Speaker 1 (00:02):
The way you would get treated by people really did
affect how you treated people who came to your house
and work. In turn, like I have never not been
like you guys want coffee, you want you want an
iced tea, you want a water?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
You know, hey it's five o'clock. You want to be
here on your way home? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Like the difference and just and they very rarely take it,
but the difference in just being made to feel like
you're welcome here while you're working, you know, and so
many people act like you're walking into some you know,
a Biltmore castle or something like that, when you're going
into their house and white oak and it's like, hey,
I'm here to help you.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Stop making it like they're like, don't use that bathroom.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You know, there are people who really treat you like
an outsider in their own home, which I've never understood.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's like being mean to the person cooking your food, which.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Is also stupid.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I can say it's I never.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Did anything bad, it's stupid to do. It's just today
you were playing with playing with.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Boggers, Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You know, I remember there was a story that Steve Schrippa,
who played Bobby Buckala on The Sopranos, he was on
Conan O'Brien show, and he was talking about meeting Reggie
Jackson and Reggie Jackson was at this charity event. Reggie
Jackson a notorious jerk. Really no really yeah, yeah, not
a nice guy and he treated him poorly. And he
had like a you know, like a Make a Wish
(01:27):
kid that he wanted to introduce to Reggie Jackson, and
Reggie was not so pleasant. And he said that someone
came up to him and said, like a security guard
at this charity event came up to Steve tripp and said, hey,
I saw Reggie wasn't so nice to you. I just
want to let you know he's had a reputation for
doing that for decades. In fact, back in the day,
he came into my friend's restaurant in Manhattan and he
was a big jerk to him and the staff, and
(01:49):
so he ordered shrimp cocktail and the staff took the
shrimp and they did a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Of a no they put the shrimp where the sun
don't shine. No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
No, shrimp on the shrimp, and then they did a
snail drag with it and then may it put it
on his plate and they all watched him eat it
and enjoyed, like we got him, you know. And I'm
like thinking to myself upon hearing that story, how did
you make.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Me feel bad for Reggie Jackson? Yeah, he's supposed to
be there.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's a little over the line, you know, maybe giving
him one that's not deveined or something.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So that's this one. Take that, mister October, Right, that's
not so. But the other one is like, oh, your
friend should be in jail the aggressive.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes, yeah, straight to jail, Straight to jail, hanging brain
on your cocktail. So now, man, there was a guy
uh in college. He was trying to get this thing
going and I never there's a guy that hung out
with his name SCHMIDI and schmitt. He was like he
(03:01):
was a good guy, but he also was a little
like too much, you know, And so they would when
you act and you did something that was like you're
just doing too much. They he'd call it a schmidty
and be like, dude, cal him down, Schmitty. And he
started doing this thing where I don't know, I don't
know what goes through guy's heads when they are like
(03:22):
college age. But he would do like put his fingers
like like under his he like he'd do a scroat
drag basically, and then when you weren't like paying attention,
he would he would yell schmidty and under the nose,
give you a.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
And it was like, why did you invent this game
that you're only playing? No, nobody else is doing this.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And every time I hear somebody referenced schmidty, like my
old factory senses get like a shock, like muscle memory.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
What was it said?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Pro version of smelling salts. Yeah, I'll wake you all
the way up. It was like a total frat guy
that you do.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
And it was like, why are you doing full touchdown
a DK.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Throw it and run down the field and catch up.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
We'll I'll tell you what if if I was the
Browns GM Andrew Berry, I wouldn't go ordering shrimp cocktail
anywhere in Cleveland right now, and I'll just.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Fire myself if I was him.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Honestly, Coach Thomlin what doing after him yesterday? And his
press conference only seemed to throw gasoline on a blazing
fire in Cleveland, And Bill and I were both talking
about the fact that both on our algorithms were just
full of Philly sports.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Tuckland, I'm sorry, absolutely losing their mind yesterday over the
Steelers beat down of the Browns.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That's what happens.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I mean, honestly, the Steelers beat the Browns, and it
usually happens in Pittsburgh, and it's happened in Pittsburgh since
two thousand and three in the regular.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Season, and then they all just absolutely lose it. They
were screaming about Miles Garrett. When Toma made that comment
about Andrew Barry, they felt completely validated in their criticism of.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Him, and there I've never heard him name drop in
a press conference like that.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Tomlin, well, he's pissed because I'm thinking he thinks this
was a direct shot at the Seal like he did
this Andrew Berry, and you could tell Stefanski wasn't into it.
Stefansky wouldn't comment on coach Tomlin's comment about Andrew Berry yesterday.
I think Tomlin thinks Barry did it to screw the Steelers, like, hey,
(05:35):
anybody's gonna beat the Steelers.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
I've seen a bunch of scuttle butt online that is
basically saying it's a coaching fraternity and the coach in
the GM there's been a disconnect going all the way
back to the draft. Stefanski wanted Dylan Gabriel and then
all of a sudden, Andrew Barry got him Shadoor a
couple of rounds later. It does look like they're completely
(05:58):
and totally out of sync.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
What are they doing?
Speaker 6 (06:01):
A guy tells you he wants out of town, Miles Garrett,
and then you end up paying him a boatload of money,
basically caving into a player that said he didn't want
to play for you because you would never compete for
a championship and that's what he wanted to do with
his career.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And this was after they had his back after the
Mason Rudolph assault, which they never should have because that
was just assault. There's like, if there was a racial
epithet uttered there, we would have heard it, or it
would have like there would have been corroboration. There's none, like, oh,
the NFL, Mike's magically didn't pick up that one play,
(06:40):
Like we know that didn't happen in an unfairly maligned
Mason and all of a sudden, somehow Miles Garrett emerges
from that and he's a martyr, like are you kidding me?
And they had his back and then he's still spitting
their face. And then they paid him on top of that, right,
and now he's acting like he's the one who is
(07:02):
being put on, like put upon, like, oh yeah, well
I have to drag this crappy organization.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Dude, you took the money. You knew this is what
was going on there.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
But then with their first round pick this year, they
go out and get the Michigan kid who said Ohio
is dog bleep and hates the I know he's a
good player, and that changes once you, you know, get drafted
and especially that high, and your allegiances shift.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
But the self hate to pick that guy. First, well,
he's a Michigan guy. You're not going to find a
Michigan guy who thinks Ohio's okay, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
But you picked a guy that hates you. You pay a
guy that hates you.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
You traded for a guy, you you signed a guy,
you made him your opening day starter. You got rid
of the guy that you traded for before the season
even started. You traded the guy that you was your
opening day starter to a team in your division. And
now you've got two core that you just drafted, and
(08:03):
maybe neither of them are good.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I think it was a bad look for Tomlin to
do that yesterday, though, like I'm of two minds. In
one respect, I do like that he said it because
it's kind of fun that he called out another jim
way out of character. But it also kind of feels
like you're saying, like you're afraid of Joe Flacco.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well, yeah, he beat you last year.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Like there's an element to it where you can show
respect for Joe Flacco. And like I could also see
it if I were the Bengals, I would look at
that as like the coach is whining, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I mean the way that I look at it is, hey, man,
this is AFC North. We're not in the business of
throwing each other lifelines. If we see somebody in our
division down, kick them in the mouth the enemy. You
don't trade them a guy who can throw a deep
ball as good as anybody in the league when they
(08:56):
have two of the best receivers in the league.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
The enemy in my enemy is my friend.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And you know, if you're Andrew Barry, you might be
seeing this as some sun Zoo art of war stuff.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Yeah, but you're the Browns. You're not soun su Yeah,
your your dog water.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I think the bigger issue they have there is the
disconnect between owner GM and coach clearly, and it's been
fun to see them kind of wriggle around in that
morass over the last twenty four hours after having to
leave Pittsburgh with their tails between their legs. That was
maybe though I sat next to two Browns fans. The
least amount of Browns fans I've seen for a Steelers
(09:36):
Browns game here. I saw none walking into the stadium
like I saw a few hardly any Yeah, I saw a.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Few, but they're beaten down and they should be. Who
could blame them.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It's like pirates fans trying, you know, going to Wrigley
or something like that. You're just not going to see
a lot of them. Although that's a probably a back
comparis because people will go there just for the park.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
And then you get into the you know, the dynamic
of even if you had a franchise quarterback, you'd screw
it up. You wouldn't know what to do with it.
Baker Mayfield, he was in your building. You got rid
of them for a guy that had more cases than
P Diddy. Good job, guys, Well they're paying him. They're
paying eight quarterbacks right now, and they only have three
(10:19):
on the roster.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
A lot of people wrote off Baker Mayfield, and I
keep pointing this out because I wish he would have
been wearing black and gold. How great would it have
been to throw it back in their face and take
their franchise guy that they gave up on and turn
him into a champion.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I hated him.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
I thought he was a punk when he played for them,
But I agree he's I mean, he's.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
He talked about that. He's like, when you win, you're
not a punk anymore. When you're on a crap organization,
he's like, my behavior has not changed at all. When
he was Jawn at those guys in Seattle, Yeah, at
the fans, He's like, I've always done that stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
The difference is I'm on a team that's winning right now.
Differences you're not on the Browns, you're.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Not on the Browns, or that being said, they have
to stop, we have to stop thinking about the Browns,
or rather it just you know, reveling in the schadenfreud
of it all.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Why attention. We got a short week, dude. We're playing
in two days. We Tolers two days. Yes, I didn't know.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I'm on kickoff kick coverage. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
If you heard nice Yeah, well Miles Killerbrew went down.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
They needed somebody next man up. I said. Sure.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
It's an a fifteen kickoff on Thursday night against the Bengals,
and you can hear all the actions starting at four
o'clock here on DVE, your radio home of the Pittsburgh Stealers.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Abbey's got a news update for you.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
News this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Web Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot com. It's going to be
sunshine today with a high of seventy has Matt responded
to the People's Gas building on Pittsburgh's North Shore after
an employee opened an envelope that contained an unknown substance.
Emergency crews were on scene at the business in the
three hundred block of North Shore Drive. Three hundred employees
(11:58):
sheltered in place while cruise tested the substance, and public
safety officials said the substance was.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Flower baking flower and that was down on the north Shore.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, so shut down the business day after a steeler
gave you know, there were a bunch of creeps like,
oh man, somebody dumped it back.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We gotta get down there, O get it. No, no,
I'll test it, don't worry.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, so harmless baking flower.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
The substance was again determined to be harmless and the
building was able to resume normal operation.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You know what that probably was.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
But I was somebody trying to sell flour in little baggies.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
During the most game to drunk. Anybody need a little.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Did you guys ever hear anybody in Dublin offering drugs?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
There was one night we were in Temple Bar.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
We were at the actual Temple Bar, and we were
leaving because it.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Was was that the Thursday night shoulder to shoulder, No.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
In the bar, yeah, and somebody was like coke, coke,
coke outside and I was like a cola. I mean,
what are you offering me right now? And I just
walked past him and I didn't say anything, but I
was like, who is biting on that sales pitch?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
International? Blow? Yeah? Don't do they have a fentanyl issue
over there in the street?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Probably probably, it's probably everywhere, not that I would have
imbibed in any sense.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
But although knowing the like just talking to the Irish people,
it's probably more pure. There's probably not as many additives
in their cocaine.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, but it will give you diarrhea. Diarrhea like the water.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, yeah, they don't purify the water over there.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Good to know?
Speaker 8 (13:47):
Good?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Oh is that wid good to know?
Speaker 9 (13:50):
Why?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I get the wait?
Speaker 6 (13:52):
But wait, that was just with Guinness right apparently Okay,
because I was drinking those rock shores and five Lanes
two when I drank, no hangover, no nothing except violent.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Peace, urgent piece, urgent.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I did hear a guy actually exclaimed that upon being
he's a god.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Exactly? Do What does this do with you? Man?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
It's just a volume issue, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I think it is?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, And it was like so crowded you would wait
until the last second to happen.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Ye, we're having a party here.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Alec Baldwin says that he and his young brother Stephen
are fine after Alec crashed his wife's range Rover head
on into a tree.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Does this do anything? Does guy do anything that's not calamitous? No?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
He posted on Instagram that the accident happened yesterday morning
in East Hampton, New York. He says the crash happened
after a garbage truck cut him off and he had
no choice but to crash into the tree.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Alex says he feels bad he crushed his wife's car.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Alec Baldwin said he was in the area for the
Hampton's International Film Festival that wrapped up.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
That's getting ruined the tour. He loved smashing his wife's car.
Have you heard the way that she talks to him
in public?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
You know what it was actually on the heels of
She just had a story that was circulating yesterday where
she was opening up about her elimination from Dancing with
the Stars and she was saying that she was bullied
off the show.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, nobody liked you because you're annoying and pretend to
be like Latino when you were raised in Connecticut and
she might have that heritage, but she doesn't have an accent.
In that time, she was on the Today Show and
was trying to.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
She was searching for the word, the English word that
she definitely knows onon.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Yeah, it was like that, Well that was thing is
like I was reading the article where it's her talking,
and she was saying that, you know, it was a
really coordinated strategic bullying that she was taking off the show,
and that she was saying, uh, you know how it's
(16:06):
a rampant behavior of people who harass the famous. But
I read it in what I think her accent is,
and I actually don't even know what it sounds like
what she talks, but I was going I.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Did get bloed off the show. I did, That's for sure.
That is for sure.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Uh, they digged our lives and they demolishment, don't have
then he's thriving behavior.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
I was like going on, like, I don't even think
that's what she sounds like, but in my head that is.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
This is when she got busted.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
H And everyone's like, wait a minute, you don't talk
like that, Like all the people that grew up with
her were like, you've never had an accent.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
But I know this from what he learns. Okay, but
I met it before. Hold on, please explain what.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I don't know what that one is, but I can
say that, Michael, you have to not cut them to
tiny because they're not going to.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Have the right texture. And then I my husband hates
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oil she did somebody else tell her what?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Al what's the word oil? She has a translator with her? Okay,
he's from Bristol.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah, really was that guy from Stanford helping you with
your English?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It says that she's a yoga teacher.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I'm assuming that she's probably not currently teaching yoga.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Also, she's forty one.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Does she look forty one? Do you she looks older
than forty one to me? Same? Oh? Really?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Yeah, no, no that's not what She's very very pretty. Yeah,
she's pretty, but she does not look forty one.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Well. I think it's a lot of stress when you're
pretending to be Spanish. It takes so much.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
It takes you to lie all the time.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Lying ages you and.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
You're married to Alec Baldwin and you're having kids every
other year.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
They do have like fourteen children.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I don't know who's aging more poorly, Alec Baldwin or
Sean Penn. Like the stress on their face and the
beat red skin of of Cortisol zooming through their body
non stop for decades, like the bags under Alec Baldwin.
This is a guy who I'm like, you know, you
(18:34):
can't afford to take care of himself. When are they
both boozers? Though, well, I think Alec Baldwin is now sober.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Okayn panna boozer.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
He definitely legendarily so at one.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
But both of them smoke like chimneys too, Okay, just
angry cigarettes, but they are.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
You make a good point. They're both like quick to
anger people. And I do think that there's something about
that stress and cortisol and just immediately.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Clench that battle rage you.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, yeah, get wrinkles that way.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
He drove her car into a tree. He seriously, everything
he does, turns into it like a tragedy. Grips the
wheel and just goes, just backs it up, hits a
tree again, a catalls out of the tree dies.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Oh my god, Alex, very very sorry.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Sunshine today high at seventy.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I mean, I would imagine Cleveland Brown fans are feeling
the cortisols zooming through their veins. If sports Talking Cleveland
was any indication yesterday the Steelers, though, it's time to
focus on the Bengals. Thursday night countdown to kickoff. Tom
Offerman and Matt Williamson kicked that off at four pm
this Thursday, before pursuit of labs in Dulac Get the
(19:54):

Speaker 2 (20:33):
It's gotta be a nice day.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Partly cloudy with pizza, sunshine high of seventy one, clear
with just a few clouds tonight, dropping down to an
overnight low of fifty cloudy to partly cloudy with sun
from time to time. Tomorrow look for Hive sixty six.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
This is Butt Nort with Matthews Wall Anchor and water Prooferences.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
I'm sorry you're burning the time out now you Mike Tomlin,
it's not if you don't screw up, because.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That's well, Look, here's the thing, what.
Speaker 11 (21:13):
A little off the rail started to break again.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Look, some of the commentary is not for moms, okay,
but it leads us to the place where we need
to be, which is determining what Mike Tomlin's motivation was yesterday.
I kind of do feel Mike like he possibly regrets
what he did what he said yesterday, because it it
was like a kink in the armor or chink in
(21:38):
the armor, whatever the phrase is. I'm trying to be diplomatic,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's just right wow, no, yes, it didn't mean yes no.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Right is an actual like a dent? Why don't they
call it a dent? It was Look, it showed some
vulnerability from the change.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
When you said kink, I thought that that was.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Work.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But the cake, well, kink in the armor is also
sounds like something that could be kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
I haven't been on a day in a minute.
Speaker 11 (22:16):
Sports is something brook to you by Bridgeville clients.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Joe Flacco needs no endorsement from Mike Tomlin, but the
veteran QB got one anyway, yesterday, one game into Flacco's
just begun tenure with the Cincinnati Bengals on.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
The offensive side.
Speaker 12 (22:31):
Certainly, the story is Joe Flacco, and you know it's
reasonable to expect him to be significantly better in week two.
He's been in the stadium with him. Uh, They've been
in a stadium with him. They understand his demeanor, how
he deals with circumstances. I would imagine they worked hard
and we could go on. Developing time and in cohesion.
(22:52):
I'd imagine is taking a significant step after having done
so under some live football circumstances. I saw him make
some anticipatory throws even last week, and so I thought
he was significantly better as the game were on. And
so certainly we got a full week's work ahead of
us in terms of minimizing a veteran, savvy, talented thrower
(23:13):
like him, coupled with the eligibles that they have.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, they got eligibles, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
So Flacco historically has been pretty good when you try
to blitz him all right, as the Packers did, and
he can get rid of it. I'll burn you now
if Eccles, I'm not sure what happened with his injury
and what's going on with Slay shoulder.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
Everybody should be fine except Killer Brew and Austin.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Okay, if that's the case, Mike Tomlin should not be
that worried about Joe Flacco. In the past, they had
some vulnerabilities at corner and they had trouble russing the
passer beyond what TJ. Walt could do, especially after Heigsmith
got hurt. Like right now, this defense is a Joe
Flacco nightmare.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I think should be should.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Be That's my point, and that when he made those
comments yesterday, it comes off like he's a little scare
of it or it's something he didn't want to have
to contend with.
Speaker 13 (24:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Jake Browning is not a good quarterback at all, you know,
but he could move around a little bit. Joe Flacco
can't go anywhere. He's gonna get rid of the ball quick.
Oh yes he is. And the weird part is their
old line played pretty well and they had an injury.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
They were missing the starter at guard, so they had
to kind of reshuffle it around. Maybe they stumbled onto something.
I don't know, but I was watching that Packers Bengals
game while I was doing the postgame show, and you know,
you're just kind of the TV's on, but you're talking
to people.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Watched it again last night.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
First three drives, Flacco goes six of eleven for twenty
six yards, and some of the misses were like that
had no chance.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Some of them were just throwaways.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
From late second quarter to the end of the game,
this is a pretty good Green Bay defense. Purportedly, he
went twenty three of thirty four for one hundred and
ninety three yards, two touchdowns, no picks, and he also
completed a two point conversion, two touchdown passes on fourth downs,
and he was getting the ball to Jamar Chase.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
He's been good against the Packers this year.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah, yeh, he wasn't that good in that first game
against the Packers.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
No, he wasn't win the game, but the defense won
that game.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Blockfield goal won that game. To do anything in that
the four yard liners, it's got its game and got
a bench. Actually, yes, but he won it. He looks
like he still got it.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Uh, at least you know Thursday night, he's probably not
going to be too old to play.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Two days at the stage, yeah, oh yeah, two days.
Never know.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
Uh, what he's doing in Cincinnati is what Mike Tomlin
still apparently has a hard time wrapping his head around.
Speaker 12 (25:48):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
To be honest, it was shocking to me.
Speaker 12 (25:51):
Andrew Barry must be a lot smarter than me or us,
because it doesn't make sense to me to trade a
quarterback that you think enough of to make your opening
day starter to a division opponent that's hurting in that area.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But that's just my personal feelings.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
And Randy, I endorse everything you said before the break.
It's a bad look for Tomlin because he shouldn't be
commenting on how another team is doing its business. You know,
if you want to talk about their players like he
does every Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
This guy's good. This guy's good, This coach is good.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
He gives a twenty minute dissertation on how great the
team they're going to play is each and every time.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Now you're ready to play somebody.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
But also it makes it sound like he's a little
bit fraid of Joe Fleackaugh. Yeah, because I don't understand
because when they went to La Trobe and he did
his opening press conference, he's I don't have the transcript
right in front of me, but he said words to
the effect. We can line up and match up and
play with anybody. Coverage wise, we have depth and talent
a cornerback to handle depth and talent of the wide
(26:53):
receiving course we're going to face and certainly this one.
If it wasn't the Vikings with Addison and Jefferson, it's
the Bengals with and Higgins.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I think the reason at the end of that press
conference yesterday when he said, you guys are annoying me
today is because he was upset that he let his
guard down there. I think he was a little a
little disappointed in himself for letting that show.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
That's just you know, my armchair psycho analysis.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Bengals don't run the ball well up until last Sunday,
they couldn't protect the quarterback very well, but they have
just absurd combustibility.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Oh, by the way, Aaron Rodgers and DK and Jalen
Warrens should light this team up. I mean the Steelers
should put thirty points on him. Yeah, I don't forget
how bad that defense like, that's the part we're not
talking possibly down Hendrickson, right, I mean I don't know,
I haven't seen.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I mean, we're best case scenario his back is bad. Well,
it's a hip. According to the Bengals, his hip and
his back. They didn't practice.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
They didn't practice yesterday, but you know, they formulate what
would have taken place, and he was considered a non
participant with a hip. The guard, the rookie guard Dylan
Fairchild out of Georgia who missed the Packers game, was
considered a full participant.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Also, if they did in practice.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
No, that's my favorite walk through stuff, imaginary practices.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
If they would have he wouldn't have played.
Speaker 1 (28:15):

Did my best check baris our next guest, brought to
you by Schneider Downs. See what big thinking, what a
personal focus can do for you. It's gene genewing, mush.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Charing Ladies and gentlemen from the NFL on CBS. How
are you? I'm doing well?
Speaker 9 (30:52):
How are you doing? Uh?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You know? Gino? We beat the Browns you know at
home handily. The defense looks good.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Offense looks like it's starting to really, you know, find
another gear.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
There's nothing to worry about because we found another lineman exactly.
It's another gear technically.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
And then Thursday night we're right back at it with
another AFC North matchup.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know it's it's it's down in dirty time right now, Gino.
Speaker 9 (31:25):
Yeah, you can feel it, can't It's like you can
almost start to feel an identity here a little bit,
a little bit it h Yeah, it didn't feel like
that this week, Like, you know what, this defense is nasty,
you know, it's starting to happen.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So it's, uh, it's that time of the year. It
is that time of the year.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
And uh yeah, the identity of the defense was a
big part of that game on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
They were really laying the wood to the Browns. I
mean there were some big time hits, no question.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
AFC North football is like that, you know, and we
always knew that rough and like when you go into
these matchups, they just they crank it up. They play
an extra second or two as the whistle was blowing,
you know what I mean, it's like, I know you're down,
but I'm gonna punish you. You got to think about me.
Tuesday went in the ice bas I got them this one.
Whiskey you today you know what I mean, Like, you.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Know what, there was actually a play where they didn't
let them go. The Browns, I think kind of got
screwed on one where they blew it dead and I
don't know who it was, they caught it and he
broke free.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Do you know what I'm talking about there? And I
was like, I don't think that was forward progress. I
think he was not stopped.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
We went back a couple of decades, like in the grass,
the grass, in the grass, in the grass.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Everybody thought that rule was in the grass back then.
He's in the grass.
Speaker 9 (32:49):
That was a south side thing. Yeah, grass there, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah, the only grass out there. Not of that for sure. No,
there's a lot of grass there.
Speaker 9 (33:05):
He's in the sand.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
So let me ask you this, what happened on that
first Jabrill Pepper's penalty for the block in the back
or whatever that was that negated a great Keyshaw Williams return.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
You think that that was the right gall on him? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (33:23):
I do, And I think JJ did a really good
job of explaining it too. You know, you see that
now looks like I'm kind of flying by you with
my arms in the air, you know, half box and
I don't like a basketball play rebound or something, which
is what they're teaching and would like them to do
when they're when they're in that and that kind of
little bit chase mode side block feel. But then it
(33:43):
is the element of force with it, and he showed
his arms up high. But then right before he just
couldn't resist the temptation to land just a little bit
more of the body and then give you a little
more of a chuck and as necessary. But I thought
JJ broke it down really well on air, and I actually,
you know, kind of talk to him off, I said,
I said, dude, that was a really good explanation, Like
(34:03):
I maybe you need to get the mic in the
white hat and go down there, but you know, explain
a little bit more of that, Connie.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
JJ tould be a great referee in the NFL.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
Everybody quiet, I'm about to say something. You over there
wrote three. Quit it for a minute.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I'm about to make an announcement, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
But you you know, that's interesting point that you have
kind of an interesting vantage point for all these guys
as they start their careers, as they go from playing
into commentating, and some guys have more of a head
start than others. He really seems to be getting better
every game because he's doing most of the Steeler games.
But he really seems well suited to this.
Speaker 9 (34:42):
Yeah, you know what Randy, I mean, he is just
so talented and such a great guy too over which
makes things so much better too, you know what I mean,
Like when when everything comes together that way, and and
Iron Eagle as a play by play person truly I think,
you know, maybe the best in the entire business. And
and just being able to do anything at any time
(35:03):
and make it so comfortable, and that dance and that
that chemistry is not something that comes very naturally. It's
not a normal progression. And you know I can speak
to that firsthand. But when you have people of that
talent like I and that gets it and any other
thing I think JJ does really well. You know, it's
a visual thing. You're a TV announcer, so laying out
(35:24):
just letting the game play for a minute or two
before you go ahead and interject, you know, a nugget
here and there. It's it's not an easy thing.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
It's and I think he's really.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
On a great start and is a great asset for CBS,
without a doubt.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
I think the best adjustment they've made so far is
that JJ doesn't stand next to him anymore. He just
stays seated, and maybe Iron Eagle is just standing the
whole time, because if JJ stands up, he's out of
the frame.
Speaker 12 (35:50):
Billy.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
You know, we get kind of the dirty seed when
you're off the commercial and I can hear that Produca
saying I'm gonna do it on Tamber when you come
back from commercial, and then and then you see got
first shot, you know, and quite honestly, I had to
take that shot with my iPhone, you know, and shoot
it to Iron before they came back from commercial.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
I'm like, dude, stand.
Speaker 9 (36:09):
Up, get on two bosses, get on three boss what
you're gonna do? It was amazing And you look at
JJ's hand and you're like, dude, his hand is bigger
than Iron chests. This entire body, you know what I mean,
Like like, h hit the pause and take a look,
like no, that's his entire body and that's his boss up. Yeah,
(36:32):
they're equal, you know what I mean. It's like, oh
my goodness.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
It's like Frankenstein standing next to a child.
Speaker 11 (36:41):
Jean after Kansas City Detroit.
Speaker 8 (36:44):
When I watch a Chiefs game moving forward and I
see a yellow flax, I just assume it's on the
other team.
Speaker 9 (36:53):
Sometimes when you look up at the board. You know,
we used to have that the hoops all the time, right,
the falls were six zero, and you're like god, in basketball,
you could find that off the ball, a little truck
or something, you know, get the gooseg off the board.
But uh, you know you it happens. I mean, you're
you're working each play.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
But again, the Chiefs performed pretty well. The Chiefs didn't
play bad this week, Mikey, you know, I mean that
looked a little different too. So we're it's just that.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Timmy zero penalties starting to hit zero pen I mean,
how how unusual is that.
Speaker 9 (37:30):
I'll call you on Thursday after I scrubbed the tape.
We're gonna take a look at it here in about
five or six hours, I'll give you. I'll shoot you
a quick sex.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Uh that that golf touchdown that they called back though
they got that one right, right.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
They did.
Speaker 9 (37:50):
I know it firsthand. I missed the play in Baltimore.
In Chicago the day we had a tornado at Soldier Field.
It was an incompleted pass. Thank goodness on that play.
It caught me off guard a little bit.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
It's very unusual.
Speaker 9 (38:01):
And then the irony was it was the Philly special.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Play kind of in a lot of ways.
Speaker 9 (38:07):
And it's the same play we had in Super Bowl
fifty two, except Nick Foles did not get within one
yard of the center, which is, if you think about
it in real time, right when the quarterback goes under center,
he is basically, by definition, on the line of scrimmage,
So he becomes kind of an on the line of
scrimmage player as it relates to formation, which means he
(38:27):
can't go in motion from the line of scrimmage and
stay in motion. He would have to step back like
a receiver does when he's on the line, steps back,
pause for a second, then go in motion. So t
quarterbacks and I'll never forget the Philly special.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Like after Foles caught that ball.
Speaker 9 (38:44):
You start rewinding really quick, like, oh my gosh, was
he within the yard of that center before he started
the slides? He was right and in that game, understanding
that Bulachick knows the rules may be better than me
at times, or did you know it felt like I
remember like pausing and thinking, all right, just give it
one thousand and one and then look over to New England.
If Bilichick is beckoning you to the sideline, you completely
(39:07):
missed it up. He looked over, he pulled the dread
and pen.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Out of his ear.
Speaker 9 (39:11):
He started to write on the sheet like they got
us on that when it was like the relief of
my lifetime, thinking if he's writing down, then it must
have been. Okay, so we're good, We're good. Let's get
let's get really for the extra point, you know. But yeah,
it's a unique play.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
They got it right.
Speaker 9 (39:26):
It took a while, and sometimes those things do take
a little bit of time.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
That crew in the Patriots Saints game really took it
on the chin this weekend. One hundred and sixteen yards
of offense taken off the board, including touchdowns from Drake
May to Diggs and Vrabel was super pissed.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Now is it? Adrian Hill was the Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (39:51):
Was that?
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Adrian was the referee game? Yeah? Now, what do you
Dodrians defense?
Speaker 9 (39:56):
He didn't make any of those calls, right, right? He
just is the messenger hit So.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
But look, offensive pass interference is a tough one to
get wrong twice in the game.
Speaker 9 (40:11):
Yeah, so yes.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Rabel understandably upset afterwards?
Speaker 1 (40:17):
What do you do if you're Adrian Hill and you're
talking to your crew afterwards, like how do you come
back from the just like a coach talking to a
team that just got smoked to be like, hey, just
put this one behind you, put this one behind you,
and we'll get it right next week.
Speaker 9 (40:30):
Right. Well, you get into really the nuances and what
it means to be an official in this league, and
then in Adrian's position, to be a referee in this league,
you have someone on your crew that's struggling a little bit,
or at least struggled last Sunday, high pressure, making split
second decisions, trusting your instincts and finding out that those
instincts are.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Taking you down the wrong path, and then having.
Speaker 9 (40:52):
To sit and have kind of you know, I would
have one on ones with an official like that in
a little in a good way, self uprecating in some
ways with myself. Look, I've missed plays, We've missed them before.
You're relatively new. Uh, let's just get back to the basics.
Focus on your widest receiver because that's your position, work
your key, stay with that, Digest things, take breaths if
(41:14):
somebody comes to you after a decision was made and
wants to talk to you. They're coming to you for
a reason. So it's not an easy dance. It's a
very difficult and challenging thing to do. It's a human
condition too, right, I mean, so so there is that level.
That's that's really what happens Monday through Saturday, guys, you know,
I mean, there is that happens, and it's it is
(41:37):
like like you said, it's it's a coach and a player,
it's a brother on a crew. It's the transparency that
officials have to really get as a crew to get better.
And that's really not an easy thing to do in
life sometimes. But you've got to put it on the
wall and you've got to sit in the room and
you got to say, look, we can't make this calumn
nout like breathe through this stuff. And you know, so
(41:58):
it's it's not it's challenge and in their case, just
like players, right, I mean, you got to get through
the grading system.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Which is today for them.
Speaker 9 (42:06):
So this official is going to see a lot of checkmarks.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Wednesday's a hard day at home. The dog better or not?
Speaker 9 (42:12):
You know, kind to be on the couch or something
on Wednesday or Thursday, you know, and then you've got
to get it back and go back again and face
the fire here quicker than you believe, because the weeks
go quick. So yeah, those are the layers of this
journey that are challenging, and that's what kind of you
kind of find out whether you can make it or not.
Speaker 6 (42:33):
Jane, back to that Lions Chiefs game just for a second,
how do you deal from an officiating standpoint with the
melee that happened after the game, Because I got to
imagine you got to be careful. That's like running with
the bulls. I mean, you know, you can get trampled
in there.
Speaker 9 (42:49):
That's why I always be really definitive in clicking the
mic and saying this is the.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
End of the game. I'm off the clock. I know,
hard left here. There's red jerseys and white jerseys.
Speaker 9 (43:06):
I don't know what you're talking.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
About, you know that's on them.
Speaker 9 (43:11):
No, boys, I don't know what. We took care of
him for three hours.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
You guys got him for the next tournament.
Speaker 9 (43:19):
That's not you handle.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
He scared. Are brought to you by Schneider Downs this morning.
Speaker 9 (43:25):
Thanks, you know, thanks gods have a great way.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Sometimes the biggest business challenges are the ones you don't
even know you have.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Schneider Downs helps clients solve those challenges. Tax in accounting
The way you would get treated by people really did
affect how you treated people who came to your house
and work. In turn, like I have never not been
like you guys want coffee, you want you want an
iced tea, you want a water?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
You know, hey it's five o'clock. You want to be
here on your way home? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Like the difference and just and they very rarely take it,
but the difference in just being made to feel like
you're welcome here while you're working, you know, and so
many people act like you're walking into some you know,
a Biltmore castle or something like that, when you're going
into their house and white oak and it's like, hey,
I'm here to help you.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Stop making it like they're like, don't use that bathroom.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You know, there are people who really treat you like
an outsider in their own home, which I've never understood.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's like being mean to the person cooking your food, which.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Is also stupid.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I can say it's I never.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Did anything bad, it's stupid to do. It's just today
you were playing with playing with.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Boggers, Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You know, I remember there was a story that Steve Schrippa,
who played Bobby Buckala on The Sopranos, he was on
Conan O'Brien show, and he was talking about meeting Reggie
Jackson and Reggie Jackson was at this charity event. Reggie
Jackson a notorious jerk. Really no really yeah, yeah, not
a nice guy and he treated him poorly. And he
had like a you know, like a Make a Wish
(01:27):
kid that he wanted to introduce to Reggie Jackson, and
Reggie was not so pleasant. And he said that someone
came up to him and said, like a security guard
at this charity event came up to Steve tripp and said, hey,
I saw Reggie wasn't so nice to you. I just
want to let you know he's had a reputation for
doing that for decades. In fact, back in the day,
he came into my friend's restaurant in Manhattan and he
was a big jerk to him and the staff, and
(01:49):
so he ordered shrimp cocktail and the staff took the
shrimp and they did a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Of a no they put the shrimp where the sun
don't shine. No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
No, shrimp on the shrimp, and then they did a
snail drag with it and then may it put it
on his plate and they all watched him eat it
and enjoyed, like we got him, you know. And I'm
like thinking to myself upon hearing that story, how did
you make.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Me feel bad for Reggie Jackson? Yeah, he's supposed to
be there.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's a little over the line, you know, maybe giving
him one that's not deveined or something.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So that's this one. Take that, mister October, Right, that's
not so. But the other one is like, oh, your
friend should be in jail the aggressive.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes, yeah, straight to jail, Straight to jail, hanging brain
on your cocktail. So now, man, there was a guy
uh in college. He was trying to get this thing
going and I never there's a guy that hung out
with his name SCHMIDI and schmitt. He was like he
(03:01):
was a good guy, but he also was a little
like too much, you know, And so they would when
you act and you did something that was like you're
just doing too much. They he'd call it a schmidty
and be like, dude, cal him down, Schmitty. And he
started doing this thing where I don't know, I don't
know what goes through guy's heads when they are like
(03:22):
college age. But he would do like put his fingers
like like under his he like he'd do a scroat
drag basically, and then when you weren't like paying attention,
he would he would yell schmidty and under the nose,
give you a.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
And it was like, why did you invent this game
that you're only playing? No, nobody else is doing this.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And every time I hear somebody referenced schmidty, like my
old factory senses get like a shock, like muscle memory.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
What was it said?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Pro version of smelling salts. Yeah, I'll wake you all
the way up. It was like a total frat guy
that you do.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
And it was like, why are you doing full touchdown
a DK.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Throw it and run down the field and catch up.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
We'll I'll tell you what if if I was the
Browns GM Andrew Berry, I wouldn't go ordering shrimp cocktail
anywhere in Cleveland right now, and I'll just.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Fire myself if I was him.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Honestly, Coach Thomlin what doing after him yesterday? And his
press conference only seemed to throw gasoline on a blazing
fire in Cleveland, And Bill and I were both talking
about the fact that both on our algorithms were just
full of Philly sports.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Tuckland, I'm sorry, absolutely losing their mind yesterday over the
Steelers beat down of the Browns.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That's what happens.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I mean, honestly, the Steelers beat the Browns, and it
usually happens in Pittsburgh, and it's happened in Pittsburgh since
two thousand and three in the regular.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Season, and then they all just absolutely lose it. They
were screaming about Miles Garrett. When Toma made that comment
about Andrew Barry, they felt completely validated in their criticism of.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Him, and there I've never heard him name drop in
a press conference like that.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Tomlin, well, he's pissed because I'm thinking he thinks this
was a direct shot at the Seal like he did
this Andrew Berry, and you could tell Stefanski wasn't into it.
Stefansky wouldn't comment on coach Tomlin's comment about Andrew Berry yesterday.
I think Tomlin thinks Barry did it to screw the Steelers, like, hey,
(05:35):
anybody's gonna beat the Steelers.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
I've seen a bunch of scuttle butt online that is
basically saying it's a coaching fraternity and the coach in
the GM there's been a disconnect going all the way
back to the draft. Stefanski wanted Dylan Gabriel and then
all of a sudden, Andrew Barry got him Shadoor a
couple of rounds later. It does look like they're completely
(05:58):
and totally out of sync.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
What are they doing?
Speaker 6 (06:01):
A guy tells you he wants out of town, Miles Garrett,
and then you end up paying him a boatload of money,
basically caving into a player that said he didn't want
to play for you because you would never compete for
a championship and that's what he wanted to do with
his career.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And this was after they had his back after the
Mason Rudolph assault, which they never should have because that
was just assault. There's like, if there was a racial
epithet uttered there, we would have heard it, or it
would have like there would have been corroboration. There's none, like, oh,
the NFL, Mike's magically didn't pick up that one play,
(06:40):
Like we know that didn't happen in an unfairly maligned
Mason and all of a sudden, somehow Miles Garrett emerges
from that and he's a martyr, like are you kidding me?
And they had his back and then he's still spitting
their face. And then they paid him on top of that, right,
and now he's acting like he's the one who is
(07:02):
being put on, like put upon, like, oh yeah, well
I have to drag this crappy organization.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Dude, you took the money. You knew this is what
was going on there.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
But then with their first round pick this year, they
go out and get the Michigan kid who said Ohio
is dog bleep and hates the I know he's a
good player, and that changes once you, you know, get drafted
and especially that high, and your allegiances shift.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
But the self hate to pick that guy. First, well,
he's a Michigan guy. You're not going to find a
Michigan guy who thinks Ohio's okay, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
But you picked a guy that hates you. You pay a
guy that hates you.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
You traded for a guy, you you signed a guy,
you made him your opening day starter. You got rid
of the guy that you traded for before the season
even started. You traded the guy that you was your
opening day starter to a team in your division. And
now you've got two core that you just drafted, and
(08:03):
maybe neither of them are good.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I think it was a bad look for Tomlin to
do that yesterday, though, like I'm of two minds. In
one respect, I do like that he said it because
it's kind of fun that he called out another jim
way out of character. But it also kind of feels
like you're saying, like you're afraid of Joe Flacco.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well, yeah, he beat you last year.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Like there's an element to it where you can show
respect for Joe Flacco. And like I could also see
it if I were the Bengals, I would look at
that as like the coach is whining, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I mean the way that I look at it is, hey, man,
this is AFC North. We're not in the business of
throwing each other lifelines. If we see somebody in our
division down, kick them in the mouth the enemy. You
don't trade them a guy who can throw a deep
ball as good as anybody in the league when they
(08:56):
have two of the best receivers in the league.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
The enemy in my enemy is my friend.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And you know, if you're Andrew Barry, you might be
seeing this as some sun Zoo art of war stuff.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Yeah, but you're the Browns. You're not soun su Yeah,
your your dog water.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I think the bigger issue they have there is the
disconnect between owner GM and coach clearly, and it's been
fun to see them kind of wriggle around in that
morass over the last twenty four hours after having to
leave Pittsburgh with their tails between their legs. That was
maybe though I sat next to two Browns fans. The
least amount of Browns fans I've seen for a Steelers
(09:36):
Browns game here. I saw none walking into the stadium
like I saw a few hardly any Yeah, I saw a.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Few, but they're beaten down and they should be. Who
could blame them.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It's like pirates fans trying, you know, going to Wrigley
or something like that. You're just not going to see
a lot of them. Although that's a probably a back
comparis because people will go there just for the park.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
And then you get into the you know, the dynamic
of even if you had a franchise quarterback, you'd screw
it up. You wouldn't know what to do with it.
Baker Mayfield, he was in your building. You got rid
of them for a guy that had more cases than
P Diddy. Good job, guys, Well they're paying him. They're
paying eight quarterbacks right now, and they only have three
(10:19):
on the roster.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
A lot of people wrote off Baker Mayfield, and I
keep pointing this out because I wish he would have
been wearing black and gold. How great would it have
been to throw it back in their face and take
their franchise guy that they gave up on and turn
him into a champion.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I hated him.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
I thought he was a punk when he played for them,
But I agree he's I mean, he's.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
He talked about that. He's like, when you win, you're
not a punk anymore. When you're on a crap organization,
he's like, my behavior has not changed at all. When
he was Jawn at those guys in Seattle, Yeah, at
the fans, He's like, I've always done that stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
The difference is I'm on a team that's winning right now.
Differences you're not on the Browns, you're.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Not on the Browns, or that being said, they have
to stop, we have to stop thinking about the Browns,
or rather it just you know, reveling in the schadenfreud
of it all.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Why attention. We got a short week, dude. We're playing
in two days. We Tolers two days. Yes, I didn't know.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I'm on kickoff kick coverage. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
If you heard nice Yeah, well Miles Killerbrew went down.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
They needed somebody next man up. I said. Sure.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
It's an a fifteen kickoff on Thursday night against the Bengals,
and you can hear all the actions starting at four
o'clock here on DVE, your radio home of the Pittsburgh Stealers.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Abbey's got a news update for you.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
News this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Web Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot com. It's going to be
sunshine today with a high of seventy has Matt responded
to the People's Gas building on Pittsburgh's North Shore after
an employee opened an envelope that contained an unknown substance.
Emergency crews were on scene at the business in the
three hundred block of North Shore Drive. Three hundred employees
(11:58):
sheltered in place while cruise tested the substance, and public
safety officials said the substance was.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Flower baking flower and that was down on the north Shore.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, so shut down the business day after a steeler
gave you know, there were a bunch of creeps like,
oh man, somebody dumped it back.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We gotta get down there, O get it. No, no,
I'll test it, don't worry.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, so harmless baking flower.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
The substance was again determined to be harmless and the
building was able to resume normal operation.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You know what that probably was.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
But I was somebody trying to sell flour in little baggies.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
During the most game to drunk. Anybody need a little.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Did you guys ever hear anybody in Dublin offering drugs?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
There was one night we were in Temple Bar.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
We were at the actual Temple Bar, and we were
leaving because it.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Was was that the Thursday night shoulder to shoulder, No.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
In the bar, yeah, and somebody was like coke, coke,
coke outside and I was like a cola. I mean,
what are you offering me right now? And I just
walked past him and I didn't say anything, but I
was like, who is biting on that sales pitch?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
International? Blow? Yeah? Don't do they have a fentanyl issue
over there in the street?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Probably probably, it's probably everywhere, not that I would have
imbibed in any sense.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
But although knowing the like just talking to the Irish people,
it's probably more pure. There's probably not as many additives
in their cocaine.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, but it will give you diarrhea. Diarrhea like the water.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, yeah, they don't purify the water over there.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Good to know?
Speaker 8 (13:47):
Good?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Oh is that wid good to know?
Speaker 9 (13:50):
Why?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I get the wait?
Speaker 6 (13:52):
But wait, that was just with Guinness right apparently Okay,
because I was drinking those rock shores and five Lanes
two when I drank, no hangover, no nothing except violent.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Peace, urgent piece, urgent.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I did hear a guy actually exclaimed that upon being
he's a god.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Exactly? Do What does this do with you? Man?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
It's just a volume issue, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I think it is?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, And it was like so crowded you would wait
until the last second to happen.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Ye, we're having a party here.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Alec Baldwin says that he and his young brother Stephen
are fine after Alec crashed his wife's range Rover head
on into a tree.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Does this do anything? Does guy do anything that's not calamitous? No?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
He posted on Instagram that the accident happened yesterday morning
in East Hampton, New York. He says the crash happened
after a garbage truck cut him off and he had
no choice but to crash into the tree.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Alex says he feels bad he crushed his wife's car.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Alec Baldwin said he was in the area for the
Hampton's International Film Festival that wrapped up.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
That's getting ruined the tour. He loved smashing his wife's car.
Have you heard the way that she talks to him
in public?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
You know what it was actually on the heels of
She just had a story that was circulating yesterday where
she was opening up about her elimination from Dancing with
the Stars and she was saying that she was bullied
off the show.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, nobody liked you because you're annoying and pretend to
be like Latino when you were raised in Connecticut and
she might have that heritage, but she doesn't have an accent.
In that time, she was on the Today Show and
was trying to.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
She was searching for the word, the English word that
she definitely knows onon.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Yeah, it was like that, Well that was thing is
like I was reading the article where it's her talking,
and she was saying that, you know, it was a
really coordinated strategic bullying that she was taking off the show,
and that she was saying, uh, you know how it's
(16:06):
a rampant behavior of people who harass the famous. But
I read it in what I think her accent is,
and I actually don't even know what it sounds like
what she talks, but I was going I.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Did get bloed off the show. I did, That's for sure.
That is for sure.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Uh, they digged our lives and they demolishment, don't have
then he's thriving behavior.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
I was like going on, like, I don't even think
that's what she sounds like, but in my head that is.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
This is when she got busted.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
H And everyone's like, wait a minute, you don't talk
like that, Like all the people that grew up with
her were like, you've never had an accent.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
But I know this from what he learns. Okay, but
I met it before. Hold on, please explain what.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I don't know what that one is, but I can
say that, Michael, you have to not cut them to
tiny because they're not going to.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Have the right texture. And then I my husband hates
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oil she did somebody else tell her what?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Al what's the word oil? She has a translator with her? Okay,
he's from Bristol.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah, really was that guy from Stanford helping you with
your English?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It says that she's a yoga teacher.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I'm assuming that she's probably not currently teaching yoga.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Also, she's forty one.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Does she look forty one? Do you she looks older
than forty one to me? Same? Oh? Really?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Yeah, no, no that's not what She's very very pretty. Yeah,
she's pretty, but she does not look forty one.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Well. I think it's a lot of stress when you're
pretending to be Spanish. It takes so much.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
It takes you to lie all the time.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Lying ages you and.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
You're married to Alec Baldwin and you're having kids every
other year.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
They do have like fourteen children.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I don't know who's aging more poorly, Alec Baldwin or
Sean Penn. Like the stress on their face and the
beat red skin of of Cortisol zooming through their body
non stop for decades, like the bags under Alec Baldwin.
This is a guy who I'm like, you know, you
(18:34):
can't afford to take care of himself. When are they
both boozers? Though, well, I think Alec Baldwin is now sober.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Okayn panna boozer.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
He definitely legendarily so at one.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
But both of them smoke like chimneys too, Okay, just
angry cigarettes, but they are.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
You make a good point. They're both like quick to
anger people. And I do think that there's something about
that stress and cortisol and just immediately.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Clench that battle rage you.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, yeah, get wrinkles that way.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
He drove her car into a tree. He seriously, everything
he does, turns into it like a tragedy. Grips the
wheel and just goes, just backs it up, hits a
tree again, a catalls out of the tree dies.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Oh my god, Alex, very very sorry.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Sunshine today high at seventy.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I mean, I would imagine Cleveland Brown fans are feeling
the cortisols zooming through their veins. If sports Talking Cleveland
was any indication yesterday the Steelers, though, it's time to
focus on the Bengals. Thursday night countdown to kickoff. Tom
Offerman and Matt Williamson kicked that off at four pm
this Thursday, before pursuit of labs in Dulac Get the

Speaker 10 (20:51):
I'm sorry you're burning the time out now you Mike Tomlin,
it's not if you don't screw up, because.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That's well, Look, here's the thing, what.
Speaker 11 (21:13):
A little off the rail started to break again.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Look, some of the commentary is not for moms, okay,
but it leads us to the place where we need
to be, which is determining what Mike Tomlin's motivation was yesterday.
I kind of do feel Mike like he possibly regrets
what he did what he said yesterday, because it it
was like a kink in the armor or chink in
(21:38):
the armor, whatever the phrase is. I'm trying to be diplomatic,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's just right wow, no, yes, it didn't mean yes no.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Right is an actual like a dent? Why don't they
call it a dent? It was Look, it showed some
vulnerability from the change.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
When you said kink, I thought that that was.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Work.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But the cake, well, kink in the armor is also
sounds like something that could be kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
I haven't been on a day in a minute.
Speaker 11 (22:16):
Sports is something brook to you by Bridgeville clients.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Joe Flacco needs no endorsement from Mike Tomlin, but the
veteran QB got one anyway, yesterday, one game into Flacco's
just begun tenure with the Cincinnati Bengals on.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
The offensive side.
Speaker 12 (22:31):
Certainly, the story is Joe Flacco, and you know it's
reasonable to expect him to be significantly better in week two.
He's been in the stadium with him. Uh, They've been
in a stadium with him. They understand his demeanor, how
he deals with circumstances. I would imagine they worked hard
and we could go on. Developing time and in cohesion.
(22:52):
I'd imagine is taking a significant step after having done
so under some live football circumstances. I saw him make
some anticipatory throws even last week, and so I thought
he was significantly better as the game were on. And
so certainly we got a full week's work ahead of
us in terms of minimizing a veteran, savvy, talented thrower
(23:13):
like him, coupled with the eligibles that they have.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, they got eligibles, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
So Flacco historically has been pretty good when you try
to blitz him all right, as the Packers did, and
he can get rid of it. I'll burn you now
if Eccles, I'm not sure what happened with his injury
and what's going on with Slay shoulder.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
Everybody should be fine except Killer Brew and Austin.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Okay, if that's the case, Mike Tomlin should not be
that worried about Joe Flacco. In the past, they had
some vulnerabilities at corner and they had trouble russing the
passer beyond what TJ. Walt could do, especially after Heigsmith
got hurt. Like right now, this defense is a Joe
Flacco nightmare.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I think should be should.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Be That's my point, and that when he made those
comments yesterday, it comes off like he's a little scare
of it or it's something he didn't want to have
to contend with.
Speaker 13 (24:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Jake Browning is not a good quarterback at all, you know,
but he could move around a little bit. Joe Flacco
can't go anywhere. He's gonna get rid of the ball quick.
Oh yes he is. And the weird part is their
old line played pretty well and they had an injury.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
They were missing the starter at guard, so they had
to kind of reshuffle it around. Maybe they stumbled onto something.
I don't know, but I was watching that Packers Bengals
game while I was doing the postgame show, and you know,
you're just kind of the TV's on, but you're talking
to people.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Watched it again last night.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
First three drives, Flacco goes six of eleven for twenty
six yards, and some of the misses were like that
had no chance.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Some of them were just throwaways.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
From late second quarter to the end of the game,
this is a pretty good Green Bay defense. Purportedly, he
went twenty three of thirty four for one hundred and
ninety three yards, two touchdowns, no picks, and he also
completed a two point conversion, two touchdown passes on fourth downs,
and he was getting the ball to Jamar Chase.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
He's been good against the Packers this year.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah, yeh, he wasn't that good in that first game
against the Packers.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
No, he wasn't win the game, but the defense won
that game.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Blockfield goal won that game. To do anything in that
the four yard liners, it's got its game and got
a bench. Actually, yes, but he won it. He looks
like he still got it.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Uh, at least you know Thursday night, he's probably not
going to be too old to play.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Two days at the stage, yeah, oh yeah, two days.
Never know.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
Uh, what he's doing in Cincinnati is what Mike Tomlin
still apparently has a hard time wrapping his head around.
Speaker 12 (25:48):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
To be honest, it was shocking to me.
Speaker 12 (25:51):
Andrew Barry must be a lot smarter than me or us,
because it doesn't make sense to me to trade a
quarterback that you think enough of to make your opening
day starter to a division opponent that's hurting in that area.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But that's just my personal feelings.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
And Randy, I endorse everything you said before the break.
It's a bad look for Tomlin because he shouldn't be
commenting on how another team is doing its business. You know,
if you want to talk about their players like he
does every Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
This guy's good. This guy's good, This coach is good.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
He gives a twenty minute dissertation on how great the
team they're going to play is each and every time.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Now you're ready to play somebody.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
But also it makes it sound like he's a little
bit fraid of Joe Fleackaugh. Yeah, because I don't understand
because when they went to La Trobe and he did
his opening press conference, he's I don't have the transcript
right in front of me, but he said words to
the effect. We can line up and match up and
play with anybody. Coverage wise, we have depth and talent
a cornerback to handle depth and talent of the wide
(26:53):
receiving course we're going to face and certainly this one.
If it wasn't the Vikings with Addison and Jefferson, it's
the Bengals with and Higgins.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I think the reason at the end of that press
conference yesterday when he said, you guys are annoying me
today is because he was upset that he let his
guard down there. I think he was a little a
little disappointed in himself for letting that show.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
That's just you know, my armchair psycho analysis.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Bengals don't run the ball well up until last Sunday,
they couldn't protect the quarterback very well, but they have
just absurd combustibility.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Oh, by the way, Aaron Rodgers and DK and Jalen
Warrens should light this team up. I mean the Steelers
should put thirty points on him. Yeah, I don't forget
how bad that defense like, that's the part we're not
talking possibly down Hendrickson, right, I mean I don't know,
I haven't seen.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I mean, we're best case scenario his back is bad. Well,
it's a hip. According to the Bengals, his hip and
his back. They didn't practice.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
They didn't practice yesterday, but you know, they formulate what
would have taken place, and he was considered a non
participant with a hip. The guard, the rookie guard Dylan
Fairchild out of Georgia who missed the Packers game, was
considered a full participant.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Also, if they did in practice.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
No, that's my favorite walk through stuff, imaginary practices.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
If they would have he wouldn't have played.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, Meryl Hodge coming up after the I'm sorry, Gene
Territor coming up after the break, Abby, you'll have your
news at the top of the hour.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Did my best check baris our next guest, brought to
you by Schneider Downs. See what big thinking, what a
personal focus can do for you. It's gene genewing, mush.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Charing Ladies and gentlemen from the NFL on CBS. How
are you? I'm doing well?
Speaker 9 (30:52):
How are you doing? Uh?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You know? Gino? We beat the Browns you know at
home handily. The defense looks good.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Offense looks like it's starting to really, you know, find
another gear.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
There's nothing to worry about because we found another lineman exactly.
It's another gear technically.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
And then Thursday night we're right back at it with
another AFC North matchup.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know it's it's it's down in dirty time right now, Gino.
Speaker 9 (31:25):
Yeah, you can feel it, can't It's like you can
almost start to feel an identity here a little bit,
a little bit it h Yeah, it didn't feel like
that this week, Like, you know what, this defense is nasty,
you know, it's starting to happen.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So it's, uh, it's that time of the year. It
is that time of the year.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
And uh yeah, the identity of the defense was a
big part of that game on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
They were really laying the wood to the Browns. I
mean there were some big time hits, no question.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
AFC North football is like that, you know, and we
always knew that rough and like when you go into
these matchups, they just they crank it up. They play
an extra second or two as the whistle was blowing,
you know what I mean, it's like, I know you're down,
but I'm gonna punish you. You got to think about me.
Tuesday went in the ice bas I got them this one.
Whiskey you today you know what I mean, Like, you.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Know what, there was actually a play where they didn't
let them go. The Browns, I think kind of got
screwed on one where they blew it dead and I
don't know who it was, they caught it and he
broke free.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Do you know what I'm talking about there? And I
was like, I don't think that was forward progress. I
think he was not stopped.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
We went back a couple of decades, like in the grass,
the grass, in the grass, in the grass.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Everybody thought that rule was in the grass back then.
He's in the grass.
Speaker 9 (32:49):
That was a south side thing. Yeah, grass there, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah, the only grass out there. Not of that for sure. No,
there's a lot of grass there.
Speaker 9 (33:05):
He's in the sand.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
So let me ask you this, what happened on that
first Jabrill Pepper's penalty for the block in the back
or whatever that was that negated a great Keyshaw Williams return.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
You think that that was the right gall on him? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (33:23):
I do, And I think JJ did a really good
job of explaining it too. You know, you see that
now looks like I'm kind of flying by you with
my arms in the air, you know, half box and
I don't like a basketball play rebound or something, which
is what they're teaching and would like them to do
when they're when they're in that and that kind of
little bit chase mode side block feel. But then it
(33:43):
is the element of force with it, and he showed
his arms up high. But then right before he just
couldn't resist the temptation to land just a little bit
more of the body and then give you a little
more of a chuck and as necessary. But I thought
JJ broke it down really well on air, and I actually,
you know, kind of talk to him off, I said,
I said, dude, that was a really good explanation, Like
(34:03):
I maybe you need to get the mic in the
white hat and go down there, but you know, explain
a little bit more of that, Connie.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
JJ tould be a great referee in the NFL.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
Everybody quiet, I'm about to say something. You over there
wrote three. Quit it for a minute.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I'm about to make an announcement, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
But you you know, that's interesting point that you have
kind of an interesting vantage point for all these guys
as they start their careers, as they go from playing
into commentating, and some guys have more of a head
start than others. He really seems to be getting better
every game because he's doing most of the Steeler games.
But he really seems well suited to this.
Speaker 9 (34:42):
Yeah, you know what Randy, I mean, he is just
so talented and such a great guy too over which
makes things so much better too, you know what I mean,
Like when when everything comes together that way, and and
Iron Eagle as a play by play person truly I think,
you know, maybe the best in the entire business. And
and just being able to do anything at any time
(35:03):
and make it so comfortable, and that dance and that
that chemistry is not something that comes very naturally. It's
not a normal progression. And you know I can speak
to that firsthand. But when you have people of that
talent like I and that gets it and any other
thing I think JJ does really well. You know, it's
a visual thing. You're a TV announcer, so laying out
(35:24):
just letting the game play for a minute or two
before you go ahead and interject, you know, a nugget
here and there. It's it's not an easy thing.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
It's and I think he's really.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
On a great start and is a great asset for CBS,
without a doubt.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
I think the best adjustment they've made so far is
that JJ doesn't stand next to him anymore. He just
stays seated, and maybe Iron Eagle is just standing the
whole time, because if JJ stands up, he's out of
the frame.
Speaker 12 (35:50):
Billy.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
You know, we get kind of the dirty seed when
you're off the commercial and I can hear that Produca
saying I'm gonna do it on Tamber when you come
back from commercial, and then and then you see got
first shot, you know, and quite honestly, I had to
take that shot with my iPhone, you know, and shoot
it to Iron before they came back from commercial.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
I'm like, dude, stand.
Speaker 9 (36:09):
Up, get on two bosses, get on three boss what
you're gonna do? It was amazing And you look at
JJ's hand and you're like, dude, his hand is bigger
than Iron chests. This entire body, you know what I mean,
Like like, h hit the pause and take a look,
like no, that's his entire body and that's his boss up. Yeah,
(36:32):
they're equal, you know what I mean. It's like, oh
my goodness.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
It's like Frankenstein standing next to a child.
Speaker 11 (36:41):
Jean after Kansas City Detroit.
Speaker 8 (36:44):
When I watch a Chiefs game moving forward and I
see a yellow flax, I just assume it's on the
other team.
Speaker 9 (36:53):
Sometimes when you look up at the board. You know,
we used to have that the hoops all the time, right,
the falls were six zero, and you're like god, in basketball,
you could find that off the ball, a little truck
or something, you know, get the gooseg off the board.
But uh, you know you it happens. I mean, you're
you're working each play.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
But again, the Chiefs performed pretty well. The Chiefs didn't
play bad this week, Mikey, you know, I mean that
looked a little different too. So we're it's just that.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Timmy zero penalties starting to hit zero pen I mean,
how how unusual is that.
Speaker 9 (37:30):
I'll call you on Thursday after I scrubbed the tape.
We're gonna take a look at it here in about
five or six hours, I'll give you. I'll shoot you
a quick sex.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Uh that that golf touchdown that they called back though
they got that one right, right.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
They did.
Speaker 9 (37:50):
I know it firsthand. I missed the play in Baltimore.
In Chicago the day we had a tornado at Soldier Field.
It was an incompleted pass. Thank goodness on that play.
It caught me off guard a little bit.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
It's very unusual.
Speaker 9 (38:01):
And then the irony was it was the Philly special.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Play kind of in a lot of ways.
Speaker 9 (38:07):
And it's the same play we had in Super Bowl
fifty two, except Nick Foles did not get within one
yard of the center, which is, if you think about
it in real time, right when the quarterback goes under center,
he is basically, by definition, on the line of scrimmage,
So he becomes kind of an on the line of
scrimmage player as it relates to formation, which means he
(38:27):
can't go in motion from the line of scrimmage and
stay in motion. He would have to step back like
a receiver does when he's on the line, steps back,
pause for a second, then go in motion. So t
quarterbacks and I'll never forget the Philly special.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Like after Foles caught that ball.
Speaker 9 (38:44):
You start rewinding really quick, like, oh my gosh, was
he within the yard of that center before he started
the slides? He was right and in that game, understanding
that Bulachick knows the rules may be better than me
at times, or did you know it felt like I
remember like pausing and thinking, all right, just give it
one thousand and one and then look over to New England.
If Bilichick is beckoning you to the sideline, you completely
(39:07):
missed it up. He looked over, he pulled the dread
and pen.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Out of his ear.
Speaker 9 (39:11):
He started to write on the sheet like they got
us on that when it was like the relief of
my lifetime, thinking if he's writing down, then it must
have been. Okay, so we're good, We're good. Let's get
let's get really for the extra point, you know. But yeah,
it's a unique play.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
They got it right.
Speaker 9 (39:26):
It took a while, and sometimes those things do take
a little bit of time.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
That crew in the Patriots Saints game really took it
on the chin this weekend. One hundred and sixteen yards
of offense taken off the board, including touchdowns from Drake
May to Diggs and Vrabel was super pissed.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Now is it? Adrian Hill was the Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (39:51):
Was that?
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Adrian was the referee game? Yeah? Now, what do you
Dodrians defense?
Speaker 9 (39:56):
He didn't make any of those calls, right, right? He
just is the messenger hit So.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
But look, offensive pass interference is a tough one to
get wrong twice in the game.
Speaker 9 (40:11):
Yeah, so yes.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Rabel understandably upset afterwards?
Speaker 1 (40:17):
What do you do if you're Adrian Hill and you're
talking to your crew afterwards, like how do you come
back from the just like a coach talking to a
team that just got smoked to be like, hey, just
put this one behind you, put this one behind you,
and we'll get it right next week.
Speaker 9 (40:30):
Right. Well, you get into really the nuances and what
it means to be an official in this league, and
then in Adrian's position, to be a referee in this league,
you have someone on your crew that's struggling a little bit,
or at least struggled last Sunday, high pressure, making split
second decisions, trusting your instincts and finding out that those
instincts are.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Taking you down the wrong path, and then having.
Speaker 9 (40:52):
To sit and have kind of you know, I would
have one on ones with an official like that in
a little in a good way, self uprecating in some
ways with myself. Look, I've missed plays, We've missed them before.
You're relatively new. Uh, let's just get back to the basics.
Focus on your widest receiver because that's your position, work
your key, stay with that, Digest things, take breaths if
(41:14):
somebody comes to you after a decision was made and
wants to talk to you. They're coming to you for
a reason. So it's not an easy dance. It's a
very difficult and challenging thing to do. It's a human
condition too, right, I mean, so so there is that level.
That's that's really what happens Monday through Saturday, guys, you know,
I mean, there is that happens, and it's it is
(41:37):
like like you said, it's it's a coach and a player,
it's a brother on a crew. It's the transparency that
officials have to really get as a crew to get better.
And that's really not an easy thing to do in
life sometimes. But you've got to put it on the
wall and you've got to sit in the room and
you got to say, look, we can't make this calumn
nout like breathe through this stuff. And you know, so
(41:58):
it's it's not it's challenge and in their case, just
like players, right, I mean, you got to get through
the grading system.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Which is today for them.
Speaker 9 (42:06):
So this official is going to see a lot of checkmarks.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Wednesday's a hard day at home. The dog better or not?
Speaker 9 (42:12):
You know, kind to be on the couch or something
on Wednesday or Thursday, you know, and then you've got
to get it back and go back again and face
the fire here quicker than you believe, because the weeks
go quick. So yeah, those are the layers of this
journey that are challenging, and that's what kind of you
kind of find out whether you can make it or not.
Speaker 6 (42:33):
Jane, back to that Lions Chiefs game just for a second,
how do you deal from an officiating standpoint with the
melee that happened after the game, Because I got to
imagine you got to be careful. That's like running with
the bulls. I mean, you know, you can get trampled
in there.
Speaker 9 (42:49):
That's why I always be really definitive in clicking the
mic and saying this is the.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
End of the game. I'm off the clock. I know,
hard left here. There's red jerseys and white jerseys.
Speaker 9 (43:06):
I don't know what you're talking.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
About, you know that's on them.
Speaker 9 (43:11):
No, boys, I don't know what. We took care of
him for three hours.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
You guys got him for the next tournament.
Speaker 9 (43:19):
That's not you handle.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
He scared. Are brought to you by Schneider Downs this morning.
Speaker 9 (43:25):
