Steelers Roster Check, Penguins Return

1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:07,200
This is the Sports Porch Black
and Gold with your hosts, the

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:13,840
technical director, the Grand
Schwabini and Hockey Jesus.

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,480
Come on Pittsburgh, let's show a
little.

4
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,040
Steelers, Penguins and Pirates
love The sports Porch.

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,600
Black and Gold starts.
Now.

6
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,320
I'm getting a little tired of
that intro guys.

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,200
You think I should change it up?
Oh yeah, you should definitely

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,800
change it up.
You think so?

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,520
Yeah.
Well, I think it's a yeah.

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,480
Every year, you know, make.
It fresh.

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,160
I think it's a decision to have
off air, yeah, that that we

12
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:48,120
don't bring the fans into.
Yeah, well, anyway, thanks for

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,600
being.
I don't think fans care about

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,240
it.
No, I don't think they do

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,000
either, but they might.
You never know.

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Sports, Sports Black and Gold is
right here with you on YouTube

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,240

Click notifications.

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,560
It's 7:00 PM on a Monday night.
Officially 701 right now.

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,920
We're coming to you live from
the Basement Studios in

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,680
Monroeville.
I'm the technical director.

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,080
That's Hockey Jesus over there.
He's in the Greenfield studio,

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,400
neighbor of Mike McCarthy.
I guess we can say that

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,160
officially, right?
I mean, you don't live right

26
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,000
next door, but you know, a
couple blocks.

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,160
Close enough.
We're in the same neighborhood.

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,720
I, I'm sorry, a little Segway
before, after I, you know,

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,320
introduce the Grand Schwabini
below.

30
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:33,840
They're coming to us from
Indiana Township, or as he likes

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,720
to say.
South Fox Chapel, Lox Chapel.

32
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:45,400
North Northern Fox Chapel, I
think, anyway, Do you really

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,760
think Mike McCarthy, he doesn't
live in the house in Greensburg.

34
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,920
He's getting paid.
Greenfield.

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,360
Greenfield.
Excuse me, right?

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,960
He's got, I think he moved back
in to his parents old house.

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,960
You're shitting me.
Come on.

38
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,680
Really.
Of course I am.

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,320
No, he's not.
He's not.

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,320
I don't know where he's living,
to be honest with you.

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,880
Yeah, probably up in the North
Hills with all the other

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,639
Steelers.
All the all the Steelers live up

43
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,400
there in Cranberry.
Or most of them.

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,680
That way.
Yeah, most of them, Most of

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,440
them.
I, I know a few would have

46
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,080
rented, you know, homes down in
the city and stuff like that.

47
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,520
Yeah, like Washington Island.
That's where Ben used to live.

48
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:24,480
Right.
And and then there's all those

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,600
rumors about how Aaron Donald
supposedly had the top floor.

50
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,720
One of those, one of those
skyscrapers downtown.

51
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,920
I mean, I don't know if that's
fact or fiction.

52
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:38,440
Yeah, and I think somebody had
like a a South side slope house,

53
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,840
you know, so you can see it
overlook in the city.

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,480
AB didn't live anywhere.
He just, he just went around in

55
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,760
a helicopter and slept on
people's couches.

56
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,440
Oh.
Boy, all right, listen, man,

57
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,200
we're going to talk black and
gold sports tonight.

58
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,240
There's a lot of stuff going on
and and you know, we're probably

59
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200
going to, so we're going to
start with the World Baseball

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,000
Classic.
I mean, I feel like there's a

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,200
lot more going on here and a lot
more discussion about that here

62
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,640
in Pittsburgh because of the
obvious Pittsburgh connections.

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,040
So what does it mean to you?
I mean, and then we'll move on

64
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,760
to the Steelers now.
We've had a week plus of free

65
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,280
agency.
There was a big back out.

66
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,200
Everybody knows, you know, Max
Crosby's not going to the Ravens

67
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,960
now, but.
That's hilarious.

68
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,760
It is kind of funny, but what
we're going to do a little

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,080
Steelers roster check, the best
and worst free agency move so

70
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,120
far.
You know, do they still need

71
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,560
more to go?
And of course, the Penguins, We

72
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,880
got Crosby coming back soon,
right?

73
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,040
Malkin off his five game
suspension.

74
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Gino's Gino's playing tonight
for sure.

75
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,240
Crosby is not playing tonight
for sure but so his his return

76
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,040
is still TBD.
It could be.

77
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,800
It could be another 5 or 10
games honestly.

78
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,880
And then we're going to talk
about some things we've been

79
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,440
binge watching or watching and
tell you whether or not you

80
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,400
should do it.
You guys have some new ones.

81
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,080
I think I I'm bringing back an
old one.

82
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,480
I've actually got a lot going on
now in the streaming world.

83
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,040
I don't know how I came up with
all this time, but I'm literally

84
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,880
watching like 4 things at once
and somehow I'm able to keep

85
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,200
them all separated.
OK, so let's start World

86
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,840
Baseball classic drama.
Let's break it down.

87
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:30,320
OK, so everybody knows that the
USA won two to nothing.

88
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,800
Gunner Henderson, by the way, 2.
To 1. 2:00 to 1:00.

89
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,280
Thank you 2 to 1 Gunner
Henderson go OS everybody knows

90
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,080
that that final strike called is
controversial.

91
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,360
I don't want to go into the that
kind of stuff about.

92
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,000
Eddie as soon as they adopt the
the pitch thing then.

93
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Robo lumps.
I think this, I, I think this

94
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,680
brings that whole thing into
question.

95
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,480
Because, you know, I, I got to
admit I was listening to the PM

96
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,240
show on the fan while I was out
in my car smoking a cigar, You

97
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,840
know, 'cause that's what I do
around here when it's snowing

98
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:08,280
outside.
And I don't want to get, you

99
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:10,600
know, anyway, that's, it's my
third living room.

100
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:17,400
But I, I, I, I got to tell you,
like listening to that show, you

101
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,040
know, I got to give him credit.
They, they backed up what I've

102
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,960
been thinking all along.
The UMP was calling that low

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,640
strike all game long.
It was, it wasn't a one off.

104
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,640
And I, I, I think, and I'm going
to save the, the rhetoric about

105
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,200
their conversation.
I, I think what it led me to do

106
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,400
is dig in even more.
Listen, if you every, every

107
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,280
batter is different, they're
different size.

108
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:43,880
So that strike zone is
different.

109
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,680
I'm sorry it moves.
It's it's it's a computer.

110
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,640
It can handle.
It I, I, I get it.

111
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,320
But what I'm also saying is that
if you take the umpires, the

112
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,760
good umpires, 'cause he's a good
umpire, if he, if you take a

113
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,440
good umpire, the good umpires
out of the game, then they have

114
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,080
no reason to be there and
there's no human element.

115
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:09,320
It's always been one of the big
attractions of sports is that

116
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:14,480
the referees, the people calling
the game were human and made

117
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,640
mistakes.
And if and if you go to measures

118
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,880
to make it perfect, then you
really watered down, you water

119
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,120
it down.
That that's my opinion.

120
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,080
Well, you're trying to.
Well, you're barely using it,

121
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,600
you know, you get like 2
challenges the whole game and

122
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,320
you better leave them for that
last strike, you know, or you're

123
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,880
without a challenge.
So it barely does anything.

124
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,520
It just gets an important call
it am right?

125
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,040
That's all, Yeah.
And the other thing is when when

126
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,680
you leave the human element into
it, then it can be ruined by

127
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,800
gambling.
So you know that's going to

128
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,440
happen whether you, whether you
believe it or not, in our

129
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,720
lifetime, you will see an
absolute scandal from either a

130
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,680
player or a referee, umpire,
whatever you want to call the

131
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,640
people who you know, umph, the
games, they're going to be

132
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,080
bought off, it's going to
happen.

133
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,040
There's just too much money in
it right now.

134
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,240
And that's why I think
eventually it will just go to

135
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,000
robo umps because you can't buy
off a robo UMP unless you know

136
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,320
you know somebody.
Does hack.

137
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,080
Pewter and and and you can you
can change it by a millimeter on

138
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,880
each side for your own team or
something like that.

139
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,080
Yeah, well, you can hack those
things.

140
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,000
But, but, but you know what, HJ,
actually, you bring up a really

141
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,920
good point.
It's almost as if you're saying

142
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,000
that I, I'm, I don't want to say
you're, you're, you're

143
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,040
disagreeing with me about the
human element.

144
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,880
I, I, I want to think that you,
you like the human element, but

145
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,160
you're being more realistic
about it in saying that, look,

146
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,000
the technology is there and if
you want to keep the betting as

147
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,760
honest as possible, you got to
take the human element out of

148
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,080
it.
And then that way there's no

149
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,800
question.
So that, that's a point that I

150
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,440
really haven't heard.
Have you heard that point

151
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,560
anywhere?
No, but it's.

152
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,040
It's seems pretty obvious that
you pointed it out.

153
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,040
That that's what I'm saying like
that, that, that, you know, I'm

154
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,480
going OK, yeah, with, you know,
you have to kind of you have to

155
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,960
kind of merge the the online
betting and the legalized

156
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,960
gambling thing is just exploded.
And right, there's so much money

157
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,320
in it.
If I'm a referee or an umpire

158
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,360
and somebody's saying to me,
here's a chance for you to make,

159
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,799
you know, couple 100 grand in
one game, you know, not saying I

160
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,640
would do it, but you know,
there's a lot of greedy people

161
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,760
out there.
Or, you know, maybe your child.

162
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,200
Maybe your child needs surgery.
Right.

163
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,120
Or maybe there's something going
on that that you're not aware

164
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,080
of.
Well, that, that'll be when we

165
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,160
get universal healthcare, Mark.
Here we go again.

166
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,480
You have to make this a
political show.

167
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,080
Here we go again.
By the way, by the way, I did

168
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,280
hear one thing about the World
Baseball Classic.

169
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,000
I heard Paul Skeens pitched in
it last night.

170
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,640
He did, he did.
Maybe we should talk.

171
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,760
About that, well.
That's.

172
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,040
That's where I was going.
I mean that was a little bit of

173
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,960
a segue.
I think it was some great color

174
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,120
it it actually renews kind of of
that debate because you know,

175
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,720
the last thing I'll say is I
agreed with one of the one of

176
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,480
the guys on the fan on the PM
team.

177
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,200
I, I don't remember which one it
was, but he said, you know, why

178
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,560
complain?
I mean you, you had arguably one

179
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:32,120
of the best line UPS in ever in
baseball score more than one

180
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,440
run.
Yeah, I agree.

181
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,040
They had multiple, they had
multiple chances to score.

182
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,520
Of course you score one run.
It's your fault you lost.

183
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,080
That's right.
That's right.

184
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,360
So get over it.
Yes, Paul Skeens pitched 4 and a

185
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,480
third gave up six hits, which is
uncharacteristic, but great

186
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,160
lineup.
He was facing 1 earned run, 2

187
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,800
strikes, 2 strikeouts.
He did give up the home run, but

188
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,560
his ERA for the for the classic
so far is 1 point.

189
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:04,520
O8I mean, look, the guy's a
stud.

190
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Absolutely.
He's a, he's a stud.

191
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,280
Another cool thing.
David Bednar pitched, he got out

192
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,800
of a jam with two KS.
I think he pitched in the 5th,

193
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,840
6th, 7th inning.
And then Mason Miller from, I

194
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,240
think he's from Bednar's, from
Mars, Mason Miller.

195
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:26,760
I think he's from Mount Lebanon.
Somewhere, I think he's from the

196
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,040
South Hills, right?
Yeah.

197
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,480
So he gets a save man, what a
what a prodigy he's become out

198
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,120
of nowhere.
You know, I mean, incredible.

199
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,760
So does that make it more
exciting?

200
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,840
I mean, Miller's not on the
Pirates, but you know, you, you,

201
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:55,840
you had who from Skin, jeez, who
was in the lineup for the US

202
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,880
from the, from the Pirates, you
had Skeens, you had.

203
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,000
Well, O'Neil Cruz.
Was on O'Neil Cruz.

204
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,720
O'Neil Cruz is on the Dominican
team.

205
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,280
The Dominican team, but anyway.
Tatis, wasn't he?

206
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,880
Yeah, they just the Dominicans
used O'Neill Cruz as a pinch

207
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:19,560
hitter.
He he was 3 for five in total in

208
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:22,400
the World Baseball Classic.
So he did a good job pinch

209
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,600
hitting.
He hit 600 as a pinch hitter.

210
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,840
Too bad we went and got a pinch
hitter right?

211
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,560
Right, right.
Wait, wait.

212
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,000
World Baseball Classic includes
Martians?

213
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,640
That's bad staff work.
You know, Mars is a city or a

214
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,040
small town north of Pittsburgh.
Pat off track calls Fairfell.

215
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,040
Yeah, we get it.
Mike Lawrence, Thanks for being

216
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,440
here.
Anyway, again, of course.

217
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,720
So does the World Baseball
Classic now, you know, does it

218
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,920
make it more exciting, you know,
for the Pirates season?

219
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,880
I mean, I'm, I'm excited to see
Paul Skeens pitch again.

220
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,920
I actually think I, I, I look at
his performance so far.

221
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,960
I I mean, he's not going to
pitch to the next game, but.

222
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,160
Yeah, he's done.
Yeah, but he's, he's dominated.

223
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,760
You know, it's like, it's like
this guy doesn't even need

224
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,880
spring training.
He, he's on another level.

225
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,160
He's like on a Greg Maddox level
of just being able to just, you

226
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,360
know, crank out innings and
always have a pretty high chance

227
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,760
of a high quality start.
You know, 7-8 times out of 10,

228
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,440
he's going to have a high
quality start.

229
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,520
Yeah.
And I think there was a funny

230
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,720
comment I heard today where they
said watching the World Baseball

231
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Classic is like getting used to
watching Paul Skins in another

232
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,040
uniform, you know?
That's true.

233
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,120
It's like, it's like, can you
honest to God?

234
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,040
I mean did.
You hear what skiing said.

235
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,760
No.
What do you say?

236
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,560
I did not, no.
Yeah, I read an article.

237
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:52,680
I don't, I don't know, I think
it was an AP article or

238
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:56,560
something like that there that
basically he said, wouldn't this

239
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:59,200
be, wouldn't this be great if we
could bring this to Pittsburgh?

240
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,200
Because I mean, there were only
36.

241
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,720
They're only like 36,000 people
in the stands for this thing.

242
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,920
So it's not like it's, you know,
it's a huge, huge crowd, but

243
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,680
everybody who's there is really
into it, right?

244
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:15,520
I think PNC holds 42,000 if, if
I got that right.

245
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,640
But that's the thing, like I, I,
the guy just says everything

246
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,520
right, You know, wouldn't this
is what I want to do?

247
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,440
I want to bring this atmosphere
to, to, to, to Pittsburgh.

248
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,160
You know, he called himself an
honorary yinzer because he was

249
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,240
talking about all the other
Pittsburghers there.

250
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:36,520
He felt like he was an honorary
yinzer and he really wants to

251
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,560
bring the bring that type of
baseball back to Pittsburgh and

252
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:44,400
I truly believe him.
You know, I, I think he wants to

253
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,840
pitch in those games, you know,
high pressure, you know, big

254
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,760
crowds, you know, just that
atmosphere.

255
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,240
It's completely different than
anything else he's ever pitched

256
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,480
in the major leagues except for
maybe some of his first starts.

257
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,640
And even those have kind of
waned now, you know, But I,

258
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,400
that's what I love about skeins
the most, is he says the right

259
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,720
thing.
Well, first he's a phenomenal

260
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,560
talent, and then he says the
right things and he says the

261
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:13,240
right things as if, you know, he
wants to stay in Pittsburgh,

262
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,280
which I love.
I just love about the guy.

263
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,240
I mean, honestly, he makes me
want to go out and buy a ticket

264
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,000
just to watch him.
There you go.

265
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,160
If if I could, if I could find a
way not to have that money go in

266
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,200
the Nutting's wallet, I would
absolutely buy it.

267
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:28,920
Maybe I should buy him off the
Skeens.

268
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,560
Well, give him a phone call.
Send him in an e-mail.

269
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,600
Maybe, maybe I'll have Mike
McCarthy my my neighbor.

270
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,400
Go, go ask him.
Yeah, your best friend.

271
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:46,000
So from now on, for from now
until Mike McCarthy is no longer

272
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,760
part of the Steelers
organization, which I imagine at

273
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,040
this point is probably going to
be the rest of our lives, but he

274
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,280
will always be referred to as
Steve's best friend, Coach

275
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,520
McCarthy.
OK.

276
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,640
Steve's best friend, Coach
McCarthy.

277
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:01,880
I.
Think it's more like Steve's

278
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,680
neighbor.
No, I like Steve's best friend.

279
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,320
They're.
Best.

280
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,280
I like neighbor because.
Neighbor is a neighbor.

281
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,840
You're all weird over there in
green.

282
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,240
Neighbor is the truth.
Yeah, it is the truth.

283
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,800
But you're you're.
All by the way.

284
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,680
By the way, seating capacity of
PNC Park is 37898.

285
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,000
OK, so it's almost exactly what
he was pitching.

286
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe 899 on a
bad day, I don't know.

287
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,120
You could get some standing room
seats only.

288
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,880
Yeah, just standing up behind
the whole, you know, the whole

289
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,800
whirly round thing.
The Rotunda.

290
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,160
Yeah, the Rotunda, yeah.
There you go so we have to add

291
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,240
mostly we have to add those in
too.

292
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,200
So you know, I I, I think the
pirate season is going to be

293
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:54,280
very interesting this year and
this is right now Paul Skeens is

294
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,840
the name in baseball.
I mean, it's, you know, he is,

295
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,400
he's the biggest name on this
squad.

296
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,880
I I wager to say he's bigger
than Andrew McCutchen getting,

297
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,600
you know, the the hoopla around
the Kutch when he got here was

298
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,320
nowhere near what Skeens was.
I mean, he developed a fan base

299
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,480
because he had an MVP year.
But, you know, it's really hard

300
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,760
for me to believe that they're
not or to think that they're not

301
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:26,000
going to hold on to this guy.
You know, I mean, if, if, if

302
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,800
he's saying the right things,
which is old school baseball.

303
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,880
So somebody's coached him really
well, not just how to play

304
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,400
baseball, but how to handle the
show.

305
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,000
Kind of like in Bull Durham, you
know, when you get to the show,

306
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,080
this is what you say.
So, you know, I'm just happy to

307
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,760
be here.
Hope I can help the club and God

308
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,200
willing, you know, whatever.
It's a script and he's good at

309
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,760
it.
And I'd love to see him stick

310
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,160
around it.
It makes me want to be excited

311
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,160
for this year because we have
some better hitters.

312
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,040
The Connor Griffin saga, you
know, I'm starting to think they

313
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,040
may leave him down to start the
year.

314
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,920
I think he's batting 212 right
now.

315
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,440
So it's kind of like, I don't
know.

316
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,480
I'd love to see him in a Pirates
uniform, though.

317
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,520
But they always play that game.
So I think this time next week

318
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,240
we'll have a much better feel
for a Pirate's preview show.

319
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,240
I'll have a couple more days to
prepare.

320
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,319
And it's 10 days till opening
day, right guys?

321
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:26,880
Yeah, that sounds right.
So we'll have an analysis of

322
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,280
that for next week's show, but
drop a comment, hit that

323
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,480
subscribe button.
We do drop the show on the

324
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,720
podcast, iHeartRadio app, Apple
podcast, Spotify or anywhere you

325
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,440

Would really appreciate your

326

All right, let's talk about a

328
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,480
Steeler's roster check.
You know what HJ you suggested

329
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,080
this topic.
So I, I, I want to start with

330
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,600
you.
What do you think their best

331
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,400
worst moves were?
Do you think there are any more

332
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,760
to come?
You know, and and remember this,

333
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,880
these are fan perspectives.
It's US 120 combined years or

334
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,760
more of watching sports.
I'd say that makes us what?

335
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,880
Armchair closer to 150.
Yeah, right.

336
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,600
OK.
Well, I, I was trying.

337
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,280
I didn't want to give away our
age that much.

338
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,920
So anyway, HJ, what?
What do you think?

339
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,240
So I'll, I'll go with what I
think they did right first.

340
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:30,160
I mean, there are two guys that
that really stand out for me,

341
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,320
but I can only pick 1, so I'm
only going to pick one.

342
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,560
I think the Rico Dowdle Dowdle
pick is my favorite so.

343
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,920
Far.
That's interesting.

344
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,560
I like that.
I like that.

345
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,880
And the only the reason I like
it is because Kenny Gainwell,

346
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,360
whether you like him or not, was
instrumental in what they did

347
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:49,120
last year 100% and they lost
him.

348
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:54,760
So and what they got, I think
instead is a faster back.

349
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,800
So I, I, I love, I love that.
I love that he's coming back.

350
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,160
You know, I've, I've been a
Caleb Johnson fan.

351
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,920
I've been wanting to see him
play and I only want to see him

352
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,680
play if he's going to be the
feature back.

353
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,080
If he's going to be a back of
three, then he's probably going

354
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,600
to be useless to us.
But we already know the Steelers

355
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,280
can't pick draft picks, so the
fact that they went out to get

356
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,320
him I'm.
I'm actually pretty thrilled

357
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,160
about.
I think that I think that is

358
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,880
probably their best signing. 2nd
place would be Jamel Dean for me

359
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,200
from Tampa Bay, just because it
cheers up the defense.

360
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,120
Although they did go out and get
a couple, they did go out and

361
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:38,240
get two other safeties, which is
important because I think the

362
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,600
guy they lost that I liked the
most was Miles Killebrew.

363
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,040
I I liked him a lot because I
think he he was a, he was a good

364
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,320
special teams guy.
And you need a guy to be able to

365
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,040
tackle on special teams and
especially now that the the

366
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,280
ball's in play and and he played
that defensive back, that

367
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,440
nickel, that safety position
whenever they had injury.

368
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,760
So I think they went out and got
those other two guys just to

369
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,960
have, you know, some more depth
there.

370
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,240
I think that I think that is I
think that's probably their

371
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,000
biggest loss.
I want to say say Amalu, but I

372
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,480
don't think they were bringing
him back.

373
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,400
And I think they have other guys
you can step up and play almost

374
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,680
as good as him, but they're
going to have to have somebody

375
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,600
step on a step up on that
defense offensive line.

376
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,920
Like Frazier maybe to be to be
the leader of that line now in

377
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,560
in his absence.
So that's the way I see the

378
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,200
Steelers free agency so far.
I think it's it's definitely a

379
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,880
solid a minus.
Well, wait.

380
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,680
A minute did did you give your
pick for the move that you

381
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,520
didn't like the?
The move I didn't like was was

382
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,520
not signing Miles Killebrew, I
think.

383
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,080
I think they.
Said that, he said.

384
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,760
That's a lead off.
Yeah, I know you.

385
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,560
Think I know you were dozing
there, Schwaber, but he said

386
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,160
that the lead off.
I, I, I just think that, I just

387
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:04,640
think that he, he brings a
special teams, you know,

388
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,320
leadership that's really
important.

389
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,840
I thought their special teams
were really good last year and

390
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,600
he was definitely a part of
that.

391
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,760
But I guess they'll probably
think that Skoronica can be the

392
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,280
guy that took to fill in that
spot.

393
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,720
Now.
I don't know.

394
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,520
We'll see what happens.
It's it's a it's a, it's a

395
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,880
minor.
It's a small little thing.

396
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,960
So I I think, like I said, I
think they had it.

397
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,680
They've so far have had a solid
offseason.

398
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,080
Let's see how bad they blow
their draft picks.

399
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:33,400
How about you, Schwaber?
Right?

400
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,120
Well, I, I would say the, the
two that I like the most.

401
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,480
I like the the trade for Michael
Pittman.

402
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:50,160
I I really think that you've now
added, you know, again, we don't

403
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:55,280
really refer to DK Metcalf as a
number one, but let's just kind

404
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,800
of call him like A1A1B kind of
thing.

405
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,000
And I sort of feel like Michael
Pittman is the same.

406
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,760
So it's like you kind of have
two 1A's on the team now that's

407
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,680
pretty solid as your first and
second receiver.

408
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,040
So I like that a lot.
I also like the signing of

409
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,280
Jaquan Brisker, the safety from
Penn State who played for the

410
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,280
Bears.
I really like him.

411
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,560
He's he's a playmaker.
And I think that he's just kind

412
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,640
of, I don't know, I think not
given really enough credit for,

413
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,320
you know, his his level play in
this league.

414
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,720
I think he's going to really
surprise some people and it's

415
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,880
going to be really solid as far
as the moves that I am not crazy

416
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,560
about.
I wasn't crazy about losing CA

417
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,560
3.
I've grown to love CA-3.

418
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,800
You just like the nickname.
No, no, no in, in all

419
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:55,240
seriousness, look, I, I think CA
3 is kind of like that great #3

420
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,320
#4 receiver.
And I just feel like you agree

421
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,480
with that.
You just sort of got rid of that

422
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,200
and you sort of created that now
sort of as a whole.

423
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:06,960
And then I also like the fact
that he could return punts for

424
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,760
you too.
So I didn't like that.

425
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,680
And to be honest, I'm gonna
actually, this is maybe going to

426
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,000
surprise you a little bit,
Steve, but I'm going to kind of

427
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,520
go the opposite on the Rico
Dowdle move.

428
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,520
Not that I don't think that Rico
Dowdle is a decent player.

429
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,800
I do think he's a decent player,
but I just don't know that it

430
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,160
was really a need.
You know, you you've got Jalen

431
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,640
Warren who at least right now is
your feature back, unless you

432
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,920
want Caleb Johnson to become
your feature back.

433
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,440
So I kind of feel like you
already have two.

434
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,800
You might as well just sort of
draft the running back like in

435
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,560
the fourth or fifth round and
kind of roll with that.

436
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,000
I don't I don't know that you
needed you know it.

437
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,600
I think you're right.
It's almost kind of like they

438
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,400
sort of like filled the Kenny
Gainville, Kenny Gainwell void,

439
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,680
but I don't know that they
really needed to.

440
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,120
So that that was just kind of my
thought.

441
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:08,560
I mean, not not that.
I mean, I'm sure I'll probably

442
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,120
be happy with him when he plays
well this year, but I just don't

443
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:16,960
know that it was necessary.
Yeah, I, I can, I can agree with

444
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:22,160
you on that just just because
it, it's exactly what you said.

445
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,840
If you feel like Caleb Johnson
is the guy, then you didn't need

446
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,920
to go get somebody.
You have two guys you can go get

447
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,520
any third running back to fill
in that third spot.

448
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,680
Right, right, right.
And they clearly are not.

449
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,600
Something's wrong with Caleb
Johnson.

450
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,400
As far as the CA-3, CA three
thing, the only reason I didn't

451
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,200
pick him, he's so injury prone.
And, and any, any wide receiver

452
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,360
that starts to get injury prone,
they always miss time.

453
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,640
They'll miss four or five games.
So, and I think that's what's

454
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,680
hindered his whole career.
Remember, he, he missed his

455
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,080
whole first season because of
that.

456
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,880
And and so that's, that's that's
the only reason I went, I went

457
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,360
that way.
Sorry, TDI jumped on you.

458
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,080
That's all right.
Well, while you were going down

459
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,320
that road, I was watching a
great fight between two players

460
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,560
on the on the Bruins and the
Devils.

461
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,640
Is that why?
My nephew just got get an assist

462
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,720
on a goal, so it's 21.
Penn Trafford.

463
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:22,760
There you go.
Is that?

464
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,320
Why?
Why did you lose your visual

465
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,800
there?
Me.

466
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,680
Yeah, I don't care.
Yeah, you were completely off

467
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,880
screen for a minute.
Well, I I have no idea.

468
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,360
I was just watching TI was just
watching this hockey game.

469
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:36,760
OK, back to the.
Yeah, pay attention to the

470
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,880
program you're on.
I.

471
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,760
Really do I love you guys.
I already grew up with this kind

472
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,000
of BS all.
Right, Chris, let's get your

473
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,400
thoughts.
Let's do that.

474
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,560
Two signings you liked, two
signings you either didn't like,

475
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,080
or non signings that you didn't
like.

476
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:59,840
Right, OK, so let's let's just
let me start by saying this this

477
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,640
is a new regime.
It's a yes, it's the obvious

478
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:08,240
it's a it's a new day in
Steelers nation because it's a

479
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,960
new head coach after all that
time.

480
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:20,000
So that being said, I overall, I
like the secondary help that

481
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:26,280
we've brought in.
I think at the very least, we're

482
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,240
getting younger.
And you remember the last few

483
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:36,000
years, who did we sign?
Patrick Peterson and Darius Slay

484
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,120
and then, you know, as a kicker,
we brought in a pass.

485
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,480
Big Place to Lay announced his
retirement today.

486
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,120
Right, thank you.
He should have.

487
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,360
Retired.
Yeah, so.

488
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,000
He leaves as a Steeler.
There you go.

489
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,400
He leaves as a Steeler World
champion but a stealer, so I I.

490
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,720
Another Hall of Fame stealer.
OK.

491
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,440
So, you know, at the, at the
very least for anybody who has

492
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,520
disagreed, because I've heard
some of that out there about

493
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:11,320
this, about signing Jamel Dean,
Jaquan Brisker and Sebastian

494
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,320
Joseph Day.
OK, He he's adding another big

495
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,840
body to that line.
I think it's a gamble on Samuel

496
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,720
Junior because of his previous
injury.

497
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,400
But you know, it's it's a one
year, $4 million deal.

498
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,680
Yeah.
One year, 4 million.

499
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,960
Savage is a safety.
He was a first round pick.

500
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:38,000
Mike McCarthy, 2019 Packers.
Which leads me to to say that I

501
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,800
don't have a favorite.
Well, if if I have to pick a

502
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,600
favor and I'm going to pick the
Jamel Dean, I think that's a

503
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,480
great addition to the other
side.

504
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,600
It's a guy who can keep up with
Joey Porter.

505
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,400
He's a couple years older than
Joey Porter, but he's had some

506
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,920
real success.
He's very highly graded.

507
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,880
And you're putting a guy who
wants to succeed, not a guy

508
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,480
who's getting ready to retire
and doesn't want to be bothered

509
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,800
by a guy who's a rookie.
I'm not saying they didn't coach

510
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,240
him up, but you know what I
mean?

511
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:08,960
So I like the Jamel Dean
signing, OK.

512
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,160
A lot of this other stuff like
Savage, the Packers, you know, I

513
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,720
do appreciate that they signed a
Bill Burr look alike.

514
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,640
They resigned him as the punter.
Cameron Johnston.

515
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,440
The Bill Burr look alike brings
a little comedy to the locker

516
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,280
room.
I think that's done on purpose.

517
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,920
Who cares how he punts?
He tells Funny.

518
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,480
Jokes.
I think they signed him for his

519
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,960
comedy.
Yeah, I I know that, I know

520
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:32,480
that.
But.

521
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,320
But here's the one that kind of
leaves me perplexed.

522
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,400
Perplexed.
And that is the Rico Dowdle

523
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,720
signing.
Now it's obvious because

524
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,760
McCarthy had him in Dallas.
That part is obvious.

525
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:52,000
This to me is a this to me is a
sign that first of all,

526
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Gainwell, he he signed somewhere
else for more money.

527
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,720
So great, but not a whole lot
more.

528
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:04,120
But what it tells me is that
Gainwell, they they didn't want

529
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,800
to lose Gainwell.
And McCarthy said, I know this

530
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,520
guy, he's a hard worker.
He knows my offense.

531
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Let's plug him in.
Which also tells me that Jalen

532
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,520
Warren and and and I'm going to
say this and people are going to

533
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,440
completely blast me for it, but
it tells me that Jalen Warren is

534
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,680
is I don't want to say on his
way out, but he's on the back

535
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:31,680
burner And that obviously Caleb
Johnson that he doesn't even he

536
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,560
doesn't even matter.
OK, he was drafted by a previous

537
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,040
regime.
Mike McCarthy probably would not

538
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,440
have drafted him.
I I doubt he's on the roster to

539
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,160
start the season.
They're going to make some other

540
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,560
moves.
That's my opinion.

541
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,720
So while I don't like the Rico
Dowdell signing because it

542
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,600
signifies that they know they
have an issue at running back,

543
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,480
I, I, I do understand why, why
it's done.

544
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,120
So that would be my least
favorite.

545
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,160
And then overall, the Michael
Pittman move I think was

546
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,920
brilliant.
However, however, Aaron Rodgers?

547
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,240
Oh boy.
You had to bring it up.

548
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,320
Well, I mean, it's, it's the
elephant in the room, you know,

549
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,560
it's the elephant in the room.
It it's like, you know, can we

550
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,200
settle this or not?
You know, Michael Pittman's not

551
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,840
going to be happy if somebody
else is thrown.

552
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,720
But of course they want they
want Aaron Rodgers because they

553
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,920
know they're they're at least
going to have a chance to catch

554
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,400
50 balls, 60 balls, 80 balls,
you know, anyway, so that that

555
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,080
those are my thoughts on that.
If you have any thoughts, leave

556
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,760
us a comment.
You guys care to redirect on any

557
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:46,640
of that?
No, I don't I, I think, I think

558
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,640
he had sound thoughts when it
comes to it.

559
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,760
How is that?
I mean, I, I say I, well, first

560
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,520
of all, I, I don't think Jalen
Warren is looked upon

561
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,480
unfavorably at all.
I think it's more telling that

562
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:04,640
they don't think much of Caleb
Johnson bringing in Rico

563
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,520
Dowdell.
And it doesn't mean that he

564
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:12,120
won't change their minds, but
that's the concern there.

565
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,880
Yeah.
I mean, look, the Aaron Rodgers

566
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,360
thing, I think everybody knows
it's like a nod, nod, wink, wink

567
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,520
behind the scenes that he's
going to be there.

568
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,800
However, the one thing about
Aaron Rodgers that is sort of

569
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:33,680
problematic is everyday that he
doesn't sign.

570
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,600
You never know if he's going to
change his mind and just decide

571
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,480
he wants to retire.
And so like, for example, I

572
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,720
think the draft is going to be
really interesting just from the

573
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,520
perspective of I don't think
he's going to be signed by the

574
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:57,360
time of the draft.
And when they're drafting, you

575
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,520
know, there's a lot of talk that
the Steelers really like Ty

576
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,960
Simpson from Alabama.
We have no idea if he'll be

577
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,960
available when, when the
Steelers are picking or how much

578
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,320
they'd like him, if maybe they
would go up and try to get him.

579
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,200
But let's just say they do end
up drafting Ty Simpson.

580
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,880
Now, is Rodgers coming back?
You know what I mean?

581
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,720
Like so.
Well, I, I, I think he, I think

582
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,640
if he's coming back, he's coming
back no matter what.

583
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,720
I don't know.
I don't know.

584
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,480
I mean, like if you're, if
you're Aaron Rodgers, right,

585
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,160
let's say, cuz look, he's got to
look at it like this.

586
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:41,000
He's he's at a point in his
health with his age that he's

587
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,920
going to miss time and he may
look at it like, all right,

588
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,440
well, OK, Ty Simpson's going to
be the quarterback of the

589
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,200
drafted in the first round.
He's obviously going to have his

590
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,840
time.
Well, what if Rogers comes out

591
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,680
and gets hurt like in the third
game of the season, but it's

592
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,720
only a one month injury and Ty
Simpson comes in and lights it

593
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,320
up on fire?
You know, he's not going to be

594
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,480
happy about his last season
having to sit on the bench

595
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,080
because Ty Simpson's really
good, right?

596
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,920
You know what I mean?
So, so he may say, I don't want

597
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,360
that kind of circus.
If they draft the quarterback in

598
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,440
the first round.
He might.

599
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,360
He might.
You never know.

600
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,000
I'm just saying.
Well, the other thing the

601
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,800
Steelers might do in that
situation is not even play Ty

602
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,880
Simpson.
They might just play Rudolph for

603
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,200
four games, you know, knowing,
knowing he's going to come back.

604
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,720
You know, you know.
Face.

605
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,880
It it it it it it's.
Impossible to know.

606
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:39,000
And listen, it really, really
pisses me off that we are still

607
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:45,880
stuck in this disgusting
quarterback situation that was

608
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,800
left by I'm sorry, by Mike
Tomlin.

609
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,240
I mean, this is this is
ridiculous.

610
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,120
I mean, think about the the the
the names that have gone through

611
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,840
that quarterback room.
Let me tell you something this

612
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,760
reminds me of, and I don't want
anybody out there to take this

613
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,480
anyway, other than exactly how
I'm saying it.

614
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:13,239
It reminds me of the first few
years after Joe Gibbs left the

615
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,320
Redskins.
It was a quarterback carousel

616
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:23,239
that continues to this day.
Everybody can say they have

617
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,199
Jayden Daniels as their
quarterback, but they don't yet.

618
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,560
They don't.
Look, RG3 lasted a season and

619
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,400
1/2 Jayden Daniels played about
a season and a half and he's

620
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,360
about to start his third season.
There's no way of knowing

621
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,600
whether or not he's going to be
full throttle, and that's what

622
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,080
I'm worried about right now.
I mean, we're talking Ben

623
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,679
retired, what, five years ago,
Six years ago?

624
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:52,000
Because he's up for Hall of
Fame, right?

625
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,120
Yeah, five years, right?
You got to be out five years,

626
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,560
so.
Got to be out five, right?

627
00:34:56,679 --> 00:35:00,320
You're talking 5 friggin years
of.

628
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,520
I'm not even going to say the
names because it's embarrassing,

629
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,560
but I'll say some of the
Redskins names.

630
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,680
Danny Werfel You know, I mean, I
guess that's all I have to say.

631
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:14,480
I'm.
I'm just, I'm just really

632
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,960
worried about this situation.
And I hope.

633
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:19,880
Yeah.
And, and this year we have to go

634
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,240
through it again.
That's the point.

635
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:24,560
We have a new head coach.
We have a new head coach who

636
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,040
has, admittedly, in his head
coaching career, stepped into

637
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,920
pretty good quarterbacking
situations, just like Mike

638
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,960
Tomlin did when he went to Green
Bay.

639
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,360
They had Farv and then Rogers.
When he went to Dallas, he had

640
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,440
Prescott.
Where else has he been?

641
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,400
A head coach?
Not in a situation like that.

642
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,440
Of course he wants Rogers back.
That's the easy play.

643
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,840
So let's hope he gets this next
quarterback right.

644
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,960
Let's hope he gets it right.
I I also think that they may

645
00:35:54,960 --> 00:36:00,640
have left something good on the
table by not having any interest

646
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,280
in Kyler Merry simply because
they're Bengal Rogers coming

647
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,200
back.
I don't, I don't know.

648
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,640
I don't think.
You're right about that, Mark.

649
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:14,080
I don't like Kyler Murray in
this in this offense ever,

650
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,840
because it's a West Coast
offense which is based on

651
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,720
timing.
And Kyler Murray is not a guy

652
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:25,640
that is in a timing offense.
He is a he is a playmaker.

653
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,760
So he improvises a lot.
Now in Minnesota, he's got

654
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,040
Jordan Addison and Justin
Jefferson.

655
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,080
They know how to improvise as
well.

656
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,080
I'm not, I, I, I don't know that
he's going to do well up there,

657
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:44,240
but I think, and he's playing
indoors for most for eight, at

658
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:48,120
least eight games, if not more
because of the Detroit games and

659
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,840
whatever.
I, I think that's a good move

660
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,280
for them.
I, I do not think he would have

661
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,880
done well in a stealer's
uniform.

662
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,680
Now, it's not to say he would
have been a little more

663
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,360
exciting.
You know, I mean that much I'll

664
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,960
give you definitely because I
don't want to watch.

665
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,800
I don't want to watch a skeleton
back there.

666
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,680
I'm sorry, Rogers.
Rogers is a skeleton, man.

667
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,400
I mean, look, man, look, man, if
you watch this, Aaron, I I'd

668
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,040
love to sit down with you and
have a beer.

669
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,920
You know, I don't drink.
But for you, I might make an

670
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,160
exception.
I don't know.

671
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,560
But still, I, I, I mean, he's a
skeleton back there.

672
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,440
We all know it.
So I, I just don't like, I don't

673
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,120
like going into the season like
that.

674
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,720
You know, to me, all of these
big signings, the Michael

675
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,720
Pittman and all that, it's kind
of like, where are we going to

676
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:35,040
be if we have to bring in a guy
that's going to lose 4 games

677
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,040
like Rudolph or whatever.
So there's my feelings.

678
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,880
Well, here's here's here's where
you're going a little bit wrong.

679
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,560
Before the draft.
Now the draft could change

680
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,640
things.
Yeah, of course it always can.

681
00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:50,000
You know, you can always say
that, you know, you got the

682
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,040
right players in the draft, but,
and hopefully this year they'll

683
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,960
actually play some of them.
But I I think where you're going

684
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,000
wrong is we felt that way about
Aaron Rodgers coming in last

685
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,640
year, right?
And we ended up winning the AFC

686
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,240
North with him.
So I mean, I get it.

687
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,000
I get it.
They're holding that.

688
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,960
They're being held hostage by
him.

689
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,840
And and I think where you're
going wrong with the Tomlin

690
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,120
thing, he actually did try.
He failed miserably, but he did

691
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:21,920
try and replace Ben.
Remember he got Rudolph 1st and

692
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,360
that was going to be Ben's bet.
That was going to be Ben's

693
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,760
replacement.
But then that didn't work out

694
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,200
because Ben was Boo Boo face
with with him in there and then

695
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,400
he played for three more years.
Not great.

696
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:33,920
OK.
And then?

697
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,200
Bring back the Boo Boo face.
I love that.

698
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,880
And then, and then they went out
to get Kenny Pickett.

699
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,000
Tomlin thought that Pickett was
going to be the guy.

700
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,000
And that.
Failed miserably, you know, so,

701
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:52,240
so, so all he was left with was
just just hoping that old guys

702
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:55,680
would come here and play and
that would that would resurrect

703
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,920
his his career.
Well, it didn't resurrect

704
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:00,080
Tomlin's career.
It's not going to resurrect

705
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,240
Aaron Rodgers career.
So they do have to get it right

706
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:07,600
in the next in the next two
quarterback picks.

707
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,840
Even if they go and get Ty
Simpson and he stinks this year.

708
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,920
And I'm not going to I'm not,
I'm not going to include the

709
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,480
Ohio State quarterback from last
year because he's a fifth round

710
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,880
pick.
If you want to be serious, if

711
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,880
you want to be serious about a
quarterback, you got to take him

712
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,080
in the first round.
OK.

713
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,240
That's that's the only place
where you get Super Bowl winning

714
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:34,240
quarterbacks 90% of the time.
So I am willing to wait another

715
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:38,000
five to seven years for a
quarterback because look, I

716
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:44,200
endured all of the 1980s and
most of them and into the 1990s

717
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,640
waiting for Ben Roethlisberger
to come along.

718
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,280
And when he did come along, the
team was ready to win.

719
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,800
So I, I don't know, I've just
been through this before.

720
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,320
So I guess I'm a little bit more
patient than you.

721
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,720
I feel that in that same time
frame, they'll they'll get a new

722
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:08,520
owner that art Art Art Rooney
the second will finally step

723
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,320
down and they'll be another
Rooney in there that hopefully

724
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,040
will know what he or she is
doing.

725
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,320
So we'll see.
We'll see what happens.

726
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,480
I'm I'm a big fan of I'm a big
fan of bringing in Mara Rooney

727
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,760
and then turning this into a
complete reality show.

728
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,360
And the great ideas just keep
coming.

729
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:36,720
I do actually have some inside
information.

730
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:44,080
Awesome.
That this Rooney is not long for

731
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:53,520
this job and that is why the
kind of unsealers like pic of

732
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:58,440
McCarthy probably really more a
short term kind of maybe like a

733
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:05,280
five year type answer was made.
And I believe that he is also

734
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:10,680
the one who was really enamored
with Ty Simpson.

735
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:18,600
And so the thinking that I've
been spoken to about is that by

736
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,520
bringing in McCarthy for one
last run of the title in his

737
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:28,160
last five years, leading the
program and potentially finding

738
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,840
the quarterback of the future,
that's him trying to create some

739
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:38,800
sort of legacy for himself
before him handing it over to

740
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:43,040
the younger Rooney.
I mean, are you friends with his

741
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,040
therapist?
Is that where this is coming

742
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,800
from?
Don't divulge your soul.

743
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,400
I know.
I, I and I'm, I'm not kidding

744
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:51,200
about this.
I know.

745
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,160
That's what.
I'm saying is you.

746
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,160
Have a I know somebody that
knows the younger Rudy.

747
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,240
OK, so in other words, what
you're saying is you've been

748
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:03,000
given permission to say this
without revealing who your

749
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,720
source is, like a true
journalist?

750
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,600
No, I have not been given
permission.

751
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,360
I am.
I am, but there's.

752
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,360
But there's no way you can draw
it back because I protect my

753
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,040
sources.
That's right.

754
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,040
Protect your sources, Mark.
Well played.

755
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,440
I'll give you one, I'll give you
1.

756
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,080
I have a source.
For real, this is no joke.

757
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:25,600
I have a source who has told me.
Moyo.

758
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,200
In Nope, no, I don't talk to
that guy.

759
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,520
Hopefully he's watching because
he knows I'm not talking about

760
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:39,000
him.
Anyway, I have a source who is

761
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:47,240
very well acquainted with a
close friend of the Tomlin's who

762
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:56,040
says that the Tomlin's left now
it was good timing, but left

763
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,080
basically because Missus Tomlin,
who I will not name, I will just

764
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,880
say Missus Tomlin was not fond
of Pittsburgh and found it to

765
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:13,560
be, let's just say, not a very
friendly town as far as you

766
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:14,640
know.
Exactly.

767
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:16,400
I don't want to, I don't want
to, I don't want to turn this

768
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,240
into a political show, but that
that that there was pressure

769
00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:24,640
being put on Mike Tomlin by his
family, most notably his wife,

770
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,800
that they were no longer happy
living here because of certain

771
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,960
aspects of society that they
didn't feel were very friendly.

772
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,600
I'm not indicting anybody by
saying this.

773
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,440
I'm not saying it's true or it's
not true.

774
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,160
But I have a source who says
that that was the real reason.

775
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,480
And then of course, you can
throw on top, well, look at the

776
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,880
playoff scenario and it kind of
made sense.

777
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,360
So.
Well, you know, you know they

778
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,280
did.
They did actually speak

779
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,360
recently.
Yes, at it, at the Irish thing.

780
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,240
Yeah, and, and I mean, of
course, what are they going to

781
00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:57,600
say?
But they're going to just say

782
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,400
really nice things.
Of course.

783
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,680
Said that they loved it here.
And it was an.

784
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,720
Honor to be here.
You know what?

785
00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:05,880
And I bet, I bet for a long time
they did.

786
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,520
I mean, just to kind of, I'm,
I'm not backtracking that

787
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,280
source.
I got it.

788
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,280
It's a it's a legitimate source
who gave me some information and

789
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,960
I did get permission to use this
information.

790
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,800
I actually got it a few weeks
back and I wanted to wait, but I

791
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,160
did get permission.
They do.

792
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,760
Verify.
So you went got a second source

793
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,040
to verify the story?
I got the source to verify that

794
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:28,680
the source was actually the
source.

795
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:33,200
So the point is they they listen
to this show and have been

796
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,320
encouraging others to listen to
the show so they'll know that

797
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,920
it's on the up and up.
I got permission to talk about

798
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,200
it.
Obviously I can't reveal my

799
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,680
source, but I believe it, you
know, I believe it.

800
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:46,560
So there's all kinds of things
that go on behind the scenes

801
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,160
that we're not aware of.
So, yeah, sure.

802
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:52,600
Does MM McCarthy want to try to
have a legacy before they they

803
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,760
pass along the torch to the
younger Rooney?

804
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:57,360
Maybe, you know, maybe that
could be true.

805
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,600
I could see that in a way.
Or maybe what he's trying to do

806
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,320
is he's trying to hit a home run
here.

807
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,560
And if he does, he'll get to
coach a couple more years.

808
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,760
You know, who knows, who knows?
This is awesome, Pat.

809
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,120
You are right on track.
Second source voices inclines.

810
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:17,400
That was pretty good.
I think that's the primary

811
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,480
source.
Congratulations,

812
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,320
congratulations, Pat on track
for one evening.

813
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,040
We love you.
We do.

814
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,960
We love you.
So hey guys, any anything else

815
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,320
about the Steelers that you guys
want to go down here?

816
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,840
You know, other than I don't
know.

817
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,320
Other than that, I think, you
know, in the weeks coming up,

818
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,080
we'll start breaking down the
draft and who they might pick,

819
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,960
but I think just maybe just a
tad early for that.

820
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,240
Yeah, yeah, and, and everybody's
breaking it down left and right

821
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:50,200
right now and the combine is
over.

822
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:55,200
But yeah, there's and, and this,
this part of the Steelers season

823
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,960
this year is going to be one of
the more exciting drafts, not

824
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,320
just because the draft is in
Pittsburgh, but but because we

825
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,440
we do have a lot of draft
capital and we do have a new

826
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,200
head coach with a new system.
And we did go out and address

827
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,320
some needs and free agency and
with some trades that are some I

828
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,920
I would call them solid NFL
players with an upside, you

829
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,600
know, not, not a lot of players
with a downside, except maybe

830
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,920
Dowdle.
But but so, yeah, it's going to

831
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,720
be exciting.
We'll be talking about it a lot

832
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:28,400
more right next to me over here.
This is a guy hockey Jesus.

833
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:33,680
Now hockey Jesus usually
preaches after every single damn

834
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,000
Penguins game, no matter what.
He brings it to you.

835
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,080
He sermonizes.
Is that a word?

836
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:40,800
Sermonizes.
Sermonizes.

837
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,320
Yeah, I love it.
OK, cool.

838
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:43,280
I don't.
Think.

839
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,000
It's a word although.
OK, look it up please.

840
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:47,840
I mean, no, I don't.
Think it is either but I love

841
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,160
it.
But we made it.

842
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:50,560
We made it a word.
I am hot.

843
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:53,640
He is hockey Jesus.
He sermonizes on the podcast and

844
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,280
on YouTube after every Pens
game.

845
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:59,040
Now look, he took a vacation.
So for you diehards, he deserved

846
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,720
it.
He went down to the Turks.

847
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,680
Sermonizes.
Sermonizes is a word.

848
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,600
Oh, thank you.
I'm brilliant.

849
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:13,000
I'm absolutely brilliant.
So, so it made my day.

850
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:18,200
So I'm going to let him talk.
But now you were gone for what,

851
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,320
three games?
Was it 3 games?

852
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,400
You were down there basking in
the sunlight.

853
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,880
Three games.
Yes, three games.

854
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,640
That's right.
So now we have what, 1617 games

855
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,880
left, right?
Let's see, they played 66 so you

856
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:38,560
can do the math. 2816 games. 16
games.

857
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,120
Thank you.
There you.

858
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,920
Go, I did the math right in
front of everybody up here.

859
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,240
Anyway, how you feeling about
coming back?

860
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:48,960
What what are your thoughts on
the play offs Crosby and Malkin?

861
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,200
Malkin is is back tonight.
Crosby should be back soon.

862
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,320
Chinikov, you know, great, great
move there.

863
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,360
Love that guy.
Ben Kindle.

864
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,800
I mean, can't say enough about
that kid.

865
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,320
I mean, can we get some of this
excitement back in these in

866
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,160
these last 16 games and kind of
push into the playoffs?

867
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,960
Can we do that?
Well, I don't think we ever lost

868
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:14,600
it, to be completely honest with
you, I.

869
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,880
Mean.
You know, that overtime win

870
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,520
versus Boston was huge.
And then, you know, they they

871
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,040
hit the road since then.
So they've played at Carolina,

872
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:29,080
at Las Vegas, at the Vegas
Knights and then at Utah, OK, at

873
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:33,400
Carolina, they came back from a
two goal deficit to steal a

874
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,000
point there.
Now they lost in a shootout,

875
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,960
right?
But they still got a goal from

876
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,800
Brian Russ with the goalie pool.
And it was, it was an incredible

877
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,280
point.
I mean, they they lost the game,

878
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,000
but they still got a point out
of it.

879
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:51,320
And I said if they get 3 points
on this road trip, I'd be happy.

880
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,760
So to me that was like, OK,
money in the bank.

881
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,520
When they went to Vegas, they
got their asses handed to him.

882
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,920
Actually, the game was still
pretty close.

883
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,160
They they lost 63, but it was
3/2 going into the third period.

884
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,360
They just got they just ran out
of energy in the in the third

885
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,480
period and ran out of magic
really.

886
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,760
But then they came out and
played hard at Utah and you

887
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,800
know, despite getting down two
goals in the first period, ended

888
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,960
up winning 55 to 4:00.
So I love the way they're

889
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,280
playing right now.
And The thing is, OK, so that

890
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:29,920
means without Gino, they are
1/2.

891
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,880
They're two and two and three.
They went two and three without

892
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,560
Gino and they still got five of
the 10 points.

893
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,720
That's pretty damn good If you
can get half the points that you

894
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:44,520
need to get without your two
superstars, Gino and Sid.

895
00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:47,120
That's that's absolutely
perfect.

896
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,200
They didn't really they haven't
really lost any ground after

897
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,760
they lost after they lost to
Buffalo, they were they were

898
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,360
projected to get 99 points on
the season.

899
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,160
And as of the win in Utah,
they're still projected to get

900
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,720
99 points on the season.
So they've held their ground and

901
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:07,120
that's what they need to do
because the likes of now you can

902
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,240
start the with with 15 games
left, you can start the

903
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:13,560
scoreboard watch.
OK, Philadelphia was coming on a

904
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,440
little strong.
They they fell back.

905
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,280
Columbus beat him I think the
other night.

906
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,320
So now Columbus is taking the
upper hand in the chase for

907
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,400
that, that third spot in the
metro.

908
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,160
And also the Islanders have been
playing pretty good too.

909
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,480
So they're tied with the
Penguins, but the Penguins have

910
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,680
a game on hand with them.
So they have to continue to keep

911
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,760
getting points whether they if
they lose, they got to get take

912
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,760
it to overtime.
If they, if they win, they got

913
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,280
to beat teams like, and they
don't play them very much, but

914
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,960
they got to beat teams like
Ottawa, New York Islanders,

915
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,040
Detroit.
They actually don't play

916
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,680
Columbus the remainder of the
year.

917
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:58,000
So that there's no, there's no
really, you know, 2 point swing

918
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,120
that Columbus can get from, from
us the rest of the year.

919
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,240
So that's good.
But yeah, I love the way they're

920
00:51:05,240 --> 00:51:06,800
playing.
And you mentioned Chinnikoff.

921
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,080
You're absolutely right.
He's been he's been the spark

922
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:14,840
that's really kind of made this
team more than more than, you

923
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,560
know, likely to make the
playoffs, kind of likely the

924
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,360
potentially, I'm not going to
say make a run, but at least

925
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,760
maybe win the first round with
Chinnikoff.

926
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,440
So it's been 29 games with
Chinnikoff.

927
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:31,240
They're 17 and 12 and they have
39 points in 29 games, which

928
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,800
that would equate to about 110
points on the season if they

929
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,360
played that out for a full
season.

930
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,320
That's president level play
right there.

931
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,840
That's that's top of the league
play when you're playing at that

932
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,560
level.
So, so even though you know that

933
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,760
does, you know, because you
know, I'm not using that third

934
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,880
column because it sounds like 17
and 12 sounds like a bad record.

935
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:57,400
It's actually a very good record
if you're, if you're five games

936
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:03,000
over by not counting the the,
you know, that point system that

937
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,480
they that we use, It's it's it's
an incredible run.

938
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,600
So yeah, he's been, he's been a
spark.

939
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,240
They get Gino back tonight.
I, I read something that said

940
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,880
Sid might come back.
I, I've been watching the, the

941
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,760
pens app.
They're they're not hinting that

942
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,320
he's coming back tonight.
So that's not going to happen.

943
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,320
So that means tonight you're
going to have Novak center in a

944
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,520
line with Malkin and Shinikoff.
You'll have Raquel Rust and

945
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,720
Mantha together.
Then you'll have Brazeau had

946
00:52:29,720 --> 00:52:31,800
been hurt too for a couple
games.

947
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,960
So Brazeau's back also, he'll be
on the line with Kendall and

948
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:40,320
Koven and actually kindle be
center in that line and then

949
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,200
solder Bloom the the guy they
picked up at the trade deadline.

950
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,280
He's a he is a big guy, 6 foot
eight.

951
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,760
He definitely looks huge out
there.

952
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,840
So he's going to be playing
because I guess Lizotte is

953
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,000
day-to-day, but nothing, no
major injury there.

954
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,440
But he's going to be taking the
night off tonight.

955
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:05,040
Maybe they sent him home to get
some R&R because, well, they're

956
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:11,120
still got to go to at Carolina
on Wednesday, so that'd be the

957
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,840
last game on the road trip.
But I, I love the way they're

958
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,040
playing.
Even though I'll tell you what,

959
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:21,400
being overseas, it's impossible
to get hockey live because it

960
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,320
just doesn't exist.
Even even I'm telling you the

961
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,560
ESPN app is terrible.
I get I have ESPN Plus, but

962
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:32,200
because you know my, my
hometown's Pittsburgh, even when

963
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:37,880
I'm freaking in, you know, the
Turks, I can't watch a Penguins

964
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,240
game on ESPN Plus because it's
my hometown team.

965
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,320
And the SNP app, forget about
it.

966
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,200
Don't even try and use it
outside of the Pittsburgh area

967
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:51,960
because it's absolute garbage.
And so I was actually following

968
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,440
the games, I think it was on
ESPN or maybe it was CBS Sports,

969
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,120
where they do the play by play.
It's actually quite, quite

970
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,120
interesting watching a game like
that because they tell you the

971
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:05,640
hits, they tell you, you know,
if there, if there's a turnover,

972
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,080
you can see when they shoot and,
and they miss like, and you kind

973
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,480
of have a, a written record of
it.

974
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,800
So you can go back to like the
last five plays and see what,

975
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,880
what, what it, what kind of
transpired to get you to either

976
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:20,840
the goal or, you know, to, to a
penalty or something like that.

977
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,800
It's pretty interesting way to
watch it.

978
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,680
I wouldn't want to do that all
the time, but as as a pinch for

979
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:31,360
three games, it wasn't too bad
and you know it was it was

980
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,720
wasn't bad at all.
Thank you, my brethren.

981
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,320
Thank you, my flock, for you
know, allowing me to take this

982
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:44,560
sabbatical and this time off and
I will be back in force starting

983
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:48,240
tonight.
Tonight's a 930 start, so you

984
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:51,320
may wait till tomorrow.
You may have to wait till

985
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,280
tomorrow until you get a Hockey
Jesus because I got to go back

986
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,280
to work for the first time in
five days.

987
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,520
And let me tell you, it's going
to be hard getting up at 3:30

988
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,800
after going to bed at 1:30 if I
stay up and watch the game.

989
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:08,680
So you may not get one for me
tonight, but you won't get one

990
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,440
for me.
HJ taking this retreat, in this

991
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,920
sabbatical, did you find
yourself closer to God?

992
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,680
I did not find myself getting
bitten by a donkey.

993
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,480
That's the important thing.
The important thing is I did not

994
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,600
get bitten by a donkey.
In fact, I didn't even see a

995
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,960
donkey.
So I must have been the I.

996
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,120
Tried to.
I tried to tell you so.

997
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:34,600
Did I feel closer to God?
Absolutely.

998
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:35,720
I was.
Going to say, how about an how

999
00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:36,680
about an answer?
Beautiful.

1000
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,880
Down there you can't you can't
not be down in the Turks Caicos

1001
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:46,280
area and not think what an
unbelievable creation this world

1002
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,200
is.
It's just fantastic.

1003
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:53,640
Mike's asking are the are the
Pens pretty much a lock for the

1004
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,200
playoffs?
Absolutely not.

1005
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,480
There's they're they're they got
Columbus, they could easily take

1006
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,800
over that spot.
Like I said, Philadelphia still

1007
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,080
kind of hanging around Ottawa
could still make a run for it

1008
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:10,560
too.
But Ottawa, fortunately for us,

1009
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:15,400
is in the other in the Atlantic,
so they can't take over the

1010
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,160
third spot.
It's looking very, very late

1011
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,400
likely that they'll be 5 teams
from the Atlantic at only three

1012
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,240
from the Metro making the
playoffs.

1013
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:28,680
So you're going to have to be in
the top 3 to be able to make the

1014
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,280
playoffs if you want to be.
If you're thinking for the

1015
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:36,240
Pittsburgh Penguins, it doesn't
look likely they'll get a wild

1016
00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:39,200
card spot.
It's either they'll probably

1017
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,760
right now they're kind of locked
in the playoff spot with new the

1018
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,400
New York Islanders, which is not
good for us because they're

1019
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,640
they're who we get snake bit by
them in the playoffs all the

1020
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:54,200
time.
So no, absolutely not a lot for

1021
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,480
the playoffs.
That's why you got to continue

1022
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,200
to watch and cheer for the home
team.

1023
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,320
It'll be a big shot in the arm
when Sid comes back because he's

1024
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,760
going to come back real healthy.
He's been skating for over a

1025
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:09,160
week now and he's going to come
back healthy and that's going to

1026
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:13,600
that's going to really help
Anytime you lose a player of a

1027
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:20,000
caliber of Gino, definitely of
Sidney Crosby and they they were

1028
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,840
playing without rust for a
little while there.

1029
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:26,280
It everybody just plays better
because they they upped their

1030
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,160
game and they have to play in
spots where they normally

1031
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,400
wouldn't have to.
So if they get into the playoffs

1032
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,360
and they lose somebody, they're
going to be able to fill in like

1033
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:36,440
that.
They're not going to have to

1034
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,680
figure it out.
And when you play A7 game

1035
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,720
series, there's no figuring it
out.

1036
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,520
You got to know what you're
doing and that's what happens

1037
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,520
when a team plays without their
captain for a while.

1038
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,360
They know that they can get
leadership.

1039
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,080
They can get that secondary
scoring from somewhere else.

1040
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:55,120
That's going to help them as
long as they can make the

1041
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,640
playoffs.
But it's going to be, it's going

1042
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,480
to be a dogfight.
But right now they're absolutely

1043
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,600
in a playoff spot.
Even if they all they really

1044
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,440
have to do is go 8:00 and 8:00,
they go 8 and 8 the rest of the

1045
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,200
way.
They're they're going to make

1046
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:12,960
the playoffs so they're at an
advantage and they can keep

1047
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,720
getting loser points and that
helps them.

1048
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,640
Last year, last three years,
that's what the other teams

1049
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,400
would do to them.
They would get they would get

1050
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,560
loser points and the Pens just
couldn't make up any ground,

1051
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,280
even though they were playing
well at the end of the season.

1052
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,480
And but they still got they
still got a tough schedule ahead

1053
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,800
of them, although that the the
away stretch that last the last

1054
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,400
five games.
Well, this game is the 4th of

1055
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,520
the five.
And then back to Carolina.

1056
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000
We'll see what happens.
We'll see what happens.

1057
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:45,040
I can tell HJ is just itching to
get back at this because I feel

1058
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,440
like he just told us the same
thing twice.

1059
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,280
I mean, all due respect HJ.
So you're just itching to get

1060
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,040
back at it.
Well, the one thing I do have to

1061
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:03,160
mention, we know that Gino got
A5 game suspension and we also

1062
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,920
know that Sidney Crosby has been
out since the the hockey the

1063
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,800
Olympics.
Did you know Rat Gogutis, our

1064
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:15,080
buddy that took out Sid,
happened to take out Austin

1065
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:16,520
Matthews?
Did you see that hit?

1066
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:26,160
Dirty, dirty AF.
He he need, he need Austin

1067
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:27,880
Matthews coming through the
neutral zone.

1068
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,760
Actually he was coming into the
offensive zone.

1069
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:34,280
Just basically shattered his
knee and you know what?

1070
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,600
He got five games.
He got A5 game suspension for

1071
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,440
taking out one of the best
players in the league with a

1072
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,520
dirty hit.
This is how ridiculous the NHL

1073
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:47,480
is when it comes to policing
what goes on on the ice.

1074
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,720
That guy should never play in
the fucking NHL ever again.

1075
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,560
He should be banned from the
NHL.

1076
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,840
He takes out Sidney Crosby now
he takes off Austin Matthews and

1077
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,840
what does he get?
The same freaking suspension is

1078
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,160
Geno Malkin, who, you know, hit
a guy with a stick in the head

1079
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:08,040
glancingly and he deserved it.
But that's absolutely

1080
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,320
ridiculous.
Shame on the NHL for that kind

1081
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,440
of suspension.
They should be ashamed of

1082
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:14,840
themselves.
Now I.

1083
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:18,760
Feel and I feel like we just
heard that twice yes thank you.

1084
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,640
That was Hockey Jesus, who
preaches on the podcast after

1085
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:26,040
every single Penguins game.
He sermonizes, which is a word.

1086
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:30,160
Look it up.
And we drop it on the podcast,

1087
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,680
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
podcast, Spotify.

1088
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:37,200
By the way, I don't know if you
caught this HJ, but Connor

1089
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:42,520
McDavid has called upon the NHL
to audit the suspension process

1090
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:44,560
because he thinks it's
ridiculous.

1091
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:48,120
Did you see that?
Well, that's.

1092
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,120
Good.
Finally a super No, I didn't

1093
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,040
hear that, but that's good to
hear because the superstars need

1094
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,720
to start need to start speaking
out because McDavid could be

1095
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,520
next.
He could get a headshot,

1096
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,400
somebody could get 5 games for
it and he could be out for the

1097
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,880
whole of the playoffs.
How would the NHL like that?

1098
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:08,040
You know, I think they probably
weren't too upset because now

1099
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,200
Toronto probably has a shot at
the Gavin McKenna.

1100
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,760
You know, now they're going to
they're going to tank.

1101
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,680
They're going to be in the
bottom 3 for sure.

1102
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:20,800
So so it's ridiculous, but I'm
glad to hear that McDavid

1103
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,840
starting to stay up for some of
the other superstars.

1104
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,520
It's about time.
All right, hockey Jesus.

1105
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:34,120
After every Penguins game at the
Sports Sports Live, what?

1106
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:38,200
We're watching our Couch report.
What does that mean?

1107
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,840
I'm going to You want to do a
Schwab or you want me to do it?

1108
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,680
It's up to you dude.
You, you'd do it.

1109
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,000
You know, I feel like you need
to grow a little.

1110
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,160
Bit little practice, all right.
I'd just love to see you grow in

1111
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:52,920
your development.
Thank you very much.

1112
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,840
I appreciate that.
I appreciate your support.

1113
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,880
And with that, what we're
watching, well, look, there's a

1114
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,960
lot of things out there that you
can waste your time on.

1115
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,480
We're just thankful that you do
waste your time to come here and

1116
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,400
and and watch us.
So we're going to give you some

1117
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,360
of that time back.
That's what we're going to do

1118
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,920
for you.
It's also the dead zone, you

1119
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,680
know, hockey playoffs around the
corner.

1120
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,160
We'll see what happens there.
Pirates opening days coming up,

1121
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:22,280
we'll see Steelers, you know, so
there's a lot of things that you

1122
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,240
that you can watch and and we're
going to help you figure out

1123
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,120
what you should watch.
We're going to we're going to

1124
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:28,720
let you know because we do that
for you.

1125
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,880
That's what we give back to you.
We will watch a season of a

1126
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,760
show.
We'll watch a movie, we'll watch

1127
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,800
a documentary.
We'll give it a thumbs up.

1128
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,760
We'll give it a thumbs down.
We'll make you a superstar while

1129
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,120
you're watching the superstars,
not count the dumb asses on the

1130
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,360
Oscars last night.
But anyway, we're going to do

1131
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,680
that for you now.
And actually, we're going to

1132
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,200
start with the Grand
Schwabeanie.

1133
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,600
This is interesting because I
have considered this.

1134
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,160
You've considered seeing this?
Yes, I've I've considered

1135
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,440
watching this yes or seeing this
exactly.

1136
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,600
By the way, I'm not the hockey
Jesus.

1137
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,000
I know you're not.
You're the Grand Schwabeanie.

1138
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,800
And there you are.
The Grand Schwabeanie went to

1139
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,280
see.
I didn't, you know, I, I forgot

1140
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:15,440
that I did not bring this to the
program, but I, I probably had

1141
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,280
seen this maybe like 6 weeks ago
or something.

1142
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:21,160
OK, send help with Rachel
McAdams.

1143
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:26,320
Right.
And the story here is Rachel

1144
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:36,560
McAdams is a bit of a, shall we
say, loser.

1145
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:41,000
Loser, I guess.
I was thinking lousy, but yeah.

1146
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,840
Nerdy, nerdy, nerdy.
Not she.

1147
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,080
Doesn't look like a loser right
there man.

1148
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,480
That's she's like sexy with
blood all over her.

1149
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,920
Which is.
She's she's a nerdy and not cool

1150
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:56,120
gal, right?
And you know, she had a pretty

1151
01:03:56,120 --> 01:04:01,360
big position at this major
company and the president of the

1152
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,360
company had promised her a big
promotion.

1153
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:09,840
He dies, then the kind of
Jackass son takes over the

1154
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:15,560
company and she loses the
promotion and he promotes some

1155
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,080
like idiot from his fraternity
who knows nothing.

1156
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,440
So she's angry with the boss.
But anyway, the boss knows that

1157
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,280
they still need her at this big
meeting that they're going to

1158
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,680
have, you know, somewhere like
in Taiwan or something like

1159
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:34,200
that.
And so they get into a plane

1160
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,280
crash and you have two
survivors.

1161
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:41,840
You have Rachel McAdams, and you
have the son who took over as

1162
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:46,120
boss.
And Rachel McAdams doesn't care

1163
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,600
for this fellow.
And Steve, you, you will

1164
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,280
actually find this particularly
fun, I think.

1165
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:59,040
Steve, is that apparently?
Survivor aspects, right?

1166
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:03,320
Yes, Survivor aspects the
character the Rachel Mcadamus

1167
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,600
plays.
She was a big fan of survivor

1168
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:10,800
and she sent in a survivor, you
know, tape to see if she could

1169
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,960
make the show and have the guys
on the plane watching her tape

1170
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,760
and they're all laughing at her.
OK, but the but the but the

1171
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,560
point is, is that you know, she
knows survivor skills, right?

1172
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:26,880
So she basically, this guy comes
completely dependent upon her.

1173
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:32,040
And I, I will tell you what, I'm
going to give it a 2 thumbs up,

1174
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:39,280
but I will say it won't shock me
if you don't love it.

1175
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:44,640
The, the, the, the strange part
of it, it, it is, it is

1176
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,360
interesting.
It's, it's, it's got some twists

1177
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:54,480
and turns that you might not see
common, but in the end you're

1178
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:58,200
basically talking about two
horrible people.

1179
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:03,440
So there's, there's really, you
know, it, it's hard to kind of

1180
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:07,040
really root for somebody, you
know, when you're about 3/4

1181
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:12,160
through the movie.
So because of that, now some

1182
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,640
people might actually like it
better because of that fact.

1183
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:20,920
But it, it, it's really, it's
interesting.

1184
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:22,440
It's different than you would
expect.

1185
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:24,840
So I'll give it a 2 thumbs up.
Go see it.

1186
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,640
I think you'll enjoy it.
Grand Schwabini.

1187
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,080
Send help.
It's a movie.

1188
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:35,200
Yes, it is hockey.
Jesus, you watch something.

1189
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,600
Looks like it's a comedy show.
It was a comedy show.

1190
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:42,200
Taylor Taylor Tomlinson.
Taylor Tomlinson, prodigal

1191
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:45,720
daughter.
It's an hour and about 9 minutes

1192
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,640
of her.
You know, comedy sketch, if you

1193
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:53,280
if you've seen her, it's it's
similar to what she does, but

1194
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:57,280
she's become so refined in her
the way she tells jokes, she's

1195
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,160
kind of self deprecating.
You know, she, she says how, you

1196
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,760
know, she just, she's just not a
good person and like, you know,

1197
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,600
she doesn't think herself as
like pretty or anything like

1198
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,000
that.
And she has a lot of, you know,

1199
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,440
she has a lot of family problems
and she just, she like talks

1200
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:18,800
about them wide open and, and
she bashes her, she bashes her

1201
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:22,400
parents, she bashes the, you
know, the Catholic Church.

1202
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,200
She just goes at it, but she
does it in a really funny way.

1203
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:30,880
Like she, she like it's like
she'll give a compliment and

1204
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,560
then she'll like give the
punchline to it, you know, then

1205
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:37,920
it'll be like not a compliment.
I I really enjoyed this.

1206
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,200
I was surprised because you
know, she she she had a late

1207
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,320
night show for a little while
that pretty much bombed.

1208
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:48,160
Nobody really was watching it.
And but her stand up I think is

1209
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,560
some of the funniest stuff I've
seen all of her stuff.

1210
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:54,480
This is a brand new one.
I guess she signed a probably.

1211
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,920
I think it's like she does.
She's doing two more exclusively

1212
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,920
for Netflix, so you can only see
this on Netflix.

1213
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:07,480
But to me, I think she's one of
the the funniest comedians out

1214
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:09,840
there.
And if you like comedy, no

1215
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,520
matter what kind of comedy is
it's she's not too vulgar.

1216
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,440
I don't think.
You know, she she gets in the

1217
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,240
detail.
I guess she, she recently came

1218
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,960
out as bisexual.
So that was kind of like a like

1219
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,680
like her coming out party as she
said.

1220
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,640
So she she had a little bit of
fun with that, you know, the

1221
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,439
differences between having sex
with men and women.

1222
01:08:31,319 --> 01:08:34,040
So that was, it was actually
quite, it was, it was quite

1223
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:35,399
funny.
I certainly.

1224
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,640
Don't want to hear an attractive
woman talk about that.

1225
01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:40,640
What?
Being bisexual.

1226
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:43,000
Yeah, I don't.
I don't want to watch a show

1227
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:44,640
about that.
Why would you even bring that

1228
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,080
up?
Because it's funny, the way she

1229
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,640
talks about it is absolutely
hilarious.

1230
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:51,399
You would enjoy it.
I promise.

1231
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:56,520
I'm giving A2 thumbs up and I
and I think you should watch it.

1232
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,359
I'm just going to, I'm going to
get that one part for you.

1233
01:08:59,359 --> 01:09:02,120
I'm going to send you just that
segment right behind the

1234
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:06,760
Napoleon Dynamite segment.
Please bullshit.

1235
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:12,120
So Taylor Tomlinson, prodigal
daughter, 2 thumbs up on Netflix

1236
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,080
only You can only see it on
Netflix.

1237
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:19,359
All right, awesome, awesome.
OK guys, I, I did a rewatch and

1238
01:09:19,359 --> 01:09:21,160
there's a reason I did a
rewatch.

1239
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:26,720
I got to give a shout out to a
buddy I work with, Kyle.

1240
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,760
He said to me one day we were,
we were standing there and he

1241
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:34,680
said, have you ever seen
Sicario?

1242
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:40,240
And I said, yeah, yeah, a while
ago, like it's like 10-12 years

1243
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,120
old.
He said yeah, well, listen,

1244
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:46,680
watch it again.
It's quad man.

1245
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:52,279
He said just watch it again and
I said OK, I'll watch it again.

1246
01:09:52,279 --> 01:09:55,440
So I watched it again.
I actually watched it last night

1247
01:09:55,440 --> 01:10:00,760
with my wife and I got to tell
you, it's it's really good.

1248
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:04,560
So, you know, millions of people
watch this movie.

1249
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,920
A lot of people love it.
So I'm going to encourage you to

1250
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,080
do the same thing.
If it's been more than a few

1251
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:14,120
years, go back and watch it.
I am now going to watch the

1252
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,960
sequel or sequels is I know
there was one.

1253
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:18,480
Didn't another one just come
out?

1254
01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:21,040
Yeah, there was, There was.
I know there was a second one

1255
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:25,200
that I saw, Yeah.
That I like so but but the

1256
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,960
acting Josh Brolin is one of my
favorite actors, Benicio Del

1257
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:34,200
Toro, Emily Blunt, the the the
what what's really interesting

1258
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:40,040
is it, it was made in I think
20/12/2013 sometime around

1259
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:44,000
there.
I I don't remember exactly, but

1260
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:49,000
it you know, and it deals with
obviously the drug war and, and

1261
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:55,240
the CIA. 2015 is when the movie
came out, the drug war, the CIA

1262
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:57,720
and kind of how they have to use
each other.

1263
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:02,840
And there's some very prescient
information or, or comments when

1264
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,880
Josh Brolin says things like we
already lost the drug war.

1265
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:09,640
This is how we have to fight it
now, which is getting down in

1266
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:15,280
the trenches and using a hit man
to kill a drug Lord because that

1267
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:21,000
hit man, wife and daughter were
killed by that drug Lord and it

1268
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,080
what?
He was a hit man for both sides,

1269
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:24,600
you know.
So now we have to get down in

1270
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,360
the dirt.
Hey, it's what we're doing every

1271
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,440
day.
So go back and watch that movie.

1272
01:11:28,440 --> 01:11:32,160
The acting is fantastic.
The message is clear.

1273
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,480
It's still happening today.
It's entertaining.

1274
01:11:34,480 --> 01:11:37,400
And let me tell you, man,
Benicio Del Toro is 1 hell of an

1275
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,600
actor.
I think he's the best actor I've

1276
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:46,080
seen in a long time who can say
so much by actually saying so

1277
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:51,360
little.
Kind of like kind of like me.

1278
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:58,640
Wow, this blew my mind.
Kind of like me, kind of like

1279
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:00,000
