  Speaker 1: Houston got a couple of defensive scores late and end
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: up winning by twenty four. Could be Aaron Rodgers last
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: game ever. Could be Mike Tomlin's last game as head
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, two stories that certainly are
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: being tossed around here today by all the talk show
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: hosts nationwide. College football. We're six days away from the Natty.
• 3:29

  Speaker 1: to mend here back on the PGA, and it sounds
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: like he's not going to be the last one to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: do it. Sounds like some other guys are going to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: be following in his footsteps. All right, let's talk to

  Speaker 1: Greg Bell with the bell tolls.
• 4:17

  Speaker 3: News with Greg Bell. Brought to you by Copola Diamond Collection, Prosecco,

  Speaker 3: shine game Day Bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Forsecco. Now
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: with twelfth Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck and Budd.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Greg.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: As somebody that still has a Franco Harris Jersey on
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: your wall with your wife hates, I'm pretty sure. Let
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: me ask you about the Steelers situation before we talked Seahawks,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers last game, Mike Tomlin possibly out as head coach,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a team that is good every but is having a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: hard time getting too great. It's sort of similar to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: when John had to make that decision. I think about
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Pete a couple of years ago. What are your thoughts
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: on the Steelers situation and all of those juicy storylines.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: Well, I think Aaron Rodgers played his last game. They
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: signed him with the intent of having it one year.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: The problem with the Steelers signing Rogers is it put
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: off their quarterback situation for a few years now because
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: they drafted Will Howard at Ohio State. He got hurt
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: in the summer and he didn't play at all in
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: the preseason when he was supposed to develop in preseason
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: games and get game reps and be with the one offense.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: And he didn't do any of that, and the name
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: Mason Rudolph as the number two who's only signed for
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: this year as well as a stopgap veteran backup. So
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: their quarterback situation is really not good and they don't
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: know what they have in Will Howard, but this may
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: be time to go find out. And the question to
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: me isn't whether the Steelers are going to fire Mike Tomlin.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: Do you not how any coaches the Steelers have had
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: in my lifetime, your lifetime? Two? Three? Three, three?
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, three, Chuck Noll, Bill Cower, Mike Tomlin, Yeah, three
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: in fifty five years, fifty six years, now three the
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Browns have had three in like the last four months.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: So that it's they are good the Rooney fans. As
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: long as the Rooney family runs and our Rooney Junior
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: is still in charge, I can't see him firing Mike Tomlin.
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: But the question to me becomes, does Mike Tomlin want
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: to be part of what needs to be a rebuild
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: at the quarterback position or will he walk away and say, Okay,
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: I'm done now, because really that's what needs to happen.
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: Whether they draft one, I can't see him signing another
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers one year stopgap type is Will Howard?
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: Are you're just gonna run with Will Howard, which means
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: you're gonna take a couple of years before you're good again.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: And that's the question whether Mike Tomlin wants to do that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: And I'm really surprised that the Steelers sire a coach when,
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: as I said, they don't. They just don't operate that way,
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: and it's part of what has made them good. But
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: in reason that's seven playoff games in a row now
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: that they're not even competitive. Last night was the first
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: time in seven playoff games the Steelers scored a point
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: in the first quarter, and it was only three and
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: it was the first drive of the game, and that
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: was it. That was pretty much the game. Yeah, that
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: was I could go on and on about how I
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: was physically ill watching that.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: Do you think he would want to walk over? I mean,
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: I hear what you're saying, does he want to stick
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: around for the rebuild that it would maybe need to
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: be happening to get out of this kind of lukewarm
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: where they're at. I mean, how much does Mike Tomlin
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: love Pittsburgh? I mean, how much he's built there, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: does he want to just finish his career as the
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Steelers head coach.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: I don't think he's done coaching, so that's the question.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: I never personally talk to him about this, but I
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: get the impression that he's not done coaching. So the
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: question becomes, does he want to coach a rebuild because
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: that's what needs to happen, especially the most important position
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: in the sport. So that's to me what's up in
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: the air. And I would guess that's what he and
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: Rudy and the Steelers brass are going to be talking
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: about here in the next couple of days. Is his
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: willingness to want to be a part of doing that.
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: A network would hire him tonight to be an analyst.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: He's a very good people person, very good communicator, glib
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: of course knows what he's doing. It came up from
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: his bootstratch type of guy. They hired him twenty some
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: years ago as a defensive assistant with the Minnesota Vikings.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: He was thirty some years old and no one ever
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: heard of him and took over a Super Bowl team
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: and maintain that now again, you're right, it's mediocrity since then,
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: But the difference to me between the Pete Carroll parallel
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: and Mike Tomlin is there's no team in professional sports
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: that has the continuity at ownership and coaching that the
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: Steelers do. So these not these snap decisions that they
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: just don't do that, and that's how they've operated. And
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: for half a century it has worked the six Super
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: Bowl rings, so it just hasn't worked recently.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Well arguably the safest head coaching situation in the NFL.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald had his press conference yesterday on a Monday,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And what stood out to you about his comments yesterday?
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: Well, I really focused a lot of us did asking
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: him questions about how odd it is to play the
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: same team two times in a row. The Seahawks haven't
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: done it since nineteen ninety one with a bye week
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: in between. And I asked them, I somewhat clumsily asked
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: it worded very well, are you going to make a change?
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: Are you going to change game plan and approach just
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: to change because you can't just copy the same thing,
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: because they're going to prepare for that. And he said,
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: there is a a lot of stuff in that forty
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: nine or week eighteen game plan, and we didn't use
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: the way the game went, how they played field position. Once,
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: as he always says, the game presented itself, and he
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: saw that the forty nine ers were not moving the
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: ball against his defense, he started calling it differently on
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: offense and deef. And then we talked about how he
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: went forward on fourth and goal with the Ford the
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: first drive because of how he believed his defense wasn't
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: going to get moved on that game. And so it
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: made me think, oh, that's interesting because harvaugh was going
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: to Harborough. Shanahan's gonna do the same thing. He's got
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: stuff that he didn't use in that game because they
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: fell behind quickly and had to play catchup. And I
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: think the number one thing that they didn't use that
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: they better use more from a forty nine ers. And
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: I would think that the Sea Arks are going to
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: prepare for is Christian McCaffrey in the run game. Now
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: having said that he did not run the ball at
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: all and not for yards against the Philadelphia. It was
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: startling how few running plays they had. I mentioned of
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: the first sixty plays, the forty nine ers ran thirteen
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: of them. Excuse me, it was fifty plays, thirteen of
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: them only thirteen where Christian McCaffrey runs. To me, that
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: has to change. As well. As the Seahawks have played
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: against the run, I think he got to challenge them
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: more than San Francisco challenged him in the run, both
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: in Philadelphia last weekend and in week eighteen. And on
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks side, I'm thinking they're going to push the
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: ball down the field more than they did that game.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Once they saw that. They didn't think the forty nine
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: ers are going to drive on him that night. They
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: just basically if it was soccer, they parked the bus.
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: I mean, they just said, we're just gonna play ropodope
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: and you're not gonna beat us and be thanks to
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: the interception by Drake Thomas at the end, they never
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: came close to score in a touchdown as the closest
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: they got. I don't think, as Mike McDonald said, there's
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: a ninety nine point nine nine nine nine, I think
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: he had four point nine's chance that the game's not
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: going to go the way it did in Santa Clara
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: on Saturday night, and if it doesn't, it means the
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: Seas are gonna have to score more than one touchdown.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: I think they're going to push it down the field
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: against this defensive front that hasn't gotten many sacks and
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: that has problems covering guys down the middle of the field.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean to me, you look at the
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: stats from that Week eighteen game, and I mean it
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: was dominant. And you got to give credit to the
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Mike McDonald and the defense the way in which they
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: just were stifling and didn't let They didn't let anything
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: even when there was a completion. They just were tackling
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: them immediately and made everybody grass tough. But I'm with you,
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: I don't the two to one time of possession. If
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: you can keep Kyle Shanahan's mind off of the field
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: as far as his offense, yeah you're gonna be good.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: And so credit to him for doing that. But I
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: look at the total place. Seattle had sixty seven total
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: plays to forty two for the Niners, and yet you
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: still only won thirteen to three. You only had that
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: one touchdown. So your thing of pushing the ball down
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: the field is the way in which they're gonna do it,
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: even though the recipe of pounding the rock and running
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: almost forty times is what created the dominant win an
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: eight week.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: Eighteen, right buggy, because to me it was a chicken
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: in the egg thing. Did they run because they were
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: successful running or did they run so much because they
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: had to lead the whole game? And I think they
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: ran forty times because they had to lead the whole
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: game and didn't think the forty nine ers were to
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: score on them, and they had the field position advantage
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: the whole game. McDonald talked afterwards how San Francisco was
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: the best team in the league field average start time
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: for their drives, average start position, and they were backed
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: up to their own goal line most of the night
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: because of the run game, and even when the Seahawks punted,
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: they were punting from midfield and pinning them back against
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: their own goal line. The goal in a four on
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: fourth and goal with the four. He went for it
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: because he knew a drive start for the forty nine
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: ers inside their own five was not going to result
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: in points, and as he said, he was taking the
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: belief that if we had did forty nine ers start
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: inside their own five, we were going to get the
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: ball back in a field position to go score again anyway,
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: even though that's why we didn't go for the field
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: goal here because we'd get the field goal on next drive. Enough,
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: the next drive start after that failed fourth and goal
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: of the four the Seahawks start at the nine er
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: thirty five, So there's it would be lightning striking twice
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: at the same point at the same time for the
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: Seahawks to have that kind of game again. No matter
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: how good their defense is, they can't expect to absolutely
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: annihilate and shut down an offense to the point where
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: they are inert and not going to score a touchdown.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: So I can't think And then McDonald said yesterday he
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: knows he can't count on not allowing a touchdown this week.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers played a really good, physical team with
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a very good defense and one and put twenty three
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: points on the board this past weekend. How big of
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a difference are we talking about that just the presence
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: of Trent Williams makes on their offensive line.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: Well, I pushed backed a little bit because I think
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: the Eagles stink. I think the Eagles offense is terrible.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: I think that they run plays that make Jalen Hurts
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: look like a Podesta d quarterback when he's one of
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: the better ones in the league. I think they were
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: really flawed in their game plan against San Francisco. I
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: think aj Brown should catch some passes for the bunny
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: he makes. I think that they were just malfunctioned on
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: offense and it allowed San Francisco to stay in the
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: game long enough to pull it out at the end.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: The Seahawks are a much much better offensive team and
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: threatening a defense that is weak now. Having said that,
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: they only season scored one touchdown the last time they
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: played ten to eleven days ago. But I really when
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: watched that game Sunday, that Eagles played right into what
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: the forty nine ers. Forty nine ers are missing. All
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: these dudes on defense, challenge those guys if they can't
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: pass rush, throw the ball down the field if I
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: run at them. And they were not. The Eagles were
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: not consistent in doing anything. Now they have their own
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: offensive line problems and injuries as well. Trent Williams is
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: a big deal though, and he played that game under
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: what Sayisco reporters said was the risk of further injuring
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: his hamstring. It sounds like he has come out of
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: the game okay at his age hamstrings short week flying
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: back from the East Coast to play again, I'm sure
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: he's not going to be right until almost game time.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: But even a little bit of Trent Williams is better
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: than anybody else. The forty nine ers and most teams
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: have a left tackle, so that does matter. But I
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: don't think the Eagles game was because of Trent Williams.
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: I think it was because the Eagles just ineptitude on offense.
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: Eagles would have lost of most teams that day the
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: way they played offensively.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, ge, i' mean health, whyse you're talking about we
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: were talking about, you know, Trent Williams and what not.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: Health.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: Why is any reports or any any idea on anybody
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: that's hobbled on our side?
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: Well, McDonald was pretty positive about all the hurt guys
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: have been injured reserve and Kobe Bryant, all of them
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: coming back to practice. Chas Surrot could come back to
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: practice a special teams stage, George Hallane Elijah Royo already
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: came back to practice last week off injured reserve, which
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: would mean he's probably gonna be added to the active roster.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: They'll have to take somebody off before the game Saturday,
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: but Arroyo shit looks like he will play for the
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: first time in a month, and we already mentioned Charles
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: Cross last week coming back to practice, it appears he's
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: going to play and start at left tackle. When I
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: ask about Kobe Bryant, he said he thinks Brian's going
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: to play and that would be excuse me practice. He
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: didn't say play, but be able to practice this week,
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: and so he'll be to be determined whether he can
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: play or not. Tyle Cott has been very good for
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: Kobe Bryant, after being very good for Julian Low at
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: both safety spots. But they Kobe Bryant is a very
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: good player and a very good tackler after catches and
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: he's gotten a lot better it actually plays on the
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: ball in intercepting passes recently. They could certainly use him
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: for the rest of the playoffs. But this is what
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: your benefit of having a bye week and not having
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: to play last week. So they are getting healthier. They
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: have some ir designated to return moves they could make
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: to the active roster. They'd have to cut guys to
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: do it, but I would expect a Royo, maybe definitely Cross,
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: a Royal, and maybe Kobe Bryant to play this week.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: All right, last minute or so, as somebody that covered
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: DK Metcalf the Seahawks. I'll bring it full circle to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: talk about DK Metcalf the Steeler. Couple big drops last night.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Obviously missed the last two games of the regular season,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: could have kept his team from making the playoffs because
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: he couldn't control his temper with a fan. Did the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Steelers get a dose of why he was available on
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the trade market this season?
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: Yes, he looked like a lot of Seahawks seasons, didn't
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: he That He tried to catch a pass with his
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: hands crossed last night, that one in Layton first quarter
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: that would have been a twenty five thirty yard game
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: and would have gotten the Steelers in scoring position. His
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: hands were crossed as an axe as the ball arrived.
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: That's a I couldn't believe it. It's like, I don't
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: know how his hands got so how to place there
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: that there's no way you could catch that pass trying
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: to catch it with an axe. And then Rogers didn't
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: throw them until the fourth quarter. Rogers a little enough
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: to know what he's doing by doing that. And I
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: thought to myself, they're paying thirty some million dollars a
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: year for receiver that the quarterback dos will want to
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: throw too. Yeah, that's not good. Now, if when Rogers leaves,
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: and if it is a youth movement and a restart
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: at quarterback, at least Metcalf will have a rookie quarterback
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: or a young quarterback who's never started, who will throw
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: him the ball, you would think. But yeah, that whole thing.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: My Pittsburgh friends in the media, over the Steelers, they
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: are all over me about you didn't I said, yeah,
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: I did tell you. Yeah, I'll tell you about it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: I told you all of this. I told you in
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: September we went back there in Pittsburgh. They came up
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: from the locker room, the Steelers beat writers complaining about
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: how cass wouldn't talk after the Seahawks game. Yeah, I
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: just yeah, yeah, yeah, and get used to that. Yeah,
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: he talked more to fans in the stands this year
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: than he did Pitsburgh. So he's he has not ingratiated
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: himself there and laughing only because we've seen it and
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: covered it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Interesting. All right, Greg, thank you sir, We appreciate We'll
• 20:25

  Speaker 1: fighters battle it out for Cage supremacy live in the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Orca Brawl Room. All attendees of the event must be
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: twenty one or over. It's kind of how I imagine dinner
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: time at the Jacobson's just a big wrestling, you know,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: jiu jitsu cage match, and whoever loses doesn't get any food,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: and whoever wins gets double the amount.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: That's how I imagine thinks. Luckily you are not correct. Oh,
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: then again, I would continue to be drop and wait
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: if that was the case, although my kids would probably start,
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: I could still take Bear and Grace.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: He'd finish second. There's a strong second.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but she would just take even then when I
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: went for what was left over after she took what
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: was mine, she would then choke me out again and
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: give that to the children.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, mother Bear takes over at that point.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't want to play that game. She's far
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: nicer than I would be if I was in her position,
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: as deadly as she is.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Wrong.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, it's not that violent. Yeah, I mean she
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: looks at me like it could be.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: I figured there was a bell that rang and then
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: everyone came into the ring.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Ding yeah, ding. Yeah, So I'm sorry about that. I
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: was completely way off there, Yeah, a little bit off.
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: I don't think you should apologize because I was with you.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Well, it's uh. Yesterday we launched the brand new name
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: of our coaching segment that we do this time of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the year since Black Monday's over all of a sudden,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: all the coaching rumors, and we don't always use a
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: bottom of the hour segment. We just floated around. But
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: there are coaching rumors every day and there's gonna be
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: some for a long time because there are so many
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: vacancies out there eight right now and counting according to
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Adam Schefter. And so you know what we do. I
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: don't like coaching carousel. I think it's dumb. So we
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: just let our listeners pick the name. And we don't
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: even like look for the best name pretty much, just
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the one that stands out like immediately. Yeah, And so
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: a Shark Coacheryboard is what the name of the new
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: segment is this year. And for the latest from the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Shark Coachery Board. Aaron Rodgers last night after he was eliminated,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: contemplating retirement, many people, including Troy Aikman, saying that they
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: think this is Aaron Rodgers walking off the field for
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the last time. Well, and his postgame press conference, if
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: it's his last, he certainly was going to defend his
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: head coach, Mike Tomlin's job status.
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: I mean this, This league has changed a lot my
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: twenty one years. You know, when you hear conversation about
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: the the Mike Tomlins of the world, Matt Lafleur's of
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: the world, those are just two that kind of played
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: for And when I first got in the league, there
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: wouldn't be conversation about whether those guys were on the
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: hot seat, you know. But the way that the league
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: has covered now and the way that there's snap decisions
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: and validity given to the you know, the Twitter experts
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: and all the you know experts on TV now who
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: who you make it seem like they know what the
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: hell they're talking about. To me, that's an absolute joke.
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: And for either of those two guys to be on
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: the hot seat is is really propos of.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Where we're at.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: It's a society and the league because obviously Matt's done
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: a lot of great things in Green Bay and we
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: had a lot of success. Mike T's had more success
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: and damn near anybody in the league you know, from
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: for the last nineteen twenty years. And more than that
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: that when you have the right guy and the culture
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: is right, you don't think about making a change. But
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of pressure that comes from the outside,
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: and obviously that sways decisions from time to time, but
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: it's not how I would do things, and not how
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: the league used.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: To be from being with Mike for season about.
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: Him, I've answered that a number of times. I've talked
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: extensively about how I feel about Mike, and I just
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: didn't have answers.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Wow, a little feisty jumped it up on the salty
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: meter right there. Really, when I listened to it a
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: second time, I I kind of heard it differently. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: think what he is accusing owners of is listening to
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the talking heads too much, what it seems like, because
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: when I first heard it, I'm like, look, I mean,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I still think this comes down to ownership. If you
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: don't like the way things are done, this is to
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you know, to me, like the smoke, where there's smoke,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: there's fire. I mean, all of these things have been
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: true that have been rumored this offseason, like John Harbaugh
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: certainly shouldn't be a fired head coach candidate, and yet
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: we heard that maybe it was going to be time
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: that they moved on, or that he moved on, and
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: it happened. Mike McDaniel, he was supposed to be kept right,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and then he got fired just as the rumors were
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: suggesting all season long. So I don't think that this
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: is I mean, from a talk show standpoint, when the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: rumors start, all we can do is react to the rumors.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think that that's the problem of a talk
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: show host. And if the owners are actually being influenced
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: by talk show hosts, well then it's clearly on the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: owners and the new sort of atmosphere that exists now
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: in professional sports. The NFL doesn't churn and burn nearly
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: as many head coaches as the NHL or the NBA.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, try to find a guy that's been nineteen
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: years on the job in the NHL right now, so
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: they don't do churn and burn nearly as much. But
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: if he's criticizing the culture of owners know so little
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: about football that they listen to Steven A. Smith's opinion
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: and are influenced about that, well yeah, then I think
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you've got yourself a problem right there. But I don't
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: think responding to rumor that's the job of the talk
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: show host. I don't think that's the issue. I think
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: it is the owners getting itchy trigger fingers quicker than
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: what they've ever had before.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think that there's some mean obviously
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: the Steelers, like we were talking to Greg, and the
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: fact that there's been three coaches over the course of
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: our lifetimes there they most certainly are not one with
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: a nick itchy trigger finger. They typically don't, and I
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: don't think that'll be the case here. I think it
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: would be if Mike Commin wants to go the Lafleur situation.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's one of the winningness, if not the
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: winningness coach in the short tenure that he's had, and
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: you've had contending teams. I think that that would be premature.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: I just think that there's there. I don't know if
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: I mean Rogers I think has irritated at a lot
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: of things in the world and the NFL and the
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: way in which it's run these days is you might
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: as well just add that to the list. And rightfully so,
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: he's entitled to his opinion. I just to me, I
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: don't understand. I don't understand the idea of always looking
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: on the other side of the fence to see if
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: the grass is greener. I do understand that sometimes things
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: can get stagnant but it doesn't mean that whatever change
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: you isn't going to be worse than where you were
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: to me football, especially with a a fifty three man
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: roster and then the x's and o's, and if you
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: do well, there's a chance you lose your coordinators and
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: you eventually, if you're doing well over the course of
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: a long time, you end up you can't pay everybody,
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: So you got to get rid of certain players. If
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: you're middling in the middle of the pack, it's like, okay,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: well you're vying for a playoff spot like they got
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: into this year and it's one and done. But you're
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: not going to then draft high, so you don't really
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: get to address the main problems that you have with
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: new young incoming talent. You're going to be, you know,
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: down in the second half of the draft, and so
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: it's a touchy one where I don't know for sure.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: I think you're going to get more trouble if you
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: don't establish or you don't allow continuity, if you don't
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: the culture being in place. We're what witness in it
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: right here. Pete Carroll did it, and he did it well.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: They finally were like, okay, it's enough of this kind
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: of middling in the middle of the pack thing. We
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: need to change something, and they went the perfect route.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: They said, we're going to go with somebody we think
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: can can combat with McVeigh and what Kyle Shanahan doing,
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: we're seeing it play out in real time. There's for
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: every one of those that works out, there's at least
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: one that doesn't work out that way, you know. I
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: think Mike Rabel is a prime example of doing well
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: in Tennessee and then has a couple bad years and
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: so then he gets fired.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: And right now, if you're a Tennessee fan, is also
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: a perfect example of the other The Patriots going to
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: have sat there and just said, Bill Belichick's accomplished all
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: of this and it's unbelievable. And then we moved on
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: from him, and then we hired Mayo and he only
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: gave him one year and did he really get to prove?
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And then you hired Rabel and you're fourteen and three.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, the stagnant aspect of it is what people
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: are trying to avoid. And there are plenty of examples
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: of sure ones that didn't work out. There are plenty
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: of examples of ones that absolutely did I mean there's
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: no better example than right here in Seattle. Pete Carroll's
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a legend. He never had that terrible season. John Schneider
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: makes the difficult decision of replacing him, and it was
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the greatest thing, greatest decision that he's made in ten years.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and had had they kept Pete Carroll to the
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: point where what's going on with Tomlin was happening here
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: where people are chanting at games fire Mike Tomlin, or
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: if they were chanting, I would have been very sad,
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: like that's you shouldn't at that point. Yeah, maybe the
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: relationship has run its course and it's not anyone's fault.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: It's just new, fresh eyes and new you know. And
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: as we talked about earlier, it could be just as
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: much Mike Tomlin's choice to leave as it is. And
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: I don't think the Pittsburgh Steelers could ever be accused
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: of trying to make that decision too quickly Rash, Yeah.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I do believe they're stuck. I think they're
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: stuck in Mediacre. They are stuck, and they're not getting
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: bads to get those high draft picks, and yet they're
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: not advancing in the playoffs any further from year to year.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I think Mike Tomlin's great. If they stuck with Mike
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Tomalin for the rest of his career, fantastic and just
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: weathered the storm. That said, if he's tired of being
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: booed and having his fans chant fire Tomlin every game,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I get that. And if there's a mutual parting of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: ways where both sides can be happier potentially like they
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: decided in Baltimore, maybe it is time for that in Pittsburgh.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: We shall see. Adam Schefter reported this morning we are
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: at eight coaching vacancies and the only gut feel that
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: he has right now about the entire shar coochery board
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: is that there are going to be more that we
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: haven't seen. The last one. I think Sean McDermott's on
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: blast in Buffalo. He doesn't make it to the Super Bowl,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: he loses to the Broncos this weekend. I think he's
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: gone in Buffalo, and there could be a couple of
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: other stories like that, so kind of crazy. This might
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: be the heaviest, mediest, cheesiest shar coachery board that we
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: have ever seen. It's pickled, is what it is.
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Coming up next just how big of a difference does
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: a returning forty nine or make To San Francisco. It's
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Hey, gene Sterritor
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: is gonna join us at the top of the hour.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: He does it every Tuesday to talk about officials. Darn officials.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: Mmmmm.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: I did hear something funny on the show for us.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: They were talking about you know, they talked to Dean Blandino. Yeah,
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: they were talking about how should there be like a
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: term negative term for the refs. And someone said, or
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: like if you're against the refs, if you hate the refs,
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: someone said, resist refist. Yeah, that's always talking about always.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: But then they but I did giggle a little bit
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: at that. But then they said the stripes.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: They're the stripes, Oh, the stripes, And.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: I thought, it doesn't really happen. I don't really, It
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: doesn't mean cave me hate them that much. I just
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: dislike them.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: You know what, we only know gene Sterotor personally. So
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: maybe it's just the teddy bears. Maybe they're just the
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: cuddliest maze they are. Yeah, and we've just misjudged them
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: all this time and have been far too harsh against them.
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: Is that how you feel?
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Let's think about it that way. Okay. I know there's
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: certainly saying that's how I feel.
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was gonna say, Sean what's his name?
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Accy?
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: No is Sean Hocky. There's one ref though that you
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: really don't like. I can't remember who it is.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Now, Oh, Ed, Clay Martin, Clay Martin. That's it.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: I'm just gonna say all the names Ed, any idiots, John, Yeah,
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: claymart all right.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: But the by the way, we have Matt hasselback on
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: tomorrow at eight o'clock, and Dustin Nickerson's going to join
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: us tomorrow at eight thirty as well. We'll see how
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: twisted it or not his gut has gotten this football season.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: He's different, he's a different type. And then he makes
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: funny jokes about it. So that's coming up on tomorrow's program.
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks getting ready to take on the forty nine Ers.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: If you haven't heard, it's gonna be this Saturday, five o'clock.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: They've set the time obviously here in Seattle. Last time
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: the two teams faced, Seahawks dominated a game and yet
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: only one by ten. And then I do think the
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers did kind of. I don't know if
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: they went back to looking as good as they did
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: in week sixteen and seventeen offensively, but certainly better than
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: they looked against Mike McDonald's defense in Week number eighteen.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: They were actually functional in that playoff game and came
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: away with the win. Greg Bell chalked that up to
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: he just doesn't think Philadelphia is all that good when
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: we talked to him at seven oh five. But certainly
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the offense moved the football a lot better than what
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: they did against the Seahawks. And I know they have
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Trent Williams in the lineup, and they didn't have him
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: against the Seahawks in Week number eighteen. I'm certainly not
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: going to chalk it all up to Trent Williams being
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: available or not available, But you know, it's obviously it
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: does make a difference. Can it possibly make that much
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: of a difference to have your starting Pro Bowl left
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: tackle that you can not move the ball at all
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: against one very good, great defense, and then move the
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: ball substantially against another great defense.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: It can It's going to make a difference. Now, how
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: much of a difference? I mean, you needed way more
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: than what one person, you know, one unhealthy person that
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: is now healthy enough to play. I mean that thirteen
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: to three, they weren't one player away. But it does
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: change the course of the way things go. I mean,
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: I was looking at PFF and I don't I don't
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: honor these I don't think their gospel. I don't think
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: that it's one of those things that there's nothing about.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: It is wrong, but it's a data point. He's the
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: second rated tackle by PFF and run blocking. I mean,
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: he's only behind Pennay School. So if the fact that
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: you that Christian McCaffrey couldn't get couldn't get anything going
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: on the ground, I don't know for sure if he's
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: going to have some breakout, some giant game, you know,
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: rush for one hundred and sixty yards or something, just
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: because Trent Williams is there. But I would imagine that
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: there is a play or two that they run behind
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: him and he does what he needs to do, and
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: Christian McCaffrey takes advantage of the block that he gives
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: and so and you know, these teams, while they ended
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: up whooping him and it was dominant, the fact that
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: it's still thirteen and three doesn't even though the spread
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: I think is seven and a half points, it doesn't
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: make me feeld. They were that dominant, and yet you
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: still didn't blow him out of the water by any stretch. Now,
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: did Trent Williams have anything to do with why the
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: Seahawks only had thirteen points?
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: No?
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: Did he have something to do possibly with why they
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: only scored three? Sure? Is he enough to make up
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: for even that ten point gap that there was in that?
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: I do not know. And yet I do think that
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: the game will go down a little bit differently. I
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: think he'll be on the field more. Well, he'll be
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: on the field more, but I think their offense will
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: be on the field more than they were in the
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: last game. And so that just all those extra opportunities
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: where they can use him or use Christian McCaffrey behind him.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: It'll be interesting to see how big of a difference
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: it makes.
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: Well, it's like Mike McDonald said, right, it's gonna be
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: a completely not everybody say ninety nine different game, and
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: it's gonna be different.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I mean, you're just gonna wake up differently.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be a few changes made, and then you're
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: gonna make changes and you hope that the changes that
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: you made don't undo the success that you had the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: previous week. And and you don't want to overthink. You
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: don't want to, you know, overthink the double thing.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was gonna say, you don't want to, Yeah,
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: do to overthink what they're doing. And then the double
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: stamp their triple stamps, and then you're.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Absolutely right, And so the chess game is on. But
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: still that said, I mean, yeah, I don't expect it
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: to be the same game on Saturday night, but man,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: that sure did look like one team was a lot
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: better than the other. And I think that we'll get
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: that again on Saturday Night, even in a different form.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: All Right, Jane Territors. Next, plush your cash word on
• 38:54
