: Yeah. 493 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 4: It feels like there was a point in time that 494 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 4: you could have had him on your team. There was 495 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,239 Speaker 4: an early James Harden that was like, dang, we might 496 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 4: be able to figure something out with this. 497 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 12: Well. 498 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: He was a curiosity in OKC because they had Westbrook 499 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 2: and they had Durant and then Harden, and then Harden 500 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 2: wanted his own team and went to Houston. 501 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, I'm looking at the all time scoring list 502 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 6: and Steph Curry as of today is twenty first with 503 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 6: twenty six two fifty. There's this log jam between twenty 504 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 6: four thousand and twenty seven thousand. At his pace, Steph Curry, 505 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 6: this year he's twenty first. Now he will be He'll 506 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 6: be twelfth at the end of the season. He'll go 507 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 6: from twenty first to twelfth. 508 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 2: How many other players can James Harden surpass? Uh? Nobody. 509 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 6: I don't think Wilt Chamberlain is almost three thousand points 510 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 6: ahead of him in the A spot. 511 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: Okay, that's takes some work. Yeah, but if he plays 512 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 2: another couple of years, he's gonna get him up. Yeah. 513 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 6: Well, I have a quick quiz for you if you 514 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 6: want it, A quick quiz, an NBA quiz Marvin Fritzy, No, no, 515 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 6: NBA music Fitty. 516 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 2: Now give me NFL. We are Fox Sports, alright, boll. 517 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 6: Okay, I'm removing the top ten scores of all time. 518 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 6: Who's would you want? Of the guys from eleven to twenty? 519 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 2: You got to pick their career. I'll go quickly. 520 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 6: Carmelo Anthony, Moses Malone, Elvin Hayes, a Keem Elijahwan, Russ Westbrook, 521 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 6: Oscar Robertson, Not Robinson, Dominique Wilkins, season, Tim Duncan, Paul Pierce, 522 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 6: John Halichick. Those are the second ten scores in NBA history. 523 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Tim Duncan, and then I'm going to 524 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 2: give John havelcheck. Who might He's on the top five 525 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 2: most underrated players of all time? I think he won 526 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 2: eight titles, didn't lose a championship, and I think he 527 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 2: had twenty six thousand points. And Bill Russell said, he's 528 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: the best player that I've ever played with. And then 529 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: I would put a keam Elijahan in there, who I 530 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: one of my all time favorite players. So you got 531 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: to put Timmy in there because he's a top ten player. 532 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 2: Hailcheck was wonderful, created the sixth band, and then you 533 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 2: put a Keem in there. Yeah, Paul the. 534 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 6: Least respected guy in the top twenty. I'm gonna say 535 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 6: Carmelo Anthony or Dominique Wilkins. 536 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 2: I'd say Carmelo because Niek was the human highlight. Carmelo 537 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: was the human black hole, one of the great mid 538 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 2: range jumpers of all time. Oh, I know you love 539 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 2: I You know what when I talk to a girl 540 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 2: and she say, what do you do? Well, I go, 541 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 2: I got a damn good mid range jumper. Where's your car? Oh? 542 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 2: I don't have a car. I have a bike, not 543 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 2: a motorcycle. Yes, Seaton. 544 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 12: Yeah. 545 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 4: When Paul ran through that list, my answer was Carmelo Anthony. 546 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 4: Even though I know you're supposed to say Tim Duncan, 547 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 4: You're supposed to say then after that, maybe Paul Pierce 548 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 4: or whatever. There's a certain hierarchy of guys you're supposed 549 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 4: to say none of them are wrong. But I think 550 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 4: sort of to Paul's point, and a really underappreciated career, 551 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 4: maybe it never quite lived up to what we thought 552 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 4: it was going to be. But he was an awesome player. 553 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 7: Yeah, Moses Malone probably the most disrespected three time MVP 554 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 7: of all time bar nine. His name is never mentioned 555 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 7: in the top ten, and. 556 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 2: Even when you talk about great centers of all time, 557 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 2: Momomo faux fo fo doesn't get mentioned in that. His 558 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 2: highlight tape, though, is not No, it's not good. A 559 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 2: couple of stickbacks, it's not good. It was. Oh there's 560 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 2: another offensive rebound and there's a putback. 561 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 3: Uh. 562 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 2: Oh, there's a little like a seven foot floater. Yes, Paulie, 563 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 2: my pick. 564 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 6: Is Hakim Olijan. It's pretty obvious. I still think he's 565 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 6: underrated and his game would translate to today whatever because 566 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 6: he had that, you know, twelve foot baseline shot, very athletic. 567 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 2: Got the dream shake he was his footwork was so good, 568 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 2: so good. 569 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 7: Yes, Marph, Sorry, going back to Moses Malone, I just 570 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 7: remember him, just absolutely dominating. Kareem Abdul Jabbar like oh 571 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 7: cream won it? No part of Moses Malon Dame. 572 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Wow, careful coming after Kareem? 573 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: All right? 574 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 2: It was just facts, all right, just facts, all right. 575 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 2: We'll get to your phone calls coming up.

Okay. 599 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 6: I think this year he made three and a half 600 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 6: million as his base and a ten million dollars signing books. 601 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 6: And I added that that's a thirteen point six mine. 602 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you for doing the heavy list there. 603 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 2: Thank you much, Lucas and Texas. Hey Lucas, congratulations on 604 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 2: your Texans. Hey day, good morning. Yeah. 605 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 3: I want to say that this win is sweet for 606 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 3: two main reasons. The first off is, you know, you 607 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 3: have your team go throughout the season. There's nothing quite 608 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 3: like you know, you're not a harp cent. Sure your 609 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 3: team is good or not, and yeah, the jury is 610 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 3: still out on the offense. But man, that defense, I 611 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 3: mean that feels like a Raven's two thousand kind of 612 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 3: defense that maybe this team is good enough just to 613 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 3: skatee ony in one half of the field and actually 614 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 3: go pretty far. The second reason that this is such 615 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 3: a sweet win is that I grew up with my 616 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 3: dad right around the time that the Oilers and the 617 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 3: City Houston were having their ugly divorce, and so, you know, 618 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 3: I never got the experience Love You Blue, obviously, but 619 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 3: if there was one thing that my dad gave me 620 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 3: from the Love You Blue era, it was an intense 621 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 3: hatred for the Steelers. You know, we just ranted the 622 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 3: steel curtains so many times there weren't able to get 623 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 3: passed to the super Bowl and to go into Pittsburgh 624 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 3: and to have a defense just completely dominate him like 625 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 3: THEIRS did to us for so many years. Man, that 626 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 3: was sweet. 627 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 2: So it was a great win. Suck at Pittsburgh, Chris 628 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 2: and Syracuse, Hi, Chris. 629 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 9: Hey, Thanks Dan, Yet a couple of things for you. Yeah, 630 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 9: Aaron Rodgers last pass of his Hall of Fame career 631 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 9: is going to be a pick six in the playoffs. 632 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 9: But at down the road, nobody's going to remember that. 633 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 9: And Dan, I know this won't happen. But if Mike 634 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 9: Tomlins still wanted to coach, and if Pittsburgh word to 635 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 9: move off of Mike Tomlin, that would put the Ravens 636 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 9: and Steelers both looking for head coaches. Both teams would 637 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 9: like a proven coach who ideally knows the AFC North 638 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 9: and Dan you joked a path joked about it last week. 639 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 9: I think from the coaches that are available right now, 640 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 9: the best option for both teams would be straight out 641 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 9: of the movie Lucky Number seleven, the Old Kansas City Shuffle. 642 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 9: Tomon goes to the Ravens, Barbad goes to the Steelers. 643 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 2: Thank you, Chris, that's a deep cut there. Yeah, you 644 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 2: got the Browns need to coach. Ravens need a coach, 645 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 2: Steelers may need a coach. And we thought the Bengals 646 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 2: were well, they still may need a coach, but they 647 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 2: decided that they weren't going to do anything. So the 648 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 2: division is in a state of flux there. But this 649 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 2: will come down to I believe if Mike Tomlin wants 650 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 2: to coach again. It sounds like all indications are and 651 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 2: Tony Dungee joined us and he was speaking with the 652 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 2: front office and it felt like, of course, we'll bring 653 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 2: Mike back if he wants to come back. I just 654 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 2: don't know, like there's part of him that has to 655 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 2: be realistic and look at this and say, can I 656 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 2: achieve what I want to? Can we win? Can we 657 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 2: be a postseason fource? I don't know. I think you 658 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 2: have to be honest when you look at that. Even 659 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 2: though the divisions in a state of flux. Can you 660 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 2: be a force? Can you be a Super Bowl contender? 661 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 2: Not just hey, I got a winning record and we 662 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 2: got into the postseason and maybe a step away. I 663 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 2: mean Andy Reid took the Eagles as far as he 664 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 2: could take them, and he goes to Kansas City. Maybe 665 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 2: a change of scenery with Mike maybe a couple of years, 666 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 2: you know, a respite, go in, have a pit stop, 667 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 2: do some TV, and then maybe you'll pick the ideal place, 668 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 2: a place that has a quarterback or the opportunity to 669 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 2: draft a quarterback. Yeah, PAULI could you see. 670 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 6: The decision with Tomlin being in the next two or 671 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 6: three days? And I asked that because I read an 672 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 6: article in the Athletic and they said the reason for 673 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,439 Speaker 6: black Monday is you want to pull the band aid 674 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 6: immediately after the season because the next few days our 675 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 6: coaches meetings, they have exit interviews with players under contract, coaches, 676 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 6: assistant coaches, and they make decisions about their futures off those. 677 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 6: You don't want to have your head coach who's about 678 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 6: to be fired. Do those interviews. 679 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 2: But I don't know if Mike Tomman, Well, once again, 680 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 2: I don't know the inner workings of the Steelers. If 681 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 2: how long did you give him to give you an answer, 682 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 2: because I would hope you would have an answer this week. 683 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 2: I don't know if it impacts who you go after. 684 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 2: I get if you do it right now, does that change? 685 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 2: Are you going after Kevin Stefanski? You know you got 686 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 2: John Harbaugh reportedly interviewing with the Falcons. Matt Ryan just 687 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 2: got hired as the president of football operations there with 688 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 2: the Falcons. And what was reported yesterday is Harball is 689 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 2: probably looking at the Falcons and the Giants. Now I 690 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 2: was told Giants all along. You know, I'm sure he's 691 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 2: going to survey the situation. You know, make sure that 692 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 2: he gets the most money. Hey, I might go to Atlanta, 693 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 2: maybe the Giants up the ante there, and then Kevin 694 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 2: Stefanski might take the job that John Harball doesn't take. 695 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, you mentioned Mike Tomlin as a media person 696 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,919 Speaker 6: many times on this show. Three days ago, a seat 697 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 6: opened up on CBS Sports this weekend show. 698 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I brought that up that with Matt Ryan leaving, 699 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 2: I could see where Mike Tomlin. Could you know, I 700 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 2: joked Cower in Tomlin on the same set would be interesting. 701 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 2: But talk to Bill Cower, is he who's he planning 702 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 2: on sitting in that seat? Andrew in Washington? Hi Andrew, 703 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 2: what's on your mind? Oh? Good morning, Dan Dennis. 704 00:38:58,960 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my call. 705 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 10: Yeah. 706 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 8: I think it's time for us just to wait for 707 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers to go on to Pat mcavie show while 708 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 8: he's in this dark room on ayahuasca and tell us 709 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 8: what he's going to do, because I mean, you could 710 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 8: tell he was all of forty two years old. The 711 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,240 Speaker 8: funny thing is is the Miko Ryans is only forty 712 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 8: one years old. As a coach for the Houston Texans. 713 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 8: He sacked Aaron Rodgers back in two thousand and eight 714 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 8: in a game that's the least points Aaron Rodgers has 715 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 8: ever scored in a playoff game for a team that 716 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 8: he quarterback. Is the least passing yards by a Steeler 717 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 8: in a playoff game since twenty eleven, and from what 718 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,439 Speaker 8: I see is it's the least amount of total yards 719 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 8: one hundred and seventy five by a Steelers team in 720 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 8: the playoffs. So I think all indications are that that 721 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 8: pick six will be his last past, like christ and 722 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 8: Syracuse said, and this time for him to move on 723 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 8: and find his next venture, which you know, I don't 724 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 8: know he'll be in media or not, but I'm pretty 725 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 8: much done from hearing about him for a little while. 726 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,240 Speaker 8: It'll be good for a break. 727 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 2: I could see him hosting a podcast. I could see him. 728 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 2: He could he could be Joe Rogan or work with 729 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,240 Speaker 2: Joe Rogan. I don't know if I see him in sports. 730 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 2: I got kind of seems beneath him. Maybe a little sports, 731 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 2: but I don't know. I just I don't see him 732 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 2: being enthusiastic to chop up a Carolina Panthers game or something. 733 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 2: I just don't Steve in New Hampshire, Hey Steve. 734 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 12: Hey Dan Dann's, how are you guys good?
