• 3:05
  Speaker 2: So very very exciting, ma'ail, and Due said it. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: love when I see that.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not on social media that much during the day,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: but I'll scroll everyone. I'll scroll through it and it
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: is pretty cool. Some of you guys have even been
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: emailing me the last couple of days, the big podcast listeners,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: so I do appreciate it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: You guys are the backbone of the show.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: We do it live overnight and a lot of you
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: have graduated from the overnight shift and you work the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: dreaded day shift now, but you're still loyal to the show,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and I do appreciate the loyalty.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It does meet a lot. It means I can keep
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: doing this, so we thank you for that. But our
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: lead this hour is from Pittsburg, PA.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: The confluence the Alleghany, the Managa Halo, forming the Ohio
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: River and forming a firestorm. As it is on like
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: don't get calling against Mike Tomlin. Couple of Steeler legends
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: have joined the chorus boo boo, and they're saying, Hey,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: it's time for Mike Tomlin to skid daddle, get out
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of here Tomlin. That would be Ben Roethlisberger. I've heard
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of him, Ben Roethlisberger. Hot take guy, Ben Roethlisberger now
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: suggesting that the longtime Steeler.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Coach and his coach.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: He'd been pretty good over the Penn State put over
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: there at Penn State.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Do you see any of this?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: No, you didn't see this though, all right, well, Roethlisberger
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: was joined by his former teammate James Harrison, that badass
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: defensive player James Harrison. They both weighed in on Tomlin's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: future as the speculation machine crisis in the Burg. These
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Steelers are struggling to tie their shoes, chew gum and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: walk at the same time. So will they actually get
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: rid of Tomlin. Will they bring in another coach that
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: has always been a tenured professor job in Pittsburgh. They've
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: had three coaches they've had we've had more popes. It's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: it's the Steelers came around when they became good with
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Chuck Nole, Bill Kawer.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And Mike Tomlin. And that's it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: You got to go back to like the nineteen sixties.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: That's a long, long, long, long time obviously. But just
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to prove I'm not making this up.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Here is Ben.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Roethlisberger on some podcasts that have seven listeners. Here's Roethlisberger
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: commenting that it's slightly time.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: No, it's it's being talked about around here a lot.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's time. Maybe it's a cleanhouse time. Maybe it is.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's time. And I like coach Tomlin. I have
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of respect coach Tomlin. But maybe it's best
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: for him too. Maybe a fresh start for him is
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: what's best, whether that's in the pros, whether maybe go
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: be Penn State's head coach. You know what he would
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: do in Penn State. He'd probably go win national championships.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that's Roethsberg. He did throw a butt in there, Yeah,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: he said. I but Harrison he played under Tomlin for
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: parts of ten seasons in Pittsburgh. And he also said
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: this week he said something has to be done. That's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: James Harrison. Something has to be done, he said, And
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: he added that he doesn't consider Tomlin a great coach.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Body blow, buddy blow, body blow. Okay, So Roethlisberger is
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: stressed that he said that the Steers Obviously, as you
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: heard there, he said they should not fire Tomlin, but
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: he said they should reach an agreement, which is.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Semantics, to end his time in Pittsburgh.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That is a good jumping off point the question as
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: we discussed the question, like would Mike Tomlin even be
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: interested in the Penn State job?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Would he even be interested? So my views on this, I've.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Got shrimp, cocktail, joint bank account, and secret blend, and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: are going to howl like a manchie, is what we're
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: going to do, because that's what you do it now,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you howl like a banchie, you do. First of all,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: would Mike Tomlin be interested in the Penn State job?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Get out of here? What are you talking about? Absolutely?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Not absolutely now This is Ben Roethlisberger tossing out a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: left handed compliment like he's hanging out a free gas
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: station hot dog somewhere on the side of the interstate. Hey, coach,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I respect you. Now go take a demotionion to Happy Valley. Okay,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Why would Tomlin, who has
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a lifetime employment, he's never going to be fired. Why
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: would Tomlan leave the Penthouse a great job, you don't
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: have to worry about being fired.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: They don't do it, and then go coach to junior varsity?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Why would you want to go to junior varsity Penn
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: State in twenty twenty five. It's not the cushy joe
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: paw country club it was in the seventies and the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: eighties and all that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Penn State in twenty twenty five.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It's a war zone there. They can't even hire a
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: coach right now. I was busting LaVar Arrington's chops yesterday.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I think he knows who the new coach is going
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to be. He wouldn't tell me. I said, you got
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to tell me the war. He wouldn't tell me. Like,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: come on, all right, tell me, I won't tell you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: He played, you know, he played over I don't run.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I think he knows. But that aside, it's nil warfare,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: nil warfare, transfer portal mercenaries. You've got boosters fighting with boosters,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and you've got nil guys that have more demands than
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: bride Zilla.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: It's a nightmare. It's an obstacle.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Course that is littered literally the college football world with
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Kamakazi drones and booby traps.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, if you're an NFL coach, it's your royalty.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You're flying private, you're eating shrip cocktails at thirty five
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: thousand feet in the sky, and you're laughing about those
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: college football guys. College football today is like trying to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: navigate a minefield on roller skates.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Good luck, you know, can be done? Not likely?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: And why would Tomlin who hasn't had a losing season,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: as we want a playoff game in a while, but
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: losing what is seventeen freaking years or something like that,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Might be even more than that. But why would he
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: sign up for that?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Like Mike Tomlin left the Steelers, he would walk out
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh and right into the catmergency. He wouldn't have
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to go to express pros. He would he would just
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: get Hey, it's the New York Giants. Hey, Mike, how
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: would you like to coach the Giants? Hey it's the Tennessee. Hey,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: hey Mike, tom how would you like to come to Nashville.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: We've got good country music. There's a Johnny Cash museum here.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: How about that Arizona? Hey, you like cactus. Many people
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: come here to retire and die. You want to come
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to Arizona?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Sure? Why not? What the hell?
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: How about Atlanta? I believe Tomlin's daughter goes to college
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta, the Atlanta area, So there you go.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Take your pick. Take your pick.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Or Tomlin could always pull the Gruden slide on into television.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Put the tools of ignorance on, the makeup, the suit,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the telestrator, all that, and have a carnival in the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: broadcast booth and just use your Mike tomlinisms.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: And you're on your way.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But Tomlin at Penn State, please like, that's like giving
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: up first class. You're flying across the country and I
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: don't really want this first class seat.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Let me let me get the.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Middle seat in the back, near the near the toilet,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: between two fat people.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Let me get that. Roethlisberger knows it right, Harrison knows it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: We all know.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Every man, woman and child knows it's total nonsense. There
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: is a world in the multiverse where Tomlin does end
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: up leaving Pittsburgh, not to college.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: This doesn't make sense to me, all right.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Secondly to TV Land we go where cottage football play
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: by playboys, Chris Fowler promised that ABZ and ESPN play
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: no part in pulling these strings. They're not the puppeteers
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for the college football playoff committee.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: The question on this one.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Chris Fowler, longtime loyal minion to that small, fledgling cable
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: network out of Bristol, Connecticut. He says they play no
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: part in college football selection, of no influence on who's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: in the playoff and who's Where do you.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: File this one? All right?
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: So I file this one under fairy tales and bedtime stories,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: right next to the tooth Fairy having dinner with Santa
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Claus and the Easter Bunny. Okay, the refs don't favor superstars, please.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Like the same concept. I was like, well, there's no makeup.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I work with a.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Guy he's in Florida now, but he's retired, but he
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: we gotta fight.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: He said, Well, the NBA doesn't do makeup co Oh,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: yes they do. No they don't.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Why would they do that? No, they do, they do.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: They do the same concept. ESPN is the sugar daddy
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of college football. And if you've ever had a sugar daddy,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I have not. But the sugar daddy pays the rent,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: They stalk the fridge, they keep the lights on, all
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that stuff. They buy your clothes, and we're supposed to
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: believe that they don't have a seat at the table,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: they don't have a voice in the conversation. You would
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: have to be the village idiot to buy that that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that is what's going on here, and without choking on
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the packaging and all that stuff they've got. I did
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: some out of math on this. I think it's almost
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: eight billion dollars that they're paying out one point three
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: billion dollars a year. They have they being ABCSPN, they
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: have exclusive rights. Plus they run the Southeastern Conference Network,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the SEC network. So that's not really a relationship. That
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: is a full blown corporate partnership. That's a marriage, a
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: corporate marriage, if you will, with joint bank accounts in
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. You think Alabama magically stumbles in with
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: three losses unless there's some kind of I'm not saying
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that's happening, but maybe there's a world where they say, hey,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: we'd like Alabama in there.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: We do very well in the ratings. They've got a
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: good national family, Notre Dame.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: They're the Dallas Cowboys, a college football bigger than that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: because there's more Catholics than Cowboys fans. So there you go.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And they don't get priority seating. They don't say, hey,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: we're paying a lot of money for this. We're paying
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you one point three billion dollars. We know advertisers would
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: like the Notre Dame fighting. IRN spare me in this business.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: The rights holders are not independent observers.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: They're not.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And I know from working in radio stations over the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: years that you got to walk on eggshells. I've gotten
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: in trouble for things I've said when I used to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: do local radio, because I would criticize the team we
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: had to deal with, and people would you can't do that?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Why not as a well, you can't do it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Because some executive has a stick up as tuck us
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and he gets a fan, but who cares?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: You can't do it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: They're a partner and all that, and so everyone plays
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: nice to protect the product and the payout, and you
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: get a lot of watered down commentary. And just like
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: team makes seven errors in a baseball game, you say, well,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: they're not very good on defense.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: But you shouldn't phrase it that way. You shouldn't say
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: they're not that good on defense. You should say they're
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: they're working on it, they're working on it. Well, they're
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: not really working on it. They're they're bad.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: But no, you shouldn't say that because we're you're a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: rights holder, and they might upset some Joe blow.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: In the front office.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's an open secret in sports media. When you
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: own the toy, you help decide who gets to play
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: with the toy.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's it. And you sure no influence. And I'm
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the King of England, by the way, and I want.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: You to bow down to me legally blind Christopher there
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: in England, the ex pat who's now living in England.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: All right, final fault.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: So we now go to victory lap lane. Where is
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: victory lap lane? You ask, well, that would be the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: NFL social media world. Well, that's just social media.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I get.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I'm on the email list for the NFL so they
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: send me a lot of his emails, and they sent
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: me the one that was.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Taking a bow. I saw this or not.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys victory over the Chiefs back on Thanksgiving average
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: fifty seven point two million viewers on CBS, making it
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the most watched regular season game in NFL history. The
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: question is, what do these massive, massive ratings which were
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: sent out by some intern at the NFL say about
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the power of the National Football League on television. So
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: this was a viewing smorgas morgue on Thanksgiving. And it's
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: not because the football was phenomenon.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: It's not that it was fine. It was all right,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: But this.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Was more like reheated turkey day leftovers. We shouldn't eat
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: leftovers the day of Thanksgiving. You should wait a day
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: at least you have them in the fridge. They taste
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: better in the fridge.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: But I want leftovers right Well, we just served the
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: meal an hour ago. What are you doing? I just
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: like the leftovers.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: But a couple think about These are a couple of
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: non playoff teams. The Chiefs and the Cowboys are not
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: playoff teams at this point. But here's the truth. The
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: story that people don't want to talk about at least
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in the NFL.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I think it's all about football. The NFL is no
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: longer really, Ay, Okay, they're not. It's a content machine,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: is what it is. It's an empire. It's not about.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Wins and losses, wins and losses, wins and blankety blank losses.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: A late great Tony Phillips, that's a baseball player, told
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: me when he's very angry with me, probably high on cocaine.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: It's storylines. It's storylines over stats. It's sizzle over steak.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: It's the soap opera.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Over the scoreboard. That's what it is.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: You had that secret blend of eleven herbs and spices.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: You got Travis Kelcey's America's first Man, Taylor Swift's beefcake
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: mahomes Mahomie, the modern day Tom Brady Football Royalty. You
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: got Jerry Jones, the carnival barker of America's team.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: It hit every note.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: It was finger licking good, every demo, It checked every box,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: every family, living room.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: And Fox also they got if.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: We got forty seven million people to watch the Lions
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and the Packers, and the.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Reason why, let me tell you what I think. You
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: know this because you live your own life and you're
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: not dumb.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: The reason why is because nothing distracts from dry turkey,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: lumpy mashed potatoes, biscuits that have the density of cinder blocks,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: or worse, your in laws asking very intrusive personal questions
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: quite like NFL football. All right, The ratings tell you
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: one thing, and one thing only if the NFL builds it.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: The American sports fan doesn't just come.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: They stampede like a herd of caffeinated buffalo and they
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: run in.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: They run in to celebrate and be part of it.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And I would argue that the total viewership this crossover, obviously,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: but the about one hundred million, ninety nine million viewers
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: combined on the and CBS game. They went over one
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: hundred with the late game on Thanksgiving Night. There but
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: man alife, Man alive. Man, It's it's it's quite the deal,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: And so Waving left. Everyone else watches stuff on demand,

  Speaker 1: based on the statistical data from the beginning of the season. Now,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: the season, as you know, does not really begin for
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: most people until Christmas, and really now they've even pushed
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: that back back further. But if you look at your
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: NBA standings and you look at the Oklahoma City Thunder,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: they they're like Secretariat at this point in the in
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the Western counter twenty one and one, they've won thirteen
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: straight games and they have they've absolutely kicked out, but
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: yet they would only have like a five game lead over.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: The Lakers and the markets. Yeah. Yeah, but they're yeah, they.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: And the problem is they're not very interesting. They're good,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: they're not interesting. They're not good for talk radio because
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: they're lo. It's like a traveling AAU team. They all,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you know, they do that hockey thing where they do
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the postgame interview.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: They all like stand behind you know, that's their thing.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: It's pretty corny. It's a corny team. But that's fine.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: They're good.
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: My main question was, do you do you think that

  Speaker 9: they could possibly beat the seventy three and nine those
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: day Warriors.

  Speaker 1: Well, I think they would beat them because all those
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: guys are old now, So yes, they would.
• 32:57
  Speaker 9: Beat like when the Warriors and team like seventy three
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: and nine for the seasons than you think they seventy
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: three and nine records.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we're gonna okay, so we got the hot
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: top time machine. We're gonna take this team. We're gonna
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: send that team back to that team or that time.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I take Golden State, I take the Warriors. You asked
