An embarrassing loss for the Steelers, as they give up the most rushing yards in Acrisure Stadium. Mike Tomlin, BTW, has the top 3 of those under his belt. Fire him, please.

00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:07,880
This is the Sports Porch Black
and Gold with your hosts, the

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:14,480
technical director, the Grand
Schwabini and Hockey Jesus.

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,160
Come on Pittsburgh, let's show a
little.

4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,720
Steelers, Penguins and Pirates
love The sports Porch.

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:34,000
Black and Gold starts now.
Yeah, the sports.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,160
Sports, black and gold.
It starts now.

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,200
I I day before I introduce
everybody in the words of Jack

8
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,960
Nicholson in Batman, this team
needs anonymous.

9
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,760
Does that make sense?
It was a nice try, but it wasn't

10
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,120
very entertaining.
Yeah, I mean, they don't need an

11
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,880
enema, they just need an
offense.

12
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,120
Now I think it needs an enema.
I'm the TD that is the grand

13
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,480
Schwabini.
This is hockey.

14
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,560

Mr. Higgs on YouTube, thanks for

Chris Chotto on YouTube.
Thanks for being here Listen

41
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,280
guys, the reason I said that is
let's just talk about a a couple

42
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,920
things.
Josh Allen all time rushing

43
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:49,680
touchdown Racker you're.
Going you're going in and out

44
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,440
TD.
Rushing game Most rush against

45
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,360
the Steelers at Heinz Field or
Akershire Stadium.

46
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,960
You know, Tomlin, in his
illustrious now illustrious

47
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:13,400
career, is proud owner of three
of those, the top three.

48
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:18,160
OK, so comment people how how
this is a safe space.

49
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,720
You know, try to comment on the
topic that's relevant, whatever

50
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,720
we're talking about.
But look, you need to just

51
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,760
unload.
And I think there's going to be

52
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:32,680
a lot of unloading this week.
This administration must go

53
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,240
like, think about that.
And we can talk about the game

54
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,360
and we're going to talk about
the game.

55
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,040
But this is all I your fearless
technical director who's gaining

56
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,720
a little bit more respect from
the Grand Schwabini now that

57
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,360
he's had to TD some of his own
shows over in Philly.

58
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,320
You're saying he still
mentioned?

59
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,960
Grand Schwabini.
I know you guys hate it when we

60
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,560
mentioned Pittsburgh on the
Philly show.

61
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,200
You you're saying that you want
I.

62
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,240
Don't know you're.
Breaking up with director and

63
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,720
yeah, no, you're breaking up.
Seriously, It's not me, it's

64
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:21,279
you.
Yeah, no, I, I, I I don't know.

65
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,720
It's breaking right now.
That's what's happening.

66
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,800
The, the, the Internet is
breaking right now because of

67
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,800
all the angry Steelers fans out
there, man.

68
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,960
And you, you can, you can see
your comments.

69
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,640
So my, my point, the the entire
this entire game, that was the

70
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,520
first thought in my head that
just it it just took the entire

71
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,800
game away from me because all I
could think about was this

72
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,960
administration Tomlin on down
GM.

73
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,360
I don't look, I don't care about
Omar Khan.

74
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:58,680
Omar Khan, he hasn't generated
any sort of faith in from me in

75
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,360
him that he's some sort of boy
genius cap wizard guy.

76
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,640
They got the most expensive
defense in the NFL and it's one

77
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,760
of the worst.
All right.

78
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,400
And and as far as bringing Aaron
Rodgers back, look, we all

79
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,000
jumped a little bit on this
bandwagon in the end.

80
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,840
Why didn't we see this up front?
He is old, he is feeble.

81
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,960
He cannot play at a high level
anymore and he doesn't have the

82
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,600
weapons.
Tomlin's got to go.

83
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,040
He's got to go.
Would I fire him right now?

84
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,160
That wouldn't make a difference.
But at the end of the year, get

85
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,080
the hell out of here.
Look, go win a Super Bowl

86
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,280
somewhere else.
Good for you.

87
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,840
You're not going to do it here.
There's my end of game rant.

88
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,400
Drop your comment, drop your
thoughts.

89
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,160
Who wants to, you know what,
Gran Schwabini, I'm going to,

90
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,760
I'm going to go for, I'm going
to let you go first because I

91
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,520
know Hockey Jesus, I love when
it boils up to the top.

92
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,120
So we're going to we're going to
keep him up for a little while

93
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,760
longer, a little while longer
and then we'll get some.

94
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Go ahead.
Well, just with regard to this

95
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,680
game, I just find it
unbelievable that you could have

96
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:18,320
the bills 2 starting offensive
tackles out right and they still

97
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,240
set a record rushing in
Pittsburgh right right.

98
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,920
I mean, I don't, I don't even
know how that's even possible.

99
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,920
Unbelievable, you know, and, and
well, I'd have to look at the

100
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,200
I'd have, I'd have to look at
the stats.

101
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,960
I don't believe there was a sack
today by the Steelers, was

102
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,000
there?
No, I don't.

103
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,720
Think there was.
You know what?

104
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,080
I got him right here.
You got.

105
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,760
Keep going.
I'll.

106
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:43,840
I'll.
I'll fill you in.

107
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,920
So, you know, basically, and I
don't know, her big was around

108
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,760
the ball quite a bit, but TJ
Watt was maybe a smidge it.

109
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Yeah, no sacks.
No sacks.

110
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,000
With two.
Offense an interception.

111
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,880
Yeah, yeah, with two offensive
tackles out, they also couldn't

112
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:09,320
get a sack, you know, And the
bottom line is, look, I mean,

113
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,520
look, Aaron Rodgers has actually
played pretty well this year.

114
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,320
So I'm.
I'm not going to say I'm down on

115
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,440
Rodgers, but.
I disagree.

116
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,200
Now, well, no, I mean, here's
here's what I'm going to get at

117
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:29,960
is that Rogers got hurt.
Now the fact that he's what, 42?

118
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,800
I don't know, was he 40
something right?

119
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,640
You know, he's gonna get hurt if
if you're that age and unless

120
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,000
you're like Tom Brady and you,
you know, have an avocado diet

121
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,720
or something.
But, you know, I mean, he's

122
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,760
just, look, once he starts
getting hurt, it, it, you can

123
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,680
see it's sort of spiraling,
right?

124
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,560
You know, and, and so he's not
really the same quarterback now

125
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,320
as as to when he was healthy.
And, and, you know, the I think

126
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,680
the more disappointing thing
really is just that there's no

127
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,600
real succession plan at this
point at the quarterback

128
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,040
position.
But look, they just, they, they

129
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,280
really played a poor game.
I mean, you know, Buffalo has

130
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760
been losing games lately.
I mean, they had been playing

131
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,720
pretty poorly.
And let's be honest, I don't, I

132
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,800
don't think it's as good of a
Buffalo team as they've had in

133
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,000
the past.
I mean, they don't, they don't

134
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,320
really have anybody to throw the
ball to.

135
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,480
I mean, I, I would actually even
say the Steelers have better

136
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,080
receivers than than they have.
You know, I don't know, did, did

137
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,320
what?
Did did Friarmouth even play

138
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,240
today?
He was out there.

139
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,440
He he was out there.
He was out there.

140
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,920
Well, I certainly didn't, I
didn't notice and I don't

141
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:50,320
understand why I saw John, who
looked like Jonnu Smith ran the

142
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,160
wrong way on a potential
touchdown pass, which is just

143
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,720
ridiculous.
Look, they're just honestly,

144
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,200
they're just they're kind of a
mess.

145
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,440
They're kind of a mess.
And to be honest, it's, it's,

146
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,120
it's pretty amazing that they're
actually six and six right now

147
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,760
the, the way we've seen them
play the last couple weeks.

148
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,520
Yeah, well, I mean, they started
off, I don't want to say hot,

149
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:17,240
but they won a few games in the
beginning of the year.

150
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,280
Were they 3 and O?
Were they 3 and O at one point?

151
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,800
No, they were two and one.
I think they were.

152
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,240
Two and one they.
Were two and one.

153
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,000
They lost to Seattle at home.
Yeah, I'll let.

154
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,680
I'll let you spill it out there,
HJ.

155
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Yeah, the the, there's a lot of
comments coming in.

156
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,080
You can see them on the side
here.

157
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,720
We got everybody in from

I commend you guys.

You show up every week knowing
this team will lose.

170
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,760
Funniest thing ever.
Look, we provide entertainment,

171
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,760
you know, watch our Monday show.
You'll see some other funny

172
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,360
stuff.
I I mean, I don't know if it's

173
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,840
funny for real what we think it
is.

174
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,840
HJ, come on.
I mean, how can you not?

175
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,920
I mean, I know you agree with
the Tomlin.

176
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,360
It has to be gone.
And and I know that you're going

177
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,360
to say or you might have queued
up to say the Rooneys aren't

178
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,880
going to do this.
It's not the Steelers way.

179
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,960
But look, Noel was around for a
long time and they figured out a

180
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,520
way to ask him to leave.
Kind of, you know, I don't know

181
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,600
the whole story there.
He's got to go at the end of

182
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,280
this year.
He has got to go.

183
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,840
He's lost that fucking team.
So.

184
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,720
I don't know.
I don't know that he's lost the

185
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,800
team.
I, I think the team is just not,

186
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,040
I think the team's not very good
talent.

187
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,400
Maybe they've lost themselves.
Maybe they've lost themselves.

188
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,680
Yeah, it's all you.
It's all you.

189
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,160
Well, I think DJ Shopping
Sherlock has the the cure for

190
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,520
everything, just lose out that
would be.

191
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,240
Yeah, he's right.
That that would be the right

192
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,880
thing to do there DJ 100% agree
with that statement, but that's

193
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,280
not what they're going to do
they're going to play for 9:00

194
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,040
and 8:00 so we can preserve the
winning record.

195
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,400
OK everybody knows what's
coming.

196
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,040
This is not I'm I really want to
get upset, but I can't because

197
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,920
it's not a surprise they lost to
the bills OK the Bills are a

198
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,960
better team than them, even
though they're not the bills of

199
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,240
the past.
The Bills of the past could just

200
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,720
throw it over the top and score
in one play.

201
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,680
This Bills team is way different
than that they're a run first

202
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:03,400
team and they are they beat us
at our own game.

203
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,680
This is exactly the offense that
the Steelers want to be They

204
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:10,280
want to be just like that.
They want to slug it out.

205
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,120
They want to rush for 300 yards
every time they to get that

206
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,680
splash play for a touchdown.
And that's how the Steelers want

207
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:20,840
to win games.
And they just got it shoved

208
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,480
right in their face just like
that, so that now the Bills are

209
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,120
just taking it to us so badly
that Cams got to go up.

210
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Cam's got to go up to Josh
Allen, who's beating his ass and

211
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,720
trying mouth off to him.
I mean, I thought Cam Hayward

212
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,800
was a goddamn leader on this
team.

213
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,960
I guess I was wrong again.
So when it comes to the

214
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,720
Steelers, I'm not surprised what
happened this week.

215
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,600
Am I disappointed?
Yeah.

216
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,880
But you know what?
Going in the next week when we

217
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,600
play Baltimore, who do you
think's real and a little bit

218
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,520
worse?
Baltimore, who lost the

219
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,920
Cincinnati or Pittsburgh who got
lost, lost to to Buffalo, A-Team

220
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,800
that's probably definitely going
to be in the playoffs and still

221
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,480
has a chance at winning their
game.

222
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,960
And I've been, I've been telling
you guys all season long that

223
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,400
it's going to come down to these
Baltimore games.

224
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,640
If they win them both and they
beat Miami and they beat

225
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,360
Cleveland, guess what?
We just won the division.

226
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,160
So it hasn't changed.
This game has not changed

227
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,080
anything other than maybe you
know your perception of their

228
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,400
defense.
I know what this defense is.

229
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:35,320
This defense is absolute crap.
It's going to give up 20.

230
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,000
It's going to give up 3
touchdowns and maybe a field

231
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,640
goal.
And the only way they're going

232
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,480
to, the only way they're going
to get that is if if they give a

233
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,280
splash play near the end zone or
into the end zone and then score

234
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,120
2 touchdowns, that's what the
Steelers rely on.

235
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,760
That's what they have to go
with.

236
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,680
Now, this game they got, they
got manhandled.

237
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,880
So the run game really made the
time of possession impossible

238
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,800
for the Steelers offense to
overcome it.

239
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,560
And you could see it coming.
You could see it coming early in

240
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:09,080
the in the second quarter.
But by the time that fumble

241
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,480
recovery for a touchdown
happened, everybody knew that it

242
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,640
was it was completely over at
this point.

243
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,320
OK, this is how I feel when we
get to this point and Steve

244
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:30,760
starts to do the XS and the
yeah, that's how that's kind of,

245
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,760
that wasn't timed correctly, so
I apologize for that, but it's.

246
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,320
OK, you're trying.
It's it's kind of comedy in its

247
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:44,320
own you trying to do comedy.
Yeah, and the comments keep

248
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,400
coming in, guys.
You can see the comments on the

249
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,960
screen, you know, keep that
discussion going.

250
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,600
You know, share this show out
with your friends right now.

251
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,800
I invited some of mine to hop
on.

252
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,640
You know, I I get, I get the XS
and OS there.

253
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,720
Hockey Jesus, I do.
I get it.

254
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,880
And you're right.
And you have been right.

255
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,880
And we agreed with you that this
was going to come down to these

256
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,120
games against Baltimore for the
division, this that and

257
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,560
everything else.
The way that they are playing

258
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,640
right now.
It it it is still it's getting

259
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,760
worse.
And it it it there's there's

260
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,320
just no excuse for it.
So So what?

261
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,400
OK, So what?
Great.

262
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,360
What are you?
What are you hoping for?

263
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,360
Are I guess that's where we're
coming from here with you HJ

264
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,160
there.
There's what you think is going

265
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,640
to happen and and what you're
hoping for.

266
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,600
What are you hoping for?
I got a feeling.

267
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,840
I know.
So go, go.

268
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,120
Not it.
I already told you, if they beat

269
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,600
Baltimore twice and they beat
Cleveland and they beat Miami,

270
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,520
they win the division.
It's that simple.

271
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,640
That's it.
They win their last five games.

272
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,400
I will tell you, I will tell
you, I will tell you.

273
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,440
Miami has been playing better
lately.

274
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,960
Oh, I'm not saying they're going
to, he asked me what my, what my

275
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,920
hope was, What, what do I think
is going to happen?

276
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,760
I think they're going to win
what what are they now?

277
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,440
Six and six?
I think they're going to win

278
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,000
three and lose 2.
They're probably going to lose

279
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,760
the Baltimore this week and
they'll save face that they'll

280
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,360
they'll they'll end up being 8
and 8 going to the last

281
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,880
game-winning against Baltimore
won't mean anything because

282
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,400
they'll already have lost enough
AFC games and it won't matter.

283
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,360
So the Steelers will win and
they'll be 9 and 8.

284
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,000
That's what I think is going to
happen.

285
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,640
Happen, right?
And it's the same as last year.

286
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,200
It's the same as the year before
that.

287
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,680
It's the same as the year before
that.

288
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,760
Now, if you need to go on the
land of fiction about Tomlin not

289
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,080
coming back next week, I will
because I think it's easy.

290
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,640
But the way out of that is very
simple.

291
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,040
Art Rooney the third needs to
step.

292
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,600
Art Rooney the second needs to
step down.

293
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,200
He needs a succession plan to
bring somebody else to be the

294
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,359
bad guy that tell Tomlin he's
got to retire or what they need

295
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,400
to do.
What the new owner needs to do

296
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,240
is say to Tomlin, you no longer
have control over the offensive

297
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,040
and the defensive coordinator.
The general manager is now going

298
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,920
to pick those positions.
If you don't like it, there's

299
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,560
the fucking door you can leave.
That's the only way Tomlin's

300
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,560
going to get out of here, OK?
And that's it.

301
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,280
He's not going to he's not going
to get fired.

302
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,680
You can chant all you want.
And actually, I, I encourage you

303
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,440
to chant at the stadium because
doing that, at least Tomlin can

304
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,680
hear that.
And maybe he'll start thinking

305
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,240
that not that he needs to get
fired because he's not going to

306
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,240
get fired, but he needs to
retire.

307
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,960
That would be the equivalent of
a firing here in Pittsburgh.

308
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,240
And that's really what it comes
down to.

309
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,160
That's it.
Is that enough X's and O's for

310
00:17:54,160 --> 00:18:02,960
you there?
Really wasn't any X's and O's.

311
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:09,400
Well, I I guess when when you
say when you say, look, this is

312
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,120
I get OK, Grants Robbie, step in
here, step on me and talk.

313
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:17,080
If I, you know, if you agree or
disagree with what I'm saying,

314
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,920
what I'm hearing out of Steve's
mouth here.

315
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:25,680
Hockey Jesus, Greatest hockey
deity on the planet other than

316
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,840
Mary.
What I'm hearing out of hockey,

317
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:33,640
what I'm hearing out of Hockey
Jesus's mouth here is that what

318
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:40,000
he hopes happens is that we win
4 out of our last five games and

319
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,840
we win the division.
What end?

320
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,920
Why would we want to make that?
What I would think that you

321
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,080
would hope would happen is
something we've been talking

322
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,040
about for a while.
Lose the rest of these damn

323
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:59,760
games and get a high draft pick.
Lose them and lose them.

324
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:01,360
OK?
Even if you're going to keep

325
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:05,200
Tomlin, fine, fine, keep him,
OK?

326
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,400
Because we know he, look, he's
not going to give up a good dig.

327
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,560
I get it.
He's not walking away from this.

328
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,960
I mean, it looks like he wants
to right now.

329
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,360
And he's probably going to go
home and cry in his wife's lap

330
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:20,960
and be like, yeah, I I don't
know what I'm doing wrong.

331
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,720
I don't know what I'm doing
wrong.

332
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,600
I'm trying everything I can.
And we know what he's doing

333
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,920
wrong.
He's not.

334
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:32,240
He's not evolving into this day
and age of NFL, and he hasn't

335
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,840
for years.
Why wouldn't you want them to

336
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,720
lose the rest of the games?
Yes, Will and Holly.

337
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,760
Who's that?
That looks like Pat off Track.

338
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,000
Would you change your name to
Pat Off Track on YouTube for

339
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,200
God's sake instead of this Will
and Holly?

340
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,760
Will and Holly.
I don't know, you know, and if

341
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,800
it's a tribute to somebody, this
is YouTube, billions of people,

342
00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:00,160
time of possession, 41 to to 18
plus.

343
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,800
Who cares, man?
They clobbered them all, right?

344
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,320
They just clobbered HJ.
Wouldn't you want them to lose

345
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,560
out and get that high pick, you
know?

346
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,680
That's because that's how that's
how I started my rant, agreeing

347
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,680
with our our very wise audience
in pointing out that that's what

348
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,040
they need to do.
Because.

349
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,480
That is what they.
Need to do, but they're not

350
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,720
going just like they're not
going the fire time.

351
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,440
They're not going to do that
either.

352
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,440
They will absolutely beat at
least one or two.

353
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,280
My guess is they'll win 3, so
they'll be at the lovely nine

354
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,560
and eight, the place where we
love to live.

355
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,920
Yep, they even mentioned it on
the broadcast today how

356
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,000
fantastic it is.
Right.

357
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,640
Actually did.
Did you see?

358
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,840
I was watching some of the other
games and they're tied right now

359
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,480
with the Dallas Cowboys for most
consecutive winning seasons.

360
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,400
Did you know that?
Yeah, yeah.

361
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,600
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, the Cowboys under Landry.

362
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,440
Yeah, if they if they if they
win this season, then they have

363
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,920
the number one spot, probably
forever.

364
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,720
Yeah, probably.
Well, not necessarily.

365
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,720
Well, here's here's something I
put out on Twitter or on X and

366
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,960
guys our age don't know whether
you call Twitter, Twitter still

367
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,320
or X or Twitter X or.
I think everybody, I think

368
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,040
everybody just calls it X now.
You're just.

369
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,440
Yeah.
And then you tweet on.

370
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,040
You're having trouble letting
go.

371
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,120
I am you.
You tweet on X.

372
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,560
No, you X on X.
Yeah, I know.

373
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,680
I was going to say, shouldn't it
be axing on X?

374
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,880
So I X on X go to the sports,
sports one on X, click that

375
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:46,320
follow button as as Rudolph was
coming into the game, I asked

376
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:53,640
will Howard question mark and I
got 87% said hell yeah, why not?

377
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,360
That's where the Steelers fans
are.

378
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,080
That's where they are.
OK, Look, I respect Aaron

379
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,960
Rodgers for for wanting to play.
He's he's a different person

380
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,800
than the media really let him on
to be.

381
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,760
I mean, maybe not a different
person, but his mindset, his

382
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,800
mentality and the way he's
worked here in Pittsburgh, I

383
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:20,640
think his he he's done himself
justice, but he's old and he he

384
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,120
can't get it done because he
just can't.

385
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:30,000
And what I said since this
season began, we have no #2

386
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,720
receiver.
They proved it tonight.

387
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,920
And he gainwell the running back
#2 on the Steelers in

388
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,800
receptions.
I don't even know why we have

389
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,480
these other two tight ends other
than Darnell Washington.

390
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,840
And I'm not giving him props.
I'm just saying he's the guy

391
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,800
they throw to the most now.
You know, I mean, what in the

392
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,280
hell is this offense?
And somebody put a comment up

393
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,960
that said, you know, it's time
for Steelers fans.

394
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,440
I don't know if you can find
that comment, HJ or Schwaber.

395
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,200
It's time for Steelers fans to
admit that Arthur Smith is worse

396
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,040
than Matt Canada.
No, he's not worse, trust me.

397
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,920
But he's, he's just as
frustrating, you know what I

398
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,080
mean?
Like not not for he's just as

399
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,280
frustrating because his
offensive scheme is built around

400
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:26,920
weapons that he doesn't have.
And you know, Paul, Paul, who's

401
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,720
that?
Paul Annotti or whatever his

402
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,440
name is.
He just put up a a comment.

403
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,240
Why don't they ever go deep?
Well, it's because they can't.

404
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,360
DK Metcalf was never a 5050 ball
guy.

405
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,560
DK Metcalf was a catch and run
guy over the middle guy.

406
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:45,120
We're not doing that with him.
Other than that dumb slant route

407
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:50,080
that worked once for an 84 yard
touchdown and a couple times for

408
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,000
some big gains.
But other than that they jumped

409
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,080
that route.
Now they know he's there.

410
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,040
So he's bad.
I mean, I think we would all

411
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,960
admit that he's bad.
No, he's not bad at all.

412
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,720
What are you talking about?
I think he's horrible.

413
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,000
He's a what do you mean he's
horrible?

414
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,840
He's a very good receiver.
I mean think about what he is

415
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,040
not Metcalf.
Not Metcalf or Smith my.

416
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Apologies, I'm.
Saying I'm saying they were so

417
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,120
and we're going to go down this
road here and I want to hear

418
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:22,120
your comments.
I want to hear all of them.

419
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:25,320
I want to see them, OK?
And I want you to leave those

420
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,920
comments every time you rewatch
this show because I know you

421
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,680
will on YouTube at the Sports
Sports podcast all the time.

422
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,760
They are not using Metcalf,
right?

423
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,400
They they did not do their this,
this blows my mind.

424
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:46,480
They didn't do their research in
how he could fit into an offense

425
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,880
that Arthur Smith runs for real.
And and and they didn't use

426
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,320
George Pickens right either.
And he's catching balls.

427
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:58,320
I think I've heard a statistic
today he caught like two or

428
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,120
three, maybe 4.
Can't remember the exact number,

429
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:04,520
but it was single digits and low
balls over the middle all of

430
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,520
last year.
This year he's caught something

431
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:12,400
like it.
It it's like 28 and he's having

432
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,080
a great year.
They, they wouldn't know what to

433
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,720
do with the wide receiver if it
walked up and caught a touchdown

434
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,200
pass in front of them.
They, they, they just have no

435
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,960
idea what they're doing.
And that's, that's another

436
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,360
reason this team needs an Adam.
It, it, it and this shit's got

437
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:30,080
to go.
It's time to start over.

438
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,560
So, you know, I mean, what do
you, what do you guys think

439
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,920
about that?
How can, how can is there any

440
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:43,960
room for disagreement there?
I mean, I, I wouldn't, I, I'm

441
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,560
sorry people were like, should
we have got George Pickens?

442
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,480
Absolutely not.
He was a he was a cancer in the

443
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,440
locker room.
But now, you know, Metcalf was

444
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,800
frustrated today.
He had a, a, a personal foul.

445
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,840
He looked like he was upset.
I mean, no wonder, no wonder

446
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,600
they act this way.
Well, if you think about it.

447
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,000
DK Metcalf wants to win and he's
upset, right?

448
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,360
You know what I mean?
I can't blame him for that.

449
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,280
Well, he also wants to
participate in the win.

450
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,240
He wants to get.
I mean, you know, I think if you

451
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,640
got him 5 or 6 catches a game,
he doesn't have to blow it out

452
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,520
every game.
You know, 5 or 6 catches a game

453
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,920
for 70 yards and a score here
and there.

454
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,920
And I think he's, you know, I
think they're winning and I

455
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,600
think he's happy with that
production because he's more of

456
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,440
a selfless guy.
Pickens was just a complainer.

457
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,480
But now you know why.
I mean, I I'm telling you, it's

458
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,840
not.
He's only going to be here this

459
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,040
year.
I don't care what kind of

460
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,040
contract they sign him to.
If Arthur Smith and Tom would

461
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,840
come back, he's going to figure
out a way to get out That that

462
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,960
if I were him, I would Metcalf.
OK, waste these.

463
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,200
But these are prime years in his
career.

464
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,240
These these prima Donna
athletes.

465
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,480
They'll try anything.
Look at Miles Garrett.

466
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,040
He signed for the money, man,
he's not going anywhere.

467
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,360
Yeah, but the frustration on his
base is he could get that money

468
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:06,080
anywhere.
Look, things look, things can

469
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,560
change pretty quick in the NFLI
mean the the bottom line is they

470
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,800
you know, look, they got a you
know, look, I mean the hope for

471
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,880
a steel a Steelers fan.
And I know it's very hard to

472
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,760
root against your team.
I mean, I, I I find I can't I

473
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,280
can't even do that.
But the best thing that would

474
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,400
happen would be for them to lose
out or just win one more, get a

475
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:34,520
better draft pick and maybe
someone slides to them that

476
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,000
turns out to be a franchise
quarterback.

477
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
I mean, that's really what what
they need to have happen.

478
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:42,760
Honestly, that's really what
will change at all.

479
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,200
Yeah, and.
And I mean, no, I mean, I mean,

480
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,920
at the same time, I mean, look,
I I shouldn't say that will

481
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,920
change at all.
I mean, there needs just to be,

482
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,440
you know, a turnover of talent.
You know, we got to get rid of

483
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,400
some of the older guys with big
contracts and go with some

484
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,040
younger guys draft well, you
know, make good free agent

485
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,760
signings.
I mean, so there's a number of

486
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,960
different things that have to
happen.

487
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,680
But if you get the quarterback,
you know, the rest can follow

488
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:15,800
over the next 2-3 years.
You know, you know, you know

489
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,280
the, you know, the guy from Ohio
State, his, his last name is

490
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,560
saying I would just love for
them to get him because how, how

491
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,120
big would it be just to be like,
you know what I'm saying?

492
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,560
Every every every.
Time.

493
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,440
We every time we win, we could
be just saying, just saying,

494
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,920
yeah, I mean, see, there,
there's there.

495
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,560
Therein lies a quandary.
Again, I mean, I I clearly right

496
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,400
now at this point do not think
that Aaron Rodgers and this is

497
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,480

Thanks for being here

503
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,560
wherever the hell you watch this
shit every Monday night, 7:00 PM

504
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,240
Eastern.
So we'll be back tomorrow night.

505
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,720
We're going to talk more NFL,
but of course keeping it with a

506
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,880
black and gold hint.
But you know, I don't think

507
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,720
Rodgers is coming back.
I I don't care how the season

508
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,560
ends up.
I don't think he's coming back.

509
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,680
OK, You got to make that
assumption.

510
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,120
He's kind of one Weird,
probably.

511
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,880
Weird.
I mean, look, you still, you

512
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,920
still don't know, though.
Like, look, let's face it, if

513
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,600
Rodgers is healthy, he's going
to play every game he can

514
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,320
because Tomlin is only concerned
with making the playoffs and

515
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,160
then hopefully winning a playoff
game.

516
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,080
And then I think he'll think
he'll have everybody off his

517
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,520
back, you know, so that's his
goal right now.

518
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,160
So, you know, the bottom line is
if that does happen, it's not

519
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,600
it's not like it's not likely.
Let let's just say there's a

520
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,080
2025% chance of that happening.
You know, maybe they maybe they

521
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,560
sneak into the playoffs, maybe
they get the right match up

522
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,280
right and it's a home game
because they win the division.

523
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,240
So look, if that happens, I
wouldn't rule it out.

524
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,680
Now again, I think this is like
2025% chance, but that happens.

525
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,800
He'll be back, man.
I bet he will.

526
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,400
If that doesn't happen, which I
think is more likely, he won't

527
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,680
be.
I, I, I think he's at the end of

528
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,080
his career and he knows it.
It it's not he can still, I, I

529
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,400
love how they talk him up.
You know, yes, he can still

530
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,840
process a defense better than
any but anybody.

531
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,320
He was always good at doing
that.

532
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,680
He doesn't to me look like he
really does have the arm for it

533
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,120
anymore.
He sure as hell he's sneaky,

534
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,920
mobile in the pocket.
He he knows where the creases

535
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,520
are and he can slip through
them.

536
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,080
But ask him to do anything more
than that or if he's surprised

537
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,200
he's going down and he's hurt
and I don't.

538
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,480
I don't think so.
Where I was going with the QB

539
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,520
thing is, is the quandary they
have now.

540
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,680
First of all, they they did, I
will always stand by this.

541
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,920
They fucked Mason Rudolph over
from the day they drafted him.

542
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,600
Period.
No idea whether the guy would

543
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,080
end up ever being a great
quarterback in the NFL or even a

544
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,040
good quarterback in the NFL.
That's never going to happen.

545
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,040
Is he a decent backup?
Well, he was one year when he

546
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,600
won three straight games to take
him to a playoff game.

547
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,800
But since then, you know.
Not really, you know, average at

548
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,680
best.
He's not the future if you're if

549
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,400
you're looking for that pop off
that train.

550
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,960
Wouldn't surprise me if the
Steelers did something with that

551
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,720
though, or said something at the
end of the year, but not going

552
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,840
to happen.
They drafted Will Howard.

553
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,440
They drafted Will Howard when?
Sixth round, right, fifth round,

554
00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:01,480
sixth round, sixth round.
OK, all right, hop off the Tom

555
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,480
Brady comparisons.
OK, That's called lightning

556
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,560
striking, which, by the way, is
better than the chance of

557
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,520
winning the $740 million
Powerball that's coming up.

558
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,800
Did you guys buy your tickets?
Sure.

559
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,160
Did you buy your ticket?
Absolutely.

560
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,960
You guys give us a little.
Come on dude, you're going to

561
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,760
end up walking away with like
300.

562
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,480
Million.
Yeah, absolutely.

563
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,400
I'll give you guys some at least
a million, just just for

564
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:25,280
starters.
Sure.

565
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,000
Yes, Steve, we're fucking
millionaires.

566
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,320
We're millionaires.
I can't believe we can buy the

567
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,600
Steelers now.
We'll buy the buyers anyway.

568
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,000
So I, you know, Will Howard,
sixth round.

569
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,320
Tom Brady, lightning striking.
That's not going to happen.

570
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,360
Brock Purdy.
Somebody brought that up every

571
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,320
the other day.
No, it's just look.

572
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:48,960
Brock Purdy.
I know.

573
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,040
I know what they're like.
Will Howard, you know, Brock

574
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,640
Purdy, you know.
Yeah, I know.

575
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,160
I know.
There was a guy named Duck

576
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,200
Hodges who played in the NFL for
a little while, too.

577
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,160
You know, there's people that
get their chances.

578
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,840
They get their chances.
Will Howard's not going to be

579
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,360
the answer?
I don't think I, I, I, I, I

580
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,680
think the organization and
we're, this is post game, but I

581
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:12,160
think the organization is, is,
is looking to draft the

582
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,200
quarterback in April.
That's what they've been banking

583
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,080
on planning on it's APR move.
Look, the Steelers are a big

584
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,120
brand.
Remember, it's money, it's

585
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,240
dollars.
It's not wins, OK?

586
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,240
It's not wins.
There was, there was.

587
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,200
I did read an article.
There was a game yesterday, I

588
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,720
think it was South Carolina
versus somebody and apparently

589
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,240
like they there was like the
third time that they had been at

590
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,040
his game, the quarterback for
South Carolina.

591
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:40,960
I just can't remember his name
right now.

592
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,480
So yeah, I mean, they're looking
a.

593
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,960
Comment if you know his name.
Drop a comment if you know his.

594
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,880
Name they're looking hard at at
at people right now.

595
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:53,200
Yeah, I mean, this is this is
wins, wins, wins in the NFL do

596
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,320
not translate into
profitability.

597
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,800
That's not how it works anymore.
What translates into

598
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:07,000
profitability is press, press.
And you know who, oh, man, for

599
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,000
all of his faults, you know who
perfected that?

600
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,360
Daniel Snyder.
Not, not just, not just Jerry

601
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,400
Jones.
Daniel Snyder, Because you, you

602
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:19,960
for, for for many years.
But even before all the bullshit

603
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:24,360
at the end of his reign, for
many years, he was able to make

604
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,920
the worst moves in NFL football
history.

605
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,679
Albert Haynes, you know, Bruce
Smith at the end of his career,

606
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,560
you name it.
Steve Spurrier.

607
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,159
And somehow, at one point, the
Redskins were one of the most,

608
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:42,440
if not the most valuable
franchise in the NFL.

609
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,560
Why?
Because of press.

610
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,480
All right, so the Steelers have
an opportunity.

611
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,840
They have a draft coming up.
It's going to be bring a million

612
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,760
people down to that, the Golden
Triangle downtown, which they

613
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,480
are not going to be ready for.
We know they're not going to be

614
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,520
ready for.
God bless them for how hard

615
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,040
they're trying.
But it's just too many people

616
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,120
down there.
But man, is it going to be fun.

617
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,720
And they are going to draft the
quarterback because it's press

618
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,680
and it's money and it's
merchandising and winning has

619
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,800
fallen by the wayside here in
Pittsburgh.

620
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,280
It's fallen by the wayside
because we've allowed a coach 20

621
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,880
years to be mediocre.
He won with bet.

622
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,720
Look, if, if, if there was ever
proof now that he that he had

623
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,600
didn't win with Bill Tower's
team, don't dice it up for me.

624
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,160
Yeah, he had to coach it.
Yeah, he had to coach him.

625
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,880
Yeah.
He had all the players.

626
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,520
He had the scheme he had.
He had the coaching staff.

627
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,920
It was plug and play and yeah,
you went back with a similar

628
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,440
team and they lost and it's been
shit since then.

629
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:54,560
OK, Roethlisberger, Hall of
Famer, but shit since then.

630
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,920
So come on, come on.
When are we going to start

631
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,640
talking about this now?
You know, when are we going to

632
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,120
start?
Why are you shaking your head,

633
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:03,920
HJ?
What?

634
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:08,640
What what was I saying there?
That was, you know, just not on,

635
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,920
just not on on point.
I know I'm on point on this.

636
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,480
Well, first of all, the
quarterback's name is Lenora

637
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,760
Sellers.
He's the University of South

638
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,160
Carolina quarterback that Mark
was talking about.

639
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,120
What you were saying is, is
absolutely untrue.

640
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,640
The Steelers do win games.
They win more than they lose.

641
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,680
The problem is they win more
than they lose.

642
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,760
And that's it.
They're never they're, they're,

643
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,760
they're never, they're, they're
never, they're never in the

644
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,560
conversation of the elite teams.
And you know, we wanted to, we

645
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,560
wanted, we wanted to kick
Buffalo to the curb by beating

646
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:48,960
them this week.
And we couldn't.

647
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,120
You know why?
Because they're still an elite

648
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,480
team.
They've redefined their team.

649
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,240
They recognize that the quick
hit is not all that there is in

650
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,400
the NFL.
And they learn to run the ball

651
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,680
and they learn to play a little
bit of defense.

652
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,680
So the Bills can change who they
are.

653
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,920
The Steelers can't.
And that's why we get so

654
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,640
frustrated in this city when
when we talk about the Steelers,

655
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,280
because nobody wants to change
this team because everybody

656
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,400
thinks they're they're good
enough to almost make the

657
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,760
playoffs every year.
And that's all that really

658
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,560
matters.
So that's the problem.

659
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:28,000
That's the absolute problem.
And there's no way to change it.

660
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:36,040
There's no way to change it.
The final word, the final word,

661
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,520
if you're watching us, this is
the sports sports Black and Gold

662
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,520
edition.
We are on YouTube right now.

663
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,520
We're actually on Axe and on
Facebook.

664
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,240
We're picking up Facebook
followers.

665
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:46,320
That's that's interesting.
Those reels that we put out

666
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,440

hit that subscribe button.

667
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,400
If you're watching on YouTube

00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,080
you'll know when we're live live
every Monday night at 7:00 PM

669
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,120
Eastern for the full blown show.
This guy up here, hockey Jesus,

670
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:05,120
he's actually live after every
single Penguins game really live

671
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,160
even on the West Coast.
He does about a 1015 minute

672
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,800
review.
So if you're also a pens fan,

673
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,840
you're going to want to get on,
you're going to want to listen

674
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,320
to his analysis, even if it's
three in the morning, man.

675
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,840
And, and what dedication you got
tomorrow night we got, we got a

676
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,840
big rivalry tomorrow night
because we got this, this we

677
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,640
should have prepared for this.
Well, maybe next time it's the

678
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,400
Flyers in the Pens tomorrow
night.

679
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,680
You guys are going to be here at
the Monroeville studio and we

680
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,520
keep we should have I, should I
get a flyer like a big Flyers

681
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,640
chocolate chip cookie for you,
Schwaber?

682
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,960
Then I'll get like a Pens, those
little duck marshmallow things,

683
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,560
and we'll have a little hockey
party.

684
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,040
What the hell are you talking
about?

685
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,440
Where?
Are you going?

686
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,280
Yeah, now, now I'll agree with
you.

687
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,880
We should have prepared for
that.

688
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,240
Yeah.
Yeah, we would have said no.

689
00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:00,160
Drop the flyer cookie.
I say.

690
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,040
Exactly.
Exactly.

691
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,080
I I say let's get together
tomorrow and let's talk about

692
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,680

I don't know who this user is,
but Boo filthy.

698
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,720
Maybe they're talking about, you
know.

699
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:30,360
Talking about Philly, Yeah, you
brought them?

700
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:31,840
Up.
That's true.

701
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,200
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.

702
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,880
Phil Philadelphia.
Yeah.

703
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:42,600
So yeah, I I so much to digest
from this game.

704
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,280
Maybe we can break down the
statistics tomorrow in the

705
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,600
regular sports porch.
I did.

706
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:53,200
Want we'll also get to break
down the the Tomlinisms from

707
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,680
today and tomorrow.
That should.

708
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,160
Be Oh yeah, there will be a few.
There will be a few.

709
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:58,520
Yeah, yeah.
You know.

710
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,640
What we're doing is we're trying
to, we're trying to eat soup

711
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,160
with a fork.
You can't do that.

712
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,680
We need spoons.
He.

713
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,080
Was throwing.
Them out, he was, he was

714
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,640
throwing them out after after
halftime.

715
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,280
He was throwing them out after
halftime.

716
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,160
Did you see that?
I was like, I was like, what is

717
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,160
the rest of the world going to
catch on to this?

718
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,400
Like he's absolutely just
pulling words out of his ass.

719
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,800
I don't think he knows what he's
saying half the time, you know?

720
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:25,960
I think he.
I think he.

721
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,400
Oh, he does.
Oh, yeah, I'm with Mark.

722
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,280
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

723
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:31,720
No, you're right.
You're right.

724
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,720
This week it's about this week
it's this week it's about the

725
00:40:35,720 --> 00:40:38,080
collective you.
Know next week.

726
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,040
Next week it'll be something
else.

727
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,720
You know he does he practice it
100%.

728
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,600
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I, I, I did love that.

729
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,160
Darnell Washington, they had him
running down the seam.

730
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,920
He caught that ball and.
I thought.

731
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,240
Pulled some people over.
Yeah, that that that Tridavius

732
00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:00,920
White had no interest in
tackling him at all.

733
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,920
That was pretty funny.
No way.

734
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:04,640
That's what I'm, that's what I'm
saying.

735
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,800
And then I said throw the ball
to him every single play for the

736
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,320
rest.
Actually did did you hear?

737
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,720
Actually, did you hear what I
guess Jim Nance or Tony Romo

738
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:16,440
said?
They were like, he's a

739
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,160
difference maker on this team.
They said, well, yes, about

740
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,760
Mount Washington.
Well.

741
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,120
Could be, could be.
Well the the problem is is that

742
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,120
he also drops the ball.
Remember the remember the first

743
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,280
time he dropped it they were
like.

744
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,640
So where else should they put it
besides right in your chest?

745
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,240
That was Tony Romo.
Yeah, he said.

746
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,960
Let me, let me think.
Do you think putting it right

747
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,280
between the numbers in the
middle of their chest is where

748
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,920
it's supposed to go, Jim?
Yeah.

749
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,160
So, yeah, listen, have your
debate, have your quarterback

750
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:53,280
debate right now, have your
defense debate right now, have

751
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,320

Pretty much like everybody

765
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,640
nowadays.
So, you know, I look to say this

766
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:41,000
loss was disappointing.
I don't know.

767
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,480
I, I, I don't even know how to
get disappointed anymore.

768
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:48,000
It was the same old shit, the
same old shit.

769
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,920
Of course, Pat Off Track says I
behaved myself, thank you very

770
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,840
much.
Listen, here's the deal.

771
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:00,680
We're going to take a vote on
this right now if you do not

00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,320
change your YouTube name to Pat
Off Track.

773
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,320
Right.
How many of us here on the

774
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,080
sports porch the board of
directors will ban you from the

775
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:11,520
show?
Yes.

776
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,080
Yes.
That's 2 to one.

777
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,160
Come on you in or out?
Hockey Jesus.

778
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:24,240
I'm out, I'm out.
OK, well two to 1/2 to 1/2 to 1.

779
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,440
One more comment.
Rogers is garbage all game.

780
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,280
People defend him.
Rudolph doesn't get raps.

781
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,640
He was part of the game plan.
But instantly he sucks.

782
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,480
No, not instantly he sucks.
He's just not the answer.

783
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,480
He is not the answer.
We're not winning the Super Bowl

784
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,760
this year.
We may squeak into the playoffs.

785
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,760
Good God I would love for us to
lose out and have a reset.

786
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,240
And I can't wait to get on
social media and see what

787
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:55,680
everybody else is saying.
You guys got anything else here

788
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,000
before we wrap this up?
And thank everybody for being

789
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:03,040
here.
I say bring on the rap, I think.

790
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,760
That is no, we do got a Ravens
game coming up.

791
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,240
That's, you know that those
could all you never know.

792
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:14,480
Look, football is football, you
know, just like the movie, any

793
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,640
given Sunday next week could be
a fireworks show.

794
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,680
You never know.
You never know.

795
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,680
I would love to see that because
it would be entertaining.

796
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,920
I I I was amazed that I was
almost more entertained by the

797
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:31,320
damn Texans Colts game today
than I was the Steelers Bills.

798
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,360
Game Why were you not watching
Panthers at against the Rams?

799
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,000
That was the great game.
That was.

800
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,120
Well, it was the good game.
I did not think it was going to

801
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:47,000
be the good game.
I really wanted to see if the

802
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,600
Colts and the Texans, given
their the number one defense

803
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,760
ranking for the Texans and how
good the Colts have been on

804
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,760
offense this year, even with
Danny Dimes kind of fading back

805
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,560
into what he's used to playing.
I wanted to see if that match

806
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:06,120
up, if there was any validity to
could either one of these teams

807
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,480
make a run in the playoffs.
And I got my answer today.

808
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,800
The answer is no absolutely.
It's just it's just no.

809
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,680
Indianapolis may squeak into the
playoffs.

810
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,960
It'll take a miracle, I think,
for the Texans to get in.

811
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,040
Well, not a miracle yet, but
it's going to be tough.

812
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:25,400
So we'll see.
So that's why I was watching it.

813
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,880
I wanted to be educated, which
is what we like here.

814
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:29,440
We like here, right?
OK.

815
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,080
We can't argue with that.
There you go.

816
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:37,600
I love you very, very much.
Thank you.

817
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,240
All right, guys, listen, we're
going to wrap up the post game

818
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:47,080
show as always.
As always, as always, I want to

819
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,040
encourage you.
Right on you.

820
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,160
You'll know when we're live.
After every Steelers game, after

821
00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:00,600
every Pens game, and every
Monday night at 7 PMI.
