  Speaker 1: Today on Steelers Country Weekly, we look back on the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: steelers painful Thursday night loss in Cincinnati to the Bengals,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: look ahead to the Sunday night matchup against the Green
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers, and talk about some of our most unfortunate records,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: records that you, the record holder, don't want. I'm Nick
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: de Tulo, and as always I'm joined by the world
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: famous accountant Eric Vamon Showden.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Eric, Ho's it going tonight?
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Oh? You know, I'm not too shabby. I'm doing a
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: little bit better than the Steelers did on Thursday. But
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: you know, I've just got over my cold and uh,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm shaking it off. Hopefully the Steelers do too.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: If there is anything that you and I can take
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: away positively from this game on Thursday, it's that one
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of us had predicted that they weren't gonna win that game,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and that person is just so oh, just overcome with
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: intelligence that they saw it when no one else did.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Ye.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: No, we'll leave it at that. I think it's more
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: so I was a bit jaded.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I feel like.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: We see a game like this at least once a year, right,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a game that I know we talked about it at length.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: On paper, we know we're the better team. There's no
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: reason that this other team should beat us. The team
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: has been playing quantifiably horribly the entire season, and then
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: we come out and they look like Super Bowl contenders,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: at least on at least on the offensive side of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the ball. So yeah, I mean, the Steelers lost in
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati thirty three to thirty one. It was a close game.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It was kind of an interesting game too. It started
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: off with the ten oh Steelers lead, and the Steelers
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: actually got a touchdown on the very first drive, which
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: is just shocking to me. It's been I'm sure it's
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: happened in the last year or so, but it's very
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: rare when we see that happen. They started off ten
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to nothing, then the Bengals scored twenty unanswered points. Steelers
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: came back, went back and forth for a while. They
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: took the lead with about two minutes left, and then
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: set up the Bengals for a game winning field goal,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and then the Steelers still had a chance to try
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to win it at the end.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Let's just get right to it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And I don't know that we necessarily need to go
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: quarter by quarter here, but really, the details of this
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: game are. The offense played very well. There were two
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: interceptions that frankly it could have would have been nice
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to not have. But at the same time, it would
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: be nice if the defense was made out of steel,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: like a real steel curtain instead of a paper miche curtain.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: But I guess that's neither here nor there. So offense
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: did pretty well.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: They put up thirty one points defense and no sacks
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: allowed except Broderick Jones had got a sack on Rogers,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: so they.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Gave up one.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And the defense just could not do anything to stop
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the Bengals offense and Joe Flacco. I don't know that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: when Mike Tomlin had his press conference and called out
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Andrew Berry the Browns GM that he was expecting Joe
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Flacco to put up the kind of performance that he did.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I think he just understands and respects.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: That Joe Flacco is a smart quarterback. You have to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: be somewhat intelligent to have been in the league as
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: long as he is. But it's just and he certainly
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: was a step above Jake Browning for sure. I was
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: very mad at this Steelers defense, and I think we
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: talked about it a lot.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: The first couple weeks of the year too.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It's you're the highest paid defense in the league. You
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: cannot be having games like the one they just did.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It's just it's mind boggling to me.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So the big thing was other than I mentioned that
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the offense or the defense couldn't stop the Bengals. Jamar
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Chase was targeted twenty three times and he had sixteen
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: catches for one hundred and sixty one yards. I'd wager
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that at least half of those were slant routes, and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: t Higgins six receptions ninety six yards also slant routes.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And one of those catches was on the Bengals last
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: drive of the game, setting up the game winning field goal.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I think it was maybe a third downplay where Flacco
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: just threw a perfect ball up for Higgins and Ramsey
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: got beat, which allowed the Bengals to eat up a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: lot more clock to get it down to seven seconds
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: when the Steelers got the ball back, and then Chase Brown,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: my guy had the Bengals, who have not run the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: ball at all this year. They are literally the worst
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: rushing team in the league. He had eleven carries for
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: one hundred and eight yards. That's a nine point eight
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: yard average per carry.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they said that his their longest run the
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: year was thirteen coming into the game, he had a
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: twenty seven yard or yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Like, so I'll let you take over here because I'm
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: sure you've got things to say to what's going through
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: your mind when you think back to this Thursday night game.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I sent you.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: At one point there was a picture that tells, you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I forget what the quantity is.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: A thousand words, a million words, I don't know.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Uh, it's just a picture of the scoreboard this which
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: has us winning by one under two minutes and Jamar
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Chase with nobody within a ten yard frame of him. Yep,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: what the guys had twenty maybe at that point twenty
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: one twenty two targets on the game, The fact that
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: there was no defensive adjustments to look like we're getting
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: gashed by you mentioned ten yards to carry, make Chase
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Brown beat us, don't let Joe Flacco continue to pick
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: us apartment with him, double triple him, like, don't have
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: a safety deep, I don't care, just like, just throw
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: up the house at their two guys and the rest
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: will figure it out.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: But there was no adjustment.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: And the fact that that was our game plan was
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: just give up everything, and I mean everything running passing
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: four hundred and seventy yards. You want to hear something
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: that's kind of depressing, is I believe this is the
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: most yards that we've gained as an offense.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: On the year three hundred and ninety six.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: We went three or seven of ten on third down conversions.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: We average seven point four yards a run, and we
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: lost this game. So and your team scored thirty one points.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is a get your head out of
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: your butt moment. And you know we I told you,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: I think it's time that you know, I don't like
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: in season head coach changes, but I think it's time
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: to turn over the you know, see what's going on
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: with defensive coordinator because.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's been like kind of a.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: It's been an enigma to me what the decordinator situation
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: has been in Pittsburgh ever since Dick Leboland. I feel
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: like we're always kind of like we have the talent
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: on the team, but they never quite amounted to it.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Is it a Kevin Butler issue? Is it a Terrell
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Austin issue?
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Is it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Gosh, I'm trying to remember even any of our other coordinators.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: But no, I think that they got to do something
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: about it because I think that the offense has made
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: the adjustments of we continue to get better each week
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: on offense, and the reason why we're losing games is
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: because of the defense.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: And it was very much on display on Thursday night.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: So after the first quarter, would you care to guess
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: how many drives the Steelers stopped the Bengals, I imagine zero.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: One one time, and that was the possession before the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Steelers took the lead on the Jesse James pass, a
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: big touchdown. I mean, if you're gonna be critical of
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the offense, yeah, the two turnovers were a problem, but
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: like I said, it would have been nice if the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: defense could do something to stop them. I'm pretty sure
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: they got a touchdown off the first one and then
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a field goal off of the second one. The second
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: one the Bengals did like a two minute drill because
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it was intercepted like at two minutes twelve seconds or
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: And remind me, there was the interception along the sidelines yep,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: which I'm not sure if it was or was not
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: an interception, But then what was the other one.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I think that was just on a deep ball pass
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to DK.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, which I will say, like maybe not the best
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: ball that Aaron Rogers threw. There was two guys obviously
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: in the frame for that one on DK, but Decay
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: did not fight for that ball at all.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: No, which you know we got d K. We knew
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: that this was some of the baggage.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: We got more expensive version of George Pickens, which close
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: your eyes, uh, Steelers fans if you watched the Cowboys
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: game on Sunday, because he.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Looked phenomenal in that game. But no, I think that
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: it's just difficult because.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: We have all the star power, we have all these
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: bloated contracts, but.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I just don't see any impact. T J.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Watt was invisible, yes, and Cam, Yeah.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Cam was too, Patrick Queen Jalen Ramsey there.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I do think that it was offensive.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Pass interference where Jamar Chase pushed off with him, but
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: he was also playing hands on him too down the field. Yeah,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: which probably was the case of why they well they
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: ended up calling a defensive pass interference but which I
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: totally disagree with that call. But still he had a
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: bad game too, So really it just came down to
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: the Bengals could sign a guy not off his couch
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: but on someone else's couch, and he can win the
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: game in ten days, and we can't line up our
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: stars and win.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: A football game. So it looked like crap doing it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And before I forget you mentioned Patrick Queen again and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Jamar Chase on that play that you're referencing where that
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: he was wide open and got a big first down.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I think that was on the last drive of the game. Well,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the Bengals last drive of the game. They broke it
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: down on the on the broadcast, and I don't know
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: if this is worse than just like being burned badly
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: or a bad scheme, but it was just confusion on
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the defense. They didn't know what was going on. They
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: got thrown off by emotion. And that's how Jamar. That
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: is how Jamar Chase got that wide open. And if
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you don't have your mind right in that situation of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the game where you know we've got a one point lead,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: we have to stop them. They can't even get a
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: field goal here, then I don't really know what to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: tell you.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, maybe they didn't just determine to go
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: double team Chase because they're playing zone.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: But you know what, if.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Your communication ship you play man because literally when you
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: line up pre snap, that's who the hell are you're
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: gonna cover.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: It is not complicated, Zoe.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: I can understand you can be more complicated, but seriously,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: it's it's not that hard.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: No, and especially he's been playing in like playing football
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: for twenty twenty five years.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: No, and like you've you've alluded to, it's just the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: constant breakdowns and the constant big plays. And I said
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: at the beginning, you cannot be the highest paid defense
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and get roasted like that, and not that anyone on
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the team is asked for it, but you're not gonna
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: get sympathy either, Like yeah, and you're.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Not saying you're the number one paid defense. You need
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: to be the number one defense. You need to not
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: be bottom ten, right, Well, that's what our defense is
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Bottom.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And they said it on the broadcast too, and I don't,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you know, take it with a grain of salt. But
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: supposedly Mike Tomlin brought you know, Jalen Ramsey and Darius
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Slay those guys in specifically for this game. And I'm like,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: if that's true, then I'll get on the Mike Tomlin
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: fire Mike Tomlin bandwagon right now.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I love the guy.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Our Mike Tomlin Special from ten years ago is still
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: probably some of our best work.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: But seriously, though, if.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: If you bring them in for this game, or let's
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: just say games like this, where you know you're going
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: up against arguably if the best receiving group in the league,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: if not just accepted as the best with or without
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, if that's your goal, and that's the performance
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: that you put up with a I think healthy defensive
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: roster to know less, Yeah, then what.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: The what are we doing?
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Like? Yeah, you want to you want to hear about
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: a good team.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: The Lions had every single one of their five starters
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: out of their secondary and held Baker Mayfield to nine
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: points on Monday night.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what a good coach does.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And I bet you that Aiden Hutchinson stepped up. I
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: haven't looked at the stats, but I'm going to assume
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that he was a big presence, right.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, watch I watched a little bit of it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean we'll just assume.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Honestly, a lot of it was the secondary.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: A bunch of guys like you've heard some of their names,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: like rock Ya Sin or whatever, guys that have been
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: floating Arthur Mallett, former Steeler.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Uh, these are guys that like.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Were nickel and dime quarters not literally their currency, but
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: they're but making nichols or dimes on the dollar of
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: what our offense or defensive players are making and still
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: playing better than them. So I mean, look, not to
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: belabor it too much, it's just seriously, this is a
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: get your head out of your butt moment.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Like if they.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Don't respond to this game, I don't know what does
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: it for you? How do you get up and play
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: on Sundays?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: And that's that's the thing that I just don't get either.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: And again we can talk about the offense. They're not perfect,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: but again they put up thirty one points and it
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: should go without I mean, we probably need to mention
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: it too. They got the ball back with seven seconds.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: They did a probably just like a quick out route
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to gain a couple of yards, and then Aaron Rodgers,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: forty one year old Aaron Rodgers threw the ball almost
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: seventy yard guards in the air just and they still
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: had a chance to get it. And it's always a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: crapshoot when you're doing a Hail Mary.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: And maybe if.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: It was possible that the Steelers could have still caught
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that ball. It wasn't a bad pass. It was into
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the middle of the crowd. So the fact that even
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: despite all that, the Steelers still had a chance to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: get to get the win here and they couldn't do it.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: You know, the only thing that I was I was
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: going to say, this's a while ago. If you really
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: want to nitpick, and it's not something I want to do.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I'm saying this more so out of sarcasm because I
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: saw someone seriously suggest this on the internet. They said
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Friarmuth should have gone down on the on the on
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the touchdown pass at the end because how many how.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Many minutes were left when that happened. What was the time?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: So he scored with two minutes and twenty one seconds left. Now,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many timeouts the Bengals had at
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: that point, but I think two minutes and twenty one
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: seconds is a little bit too. I think you got
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to just keep the points when you got them there,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: don't take them off the board. Yeah, it'd be one
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: thing if we were it'd be one thing if we
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: were lose it or able to kick a field goal
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to take the lead there.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: But when you need a touchdown to I'm yeah, that's
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: what I do not advocate for.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Just Pat Fryermuth going down in that situation, get in
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the end zone.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, the reality of it is.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: The new kickoff rules, Yeah, it's you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Can't really give up these Like.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: It's very easy to give up a field goal at
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: the end of the game and lose it. Right if
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: you start at the thirty five yard line, which is
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: I feel like the average anymore. With the new kickoff rolls,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: yeah you have and the way that kickers kick anymore,
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: all you need to do is get to the forty
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: and your kicker has a real shot at kicking it.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: So you're talking about twenty five yards.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: That's one pass, yeah, one pass, and all of a
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: sudden you're.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: You're doing I mean, I'm not trying to be a
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: back in my day, but like it used to be,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: like on a touchback, it get it at the twenty
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: maybe twenty five yard line, and you know those extra
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: ten or fifteen yards.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: That you gotta crawl.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: For that you gotta like get it takes a lot
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: more strategic deployment to get up the field, and so yeah,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: you do kind of play for that win. But at
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: the same time, I feel like we're talking or in
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: macro problems of the team, which is our defense is
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: a leaky bucket right now, and you know you mentioned it.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Offense isn't exempt with the turnovers, but and there could
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: be some.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Is DKA really going full speed on all of this place?
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know, But for.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: The most part they're doing well. Boswell is still being
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: an all pro. God love Boswell. It's just amazing.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: So we just need.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: To start shaking some shoulders on the other side of
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: the ball and figure out what the heck's wrong.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Well, time is just a flat circle, as the joke says.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Are Kyrie Irvic.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, the Steelers do lose this game, and they sit
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: at four and two, which you'll recall they sat at
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: last year too.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: So for all of the.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: About this, they play the Jets this week, the goddamn Jets.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Who plays the Jets at the Bengals.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's so if the Bengals, right, and all.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, all I was saying is and I was
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: going to get to where you're going, was, It's just
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: maddening to me that the organization makes these big sweeping changes.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: They don't make the changes on the coaching staff. I
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: think they.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Needed to make that you referenced earlier.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: But they get all these players.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: They I think they could be six and oh right
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: now without that boneheaded blunder against the Seahawks. And I'm
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: not going to beat a dead horse on the Bengals anymore.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: But I think it's a stretch. We lost by two scores,
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: But yes, I agree with you. Ch at least tangled
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: this one, and we could have been more in the
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: game against Teahawks.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, and so where I was going to meet you
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: halfway on two was we quite literally talked about that
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: last week. You have a golden opportunity to get a
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: massive lead on the division. Certainly not put it away
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: just yet, but you got to get the wins where
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you can, and a win against a division opponent with
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a quarterback who's been with the team for maybe a
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: full calendar week, those are the things you have to do.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: If they do that, the Steelers are sitting at four
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: or five and one and the Bengals are at what
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: two and five? And then you've got the rest of
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the division, the Ravens and the Browns down there below them.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: It's just it's maddening when everything should be falling into
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: place and then some stupid shit happens and here we are.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, like you said.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Well if if the Bengals, we talked about the Bengals
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: in a need to win situation, they got the good win.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: They've got a competent quarterback. Whether he's elite or not
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: is a debate that's been going on for like thirteen
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: years now. But again, they made this comment on the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: broadcast too. He's in heaven right now getting to throw
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: to Jamar Chase and T Higgins. He is Joe Flacco
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: has never had those kind of receivers on any of
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: his teams, that a combination like that, so if you
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: just have a compat But it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Was like the Ravens had never drafted.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Like a Pro Bowl maybe as a first rounder, but
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: like a Pro Bowl wide receiver.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like had never tracked.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: And it's like, i mean all those years, you're like, well,
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: but they had Steve Smith and you're like, oh he
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: came from Carolina. Yeah, Like they had all these good pickups,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: but they were not drafted.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: I think that, like Joe Flacco never really had wide
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: receiver room.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: No, all we had was Steve Smith, right, yeah, oh
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: my gosh. So all right, let's just leave Cincinnati. Uh,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: we know, we know what happened, Bengal. Well you did
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: once before, you can do it again. Bengals win thirty
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: three thirty one. The Steelers are still in first place
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: in the division. However, they are playing a Sunday night
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: game against the Packers next. The Packers are an interesting team,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I'll say anyway. They have shown signs this year both
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: that they are one of the better teams in the
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: league and then they go out and lose to the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns and tie the Dallas Cowboys. So they're sitting
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: at four to one and one. Now they are coming
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: into Pittsburgh. It is a primetime game. I've got to
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: imagine that Aaron Rodgers would love nothing more than to
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: beat the Packers at home. But after what we saw
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: this past week, I'm glad they have the mini bye
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: with the last game being on a Thursday, to try
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: to fix their problems. But I am just gonna say it,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I've been very happy with the Steelers offensive line. The
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: last two games, they've given up zero sacks. And again
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I made a joke that Broderick Jones sacked Rogers that was.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: So pissed and I understand that.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I do too.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: It's kind of odd, like there's a lot of different
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: celebrations you can do with your quarterback. That's probably not
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: one of them. But frankly, so, I'm not so concerned
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: about Micah Parsons. I'm not trying to downplay him. I
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: just after the performance we've seen from the line in
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the last two games, I don't think that's gonna be
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the big focal point for me. My big thing is
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: just can we win the turnover battle? And is the
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: defense going to show up? I think that's really as
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: simple as it is for me. But I'll turn it
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: over to you. What are some of your keys for
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: this Sunday night matchup? We get to look forward to.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Well, the Packers played the Bengals and they want.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: It's true I brob a correct barometer.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: No, I actually do think this is a So I
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: was just curious. I asked chat GPT the Steelers would
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: at least against the spread, and they said, Tomlin Thrives is.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: At home underdog.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: I'm very curious as like, we're three and a half
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: point underdog against a team that, like as you mentioned,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: has been uneven and they're coming to us. So on
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: a neutral site, this would be a six and a half,
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: we'd be a six and a half dog. So I
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: don't know between that and the chip on Aaron rodgers shoulder,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: I see a three hundred yard performance out of Rogers,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: I see, you know what, I'm just gonna say that,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: I don't care.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is gonna explode his head off.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: He's throw the ball over the place and he doesn't
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: even care if it's the cowboy out there.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: He breaks his fingers off trying to catch that ball.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: He's gonna be rivaling this this team to victory.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: So there we go, Aaron Rodgers.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: So you you're going with just Aaron Rodgers is gonna
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: light everything on fire and that's gonna.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Be the key to victory.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be what is it going to be
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: like a fifty seven to fifty five win?
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Then yeah, the bottom of the just yeah, it's a
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: it's a flag football game, seven on seven passing skeleton.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Good grief, I mean, it is the last game before Halloween, so.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: You might be onto something there.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, I mean, I really, I don't know how
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: else to put it here.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I think that.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: With the Packers inconsistency and with how the Steelers offensive
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: line has been playing, I would like to think that
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the Steelers.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Should win this one.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not going to say handedly, but I don't
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: think this should be like a one or a two
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: point win.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I think they.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Should win, should win by a touchdown. I just cannot, for.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: The life of me, trust the defense right now.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: It's just so maddening to me. Maybe I'm too angry.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm too caught up in the numbers. You can
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: tell me if that's the case, mister Countant. But I'm
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: really hung up on that. I'm really hung up on
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: that highest paid defense and the performance that we're getting.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: That's just that it's the highest paid part which is
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: really grinding my gears.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: If we have the soundboard that would be one of
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: our soundbits.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, will inject the accent into it too, or the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: brogue as we learned a couple of weeks ago. But
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's that combined with like the cam Hayward
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: off season like hold in or whatever we want to
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: call it, demanding more money to and then putting in
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: this kind of performance and then not that TJ. Watt
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: was dramatic about it like Cam Hayward was, but giving
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: TJ a big extension, and it's like, bro, where have
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: you been? So look, I I I just can't pick
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: the Steelers to win this one.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: In the past, when we've experienced this and again we
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: usually go through this at least once a year, it's
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: never like they lose a bad game and it's like, Okay,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: well they're going to learn their lesson, They're going to
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: write the ship.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: This is a good teaching moment for them.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: It's no, they really have to hit rock bottom and
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: then we end up sneaking out some wins. So I'm
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at this one. I'm gonna give the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Packers a win.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I think keep it close.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, let's see, the last one was thirty
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: three to thirty one. I'll say thirty one to twenty
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: seven in favor of Green Bay.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Okay, I think I might keep your points for the Packers,
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: but I'm gonna go thirty five thirty one Steelers. I
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: have a real good feeling about Aaron Rodgers, and I'd
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: like to address the whole defense thing.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why they're giving up, you know, over thirty points,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: which is dog poop in this league.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: But you know what, when it comes to Aaron Rodgers,
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: he would love nothing more than to tell that franchise
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: and to tell that quarterback that replaced.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Him, I'm better than you and I know it.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: And whether that was the right decision or not, yeah,
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: it doesn't matter to Aaron Rodgers. All that matters is
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: in his two temples. That's what thinks. That's what he thinks.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: That's so, that's what thinks.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: So I'm I don't know, I'm riding the whole Aaron
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Rodgers confidence is gonna magic carpet riders.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: That Aaron Rodgers.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: There's no there is.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: No facts or basis in My decision is purely intuition.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: There you go, all right, we'll just leave it at that.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Eric is once again mist optimistic thinking that the Steelers
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: are gonna win. I'm mister pessimist. I'm the one who's
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: based in reality. Over here, we'll see which one of
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: us is right. But again, one of us tried to
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: temper expectations last week.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: So on a funny but somewhat related note.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: So, the Giants have folded.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: So bad in two games this year, so someone said
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: that they should have been a five and two team
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: if they didn't fold. Their correct line was a half
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: eaten Deli Sandwich could coach better than the defensive coordinator
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: for the Giants. And I don't know if you saw
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: the Giants score against the Broncos.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Did you see that? No?
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: What was the final score?
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: So the final score was like.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Thirty three to thirty two, but the Giants were up
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: like thirty points or thirty like the thirty two points.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: They gave up thirty three fourth quarter points just which
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: it matters to us because the Broncos keep winning it
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: affects our playoff seeding.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: But I just could not believe.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Thirty three points from the bow Knicks led offense.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: That at least were not the Giants.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but there's like thirty other teams that can
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: say that too, or twenty nine.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: At least they're not the Jets, right.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I was gonna say one of the other teams might,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: depending on the day, be the Jets. Their owner Woody
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Johnson just threw Justin Fields under the bus hard today.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: It was I could not believe if he said that
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: when he's one of them.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: I saw that he did.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm paraphrasing here, but he was defending the coach,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn, and he basically said, any team with quarterback
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: performance like this would have that record or something like
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: that with a quarterback.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Rating this low.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: It was he It was very clearly a shot at
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields, which, first of all, you signed the guy.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Second of all, you're one of the worst owners in the.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: League, so don't what are you doing?
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Who's gonna want to come and play for you?
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, a lot of people probably would
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: have with the right money, but still they wouldn't be
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: happy about it.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Darn it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: I'll take your checks, but I'm not happy, right. I mean,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Jets would be irrelevant if they were not in New York.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: But okay, Well, one of the fun topics that you
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: discussed with me earlier was records that you do not
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: want to have. So I'll let you kind of take
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the lead on this for how we decided on this
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and the record that came up that gave you this idea.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well what gave me the idea? I looked.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: What stoked the idea was the Steelers have gone fifty
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: six consecutive games with scoring seven or fewer points in
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: the first quarter, which is the longest tenure or any
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: head coach on team head coach in NFL history. So
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: that means that we've never put ten points on the
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: board in the first rame is since the twenty two season.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: So what made me.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Think of my when I thought I would submit for my.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Fun topic answer, I found out is not truly.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: A record, So.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: I'll mention that, and then I'll mention the record that
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: I did land on that was related.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: So what I thought about was the Nathan Peterman.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: I'll do quotes record where he threw five interceptions and won.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: I think it was half a football and called one time.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: I believe it's called the worst football performance in history.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Fun fact, I got to see Nathan Pierman beat Deshaun
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Watson in the Clemson Pitts game, the one that Clemson
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: ended up winning the national champion.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: So that's not my submission though.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: My submission is when I was looking into this, I
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: was like, well, I'm curious about interceptions. Who does own
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: the interception record? So the single season interception record forty
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: two by George Blanda in nineteen sixty two.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Do you know who number two is? Who? And I
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: guesses Big Ben? Now?
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Darn it?
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, so, I remember that Pick Manning's rookie year
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: was pretty bad and he had twenty eight interceptions?
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Was that it?
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: But when you could compare the second on the list
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: to the first on the list and they did fifty
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: percent more interceptions, that's.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: And there was probably less games back then.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: There was less games, and it was more run based.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: It wasn't as anywhere near as pass happy as it
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: is now too.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so forty two, let's just say it was over
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: a fourteen game season.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Three games.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I would like to formally apologize to Ben Roethlisberger for
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: guessing you. I thought that there was some sort of
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Steelers connection here, and that's why Eric was asking me
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: and putting me on the spot.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: I don't say I baited you.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: You did not bait me.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: You just llulled me into a false sense of security. No, So, anyway,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: that's interesting.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: You know, looking.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: At sports, I had to look up a list here
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: and I found one that I think is actually pretty
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: interesting too. A lot of people would probably go with
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: something like most strikeouts or most interceptions, and I think
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: that the record holders for both of those are Reggie
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Jackson and Brett Farr, respectively. But the flip side to
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: that is you threw a lot of interceptions, but it
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: means you had a really long career too, right, Because
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: if you go out and I know a little bit
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: about George Bland, I'm going to assume that was toward
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: the tail end of his career. But if you go
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: out and throw fifty interceptions your rookie season, you're probably
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: one I'm not really sure how you make it through
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: the whole season, especially in this NFL today, But two,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: it's probably more so with the record holders. It's you
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: have a couple bad seasons here or there, and just
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: due to the longevity of your career, that's that's why
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: you hold that record. So I've softened from that stance
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit, although I'm sure that if you asked
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Brett Farv he probably wishes he could get some of
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: those picks back too.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: I thought, which ones, right?
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: This is kind of interesting, though, so I pulled up
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: the list. There actually was a goalie for the Winnipeg
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Jets in nineteen eighty one. I don't know how to
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: say his name, and I'm not a hockey fan, but
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Doug Satrt he gave up fifteen goals in a single game.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: That's pretty rough.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Do they don't have any other goalies in there?
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Well? And the funny part is hockey is one of
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: those weird sports.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: This is what I do like about it.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Where you have your goalie, a got your backup, and
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: then there's an emergency goalie that they just pulled from
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: the stands if for and you can play for either
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: team that has the injuries.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: So they did.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Is that real?
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, like some insurance salesman got pulled in to be
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: the goalie for a game or for part of a
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: game a couple of years ago.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: I'm not did he have any hockey experience or Yeah.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: He played for a rec team, so he did have
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: some experience. It wasn't like they pulled some twelve year
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: old kid off off the bleachers, which would which would
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: be funnier, but even that kid might not give up
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: fifteen goals in a single game. Holy cow, You just
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: you just got to sit there and take up space
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: and again, I know there's more art to it than that,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: but if the goal is to just not give up fifteen,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I think the the bar is pretty low.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: That's a rough one.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: Break our NHL hockey two thousand and five.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Games.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well the goal and that was just a fight
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: that wasn't to do uh, it wasn't to do anything else.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Let's see here there was one I wanted to pull up.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just seeing if there's any others that was that
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: were interesting. I will in line with your interception one.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: I did not know this.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Dante Culpeper has the most turnovers in one season, and so.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: It looks like he.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Had no no, no, he's got the most turnovers. Well, okay,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: most turnovers.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: Not.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: He's got forty turnovers in a single year. So I yeah,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: interceptions all count as one turnover. But just interesting that
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: he had a combination of between fumbles and interceptions of forty.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Let's see Robbie Thompson for this, which.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: Is interesting because Colpiper was known as a good quarterback.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: This was in two thousand and two. I don't know
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: at what point of his career that was, but I
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: think that was pretty early on, right.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Probably. Yeah, let's see I'm trying to think who.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Were the quarterback? Like who was the quarterback when like
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: Moss was a room Not sure like Randall cunning game
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: or something.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: That's actually a good suggestion. I think it might have been.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Let's see here, Robbie Thompson for the Giants got caught
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: stealing four times in a single game.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: That means he made it on base four times.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Only to be thrown out. John Kitten I had six
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: consecutive games with a fumble. Well, that's the one I
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: was talking about that I thought would be frustrating. Was
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: interesting because of who it was. Joe Torre has the
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: record for the most double plays hit into in one
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: game with four.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: I just.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Kind of like a coach has a record as a player.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: And well, speaking of coaches, Dusty Baker the former Reds
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: and other manager for several other teams. But I say
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: this because of the Reds. This is the weirdest record
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: or stat if you want to call it, that he got.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: He is credited with inventing the high five.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, I don't.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: I think it was when no one did it pracked,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm telling you.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: If you go to his.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: Wick sixty year tenure.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: It was when he was playing Still, I'm gonna pull
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: it up here, Dusty.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: Baker, I have it.
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: On No.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: One High five.
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: When Henry Ford made the autumn a veil, they didn't
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: high five.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: They let's see here.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: It is believed that it is believed that Baker played
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: an integral part in the first ever high five, which
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: occurred between Baker and Dodgers teammate Glenn Burke on October second,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven, at Dodgers Stadium. A story featured a
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: story featured in the ESPN thirty for thirty documentary The
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: High Five.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: No way, they did a documentary.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Oh my goodness. So that's just trying to
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: tell me.
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: The high five is neither fifty years old apparently not.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Blood mind is blonde? All right?
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: So I told you that I had an entry seven.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: I was negative thirteen years old, so.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: That the high five predates you by only thirteen.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, my dad was out of high school.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Well now you've got Now you've got a new conversation
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: starter the next time you're visiting your parents. Yeah, did
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: you guys really not high five?
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Did you ever hire five? Anymore? In school?
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: With no context either're just.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Asking, oh my gosh, so high fives. Aside, the interesting
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: stat or record that I was going to give you
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: was a little bit of a history one, because I
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: know he liked to inject some culture and some knowledge
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: here occasionally when we're not being idiot with our brogues.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: And our accounting and numbers and all that.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: So uh, I always I thought this was interesting. I
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: learned it maybe a year or two ago. In the
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Revolutionary War the United the Americans won the Battle of
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Yorktown and British General corn Wallace was supposed to surrender,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: but he called in sick, so he didn't make the
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: surrender himself. He sent his second in command, who was
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: a lieutenant. I believe he was a lieutenant. His name
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: was Charles O'Hara. So kind of funny that boe, I's
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: supposed to surrender, but I called in sick to start with.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: But he sends it.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: He sends in this second in command to do the
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: surrender for formalities whatever, and it's fine.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: But this O'Hara guy has the.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Distinct record of being the only person to surrender to
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: both George Washington and Napoleon because several years later, yeah,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: several years later, he surrendered to Napoleon during the French
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Revolutionary Wars.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: That's like losing to the Chiefs and the tom Brady Patriots.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: You know, there is no shame in that. I would
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: agree with you.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: It's just funny that he's got the distinction, at least
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: that we know of, of the only person to surrender
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: to those two. So, my gosh, and I just love
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: maybe we should do that with work some days, just
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: some days we have like a big presentation we don't
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: want to do, and I'm gonna call off.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: Let's uh, I'm sick. Let's just have the unpaid intern
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: and do it.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: All right, now that we've gone through our history lesson,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: was there anything else you wanted to talk about before
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: we signed.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Off for the week?
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: Aaron, make it happen.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, the guy can only do so much. What
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: else do you want him to do?
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: I want'm to throw five touchdowns?
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, four is not good enough.
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: We need five, right, I put out the I'll put
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: it out there in the airwaves that he needs the offense.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Thirty five points and he's gonna do it for me.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: You know, not to keep us longer since I already
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: started the wrap up. But did you see Mike Tomlin's
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: comments about the field. No? Oh my goodness, So someone
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: asked him about the playing conditions and he just totally
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: brushed him off and said, that's not my job. I
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: don't cut my own grass. I don't even know the
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: name of the.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Guy who cuts my grass.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I'm like, geez on, man, I know you want to
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: focus on the game and all, but it's okay to
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: like be to comment like, yeah, I hope the field
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: conditions are a little better than the last time, but
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: not really my thing. But no, just I don't even
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: know who cuts my grass.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Hey, it doesn't even know Charlie. It helps manicure.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: His lone, and Charlie's gonna be really upset about that too. Yeah,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: been working hard for years now. I don't even know
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: your name. All right, I think that does it for us.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: We've talked about quite a bit tonight, including grass cutting,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: the High five, and the Revolutionary War, among some actual
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Steelers information sprinkled in there. So hopefully Eric is right.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Hopefully Aaron Rodgers throws five touchdowns and a Steelers win
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: and we are in a much better mood next week,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: so for the world famous accountants Eric van Benschoten I Petulio.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: And this has been another episode of the GameHouse dot
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: COM's Steelers Country Weekly
