  Speaker 1: Tarpsoft Radio. I'm your host, McGinji. Beside me is your co-host, Pat,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: intern producer Doobie behind the boards. Yet another loss on
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a road Thursday night football game. We still haven't won
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland since their daddy, Papa Ben Roethlisberger retired five
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: years now. Felt like that game was a month ago.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: There's still plenty to talk about. We even have our
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: grass expert joining us for the show today as Pitt
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and North Carolina play Saturday Colts and Steelers Sunday. So
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you're going to talk about the new turf, what goes
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: into it down at Heinz field. But first Pat, what
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: kind of day are we having today?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: That's a, Pat's on the grass himself, McG.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Pat went scuba diving earlier, and he's enjoying a
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: cold Diet Coke along with his scuba sesh.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I just went underwater myself, Pat.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: Got to celebrate having the grass expert on the show.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. No, hey, listen. If you guys like grass, or
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: even if you've ever been curious about grass, I didn't
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: have any questions prepared. And I might ask more questions
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: than you, McG. I mean, I'm such a naturally curious
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: person when it comes to grass.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: A couple of grass enthusiasts, you could probably call us.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: All right. We got to start with something here, Pat.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Can we start with something real quick, McG, just to
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: satisfy Doob and the rest of us here?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: How about it?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I'll start on a good note, McG.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: How about Pitt football? How about that?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I know you didn't get to see it. Actually, I
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: ran into Lance Armstrong this weekend, and he wanted me
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: to ask you what kids you were dying from that
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: you missed going to Jim Broney's house for the Pitt game.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, please. I watched it at my house. I had
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a good time with my bowl of chips and some popcorn.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I was sick as a motherfucker. I was sick and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't even feel like explaining anything to you guys
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: because there wasn't anything I could say.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I've been there.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I believe me.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I've been there.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: But I did not want to drink at all.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Like I was telling me I was behind enemy lines, dude.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: If we missed that kick, I might've just been at
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the bottom of Lake Erie.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: You had a worse Thursday than I did. That's for sure.
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: It was real bad. I had to give you some shit.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Did you go to Jim Brownies?
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: No, he was in Cleveland.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I was still in Cleveland.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I thought you were saying that I went through that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and I still went.
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I'm saying I was still behind enemy lines. It was... Yeah.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: No, I just felt like shit and I just... What
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was I going to say? Hey, I don't feel good.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not coming. I'm getting shit either way.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: That's the thing, McGee. As anyone else, I probably wouldn't
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: have said nothing. But you got to admit, you're the
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: king of that. So I had to give you some
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: shit myself.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it happens.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: And you know what?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't go because we won. And who knows?
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Maybe if I go over to Jim Brownie's, Pitt.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Ends up losing that game.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: That's true. Jim Brownie had the charcuterie on his head.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: He was dialed in.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: You know, I've heard things about the shark pussy.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Is that a staple game wear for Jim Brody now?
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: For those of you who don't know, Jim Brody's got
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: this shark hat. It was gifted to him. And it
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: kind of looks like, I'll just say it. It looks
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: like a female shark, but the female part is in
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the mouth that sits above his forehead.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: What? I don't know.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: What?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: It looks like he has a pussy for a mouth, McGee.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm trying to say.
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: The shark?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: It is a really weird looking shark head. I got
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a picture in the family group chat as well.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Can you crop it out and maybe post it on
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Twitter tomorrow? Yeah, just the hat.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Put an emoji over his face like he's a child.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can do that.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: We'll get his permission first.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: You don't need his permission if it's anonymous.
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: You can sign the waiver.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'm allowed to film.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You don't know my rights. I'm allowed to film here.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It's a public space.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Not quite.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Have you seen that guy who sets up cameras?
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I know who you're talking about.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Did you see he was in Oakmont last week?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: He was in Oakmont last week?
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: He was in Oakmont harassing these two ladies.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: No, you gotta send it to me.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: It was a.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: 40 minute long TikTok video.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Dude, there's a million First Amendment auditors.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Around the country. That's what they call them?
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: That's so funny.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: That's what they call themselves, yeah. Dude's just so.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Casual about it. I support a First Amendment audit.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: That's like a thing?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You support those guys?
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: 100%.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Those guys are assholes, dude. I like it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: They just stand on a sidewalk and shove a camera
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: down people's faces and be like, it's not illegal, bro. No,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you're just being an asshole. It's not about if it's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: legal or not. Anyways, hell of a win for Pitt.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Hell of a win for Pitt.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Go Panthers.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Now the sad part.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Pat. Yeah, I'm pissed.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Let's play one out. Let's pour one out and play
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it for Joey Porter Jr. Yeah. Taps.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Fuck Joey Porter Jr. Fuck Omar Khan. Fuck this whole situation.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: None of this needed to happen.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Both sides played this horribly.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It's tough.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: It's really tough.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And you want to hear how I'm coping? Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: They weren't going to pay him. They were never going
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: to pay him.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I thought they were. I thought they were.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Now we don't have to worry about paying Zach Frazier.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: We don't have to worry about paying McCormick. We don't
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: have to worry about paying Fontanou. So I think that's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: how I'm coping.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Aren't you, are you concerned though at all that, you know, maybe,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: maybe one of those guys in the future decides he
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: wants three more million dollars and, two more guaranteed years
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: and pulls the same stunt?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Pat.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Because that was my whole thing. Like the precedent that
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: this sets, I would have handled that because question you'll
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: probably ask me, I'll tell you how I would have
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: handled it. If I was Omar Khan, I would have
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: set Joey Porter's ass to injured reserve. I would have
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: made it very clear. If he wants to play this game,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: he's sitting out the entire year and we're franchise tagging
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: him next year. And then next year, if you franchise
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: tag him, you want to trade him, go ahead. But
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: we could talk contracts next year, Joey Porter Jr. That's
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: what I would have done.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not even putting him on IR. That's a fake
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Fugazi back injury. And let me tell you this, Pat.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: That's a new bargaining chip for the players. That has
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: come a long way. The Steelers have used bargaining chips
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: against players for decades. They used the we're not negotiating
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in season. They were only doing one year's guaranteed. They
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: use all these bargaining chips. The Steelers got outplayed. They
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: simply got outplayed. And I think it's time that Fart
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Rooney and Omar Khan start to break some of those
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: old fucking habits that have started to plague this franchise.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: A little bit.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not going to.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: They got played. Joey Porter also played himself, though. I mean,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: did he really come out on top in any way?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: No, he didn't. But at the end of the day,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: we lost the top five.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Exactly, and we're Steelers fans, not Joey Porter Jr.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Fans.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I do not care about Joey Porter Jr.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I'm going to love to hate-watch the Cowboys even more
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: than we already have. And what's this about? He goes there,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, oh, my dad's a Cowboys fan,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: my mom's a Cowboys fan, my auntie's.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: My uncle's, they're all Cowboys fans.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I got a whole family of Cowboys fans. What the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: fuck are you talking about, dude?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: That was salt in the wound.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Remove senior from the Hall of Honor.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Charlie Batch disagrees with you.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I don't give a shit. Get his ass out.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Doobie, I saw you arguing with someone on Twitter the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: other day. Who was that?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of Twitter arguments.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: This was a prominent Pittsburgh, one of the Pittsburgh sports guys.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: You going after Mark Madden?
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: No, it wasn't as big as Madden. This was like C-level.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: You know they're all scum, and one of them said
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: something about being from Philly, and I was like, oh.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: this makes sense. You're from Philly.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who was it?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe Paul Zeiss. I don't remember.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: It was Paul Zeiss. That's exactly who it was.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I found out he's from Philly. I just unfollowed him,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: so I forget.
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: That's funny.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I like Paul Zeiss.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul Zeiss tweeted about how Temple won. And he
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, the good Pennsylvania team won today, yada, yada, yada.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And Doobie responds, oh, go figure, you're a Philly piece
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of shit.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: And he responded to Doobie.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he said like, oh, you probably hate my politics.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't even know your fucking.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Politics, dude. He said, and I'm woke.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even know about it. I have no
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: idea what this guy's politics are. I'm like, fuck you.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: He must have looked at your Twitter and seen you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: tweeting some nonsense and said, this guy's going to get
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: so mad if I tell him I'm woke.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I don't even think I responded to that one.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: That's kind of sick. Not to go against my own,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: but I backed Paul Zeiss there. That's sick.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on. You've got to have the interns back, Pat.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Come on. We're running a company here.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: You know his politics? Is he actually a woke guy?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I know two or three more responses and that definitely
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: would have came out from you. You would have found
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: something out and worked it in there somehow.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I literally said that and unfollowed him so I wasn't
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: expecting him to answer.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Disgusting.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Traders in Pittsburgh.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: Everywhere.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Everywhere.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: He is Philly. That's gross. What did you think about
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the Joey Porter Jr.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: News overall?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Sick of it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Doobie?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead.
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fuck. I mean.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: Doobie's favorite player.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I'm with Pat. I don't think we should have traded
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: him because that sets a precedent that players can just
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: do this to get traded. But I wanted to just
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: let him sit and find him. then franchise tag him,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: and then hopefully he's just out of the fucking league.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: It's one less fucking Penn State player, Joe Panu.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, well said. And not only that,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: but you get a– You could have said three words there.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: You get a third– you get a.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Sixth round pick in this next draft, which is kind of,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: you know, basically a wash, right? And then you get
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: a second round pick in the following year's draft, 2028's draft. Meanwhile,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: if you would have kept him and franchise tagged him
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: and traded him, you could have got something else in
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: a trade.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Or if he would have walked in free.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Agency, you would have got probably a third-round pick in
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: 2028's draft anyway.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly why Dallas is taking the chance because
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: they basically just traded a second-round pick for a third-round pick. Yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: because they're getting that third-round comp if Joey Porter Jr.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't sign.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: If he signs, then he's worth the second-round pick.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: And the same thing that we were going to do
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: to him. Like he's an idiot.
• 13:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Do you think this, do you think the Steelers are
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: even capable of playing man defense with the staff they
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: have right now? And not Joey Porter jr.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Well, Jalen Ramsey, broken wrist, Jamel Dean out with an ankle. No,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're capable.
• 13:33
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: He doesn't even like to play man. So that doesn't
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: really matter.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: He you're right, but he's, he's, He's been adaptable. That's
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: his thing, right, is he adapts to the strengths of
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: the defense. And I can't help but feel if Joey
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Porter had been on the field, we'd be playing a
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: lot more, man.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I think that's clear.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: I'm just tired of talking about it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Well, let's flush that down the toilet and talk about
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: the other.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Let's find the next turn to flush, huh?
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the next turn to flush.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Let's kick it over to ourselves for the game recap.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Another week. Steelers elected to defer. It is Cleveland's chance
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to show how real they are. Steelers' D holds them
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: right where they are, however. Three and out. Browns punt.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Rodgers with his chance now. What a beautiful, B-E-A, beautiful
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: drive this is. Probably the best.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Drive we will see in 2026.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: 17 plays, 78 yards, 9 minutes, 48 seconds. Capped by
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a 12-yard shovel pass. Touchdown to Roman Wilson. Steelers 7,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Browns nothing. Last drive of the first quarter as the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Steelers ate up all that clock, and the Steelers force
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: another quick Browns punt. On to the second quarter. The
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Steelers pinned up against their own end zone on the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: one-yard line after a good punt and three straight plays
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: from Jalen Warren go for 30 yards before Rodgers throws
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: a duck. Intercepts right around midfield, the Cleveland edge rusher
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: hit Rodgers in the arm, killing any chance of that throw.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Cleveland quickly converts this into a touchdown. Jaleel McLaughlin run
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: for 28 yards, tie game 7-7. Steelers with their second
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: possession of the quarter and continue to struggle. Browns force
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a three and out. Give the ball back to the Browns.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Deshaun and company once again waste no time. Another touchdown
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: score coming on four plays. This one a two-yard touchdown
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: run from Quint Sean Judkins. Browns 14, Steelers 7. Rodgers
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: driving down a touchdown now and Jalen Warren continues to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: have a good game on the ground bringing the Steelers
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: on the edge of the red zone but a third
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: down sack Knox Rodgers back to the 30-yard line.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Boz misses a 48-yard field goal.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Disaster. And the second quarter Browns continue to light the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: stadium on fire. 11th place, 62 yards. Finished off by
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a Harold Fannin touchdown. Browns 21, Steelers 7. Two-minute drill
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: for the Steelers. Thanks to a 49-yard reception by Roman Wilson,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the Steelers are able to put a field goal on
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the board before halftime. This one good from 31 yards.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Steelers 10, Browns 21. Brutal third quarter at Huntington Bank.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Let me list these possessions in the third quarter for you. Steelers,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: three and out.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Browns, three and out.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Steelers, three and out. Browns, TJ Watts, strip sack, fumble. Steelers,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: three and out. On to the fourth, score still 21-10 Cleveland.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And Deshaun is intercepted by rookie Robert Spears Jennings on
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a tip ball at the line of scrimmage. Steelers take
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: over down 11. Rodgers goes 77 yards over six plays.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: And Darnell Washington catches a laser from Rodgers 20 yards out.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Steelers go for two. Do not get it. Steelers 16,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Browns 21. Browns at a field goal in the next possession.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: 24-16 Browns now.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Rodgers and D.K. coming alive on this next drive, however.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: He finds D.K.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: For gains of 22. He finds D.K. for gains of 28.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Eventually, Rodgers bangs it to Muth from three yards out, touchdown,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: down two. Rodgers has his first quarterback sneak since COVID,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and the game is.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Tied at 24.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: However, as they have done all game and all season
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: so far, the Browns answer. There was enough time on
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the clock for them to get into field goal range,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and Sismite knocks a deep one in from 56 yards out,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and the Browns win the game of the century, 27-24.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: That's all from the lake.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Browns 27, Steelers 24 from Cleveland. Another shit game on
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a Thursday night in Cleveland. Pat, thoughts?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Well, McGingy, I.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm surprised we lost
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: on Thursday night on a division game. Let me also
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: start by saying some bullshit.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: Pat, we've literally never won that game in franchise history.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I know, but this is such a, like, the whole
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: staff is different.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: There's two coaches that are still around.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Like, what does it mean?
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: You know, it just doesn't make sense.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: You take out the second quarter of that game, Pat.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: That was the second quarter from hell. You take out
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the second quarter and it's a 21-6 Steelers win.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not wrong.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: That was a second quarter from hell. We saw TJ
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Watt yelling in the.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: That's pissed me off all week. All the stupid media
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: folks making a big deal about it. That is a
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: nothing burger. Less than a nothing burger. Rodgers and McCarthy...
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: going back and forth too. And yeah, like you said.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: McCarthy's getting caught on camera saying what a fucking asshole.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Aired so hard. I mean, I don't know if you
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: were watching it like, you know, with, with, you know,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: loud sound or anything. I was watching my living room
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and you could hear clear as day, you know, him
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: dropping that F bomb. I mean, it was, and then
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: they replayed it on the broadcast like a minute later.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't hear it. Our sound must not have
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: been loud enough.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he said, like, call the fucking play.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: When he couldn't get the play in.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, that's a nothing burger.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Now you got all these idiots who are trying to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: drive a wedge between McCarthy and Rogers. Yada, yada, yada.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I saw that Braden Fajoko on Twitter making a big
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: deal out of it. That guy's a fucking clown, dude.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: That guy pisses me off. And you got the national
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: media folks. The mouse. Pat, here's where I'm at now.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I think, as Steeler fans, we need to go back
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: to blaming the NFL. We need to stop... looking inward,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and we need to start looking outward. We need to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: stop blaming Rodgers, blaming McCarthy, blaming everyone else. And remember
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: when we would just blame the NFL and Goodell and
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: all of them. Can we just go back to that?
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: I think I know where you're leading towards right now, McGingey.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: And what better of a segue... That we could have
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: for Pat's stats.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know your stats.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I kept these quiet from you this week. You don't
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: even know.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: No, I swear to God.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Let's see if we're on the same page here.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Cam Hayward, I was watching this at lunch, was on
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: the Rich Eisen show. And he had talked about how– well,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: not pissed off, but he thinks it's not fair– that
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: any divisional game in general is played on a Thursday
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: night because one team clearly has an advantage, right?
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about some past stats. Browns have had a Thursday.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Night football home game in each of the past eight years.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Five of them have been divisional games. Four of them
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: have been against the Steelers. In those Thursday night football
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: games in the past eight years, there are eight no
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: in those games.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Go fucking figure, huh?
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Steelers have had three Thursday night football home games and
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: nine internal Thursday night football games in eight years. They're
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: two and one at home. So they've had three of
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: the last eight, three of the nine in the last
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: eight years were home games for the Steelers. They've been
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: on the road six times on Thursday night.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: That's a great start.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: So home teams last year on Thursday night football, were 11-5,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: and they won nearly 70% of games. So clearly there's
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: some advantage here. And up with Cam Hayward, the fact
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that you have divisional games that mean so much, right,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: that are so important, and you're letting things like, you know,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: traveling on a Thursday night or, like, going to Australia
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: or going to London or some bullshit like that, not
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: only are you putting one team at a disadvantage, but
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: you're removing a divisional team's home game.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: No, it's disgusting. Yeah. I'm looking for a stat here, Pat,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to back up the one you had. And I thought
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I had it saved here, and now I can't look.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: It is about how the Steelers play more road. It
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: was about back-to-back division games with the Thursday night football
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: game coming after a Sunday divisional game where the Thursday
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: night football game is on the road. And the Steelers have...
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the most instances of that in NFL history. And there
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: are four teams that don't have, that has never happened
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to at all. And of those teams are like the chiefs,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, a couple other ones, but I can't find
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: it too.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: But do you think if you, you can find that
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: for me?
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Say that again? It's okay.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: It's back-to-back games. So both division games, one is on
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: a Sunday, game one Sunday, game two Thursday. That second
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: divisional game, game two, being on the road, the Steelers
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: have more of those road games than any team in
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: NFL history.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: All right, let me see if I can do it
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: I saw it on X the Everything app.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah good luck yeah good luck.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: Pat give us your second stat.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: I need to run the fucking ball more mcgingy jalen
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: warren 17 for 93 yards averaging 5.47 yards per carry
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: in his last two games combined he's 34 for 220
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: at 6.47 yards per carry in the last two games, McGinji.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: He's also 20th in attempts, 9th in yards, and 4th
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: in yards per carry. Wow. He's 4th in yards per carry,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: and he's 20th in attempts.
• 24:14
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Feed him.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: It's insane.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Feed him.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Jalen Warren needs to get the ball. Rico Dowdle is,
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: I believe, expected to be back this week.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: And Mike McCarthy did say that they're going back to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: running back by committee.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: As long as it's, you know, it doesn't have to
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: be 90, 10 Jalen Warren, right. I don't think that's
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: sustainable either for 17 games and maybe the playoffs, but
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: you know, I'd like to see at a minimum 75, 25.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jalen Warren really should be getting the bulk
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: of the carries.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: I found the stat by the way.
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: Are you ready?
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: This is Mike Frazier's tweet on Twitter.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: He says, the Steelers have played five divisional games on
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Thursday night after playing a divisional game the preceding Sunday,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: tied with the Seahawks for the most. However, of those five,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: four have been on the road, giving the Steelers the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: highest percentage of road divisional Thursday games that followed a
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: divisional game the Sunday before. Also, The Steelers are the
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: only team to have played a road divisional game on
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a Sunday and a road divisional game the following Thursday.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to sit here and say, you know,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: that's that's why we lost. Obviously, that's not the case, but.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: It is. It's fucking annoying and it's inconvenient. And there's
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: a trend.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: And how could I, as a Steeler fan, not look
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: at these? Browns are 8-0 in Thursday night football games,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: five divisional games, four against the Steelers. How could I
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: look at these and think the NFL, you know, is
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: doing anything but trying to get the Browns some extra
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: help and get the Browns some extra wins?
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's their super is their Thursday night Super
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Bowl every year. And the numbers are backing it up
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: that the NFL has an agenda out to get us.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Even back-to-back seasons playing in Cleveland's on the road just
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: makes no fucking sense.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: Well, Sunday last year was Thursday with Jameis two years ago.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the snow globe.
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: Gotcha.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, correct.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: No, it's pathetic, Pat. And like I said, the NFL
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: is out to get us this year. And you know what?
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: It's so much easier and you're so much happier– when
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: you just lash out at Goodell and the NFL, rather
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: than admitting that your team isn't any good.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: And the libs too. The libs are ruining our quarterback.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Easy targets. Easy targets.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: And the mouse. And the mouse.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Well, that's, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Goodell, the NFL, the libs of the mouse.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: The libs are the mouse's army, McGingy.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: That's true.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: That's true. They do weaponize them. Although they're turning. They're
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: weaponizing the liberals.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 27:06
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Times are turning. Do you have another Pat stat?
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: This is two Pat stats relating to our special teams, McChinji.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Boswell has missed five field goals in his last eight
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: games and three field goals in four games so far
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Well, he's also missed two extra points. So in seven
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: of the last eight games, he's missed a kick dating
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: back to last year.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: This is a positive stat, though. Bill Burr. 51.8 yards
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: per punt. He's ninth in the league in average. That was,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, yards per punt on Sunday. 51.8 yards per
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: punt on Thursday against the Browns. But on the season
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: so far, he's ninth in yards per punt overall. And
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: he's tied in third for punts within the 20.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Yep. He's already over.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: He's two yards, over two yards above the record. He
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: said he'd set the record this year, didn't you, McJingis?
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was my prediction. So he's two yards higher
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: at this point?
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: The record is 57, an average of 57 yards per punt.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: You're not talking about net.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I'm talking, it's yards per punt.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Yes. 47 is the record from 1961. Bobby Joe Green,
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: 47 yards per punt. Right now, Bill Burr is at 49.4.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: That's gross distance.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: You're making it more complicated.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. The net is the record that everyone
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: talks about. Corliss Waitman.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: That's gross yards. No, you're talking gross.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I'm talking filthy. I'm talking nasty, filthy gross.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: 41.9.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Corliss Waitman is the record. Bill Burr is at... 42.6.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: So he is 0.7 higher than Corliss' record. But yeah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: he's booming the ball. He had a couple good ones
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: Sure, sure.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: And, you know, we got to give credit where credit's due.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. He was the bright spot.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Speaking of bright spots, you're not going to like this,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: but there are two players that I considered studs against
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: the Browns, McGinji.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I'm interested.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: TJ Watt and Jalen Warren.
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: They've earned it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: TJ did everything he could.
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: And Warren just runs hard.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: That incompletion TJ forced.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: My God.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: That was crazy.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: He'd do some shit like that every week.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a playmaker.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: It's like Crosby.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Crosby does some shit every game and you're just like, wow. Yeah,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: did we talk about the Stiffs?
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: No.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: No, I said, can we?
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Lost and Soft brothers. Boy, are they the most inconsistent
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: linebacking pairing maybe in NFL history. I mean, they had
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: a solid game against the Bengals. They were great against
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the Falcons, okay against the Patriots, and they were just
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: downright terrible this week. Downright terrible, Pat. Patrick Queen getting
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: exposed on camera on the All-22, just taking plays off,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: being absorbed in the blocks, Peyton Wilson doing the same thing.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: It was terrible.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: It was terrible, Pat.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Pat Queen made KC Concepcion look like prime Heinz Ward.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: It made No sense. Pat Queen's effort was not there.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: And like you said, inconsistent. That was my takeaway of like,
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: they really haven't made like any progress since they both
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: joined the team. It's just every year it's, you know,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: a little more consistent, but it's not there. I mean,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: they still can go out there and have a game
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: that looks like it's their first game in the Steelers uniform.
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: I can't go out there and say that.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: And I, Who knows what waking up that morning to
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: your teammate being traded to Dallas for a pick.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Does to the psychological, does to the psych of the defense. Oh,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: cry me a fucking river.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not crying you a river, and I'm not making excuses.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I'm acknowledging it, okay? Having said that, Patrick Queen and
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Peyton Wilson are– I can't go sit here and say
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: they're terrible players. I can't sit here and say they're
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: good players because sometimes they're good. And sometimes they're what
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: you saw on Thursday, just terrible, terrible, making zero impact
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: and being an absolute liability out there.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think they're good players that have way
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: too many bad games.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: That's a good way of putting it, Pat.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: It's like every two, three games, they're going to look
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: like they've never played football before, or they just don't care.
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing the same thing. Why don't you give us
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the next one?
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Where can I go with this? I'll let you–
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I'll do Boswell. I'll do Boswell. We were just talking
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: about his missed field goals. You know, in a close
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: game like this, that wasn't a chip shot by any means,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: but he makes that field goal. It's a completely different
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: ball game.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, and a third down sack bumps him up, you know,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: bumps him back 10 yards. They got sacked out of
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: field goal range later in the game.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: It wasn't all on Boz. Having said that, he needs
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: to get his shit together.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Are you concerned about Boz right now?
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: Yes, been concerned. Maybe not concerned is the right word, but.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Worried?
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: No, angry, upset. maybe worried. I mean, he is the
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: most expensive kicker in the league.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: I think he's second, right?
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Isn't, uh, no, they're, they're making him and Brandon Aubrey
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: are both making the same amount.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: Okay. Yeah.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Um, I, that is a tricky question cause I'm not,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I am worried about Boswell, but if you were to
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: ask me on, you know, Sunday against the Colts, would
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I treat to kick the plays. I'd have him kick
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: any differently.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: No.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Like if, if there was a 56 yarder, would I
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: question sending balls out there? No, but I am concerned.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Let's move on. Let's move on.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: The Rogers stats lie.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Rogers had a bad game, but you look at the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: stats and the box score and it doesn't look too
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: bad from him.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: He had a 300 or 299 yards. What, two touchdowns,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: two interceptions?
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Three touchdowns.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Three touchdowns, yep.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: And he had that QB sneak for the two-point conversion.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: You know that was his first quarterback sneak since 2020? Yeah.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. That old man really doesn't like getting hit.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: He looked high out there, Pat. Rodgers looked high as
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: a clam. And you know what?
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: It wasn't a Sunday 1 p.m.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Game. in good weather, Thursday night football, way past Roger's bedtime,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: just not locked in. He looked high.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: You're, you might be onto something with this big change.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: You're the only one who seems to be reporting on this.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: He looks high.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about your not Sunday in perfect weather.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: If the rain holds off this Sunday, it's a route
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: with the rain. I, I don't know.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's probably going to rain pretty hard.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, a Sunday 1 o'clock game with good weather,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: that's what we need. That's what we need every week
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: with Rodgers. Because maybe he takes his meds at a
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: certain time at night.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: Pat, Pat, his eyes were bloodshot.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: He looked high out there.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was defending, not defending him, but I
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: wasn't as harsh on him as some people on X,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: the Everything app, where I was a little more disappointed
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: in the offensive line at times, but there's no denying
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: he missed probably two touchdowns to DK Metcalf. He wasn't
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: moving around in the pocket well. The offensive line was
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: not great, but he walked into probably three of those sacks.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: He got sacked, what, five times?
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: He overthrew Darnell.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: He overthrew Darnell. He missed a couple balls.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: He missed Muth in the end zone.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: He missed wide-open DK on the last play of the
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: game and said he's throwing a jump ball on quadruple
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: coverage to Roman Wilson.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: It was just– it was a bizarre game because the
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: first drive looked like one of the best drives we
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: had seen in a while. And, you know, the last.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Drive– It was the best drive.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: It was a 17-play, 10-minute drive.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but there were a few penalties that kind of
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: bailed us out. That's why I'm hesitant to say the
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: best drive I've seen in a while. And then that
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: two-point conversion drive was, you know, fantastic too. I know
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: it didn't start out great going to– overthrowing Darnell, like
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: you said. I don't know. Rodgers made some vintage Rodgers
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: plays on Thursday, but he also just kind of played
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: like shit.
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: It was not good. Give us another stiff.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: You're going to make me.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I'll save the last for you. Rayshon Jenkins. Rayshon Jenkins
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: played like absolute dog shit. He was replaced by rookie
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Robert Spears Jennings. and yeah horrible that fucking blown assignment
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: that led to that touchdown on the left side of
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: the field there was that was that the boston am
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: i thinking of the.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: The boston yeah daylon everett in coverage.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: And uh robert spears jennings came in and played i
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: thought a pretty solid game.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: First career interception.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: First career interception it it was a little uh He
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: got a little lucky on it, right, tipping Jack Sawyer's fingers,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: which was the right call.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know how they missed that at the line, though.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: After watching the replay, I mean, it clearly tipped him.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: I thought it tipped him, too, just live watching it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Crazy.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: So Steelers should be maybe possibly getting Elliott back, Deshaun
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Elliott back this week or the following week, right? So
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Rayshon Jenkins' time is going to be very limited in
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: the near future.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: And the final stiff, this is what I get. This
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: is what I get, Pat, for declaring him a future
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: top five offensive lineman in Steeler history. The anchor, IMAX,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: just not a good game from him. Need to see more.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: You know, second career game. Looked good in the run game.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Had a couple, you know, whiff blocks in the passing game.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Did not look good in pass, bro. Really, really at all.
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: But, you know, we can build on this, Pat. We
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: can build on this. He's going to turn it up
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: this week.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I texted Aircraft after the game, and I'm like,
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: you know, I guess if there is any sort of
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: kind of positive news is I don't think Dylan Cook
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: would have done much better. No.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: And he looked good in the run game.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: I thought the left offensive side, at first I was
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: like really pissed at the offensive line, one of the
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: worst games ever, yada, yada. And then I went back
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: and watched it.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that bad.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: No, yeah.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: I think the left side of the line held up
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: pretty well, especially in the run game. Um, just that,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: that right side with, with Hoffman and IMAX.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Roger's got to put more together. Crouching tiger, hidden dragon review,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: crouching tiger. Last week we had Harold fan and Harold
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: fan and did catch that, uh, short touchdown throw. What
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: did he finish with, with here? Three catches, 27 yards
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: and a touchdown. It was Denzel Boston, Casey conceptual on
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: that really killed us in the receiving game.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: Um, Hidden Dragon was ourselves. Pat, would you say we
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: beat ourselves this week?
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I'd say when the Browns have, you know, 60 penalties
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: for 2,000 yards in one game and you can't win,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: that's probably beating yourself.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: That fucking sucks.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: And I had my quiet, not official Hidden Dragon that
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: ended up, Getting hurt, Mason Graham, that was going to
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: be a huge injury.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: For the Browns.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did they say how long he's going to be out?
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't see anything.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: Quarterway through the season now, Pat, how are we feeling
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: at 2-2?
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: I still don't know what the fuck's going on. I mean,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: week one, I felt like we were Super Bowl contenders.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Week two, I felt like this is the worst team
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: we've ever had. Week three, I felt like we were
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl contenders. Going against the Browns. I don't know
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: what the fuck is going on here.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to stop expecting things to just go
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: along for the ride, just ride passenger this year, I think, Pat.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about, I guess, I was going
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: to say the offensive and defensive coordinators, but I guess
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy and Pat Graham?
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to figure it out.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: I like both Mike McCarthy and Pat Graham. I think
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: we're going to figure it out, Pat.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about what they've done so far, though?
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: as a whole.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I think Pat Graham has been good. I think he's
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: been what this defense has needed. I think TJ has
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: stepped it up again and has reverted back to form.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: And I think the offense needs to figure it out.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Do you think Pat Graham? So we are one of the,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: I saw a stat. We're like 26th in the league
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: in quarterback pressures right now, which is obviously down tremendously
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: from last year. Is this a matter of, the Jimmy's
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: and Joe's just figuring out? Or, you know, at what
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: point does Pat Graham need to start blitzing more? Because
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: he really, he's been pretty confident he can get home with,
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: you know, blitzing four people. And we just aren't getting
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: pressure on the quarterback this year.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Well, the Browns, credit to them, had a good game plan.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: The Bengals had the same game plan. You know, it's
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: dink and dunk, dink and dunk, dink and dunk. And then,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: you know, Pat Graham's game plan has kind of let
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: him do that. You know, eventually they'll make mistakes or,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: you know, you'll make a tackle, get a stop. It's
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: worked for the most part. I say, you know, I
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: think Pat Graham has been pretty, like, I don't think
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: he's going to stick this defense in a box. You know,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to adapt and, you know, we'll
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: see changes. But who knows if they'll blitz more, Pat.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: One thing I do want to see, though, is Herbig
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: needs to be put in better spots and he needs
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: to have more success. I think when they've been pairing
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: him up with Jack Sawyer, it's, you know, he's getting
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: doubled and they're leaving Sawyer one-on-one over there. Like he's
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: not being put in good spots. So I think that's
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: the one thing I'm looking forward.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: And he's been doing a lot in a lot of different,
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, in that two five that we like to
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: talk about on here, he's back in past pro more
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: than he has been in his career.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So past coverage, excuse me.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: And that's something too, like you said, just putting him
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: in a better position to succeed and capitalize on his
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: past rush.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: That's been so good so far in his career.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Anything else you want to say before we go to commercial?
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just, I'm not blaming the defensive struggles on
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: Pat Graham this week. I think it was more Jimmy's
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: and Joe's, but my line of questioning was kind of,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: the answer I was sort of fishing for McGingy is
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: if this is going to be a trend throughout the
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: rest of the year, I want to see Pat Graham
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: step in and dial up some plays, get some pressure.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I think we'll see that, Pat.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, this defense was designed when, you know, you
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: put pressure on the quarterback. And when you're not doing that,
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: it looks pretty shitty. But, all right, that's all I
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: have to say. Why don't you stick with us through
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: this break? We're going to get into some Colts preview,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: scouting reports, some betting advice, and, yeah, you know the drill.

• 45:46
  Speaker 3: All right, you sexy fucks.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: Thanks for sticking around. All right, McGingy, we know the
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: joke by now. It's going to be slight chance of
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: rain at 1 o'clock on Sunday down at Ironsfield. Steelers 2.5-point favorites.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: Over-unders head at 44.5 points. Why don't you tell me, McGingy,
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: why do we hate the Colts?
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Well, for starters, Pat, let's not ignore the history of
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: this franchise. They used to be the Baltimore Colts. But
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: we don't need to go down that rabbit hole. I
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: think we did that last year. I want to bring
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: attention to that fat loser, Seth DeFlo. Hey, buddy, maybe
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: wishing injury on Aaron Rodgers last year was a bad idea.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe wishing harm on someone isn't very Christ-like for someone
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: who's a worshiper. Colts were 7-1 before you did that.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: 7-1.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: And then you released that stupid video wishing injuries on
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: my quarterback, and you lost eight of your last nine.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Colts finished under. 500, and you didn't have a first-round pick. Ha-ha,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: screw you, buddy. An impressive performance, if I'm being honest.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: It all falls on your shoulders, Seth. Don't you ever
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: wish injury on my quarterback again. And, Pat, I'm making
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: a promise here, okay? I'm making a promise. If Rogers
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: gets hurt this week, if Seth the Flow cranked up
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: some voodoo to injure my quarterback, I will be hiring
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: an Etsy witch, and it will not be good for you, Seth,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: you disgusting rat.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: Pat, what kind of spells could we cast on this guy?
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: You'd be coming after Seth the Flow.
• 47:34
  Speaker 10: He's a piece of shit.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: How about Dickius Flaccidus?
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: I don't think that guy ever gets any pussy.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: How about ejaculo prematurnum?
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: I bet you he already suffers from that, Pat.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: Infectious hepatitis.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, hepatitis. The Hep C witch will give him hepatitis.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: That's a good one, Pat. Which one? Hepatitis A, hepatitis B?
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Hey, I'm not paying the witch anything extra to make
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: that happen.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: I will be covering this witch, Pat. I will 100%
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: be hiring an Etsy witch if my quarterback goes down
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: under Seth DeFlo's watch after he wishes injury on him.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm washing my hands of this.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: We got to think of a good spell. Everyone listening
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: out there, let me know. If you got any thoughts, ideas,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I'm tossing this one out to the listeners, okay?
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, moving on to the scouting report. The Colts are
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: coming into this game on dead legs after spending last
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: weekend in London time. However, they are coming off two
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: good wins, the first being over division rival Houston Texans.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Colts are similar to the Steelers in the sense that
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: they're still trying to figure out who they are, if
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: they're any good, if they're bad. Daniel Jones does lead them,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: you know, 26th-ranked passing offense, averaging about 175 yards per game.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: The wide receiver core on this team can be partial
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: to blame as well, and they spent money in the
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: offseason out in Keenan Allen and Darius Slayton, but the
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: injury bug has left Alec Pierce out, who they gave
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: a big contract to. Jonathan Stahler's still one of the
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: best backs in the league that's how this team's been
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: able to stay in games they're averaging 110 yards per
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: game on the grounds which is good for 14th in
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: the league the Colts have also done a good job
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: of finding the end zone so even though they're 25th
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: in total yards they're They do average 25.5 points per game,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: which is good for 13th. Defensively, they're a problem. It's
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: a similar story to the Colts of past. Even with
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: star cornerbacks Sauce Gardner and Traverius Ward, they're getting gashed,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: allowing almost 400 yards per game, 31st in the NFL.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Only the Lions are allowing more yards than this defense.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: And the defense struggles to generate turnovers. The Colts have
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: a minus-two turnover differential. And I don't have a stat
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: for this, but if you watch the Colts tape, you
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: can see they are a terrible tackling defense.
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: They struggle to tackle. They struggle to stop the run.
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: Not a good formula for winning football games, Pat.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Well said, McGingey.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Well said.
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking at their roster right now. I mean,
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: obviously they have Tyler Warren as well. Mo Alley-Cox, I
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: forgot he was on the Colts there. It looks like
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: Josh Downs and Keenan Allen are set to be wide
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: receivers one and two there, huh?
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and let me tell you this. Penn State fans,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Colts fans, and Tyler Warren fantasy owners have a problem
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: with how the Colts are using Tyler Warren this year.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I'll get into that.
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: Doobie, why don't you give us the injury report real quick?
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Sure, fellas. We'll start with the Steelers. Unfortunately, we all
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: heard Coach McCarthy let us know Derek Harmon's going to
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: the IR. Jamel Dean is doubtful with that ankle. Maybe
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: we'll get lucky.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: You heard it from Pat's Inside Source last week.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: I told you. Ankle the size of a grapefruit.
• 51:24
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: We did hear Deshaun Elliott.
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: What's the medical diagnosis for a grapefruit, Doobie?
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: We'll have to get back to you on that. A grinkle.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: He had a grinkle. That's Latin. Yeah.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: Pig Latin.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Want me to look up what the pig Latin word
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: for grapefruit is? Hey, chat GPT. Just kidding. I use grok.
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Well, that's all we got for this. Wow.
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 52:00
  Speaker 16: Wow.
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: The big Latin word for grapefruit is a fruit gay.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: That's, that's, that's disgusting term.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: I'm mad. I Googled that.
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: Go ahead, Jimmy. Sorry for interrupting you.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Fucking pig Latin. So Colts defensive end, Arden Key, he
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: will be out. Keenan Allen, actually, Pat, I know you
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: just mentioned him. He is questionable to play. And, yeah,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: their other starting wide receiver, Alec Pierce, is obviously he's
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: on IR. He is not eligible to come back until
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: October 25th, so he will definitely be out this week.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: $ 100 million man, Alec Pierce.
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: Has Alec Pierce... Reached the status of super honky yet?
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Not quite.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Probably not.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: Not quite. That's earned, not given.
• 53:02
  Speaker 7: True.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: He's very close.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: No, I'm thinking George Kittle.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Gronk.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: I think those are like mega super honkies.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we might need to update the tier list of
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: super honkies.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: We're talking about a wide receiver here. Like this guy
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: is still, you know.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's just not a super honky. He can be
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: a honky.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Well, we're all.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, we don't give out participation trophies in the
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: honky games, dude. Just because he's a wide receiver.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: This is a wide receiver, boys.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: So is Swiffer.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Don't get me started.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I almost had you there. Anyways, Pat, what were we
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: saying before the injuries?
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: You were talking about– I don't know. Tyler Ward's fantasy
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: owners are upset.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: All they're doing this year. I watch all these Colts games.
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: I got Tyler Ward on my fantasy team.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: They're just throwing him these short, dink and dunk, you know,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: little bubble screens. Like, he's not a downfield receiver this year.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: I think that if– and where I'm going with this, Pat,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: is I think if Pat Graham comes out in that soft,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: soft defense that we've seen the first three weeks, it's
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: going to be a lot of Tyler Ward this week.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're going to be fucking cheering him and
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor on in the stands, huh?
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: You fucking loser. I might bench him.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: You should bench him.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: I don't have a tight end on my team, though,
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: and I don't have another running back.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: Well, I know TJ Hawkinson. He's projected to have a
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: big week. He's on the waiver wire right now.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm number one on the waiver wire. I'm not
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: picking up TJ Hawkinson.
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: So I guess you just fucking want the students to
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: lose then.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: You know what? If you want to make that conclusion,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: you're stupid, but you're allowed.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: That's fucking insane, dude. It's just the second fucking week
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: I got to watch the Steelers play at home with
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: the fucking owner of the.
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: I'm not rooting for him.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not rooting. I just have to play them, Pat.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: No.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I'm fighting for.
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm fighting for.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: I'll be playing DK Metcalf against Sauce Gardner.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: You don't hear me complaining.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would too. If I had DK, you want
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: to trade me DK?
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll trade you DK for Jonathan Taylor.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then I'll sit Jonathan Taylor this week.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: That's stupid. That's stupid.
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: You're an idiot.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: And then you trade him back to me?
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Actually?
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: No.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: I would do that.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: You're not getting him back.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, then I can't do it. I'm playing against
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: you this week.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: You realize that, right?
• 55:42
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do realize that.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying what I'm saying.
• 55:46
  Speaker 5: I would trade you Jonathan Taylor for DK Metcalf.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: For this week.
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: You're not doing it.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: And he'll be on my bench.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: You don't even want me to start a Steeler.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: I'll make that trade.
• 56:01
  Speaker 5: What happens if I pick up Roman Wilson and start him?
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Go ahead? Maybe I will. Yeah, you should.
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: Maybe I'll use my first in the waiver wire position
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: to take out Roman Wilson.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, please do.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe I will.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: Interested? Am I interested?
• 56:18
  Speaker 8: No.
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: Obviously the big loss for the stewards this week, no
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: Derek Harmon.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that sucks.
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: And a week against Jonathan Taylor as well.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: That'll be– yeah, that'll be huge. So who do you
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: elevate then, McGingy?
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Rubio or– What's that?
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: It's got to be Rubio. We got to see him
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: this week.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: What about Seabass, Sebastian Joseph Day?
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I think– Sebastian Joseph Day will get, you know,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: obviously more playing time.
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: But I think getting a roster spot, it's got to
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: be Gabe Rubio.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, a team like Indianapolis that has a terrible
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: passing attack, I would imagine the Steelers stack the box
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: quite a lot. I would expect them to roster Gabe
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: Rubio for this game. I have the stats here too, Pat,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: of the Steelers running defense with Harmon and without Harmon.
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's hear it. This is from last year or
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: from this year.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: And last year?
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: This is both.
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess he's played this year.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: With Derek Harmon on the field, the teams are averaging
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: 91 rushing yards per game. Without Derek Harmon, teams are
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: averaging 165 rushing yards per game. That's a difference of
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: 75 yards per game rushing. Yeah. Not good, Pat. Not
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: good against a week where you're playing a team with
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: a deficient passing attack and Jonathan Taylor getting carries.
• 58:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: No, I know.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely a concern.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Who knows? I hope that it'll be different. I think
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Patrick Graham probably is aware of this. We did beef
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: up with Sebastian Joseph Day, who has played well for
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: the first couple of games. I don't know. We'll see.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, though.
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: That other backup who got paid needs to start showing up.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Neither of those guys have sacks so far this year.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Keanu Benton has been pushed around left and right. They're
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: still using him at nose tackle.
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Pat.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: And I had mentioned Seabass. I was brain fart. I
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: was thinking of Kevin Jobity Jr.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: Jobity.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: Jobity, yeah. He's another person we have stashed. I believe
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: he's on the practice squad as of right now.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Kevin Djibouti.
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: Djibouti, yeah.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: He made the roster.
• 58:57
  Speaker 17: Yes.
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, is he on the active roster?
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: He made it.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: I know he made the team, but he got moved
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: to the practice squad.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. I wasn't keeping up
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: with Djibouti.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: I'm always on the Djibouti.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: If you're wondering, Pat, how Jonathan Taylor has done against
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: the Steelers in the past, four career games. Last year
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: with Derek Harmon, we held him to 14 carries, 45 yards,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: no touchdowns. 2024. Two years ago, 88 yards on 21
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: carries and a touchdown. 2022, 86 yards on 20 carries
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: and a touchdown. And 2020, he had two touchdowns, 74 yards.
• 59:43
  Speaker 5: So he's never had a 100-yard game on the Steelers.
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: I think we're probably looking at like.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: 60, 70 yards and a touchdown if we want to
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: win this game.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: How concerned are you overall about Jonathan Taylor just breaking
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: open this game and dashing us?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: It could happen.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just– I'm not– as far as concern, if I'm
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, I'm definitely game-planning for Jonathan Taylor. Concern as
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: a fan of can we stop Jonathan Taylor, I'm not
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: all that concerned.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: I think they can key on him. I think they
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: would do a good job stopping him.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: I'm very concerned. Yeah, I bet. Tell me why, Pat.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: Is it Derek Harmon?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: Well, it's Derek Hartman, and I just– I don't know.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, they don't do much else. I feel like
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: I– the Colts, I mean, I feel like I've seen
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: this play out many times before at Heinz Field.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: So, you know.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Well, here's how Daniel Jones has done against the Steelers.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: 0 for 3 in his career. Last year he was
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: 31 of 50. They threw the ball 50 times last year.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: 31 of 50, one touchdown, three interceptions, 342 yards.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: And he had two fumbles as well.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: So they did gash us last year through the air.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: 2024 with the Giants, he had no touchdowns, one pick,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: 264 yards. And 2020 COVID year, two touchdowns, two picks,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: 279 yards. Never won.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: Well, why don't we get into some Pat's keys to victories?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Tell me, Pat.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: I have four this week because I think there's a
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: lot they're going to need to do. Not that it's
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: some crazy hard matchup, but you got to create turnovers
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: first and foreskin. Four interceptions, three fumbles in four games
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: for Daniel Jones. So he has seven turnovers in four
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: games as of right now. He's turning the ball over
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: like crazy. Last year, we talked about this. Steelers caused
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: six turnovers, three interceptions, and two Daniel Jones fumbles. fumbles
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: josh downs had a fumble as well so this is
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: a team where if you don't have maybe at least
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: two three turnovers you're putting yourself in a bad position.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah couldn't agree more we need to win that turnover
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: battle baby.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Another one uh get ahead early right get.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Ahead early points points points for.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: Staniel jones to throw the ball if you get if
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: you get up you know 10 points in the second
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: quarter i mean that's a great spot to be in And,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: you know, just don't take your foot off the gas.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: Points, points, points.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: The best way to defend Jonathan Taylor is to keep
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: him on the sideline, McGee.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: Points, points, points.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: Let's get the 2-5 out. Let's pressure Daniel Jones and
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: get some extra run stoppers. I want to see three
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: outside linebackers on that field. The majority of the game,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: they don't have anyone in terms of receiving that really
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: scares me. tyler warren potentially but apart from that i
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: see no reason why you can't really lean into that
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: set with the three outside.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 5: Linebackers yeah the uh four three.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah that two five we love we got to capitalize
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: on turnovers as well like gg it's not enough we
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: saw this you know last week we saw this quite
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: a bit in the pit pit football game two different
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: teams obviously but Grading turnovers is not enough. You got
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: to capitalize on the turnovers. Steelers in general in the
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: red zone, they're 28th in the league in red zone
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: touchdown percentage at 44.44% through four games, right? If that
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: was their season average, 44%, that would be their worst
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: mark since 2019.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Yikes.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Yikes. And I like the way the offense is trending,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: but yeah, they need to figure it out.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: And it's been, strangely enough, it's been the third and manageable,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: like two to seven, two to six, third down.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: That's where they've struggled.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, they've been getting in third and manageable, but
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: they just can't pick up four, five, six yards.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I would like to throw the first two
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: weeks out of the window and judge this team based
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: on the last two weeks.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of it, too, and you saw
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: this more in the first two weeks, to your point,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: was Aaron Rodgers' tendency to just air it out for
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: 30 yards in the air on third down when it
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: doesn't need to happen. Like, I feel like week one
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: and two, we saw that quite a bit. Oh, it's
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: third and six. Let me try to hit DK for
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: a 40-yard gain.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited to watch a football game this week, Pat.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: I think our offense is going to bring it.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: Well, if you think our offense is going to bring it,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: why don't you tell us your score prediction, McJingy?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: 31-20, Steelers.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: 31-20, 11-point victory.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: I think it's a comfortable win this week, 31-20 Steelers.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: I'm going a different route.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: I'm going 27-24 Steelers. Yep, think it's going to be
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: a close game. I think Jonathan Taylor is going to
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: have a great game. I think there's going to be three,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: four turnovers that the Steelers are going to cause on defense,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: and they're just not going to be able to capitalize.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Wow. That's a close game, Pat.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, Pat knows.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: Pat's aware.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: Moving on to McGinchey's hot lead. I'm on a streak here,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: and it's not going the right way. So this is
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: the show-stopping week. We need to hunker down, and we
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: need to win. Win, win, win. Six and five now
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: last week. We had Jags-Bengals over. Jags had 10 penalties
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: for 100 yards in the first half. Really got screwed
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: out of points there time and time again. This week
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: we're going for a twofer. And the first one is
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Steelers minus two and a half. I am locked in
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: this week. I think this team's going to roll over
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: the Colts. The second one is to be determined. I
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: need to wait until the slate shakes out. I need
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: to see where the money is moving. And I'm going
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: to release a pick on Friday that will be the
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: official pick for this week. So look at my Twitter.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: The pick will be given out today. first one Steelers
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: minus two and a half. And the second one, I'm
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: really going to put some effort into this one and
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a winner.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: I like it. I like it.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: Just, just stay tuned. Look for it on Friday. I'll,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: I'll make sure everyone sees it. How should we get
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: to the grass interview?
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: Good call.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: Good call. Let's get to our conversation with Phil, the
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: King of grass.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: The grass expert. You know, we're just grass enthusiasts. He's
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: the grass expert. Kick it on over to ourselves.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 10: Does your fucking kick not work anymore? Are you tired
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 10: of feeling like less of a man?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 18: This is four-time Baranaco, Allegheny County Ultimate Fighting Champion Rip LaRocca.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: And I'm here to talk to.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 10: You about a problem affecting a lot of men out there.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 18: A reptile dysfunction. If your dick can't get hard, that
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 18: means you're a fucking pussy. And everyone on the streets
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 18: could be looking to take a piece of your ass.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 18: But don't worry, sissy boy. I got the perfect solution
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 18: to you. Rhino Rick's Extreme Rhino Thrust. Four rhinos had
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 18: to die to make just one of our pills. If
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 18: that doesn't make you rock fucking hard, then I can't help.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 19: The FDA can suck my balls. They don't care about.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 18: Getting your dick rock fucking hard.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 19: All they care about is polluting America with their corporate bullshit.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 10: That's why I said, fuck the FDA.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: Fuck the FDA.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 10: And I said, fuck PETA too.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: Fuck you too, PETA.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 10: You know what PETA's short for? Pedophile.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 8: And I'll be goddamn if I'm promoting pedophilia with my
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 8: fucking pills.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 19: So give Rick the Rhino a call if you want
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 19: to walk around with your dick.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 10: Harder than fuck.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 8: Because I'm still with the only proven 100% placebo-based erectile
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 8: dysfunction treatment.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 10: It's not placebo if it fucking works.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: And we talked about it a few times on this
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: show already, but Heinz Field got a new grass system
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: this year. You know, his complaints mounted up last year,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: specifically from Boswell. And you all know Pat Doobie and
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: I are grass enthusiasts only, not grass experts. Christ, grass
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: is already getting to me. So to join us here
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: today is grass expert Big Phil. Big Phil, thanks for
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: coming on. Round of applause here.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 13: Hey, hey.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Big Phil.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: The grass king let's talk some grass big phil as
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: you know uh well you know what for starters let
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: me ask you this why don't you fill the people
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: in big phil on your background and and how you
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: became a grass expert Oh, yeah.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: While you're doing that, Phil, I'm going to enjoy some
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: grass over here myself.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 7: Please do. I would expect nothing less.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been mowing grass my whole life, man. Went
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: to college, got a degree in grass, and I did
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 6: my internship for five years down stadium, down Heinz. And
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 6: I was fortunate enough to work there. It's a cool gig.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 6: We'll be in landscape now, but I got a nice
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 6: behind the scenes of how the stadium operates, how, how
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 6: things go in the NFL and in college, as you guys.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 7: Know, multi-purpose stadium.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 6: So yeah, it's been about 12 years total in the
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 6: industry now.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: Cross expert. Like, like we fucking said now, Phil, Can
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: you tell us a little bit about this new system
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: this year, how it differs up from the one they
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: were using years past?
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, really, the only difference is the type of grass
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 6: or sod itself, you know, root zone system, drainage system,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 6: all that stuff still the same. Historically, Heinz has had
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 6: Kentucky blue. For the past 20 plus years, we saw
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 6: a trend around the league the last five years or
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 6: so of teams, especially in the north, switching to Bermuda grass.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 6: Really where that shift happened was when somebody started growing
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 6: sod on plastic.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 7: Just a quick background.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 6: The Bermuda is grown on a normal turf farm and
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 6: it's harvested like it would be ready to ship to
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 6: the stadium.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 7: And then they actually ship it to another farm.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 6: Farm or area of a farm and they lay it
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 6: on like a plastic sheeting on top of the soil.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 6: And what happens is the roots of the Bermuda, um,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 6: you know, they kind of head downward, um, for the
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 6: soil and they hit that plastic and have nowhere to go.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: So they intertwine, right. And they get super tight and
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 6: bound and woven. And that kind of makes the sod bulletproof,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 6: tear proof. Um, so it's holding up a lot stronger. Um,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 6: and then it just gets, Yeah, it gets harvested like
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 6: the normal Kentucky bluewood at an inch and three quarter depth.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 6: So it has some soil on the bottom.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: So is Kentucky bluegrass grown a little differently then?
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, a little bit.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 6: They have different growth types. Kentucky blue is a cool
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 6: season grass. Bermuda is a warm season grass. So Kentucky blue, it's...
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 6: It's rhizominous, so it tillers underground and shoots roots out
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 6: underground and they pop up, whereas Bermuda stoloniferous and kind
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 6: of grows on top of the ground. It's really leggy
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 6: and kind of intertwined. It's a lot stronger. And then
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 6: when you throw in the addition of growing it on plastic,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 6: I think a lot of people were seeing success with that.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 6: The challenge was being a warm season grass. It was
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 6: predominantly present in the south. Southern NFL stadiums, baseball, SEC, college,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: stuff like that. So I think really Philly and then
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: Kansas City were the first two northern teams to experiment
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 6: with the Bermuda grass in the winter. Um, essentially what
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: happens is it stops growing. It goes dormant, uh, late
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: into the fall. And then, um, you know, it, it's
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 6: kind of dormant. It'll go off color, but they have
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 6: the ability to paint and diet. Um, now guys are
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 6: keeping a dream with, yeah, grow lights and stuff like that.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: Cause that's the type of grass that they have down.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Like you said, down South. So down at like Augusta
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: and down at the golf courses where they stay, I mean,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: they spend Augusta alone spends millions in green paint a year.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they actually don't even paint it down there at Augusta.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: They just overseed with perennial rye. So the Masters is
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 6: played on 100% perennial ryegrass, but it gets overseeded right
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 6: now in the fall. And then that perennial rye has
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 6: all winter and spring to germinate and they'll play the
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 6: Masters on perennial rye and it dies off in the
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 6: heat of the summer and that Bermuda comes back. So
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 6: there's times of year Augusta looks like a concrete driveway.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: You just never see it.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 6: So that's the same type of surface, you know, being
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 6: used in the Bermuda grasses and the Tahoma 31s and stuff.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 6: But the teams up north found that, you know, even
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 6: if it goes off color, the playability of it is
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 6: so much stronger. So it's worth having. And they've gotten
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: good now to where the only two teams I'm aware
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 6: of in the east that are playing on Kentucky Blue
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: or Green Bay and Buffalo's new stadium and Denver has
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 6: it out west. But everybody else is on Bermuda if
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 6: they have natural grass now.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 5: Right, and I'm imagining that Bermuda is a little bit
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 5: more expensive then, huh?
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 5: That's probably why it took Rooney a little bit of
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 5: time to switch.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 6: 100%, yeah. I don't remember exactly the cost. I think
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: it was running close to a quarter million total resod
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 6: with the Bermuda. That was seven, eight years ago, so
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 6: I'm sure it's probably more now. But yeah, it definitely
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 6: runs higher.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, as expected.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, teams are having to spend a lot more with
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 6: multi-purpose stadiums and events.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 7: I mean, Philly had a.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 6: Field in there for the first couple preseason, I think
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 6: the first regular season game.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 7: They actually tore out the World Cup field, put in a.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 6: Preseason field, and then they just had an ACDC concert
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 6: Tuesday of last week. They cut the field out, laid
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 6: the new Bermuda, and they played on it in the
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 6: rain against the Rams on Sunday. So just a ton
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 6: of sodding going on around the league.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 5: Pat's got a question for you.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this might be a stupid fucking question, Phil, but
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: what type of grass is most common in our front
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: and backyards in Pittsburgh? Is it one specific type?
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: There's a good bit of bluegrass up there, but the fescues,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 6: like tall fescue and stuff like that is pretty popular
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: just in like your common areas or your, you know,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 6: front yards in Pittsburgh. Kentucky bluegrass is considered like the
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 6: Cadillac of, you know, nicer grasses, cool season grasses. It's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 6: considered the most wear tolerant grass of the cool season grasses.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 6: With that being said, it's not the most wear tolerant,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 6: you know, overall when you consider some of the warm
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 6: season grasses like Bermuda.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: I'll piggybacking off that, Pat, you sparked something. What's the,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: what's the difference? Like you work for the Steelers, you
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: work on your lawn. How are those treated differently?
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: Not a whole lot.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 6: The same cultural practices, obviously mowing is obvious. And then
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 6: the fertilizers are, Um, there's a lot more, um, chemicals
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 6: that go down, um, on high end, you know, stadiums,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 6: golf courses, uh, fields like that. Um, there's, you know,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 6: disease prevention, um, chemicals that go down.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 5: There's like AIDS probably pretty much.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: There's blood.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 7: Yep. Fungicides, um, stuff like that.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: You get like a lot of hot, humid nights in Pittsburgh, um,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 6: after it rains and stuff. And it's just a hotbed
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 6: for diseases, you know, pithium red spread dollar spots, um,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 6: stuff like that to take over. So, interesting side programs
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 6: yep uh and then just uh you know a lot
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 6: more watering um irrigation programs set up um stuff like that.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah a couple this is a two-parter phil first
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: first one's a little uh i think i know the
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: answer to this but you're talking about current events in
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: in grass and stadiums are you just like watching sporting
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: events with a hard dick just staring at the grass
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: like oh look what they're fucking.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 7: Doing first thing i look at You never watch it
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 7: the same, man.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 6: First TV comes on, and I'm like, we're looking at
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 6: the field and talking about it amongst old buddies and stuff,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 6: and you're wondering what happened.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: That's kind of a thankless job, too, because people probably
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: don't text you and be like, wow, grass looks good today.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 5: But people probably text you when Boswell slips and misses
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 5: a field goal.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, 100%. Yeah.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 7: Field looks like shit, you know. We know Pitt played
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 7: in the rain last night, but what the fuck, you know.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: And Phil, this is a question more about the trajectory
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: of the NFL. You see a lot of players bitching
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: about just turf, right? And artificial turf, not grass. Can
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: you explain briefly kind of the differences for someone who
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: hasn't played, you know, professional sports on what the turf
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: might be from the grass and where do you see
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: this going in the future? Do you see all the
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: stadiums go into grass?
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a huge topic right now because of the
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 7: World Cup, right?
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 6: So the NFL players have been begging for this, and
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 6: then FIFA came in and just put it right under
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 6: their nose, especially stadiums indoors like Arlington in Texas, at
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 6: Jerry's World, SoFi.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 7: We saw it in Atlanta, too.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 6: FIFA required the game be played on grass, so these
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 6: stadiums had the challenge of trying to figure out how
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 6: do we get natural grass indoors right now. A lot
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: of them have retractable roofs and stuff to help with
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 6: natural sunlight and airflow and everything but they really revamped
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 6: these stadiums to be able to accommodate um a turf
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 6: field for not only just one game but uh months
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 6: of you know how long the world cup lasted so
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 6: the players you know were sitting there watching um you
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 6: know messy run around in texas thinking why can't we
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 6: have the same thing so yeah i will say this
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 6: it is 100 possible to have a turf in every
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 6: stadium indoor or out um however It's not really as
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: practical as people think. Obviously, the money's there with the
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 6: league and these stadiums and stuff, but the amount of
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 6: events in and out of these places and concerts, and
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 6: they're just packing more and more into these stadiums. It's
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 6: really not practical, which is why you see teams like
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 6: you know the cardinals and raiders you know rolling the
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 6: fields outside um you know and a lot of these
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 6: teams sticking with turf because um not only do they
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 6: have concerts and stuff but a lot of them like
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 6: New England's a great, New England and Seattle.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 7: Are great examples, right?
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 6: They're outdoor facilities with natural or synthetic turf. And a
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 6: big reason of that is the soccer teams that play there.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: And then if you're pushing for that ball roll on
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 6: the synthetic turf and, and most, you know, managing multi, multi.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: It's almost like closer to like a golf course than
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: a football field.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: Soccer fields.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 6: It's a little different. They were talking about the world cup.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 6: The footing is a little different. It doesn't hold up
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 6: as well to, well, put it this way. You got,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 6: you know, five, 10, 150 pound guys running around and
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 6: then you got, you know, Kim Hayward.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 7: Cutting out there. So different types of athletes, right?
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. And I mean, Jalen Warren, we saw it
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, that blowout he had on
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: the touchdown run. What, how does that happen? Is there
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: a scientific reason? for a blowout like that where the
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: grass just blows up on you it looks like he stepped.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 6: On a landmine yeah he could have caught like a
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 6: seam right on the the head i'd have to go
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 6: back and look at it again um what happens is
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 6: you'll notice now more with the bermuda the kentucky blue
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 6: just kind of would blow out in chunks um if
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 6: you pay attention now like you'll turn on the game
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 6: and heinz will have some wear between the hashes right
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 6: and it looks brown and you're like man it doesn't
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 6: look aesthetically great, but those Brown marks on the Bermuda now,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 6: excuse me, are more like a, um, more like a scuff,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 6: like a, a scuff divot on a golf course fairway.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 6: Cause the Bermuda's mode so much lower that, um, You know,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: it's the fields holding together underneath in the root zone,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 6: but it's scuffing off the top, which is good. So
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 6: even though it's not aesthetically pleasing, it's still playing good.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 6: And like turf managers would take that every day of
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 6: the week. You know, the players don't care how it looks,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 6: but if they walk off the field afterwards, like, man,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 6: that played so well.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 7: They're fine with that.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 6: So as far as the Warren thing went, sometimes, you know,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 6: we lay those rules aside. They're four feet wide by
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 6: 30 feet long. And there's, you know, eight hundred and
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 6: fifty plus rolls on that field. So if you caught
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 6: a seam on perfectly on a corner or one of
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 6: those four feet and it hadn't rooted together yet, that's
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 6: that's a good chance.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 7: Something like that happened.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: How long does it take for that to root together?
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 7: It depends on the time of year, if you're in
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 7: the growing season.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: The way I'm thinking of it is like they change
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: the grass so often too. So does it really get
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: time to root together or do they have to change
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: it before?
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 7: No, you're right on.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 6: Like I alluded to Philly earlier and they played on
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 6: it three, four days later. Um, so the, the challenge
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 6: is yes, getting it to root, but they bring it
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 6: in so thick that at an inch and three quarters
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 6: that it's ready to play on. And they just try
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 6: to pack those seams as tight as they can. And,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: you know, it won't root, um, you know, right now
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 6: this time of year or going into the winter, especially.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 7: So they just got to hope it's packed tight enough. And, um,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 7: they can grow it.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 6: In maybe over the summer, but you're right when you're
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 6: sodding so much.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a lot of seams.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Pat.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one last question for you, Phil. I think this
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: is what every Steelers fan wants to know right now.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: Hit game on Saturday, obviously against North Carolina. Supposed to
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: be decent weather for that game. No rain expected until
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: potentially around midnight on Sunday, and then it looks like
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: there's 70, 75% chance of rain throughout the Steeler game.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: Give us your prediction of how this turf is going
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: to look on Sunday for the Steelers.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the first thing my mind goes to with that
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 6: rain in the forecast is the paint.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 7: Do you know what time is pit? I'm assuming they're early.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: It's at noon.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 6: They're at noon, which is good. So yeah, you got
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 6: about 24 minus game time, 20 hour turnaround, probably until
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 6: Steelers one o'clock.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 7: You know, not a whole lot.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 6: There'll be some patching that happens, especially between the hashes
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 6: and stuff, but that field undergoes an entire paint job
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: on the border, every hash mark, end zones, logos, numbers,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 6: all that. So, you know, the challenge, they'll probably try
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: and get that thing painted right away. So it has
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 6: somewhat time to dry. You know, if you have rain
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 6: through the night, it could take up to, you know,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 6: depending on how many guys you have six to eight
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 6: hours to paint a full field. So that's where my
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 6: eyes would be to see if it dries. If you
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 6: start seeing paint on uniforms, uh, Sunday at the Steelers, it's,
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 6: it's probably cause they got some rain overnight.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 7: Didn't have time to dry.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, I never even thought about that.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 7: I expected to, um, I expected to probably be in
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 7: pretty good shape. They had a week off. Um, So
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 7: both teams were away, I believe, last week.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: Well, now when I see a whole bunch of– because
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: I think you see it in college most, paint on uniforms.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: Now every time I see the paint on the uniforms,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: I guess I never would have thought that it's just
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: wet paint.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not always wet paint, but that's normally the case.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 6: Sometimes you just get a guy who slides across the
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 6: center logo on, you know, QB grown or whatever, and
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 6: it just comes up on the unis.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 7: But, yeah, the equipment managers love that.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 6: We had a– we were dying the field green at–
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 6: Penn state for the college baseball team late in the year.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 6: And the, the managers, I mean, the balls were covered
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 6: in green, the white pants were green.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: It's definitely a thing.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 5: One final question, Phil, dude, you got one.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: So how do you get the pit paint colors off
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: of the field?
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 7: It gets painted over.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: That's interesting.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 7: A couple of different ways.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: So good question.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 7: Great question.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 6: So the question is, If you notice and pay attention
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 6: to the Steelers have just the most boring paint job
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 6: in the league, right?
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 7: And it's because of the two teams playing there.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 6: They don't throw the Steelers in the other end zone
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 6: until Pitt's done playing.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 7: They leave those, you know, Notre Dame hashes down there
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 7: or whatever the hell those are.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 6: So the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be painted in the blue
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 6: and gold in the uh the north end zone um
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 6: for the pit game and then it'll get painted over
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 6: in a black border with the steelers gold um over
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 6: top of it and then the center logo normally if
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 6: pit um they'll sometimes cut out the center logo just
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 6: the center square and re-sod it for a pit game
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 6: so they don't have that white so you've seen in
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 6: the past the white circle around the pit.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah the white so that's what it was that white
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: circle was really the like a pre-marked for the Steelers logo?
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 7: Interesting.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 6: It's either covering up the hypercycloids from the week before
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 6: that's still showing through, or they're prepping for the next
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 6: day kind of thing. It's the same size and everything,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 6: and they'll just paint over the pit with white again
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 6: and drop the Steelers right on top of there. And
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 6: then the yard lines and numbers and all that get retraced.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 6: But obviously they have to paint a separate set of hashes, right,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 6: because of the different sizes. And then the numbers on
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 6: NFL fields– are in way tighter than there's a deal
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 6: around NFL numbers are out way wider. So you'll see
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: on the pit field Saturday, they'll leave those same numbers
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 6: in the NFL slot on the outside of the field.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 6: And then they'll have like two hash marks where the
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 6: college numbers would be tighter to the hashes. So that's
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 6: another telltale sign.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 3: Do they, do they try to paint over the old
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: hashes or just let them kind of dissolve on the road?
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 6: When the grass is growing a ton, like early in
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 6: the year, they can kind of mow them out if
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 6: you have a week or two. But in the case
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 6: of a back to back like this, you're going to
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 6: see them kind of faint on Sunday. But they take
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 6: like a green dye and they'll try and dye them.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: Out a little bit.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: So they'll just paint them green.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: It's still the best they can.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 6: You'll see it someday. But they try to hide them
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 6: the best they can. But Steelers, you know, Philly, Temple, Eagles,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 6: kind of same thing. You'll see two sets of hashes
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 6: out there for those games.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 5: I guess I never would have considered how much paint
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 5: goes into that.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 7: A lot of paint.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 6: I don't remember how many gallons, but it's at least,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 6: I think it was 10 to 15 five-gallon buckets of
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 6: just different colors and stuff. Think about the Steelers logo.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 6: There's gray, white, black, red, blue, and yellow. So there's
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 6: five or six colors.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 5: 10 to 15 five-gallon buckets.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah. By the time you do that white border the
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 7: whole way around the outside.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: That might be the most colors on a logo in
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 3: the league. I mean, think about it.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 6: You got some of the ones like the Rams, right?
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 6: They got that like three toned yellow, like Ram, like
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 6: 3d looking Ram. And it's like three shades of yellow.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: If you look at the Superbowl logos that they put
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 6: on the 25s every year, there's like, there's 40 different
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 6: colors of paint and like the gold.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 7: The golden gate bridge and the palm tree and the
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 7: L L I exit.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: So the gradient on it.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: That's, that's pretty interesting.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 7: Kind of like art.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 3: It looks like it's like a lot of freehand. Is
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 3: that true?
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 6: Like, yeah, they normally will stencil it on just to
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 6: get it lined up and straight, but then filling it
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 6: in and stuff is pretty freehand, you know, inside the lines.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 7: Like we would stencil the.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 6: Three hyper cycloids and the letters Pittsburgh, and then we'd
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 6: freehand fill it in, but.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: Freehand still with the brush or they use a, or,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: or not a brush spray gun.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 7: Like a Sherwin Williams spray gun, like a gray coat painter.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 7: Those are popular.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 5: I'm a Titan guy. I'm a Titan guy.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Titan, same thing. Guys are getting creative with, like,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 7: when it's windy, dude, you get all the overspray, right? Right.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 7: So they're getting, like, shields on the painters and stuff.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: Those guys are artists.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 6: So Heinz has, obviously, there's, like, pins on the warning
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 6: track below the goal posts, and there's the NFL hashes,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 6: there's the college, and then there's high school ones for Whippeals.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 6: And you run a string. from those pins, end zone
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 6: to end zone, 120 yards long. And one week, me
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 6: and my buddy Billy were painting, and we ran strings
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 6: and we never even looked up at the goal post
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 6: or anything and we ran one we ran one NFL
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 6: hash and we ran one like collegiate hash they were.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 7: Skewed and we got like 20 yards in and he.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: Was like fuck dude.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 6: And we got like bush brooms and fire hoses this
• 1:29:00

• 1:30:29

  Speaker 1: I hope everyone thought that was, you know, as fun
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: as I did. I was sitting here, Pat, listening to him,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: and I felt like I was... watching a documentary on grass.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: That was awesome.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What a great conversation. I hope, hope you all
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: I was on mute.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: My apologies. Great conversation.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 3: Shout out Phil. Phil knows his stuff. We didn't get
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: to talk about it. We got a little short on time,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: but Phil's got a beautiful vintage.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: He said 80 years old.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: Now this, this John Deere turned 80 in May. Yup.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: Hanging out at his garage.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's nice, dude.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: See, maybe we'll post a picture of it, huh?
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: You want to do that?
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: Ask for a picture. We'll post it.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: And John Deere Green on a hot summer night saying
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: Billy Bob loves Charlie.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Doobie?
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. You know who would love his tractor, I'm sure,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: is Big Uncle Doob.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah?
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: He loves tractors. Oh, he would love this one. This
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: is one of them tracks you can work on.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good tractor, man. It's a good tractor.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: It's a good tractor. Yeah, I'll see if I can
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: get a picture. But let's hear from you. We got
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: a couple of voicemails this week. First one is from
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: Fabio on the Mount. And I apologize, Fabio. I don't
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: have it pulled up right now. Let me. Fabio on
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: the Mount. Fabio on the Mount. Fabio on the Mount.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: All right, let's hear from Fabio on the Mount.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: It's RPL Podcast. Five minutes out of here.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 7: Brutal.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: Brutal, brutal loss.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 12: Rob's had our number at home for I don't even
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 12: know how long.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things I can complain about.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 12: I'm sure you guys have complained about them already.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: To me, the biggest thing is that there's.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 12: Just these things that just linger. It seems like we
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 12: haven't gotten over them for years. Just little things we
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 12: can't tackle. Why receivers can't get separation. We have rocked
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 12: from the top down, from the owner down. It shows
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 12: in every facet of our game.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: We think we have.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 12: These things figured out, but in reality, it's just a
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 12: band-aid over a goddamn meteor strike.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to figure it out. I don't
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: know how to fix it.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 7: I don't think anyone out there knows how to fix it.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 12: And I don't think we'll ever be.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: A surely good football team until it is fixed.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 7: You know, I'm not going to gloom and doom.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: You know, we can still make some things shake.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: But, you know, I have nothing to see so far
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: this year that has sold me yet. That's a little disappointing.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: Looking forward to hearing what you guys got to say.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 12: See you in the down there for the Colts game
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 12: this Sunday.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 7: Big fan.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: Not going no ways. Last but not least.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: Go Steelers. Let me ask you this. Is it a
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: culture problem? Is it a player-leader problem? If Cam Hayward
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: and TJ Watt don't win a playoff game in the
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: next few years, do they go down in Steelers history
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: as overrated?
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 3: They look like the only two people on that defense
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: who actually gave a fuck on Thursday.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: But at what point Is that not enough?
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: You and I look at this differently, McGingy.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: I just don't see how you can be compared to
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: the likes of James Harrison and Troy Polamalu and Aaron
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: Smith and Lawrence Timmons, Lamar Woodley, Larry Foote, James Farrier,
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: Brett Kiesel. Ike Taylor, Willie– like, I don't know how
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: you can be compared amongst those teams.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're not talking teams, though. I mean, we're
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: talking two great leaders.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, postseason success is all that matters.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I disagree. I mean, I agree that
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 3: it's all that matters in a franchise, but when you're
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 3: talking about– I don't know how.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: You can be looked at as a legend and one
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: of the best Steelers of all time. is if this
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: is what your legacy is. That's all I'm saying. Yeah.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe greatest, right? I define best and greatest differently.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's just me being cunty about my word choices.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: Don't get cunty with me. I'm, I'm way too enthused
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: with grass right now, man.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 3: No, like TJ watt is the best. He's an all
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: time Steelers outside linebacker, right? If you, if you say
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: he's one of the best he is, but, If you
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: want to talk about greatness, I think that is more
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: your conversation about how can you define someone's greatness if
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 3: you never won a playoff game.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's exactly what I'm saying. And when you see
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: the same mistakes over a couple of different coaching regimes,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: it makes you wonder.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: That was something, too. Good call, Fabi. We didn't really
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 3: touch on, maybe perhaps not enough, the lack of tackling.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: Horrible.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 7: Horrible.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, that was the defense's biggest problem was missed tackles.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: I think it was what, I don't know if you
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: said that, was it 15 missed tackles on the day?
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't, I didn't say it, but yeah, I like that.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: That sounds about right.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: Just like you said as well, nobody getting open. I mean,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 3: Rogers didn't play great. He wasn't seeing guys that were open, right?
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 3: DK Metcalf got open a couple of times, most, most obviously,
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: but just on those, you know, three, four second sacks
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 3: where Rogers was just not move around in the pocket,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: nobody was getting open either.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 7: So.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: I don't agree more.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 5: Thanks for the call, Fabi. Let's kick it to Simon
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 5: from up on Mount Washington.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: This is Simon from Mount Wash. How are you guys doing?
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 9: Just going to skip over the Steelers game and talk
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 9: strictly about Jim Broney's dungeon. Charcuterie is real and smelling
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 9: salts are back.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 3: You know what's funny is we were huffing down the
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 3: smelling salts in Jim Broney's basement on Friday.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 20: And then I go to this wedding on Saturday and
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 20: somebody at my table just pulled out a jar of
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 20: smelling salts.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 5: Did Jim Broney have the jars? He got the ones
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 5: you crack and pop.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you. You weren't there.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: He's got the jar, dude. I'm pretty sure they stopped
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: making those ones that you crack and pop. Jim Broney
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: used to have those back in the day, man.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 3: No, these were a mutual friend left his refills of
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 3: the jarred smooth. Yeah.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: Figured that's what it was. Not as strong as the pouches.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: Jim Broney would be the first one to tell you.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: The pouches are missed.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: I found.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: I searched for the pouches on Amazon and it was
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: like one out of a hundred, but I did find
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 3: some of the pouches.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: I put them in my cart.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: How much?
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: It's not a bad price either.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: It's like $ 21 for 20 of them.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: That's not a bad deal at all, dude.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, here we go.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 7: 50.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: This is a whole other one.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: They must've been listening. Ammonia ampoules.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: Ammonia ampoules count $ 52.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at it, dude. Yeah. It's not a bad idea, dude. That's,
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: that's what you need. The ammonia ampoules, dude. Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: 50 count $ 52. This is not an ad. That would
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: be pretty cool to get an ad from the smelling
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: salt company though. Maybe we should see if, um, Rick
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: Durano does smelling salts.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 3: He probably snorts them with his dick.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 5: That was all the callers we got you got to
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 5: answer the week this.
• 1:40:52

  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, okay.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 3: Turkmenistan.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: Anyway. So, last week, I'm already over this fucking question
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: after the game on Thursday because it's Browns related.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: Just give the answer.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the answer was Dwayne Washington.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 10: Nice.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're moving on to this week. This week... We
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 2: do have a Colts question, so hopefully we win, and
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: it's a fun answer next week. So, in 2002, our
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: regular season meeting at Heinz Field, the Colts were overwhelmed
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: early when a Steelers defender jumped a Peyton Manning pass
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: and took it to the house, igniting a blowout. Do
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: you guys know which Steeler opened the floodgates with that
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: pick six that sent Indianapolis into a spiral? 2002?
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: I don't have a clue. No clue.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 7: 2002, yep.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: 2002.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: No. No idea. Those are the dark years in Steeler
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: history for me. We'll find out next week. Yeah, if
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: anyone knows the answer, let us know. Pat, what a
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: great pump-up speech last week, must I say. I'm excited
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: to listen to this week's.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're going to like this week's.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: Am I?
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: I really liked last week's.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 5: Am I going to like this week's too?
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 3: This week, you're going to feel different about this week.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: Different how?
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: You'll see. I stuck something in there.
• 1:45:36

• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: All right, Pat, take it away.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: Steelers football.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: Week five.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 16: Another year, another ass kicking on Thursday night football.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 3: To the Cleveland Browns.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 16: If Pitt didn't pull out the win against James Franklin,
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 16: you would have found me with rocks in my socks
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 16: at the bottom of the alligator. But there's a reason
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 16: God put horses assholes on the back of their bodies.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 16: So that we can keep moving forward and leave that
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 16: horse shit behind us.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: Speaking of horse shit. Let's move on to the Indianapolis Colts.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: For starters.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis? What a racist name for a city.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 2: I'm starting to petition.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: To rename that city Guardianapolis.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 14: Speaking of haunted Native American burial grounds, Hinesfield must have
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 14: been built over the grave of Daniel Jones' ancestors because
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 14: he was seeing ghosts last year at Hinesfield. The Steelers
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 14: turned what was the best offensive in the league into
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 14: a turnover machine.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 13: Daniel Jones pissed so much blood during that game that
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 13: the blue on his pants turned purple. But like my
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 13: horse's ass analogy from earlier, that shit's in the past.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 11: So let's attack this team on Sunday. Let's send Blue
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 11: to the glue factory. I want Seth the Flows to
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 11: cry so much his mascara starts to run.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 10: I'm not just Peyton Manning. I'm Master Peyton Manning.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 11: And I want to have so many scorgasms on Sunday
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 11: that sauce runs.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 10: Down my gardener.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: Because when that steam.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 11: Whistle blows, we will expose Daniel Jones for the con
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 11: artist he is.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 16: He stole over 100 mil from the Giants, and now
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 16: he's going to do the same for the Colts. I
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 16: want Jonathan Taylor Fantasy Owners to be on life support
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 16: on Sunday.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 11: I want to beat the horse piss out of this
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 11: team and send them back to the big pony club
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 11: with their tails between their balls.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 10: I'm not even making sense anymore. And I don't give
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 10: a fuck.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, Pat's angry.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: This is dealer football, baby.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: Here we go. go.
