(00:51):
Eleven minutes left in Night one of the NCAA Tournament,
the first four It really this game has been over
for a while. North Carol line of lead San Diego
State seventy one to thirty nine with about ten and
a half left to go. So clearly North Carolina had
enough the last couple of days of why are they
in the turn at They're one and twelve against Squad
(01:12):
one teams. We'll show you will go beat a team
that's not deserving to get in themselves.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And what's what we do to that game? All right?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
And how we know?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, Hubert Davis, just guys, I need whatever you got. Yeah,
I gotta have forty minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It's I know it's gonna probably end for us on Thursday,
but let's just just just just give me fair, give
me a good forty minute. Everybody's watching us tonight. No
one's gonna care about us if we lose later on
in the week. We're in the middle of all kinds again,
but everybody's watching. Just just give me a good game, tay.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, as I was driving in right, you're you're listening
to a pregame and in between some music and general chaos.
Our guys over at KFI and Tim Conway Junior talking
to Rich DZ whatever else. But they were on the
San Diego State broadcast and be like, yes, snup twenty
one and nine. I mean, what do they gotta do?
I mean the resumes there and the street recently, you know,
(02:02):
benefit of the doubt. Now they' getting their asses hand
like they didn't show up at all? What is that?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I know I'm handing you your ass. Wait a minute,
Oh it's gone. I can't follow your hand giving it.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Thank you very man. If we can play, I got
your nose, got you, I got your ass. I'm gonna
hand you your ass. That's what we're gonna tell you. What's
a Mets game for a thousand? I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Okay, very nice, prosperg very nice. You want today, I'll
let that slie. Hey, you leave alone. I don't think
I don't think that's a good game to play with kids.
I think you want to stick with got your nose.
I think you want to stick. I don't think you want.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Or finger in the door, or finger your finger in
the door, put your finger right here, trust me? Or
the strength tests the men women?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You know women are stronger than menu the strength test
and what people want to hitting themselves with the things?
Uh so again, if this game warrants, and I always say,
we'll keep you up there on this game, If North
Carolina and San Diego State warrants an update, we will
bring it to you, but likely not. Instead we go
to seventy one thirty nine. We go to an in
practical joke already in progress. So yes, we'll have another
(03:04):
version coming up of True TV or not. Hey, the
Bucks showed up too.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, so they're playing about its slightly better with no
Steph Curry. He's doing a good job cheering for the
Warriors with a fifteen point lead in the second Yeah,
this is sort of transitive property.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Last night where the Nuggets rested everybody and they beat
the Warriors, were saying, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Let's do that tonight.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Now they're resting Steph and they're thumping the Bucks by fifteen.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Late in the second quarter, Adam Silver is pulling Wait,
he doesn't have any hair.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, the less guys out there the better. But after
today's drama, there is And this would be delicious if
it had I mean, like like a deep dish pizza
delicious if this happens, Because there is one team that
you think is going to walk away in free agency
or the draft with a quarterback, and I'm here to
tell you they could absolutely screw themselves and be stuck
(03:56):
tanking hoping that Arch Manning wants to come play for
them next year. Now, the last few days has been
a little weird when it comes to quarterbacks. Right, we're
still waiting for the decision on Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson.
Cam Hayward of the Steelers said today, I can't tell
we gotta wait for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
See literally, you know, like I've been using the I
need to go walk on the beach and figure things out.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
It is Warren Rodgers was walking on the beach trying
to figure things out work.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It almost looked like at the beginning of music video
almost looked like the video of.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Darren Waller taking Tom when he got divorced from Kelsey. See,
I was just gonna take it back to line Ritchie
and Hello taking Tom.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
He also and everyone I see it. We see that
angle that they showed of Rogers. I think about the
the Apollo and Rocky race and Rocky three when Rocky
finally beats him. Yeah, the most awkward awkwardly Yeah, that's
kind of the same thing right there.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Directed like just do it feels natural and it's like,
all right, is there a high five? Can we have
bro hug? Now we're jumping around.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Can we have Rogers and Wilson race and then they
hug each other at the end, Like, can we have that?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Like the first race? Blown? AI's waiting the.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
First race Wilson wins by a lot like Apollo does,
and he says, when are we gonna we'll get going tomorrow,
don't you me?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Never?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And then and then it goes again, and then Rogers
beats Wilson and the second one in the ug like that,
like Roger do they both have the same apparel company.
They both have the same apparel company. We can do
that commercial like that would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Even if they don't. We can we can bring this
naked super brands come together.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
For because because companies do that, now we're gonna split
the commercial of two two brands. How awesome would that be?
Will Wilson drinking the nano bubbles? Rogers just like has is.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That Paoti, don't worry about that. Isn't wry about it.
I'm good, I'm good, Siowa. He just keeps going. It's
legal now, don't worry, don't or if we're in California,
everything is fun.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Uh So, the Steelers and the Giants ostensibly waiting for
the decision. However, the Vikings, as more time goes on,
could potentially.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Be the big winner.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And I put winner in quotes because you don't want
either of these guys. But you gotta have somebody.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Rogers apparent desire is to play for the Vikings for
some ridiculous reason. I don't know what he wants to continually,
just I'm gonna follow Brett Favre's steps entirely, like why
why would you want to go to a team where
you know they want to start the other guy? It's
again the Vikings Aaron Rodgers part is a different conversation.
But you now have the Vikings, Steelers and Giants in
(06:17):
for Aaron Rodgers. If the Vikings get Aaron Rodgers, the
Steelers are gonna grab Russell Wilson. Okay, They're gonna say, hey,
come back here. And if Wilson is faced with the
choice of going back to Pittsburgh after being left out
there or going to the Giants, he will pick Pittsburgh
because of the familiarity, because they brought in a big
wide receiver. Hey, I have a better chance to succeed
(06:39):
than I do with the Giants because the Giants are terrible.
Understand the Giants think the Steelers' roster is much better,
so he'll go back there. Now, the Giants say, okay,
well we picked third. Seeing the momentum the last couple
of days, cam Ward number one, number two. The Browns
definitively linked to a quarterback today. There's a lot of
linkage to them to should Do or Sanders. And you
(07:01):
actually had cam Ward say. Video emerged of him saying
I'd love to play for the Saints. Maybe the Saints
have a huge draft haul, they trade up with the Titans,
they get to number one, so they can take cam Ward.
But now we are swinging back to Hey, the quarterbacks
might go one to two overall. And guess who that screws.
That screws the Giants because there's four guys out there,
(07:24):
and there are five teams that need quarterbacks, whether for
this year or beyond, and the other four teams are
gonna get them, and the Giants aren't, and they're gonna
be stuck hoping that Arch wants to come play where
his uncle was so good for a long time, right,
Like he wants to really come Like I know that's
gonna be all Hey Manning Manning, and he's never gonna
be able to escape the shadow of Eli Manning and
his two Super Bowls. But he really wants to come
(07:45):
play here, doesn't he. That's a the Giants can wind
up getting completely screwed, and it's really easy to see
how that'll happen. I know that none of these guys
you want, but if you're the Giants, you got to
go out.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And say, Okay, let's go over the top.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I mean, I don't want him because he stinks, but
you can't go out with Tommy DeVito again. I go
over the top and say, what's it gonna take for
Russell Wilson to commit here? Let let the Steelers figure
their stuff out, let them figure everything else out.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
What is it gonna take?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Because clearly, if the Giants had a trade in mind
for quarterbacks somewhere else, they would have done it.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
They would have made it.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
And now you can find yourself saying, hey, we're really
on the outside looking in. Now you get Russell Wilson,
and then let's say one of the quarterbacks falls to
you at three. Okay, there's nothing hurting you from having Wilson,
and then it's Shador Sanders or it's cam Ward, whoever
winds up being there. There's nothing that hurts having that.
That's a good quarterback room to have. In the beginning,
Wilson will play a little while one of the other guys.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Will come in. But if you're the giant, you need
to do something. Man, you can't just sit here and wait.
You got to say.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You gotta suck it up and say, Okay, I don't
really like the choices out there, but I gotta choose
one of them.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's like me saying, hey, what are the choices for dinner? Well,
we have cook spinach and rosparagus. I don't like either
of them. Well, then you don't eat dinner. No, but okay,
there's got to be another choice. No, it's cook spinach,
your respect. I would say, all right, I guess I'll
have asparagus. I don't really like it. And well, if
they if you if you really, if you like uh,
chris bit, and you put butter on it. I like
(09:10):
a sperry, but just like raw sparis, Like I really
thought you.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Were gonna wrapping it in bacon and whatever. But well,
that's something I would have then.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
But then if it's like, okay, but they gotta have dinner,
I gotta eat something, So all right, I'll have the aspires.
I really really don't want the cook spinach. Like, you
have to make a choice, and the jud the longer,
the Giants let this go. The more they look like
they're gonna lose out on a quarterback and go into
a lame duck season where guys are gonna get fired.
The gm is gonna get fired, Chain's gonna get Fireddable's
gonna get fired. All new things are gonna happen, and
(09:37):
they're not guaranteed to have the quarterback in the future.
In this year's direct, they'll take somebody in the second
round that they'll probably have to play way early because hey,
we can't keep throwing out Tommy Cutlets you know, hey
like Quinn, you weers you're taking over week three and
it's gonna be an absolute mess.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
The Giants can get screwed. They gotta act soon now.
At some point, and it goes back about maybe a
little over a week ago, we the odds were even
say that really fast, very good, that the Giants and
Titans were co favorites to make the number one pick.
And then it becomes a question of what kind of
hall are the Titans getting Because if you're not convinced
(10:14):
that Ward or should were Sanders or Jackson dart or
or go all the way down to your guy. When
we look at McCord or Milroe or any of these
guys are the answer that maybe you just go get
as many draft picks as you can still draft a
guy in the second or third round, because we've talked
about that next tier and the tier beyond that of
developmental guys, and then you just keep building the roster,
(10:36):
which is, if I were GM, that's the tact I'm taking.
If I'm doing my due diligence, I'm not convinced either
one of these guys is taking me to great heights
because I still need to build around them. Right if
I'm Tennessee and.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
You're still gonna get a first round pick somewhere in
the top ten because someone trading up, but that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Whether it's the Saints to finally rid themselves after this
year of Derek Carrory, they're able after all the renegotiation
to spin him off somewhere that that you do that.
But for for the Giants, it doesn't preclude a selection
of Jackson Dart if they are still sitting there at three,
because we've talked about it, right the quarterbacks, desperation logic
(11:18):
flies out the window at points where you feel like
you're gonna be left at the table. The Russell Wilson
thing when it comes to Pittsburgh is just interesting to
me because all the reports of he and Arthur Smith
didn't get along, well, it's not been categorically ruled out
by anybody. You think there would have been a definitive
statement of like, no, we had a good time with
it with Russ. No, he's still out there, whether it's
for negotiating purposes on Rogers to try to, you know,
(11:39):
keep pushing him along. He's gonna do things what he
wants on his own timeline. I hate, I hate to
break the news for folks that haven't paid attention.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But is he really like, if you have an offer
from the Steelers, are you really just sitting here saying no,
I'd rather go to the These are like, we do
we really sure that he's got an offered We're just
sitting there waiting Or has that just been a narrative
thrown out there so Aaron Rodgers can seem like he's
in control of the situation, Because I have a hard
time believing if the Steelers, who are a playoff.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Team with a really good roster, he would sit here
and say, yeah, I don't know if I want to
play it. Really, that's why the choices are the Steelers
or the Giants or the Vikings. And really the Vikings
might not even want you, So your choice are the Steelers,
are the Giants? The Giants are terrible? Okay Steelers it is, Yeah,
but you're still waiting for something to happen. So Kevin
O'Connell falls in love with team I sent him old
(12:26):
tape of your games when you were playing with the
Packers all those years ago, and roll on. But for
Russell Wilson, like it seems to be based on the personnel,
you have the perfect fit, all right, his old guy
in DK Metcalf and George Pickens, assuming you know he
stays in the fold and stay two guys that all
they do is go along. Isn't that great?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh, by the way, that every time you mentioned the
Steelers wide receiver room, that's DK Metcalf. And if they
keep George Pickens, like no one says Metcalf and Pickens,
but if they keep George.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
Yeah, we had it.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
We had it for about a day where it's like, wow,
that's pretty cool, right, two guys with average air yards
and all this great And then it's like if he
sticks around if they keep George Pickens, because you're also
at a point where you have to start thinking about
his contract if he stays around. There's two deep ball options.
Steel is also reportedly meeting with Jalen Milroe. They draft
(13:20):
twenty first in this year's draft. But yeah, being left
at the altar for all of the GM frequently if
you're on the you know, the hot seat, and in
New York, coach and GM like, what what are the
what are the directives from mahraor right now? You need
to win this year or you need to prove that
you're putting a team that can be competitive in twenty
(13:42):
twenty six together. Yeah, you need to. You need to.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
You need to either win or we need to tank
and lose and hopefully get arch Manning hopefully. Guy Like,
but you think you tried to tell you you did
it last year and look what happened. You want it
with the third pick in a two quarterback draft. I mean, really,
you have the third picking or two you start, it's
not necessarily there that you're gonna you're gonna get that guy, right,
you would have thought going in if you pick third
(14:05):
in the draft, Oh, you're getting a quarterback. No, now
you might not. Now you might not get that guy.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What is great is for Tennessee and Cleveland. And look,
Cleveland's a wildcard. You have no idea what Haslam's going
to try to directly.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
They kind of they have no choice to take a
quarterback though, I mean, this is where if if you don't,
I mean, this is where you get one, because you're
paying Deshaun Watson all that money you need to get
a quarterback when you're not paying him like that.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
In theory, in theory, that's great. They also put up
a proposal for a Dome stadium. You see how well
that went over. But all of that to say, yeah,
it's loge logical dictate that. But if you know the
Giants are in a state of desperation, perhaps they'll be
willing to grossly overpay to move up one spot to
secure the guy they want. Telling you they that could
(14:49):
be the team that completely gets screwed. Watch the Giant boys.
They had won another offseason Hall absolutely, Hey, I can't
kid over there. I told you they're just walking on
the office fighting each other. It's like Inspector Cluso and
Cato like every day they tried Shane and Dable and
Marra come in. They try to jump in each other's
offices and fly through the roof and tackle each other. Oh,
(15:11):
that'd be so fansy. Does Shane's kid have a video
game account like where we can watch him play live?

But yeah, I'll tell you guy Zilla Minus one was fantastic.
Oh my god, what that was. And that was an
incredible movie. I was so excited to see it, and
it was that's had a great concept and and it
was I was I'm like, I'm always I'm always happy
when I see a movie that I'm like, wow, I
was not expecting anything.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And I heard, you know, good things about it. Okay, great,
and I see him like, it was really really good.
That's one of the best movies I saw last year.
Guyzilla mine as one. There you go, We'll put it
on the top ten for you. No question about it,
because will be the next one. Well, I mean a
lot of the movies that one Oscars or were nominated
are starting to come to streaming, and you know, talking
to my kids, uh, they've seen a couple of them,
(18:11):
they say, uh, I go, wow, should I watch?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
And they like, don't bother? Yeah, don't don't bother. I
there's a lot of movies. I'm like, I'm not really
I don't feel the need to have to go up.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
My older daughter told her friends instead of sitting down
to watch some of these Oscar nominees, she goes, I
want to take you to go see the Monkey, so
far more entertaining. We saw it a couple of weeks ago.
It was a lot of fun. It's supposed to be
really bloody, right, that's like, okay, that's fun. All right. No,
it is some next level stuff, so you know, it's
(18:43):
not quite final destination, but you can get get down
that path. Wait does the uh does the monkey kill
people on a plane? Yeahs with snakes? Well it's lowing
snakes and is it like the World war Z where
the zombies are all really last? Yeah? See that's cool,
that's super fast. I didn't want to see that me
(19:04):
and you blink and you never know where the monk
and then they eat Pitt.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Okay, I think people would God maybe in for that
we had a good run. Brad Pitt gets eat in
this movie.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I'm all, no, no, I need that Ocean movie to finish
as soon as that's rap. Do what you need, Mike.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
We're gonna you will not hear boogety boogey in the
in the Formula one movie.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
You're not.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I guarantee you're not gonna hear that. Do you put
that evil on me? Ricky, Bobby, I'm gonna do it
just from conn the studio.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
This is a Formula one movie. We need you to
do the borat accent. If anything we need you to
do that, Can you just do that?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Please? Thank you, Eric, I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
So again, we'll have John paulm Rossi coming up next
hour on the show. Right now, boy, I'll tell you
if we thought we were gonna get some sort of
fun night and it was gonna be awesome, and night
one of the NCAA Tournament, yeah we had a big
nail bier with Alabama State in Saint Francis. Yeah, but
North Carolina San Diego State three and a half left
to go, and San Diego State has now closed to
(20:05):
within an eighty seven fifty two of North Carolinas.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
What an absolute disaster, Steve to say, you're as breaking news.
It's a thirty five point game now it is thirty
five points, thirty four percent, thirty five points from the
five points, thirty five points.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
This is game one. Congratulations in North Carolina because I'm
sure you'll see after.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
The game is over. Nobody believed in us, nobody wanted
us in the tournament. We're here to win the whole thing.
You're gonna get that. That's all you're gonna get from
North Carolina lost thirteen games. That's a lot of games.
It is a lot of games. I just look. And
then we get into the NZAA chicanery so long as
they're in charge. And I know folks hate the Some
folks ah wagging their fingers, hated the idea you take
(20:51):
it out of college administrator's hands. Okay, it's not theirs.
Well I think you shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I think you should take the whole thing out of
administrator's hands, like the the entire process.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
But that's what I mean. It should be other people
who don't have the vested interest. Maybe they have to
post where they went to school. But beyond that, having
a bunch of the overseers from conferences and big time
teams sitting there does not help the process. Don't you
want to see people like Billis and Linardi and Jerry
Palm all, you know, argue about who gets in the
field of sixty eight. Yeah, I want to see that.
(21:23):
I think that'd be Give me, give me the folks
where we're ranking, ranking the bracketologists and we have a
giant bracket that way, uh, and then they get to
decide who the dozen people are that sit in a
room and actually put this thing together. Because so law, look,
the last vestiges of power for the NCAA is the
(21:44):
tournament committee. So yes, chic Canery, okay, and now cheters
Proof Jetersproof, we got in and we beat the hell
out of his team. Sounds like you said, Jetersburg there
to go to Jetersburg. Yeah, Well, you know, he's doing
the commencement address for Michigan this year.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
It's taking him till now you took it. It took him, really,
it took him till.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I think I think they finally, did they run out
of graduates? No, the largest living body ever joke. You
gotta have Harball come back and do this one, right?
Has he not done it yet? I? I mean, now
he's an emeritus or they give him a doctor, or
it's his yearly gig, you know, to come back. You know,
it's his yearly gig to come back and do it.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Hey, Harball comes back, he won the national title, gets
to come back and do it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Does he send the the guy that did all the
scouting quote.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Connor Stallions, He'll be giving the pre pre commencement speech.
He'll be giving the commencement speech, telling you what they
said at Michigan State's commencement.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
That's that's what he would do. Yeah, what do they say?
What do they say? It's what did party say? Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I got that for you. But we we alluded to
this story earlier this hour that uh, the Steelers, particularly
star Cam Hayward, is fed up waiting on Aaron Rodgers
to make his decision. Because the the narrative that is
out there is that Rogers is weighing his decisions, whether
(23:04):
it is the Steelers, whether it is waiting for it
off from the Vikings, whether it is he wants to retire.
So he goes on the Not Just Football Podcast Tuesday
and say I'm not going to go to any great
lengths to try to go get Aaron Rodgers to come
to the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Here is Cam Hayward from earlier today.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
And the Darkness Darkness Treat Retreat. I don't mean any
of that crap, like either you want to be a
Pittsburgh Steeler or you don't. That's that's simple.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
That's the pitch.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
If you want me to recruit, that's the recruiting pitch.
You know, Pittsburgh Steelers. If you want to be part
of it, so be it. If you don't, let's get
on my back.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
That's saying, hey, listen, I'm not even though he did
do recruiting for Russell Wilson last year. Now deciding either
you're coming here or you're not. And Pittsburgh is a
blue collar town. You don't come here for stats or
for what you come here to win. And I get
that message right, and I get that that's a great
image for the Steelers to have, is that it is
(24:00):
is in an NFL that is constantly changing and more
glitz and glamour and more touchdowns and more everything. Hey,
the Pittsburgh Steelers, we're the same now as we were
in the seventies. Okay, we're We're the same team now,
same blue collar team, great defense, we run the football.
We only have three head coaches for the last sixty years.
This is how we do things here, Steve, this is
(24:21):
this is Pittsburgh. This is how we do it.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I was out in Pittsburgh this over the course of
the weekend and you know, we're in a waiting on
some food to go order at a bar slash restaurant,
and the Rogers thing came up, you know, up on
the television and you just heard guys start great, but
I want that prema down. I can't even talk about
the rest of what they had to say. I don't know,
(24:44):
I want the Rogers guy. I don't know. You just
want to come here? Why would you? Why you?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
You know, we should have got Kenny Pickett back from
Philadelphia they traded him. We got to watch him play
in the Browns. Now, it's gonna win that job. And
he's gonna come in here twice a year to acor sure,
he's gonna bind it. Beating us a couple of times
it's gonna happen. I was got Kenny Pickett pretty excited.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Though.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
They had a guy that there was a caricature of
him above him, and I'm like, what the hell's that guy?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Like?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
He's, you know, a legend of this area. Dude walked in.
He's home court at the bar, people buying the beers.
He didn't have to do anything, just walked in. But yeah, Rogers,
I can tell you the at least that small sampling
of Pittsburgh people, they want no part of it. I
agree with Cam Hayward though, no, yeah, you know, like
you either want to be here you don't, right, I
get it, but you're focusing on the wrong thing, and
Cam Hayward is focusing on the wrong thing.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
To make public, it's not Aaron Rodgers come here or not.
The thing that needs to be made public with team
leaders is to say, what the blank are we doing
at quarterback man?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
What are we doing? What are we doing continually shopping
in the bargain basement aisle? Why are we going after
quarterbacks that have long passed their expiration date that we're
hoping to squeeze another year out of We can't say
that out loud that's behind the scenes out here. It's
Aaron Rodgers fault. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I'm sorry, Mike tom Well, maybe you need to make
less decisions, or whoever is making the decisions for the Steelers.
A quarterback needs to have the keys taken from them
because the right question is what the hell are we doing?
What since when did you think we could go cheap
at quarterback and try to catch lightning in a bottle?
And that's a great strategy to win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Right?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
They tried to go cheap with Justin Fields, they tried
to go cheap with Russell Wilson. Now they want to
go cheap with Aaron Rodgers, or they'll bring Russell Wilson back.
While they wanted Justin Fields to stay, but the Jets
over bait.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
How do you think this is going to do well?
This is where I say the Steelers are getting to
the point of where the game has passed them by,
and the game is passing Mike Tomlin by. Because as
much as he wants to coach a certain way and
the Steelers want to have a certain image, you need
to understand that you don't just have guys come in
and you can win the Super Bowl with an average
(26:50):
quarterback and a great defense and a great running game
and a great receiver and a great title. You don't
do that anymore. It's happened a couple of times history,
but people talk about it like you can do it
every year. Remember Trent Dilford did it. That's one Super
Bowl twenty five years ago. You need great quarterbacks. Winston's
a reason why Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes have won
(27:12):
twenty four of the last twenty five Super Bowls.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Right, you need great quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
And the Steelers are just killing themselves by saying, yeah,
here's our guys, we're going after the last two years.
Nobody wanted Russell Wilson, will bring him in. Nobody wanted
Justin Fields, We'll bring him in. Nobody wants Aaron Rodgers.
The Jets said goodbye to Aaron Rodgers. Yeah that's who
we want. We want the guy the Jets said no to,
and the Jets will take anybody. That's what we want.
(27:36):
What are the Steelers doing and there needs somebody's got
to come out and say it. Someone's got to be
the adult and go, hey, let's pull the emergency brake
here and understand our planet quarterback sucks. We're not sustaining
any sort of competition for the future. We made a
big deal to bring in Dk Metcalf, who's twenty seven
in his prime. He's got three four years of being
a great receiver left right. So he got George Pickens
as young. Jalen Warren is young, Friar Muth is young.
(27:57):
The offensive line is good, the defense is always good
to be good fifty years in counting, the Steelers defense
is good. What are we doing a quarterback? What are
we doing? This makes absolutely no sense. If the Jets
had this strategy, or the Raiders had this strategy, or
before the Lions got good again, the Lions had this strategy,
they would just be dragged mercilessly through the mud. You
don't know what you're doing. But this is what the
(28:19):
Steelers have done now the last two plus years, and
it doesn't make anything.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
But the reason they're able to get away with it
is that they never bottom out right. They are just
good enough in infrastructure and what the roster is in
its construction that you still have that stupid ass streak.
And I say it because it impedes them from having
to do anything drastic or change direction is that you're
(28:43):
on one of those what's said Autopia at Disneyland, right,
it's gonna keep you on opia, Autotopia with Autotopia right,
So like you could bounce off that rail, but you're
still going forward.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It doesn't look good. It might be a rough ride,
you might have you know, your your chure will come
back on you, you don't know, but you're still moving forward.
And that's what the Steelers have been. It's not a smooth,
easy year at all ever. Right, you have the trial
month of September and then they close out strong and
(29:16):
all of a sudden they're back in playoff contention, and
Mike Domlin keeps from having that losing season. And you say, well,
Mike's doing a great job, and he does. He's a
great teacher, he's a great coach. But philosophically, it's like,
all right, this one tweak might actually push you further
and might make the rest of that slog a little
bit easier. Instead, you keep running back with it because
(29:38):
you're winning nine, ten, eleven games a year, whereas all
the teams you cite they were absolute dumpster fires down
in that three to six win period for a long,
long time to where it's the all right, we may
not get it right, but we're going to do something differently.
Steelers have never had that bottom out moment. They might
have a bad month where it looks too terrible, and
(30:00):
then guess what, they right the ship. They hit a
good stretch of the schedule, they look good, the offense
clicks for a bit, and then all of a sudden,
that dangerous four letter word creeps back into the world.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Hope telling you, man, that's the question. Someone's got to
have the guts to say, just what the hell are
we doing a quarterback?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Man. I know because Mike Tomlin is very much I'm
the smartest guy in the room to clearly you're not
clear enough. They told us when Russ had that start.
Nobody else is making these to say, nobody else wants
these quarterbacks. Nobody else wants this quarterbacks you have, Nobody
wants them. Omar Kahn is their GM. You'd be careful
because Omar coming. If you talk to out there, the
two guys they let go, one of them the Jets wanted,
(30:39):
the other one nobody wants. He's still the last guy there,
and the guy they want is the guy the Jets
didn't want to tell you. What are they doing? What
are you doing? When the Jets don't want you? You
hang them up? I'm telling you, man, I'm telling you.
See it's Frostburg. You and I are the same wave like, Hey,
it's Roki today.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Oh sorry me and Roki Frosburger, Sir.

Eleven minutes left in Night one of the NCAA Tournament,
the first four It really this game has been over
for a while. North Carol line of lead San Diego
State seventy one to thirty nine with about ten and
a half left to go. So clearly North Carolina had
enough the last couple of days of why are they
in the turn at They're one and twelve against Squad
(01:12):
one teams. We'll show you will go beat a team
that's not deserving to get in themselves.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And what's what we do to that game? All right?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
And how we know?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, Hubert Davis, just guys, I need whatever you got. Yeah,
I gotta have forty minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It's I know it's gonna probably end for us on Thursday,
but let's just just just just give me fair, give
me a good forty minute. Everybody's watching us tonight. No
one's gonna care about us if we lose later on
in the week. We're in the middle of all kinds again,
but everybody's watching. Just just give me a good game, tay.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, as I was driving in right, you're you're listening
to a pregame and in between some music and general chaos.
Our guys over at KFI and Tim Conway Junior talking
to Rich DZ whatever else. But they were on the
San Diego State broadcast and be like, yes, snup twenty
one and nine. I mean, what do they gotta do?
I mean the resumes there and the street recently, you know,
(02:02):
benefit of the doubt. Now they' getting their asses hand
like they didn't show up at all? What is that?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I know I'm handing you your ass. Wait a minute,
Oh it's gone. I can't follow your hand giving it.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Thank you very man. If we can play, I got
your nose, got you, I got your ass. I'm gonna
hand you your ass. That's what we're gonna tell you. What's
a Mets game for a thousand? I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Okay, very nice, prosperg very nice. You want today, I'll
let that slie. Hey, you leave alone. I don't think
I don't think that's a good game to play with kids.
I think you want to stick with got your nose.
I think you want to stick. I don't think you want.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Or finger in the door, or finger your finger in
the door, put your finger right here, trust me? Or
the strength tests the men women?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You know women are stronger than menu the strength test
and what people want to hitting themselves with the things?
Uh so again, if this game warrants, and I always say,
we'll keep you up there on this game, If North
Carolina and San Diego State warrants an update, we will
bring it to you, but likely not. Instead we go
to seventy one thirty nine. We go to an in
practical joke already in progress. So yes, we'll have another
(03:04):
version coming up of True TV or not. Hey, the
Bucks showed up too.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, so they're playing about its slightly better with no
Steph Curry. He's doing a good job cheering for the
Warriors with a fifteen point lead in the second Yeah,
this is sort of transitive property.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Last night where the Nuggets rested everybody and they beat
the Warriors, were saying, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Let's do that tonight.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Now they're resting Steph and they're thumping the Bucks by fifteen.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Late in the second quarter, Adam Silver is pulling Wait,
he doesn't have any hair.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, the less guys out there the better. But after
today's drama, there is And this would be delicious if
it had I mean, like like a deep dish pizza
delicious if this happens, Because there is one team that
you think is going to walk away in free agency
or the draft with a quarterback, and I'm here to
tell you they could absolutely screw themselves and be stuck
(03:56):
tanking hoping that Arch Manning wants to come play for
them next year. Now, the last few days has been
a little weird when it comes to quarterbacks. Right, we're
still waiting for the decision on Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson.
Cam Hayward of the Steelers said today, I can't tell
we gotta wait for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
See literally, you know, like I've been using the I
need to go walk on the beach and figure things out.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
It is Warren Rodgers was walking on the beach trying
to figure things out work.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It almost looked like at the beginning of music video
almost looked like the video of.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Darren Waller taking Tom when he got divorced from Kelsey. See,
I was just gonna take it back to line Ritchie
and Hello taking Tom.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
He also and everyone I see it. We see that
angle that they showed of Rogers. I think about the
the Apollo and Rocky race and Rocky three when Rocky
finally beats him. Yeah, the most awkward awkwardly Yeah, that's
kind of the same thing right there.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Directed like just do it feels natural and it's like,
all right, is there a high five? Can we have
bro hug? Now we're jumping around.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Can we have Rogers and Wilson race and then they
hug each other at the end, Like, can we have that?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Like the first race? Blown? AI's waiting the.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
First race Wilson wins by a lot like Apollo does,
and he says, when are we gonna we'll get going tomorrow,
don't you me?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Never?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And then and then it goes again, and then Rogers
beats Wilson and the second one in the ug like that,
like Roger do they both have the same apparel company.
They both have the same apparel company. We can do
that commercial like that would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Even if they don't. We can we can bring this
naked super brands come together.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
For because because companies do that, now we're gonna split
the commercial of two two brands. How awesome would that be?
Will Wilson drinking the nano bubbles? Rogers just like has is.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That Paoti, don't worry about that. Isn't wry about it.
I'm good, I'm good, Siowa. He just keeps going. It's
legal now, don't worry, don't or if we're in California,
everything is fun.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Uh So, the Steelers and the Giants ostensibly waiting for
the decision. However, the Vikings, as more time goes on,
could potentially.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Be the big winner.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And I put winner in quotes because you don't want
either of these guys. But you gotta have somebody.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Rogers apparent desire is to play for the Vikings for
some ridiculous reason. I don't know what he wants to continually,
just I'm gonna follow Brett Favre's steps entirely, like why
why would you want to go to a team where
you know they want to start the other guy? It's
again the Vikings Aaron Rodgers part is a different conversation.
But you now have the Vikings, Steelers and Giants in
(06:17):
for Aaron Rodgers. If the Vikings get Aaron Rodgers, the
Steelers are gonna grab Russell Wilson. Okay, They're gonna say, hey,
come back here. And if Wilson is faced with the
choice of going back to Pittsburgh after being left out
there or going to the Giants, he will pick Pittsburgh
because of the familiarity, because they brought in a big
wide receiver. Hey, I have a better chance to succeed
(06:39):
than I do with the Giants because the Giants are terrible.
Understand the Giants think the Steelers' roster is much better,
so he'll go back there. Now, the Giants say, okay,
well we picked third. Seeing the momentum the last couple
of days, cam Ward number one, number two. The Browns
definitively linked to a quarterback today. There's a lot of
linkage to them to should Do or Sanders. And you
(07:01):
actually had cam Ward say. Video emerged of him saying
I'd love to play for the Saints. Maybe the Saints
have a huge draft haul, they trade up with the Titans,
they get to number one, so they can take cam Ward.
But now we are swinging back to Hey, the quarterbacks
might go one to two overall. And guess who that screws.
That screws the Giants because there's four guys out there,
(07:24):
and there are five teams that need quarterbacks, whether for
this year or beyond, and the other four teams are
gonna get them, and the Giants aren't, and they're gonna
be stuck hoping that Arch wants to come play where
his uncle was so good for a long time, right,
Like he wants to really come Like I know that's
gonna be all Hey Manning Manning, and he's never gonna
be able to escape the shadow of Eli Manning and
his two Super Bowls. But he really wants to come
(07:45):
play here, doesn't he. That's a the Giants can wind
up getting completely screwed, and it's really easy to see
how that'll happen. I know that none of these guys
you want, but if you're the Giants, you got to
go out.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And say, Okay, let's go over the top.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I mean, I don't want him because he stinks, but
you can't go out with Tommy DeVito again. I go
over the top and say, what's it gonna take for
Russell Wilson to commit here? Let let the Steelers figure
their stuff out, let them figure everything else out.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
What is it gonna take?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Because clearly, if the Giants had a trade in mind
for quarterbacks somewhere else, they would have done it.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
They would have made it.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
And now you can find yourself saying, hey, we're really
on the outside looking in. Now you get Russell Wilson,
and then let's say one of the quarterbacks falls to
you at three. Okay, there's nothing hurting you from having Wilson,
and then it's Shador Sanders or it's cam Ward, whoever
winds up being there. There's nothing that hurts having that.
That's a good quarterback room to have. In the beginning,
Wilson will play a little while one of the other guys.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Will come in. But if you're the giant, you need
to do something. Man, you can't just sit here and wait.
You got to say.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You gotta suck it up and say, Okay, I don't
really like the choices out there, but I gotta choose
one of them.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's like me saying, hey, what are the choices for dinner? Well,
we have cook spinach and rosparagus. I don't like either
of them. Well, then you don't eat dinner. No, but okay,
there's got to be another choice. No, it's cook spinach,
your respect. I would say, all right, I guess I'll
have asparagus. I don't really like it. And well, if
they if you if you really, if you like uh,
chris bit, and you put butter on it. I like
(09:10):
a sperry, but just like raw sparis, Like I really
thought you.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Were gonna wrapping it in bacon and whatever. But well,
that's something I would have then.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
But then if it's like, okay, but they gotta have dinner,
I gotta eat something, So all right, I'll have the aspires.
I really really don't want the cook spinach. Like, you
have to make a choice, and the jud the longer,
the Giants let this go. The more they look like
they're gonna lose out on a quarterback and go into
a lame duck season where guys are gonna get fired.
The gm is gonna get fired, Chain's gonna get Fireddable's
gonna get fired. All new things are gonna happen, and
(09:37):
they're not guaranteed to have the quarterback in the future.
In this year's direct, they'll take somebody in the second
round that they'll probably have to play way early because hey,
we can't keep throwing out Tommy Cutlets you know, hey
like Quinn, you weers you're taking over week three and
it's gonna be an absolute mess.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
The Giants can get screwed. They gotta act soon now.
At some point, and it goes back about maybe a
little over a week ago, we the odds were even
say that really fast, very good, that the Giants and
Titans were co favorites to make the number one pick.
And then it becomes a question of what kind of
hall are the Titans getting Because if you're not convinced
(10:14):
that Ward or should were Sanders or Jackson dart or
or go all the way down to your guy. When
we look at McCord or Milroe or any of these
guys are the answer that maybe you just go get
as many draft picks as you can still draft a
guy in the second or third round, because we've talked
about that next tier and the tier beyond that of
developmental guys, and then you just keep building the roster,
(10:36):
which is, if I were GM, that's the tact I'm taking.
If I'm doing my due diligence, I'm not convinced either
one of these guys is taking me to great heights
because I still need to build around them. Right if
I'm Tennessee and.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
You're still gonna get a first round pick somewhere in
the top ten because someone trading up, but that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Whether it's the Saints to finally rid themselves after this
year of Derek Carrory, they're able after all the renegotiation
to spin him off somewhere that that you do that.
But for for the Giants, it doesn't preclude a selection
of Jackson Dart if they are still sitting there at three,
because we've talked about it, right the quarterbacks, desperation logic
(11:18):
flies out the window at points where you feel like
you're gonna be left at the table. The Russell Wilson
thing when it comes to Pittsburgh is just interesting to
me because all the reports of he and Arthur Smith
didn't get along, well, it's not been categorically ruled out
by anybody. You think there would have been a definitive
statement of like, no, we had a good time with
it with Russ. No, he's still out there, whether it's
for negotiating purposes on Rogers to try to, you know,
(11:39):
keep pushing him along. He's gonna do things what he
wants on his own timeline. I hate, I hate to
break the news for folks that haven't paid attention.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But is he really like, if you have an offer
from the Steelers, are you really just sitting here saying no,
I'd rather go to the These are like, we do
we really sure that he's got an offered We're just
sitting there waiting Or has that just been a narrative
thrown out there so Aaron Rodgers can seem like he's
in control of the situation, Because I have a hard
time believing if the Steelers, who are a playoff.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Team with a really good roster, he would sit here
and say, yeah, I don't know if I want to
play it. Really, that's why the choices are the Steelers
or the Giants or the Vikings. And really the Vikings
might not even want you, So your choice are the Steelers,
are the Giants? The Giants are terrible? Okay Steelers it is, Yeah,
but you're still waiting for something to happen. So Kevin
O'Connell falls in love with team I sent him old
(12:26):
tape of your games when you were playing with the
Packers all those years ago, and roll on. But for
Russell Wilson, like it seems to be based on the personnel,
you have the perfect fit, all right, his old guy
in DK Metcalf and George Pickens, assuming you know he
stays in the fold and stay two guys that all
they do is go along. Isn't that great?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh, by the way, that every time you mentioned the
Steelers wide receiver room, that's DK Metcalf. And if they
keep George Pickens, like no one says Metcalf and Pickens,
but if they keep George.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
Yeah, we had it.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
We had it for about a day where it's like, wow,
that's pretty cool, right, two guys with average air yards
and all this great And then it's like if he
sticks around if they keep George Pickens, because you're also
at a point where you have to start thinking about
his contract if he stays around. There's two deep ball options.
Steel is also reportedly meeting with Jalen Milroe. They draft
(13:20):
twenty first in this year's draft. But yeah, being left
at the altar for all of the GM frequently if
you're on the you know, the hot seat, and in
New York, coach and GM like, what what are the
what are the directives from mahraor right now? You need
to win this year or you need to prove that
you're putting a team that can be competitive in twenty
(13:42):
twenty six together. Yeah, you need to. You need to.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
You need to either win or we need to tank
and lose and hopefully get arch Manning hopefully. Guy Like,
but you think you tried to tell you you did
it last year and look what happened. You want it
with the third pick in a two quarterback draft. I mean, really,
you have the third picking or two you start, it's
not necessarily there that you're gonna you're gonna get that guy, right,
you would have thought going in if you pick third
(14:05):
in the draft, Oh, you're getting a quarterback. No, now
you might not. Now you might not get that guy.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What is great is for Tennessee and Cleveland. And look,
Cleveland's a wildcard. You have no idea what Haslam's going
to try to directly.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
They kind of they have no choice to take a
quarterback though, I mean, this is where if if you don't,
I mean, this is where you get one, because you're
paying Deshaun Watson all that money you need to get
a quarterback when you're not paying him like that.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
In theory, in theory, that's great. They also put up
a proposal for a Dome stadium. You see how well
that went over. But all of that to say, yeah,
it's loge logical dictate that. But if you know the
Giants are in a state of desperation, perhaps they'll be
willing to grossly overpay to move up one spot to
secure the guy they want. Telling you they that could
(14:49):
be the team that completely gets screwed. Watch the Giant boys.
They had won another offseason Hall absolutely, Hey, I can't
kid over there. I told you they're just walking on
the office fighting each other. It's like Inspector Cluso and
Cato like every day they tried Shane and Dable and
Marra come in. They try to jump in each other's
offices and fly through the roof and tackle each other. Oh,
(15:11):
that'd be so fansy. Does Shane's kid have a video

But yeah, I'll tell you guy Zilla Minus one was fantastic.
Oh my god, what that was. And that was an
incredible movie. I was so excited to see it, and
it was that's had a great concept and and it
was I was I'm like, I'm always I'm always happy
when I see a movie that I'm like, wow, I
was not expecting anything.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And I heard, you know, good things about it. Okay, great,
and I see him like, it was really really good.
That's one of the best movies I saw last year.
Guyzilla mine as one. There you go, We'll put it
on the top ten for you. No question about it,
because will be the next one. Well, I mean a
lot of the movies that one Oscars or were nominated
are starting to come to streaming, and you know, talking
to my kids, uh, they've seen a couple of them,
(18:11):
they say, uh, I go, wow, should I watch?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
And they like, don't bother? Yeah, don't don't bother. I
there's a lot of movies. I'm like, I'm not really
I don't feel the need to have to go up.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
My older daughter told her friends instead of sitting down
to watch some of these Oscar nominees, she goes, I
want to take you to go see the Monkey, so
far more entertaining. We saw it a couple of weeks ago.
It was a lot of fun. It's supposed to be
really bloody, right, that's like, okay, that's fun. All right. No,
it is some next level stuff, so you know, it's
(18:43):
not quite final destination, but you can get get down
that path. Wait does the uh does the monkey kill
people on a plane? Yeahs with snakes? Well it's lowing
snakes and is it like the World war Z where
the zombies are all really last? Yeah? See that's cool,
that's super fast. I didn't want to see that me
(19:04):
and you blink and you never know where the monk
and then they eat Pitt.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Okay, I think people would God maybe in for that
we had a good run. Brad Pitt gets eat in
this movie.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I'm all, no, no, I need that Ocean movie to finish
as soon as that's rap. Do what you need, Mike.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
We're gonna you will not hear boogety boogey in the
in the Formula one movie.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
You're not.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I guarantee you're not gonna hear that. Do you put
that evil on me? Ricky, Bobby, I'm gonna do it
just from conn the studio.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
This is a Formula one movie. We need you to
do the borat accent. If anything we need you to
do that, Can you just do that?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Please? Thank you, Eric, I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
So again, we'll have John paulm Rossi coming up next
hour on the show. Right now, boy, I'll tell you
if we thought we were gonna get some sort of
fun night and it was gonna be awesome, and night
one of the NCAA Tournament, yeah we had a big
nail bier with Alabama State in Saint Francis. Yeah, but
North Carolina San Diego State three and a half left
to go, and San Diego State has now closed to
(20:05):
within an eighty seven fifty two of North Carolinas.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
What an absolute disaster, Steve to say, you're as breaking news.
It's a thirty five point game now it is thirty
five points, thirty four percent, thirty five points from the
five points, thirty five points.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
This is game one. Congratulations in North Carolina because I'm
sure you'll see after.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
The game is over. Nobody believed in us, nobody wanted
us in the tournament. We're here to win the whole thing.
You're gonna get that. That's all you're gonna get from
North Carolina lost thirteen games. That's a lot of games.
It is a lot of games. I just look. And
then we get into the NZAA chicanery so long as
they're in charge. And I know folks hate the Some
folks ah wagging their fingers, hated the idea you take
(20:51):
it out of college administrator's hands. Okay, it's not theirs.
Well I think you shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I think you should take the whole thing out of
administrator's hands, like the the entire process.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
But that's what I mean. It should be other people
who don't have the vested interest. Maybe they have to
post where they went to school. But beyond that, having
a bunch of the overseers from conferences and big time
teams sitting there does not help the process. Don't you
want to see people like Billis and Linardi and Jerry
Palm all, you know, argue about who gets in the
field of sixty eight. Yeah, I want to see that.
(21:23):
I think that'd be Give me, give me the folks
where we're ranking, ranking the bracketologists and we have a
giant bracket that way, uh, and then they get to
decide who the dozen people are that sit in a
room and actually put this thing together. Because so law, look,
the last vestiges of power for the NCAA is the
(21:44):
tournament committee. So yes, chic Canery, okay, and now cheters
Proof Jetersproof, we got in and we beat the hell
out of his team. Sounds like you said, Jetersburg there
to go to Jetersburg. Yeah, Well, you know, he's doing
the commencement address for Michigan this year.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
It's taking him till now you took it. It took him, really,
it took him till.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I think I think they finally, did they run out
of graduates? No, the largest living body ever joke. You
gotta have Harball come back and do this one, right?
Has he not done it yet? I? I mean, now
he's an emeritus or they give him a doctor, or
it's his yearly gig, you know, to come back. You know,
it's his yearly gig to come back and do it.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Hey, Harball comes back, he won the national title, gets
to come back and do it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Does he send the the guy that did all the
scouting quote.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Connor Stallions, He'll be giving the pre pre commencement speech.
He'll be giving the commencement speech, telling you what they
said at Michigan State's commencement.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
That's that's what he would do. Yeah, what do they say?
What do they say? It's what did party say? Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I got that for you. But we we alluded to
this story earlier this hour that uh, the Steelers, particularly
star Cam Hayward, is fed up waiting on Aaron Rodgers
to make his decision. Because the the narrative that is
out there is that Rogers is weighing his decisions, whether
(23:04):
it is the Steelers, whether it is waiting for it
off from the Vikings, whether it is he wants to retire.
So he goes on the Not Just Football Podcast Tuesday
and say I'm not going to go to any great
lengths to try to go get Aaron Rodgers to come
to the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Here is Cam Hayward from earlier today.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
And the Darkness Darkness Treat Retreat. I don't mean any
of that crap, like either you want to be a
Pittsburgh Steeler or you don't. That's that's simple.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
That's the pitch.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
If you want me to recruit, that's the recruiting pitch.
You know, Pittsburgh Steelers. If you want to be part
of it, so be it. If you don't, let's get
on my back.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
That's saying, hey, listen, I'm not even though he did
do recruiting for Russell Wilson last year. Now deciding either
you're coming here or you're not. And Pittsburgh is a
blue collar town. You don't come here for stats or
for what you come here to win. And I get
that message right, and I get that that's a great
image for the Steelers to have, is that it is
(24:00):
is in an NFL that is constantly changing and more
glitz and glamour and more touchdowns and more everything. Hey,
the Pittsburgh Steelers, we're the same now as we were
in the seventies. Okay, we're We're the same team now,
same blue collar team, great defense, we run the football.
We only have three head coaches for the last sixty years.
This is how we do things here, Steve, this is
(24:21):
this is Pittsburgh. This is how we do it.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I was out in Pittsburgh this over the course of
the weekend and you know, we're in a waiting on
some food to go order at a bar slash restaurant,
and the Rogers thing came up, you know, up on
the television and you just heard guys start great, but
I want that prema down. I can't even talk about
the rest of what they had to say. I don't know,
(24:44):
I want the Rogers guy. I don't know. You just
want to come here? Why would you? Why you?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
You know, we should have got Kenny Pickett back from
Philadelphia they traded him. We got to watch him play
in the Browns. Now, it's gonna win that job. And
he's gonna come in here twice a year to acor sure,
he's gonna bind it. Beating us a couple of times
it's gonna happen. I was got Kenny Pickett pretty excited.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Though.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
They had a guy that there was a caricature of
him above him, and I'm like, what the hell's that guy?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Like?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
He's, you know, a legend of this area. Dude walked in.
He's home court at the bar, people buying the beers.
He didn't have to do anything, just walked in. But yeah, Rogers,
I can tell you the at least that small sampling
of Pittsburgh people, they want no part of it. I
agree with Cam Hayward though, no, yeah, you know, like
you either want to be here you don't, right, I
get it, but you're focusing on the wrong thing, and
Cam Hayward is focusing on the wrong thing.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
To make public, it's not Aaron Rodgers come here or not.
The thing that needs to be made public with team
leaders is to say, what the blank are we doing
at quarterback man?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
What are we doing? What are we doing continually shopping
in the bargain basement aisle? Why are we going after
quarterbacks that have long passed their expiration date that we're
hoping to squeeze another year out of We can't say
that out loud that's behind the scenes out here. It's
Aaron Rodgers fault. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I'm sorry, Mike tom Well, maybe you need to make
less decisions, or whoever is making the decisions for the Steelers.
A quarterback needs to have the keys taken from them
because the right question is what the hell are we doing?
What since when did you think we could go cheap
at quarterback and try to catch lightning in a bottle?
And that's a great strategy to win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Right?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
They tried to go cheap with Justin Fields, they tried
to go cheap with Russell Wilson. Now they want to
go cheap with Aaron Rodgers, or they'll bring Russell Wilson back.
While they wanted Justin Fields to stay, but the Jets
over bait.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
How do you think this is going to do well?
This is where I say the Steelers are getting to
the point of where the game has passed them by,
and the game is passing Mike Tomlin by. Because as
much as he wants to coach a certain way and
the Steelers want to have a certain image, you need
to understand that you don't just have guys come in
and you can win the Super Bowl with an average
(26:50):
quarterback and a great defense and a great running game
and a great receiver and a great title. You don't
do that anymore. It's happened a couple of times history,
but people talk about it like you can do it
every year. Remember Trent Dilford did it. That's one Super
Bowl twenty five years ago. You need great quarterbacks. Winston's
a reason why Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes have won
(27:12):
twenty four of the last twenty five Super Bowls.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Right, you need great quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
And the Steelers are just killing themselves by saying, yeah,
here's our guys, we're going after the last two years.
Nobody wanted Russell Wilson, will bring him in. Nobody wanted
Justin Fields, We'll bring him in. Nobody wants Aaron Rodgers.
The Jets said goodbye to Aaron Rodgers. Yeah that's who
we want. We want the guy the Jets said no to,
and the Jets will take anybody. That's what we want.
(27:36):
What are the Steelers doing and there needs somebody's got
to come out and say it. Someone's got to be
the adult and go, hey, let's pull the emergency brake
here and understand our planet quarterback sucks. We're not sustaining
any sort of competition for the future. We made a
big deal to bring in Dk Metcalf, who's twenty seven
in his prime. He's got three four years of being
a great receiver left right. So he got George Pickens
as young. Jalen Warren is young, Friar Muth is young.
(27:57):
The offensive line is good, the defense is always good
to be good fifty years in counting, the Steelers defense
is good. What are we doing a quarterback? What are
we doing? This makes absolutely no sense. If the Jets
had this strategy, or the Raiders had this strategy, or
before the Lions got good again, the Lions had this strategy,
they would just be dragged mercilessly through the mud. You
don't know what you're doing. But this is what the
(28:19):
Steelers have done now the last two plus years, and
it doesn't make anything.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
But the reason they're able to get away with it
is that they never bottom out right. They are just
good enough in infrastructure and what the roster is in
its construction that you still have that stupid ass streak.
And I say it because it impedes them from having
to do anything drastic or change direction is that you're
(28:43):
on one of those what's said Autopia at Disneyland, right,
it's gonna keep you on opia, Autotopia with Autotopia right,
So like you could bounce off that rail, but you're
still going forward.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It doesn't look good. It might be a rough ride,
you might have you know, your your chure will come
back on you, you don't know, but you're still moving forward.
And that's what the Steelers have been. It's not a smooth,
easy year at all ever. Right, you have the trial
month of September and then they close out strong and
(29:16):
all of a sudden they're back in playoff contention, and
Mike Domlin keeps from having that losing season. And you say, well,
Mike's doing a great job, and he does. He's a
great teacher, he's a great coach. But philosophically, it's like,
all right, this one tweak might actually push you further
and might make the rest of that slog a little
bit easier. Instead, you keep running back with it because
(29:38):
you're winning nine, ten, eleven games a year, whereas all
the teams you cite they were absolute dumpster fires down
in that three to six win period for a long,
long time to where it's the all right, we may
not get it right, but we're going to do something differently.
Steelers have never had that bottom out moment. They might
have a bad month where it looks too terrible, and
(30:00):
then guess what, they right the ship. They hit a
good stretch of the schedule, they look good, the offense
clicks for a bit, and then all of a sudden,
that dangerous four letter word creeps back into the world.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Hope telling you, man, that's the question. Someone's got to
have the guts to say, just what the hell are
we doing a quarterback?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Man. I know because Mike Tomlin is very much I'm
the smartest guy in the room to clearly you're not
clear enough. They told us when Russ had that start.
Nobody else is making these to say, nobody else wants
these quarterbacks. Nobody else wants this quarterbacks you have, Nobody
wants them. Omar Kahn is their GM. You'd be careful
because Omar coming. If you talk to out there, the
two guys they let go, one of them the Jets wanted,
(30:39):
the other one nobody wants. He's still the last guy there,
and the guy they want is the guy the Jets
didn't want to tell you. What are they doing? What
are you doing? When the Jets don't want you? You
hang them up? I'm telling you, man, I'm telling you.
See it's Frostburg. You and I are the same wave like, Hey,
it's Roki today.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Oh sorry me and Roki Frosburger, Sir.
