This is this is going to be a

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,960
hell of a show.
Oh, and before I forget, we're

27
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:34,000
going to be doing a post game
show too.

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,240
Woo.
Yeah.

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,120
We're all you late nighters.
It's a.

30
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,040
Double header here on the post.
We're all you late nighters.

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,120
It's a marathon.
I'm going to be cutting up reels

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,040
and shorts until 2:00 AM, which
I did last.

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,440
Good for you, so you should.
Thanks for being here.

34
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,640
Drop your comments.
What are you thinking about?

35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,840
We're going to talk almost
exclusively Steelers as we ride

36
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,840
into this playoff game against
the Texans.

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,320
And we'll do some porch picks
because there were some playoff

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,080
games earlier and.
We'll have to double pick this

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,880
game.
Yeah, that's right.

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,240
Well, no, we don't have to
double pick it because I have

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,520
the picks.
Well, you don't know if the

42
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Steelers are going to be playing
the Patriots or the.

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Texans are double picking that
game.

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,800
Yes, the Patriots, you're you're
absolutely right.

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,120
So.
Unless you're Nostradamus.

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,280
The Monday night preview.
Steelers 10 and seven versus the

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Texans 12 and five.
I want to know what you think.

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,360
Can the defense stop CJ Stroud?
Is that possible?

49
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,720
And the only reason I bring that
up is because we know what the

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,560
defense has done in previous
playoff games.

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,320
By the way, is warming up with a
basketball boy if he doesn't

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,960
realize this is a football game,
I.

53
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,560
Like, I like what he's doing
there.

54
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:54,440
He's warming up with the
basketball.

55
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,040
I like it.
Yeah, yeah, maybe he's he's,

56
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,600
he's going to hit those 3
pointers.

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,280
He's going to be shooting from
three-point land.

58
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,920
No listen.
That'll get you 15 yards.

59
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,200
What are What are you?
What say you?

60
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,920
It is, and I guess this leads to
a maybe a a bigger question

61
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,440
about the Texans offense in
general, because, you know, you

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,840
compare these teams offense to
offense, defense to defense, and

63
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,160
a lot of people are out there
saying they're very, very

64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,680
similar.
I, I, I don't, I don't know if

65
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,160
they're very, very similar, but
I know that it productively

66
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,480
they're kind of middle of the
pack, you know, so but, but Nico

67
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,200
Collins, he burns the Steelers.
Yep.

68
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,920
He can't, does he?
Yeah.

69
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,680
What?
In past games, yes.

70
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,800
He has, does he?
He has burned the Steelers I.

71
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,280
Think his rookie year he is
reached.

72
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,240
But yeah, well, and.
PJ was that was his rookie year.

73
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,120
Yeah, but it was before he
became.

74
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,480
Before he became good, yeah.
So really, he's not going up

75
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,960
against anybody he played
against before in their current

76
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:05,120
state of Playerness player
Playerness, yes, your current

77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,240
state as a professional player
at the moment, right?

78
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Yeah, he was just a rookie at
that point.

79
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,240
And, you know, honestly, they
weren't, they weren't counting

80
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,600
him the shutdown corners, you
know, he wasn't a shutdown

81
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,360
corner.
They were playing more, you

82
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,839
know, zone defense at that
point.

83
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,120
So I, I don't know, man, I, I,
I'll be completely transparent

84
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,840
here.
I am 100% worried about Houston

85
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:34,440
just coming out and firing the
ball and just just totally

86
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,520
taking it to us.
And I think that could be a

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,640
recipe for absolute disaster.
That's to me, that's the worst

88
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,560
thing that can happen is Houston
doesn't come out and you know,

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,520
they're, they're basically are
conservative and they just run

90
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,960
the ball.
They just and they, you know,

91
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,600
they get the, they get the first
downs when they need to get the

92
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,400
first downs.
They're not chucking it deep.

93
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,040
They're just, you know, doing
the conservative thing and

94
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,480
kicking their field goals.
I'm not worried about that.

95
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,160
I'm worried about play action.
They can't get to Stroud and

96
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,960
Nico Collins is wide open 60
yards down the field, right?

97
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,920
That's the thing that's that's
scaring the hell out of me right

98
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,400
now, and it's the reason I got
butterflies flying all over this

99
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,640
big belly of mine.
You still have nightmares from

100
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,200
the fourth quarter from last
week.

101
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,320
I do I and that's been, that's
been the problem with the

102
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,240
Steelers all year that, you
know, if they can get to the

103
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,880
quarterback, they're fine.
But if they don't get to the

104
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,840
quarterback, there are two
things that could happen.

105
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,760
They get open that wide, good
wide receivers get open deep and

106
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,080
OK, wide wide receivers, in this
case Dalton Schultz can get open

107
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,920
short and they can just hit him
for that 10 yard or every time.

108
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,760
Boom, right over the linebacker,
boom, 10 yards.

109
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,800
Boom right over linebacker, 10
yards.

110
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,080
OK, play action.
Oh, look, Nico Collins is wide

111
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,240
open in the middle of the end
zone touchdown.

112
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,160
That's what that's what's
scaring me.

113
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,240
That's honestly that's that's my
biggest fear for.

114
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,720
Tonight, and that is scary.
One thing I'm going to give you

115
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,800
some instant analysis.
I have just witnessed the pre

116
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,920
game workout routine of CJ
Stroud and I think that that

117
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,560
bodes well for our Steelers.
CJ Stroud likes to push a

118
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,200
basketball against the goal post
he was, and then he also likes

119
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,120
to just take bands and, you
know, sort of do.

120
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,600
Flies.
He was like on like this.

121
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,640
Pull them towards himself as if
he's rowing a boat.

122
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,760
I don't know what.
That I haven't seen any throwing

123
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,040
of the football.
I mean, I'm I'm liking our

124
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,240
chances here.
Yeah, I don't know what that

125
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,520
that routine is about.
That's a little bizarre.

126
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,440
It was bizarre.
Well, he's he's, he's obviously

127
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,080
warming up for a basketball
game.

128
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,920
Rough he he came to the right
place.

129
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,760
And he is Owen too in Rd.
playoff games.

130
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,320
Yes, yes, Thank you, Pat, off
track which?

131
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,280
Basically means.
That out.

132
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,600
You know he's never won on the
road in the play offs.

133
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,920
He's not beat Kansas City and
he's not beat Baltimore on the

134
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:00,600
road.
Nope.

135
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,760
OK, subscribe on YouTube at the
Sports Sports Podcast if you

136
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,720
haven't done that already.
How do you feel about CJ Shroud

137
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,880
there TD?
I, I, I, I think I feel the same

138
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,400
way everybody else does.
I I think it's obvious.

139
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,440
He's good, not great.
Well, they're they're they're

140
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,640
line has had some questions.
In the beginning of the year he

141
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,200
was running the ball more and I
think in the last three games or

142
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,840
four games or something, he's
only run for like 8, scrambled

143
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,520
for 18 yards.
Yeah, yeah.

144
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,520
He's not a runner.
Right, he.

145
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,080
Can, but he doesn't.
But that's not what he wants to.

146
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Do right.
Yeah.

147
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,960
I mean, I, I, I think he's, CJ
Stroud has the potential to be

148
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,360
the CJ Stroud he was his rookie
year.

149
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,480
It's there, there's something
that the team is missing.

150
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,480
And I think the issue with CJ
Stroud is that you can't really

151
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,200
pinpoint it.
He seems like he has all the

152
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,880
tools.
He's, he's got a very calm

153
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,560
demeanor.
That's true.

154
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,280
He's good in the huddle.
He can manage the offense.

155
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,080
He he, he, he, he, he's pretty
accurate and throws a really

156
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,960
good deep ball.
You know, it seems like he's got

157
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,840
the tools.
So what, what?

158
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,000
What is missing on that team
besides the obvious, which

159
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,200
everybody says is Joe Mixon
didn't play, but somehow yet

160
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,200
they they found a way to win 11
games and he didn't play in

161
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,320
three of them.
So.

162
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,800
A nine in a row.
Right.

163
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,680
And, and I, I, so I guess he can
win this game.

164
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,320
You know what?
I I think what it is honestly,

165
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,360
he doesn't have the IT factor.
That and and that's what I'm

166
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,679
saying is I I'm cutting the
jury's kind of out for me on the

167
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,240
IT factor with him.
I get it.

168
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,600
I get it.
You're in agreement.

169
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:46,440
I don't really see it, but but I
did see it his rookie year, that

170
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,920
year, everybody, including us,
thought this is the IT factor.

171
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:58,040
And then maybe maybe the reason
is that we drafted him in our

172
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,880
fantasy league is sophomore
year.

173
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,440
It's the curse of Wham.
Well, the whammy he got whammy.

174
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:04,680
Gone.
Yeah.

175
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,800
I mean, I can't say that we did
him any justice.

176
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:12,800
I think being part of our
program sort of set him back a

177
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,640
year.
He's recovered this year a

178
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,480
little bit.
No, but in all seriousness,

179
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,360
look, he just doesn't scare you,
right?

180
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:26,040
He doesn't scare.
He's got such a nice little baby

181
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,120
face, too.
Yeah.

182
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,600
Yeah, he's got a Charlie batch.
Look like he'd be nice to have a

183
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,720
beer.
Right, let's have a beer.

184
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,320
You know, let's.
But you don't look in his eyes

185
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,440
and say that guy's a killer on
the field.

186
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,120
No, you know, you, you want to,
you might even just sit down

187
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,920
with him on a weekend and put on
HGTV and, you know, watch a

188
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,800
couple guys destroy a home that
they're going to redo.

189
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,520
Schwabini is a fitness expert.
Obviously, says Pat Hoff.

190
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,960
Track let's get some let me get
some comments in here and, and,

191
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,920
and maybe switch gears Chris
Chotta back in the house on

192
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,360
YouTube.
Thanks man for being here.

193
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120
Really appreciate it.
Do you think this could be a

194
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,400
field goalathon?
That's that's a new term.

195
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,360
I love it.
The field Golathon.

196
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,360
That's that's the Steelers
byline.

197
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,200
Kind of sounds, Pittsburgh
Steelers sounds.

198
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,680
Win field goalathon.
Yeah, it sounds like a

199
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:21,120
transformer too, so.
It wouldn't surprise me.

200
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,400
I mean, how many games have you
watched of the Steelers in the

201
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,280
past 5-10 years that have been a
field goal game?

202
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,400
A lot of them.
Yeah, and this, this kid for

203
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,880
them is a field goal machine,
so.

204
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,920
I mean, I don't know.
I don't think it's going to be

205
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,640
like that though.
I don't know who's going to win,

206
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,440
but it's going to be somewhere
in that, like 28 to 1428 to 17

207
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,160
range, 2824, something like
that.

208
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,240
I don't know.
I think it, I think here's

209
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,280
here's my take on the Steelers
winning.

210
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:52,840
If they can get the 21 points,
they're going to win the other.

211
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:58,360
The other take to that is if the
Steelers are down by more, more

212
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,200
10 points or more at half time,
they've lost.

213
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,040
That's the way I feel about.
It, you know, I was kind of

214
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,400
thinking that I was thinking the
same way.

215
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,460
Just because they have such a
terrible history in the play

216
00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:12,400
offs, if they get off to a bad
start, the fans are going to

217
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,920
have nothing to cheer about.
All those bad, all that Vadnais

218
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,200
of that that Cleveland Browns
game comes back into play.

219
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,000
That was the last time they
played a home game.

220
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,920
Yeah, you get the billing on the
three and out.

221
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,320
And you just like.
Why can't Tomlin and then it's

222
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,520
just a negative effect.
Why can't Tomlin win a playoff

223
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,480
game?
Why can't Tomlin come out and

224
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,760
then why can't Tomlin have his
players ready?

225
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,920
You know, I think this is up to
the Steelers to come out and

226
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,080
take control of this game.
And by that I mean stay in it

227
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,160
till halftime and then I'll be
OK then.

228
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,200
Then we're good.
You know, no matter what

229
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,280
happens, if I think if they're
in it at halftime, we're in a

230
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,920
dog fight till the end.
Speaking of field goals, Big Pun

231
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,600
5159 on YouTube.
Hey buddy, hit that subscribe

232
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,960
button.
Thanks for being here.

233
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,760
Would really love to add you to
the list.

234
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,000
What are the odds Boswell misses
a kick?

235
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,880
I think the same as always.
Well, you make it or you miss

236
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,280
it.
So 5050, yeah.

237
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,040
No, actually I think I think
they're probably pretty high.

238
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,440
I I was down by the river.
I was down by the river today.

239
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,800
And it's pretty windy down
there.

240
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,640
And on top of that, it's very
cold.

241
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,040
So, you know, when the wind
blows off the lake like it does

242
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,600
here in Pittsburgh, then it's
hard to kick at the stadium.

243
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,080
And I think it's going to be, I,
I don't think it's going to be a

244
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,320
factor, but I think it's going
to keep people from wanting to

245
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,680
kick, you know, 55 yard field
goals.

246
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:33,800
Right.
Yeah, Yeah, I think you're

247
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,880
right.
Yeah, I don't know.

248
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,320
But I mean, I guess you could
say Baz and.

249
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,720
Baz has missed some field.
Goals.

250
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,520
He's missed some field goals
late in the years.

251
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,800
So his confidence is is shaking,
I think.

252
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,840
Could be, could be.
Yeah, so.

253
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,720
I think it's pretty high.
It's higher than 50, I would say

254
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,080
75%.
Let's go back up here to Mike

255
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,640
Lawrence on YouTube again.
Before I kick this question out

256
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,440
there, I want to thank you guys
for being here.

257
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,680
If you're on YouTube, really
appreciate it.

258
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,040

You'll know every Monday night
we're live 7:00 PM Eastern Time.

260
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,960
This is our normal game time.
Now we got that special game

261
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,600
tonight, the Steelers Texans
playoff game down at the ACT.

262
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,440
And don't get don't get on TD
for wearing a periwinkle shirt.

263
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,720
He's promised us he's going to
put Black on before the game.

264
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,000
I should make him put on my
Troy, Paul, Molly I.

265
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,120
Don't know, I don't remember.
Promising that.

266
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,480
But anyway, anyway, and if
you're on X, listen, I just

267
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,000
dropped a poll on X Drop the
poll.

268
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,120
There you go, buddy Put.
On a damn shirt.

269
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,040
Stop embarrassing us, you.
Got to buy an out by about two

270
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,080
hours.
You got about two hours poll.

271
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,880
Sons of bitches.
You got about two hours poll on

272
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:53,560
X right now who who's going to
who's going to outsack who Watt

273
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:58,160
and company, which is high Smith
and Herbig or Hunter and

274
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,200
Anderson on the Texan.
So if you're watching us on

275
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,800
YouTube, pick up that post.
You got about two hours.

276
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,880
We're going to talk about that
in a little bit.

277
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,680
And that's why Mike Lawrence, he
says if the defense can put some

278
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:13,200
pressure on Stroud, he'll panic
a bit and throw at least one

279
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:18,960
pick.
Yeah, I mean, it is going to be

280
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:24,840
a turnover battle.
So you know, what is the

281
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,320
turnover margin, key stats, edge
rushing, sacks, kicker, clutch.

282
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,000
We just talked about that with
Boswell.

283
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,720
So what do you guys think?
Who's going to, who's going to

284
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,800
or get on, get on X and you
know, register your vote?

285
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,600
Who's going to have more sacks?
Who is going to have more sacks?

286
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,200
TJ Watt Highsmith or Danielle
Hunter.

287
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,280
I'm including Herbig in that.
No, you're not OK.

288
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,800
Well, that's what I put in the.
Ball.

289
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Wow.
You mean you put his, you put

290
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,800
his name?
It's basically everybody on the

291
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,440
Steelers versus everybody on
the.

292
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:01,880
Tex Oh, OK.
Is that what you did?

293
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,240
This is who's going to get more
sacks is basically all you

294
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,480
asked.
Yeah, for the most.

295
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,520
OK.
All right.

296
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,560
So we're playing elementary
here.

297
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,200
All right, OK.
We're playing, what did you say,

298
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,000
elementary here?
I have to tell you, I'm going to

299
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,480
go with the Texans just because
TJ CJ Watt has one playoff sack

300
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,800
to his record and he hasn't
actually come out and just

301
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,880
dominated playoff games, let's
face it.

302
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:32,320
So for him to suddenly find
religion and get 3 sacks tonight

303
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,440
I think is unlikely.
So I'm going to go with the

304
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,760
Texans out sacking the Steelers
2 to one.

305
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,840
I'm good I.
Don't think it's going to be a

306
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,400
sack.
I also went Hunter Anderson just

307
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,600
because I simply think that CJ
Stroud has the ability to avoid

308
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,200
the sack better than Aaron
Rodgers does.

309
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,560
Well, I think and I think the
Steelers are going to go to

310
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,200
their old reliable play, hurry
up and throw the ball.

311
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,600
So that means throw it in less
than two seconds so that you

312
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,480
don't get sacked, which means
it's going to be the good old

313
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,840
field goal.
A thon, as someone once said,

314
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,800
that's the way I feel like this
is going to go.

315
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,920
I'm not happy about that.
But I do think it's our best

316
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,120
chance of winning.
Unless, of course, you know, the

317
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,040
Texans come out and score 14
points in the first quarter,

318
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,200
which is usually what happens
when the Steelers play in the

319
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,920
playoffs.
And that would be an absolute

320
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,560
disaster.
It would be it would be the

321
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,640
worst thing that could happen.
And excuse me if I have all

322
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,600
these fears because the last six
times it has happened that way

323
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,160
and the last time I was feeling
OK about Baltimore.

324
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,800
And then it got absolutely
smacked in the face by, you

325
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,720
know, King Henry.
And you know the time before

326
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,200
that?
I believe it was the old Brown's

327
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,360
loss smack in the face.
Or maybe it was another.

328
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,720
Baltimore loss, You know, here's
here's the good news.

329
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,440
It's terrible.
Here's the good news, Steve.

330
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,080
You know the last three losses
to were were to Mahomes, Lamar

331
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,480
Jackson and Josh Allen.
That's true, right?

332
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,040
None of them's playing tonight.
That is true.

333
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:13,440
CJ Stroud, a better opponent in
terms of, you know, we're not as

334
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:19,319
fearful of him as those guys.
Also to the run domination,

335
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,200
well, that's that's a Derrick
Henry staple.

336
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,319
There is no Derrick Henry
tonight or anything even close

337
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:30,000
to it.
So I think if you look at those

338
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:37,120
two things, this is setting up
better for the Steelers than any

339
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:41,640
of these games have in the past.
And unfortunately, I think

340
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,040
that's what makes us a little
bit more nervous because we were

341
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:46,240
kind of saying ourselves like,
well geez, if we can't win this

342
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,760
one or are we going to ever win
1?

343
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,000
Well, I mean, your point is well
taken.

344
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,960
Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson.
Before that, it was actually

345
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,880
Baker Mayfield who turns out to
be a pretty good quarterback.

346
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,000
Yeah.
And Patty Mahomes, Tom Brady

347
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,080
before that, that was the.
AFC championship game, Yeah.

348
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,000
And then Joe Flacco before that.
And so, and he's a Super Bowl

349
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,720
champion.
So yeah, I can.

350
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,520
I guess I can see where you're
coming from there.

351
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,360
Yeah.
All right guys, listen, I just

352
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,600
put a poll up on YouTube as
well.

353
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,920
If you're watching us on
YouTube, again, thanks for being

354
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,360
here.
I'm always going to do this.

355
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,800
Hit that subscribe button, click
notifications.

356
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,800
You'll know when we're live.
We're doing a postgame show.

357
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,560
So it's going to be a joyous
postgame show or HJ is going to

358
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,880
be throwing F bombs everywhere.
I'm hoping for joyous.

359
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,600
Don't start the moaning now,
man.

360
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:35,480
Don't.
Don't I'm.

361
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,920
Just sighing.
I'm allowed to.

362
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,360
I'm allowed to be nervous for a
playoff game.

363
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,200
We haven't won the last six
times we've done this.

364
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,960
Sigh.
All you want anyway.

365
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,560
We haven't even been competitive
the last six times.

366
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,120
Listen what I was trying to say
is on YouTube, I put up a poll

367
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,840
more sacks for the Steelers or
Texans Steelers Texans currently

368
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,280
at 5050.
Click on that, you know, tell us

369
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,280
on YouTube if you're you're in
the chat, click there and let us

370
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,000
know your vote feel the steal is
in the house.

371
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,240
I I I love it.
All the elements do favor Teflon

372
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,960
Don.
He's referring to Tomlin, for

373
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,200
those of you new to the channel.
Yeah, that's true.

374
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:25,280
Even the Texan QB, whom to me is
another Lamar Jackson EHO chokes

375
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,840
up What?
I'm old EE EE ho chokes up.

376
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,680
What's that mean?
Lamar Jackson?

377
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,920
EHO is that some sort of you see
that?

378
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,680
EHOI don't know who EHO, but
fearless steel will tell us.

379
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,160
Who, oh oh who chokes up.
OK, he corrected himself.

380
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,080
Sorry about.
That who you know.

381
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:45,680
Same.
Same.

382
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,880
Close enough.
Yeah, Big Pun says I'm still

383
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,800
traumatized from the Marquis
Pouncey snap over Big Ben's

384
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,800
head.
Look, that's the past, OK?

385
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,440
That's that.
That's the past.

386
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,480
But it lives within us all.
I know, I know, just like wide,

387
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:07,840
Wright lives with Pat forever.
OK, let's go to some thoughts on

388
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,880
the quarterback battle a rod
versus Stroud.

389
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,600
What are your thoughts on how
these two are going to play

390
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,600
tonight?
HJ.

391
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,160
Who versus Stroud?
Yeah.

392
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,360
A rod A.
Rod.

393
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,680
Oh, well, I mean, you, you know,
Rodgers has definitely has the

394
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,560
upper hand here.
He's been in this situation.

395
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,600
He's played in 21 of these damn
games.

396
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,560
I mean, yeah.
From your thank you I.

397
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,320
Believe that, you know, that's
going to give him the upper hand

398
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,520
should the game, you know, be
close down the end.

399
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,480
Now, it's not going to help him
if he has to Chuck the ball 50

400
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,200
times.
That's not going to, that's not

401
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,840
going to work well for Aaron
Rodgers.

402
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,640
You got to figure he's thinking
this, it could be the last time

403
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,360
he's going to be in a playoff
game.

404
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,280
So he's going to, he's going to
be, he's going to want to come

405
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,520
out and be sharp.
So I think he's going to, I

406
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,520
think he's, I, I'm hoping that
he's going to be a little bit

407
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,040
more risky with that deep ball.
My fear is he's going to be too

408
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,080
risky against the 2 great
cornerbacks and it's going to

409
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,920
cost the Steelers.
So I had to, I just have, I just

410
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,280
have such mixed emotions when it
comes to Aaron Rodgers.

411
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,080
I want to put the ball in his
hands, but I feel it like if you

412
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,600
do it too much, you've got to
have the right balance.

413
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:29,320
So, so I mean, I, I hate to say
this, but I would almost rather

414
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,840
he throw the ball 5 to 15 yards
and don't worry about the deep

415
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,560
ball this game.
Unless he wants to give DK an

416
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,800
opportunity deep early in the
game.

417
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,360
I would be OK with the deep ball
early in the game just to loosen

418
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:46,080
up.
You know, Stingley and their

419
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:48,120
their other guy on the other
other side.

420
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:50,840
I forget their other
quarterback, but he's fantastic

421
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,040
too.
That's the way I feel about it.

422
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,520
I think Aaron has the has the
edge as a veteran later in the

423
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,080
game.
I don't think anybody has the

424
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,240
advantage earlier in the game to
be honest with.

425
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,720
I just want to give you an
update on the poll.

426
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,880
It is so far on X at the sports
porch.

427
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,320
Where where are we there?
The sports porch one, It is 100%

428
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,480
the Texans will have more sacks.
And on the Google poll, on the

429
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:25,200
YouTube poll, it is 5050.
So you know if you're watching

430
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,720
on X.
Good Lord.

431
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,440
You know, we'll, we'll put
another poll up later, fellas.

432
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:36,440
Their podcasts who bitch on 90
and the in the money he got.

433
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,720
OK, I I love you feel the steal,
but you got to understand I'm

434
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,800
old.
I don't know, I, I, I can't

435
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,760
always catch up to these like,
you know?

436
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,800
90 got a black and gold
retirement check and he has won

437
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,120
many games for Teflon dying.
You're right though, 9090 has

438
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:52,960
paid his dues.
I mean, I don't, I don't mean to

439
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,840
bash him.
It's just that in the playoffs

440
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,080
feel the steal.
He's been invisible and and

441
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,080
that's where you become a real
stealer when you when you could

442
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,520
do it in the playoffs with or
without the money.

443
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,440
I don't.
To me, it's not about the money.

444
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,680
It's never been about the money
to be a Steeler.

445
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,200
It's been about the results in
the playoffs.

446
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,520
And that's where I have a gripe
with 9090 does not show up in

447
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,640
the playoffs.
Hey, prove me wrong tonight, TJ.

448
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,400
Come out, get 3 sacks, be
dominant and show the Steelers

449
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,480
that the money was well spent
and you're going to win a

450
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,360
playoff games.
Cam's probably going to get a

451
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:29,720
bonus if they win a playoff
game.

452
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,080
I think that was one of his
bonuses.

453
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,320
Was it?
Yeah, I think so.

454
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,760
So hey, play for Cam.
How about?

455
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,880
About that, yeah, yeah.
Force a turnover, make an impact

456
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,800
in the game.
That's what I'm saying, like I

457
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,720
if that can happen then that I'm
going to be a little bit higher

458
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,760
on #90 but until he proves that
he can do it in the play offs I

459
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,800
just can't.
I can't get behind him being an

460
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,120
all time stealer.
Great, just can't do it.

461
00:23:56,360 --> 00:23:58,840
OK, let's talk about this
playoff history.

462
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,800
Texans O and six in the road,
Tomlin 22 and 3 total Monday

463
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,480
Night Football at home.
Does it mean something?

464
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,760
I mean, I know I'm inclined to
say that it doesn't mean a lot

465
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,560
on the Texan side because O and
six over.

466
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,040
I mean, Stroud, how many Rd.
playoff games has he played?

467
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,240
One, you know, maybe he's won a
couple playoff games.

468
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,160
So yeah, but at the other side.
So so it's kind of like that

469
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,200
doesn't mean a lot, but the 22
and 3 record on Monday Night

470
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,720
Football for Tomlin, something
like that does mean a lot.

471
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,320
That that's a hell though.
I'll I'll tell you why not.

472
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:40,920
OK.
OK, I'll tell you.

473
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,880
Why not give it to me?
Let me ask you this is Ben

474
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,800
Roethlisberger playing
quarterback tonight.

475
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,320
He is not, no.
Is James Harrison playing

476
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,520
defensive end or edge rusher?
He is not.

477
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,160
Is Troy Palamalu playing safety
tonight?

478
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,560
I believe he retired.
Yes, in fact, all those players

479
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,880
have retired and they probably
have at least half of those

480
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,120
wins, right?
Yeah.

481
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,840
So no, it it doesn't mean
anything.

482
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,840
You know, if anything, you, you
could, you could maybe even make

483
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:21,440
an argument that it could
actually go against the Steelers

484
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,800
if they don't get off to a good
start.

485
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,440
And it just so happens that.
Yeah, we're on.

486
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,200
Yeah, you know, let's let's say
they don't get off to a good

487
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,760
start and and fans start billing
on on three and outs, right.

488
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,880
It can actually go against them
the home field.

489
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:45,360
So I don't think so.
We just so you know that you

490
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,600
know why it's a little off
kilter here.

491
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,280
We've just have a call into the
counselor.

492
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,760
Yeah, we can't.
Who is at the game?

493
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,200
He said.
It's just off the chain down at

494
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,560
the stadium.
It's loud, it's obnoxious, it's

495
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,760
unruly.
That's why I have my Pala Molly

496
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,400
shirt on.
Now he looks, Now he looks like

497
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,840
a fan.
You know where we go no more.

498
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,880
Flowers.
No more periwinkle.

499
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,640
You don't have to send them
flowers.

500
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:17,760
OK, TJ Watt is feeling it.
All right, so while what's

501
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,280
happening here is hockey, Jesus
is talking to the counselor.

502
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,160
The counselor has season tickets
and playoff tickets, and he's

503
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,800
down in Akershire.
We'll get an update from him.

504
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,000
I'm going to remove him from the
show while the Grand Schwabini

505
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,880
and I continue this remarkable
and amazing broadcast that

506
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,840
you're watching Steelers playoff
pre game on the sports porch

507
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,680
black and gold.
That's what it is.

508
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,120
If you haven't already done it,
man, let me tell you something.

509
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:51,000
We have a lot of fun doing this.
We're growing our channel a lot.

510
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:54,240
Thousands of percent of I sound
like Donald Trump.

511
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,240
Thousands of percent.
Billions of dollars.

512
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,080
The channel's incredible.
It's absolutely fantastic.

513
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,160
Yeah.
And and yeah, no, no politics

514
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,360
here.
But what I can tell you is we're

515
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:10,280
growing in the 1000 plus percent
range.

516
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,040
Definitely the best show I've
ever watched.

517
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,560
Every every every month, and
that's thanks to you guys

518
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:18,920

everything.

So hit subscribe if you like
what you're watching here.

00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,480

Eastern Steelers postgame

522
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,560
hockey.
Jesus, he does Penguins postgame

523
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,080
shows.
He's getting, he's actually

524
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,000
getting pretty good at it, so.
People who don't watch the show,

525
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,040
yeah, Not very smart.
Yeah, not very smart, those

526
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,480
people.
I I I agree with you.

527
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,400
I agree with you.
Here you go.

528
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,880
Let's see.
Terrible Towel.

529
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,960
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
That I think the Texans have an

530
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,640
overall dismal record.
Are you back with us, HJ?

531
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,840
I'm back.
OK.

532
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,360
What's the report from the
field?

533
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,240
Yeah, let's.
Get a report from the field.

534
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,840
So the report from the field is
there, according to Scott, who

535
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,160
goes the games.
He's a season ticket holder.

536
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,920
Yeah, the counselor, we
explained that.

537
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:13,600
He's he saw exactly 1 Houston
Texan jersey, so he's saying

538
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,200
it's the a decided home field
advantage.

539
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,960
He says feels like a playoff
atmosphere.

540
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,840
Nobody's down there feeling
nervous about the game.

541
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,400
So I think all systems go down
at the ACT.

542
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,920
That's what it's sounding like
to me.

543
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,720
He was hoping that mine was down
there to do a a belly dance with

544
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,040
the shirt off at halftime.
But I said I don't think that's

545
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,760
going to happen down at the ACT.
But you know, you never know

546
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,920
what could happen here in the
studios in Monroeville.

547
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,360
Listen, I'm, I'm, I'm beginning
to believe that I am going to

548
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,560
have to absolutely embarrass
myself to get us any traction.

549
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,920
Maybe.
Well, you're going to have to

550
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,680
embarrass, embarrass yourself if
you don't win the playoff games,

551
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,480
Yeah.
Well.

552
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,880
I there's always that.
I didn't do too bad this week.

553
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,080
I held my own 2 and 2.
Maybe we should.

554
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,080
Maybe we should.
Maybe we should get that over

555
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,080
with.
Let's do that now.

556
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:05,240
OK, so let's do.
So anyway, down at the ACT,

557
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,840
everything systems go down
there, everybody's pumped up.

558
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,680
The atmosphere is definitely a
playoff atmosphere and there are

559
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,240
one Houston Texan down there.
I did see one on TV so.

560
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,640
There's two He's wearing an
Andre Johnson shirt.

561
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,480
They they showed one on TV so
there's two fans.

562
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,760
OK, 2.
Fans 2 Fans at the ACT.

563
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,960
If you see more, let us know.
OK, so.

564
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:33,000
Like who in Houston from like
90° weather would bother to come

565
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,160
up to Pittsburgh to watch a
football game?

566
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,040
Exactly.
I mean, on top of that, they

567
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,080
play in a Dome, right?
They wouldn't even know what to

568
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,360
do outside.
Right.

569
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,920
They they're, they're used to
like air conditioning for their

570
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,760
football game Exactly.
So you know.

571
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,520
I I can see why it's a decided
home field advantage.

572
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,040
Let's just hope that CJ Stroud
and his basketball skills

573
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,240
doesn't automatically shut that
off with the 1st 2 drops.

574
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,040
Let's hope so.
Let's hope so.

575
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,080
He.
Let's hope he doesn't.

576
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,520
Kind of morph back into an Ohio
State.

577
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,600
CJ Stroud.
Oh man, let's hope that's not

578
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,960
the case.
OK, while we finish up the show,

579
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,640
which is going to go on here for
about another half hour, we got

580
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,560
to get our porch picks in.
And then at the very end, we're

581
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,680
going to do our own predictions
on certain things.

582
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,040
I did drop another poll in
YouTube.

583
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,800
Who do you think's going to win?
Steelers, Texans.

584
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,000
So tell us right there.
Well, that's an interesting

585
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,840
poll.
Well, look.

586
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,440
Man, I'm too tough.
We asked the hard questions

587
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,080
here.
I I put the Palomalo shirt on.

588
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,440
Hey.
At least you didn't get rid of.

589
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,640
The Perry Heckle.
Thank you.

590
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,240
I'm doing.
I'm doing double duty.

591
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,000
I'm making up the the goddamn
poles as we go along and and you

592
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,520
guys just want to keep making it
more difficult.

593
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,760
Come on.
You chose to wear the periwinkle

594
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,120
shirt.
I had to bring I had to bring a

595
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:54,920
shirt for you.

596
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,640
Mean, come on.
What's next?

597
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,440
You don't you don't have a
Terrible Towel I.

598
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,200
Like the boys are heading onto
the field right now.

599
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,000
Aaron looks not.
Nerd just did the you know, he's

600
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,240
got the chest bump.
I got this, I got this.

601
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,520
Don't wear boys.
OK, here are the finals from the

602
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,400
playoffs.
Rams, Panthers, Bears, Packers,

Bills, Jags, Eagles, Niners.
Sorry, Schwaber, Pats, Chargers.

604
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,880
Let's do porch picks.
Porch picks.

605
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,720
This was a bad a bad week for
the Grand Schwabini.

606
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,120
He was one and three.
He had the Panthers.

607
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:40,160
He had the Packers.
He had the Jaguars and he had

608
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,120
the Eagles, but he did have the
Patriots.

609
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,240
Yeah.
Patriots save you, Chris was.

610
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,800
Two and two I you know, it
doesn't matter who I had.

00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,000
I was two and two.
Steve was 3 and 1.

612
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,720
So HJ still in the league. 32

00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,400
next game.
Yeah, the Steelers.

615
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,480
Isn't this the 6th game?
Yeah, the the no.

One, there's no, there's a few 3
but you but you just said I went

Yeah, hold.
On a second here.

619
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,000
I mean the the level of
mathematics on this program

620
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,200
let's.
Try it again is.

621
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,440
Sorely lacking, absolutely, I
know.

622
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,960
And I was in the mortgage
business and banking for 30.

623
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,000
Two I.
Can't imagine how many.

624
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,680
Can you imagine just putting
your money on the line?

625
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,240
Oh my.
God, now tell me you're not

626
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,720
better off today.
OK, well.

627
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,760
I don't have my mortgage now so
I am.

628
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:39,920
Better off.
There you go.

629
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,840
Hey, you paid it off.
Yeah, I think I did a refi for

630
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,400
you.
Yeah, there goes another 4000.

631
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,240
Dollars Welcome back in with the
refi so you can make an extra 4

632
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,480
grand for yourself.
Congratulations.

633
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,400
Steve and Chris had the Rams.

634
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:01,960
Stephen Mark had the Packers.

Yeah, you already did that one.

636
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:07,680
Just.
Stop.

637
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,440
Let's move.
On, let's just move on.

638
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,520
If you can't, if you can't do
it, you can't do it.

639
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,000
Yeah, if you can't do math,
let's just we'll, we'll let you

640
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,600
know in the post game.
We'll figure it out, let it

641
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,040
ended up.
Actually, I was two and three

642
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,920
and Steve was four and one and
Mark was two and three, 'cause

643
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,560
you guys had the Patriots.
I I don't think I did the last.

644
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,440
One.
There you go. 4:00 and 1:00

645
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,240
sounds much better than three
and.

646
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,760
Right, right.
All right, all right, all right.

647
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,240
So that being said, I, we will,
we will, you know, change that

648
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,040
later.
Saturday, 4:30 PM Eastern Time,

649
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:49,920
Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos.
Buffalo Bills at the Denver

650
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,320
Broncos.
Well, this.

651
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,280
Is easy.
My head is telling me the

652
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,840
Broncos, my heart is telling me
the Bills.

653
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,880
I'm going with my heart on this
one.

654
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,800
And I've also picked the Bills
to make it to the Super Bowl.

655
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:09,199
So I'm going with the Buffalo
Bills over Josh Allen over

656
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:12,360
Bonex.
I'm going Bonex, I believe now.

657
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:15,880
I believe in Sean Payton and
Bone Nix.

658
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:20,760
And.
Pathetic this football season

659
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,280
has become.
I'm believing in Bo Nicks.

660
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,280
OK, so Bo Nicks, who do we got
here?

661
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:35,639
This was Bills at Broncos.
Bills at Broncos.

662
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,920
OK, I'm trying to fix things on
the fly which is a really bad.

663
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,239
Idea it is a very bad.
Case.

664
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,520
So you guys, you had the
Broncos.

665
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,239
I've got the Bills.
It's a 5050 toss.

666
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,679
Up.
Yeah, I'm you know what?

667
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:52,199
I I think Josh Allen had a road
Jesus. 1st Rd. victory ever.

668
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,120
You can't stop him now.
I know, I know.

669
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,800
Broncos.
Yeah.

670
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,360
Josh Allen.
I'm going with the Bills.

671
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,920
OK, I'm going with the Bills.
There you go, next game on

672
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,520
Saturday at 8:00 PM.
It is.

673
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,560
Here's the barn burner.
The 40 Whiners?

674
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:13,560
Yes.
The 49ers who eked out a victory

675
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,120
over the Grand Schwabenes last
night?

676
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,280
Sorry about.
That son of a gun. 49ers at the

677
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:24,760
Seahawks, HJ.
I've been a Seahawks believer

678
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,560
since Week 2 and I nothing has
stopped me from thinking that

679
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,960
they're still the number one
seed in the West.

680
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:40,800
Therefore, I'm going with the
Seahawks in a 2421 victory.

681
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:46,440
I'm going Seahawks.
There's too many injuries on the

682
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,520
49ers side.
Yeah, they're beat up too.

683
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,120
Good point.
This is.

684
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,600
And they just didn't.
They just beat him like 31 to 3.

685
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,920
Yeah, something like.
That something like.

686
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,680
That so they beat him pretty
good.

687
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,200
No coaching issues there.
You guys know how I love you

688
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,440
guys know how I love Brock
Purdy, but I I got to tell you,

689
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,360
the Seahawks defense is really
good.

690
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,920
Yeah, I.
Special teams, they got Sheehan.

691
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,000
I know I'm I'm going with the
Seahawks as well.

692
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,840
I would, you know what would be
great and I'm not going to say

693
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,080
I'm going to save it for.
Could it be the Seahawks year?

694
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,040
Sam Darnold rises to the
occasion?

695
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,920
Yeah, OK.
Could be, but you know, why not.

696
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:33,400
It'll be shocking.
Sunday, 3:00 PM, The Rams at the

697
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,080
Bears.
Your pick in the comments.

698
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,960
Well, this is also a head versus
gut situation.

699
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:48,560
My head says Chicago because
they don't seem to like they can

700
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,960
be beaten.
But my gut and my previous picks

701
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,560
have told me that the Rams are
going to go to the Super Bowl.

702
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,160
So I got to stick with my picks
from the preseason and I'm going

703
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,000
to stick with the Rams.
I think I'm going to go with the

704
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,680
Bears.
I think the Rams are just sort

705
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,200
of skating by these days.
They are that's.

706
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,600
True and.
Stafford's basically pulling

707
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:10,520
them over.
The yeah.

708
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,160
And Stafford's, you know, he
bring his finger this week.

709
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:19,320
That doesn't help things.
You know, it's hard to believe

710
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,040
in the Bears because I, I, I
believe that they've really

711
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,960
played over their heads this
year.

712
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,480
Cardiac.
Bears, you know.

713
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,560
But hey, I'll, I guess I'll take
another a game at home.

714
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,240
Tell you what, that Ben Johnson,
Great coach.

715
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,000
I do like Ben.
But he is a He is a total jerk

716
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,720
though.
Yeah, the way he did that hand

717
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:38,760
at.
The end.

718
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:40,960
How was that?
Be professional.

719
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,120
That was ridiculous.
That was ridiculous.

720
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,000
Did you hear what he was saying
in the locker room?

721
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,800
I didn't hear what he.
Said he was saying I I hate the

722
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,400
effing Packers.
Like, like, grow up, you idiot.

723
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,560
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Well.

724
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,640
I mean there, you know, there
are some who would argue that's

725
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,120
old school football too.
I.

726
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:00,560
Don't.
Remember old school coaches

727
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,880
saying that about the other
teams players?

728
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,600
Did.
Right, right players did, but

729
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,800
coaches never would say.
That not, not, not in that way,

730
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,320
but they would.
They would, yeah, they would

731
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,000
voice their displeasure and
well, buddy Ryan said a lot of

732
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,160
shit.
Well, yeah, Buddy Ryan, but that

733
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,440
and that's kind of what it was
like.

734
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,040
It was like a little bit like
Buddy Ryan.

735
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,760
Yeah, you know, and it was, it
was just I personally, I just

736
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,520
think it's weak.
Back in the day, you don't know,

737
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,640
I, I loved Buddy Ryan.
Even when we were arguing back

738
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:26,760
in the day, I loved him.
I mean.

739
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,480
He was fun, but we were also
immature children.

740
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,960
Yeah, that's true at the time.
You know what I mean?

741
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:33,600
Absolutely.
For yourself.

742
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,040
OK, so you're going Bears.
Bears.

743
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,600
You're going Rams.
Yep, it's another coin toss

744
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,920
there, Klein.
I'm I'm going bears, man.

745
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,920
I got to tell you, I, I, I could
not believe the comeback.

746
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,760
I mean it it.
It they've done it all.

747
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,880
Year, of course, they.
I think eventually they're going

748
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,880
to get burnt by.
That I'm telling you right now.

749
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,920
By a guy named Stafford.
I was.

750
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,160
I was paying.
He'd be the guy to do it.

751
00:38:56,240 --> 00:39:02,400
I was paying attention to the
game and it it, it after you

752
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,080
text me back and we're like,
text us back and we're like,

753
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,640
hey, they do this, they come
back.

754
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,320
That's what.
They do, yeah, you said, you

755
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,600
said I hope the Bears make this
a game, and I said absolutely.

756
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:12,920
They.
Well, but then there was they,

757
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,480
then there was that touchdown
that Green Bay got and I text

758
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,000
you back and said that's a
killer.

759
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,920
I actually thought the game was
over.

760
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,760
Then I I got ready for bed with
my wife.

761
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,520
We went in there, you know, the
whole routine, laid down,

762
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,960
clicked on the TV.
So you got a routine before bed?

763
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,320
Yes, we do.
You you were going to bed at at

764
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,840
6:30.
Anyway.

765
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,360
Did you lay your clothes out on
the?

766
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,760
Yeah, I watered.
You set your alarm.

767
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,360
I watered the plants.
Yeah, I dusted this did.

768
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,240
You make sure the dogs.
Were in their cage.

769
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:46,800
They were in their cages.
Locked the house up.

770
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,160
Sounds like a sounds like a
great routine anyway.

771
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,160
Anyway, I came back and it
looked like the bears were still

772
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,560
down.
They were like 5 minutes left

773
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,040
and they were down by 16 and I
was like this game is definitely

774
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,480
over.
And then they won, so I'm going

775
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:00,920
with the bear.
That's why I'm saying.

776
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,160
I mean it was it was a relative
miracle though.

777
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,320
I mean the 4th down play was a
total miracle.

778
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,720
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, no doubt about that.

779
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:09,880
Yeah.
So.

780
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,720
Can't count on miracles.
That off track says there are

781
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:16,280
some idiots in this league.
There are more than some.

782
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,680
There are many quite.
Many, I agree, kind.

783
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,680
Of like this room.
Kind of like, kind of like this

784
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:25,400
room.
Absolutely.

785
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:30,800
Yep.
We got a 75% to 25% victory

786
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,800
margin for the Steelers in the
poll on YouTube.

787
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:39,520
Not too bad.
The Steelers on YouTube were

788
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,000
sacks.
So that was Stingley.

789
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,240
That was Stingley.
So OK, listen, I I want to talk

790
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:48,200
about something on the.
Zombie Lassiter is the other

791
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,760
guy.
OK, I want to fire away.

792
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,840
I want to go back to this
because we're going to do our

793
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,120
Steelers predictions shortly
here or this game predictions

794
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,520
shortly here.
How important is it?

795
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:05,360
And this is, this is what I
think, truthfully, that one of

796
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:10,360
the biggest keys to the game is
that we haven't talked about it,

797
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,880
is JPJ on Nico Collins.
If that's what they decide to

798
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:15,800
do.
I think that.

799
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,680
Nobody, nobody knows that that's
what they're actually going to.

800
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,640
Do well, I guess what I'm
talking about is they're going

801
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,840
to, they're obviously the run
game, which has not been that

802
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,440
impressive this year for them.
It's not something that they're

803
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,720
going to try to hammer home.
I don't see that happening.

804
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,960
I think they will.
It's possible I.

805
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,400
Think that's the wrinkle that
the Steelers need to be ready.

806
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,680
For I agree over the middle with
Dalton Schultz, that's a problem

807
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,960
that that could be an issue, but
that's what happens is now you

808
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,360
have that distraction.
And I'm, I'm what I want to see

809
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:54,920
is the JPJ that improved this
year on his positioning and, you

810
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,520
know, his coverage and, and the
contact he makes the kind of

811
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,720
contact if we see that because
the, the guy that was burnt I

812
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:07,320
think by Nico Collins three
years ago, I, I think he's a

813
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,360
different guy.
Yeah.

814
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,360
For sure I.
So, but I do think the Texans

815
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:16,240
are going to try to test that
early because truth be told,

816
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,920
that's probably our pizza if
anybody would like to go to the

817
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,160
front door because I don't think
my wife is home.

818
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,960
OK, get right, right.
Go on up.

819
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,600
We'll, we'll take.
It from here, we'll take the

820
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,400
defensive.
Question from here.

821
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,720
Yes, we'll take it.
From here you have to leave me

822
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:35,000
in here because of the sounds,
so leave that is fine.

823
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,200
Just stay on in.
Don't be afraid.

824
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,120
We're not going to cut.
Yeah, don't.

825
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,400
Worry we will catch you Caliente
pizza and draft house.

826
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,400
This shit is awesome.
Yeah, their wings are pretty

827
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:43,920
good too.
I'm.

828
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,640
Going to say they're OK.
Mark, So what what do you think

829
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,640
about this defensive, this
defensive situation with JP

830
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,560
Junior?
Well, to be honest, I'm in

831
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,800
agreement with you in that I
don't know that they're going to

832
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,520
have him follow Nico Collins
around and.

833
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,240
I think that would be a mistake,
don't you?

834
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,400
I think, I think you want to mix
it up, you know, you want to

835
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,880
have a few different people on
him so he's not seeing the same

836
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,880
thing over and over and then
maybe figure something out.

837
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:16,160
I just hate when they they they
switch from that man to man to

838
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,880
the zone and then it's like
suddenly Jay, you know, grandy

839
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,560
doesn't doesn't remember that
that's what they're doing.

840
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:26,560
And then they fly right past the
safety and then they're wide

841
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,280
open.
Everybody's like, I thought you

842
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,800
were going to cover him.
I thought you were going to

843
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,560
cover him.
And then, you know, there's that

844
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,840
long touchdown, right?
That's the that's that's

845
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,480
absolutely, absolutely the thing
that scares the hell out of me.

846
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,800
Yeah.
I'm not worried about JP Junior

847
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,520
getting a pass interference
penalty against Nico Collins.

848
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,720
Yeah, that doesn't, I'm OK with
that.

849
00:43:43,720 --> 00:43:47,240
In fact, most of JP Junior's
pass interferences usually are

850
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:50,400
within the 1015 yard mark
anyways, right?

851
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,880
Rarely do you see him like take
a pass interference penalty

852
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,880
that's deep.
Like he got, he got toasted and

853
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,600
he, he's got his hands up like
this and the guy's trying to

854
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,600
come back from the ball, right?
Yeah, not this.

855
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,640
Year.
So I'm not so worried about that

856
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,880
and I'm not and also not worried
about, you know, getting a 10 or

857
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,560
15 yard penalty, you know, if
it's third and 12 and they and

858
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,040
you know, they throw the flag
because, you know, that

859
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,520
happened.
So I'm not I don't think that's

860
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,520
a big deal.
I think the the opposite is

861
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,800
true.
The the Houston Texans defense.

862
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,800
Here's where I think they've got
an advantage.

863
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,840
They got Shire, who I think is a
is a is a really good

864
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,680
linebacker.
He could easily shut down Kenny

865
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,640
Gainwell's catches and if he
does that, what is, what is,

866
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,280
what is Aaron Rodgers going to
do?

867
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,480
They're going to, they're going
to have to pivot away from that

868
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,280
because that's what they do,
right?

869
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,960
They, they're, they, everybody
knows they want to throw it the

870
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,400
Kenny Gainwell out the flat so
he can get, you know, his, his

871
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,400
five yard catch and you know,
his 6 yard run and there's a,

872
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,160
you know, there's a, there's a
first down if shy here can shut

873
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,960
that down by basically tackling
him as he's catching the ball.

874
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,520
That's going to be a big problem
for the Steelers because they

875
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,920
rely on that pass a lot,
especially the pass like that.

876
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,880
True.
And then if and then if Rodgers

877
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,560
has to hold on to the ball, he
could be a potential sack

878
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,000
problem, which means he could be
a potential fumble problem

879
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,800
because everybody knows you hit
Aaron Rodgers hard enough, he's

880
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,520
going to fumble the ball.
I mean, the guy's fragile and he

881
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,520
just broke his hand in two
places.

882
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,240
So it's not like he's going to
be able to hold on the ball

883
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:25,200
really well when those guys are
coming at him it, you know, 18

884
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,720
mph and then hitting him right
in the face.

885
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:31,200
So that's my, that's my, that's
where I think that the the

886
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,880
Texans defense can stand out
against the Steelers.

887
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,560
If they, if the Steelers can
hold that off, then then I

888
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:43,160
think, I think we've got a game.
But I, I just see so many ways

889
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,400
for the Texans to blow this game
up.

890
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,720
And, and that's, I don't see a
way for the Steelers to blow

891
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:50,360
this game up.
I just don't see it.

892
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:56,400
I I want to address this comment
here by Fish Fish, If you're not

893
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:01,440
a subscriber already, do it at
the Sports Sports Podcast on

894
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:02,360
YouTube.
Why?

895
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,280
What's the benefit to fish the?
Benefit to fish is that he's, he

896
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,520
or she, or if it really is a
fish.

897
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,520
We.
Wonder how we sound?

898
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,120
We have water.
We have a few fish subscribers.

899
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,680
You think so?
We got a swordfish.

900
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,800
We got a shark.
Do we have a Marlin?

901
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:19,720
Do we have?
I don't.

902
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:22,600
Think we have any Marlins, but
we did get a Barracuda who

903
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,560
signed up yesterday.
I'm going to address this right

904
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,320
now.
Can't remember a playoff game

905
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,000
being played on Monday night
ever.

906
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,720
Is this something new?
Last year wasn't it?

907
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:35,160
I I look the power.
Did last year the.

908
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,400
Power of Gemini.
It's been a couple years now.

909
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,800
The power of Gemini tonight is
1, obviously.

910
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:46,160
January 15th, 2024 The Bucks
defeated the Eagles 32 to 9.

911
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:51,840
I remember it well. 16th of Jan
2023 The Cowboys defeated the

912
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,880
Bucks 31 to 14.
Tom Brady's final final NFL game

913
00:46:55,880 --> 00:47:01,280
was a Monday night playoff game,
January 17th of 2022 the Rams.

914
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,240
I think we get.
We got it.

915
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,120
We got So what?
Was that score?

916
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,680
34 to 17.
So these games are not close,

917
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:10,520
that's not.
Good.

918
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,640
That's why, yeah.
That's not good.

919
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,400
Thanks for making us look that
up, fish.

920
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,960
Now I'm officially worried.
I went from I went from worried

921
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,960
to panic mode now.
I wonder.

922
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,120
I wonder what it means actually.
Is it?

923
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:28,320
Is it the cause?
Usually the team that gets the

924
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:32,760
Monday night means it's one of
the teams that played the Sunday

925
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,400
Night Football game in the last
week.

926
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:39,800
So that team that team wins.
Is it the winning team that

927
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,480
comes out and wins?
Or is it the team that's had

928
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,600
much more rest comes out and
wins?

929
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,040
Well, you tell me the Eagles
were one of those games.

930
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,320
Yeah, the Eagles were the rested
team.

931
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,800
Yeah, and the and the Bucks had
to get in and then they they

932
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,320
just went with the momentum.
So in this case, it would be the

933
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,080
Steeler, right?
Because the Texans basically

934
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,000
said you got nothing to play
for.

935
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,880
It doesn't really matter, right?
Although I believe when the

936
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:10,920
Cowboys won they had rested and
the team that they beat had just

937
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,680
got in.
So it's there.

938
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,600
There's no one way St. here.
No, no.

939
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,720
No, there's no magic formula for
this.

940
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:20,680
Who?
Gets blown out, Yeah, for.

941
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,480
Sure.
Hey, Brad, Trombley's in the

942
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,280
house.
Hey, Brad, what's up?

943
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,440
What's up, Brad?
Hey Brad, thanks for putting

944
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,160
that jersey in the mail.
Can't wait to get it.

945
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,080
OK, I want to encourage
everybody.

946
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,200
I'm I'm trying to again doing 15
things at once here, but this is

947
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,480
exciting if you're watching us.
Thanks for being here.

948
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,160
When I want to remember, I want
you to remember that we do have

949
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,640
the post game show right after
the game right here.

950
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:50,880
We're going to be talking what
the hell happened or on to New

951
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,760
England.
And Speaking of Speaking of,

952
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,880
let's just pretend.
I know we don't want to.

953
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,000
I, I know we don't want to, we
don't want to put the cart

954
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,160
before the horse, but we'll,
we'll make it real simple and

955
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:04,440
real quick.
OK.

956
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,160
They win this game, yes.
Can they beat the Patriots?

957
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,960
No.
I'm not even talking about it.

958
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:14,520
I'm not.
I'm not going.

959
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,880
To, I mean, look, no, first of
all, that was an insensitive

960
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,440
question.
It.

961
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:29,280
Was it was, I mean most
consecutive playoff losses?

962
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,920
Oh boy.
This is not one you want to be a

963
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,920
part of this.
Is not a team you want to.

964
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,360
This is not a team you want to
be part of.

965
00:49:35,720 --> 00:49:37,280
Marvin Lewis.
Marty Schott.

966
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,200
We're but for everybody
listening and watching in the

967
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,920
studio over here, we got a we
got a big screen.

968
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,760
And they're showing on ESPN the
most consecutive playoff losses.

969
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,720
Mike Tomlinson #2 on the list
was 6 behind Marvin Lewis of the

970
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:54,160
Bengals was 7.
So yeah, we we don't want to.

971
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,440
Approaching Marvin Lewis
territory.

972
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,560
We don't want to see that I.
Mean it's already bad.

973
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,720
Yeah, where it is.
Yeah, I guess.

974
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:03,960
I guess the bottom line is it
could get worse.

975
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,800
Yeah, I mean, the the thing, the
thing that's colliding here are

976
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,160
two different things.
The Monday Night Football record

977
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,200
versus the playoff losing.
Record.

978
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,000
Right, Right.
These two things, something's

979
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,400
going to give here.
The question is which one is it

980
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,680
going to be right?
And I can't answer that question

981
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:24,680
if if I'm, if I'm a betting man
and I'm not, I would bet that

982
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,000
the Steelers playoff drought
would continue just because I

983
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,640
don't see anything that makes me
feel like they're changing their

984
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:38,240
ways to become suddenly better
than the Houston Texans defense.

985
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,800
I just don't see it.
I mean, I, I guess potentially

986
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,840
it could be DK, right?
That that that it could be DK.

987
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,960
But nobody thinks that Jalen
Warren and Kenny Gainwell are

988
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,800
going to be able to run the ball
on this team.

989
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:53,800
So now they become
one-dimensional.

990
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,400
So that means not only does
Aaron Rodgers have to dodge the,

991
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:03,280
the, the rush, he's got to get
it to DK so that DK can run and,

992
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,320
and, and get down the field.
That just doesn't sound like

993
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,560
it's going to happen.
I mean, I, I want, I want it to

994
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,120
happen and I'm hoping that if it
can happen early, that it can

995
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,840
continue to happen.
That's what I'm hoping for.

996
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,840
That's what I'm hoping the
Steelers come out and get the

997
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,200
ball first or the defense makes
a splash play early.

998
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,400
They got to keep the fans into
the game.

999
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,440
If they can do that, then they
got it.

1000
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,800
They got a chance at this
because they think the home

1001
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,160
field advantage can really work,
can really work for the

1002
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:33,800
Steelers.
And that's why they've had this

1003
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:38,440
Monday Night Football, you know,
23 consecutive straight wins in

1004
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:42,200
Monday Night Football is because
the fans stay into the game and,

1005
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:45,360
and they, they want to be there.
And then they, they just propel

1006
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,080
the Steelers to, you know,
victory.

1007
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,240
OK, so I want to get one last
comment in here and then we're

1008
00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:53,560
going to get our predictions for
the game and bust out of here

1009
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,360
because I still have to upload
this as a podcast, which you can

1010
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,840
get on Spotify, iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcast, or anywhere you

1011
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,280
get your freaking podcast.
And did you pick up the pizza?

1012
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,040
And the pizza, that was not the
pizza guy.

1013
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,840
The pizza guy is on the way.
I got my Door Dash app out so

1014
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:12,880
we're good and also I got to cut
the shorts, I got to upload the

1015
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,320
video.
I got to do all this work.

1016
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,480
Sounds like you got stuff to do.
Well, these guys are asking

1017
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:18,800
sounds.
Like a complainer.

1018
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,440
For fucking pizza.
All right, all right, Fields,

1019
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:22,920
Let's go.
Come on.

1020
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:24,840
Now bring the sports.
Sports.

1021
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,440
Come on, you're gonna do.
Bring it.

1022
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:27,600
Bring it.
Bring it 90.

1023
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,280
Bring it.
Yeah.

1024
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,480
Post game show.
I don't want you to forget about

1025
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,880
that.
I did put a post up on Twitter

1026
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:42,560
on X win or lose, we got the win
or lose up on YouTube and I want

1027
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,640
you to drop your final score
prediction for the Steelers and

1028
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:49,680
the Texans in the chat.
Drop it, drop it, drop it in the

1029
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,120
chat, boys, give us a final
prediction.

1030
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,560
HJ, you're the resident Yenser
score.

1031
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,440
I'm going to and write it down
or I'll write it down.

1032
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,680
Well, you know, I took the
Steelers in this game, so if the

1033
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,280
Steelers are going to win,
they're going to have to win 21

1034
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,720
to 17.
OK, Grand Schwabini.

1035
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,080
Can I change my pick?
I don't care what you do, this

1036
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,800
is just, you know.
I'm going to change the pick,

1037
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,240
all right.
I did not.

1038
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,680
I was not encouraged by the
pregame warmups of CJ Stroud.

1039
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,080
You were very taken aback by.
Yes, I was.

1040
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:31,440
So I'm going to change the pick.
I'm going to go Steelers are

1041
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:40,560
going to win this game and it is
going to be 24 to 20.

1042
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,840
OK.
And TD, this is crazy, man.

1043
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:50,880
I'm going to go Steelers and I
think it's going to be a lot

1044
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,280
bigger than that.
I think it's going to be 35 to

1045
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,640
24.
I think they're going with the

1046
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,920
over.
This is unpredictable.

1047
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,800
We everybody.
'S it's unpredictable.

1048
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,160
Yeah, he's going to eat man K
Metcalf's going to eat.

1049
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:10,280
The defense is going to eat This
is this is for all the marbles

1050
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,920
and there been there was a
comment earlier from somebody.

1051
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:17,800
I I don't have time to put it up
right now, but they said, do you

1052
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,000
think Tom will be be fired after
this game, blah, blah, blah for

1053
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,640
all of the stuff.
And we'll probably have this

1054
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:27,760
discussion after the game if if
they lose, but for all of that

1055
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,880
kind of stuff, man, even though
we think and everybody thinks

1056
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,200
that the leadership will never
fire Tomlin.

1057
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:38,400
Look, let's let's be honest if
they get blown out in this game.

1058
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,960
Tomlin's still not getting.
Fired, I get it.

1059
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,520
It's going to be a really, it's
going to be really hard after

1060
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,120
Harbaugh got fired.
That's the whole point.

1061
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:52,440
So I I think I think that Pat or
that Pat that that that Tomlin

1062
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,320
will get these guys up for this
game.

1063
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,240
So you know, so over.
Yes, Pat off.

1064
00:54:58,240 --> 00:55:00,040
Track way over.
What does he have to do

1065
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,800
differently to get the guys up
for this game as compared to the

1066
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:04,960
Cleveland Browns?
Game.

1067
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,400
Well, I mean, look, he's a
playoff.

1068
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,120
Berth on the line.
He's a wordsmith.

1069
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:12,880
It's about the collaborative,
buying into the weighty downs

1070
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,160
and making good football
decisions.

1071
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,080
We're.
Not going to drop the anchor on

1072
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,800
our ship, right?
That's right, they.

1073
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:24,000
Feel the steal if the if the
Texans beat the Steelers 3, I'm

1074
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,640
buying you season pick.
All right, listen guys.

1075
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,720
Game starts at 1520 minutes.
