  Speaker 4: We've got plenty of ball to dissect for you today
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: and figure out why watching this week felt like watching
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: mountain men fuck each other. But first, Pat, tell me
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: what you're drinking today. Are we switching up from last week? Yeah,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: I'm on the hard liquor. Thank God. I'm on the bourbon.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to say something, but I think it
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: was kind of our fault.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of compliments about the episode last week.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: A lot of people saying it was the best one yet.
• 1:33

  Speaker 4: But at what cost, Pat? At what cost?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I'm staring at the Benjamin right now. Just ready to
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: take it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: I left mine downstairs. I don't even want to look
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: at it. I need to focus up. We need to
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: dial in. The whole team needs to focus up, Pat.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: And me and you were included in that. I'm not
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: letting them go down without a fight. I listened to
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: your Pat's pump-up speech four times during the game last week.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Four times. I was fighting.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: We were doing our job, McG. I was at the bar.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I was at this bar.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Nothing but game day specials at this bar. Let me
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: find the fucking name of it so I can give
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it a little shout-out. But it was 50 Cent Wings.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: 50 Cent Wings.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: $ 2. 50 Miller Lights. They had a shot wheel. It was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: just a great game. They had bottomless mimosas before the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: game so you can get all tuned up before the game.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I was locking in. I was doing my job. I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: was scaring the regulars.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I wish you could think of the names so you
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: could recommend our listeners on where they should go.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking it up right now.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Just keep talking. This is live radio, folks.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: One of those weeks where it's tough to even Fucking
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: sit down and think about the game, Pat. It almost
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: makes me want to do this show on Wednesday night
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: or Thursday night or Friday night or Saturday night or
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: we just skip a week. I'm down in the fucking dumps.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: While you're thinking of that, we kick it to ourselves
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: for the game recap. Oh, holy hell. I don't want
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: to relive this game like one bit. Even reading back
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: this play-by-play makes me want to puke. What? Let's have
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: a drink. Let's do it together. Steelers start out with
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: the ball right as the rain begins to fall in
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: New England. Second first drive of the year for the Steelers.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Second time they start with a three and out. Their
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: first of five three and outs today. Patriots get the
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: ball in their first try and Ramondre Stevenson picks back
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: up where he left off last year, fumbling the ball
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: into the hands of Peyton Wilson. Steelers get the ball back.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: This time, For the Steelers, instead of run, run, pass, punt,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: they go run, incomplete, incomplete, punt. Their second three and
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: out of the day. Patriots get the ball at midfield.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: And instead of this drive ending in a three and out,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: which it should have, a phantom offsides call and negates
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: a third down sack. And two plays later, Travion Henderson
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: busts up the middle for the 39-yard touchdown score. Steelers 0,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Patriots 7. Steelers get the ball back and gain two
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: first downs on this drive.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Wow!
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Before stuttering out and leaving it up to Boswell to
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: hammer one home, Boswell's kick is up and no good.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: We can't even get three points off of Boswell's toe.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Patriots take the good field position off of the missed kick,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: turn it into a field goal themselves. This one good
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: from 30 yards out. This possession contains the only five
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: plays that New England ran in the red zone all game.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Steelers 0, Patriots 10. Steelers showing a little life on
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: this drive before Rodgers becomes the cheese on a smash burger,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: gets paddied between two D-linemen, fumbles the ball. We were
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: knocking on the end zone, and now it's fourth and
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: 43 at our own 42. Out of field goal range,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: we punt. Patriots punt. Steelers punt again. Patriots punt. Steelers
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: run the quick game right before half, two-minute drill, and
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: gets Boswell to connect from 56 yards We go into halftime,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Steelers 3, Patriots 10. Steelers defense out on the field
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: first after halftime, and Drake May drops one into the
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: belly of Patrick Queen, his first interception as a Steeler.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Steelers punt again. Patriots drive down the field and miss
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: a field goal. They are doing everything they can to
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: keep the Steelers in this game. Steelers, third, three and
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: out of the day. Little to go left in the
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: third quarter now, after the snoozefest drive so far this
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: second half. But Drake May on the opening play connects
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: to Romeo Dobbs for 63 yards. Biggest play of the afternoon.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Steelers defense holds after that, but New England is able
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: to kick another field goal and add three more points.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Steelers 3, Patriots 13. Start of the fourth quarter, and
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: you're wondering if Rodgers has any magic in him for
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: the finish here. Well, don't wonder much longer. An offensive
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: holding negates a big DK catch, and the very next play,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Rodgers gets strip-sacked, scooped, Score for New England, and this
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: game is all but over. It's Steelers 3, Patriots 20.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Steelers go 3-and-out two more times in this fourth quarter.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Rodgers throws a fourth-quarter interception. Those are the four fourth-quarter possessions.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: It was strip sack touchdown, 3-and-out, interception, 3-and-out. Final score,
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Steelers 3, Patriots 20. Steelers 3, New England Patriots 20
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: from Foxborough. Lot of bad out there, Pat. Lot of bad.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I kind of want to start talking about a little
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: bit of the good so that we can get that
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: out of the way and then focus on the bad.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: What do you think?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Hold on. I have an idea.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I'm calling Antonio Frankucci. Can you hear that live on
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: tarps off? No. You don't hear that ringing? No. All right.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm fucking with my microphone settings.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: What's the fucking name of the bar, Pat?
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I was fucking drunk. I don't know.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: This is ridiculous.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll figure it out. What were you talking about?
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I want to talk about the good for two minutes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: We might not need that much time.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: How about this? Let's talk about the good and then
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: we don't bring it up again.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Ready?
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: TJ, Highsmith, the defensive line, and Bill Burr. That's all
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I got.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. Yep. I didn't put that in our little
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: cheat sheet because I know you don't like to do
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: studs when we lose. I know you're very emotional.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not doing no fucking studs this week.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Very emotional guy. But I did studs on my end,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and that's all I had. The outside linebackers and Bill Burr.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And Cam and Derek Harmon were solid as well.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: And Keanu Benton, I can't beat them up. The D-line
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: and Bill Burr. That's it. No stud designations. Stables are empty.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Keanu Benton had one of his better games as a Steeler,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I'd say. He was all over the place. Yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: The whole defensive line just ate all game. And that
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: was about it. All right. You want to get into
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: some bad?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Why don't you kick us off?
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. I don't know where to start. The
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: blame game, it's the question of the blame game at
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: this point, Pat. Steelers Nation is in a fucking frenzy.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Fans are miserable. We have some of the most miserable
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: fans in the entire world. I mean, granted, that was
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: one of the worst games ever watched. It's week fucking two.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: And people are talking about throwing out the coaching staff,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: throwing out the quarterback. Two, very at the bottom of
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: the list of the blame game. And I think we,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: We share, I know we share, but I think everyone
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: kind of shares the sentiment that number one finger you're
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: pointing at is the offensive line. They were so bad, Pat.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Frazier didn't even look good.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it was probably Zach Frazier's worst game in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a Steeler uniform. Not probably, it was. It was Zach
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Frazier's worst game in a Steeler uniform, and he wasn't
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: even the worst one out there.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: No, he wasn't even close to the worst one out there.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, going down the line, left tackle Troy Fontano
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: holding calls. He had a false start call against him
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: on top of him and McCormick on that left side
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: just not being in tune at all. Zach Frazier having
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: no communication to the left or right of him. Spencer Anderson,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: probably the worst offensive lineman on the field yesterday. And
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: then Dan Moore.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Dan Moore.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: It might as well be. Holy shit. The PTSD has
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: hit me hard. Jesus Christ.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I saw a lot of, it was mixed feelings about
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Dylan Cook, right? It was, Some people say, and he
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: was the worst one out there, or some people say, oh,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you know, he actually didn't have a bad day. I've
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: heard very smart people say both things. And after rewatching,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you know, getting in the lab, right, watching the tape,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: he had the two worst plays on the offensive line.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: But he's on the right side. So I think Rodgers
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: was just able to see it. It wasn't that drastic,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: throw the ball away. And then obviously there's that play,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Choi Fa-Tonu, Let a guy who had one and a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: half career sacks prior to that, a linebacker, just blow
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: right past him, fucking deliver the biggest hit. I've seen
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers taking a Steelers uniform. I was so surprised
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: he was able to just spring back up like that.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: I don't even know who to blame on that one, Pat,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: because Aaron adjusts the protection at the line of scrimmage.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: He spent an extra 20 seconds of the play clock
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: calling out the Mike, the blitz, you know, where it
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: was coming from. And you can see heads turn on
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: that offensive line being like, are you serious? Are you serious?
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: And then he gets smoked for it. I don't know
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: what was said. I don't know exactly what was going on.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: There was some type of communication issue on that one
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: There was communication issues all day across the whole line.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, the amount of linebackers and defensive backs that
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: ended up in the backfield, whether they got a sack
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: or not, just putting pressure on Rogers. Nobody was picking
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: up blocks. And I had a problem too with, a
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: lot of the play calling, not addressing that. And I
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: know that you and I are kind of on different
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: ends of the play calling, right? I thought it was horrible.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the reason we lost. It wasn't the reason
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the offensive line played as poorly as it did, but
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: there are just some head scratchers there. Make ginger. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: didn't think either back whenever, um, I should say the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: two starters cause Travis Homer ended up getting a little
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: bit of time, but I don't think Dowdo or Warren
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: did very well in past pro. Um, and I, I,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: We'll stick with the offensive line for now. I have
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: comments about the playmaking.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: I think it's disgusting that you're even criticizing the play
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: calling right now. I genuinely think it's disgusting.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Well, let's get into it then. You start the game
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: with two scripted runs to the left side.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Both getting blown up behind the line.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Because Pat Frymouth couldn't sustain a block.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: How is that coaching?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: You run it to Darnell Washington's side.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: He's on the other side of the field. So you're
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: mad at our coaches because our players suck.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: They're not playing to their strengths, McGingey. They did it
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: last week, too. They're getting too cute. It's not just
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: running it to Fryman's side. I mean, they were doing
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that last week, too. But it was sloppy. And Rodgers
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: said it. McCarthy said it himself. I mean, I'm not
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: pulling this out of my ass, McGingey.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: They're taking the blame away from the shitty offensive line. McCarthy,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: first of all, the number one thing he said in
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: the presser after the game and before the game is
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: that it's impossible to call plays when there's no protection.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: He said it was herky-jerky, McGee.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: He said that after week one. He said that after
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: week two. The first thing he stated at the press
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: conference is, number one, this offense is all about pass protection.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: It's all about protection.
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying you're wrong. Are you saying the play
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: is good? You're sitting here criticizing the play. You can't
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: run any play. You can't run anything with an offensive
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: line like that. You can't run anything with receivers that
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: don't catch. You can't run anything when running backs get
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: hit three yards behind the line.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Well, whose fault is that, McJingy?
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Holy hell, maybe the offensive line and the tight ends
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: that can't fucking block.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's the guy who decided we'll move every fucking
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: player around on the offensive line, not run the ball
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: at all in training camp, and then fucking deploy those
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: guys out there with no idea what the fuck they're doing.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not putting this on the head coach. The players suck, McJingy.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: But every time I criticize the coaching, you're like, well,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the offensive line sucks. The offensive line sucks. Both are true, McGingey.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: It's the same old shit. People have been ignoring the
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: fact that these players stink for three years now. All
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: they want to do is blame Tomlin, blame Tomlin, blame Tomlin,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: blame Tomlin. And now everyone's following the same fucking trap
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: yelling about McCarthy, dude. It's deja vu and it's nonsense.
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: Can I be mad at both?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Can I be 90% pissed off that the offensive line
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: fucking sucked and 10% pissed off that the play calling
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: wasn't good?
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: 10% is too high. 10% is too high. 10% is
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: too high. Okay. 10% is too low.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: 10% is too low. What about the coaching that had
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: all fucking offseason to get this figured out? That said,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going to draft a tackle in the first round
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and move everybody except for Frazier into positions they've never
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: fucking played before just so I can get a first
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: round tackle in the spot he's comfortable in instead of
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: teaching him how to play left tackle.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Man, it's not like Fontana played four years of left
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: tackle all throughout college.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: He was not on the blocking side, McGinji. It was
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: a left-handed quarterback.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: It means nothing. It means nothing. It means literally nothing. Okay,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: it means nothing. It means literally nothing.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: So Dylan Cook gets his ass blown out on two plays.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Somebody runs right by him.
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: What happens?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers just throws the ball away. No harm, no foul.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Fontana's on the left side. He gets his ass blown
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: out on a play. Someone runs right by him. Rodgers
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: is basically in a fucking wheelchair by the end of
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: That means literally nothing. That means literally nothing at the
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: blocking aspect. You block the same in pass, bro, no
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: matter what side the fucking quarterback is handed.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: It's different– It's different footwork.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: That's it. It's not, oh, dude.
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: That's why they moved him to left tackle so that
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: they have the better tackle at left tackle.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Okay. So that you're protecting the blind side. That's the
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: whole reason behind the move. Hey, let's put this guy
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: who played four fucking years at left tackle all throughout
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: college and then Tomlin moved him to right tackle at
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: his normal primary position.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: So are you trying to tell me that playing these
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: players– Outside of their position from last year.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to tell you Fontana should have been a
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: left tackle from day fucking one with the Steelers.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: And he should be left tackled this week and last
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: week and the week before. And it's not a new
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: position just because the quarterback is right fucking handed.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: We have one player on the offensive line who's playing
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: his position last year. The offensive line fucking sucks right now.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: They sucked last year. They sucked last year. Yes, they
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: sucked last year, Pat. This is the nonsense I'm talking about.
• 16:51
  Speaker 10: You've been trying to convince me that this soft three-inch
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: dick is a pussy for three years.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: I'm not sucking it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: They got a lot better towards the end of the year,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Mick Gingy.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, they got better. No, they fucking didn't.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: That wild card game, they got their ass kicked. But
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: prior to that, the last four or five weeks of
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the season, they were playing pretty well.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: No, they fucking weren't.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, they were. What do you forget?
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: No, they weren't. They were not playing pretty well. They sucked.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Who was not playing pretty well towards the end of
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: last year?
• 17:19
  Speaker 9: All of them.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Fat Tony was playing well. McCormick was playing well.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: To you, maybe. I've been saying this offensive line has
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: sucked for three years.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, that doesn't make you right.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Since we drafted the first tackle in the first round
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: of Omar Cohen's tenure.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't have gotten rid of Sayamalu. I was saying
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: that all offseason. Spencer Anderson plays like he's got a
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: big dick in his ass. Oh, Sayamalu's 31 years old.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: He's going to cost us some money. Let's fucking chip
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: him out.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Got to pay the backups, Pat. What a joke. Got
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: to pay the backups. You know, this game was so bad,
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: it got me thinking early in the first half. Maybe
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Tomlin's offense was what worked best with this personnel.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. Tomlin probably would have won this game.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: I was thinking that. Tomlin, let's relax, Pat. I mean,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: let's relax.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's the way we should go in
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: the future.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Let's not forget Tomlin lost to the fucking 2-11 Patriots
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: two or three years ago.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, beat this Patriots team last year.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: They fumbled six times.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they let up 13 points.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: And we should have lost.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: We should have won this week.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Me and you, the two of us idiots, prance around. Oh,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: we beat them. Oh, we beat them. Oh, we're a
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: good team. Oh, our offensive line is pretty good. They're
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: playing pretty well.
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: Oh, duh, duh.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Now, that was too early in the season for me
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: to compliment the offense a lot.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: You've been complimenting them for two or three years.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: You're so full.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Chugging it. Chugging it.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And jizz.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: You've been chugging it. You've been chugging it, Pat.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, put down the cum pipe, McGingey.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: You've been chugging it.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: You're smoking cum.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: You've been chugging it. I'd rather smoke it than chug it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Put that on a bumper sticker.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Give me your Pat stats.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of them, McGinty, so buckle up.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Christ.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Buckle up. Let's talk about this historic offense through two weeks, McGinty.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: This actually makes me sad. Third in pass attempts, but
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: last in yards per attempt. One of two teams that
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: have yet to have a 30-plus yard play.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Passing yards, not air yards, right?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Passing yards per attempt. No, yards per attempt, yes.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: So not air yards. Different stat.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Tied for third most sacks allowed. Tied for last in
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: offensive touchdowns. One touchdown in two weeks. 31st in third
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: down percentage. Five for 25. And We've punted more times
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: than any team in the league so far. This is
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: through two weeks, mind you.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: We got a great punter.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we do have a great punter. Those are some
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Pat stats on the offense. How about some Pat stats
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: on the defense? Tied for second in interceptions. Tied for
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: second in touchdowns allowed. And one sack behind the current
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: leaders with seven sacks. Highest team. I think there's a tie.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Top three teams have eight sacks, so... Basically, one of
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the worst offenses in the league, maybe the worst, and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in the league, maybe the best.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's where we're at right now.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: OG.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Who would have thought that?
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: OG. It looks like it doesn't matter who they hire.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: It looks like it doesn't matter who they bring in.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: The ship is the fucking same. The Browns is going
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: to Brown.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: And one last Pat stat just to show you the
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: offensive line has been looking like I know you're probably
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: familiar with this stat, but eight rushing yards before contact
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: in two games.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: On 44 attempts. Yeah, let's blame fucking big fat fuck
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy for not getting the right tackle and blowing
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: people off the line.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they might have had eight rushing attempts in training camp, period.
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ. I got one for you, Pat. This one's
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: really going to stick a fucking nail in your heart.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: You ready?
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Tickle my taint, Nick Gingy. Let's hear it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Chris Boswell has missed a kick in five straight regular
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: season games.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's brutal.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: We can't even get three points off of Boswell's toe, Pat.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: You sound defeated.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: I'm drained. I'm emptied. I give my all to this
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: fucking team. I listened to Pat's pump-up speech four times
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: during the game yesterday, laying in bed because I'm too
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: hungover to even think. I needed you to do the
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: thinking for me. I needed this team to make me
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: not want to kill myself.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you should start putting destiny in your own hands, McGingy.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Next thing you know, I'll be doing your thinking and
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: you'll be fucking hanging yourself with a rope.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Man, a man can dream, right? Jesus Christ. He was...
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: My God. Quarterback can't move. The wide receivers can't catch.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: The offensive line can't block. The running backs can't hit
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: the holes.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: We got the best defense in the league.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Time to blame McCarthy. It's... I don't have anything else
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: to say about this game, Pat. I want to flush
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: it so bad and never think about it again in
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: my life. You know, I've got some stiffs.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I got some, well, sure. Okay. Yeah.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: That'll segue. Let me start with a stiff.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you consider him a stiff and
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you're going to probably get mad at this one, but
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: despite the offensive line struggles, I don't think we're a Rogers.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Wasn't the reason we lost, but he didn't play a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: great game. He wasn't, He wasn't moving in the limited
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: pocket he had very well. He walked into a couple
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: of sacks. I don't blame him. I mean, he had
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: maybe two seconds to play to get rid of the ball,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't his sharpest performance either.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Allen from way down yonder in the Beaver River had
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: a great point in the Twitter spaces after the game.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: He said, you can have an immobile quarterback. You can
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: have a bad offensive line. You can't have both.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people saying, you know, you
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: need to have a mobile quarterback. You can't win in
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: modern NFL without a mobile quarterback. I've heard that four
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: or five times the past three days. What about the reigning.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: MVP of the National Football League, Matt Stafford?
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Is he a mobile quarterback? You fucking idiots.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Good offensive line. Yeah, no, you're right.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm just saying. The whole narrative of you
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: can't win unless you have a mobile quarterback.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: What did he win last year?
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah he won MVP but not much else yeah okay.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Single accolades individual accomplishments that's what we're going for in
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: this league.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah like Lamar Jackson the best runner of the football
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: had the same thing so.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah I think the MVP is a joke this is
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: disgusting who won the Super Bowl last year I mean
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't call him a mobile quarterback.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: He's not yeah he's not.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Good offensive line.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: He's not elite in any one area.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Good offensive line. You can't have both. And we got both. Oh,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: my God.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: They also have an actual wide receiver one, which another stiff,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: an obvious stiff. DK just looked fucking horrible out there.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: DK averages a drop every 19.6 targets. That was his
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: sixth drop with the Steelers. If you had to ask me,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: he's got more than six. I don't know how they
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: calculate these drop stats, but he's averaged 19.6 targets per
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: drop with the Steelers and 19.6 targets per drop with
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks. So this is the player that he's been
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: his whole career.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: $ 33 fucking million. And everyone's piling on him. So I'm
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: going to take the high road here. The guy's clearly
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: in his head. He either needs some good pussy. He
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: needs deer hunting season to come, get himself a good buck.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: He needs something outside of football to just get his
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: head off of catching balls.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: He is the.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Seventh highest paid receiver in the league in some pretty
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: elite company. So yeah, he's got to get it together.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And you can't run an offense when your receivers
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: can't catch.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Definitely missed. I mean, it really, everything that we could
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: say about this game comes with the caveat that the
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: way the offensive line played, we weren't going to win anyway.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Like I want you to understand that. So you don't
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: get mad at me and say, Oh, But definitely missed
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Michael Pittman out there, too. That's what I think of that.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Kind of weak.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, McDonald's. What are you going to do? I had
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: a snack wrap today.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I had some Indian food earlier.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Gross, dude. Did you eat it with your feet?
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: That's not okay.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: That's how they eat it.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: I'm going to step up and say Pat's not okay
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: with that.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Pat's not okay when the Indian man mixes his His
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: curry with his feet.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: That's his culture.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: His feet are probably cleaner than your butthole, Mick Gingy.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: I legitimately doubt that. Anyways, you were saying?
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying we miss Pittman out there. Not that
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: it would have made much.
• 27:42
  Speaker 11: Of a difference.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: We did miss Michael Pittman. I'm interested to hear the
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: injury update on him.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, if fucking Joey Porter doesn't
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: play this week, which doesn't sound like he's going to,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: then fuck him, dude.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: This is pissing me off now.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the jig is up. I mean, he's clearly taking
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: the same exact playbook that Jalen Ramsey, you know, worked
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: in Jacksonville back in 20-whatever was that, 19, 20, whatever
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: it was. You demand to be paid. You demand to
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: be traded. And then you sit out with a back
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: injury until the team gets ready.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard– one of the talking heads in Pittsburgh
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: say that Jalen Ramsey's agent taught like I was a
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: mentor for Joey Porter, Jr.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: 's agent. So go fucking figure. And then you got
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Jalen Ramsey making tackles during the game and flashing the two,
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: four to the crowd.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Now he's made, now he's mentoring Joey Porter.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, if DK doesn't get his
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: shit together against the bangles, we could be looking at
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: a two, three, four game suspension.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: He might go up in the stands and, Eat the
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: shit out of somebody.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: We're getting really close to this being, being turned into
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: a circus. We're getting really close, Pat. At what point, like,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: where's your panic meter at right now?
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: 10 being high, zero being low. I'm at like, I'm
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: at like a seven.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: That's low. Okay.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, Take it with the caveat that it is
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: the second week.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: If they go out and beat the Bengals, it'll completely
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: turn things around. That's a big if, the way they've
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: been playing, especially with Sexy Dexy now over in the Bengals. Yeah, yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Any more stiffs you want to talk about?
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Well, speaking of Rogers, his postgame presser was interesting.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: We alluded to that earlier.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: I'm so sick of this fucking blame game, Pat. I'm
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: so sick of the blame game.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: I don't need an honest answer out of Aaron Rogers.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Everyone can see what's happening. He does not need to
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: go out there and throw his fucking coach under the
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: bus and Passive aggressively saying that, oh, I need to
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: tell him that he needs to call better plays. Shut
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: the fuck up, dude. Shut the fuck up.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: He said, first off, that's on me. I need to
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: tell the coaches to call better plays.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Are we fucking for real, dude? Is this guy serious?
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: I'm sick of it, dude. He needs to dig down
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: and take some accountability and get some fucking heart, dude.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: People were online calling him and DK the Brokeback Retards.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: People were.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Not me. Not me.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you, you would never say that to Tomlin.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: No, no, absolutely not. What am I, a racist?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, fuck. Yeah, we can move on.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Quick recap of the Crouching Tigerhead Dragon. Crouching Tiger, Drake May,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: he did not kill us. Hidden Dragon, Hunter Henry, well,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: he did get caught open in space a few times.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: He did not kill us either. Unfortunately, we killed ourselves
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: this week. I don't have anything else to say about
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: this game, Pat, to you.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to move on, McGingy.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Let's take a break. Let's pause for some station identification.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: We got back. We got the Bengals preview for you.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Stay tuned.
• 31:33
  Speaker 12: Beer.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Cigarettes. Football.
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: High fructose corn syrup.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Big trucks.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: Firework shows.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Heavy machinery.
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: Big game hunting.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Farmer's tans. First responders. Cuban cigars.
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: High cholesterol.

  Speaker 4: More beer. $ 10 blackjack hands. 50 cent wings.
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: Truck nuts.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: And tarps off radio. Here we go.
• 32:02
  Speaker 12: All right, let's keep this fucking bus moving. We're leaving
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: all the bullshit in last week, McGingy. No more negativity.
• 32:10
  Speaker 12: We're looking ahead. People don't tune in the tarps off
• 32:13
  Speaker 12: to want to fucking kill themselves when they're driving to work.
• 32:16
  Speaker 12: That's not the podcast we provide. That's not the radio
• 32:19
  Speaker 12: program we provide.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: Bangles.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it is. Bangles.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Minus three and a half.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Three and a half point favorites in Pittsburgh against the Steelers.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Over-undered.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Set at 42.5, Sunday, Sunday, 1.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: P.m., down at Heinz. No elements to worry about.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Knock on wood. Getting some partly cloudy temperatures, nice, cool, comfortable,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: late summer, early fall type of feel. Before we get
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: into that, McChinchy, why don't you walk us through? I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: think we all have some answers of our own, but
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I'm interested to hear. Tell me why we hate Cincinnati.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Cincinnati. I don't need to tell you why we hate Cincinnati.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: We all hate Cincinnati, and we all know we hate Cincinnati.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Let me just remind you. So this week, I have
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: obtained a copy of the Cincinnati arrest report of the
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: night of the 2016 playoff game, where we won on
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: a game winner the night that Antonio Brown got murdered
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: by Vontaze Burfix. Surprisingly, he's not on the arrest report.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: I will not be reading the charges of any Steeler
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: fans from that night. But here are the perpetrators. These
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: are their stories. Martin Cook, Bengals fan. Urinated on the
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: person in front of him and punched him in the face. Charges,
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: disorderly conduct and assault. Jared McCarty, 19 years old, Bengals fan.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: stole a woman's hat outside and punched her in the head. Charges,
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: underage drinking, theft, assault. Dun dun. And Andrew Robles, 28
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: years old, Bengals fan, punched a woman in the face
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: during a police escort after being ejected out.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Of the game.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Charges, assault.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Guilty.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: Dun dun. This town is disgusting. This city is a joke.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Their fans are violent retards. You have two people hitting women.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: Two people that night. A 19-year-old stole a woman's hat.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: What's he doing with a woman's hat?
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Violent retards.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Violent retards. You punch a woman in the face during
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: a police escort. How dumb are we? Not only are
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: they violent retards, but they hate women. And those are
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: two things. that I don't stand for.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: They hate gorillas too, McGingy.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Least we forget.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Least we forget what else happened in 2016. On to
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: the scouting. The 2025 Bengals, 6-11, making it their third
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: straight year they've missed the playoffs. This year, they hope
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: to have Joe Burrow healthy for more than eight games,
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: and they're over-under set at 9.5 wins, same as last
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: week's New England Patriots. The one thing everyone knows about
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: the Bengals, obviously, is they're all offense, no defense. Joe
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Burrow and company returning all 11 offensive starters this year.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Looks like they're all healthy and ready to go for
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: this week. The one thing our defense needs to do,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: stop them on third down. And I'm sorry if that's
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: a pat key to victory, but stop them on third
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: down as the Bengals were fifth in the NFL last
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: year on third down, even without Joe Burrow for most
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: of the year. Defensively, they have made changes to tighten up.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Not only did they send their 10th overall pick to
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: New York for Sexy Dexy, but they also signed D-tackle
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Jonathan Allen, who was a salary cap cut from Minnesota.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: They also added edge rushers Bouye Mafe through free agency
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: and Cassius Howe, drafting him in the second round from
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Texas A & M. Their linebacker core returns to the
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: same last year, however. They have two second-year players, both
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: having 100-plus tackles last year, Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: They made replacements in the secondary, bringing in former Steeler
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Kyle Duggar and safety Brian Cook, who they paid $ 42
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: million to over three years. With the Bengals, we know
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: the offense is there and will be a challenge for
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: the Steelers. But the question is, did they do enough
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: on defense to make the playoffs and be a serious team?
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Changes at defensive line, secondary, kept the middle linebackers the
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: same who proved to be good tacklers last year. But
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: did they do enough on defense to make the playoffs
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: and be a serious team?
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: So far, their defense looks to be greatly improved.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's only been two weeks, but looks pretty promising.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: 33 points total, and that's six to last week to
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: the Texans. Looks promising for sure. They're definitely supposed to
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: be a better run-stopping defense. That was kind of their buttered.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: uh their buttered asshole last year was the past defense
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: um inability to tackle I mean they've been a terrible
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: defense for years.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Now yeah but they're getting to the quarterback they towards
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the top actually tied for first they're one of the
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: three teams I mentioned earlier that has more sacks than
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: the Steelers at eight so you know like you like
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: you hinted at they've really revamped their defense and they're
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: getting to the quarterback early. So it's going to be
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: a tough test.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: And let's not discount how terrible that Houston Texans offensive
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: line is. I mean, they're not as bad as we
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: looked last week, but they're very similar. We're going to
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: need our offensive line to tighten up or else we
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: might not score more than the Texans did last week.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Something I want to add too. This is going to
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: be a big Pat Graham prove it game.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: I love what I've seen from him so far, Mick Gingy.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: He's looked fantastic, but similar to last year when we
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: thought we had the two best, uh, you know, we
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: had the best cornerback tandem in the league. We could
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: cover anybody went into Cincinnati with our fucking dicks in
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: our hand, ready to rock and roll. And we got
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: absolutely shit on. So Pat Gray, a big prove it
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: game from him.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. Uh, Duby, why don't you do the injuries for us?
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Sure. Fellas. Uh, Pittman, I know you guys were wondering about.
• 38:38
  Speaker 13: McCarthy said he's unsure if he'll be able to go
• 38:41
  Speaker 13: this week. He said that yesterday with the foot injury,
• 38:44
  Speaker 13: so we'll have to monitor him during practice this week.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Same with Rico Dowdle.
• 38:50
  Speaker 13: He's day-to-day with that foot injury, or I mean toe injury,
• 38:54
  Speaker 13: that he sustained against New England.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: We already kind of talked about it.
• 39:00
  Speaker 13: JPJ is supposed to undergo more tests on Wednesday.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: He's just... faking an injury to see if.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: He hope he's all right hope he gets good results.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: If they don't come out and say on wednesday that
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: he's playing he's not playing this weekend.
• 39:15
  Speaker 13: Correct correct yeah fuck him and joe pondu um and
• 39:19
  Speaker 13: then deshaun elliott on the ir there's really no other
• 39:22
  Speaker 13: notable injuries but Pittman and Dowdle, definitely notable.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they said that Dowdle is likely to
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: suit up, but Pittman is up in the air.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Correct, yeah.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: Total injury, too. I mean, that's not good. That's something
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: that can linger for the whole year.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Especially a running back.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 39:43
  Speaker 13: Definitely not something you want them to have. We'll see
• 39:48
  Speaker 13: how practice goes this week for both of them. Bengals
• 39:51
  Speaker 13: are mostly healthy. Joe Burrow was questionable last week with
• 39:55
  Speaker 13: a tight back, but obviously he played. I'm guessing he's
• 39:58
  Speaker 13: going to play against us as well.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's basically guaranteed to play. I don't
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: think he's missing a divisional game.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: No, not unless TJ takes him out.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Not unless he has a gruesome, gruesome, hamstring injury like
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Kayla Williams. I couldn't even watch, dude.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: It was so gross, dude. I thought he was going
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: to die on the field. I was worried about him.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: We were at the bar, by the way. The name
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: of the bar was McFarlane's in Mount Lemo.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: McFinnegan's?
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: McFarlane's in Mount Lemo in Dormont.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Dormont, Lemo area. Great little bar. But he went down and.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: McFinnegan's?
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: You want me to say it again?
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: What was it?
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: McFarland's.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: That's probably right off McFarland road.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: You want me to say it one more time?
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: McFinnigan's McFarland's. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: One more time.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Is it right off McFarland road?
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: It's a little bar called McFarland's.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: Okay. Probably right off McFarland road. Yeah.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: It's this bar called McFarland's.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: We were able to put the red zone channel on
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: one of the TVs during the game. So I saw
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and saw him go down and everyone at
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the bar, as soon as it happened, I said, yo,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, little hamstring injury. He should be fine though.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: And everyone looked up at the TV like, nah, dude,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: he looks really hurt. I'm like, nah, it didn't look
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: too bad. He should be fine. And everyone's like, dude,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: he definitely tore something. Yeah. His season's over. I'm like, dude,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: he's just being a pussy. He's fine. And then fast
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: forward two hours later, I got some good atotoso out
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: of the group.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: So. You would have thought he got shot, dude.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he just slid a little weird, and the leg
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: kind of went back a little weird.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: And I was like, what the?
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, Pat. I've pulled my hamstring before.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: I scored touchdown on that play.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: I find the end zone. I got a nose for it.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Anywho.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: I'm excited for this game, Pat. I'm excited to be
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: back at Heinz Sunday at 1 o'clock. Good weather. Going
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: to have you down there at the tailgate early 7 a.m.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: caravan with me and Jim Brownie. It's going to be
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: a good morning. Football weather, like I said. Pitt plays Saturday.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: We're doubling up. Oh, by the way, we were planning
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: on bringing our grass expert on here today, but with
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: the loss and everything, vibes weren't as high, so Next
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: pit in Steelers back-to-back, we're going to have the grass
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: expert on to talk about this new turf we got.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Turf's looking good. Grass is looking good.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: Turf's looking good, and there's not going to be any
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: rain for the rest of the week. No rain from
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: here on out. It's going to be high 60s. I
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: was able to turn my AC off this week, Pat. Yeah, same.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: It's off right now, McGee.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: What are you thinking food-wise down at.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: The- I don't know, Nick. I'm not thinking anything right now.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: Come on. Give me something, Pat.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not going to give you anything.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Come on, Pat. Give me something.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: I'll probably bring the little flat top.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: Down, though.
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: Maybe breakfast sandwiches? I don't know.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: Come on, Pat. Give me something.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, no. I don't know.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: You're killing me.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: We'll have Dai going for sure. So come on over
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: to Cardell a lot. Stop over and see us. We
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: got some new people in the lot this year, too.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Apparently getting booted out of the Alco lots. Alco sucks, dude.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: You know you can't have tents in those Alco lots?
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: That's fucking dumb, dude. I thought this was America.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: I'm going to buy a tent this week. Stick it
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: to those Alco jagoffs.
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: They can meet me in the car a lot, and
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: they can clean that porta potty. Because that porta potty
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: is alcohol-owned. Did you know that?
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: No.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet you didn't.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I never used a porta potty.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: I shit in there probably once a year.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've shit in there before.
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. It's a little tough now. We don't have access
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: to the building.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Give us your keys to victory, Pat.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: First one's kind of obvious. Got to get eyes on
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Sexy Thaxy. Got to have a plan of attack for
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: this guy. Can't let him wreck the game. When we
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: played him against the Giants last time we scored up
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: against them, he fucking wreaked havoc. Before he got hurt
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: last year, he was creeping up towards potential deep point candidate.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: And just got to make sure we bottle him up,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Mick Chingy, any way we can. He could ruin this
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: game for the Steelers single-handedly.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Did you know that his wife is a chef?
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: That guy eats good.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: You should see a picture of her, too.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: I bet he really eats good.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Is she a handsome lady?
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What? Careful, Pat.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Is she a handsome lady?
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: I didn't say nothing about handsome. Pat, I just went
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: to Google. Why are my recent Google searches Mount Lebanon bar,
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: Pittsburgh weather, Bengals, highest paid wide receiver in the NFL.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: Are you in my Google search?
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Fucking congrats, Sherlock.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: You figured it out.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. That makes sense.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: That makes sense.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: You better not fucking act up or I'll leak your
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: fucking Google history on the pod, huh?
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, don't do that.
• 45:37
  Speaker 14: Yeah?
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Don't do that. Can gays squirt? Why'd you Google that, McChinchy?
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: Come on, man. Everyone squirts, man. Come on, man. You
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: know I know that. uh she looks a little old though.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Um no comment mcgingy let's let's move.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: On another key to victory for pat we gotta bottle
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: up chase brown mcgingy i mean we could get beat
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: in the air we can't get beat on the ground
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: if we get beaten both we're gonna lose this fucking
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: game obviously so uh let's control we can control let's
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: get that defense aligned humming let's bottle up chase brown.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: Bottle up brown baby i love it i love brown
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: bottles Speaking of.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Bottles, let's swallow our pride. Do a little Dinkin' and Dunkin', McGinch.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: You can't be taking these deep shots. We have, what
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: is it, 0 for 6 or 0 for 9 on
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: deep shots or something, Roger? Worst deep pass in the
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: league right now, and we just don't need to be
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: doing that. This West Coast offense, something that's been pissing
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: me off about the first two games here is I
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: was expecting the pass to kind of take away some
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: of the runs in terms of the short pass.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Getting the ball to Jalen Warren, doing little things and thunks.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the West coast style, you know, get
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: some short passes, throw some of the run plays aside.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: We're not doing enough of that. We're not taking the layups.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: We're getting a little too cute. McCarthy said it himself.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: He's going to simplify the playbook a little bit and
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: we got to take what's there.
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I like that, Pat. I think a lot of
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: our mistakes so far are coachable to fix.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I thought, It was all the players, not the coaches.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: The players suck, dude.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Get your ass. Players suck.
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: What makes a good player a good coach?
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to say.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: No, that's not what you said at all. You're sitting
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: here blaming the fucking play calling. You're blaming the fucking
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: play calling. Fucking play calling. That's crazy, dude.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just like to pick one little part of
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: my argument and attack it.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: Huh crouching tiger hidden dragon crouching tiger Joe Burrow Pat
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: you know when the last time Joe Burrow lost to
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: the Steelers.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Was last oh no because yeah I don't know that's
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: a good question.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: 2024 when Russell Wilson threw for 400 plus yeah so
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: you know when the last time he lost in Pittsburgh
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: was no November 15th, 2020 against Big Ben. That was
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: the first game of the year that the Steelers let
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: fans in because of COVID. What a fucking joke COVID was.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: I remember Jim Broney and I bought tickets. We had
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: spent the night before at the titty bar where I
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: watched two strippers fight each other. And then I got
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: my chain stolen. So woke up feeling sad, bought Steeler tickets.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: That'll move the chains.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: Shut the fuck up, Pat. He is 4-3 all-time against
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: the Steelers, 3-1 at Heinz Field. Hidden dragon this week.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: Sexy Dexy Dexter Lawrence. After what we saw last week
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: out of the offensive line, I went back, watched the
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: tape from 2024 when he was with the Giants, when
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: they came to Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football. 2024's tape
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: was bad, Pat. Dexter Lawrence, it's not showing up on
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: the stat sheet, but he was lived in the backfield.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: lived behind the line of scrimmage. It was, if that happens,
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: if he plays like that again, you know, we could
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: be in some trouble here. Now, who knows how much
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: ball Dexter Lawrence has left. He had half a sack
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: last year in 17 games, only 31 tackles. He was
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: kind of non-existent. They had the worst run D in
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: the NFL last year in New York Giants. So who
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: knows how much of an impact he's going to have?
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: And that's almost me saying that to challenge him. And
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: to say, Dexy, sexy Dexy, prove me wrong there, bud.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was hurt a good bit of last year, though,
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: wasn't he?
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: Played all 17 games.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: He had a hamstring injury and you're right. He played
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: all 15 games, but he had like, I think an
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: arm injury and a hamstring injury. No, an illness took
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: him out week five. And then he had a hamstring
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: late in the year.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: He played all 17 games last year.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: Okay. Okay. Now let's kick it to everyone's favorite segment.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: Things to watch from aircraft's eye in the sky.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: Flight attendants, prepare for takeoff, please. Aircraft says, since we're
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: all here, Eye in the Sky Week 3 is Sea
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: Weeks 1 and 2, and a reminder to connect on
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: the deep ball. As Pat said, Aaron Rodgers and the
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: Steelers are 0 for 9 on throws deeper than 20 yards.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: The worst such stat in the NFL amongst qualified players.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: The most incompletions, I guess I should say, without having
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: a completion. Second from aircraft is there's no use waiting
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: for this line to build chemistry, then replace them later.
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: Blow up the right side and start Hoffman and IMAX.
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: Get Dunker a helmet. And this won't happen, but I'd
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: love to get some wider splits. He's got a good point.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: I think the theory was, you know, while we have
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: a solid offensive line, let Max Iona chore, you know,
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: develop on the side and then bring them in when
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: you need to. It's I think we're well past that, Pat.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Well, Dunker seems first off, let's state the obvious. We
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: don't know how these guys look. We're not at practice
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: every day. They could both be ready to go. They
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: could both be a long way from ready to go.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: just assuming that they kept the momentum going from the
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: preseason that we saw good or bad. It seems like
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Dunker's not going to be ready for a while. He's
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: got a lot to learn and rightfully so two completely
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: different offenses and moving from tackle to guard a haunted chore.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I'm going to lean on McCarthy's decision-making here, depending on
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: what he sees in practice. I will say though, if
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: you don't put them in this week, Mick Jinsey, it's,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: It's going to be tough to put him in next
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: week on a short week at home Thursday night football–
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: or excuse me, on the road Thursday night football in Cleveland.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: So if you don't put him in this week, you
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: could be looking at, what, week five against the Colts
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: for him to make his debut. So I think Cook
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: has given you enough reason to take him out. If
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: you remember, I said on this last episode, as long
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: as Cook doesn't have any of those plays where he
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: gets completely blown off the spot the minute the ball
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: was snapped, then there's really no reason to put a
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Honitore in. Well, that happened. That happened a couple times
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: this past week. So, yeah, if Max seems ready from
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: the Steelers' perspective, at least as ready as he's going
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: to be, then throw him in this week. If not,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect to have him start against the Browns.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. And, you know, I may not have
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: been as critical on Dylan Cook during this past hour
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: or so as I was on Sunday. Dylan Cook and
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: his lovely wife came into Bigham last night, left Amber
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: a great tip. So I got to start defending the guy,
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: even if Max is my boy right behind him. Maybe
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: we find a spot for Dylan Cook at right guard.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: I'm open now. I'm open to trying new things, Pat.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: Seems like a lovely man, a lovely family. Happy to
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: have him in Pittsburgh in that aspect. Give us a prediction, Pat.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm never going to predict the Steelers to lose.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: That's just never going to happen. I'm going to say
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: everything sounds so silly because thinking I was going to say,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: I'll say 28, 24, but that sounds so ridiculous considering
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: they've scored one touchdown in two games.
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm just saying if.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: The Steelers are going to win, I feel like, I
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: feel like it's going to have to be higher scoring than,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: you know, nine to three or 17 to, 12 or
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: some weird shit.
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: Big test for the defense. I think it's Steelers 24,
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: Bengals 20. I think we hold the Bengals at 20
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: points here. The Steelers, we've only had five defensive red
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: zone plays all year. We had zero against Atlanta, and
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: we had five last week, all coming on one drive.
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: Did you know that, Pat?
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: That's a good stat.
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: That's a great stat. With Gigi's hot lead, I am.
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: Six and three now, plus three units. I don't apologize
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: for giving out my picks. This week I'm going to
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: apologize for giving out my picks. That Green Bay Jets
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: over 44 and a half. While it was close, we
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: were only seven points away. It was not close. Anyone
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: who watched that game knew in the first half that
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: that over was not hitting. I will formally apologize for
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: that pick. Having said that, this week Carolina Panthers minus
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: two and a half at the Cleveland Browns. You look
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: at that line, you're like, wow, Carolina just blew them out.
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: Only two and a half points. That looks like a
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: sucker's bet. Let's take two and a half. Easy, Carolina.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: That's what the casuals. I think this is a casual hit.
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: I think this is a don't overthink it. I think
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: this is, oh, there might be some momentum coming in
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: on Cleveland's side. No, there's not. Let's not overthink this.
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers, minus two and a half at Cleveland. Book it.
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: Casuals win sometimes too, fellas. Anything like that?
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm ready to move on.
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: Let's take another break. When we get back, we got voicemails,
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: the ends of the week, and the trivia question for you.
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: Stay tuned.
• 56:09
  Speaker 11: Does your fucking dick.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: Not work anymore?
• 56:12
  Speaker 9: Are you tired of feeling like less of a man?
• 56:16
  Speaker 11: This is four-time Baranaco, Allegheny County Ultimate Fighting Champion, Rip LaRocque.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: And I'm here to talk to you about a problem affecting.
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: A lot of men out there.
• 56:27
  Speaker 11: A reptile dysfunction. If your dick can't get hard, that
• 56:32
  Speaker 11: means you're a fucking pussy. And everyone on the streets
• 56:35
  Speaker 11: could be looking to take a piece of your ass.
• 56:37
  Speaker 11: But don't worry, sissy boy. I got the perfect solution
• 56:41
  Speaker 11: to you. Rhino Rick's Extreme Rhino Thrust. Four rhinos had
• 56:48
  Speaker 11: to die to make just one of our pills. If
• 56:51
  Speaker 11: that doesn't make you rock fucking hard, then I can't
• 56:55
  Speaker 11: help you. The FDA can suck my balls. They don't
• 57:00
  Speaker 11: care about getting your dick rock fucking hard. All they
• 57:04
  Speaker 11: care about is polluting America with their corporate bullshit.
• 57:09
  Speaker 9: That's why I said Fuck the FDA.
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: Fuck the FDA.
• 57:14
  Speaker 9: And I said fuck PETA too.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Fuck you too, PETA.
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: You know what PETA's short for?
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: Pedophile.
• 57:23
  Speaker 11: And I'll be goddamned if I'm promoting pedophilia with my
• 57:26
  Speaker 11: fucking pills. So give Rick the Rhino call if you
• 57:31
  Speaker 11: want to walk around with your dick harder than fuck.
• 57:34
  Speaker 9: Cause I'm so in the only.
• 57:36
  Speaker 11: Proven 100% placebo-based erectile dysfunction treatment.
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: It's not placebo if it fucking works.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Ring ring, hello?
• 57:59
  Speaker 9: Ring ring, hello? Ring ring, hello?

• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Rick's wife and child would not have appreciated that. That
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: was a car call. He's so fucking bad.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: I'm getting re-mad. I'm getting re-mad all over again. And

  Speaker 4: Farby on the map. I wonder what he's got to
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: complain about. I'm sure it's a map. Kick it. This
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: is a voicemail from Farby on the map. Hey, Tarps off.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 12: So I've got him out here.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: Yesterday was one of those days where football reminds you
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: it's not all Turner's team for many sandwiches.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: I have not watched a Steelers football game so devoid
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: of happiness in quite some time.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 6: You know, it's one of those days where.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: You just don't want to watch football anymore after that.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 13: You know, why do I want to go watch a
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 13: cup in offense to remind myself how bad my team
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 13: just did?
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Because I was downright abysmal.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you guys have put in enough.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: Anger and tears into this podcast, so I won't harp
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: on it. Looking to be miserable with you guys.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: Not to mention, JSN dropped 42 on my head after that,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: so maybe next summer when I'm.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 9: Going trick-or-treating, someone will shoot me in the face for
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 9: trying to rob them or something.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: Despite that, big fan.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 6: Not going nowhere.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: See you guys next week.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: Go Steelers.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Bobby with the most level-headed call, I'd say, so far.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, just sad.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Not angry.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: Just sad. He's sad.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: He's an engaged man now. He's beaten down. He's got
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: more important things on his fucking plate. God damn it.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: Between that call and Rick talking about wanting to go
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: down to the pumpkin patch on Sundays, I mean, geez louise.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: It's really that bad.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Not for us, McChinchy. I'll be goddamn if I'm spending
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: my Sunday at a fucking pumpkin patch.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: Pumpkin patch is starting to look pretty good at about
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: three o'clock on this Sunday, Pat. I'll tell you what.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. They got pie at the pumpkin patch.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: They got kielbasa. They got kielbasa? Yeah, dude. They got
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: food vendors at Pumpkin Patches.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: They got kielbasa at the Pumpkin Patch.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: I swear. Wow. Go out to Trax Farms. They got
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: kielbasa at the Pumpkin Patch. Trax Farms got the kielbasa?
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: Swergles used to have the kielbasa. I think they went
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: food food.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Is that like a thing with the kielbasa at the
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Pumpkin Patch?
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: I think in Pittsburgh, probably.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: That's kind of sick. It's October. Kill Boss is pretty good, dude. Plus,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: you get a good beer. They got Penn Brewery, Pilsner's, Oktoberfest.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: You just get a beer and you walk around the
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: pumpkin patch. It's not a terrible time. It's much better
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: than watching fucking Aaron Rodgers get murdered.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: I bet you the fucking Libs love our offensive line, dude.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: Like a good 12-car pileup.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: The fucking libs.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: It's so horrifying. You just don't want to look away.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: The libs love it, McGingy. They can't look away. They
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: want to see Rodgers. They want to see Rodgers get
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: whacked every game.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you who's really loving it is ESPN. Another
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: week with dog shit officiating, Pat. I mean, they called
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: a soft, you know, unsportsmanlike on Jalen Ramsey. They had
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: that terrible offsides call that took Jalen Ramsey's sack away.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: And two plays later, they score on it. The refs
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: don't want to ESPN airing Rogers all over that Superbowl weekend, Pat.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: It looked, yeah.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: Well, okay.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to overthink it. Don't overthink it. Don't
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: overthink it, Pat. Let's hear it from Alan way down
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: yonder on the Beaver river. Alan put on a quite
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: the show in the, in the spaces this week as well. Pat,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: I noticed you joined the Twitter spaces for a couple
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: of minutes and then I was.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: There for about a minute and a half.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: And I just, uh, I decided to log out and
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: get a piss cock subscription and start watching the new
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: season of Ted. The new-ish, the second season.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Because I just couldn't.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: Do any more football.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: Let's hear it from Alan, way down yonder on the
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: Beaver River.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 6: McKenzie, this is Alan from way down yonder on the
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 6: Beaver River. I was calling.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: I was hoping you guys could hook me up with
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: some of the inside the store Steelers so I could
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: get some advice from them.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 6: You guys think you can put Dylan Cook on for me?
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: I might be able to.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Pat, can you put him on?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: Pat?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Is this a voicemail or what?
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 6: I wanted to talk with him because I wanted to
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 6: get some advice.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: I'm struggling at work and I wanted to.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 6: Hear from him how you keep your job without fucking
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 6: doing it.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: You guys think you could put Omar Khan on?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 6: You put Omar on for me?
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: Pat, put Omar on. Pat.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: Is he calling live?
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: Put him on, Pat.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 9: I wanted to speak with Omar because I wanted to
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 9: figure out how.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: You can continuously.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: Fuck up and then somehow three years later trade your
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 6: fuck ups and people somehow think that you're bleating. Has
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 6: he landed a first round pick yet?
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: This dude fucking blows.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 6: Four years to fix the line and this is what
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 6: we get? This shit's a fucking joke. I got nothing
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 6: else to say.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 4: I will say this. I can no longer talk shit
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: on Dylan Cook because he left Amber a great tip
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: up at Bigum.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: Omar Khan's fair game though.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: Omar Khan has never shown his bald ass head up
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: at Bigum and left my fiance a good tip.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 10: He's been a problem since day one. I was laughed
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 10: at when I said this guy sucks. This guy's overrated.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 10: I've come around. I thought we had a good draft
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 10: this year. Everyone knows how I feel.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: I know pat the boo birds are getting loud what
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: do you think of omar khan at this point i
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: know your opinion changes every.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: Week no dude i've always liked omar khan i still
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: like omar khan is my mic level okay i think
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: it might have got fucked up testing testing it's.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: As good as it's going to get. Now, Pat, has
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: he hit on a first-round draft pick yet?
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: What do you mean by, like, re-sign a first-round draft pick?
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, just has he hit on a first-round
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 4: draft pick yet?
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Are you ready to say he hit on Derek Harmon? No. Okay.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think he's hit on a single one.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, his first... First draft, obviously, moving up,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: trading a third, moving up and getting Broderick. That was
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: a whiff.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 4: Passing on players like Christian Gonzalez and Jackson Smith and Jigba.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure. But were you not going to draft a
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: tackle in that position? I mean, that was the move, right?
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: There you go again with your Omar Khan defense.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you could say he picked the wrong tackle,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: but you just get a hindsight nitpick.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: I'd rather have... Jackson Smith and Jagba or Christian Gonzalez
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: than any left tackle in that draft.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'd have to look at the left tackles taken
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: in that draft. No, I mean, I, I, I liked
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: Derek Harmon a lot. I think that was a strong pick.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: I think by the end of this year, we'll be
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: able to say he hit on a first round pick.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: I like a lot of what he's done. I mean,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's been perfect. I, I, I'm still
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: a fan of Omar Khan though. I think he's had some,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: Some good drafts finding good value later in drafts as well.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: First-round picks have been a problem. They've been a concern.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: I think Derek Harmon kind of broke that out, though.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: I love what I've seen.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: Has he hit on a third-round pick?
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: A third-round pick? He had two bad third-round picks the
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: past few years. He had Caleb Johnson, obviously Roman Wilson,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: kind of a whiff there. Who else has he had
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: in the third rounds? I don't know.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: You've been very critical of Omar Khan, McGingey.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: He hit on Darnell Washington.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: Darnell Washington.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: That was a third-round pick.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that whole draft was good. That was a great draft.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: I wonder what Allen thinks of that draft, yeah.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: I think Allen's probably a little upset that we paid
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: a whole bunch of backups well over $ 100 million and
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: then aren't going to pay a top-five cornerback what he deserves.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: I think that's probably what Allen has to say.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: What do you consider, I mean, Benton and Herbig, right?
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: And Darnell.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: Darnell, are you upset we paid Darnell?
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: I think if we don't sign Joey Porter Jr., yeah,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: I'm upset we paid all three of those guys and
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: not Joey Porter Jr.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's related to.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: The recent report is that the Steelers offered him $ 27 million,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 4: and that was the issue.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: Well, that came from Stooge Lacks, so let's relax.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean... Do we think he's going to put
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: out a report like that? Because 27 million is a
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: low offer.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, and I don't think the stewards are putting
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: that out in the sense of being like, we offered
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: him like a great deal because that would, that's what
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: you're saying. Jerry Stujlak would put out. He's a steward's PR.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: Try to get under it. I don't think they would
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: come out and say 27 million in the hopes that
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: people take their side.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Well, what I was trying to ask you is do,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: or trying to say, I guess is I, I don't
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: feel like the, the, the problem is strictly money. I
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: think it's, they don't value Joey Porter jr. Enough to
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: pay him 30 plus mil, but I don't see how
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: not signing her big or not signing Benton. We're not
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: signing Washington would, would really change that.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, sure.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: They'd have more money to throw around. Right.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: Or they could give him three more million.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: Sure. But I, I, I just don't think they value
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: him at that. I don't think that would change how
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: they value him as a player.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I think it's frustrating regardless.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: What do you always say about the cap?
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 4: It's fake.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: That's a good point. Thanks for the call, Alan.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, they have plenty of money.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: To pay Joey Porter Jr. this year and next year.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Guaranteed.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: It's just not what they do. They don't like to
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: guarantee players past year one. They definitely don't like to
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: do it past year two. And they won't do it
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: past year three. But they don't have much guaranteed money
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: tied up in the next three years. You know, they
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: have a lot this year. They have some next year.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: But they have the ability to maneuver around that. You know,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: it's not like they can't sign Joey Porter for 30
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: mil even right now. They just don't value him as
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: a $ 30 million player.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: Sorry to the whole situation, man. Either you want to
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: be a Steeler or you don't.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: And this, yeah.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Assuming he is faking this injury, fair assumption, just a
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: fucking low level move, dude. Just so disrespectful. And as
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: a front office, you got to worry about how you
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: play this. Cause you don't want to send the wrong
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: message to future players, right? Where it's like, Oh yeah, just,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: you know, fake an injury and you'll get traded away or,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just, you know, hold out, start the season and,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: And they'll make a deal, you know, week three or
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: four in. That's not something the Steelers have ever done. So,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: you know, you got to worry about setting precedents here, too.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, the culture has been gone for 10,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: 15 years now. This has been the way, you know,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 4: hold out, rig this franchise, all their money. You know,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 4: don't give a piss if you win a Super Bowl
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: or not. Don't give a piss if you only scored
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: three points against the fucking Patriots. Just don't give a piss.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: You know, just come collect a paycheck. And just don't
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 4: give a piss. You got Yenzer of the Week, Pat?
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I'm not going to play anything for
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: Yenzer of the Week. I'll post it on my Twitter.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: I just don't think it's the most interesting to hear
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: clearly over the radio. But my Yenzer of the Week
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: is this 95-year-old lady. lady her name is mama lou

  Speaker 1: Yeah, she just watches the game. I mean, she gets
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: into it, man. She lights a candle for the Steelers.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, this lady. Yeah, she's on one of the movable chairs.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: She's like, oh, is that DJ Watt? He's so handsome.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: Bobby on the Mount used to have one of those
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: movable chairs in his house, and he used to get
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: upset when we used to ride it.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what was the purpose of it?
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: His grandma lived in the basement. She couldn't really get
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: up the steps. Saying that out loud. Saying that out loud.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: Probably best to not touch that.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 4: Probably understands why he didn't like it.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: A little 12-year-old breaks up and your grandma's stuck in
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: the basement for a month.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: There's a back door. Going to tuck her out around
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: the yard. Mama Lou, yinz of the.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: Week, huh?
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: Mama Lou, yinz of the week.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know her. I liked this post, I think.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: I told you you liked the post, yeah.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: Okay. Yeah, Mama Lou. Put it on your Twitter.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: I'll put it on my Twitter.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: Tooby, trivia question.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 13: All right. Last week we came up with one. So
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 13: in 1989, the Steelers kept an undrafted rookie linebacker on
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 13: the week one roster only because another player failed his
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 13: physical at the last minute.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: I failed physicals. Drugs related, though.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: It happens to the best of us, Ging.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 13: Well, somebody who benefited from the situation, that guy was
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 13: Greg Lloyd, went on to be three-time All-Pro and five-time
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 13: Pro Bowler.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: Stud. Yeah, I didn't know that one. That was a
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: good question.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 13: We got to get him into the Hall of Fame
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 13: for sure. So this week came up with a little
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 13: one– A little bit of a throwback. So which Steelers
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 13: player once made the team only because Chuck Knoll insisted
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 13: on keeping a long snapper, leading to a future Pro
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 13: Bowl career that began as a roster bubble afterthought during camp?
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: That answer will come in the.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: Next week's episode. Chuck Knoll, long snapper, Pro Bowl career. Hmm.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: You want to take a shot at it, Pat? You're
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 4: looking the answer this week in the face again.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not going to take a shot at it.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: I fucking nailed it last week, though.
• 1:17:56
