Speaker 1 (00:00):
From this it's called Spy Family, but it's anime. It's
not Spy Kids, Spy Family. The funny thing is that
she's a very cute, little pink haired anime character.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And then she showed me what the rest of the
family looks like.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
The mom in this family looks like a character from
the Matrix, but she's wearing like a choker and then
like a Dominatrix outfit.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
And I was like, yeah, Mommy.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I looked at it and I was like, Eedie, I
can't wear that. And she said why not? And I said, well,
the daddies on.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
The street are not gonna like that. Well, actually, the
daddy's on the street aren't gonna like that, and that's
why we can't do that.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
And I said, if we get yeah, if we get separated,
that's gonna be a really big problem for the mommies
on the street too.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
That's not gonna be okay.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show, I.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Don't know, you're of lead into it. Go hot mom
the whole way. Go sec be that sexy mom. Take
all the glory away from your kids.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
On Halloween. Mom and Atrix, make it about you. Make
you're supposed to. That's right, Halloween's on a Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's about us.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Yeah, it's different this year. Kids. Do you think mommy
and get her clothes off?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Now?
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Have you guys got any like Halloween party invitations for
that weekend?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Because I'm wondering if people are gonna have Saturday.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I know, Bill, you said the Halloween parties are kind
of few and far between in your world.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Yeah, yeah they are.
Speaker 7 (01:33):
I mean the girls are starting to get invited to
them now, which is another level of terrifying. It's one
thing to just not be invited yourself, but then your
kids start going to them, and then you're like, well,
this is a new circle of hell.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
I didn't know if it would be like parents and kids.
When it's on a Friday, someone might be you know
that sounds like a big suburban Hey we're gonna have
a fall festival in the backyard.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
There's Cauldon Sacks all over the neighborhood that are doing that.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:59):
Yeah, called to back and usually every year, like I
don't remember the last time we had one on you know,
like it was really a big party.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:09):
And so, but normally on the school nights even I
bring out a fire table, and you know, like try
to like make it a thing.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
You make it a thing.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I want to make it a thing.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I make a thing that's a meal.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
That's what will end up happening is that because it's
a Friday, people will just have cocktails out now and
they'll be a little more like lingering and socializing at
every candy stop.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And uh, I always have a beer on Halloween. Right now,
I'm going to be dressed as Dominatrix with a beer.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
So I guess I was going to say parents are
drinking every Halloween, but I think they're actually going to
get hammered this one.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, Friday Night. It's a good one.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
Because I love the I love the adults who sit
out at the top of their driveway with a cooler
or they have a cider, some kind of beverage to
offer the adults.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
I don't always indulge.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
But it's nice to know that I if I want
to pop, I can get a pop.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
This year, I'm dressing as Aaron Rodgers and I'm handing
out ayahuasca to all the parents when they come back. Yeah,
I think it's going to be fun. And then there's
a Darkness Retreat in the backyard. If the kids want
to go in there and find some candy and.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
They can puke in the cauldron whenever.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Well, there's just smelling salts. There's no candy. That's all
they get too.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
That's our too.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And then they passway to DK and then that's also
that's great.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Well it's the Steelers themed Halloween, and why not because
they're scaring the hell out of me right now.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
I mean that the kids are going to run wild
through your backyard.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think that is indeed what's going to happen Sunday night.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Let's hope the Packers don't run wild at Akerscher Stadium
the eight twenty kickoff, Rob King, Max Stark's Missy Matthews
will have that all for you.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Of course, bedtime two in a row. We're getting hosed.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It's not as bad as years past, but we do
have I think three of them in five weeks or
something like that. Not ideal, but we get a one
o'clock and I believe a four to twenty five against
the Bills, which is the day that's the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
I'm okay with that one being a four to twenty five.
(04:11):
People getting back into Town. Sure, that's fine.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Is that Is there any chance that that game gets
bumped to the night game?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
One hundred?
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Yeah, if the Steelers take care of some of their business.
But this, this road ahead looks treacherous.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
It does.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
And it's interesting you say that because I was looking
at it yesterday. Say a guy where to have made
a wager at the beginning of the year where the
Steelers say have to win over eight and a half games.
It's just a hypothetical, and say that guy said, I
really like that bet. I'm gonna go over. So they
got to win nine games for that guy to win
his bet. Now, let's just say hypothetically that the betting
(04:48):
platform offered that guy an out right now where he
won a little bit of money, not a lot, hardly
any ten percent on his bet, but he could cash
out now walk away because he doesn't think the Steelers
are going to win five more games based on the
schedule ahead of them, five out of eleven, that's right.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
You think they're going to be sub five hundred for
this person, for this.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Person, this person person who say no, I mean no,
because I have confidence in this team.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Obviously the games.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
A woman named Sandy, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
So anyways, Sandy Foulman, Sandy is a worry ward about
the Steelers, and she looked at the schedule and she
was like, well that all of a sudden, that Indy
one doesn't look right. So you got Packers, not exactly
a layup Colts. Yikes, Chargers, you should be able to win. However,
(05:48):
that's a cross country game.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
That's dangerous, eight twenty at night.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That's the other night game. Then you get the Bengals again.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Joe Burrow will not be back, and you got to
think Joe Flack will be by then.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So let's say they win that one.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Okay, I hope he I hope Joe Flacco gets hurt
and somehow we have to just face Joe Burrow because
Joe Flacco is not defensible.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I agree with you that honestly one of the best
games he's ever had, not even just statistically, like, I
could not believe how pinpoint accurate he was that entire game.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Didn't miss so didn't miss on the inside throws, he
didn't miss they dropped the balls.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
So let's say they beat that Bengals the second time. Okay,
So that's the Chargers in the Bengals. That's two. Still
need three more. Then you got the Bears at home
in Chicago. Should win that one.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Should Flashes, though they're not as slappy as I thought
they would be at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
He's turned them around. Ben Johnson, I think he's gonna
be a good coach. Then you get the Bills, Ravens
with Lamar Back.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Dolphins. Don't know what to make of them.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Dolphins. Okay, okay, there's your fourth win. That's a driverless car.
At that point, there's your four There is no coach,
so then you and no quarterback. Yes, no pants either
for the coach that does not wear pants. So then
you and then you have the Lions, the Browns, and
the Ravens to finish things out.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Oh god, the Lions.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
But again, you know, like Mike likes to say, the
league reshuffles every week. I mean, the good teams tend
to rise to the top, and by the end of
the season.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
We saw what happened last year.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
All of the good teams looked real good against the Steelers,
and the Steelers, who we thought were a good team,
not so much.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Not so much is kind of what I'm wondering about.
The defense right now, not so much. Little worried that
Sligh is.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Done.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
So I'm a little worried that Jalen is not elite,
He's just good. And I'm worried that Joey Porter Junior
is actively getting worse. These are the worries I had
over the weekend, as I sat since Thursday night mulling
over the fate of this team, whose identity I under
Mike Tomlin, I can never really put my finger on
at any point in the season until about the last month,
(08:08):
and they are liking.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
What I'm seeing on offense for the most part.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
How could you not?
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I mean, not a great defense that they played against,
but no, they threw points, threw up a lot of points,
and they did what they had to do. There so
no reason to be down on the defense, even with
al Calvin Austin in there right which they'll be getting
him back for Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
But defensively, man, I mean, offense looks pretty good.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Defense.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
I don't know what it is worried about the run
defense because it looked like a big problem the first
two games, the second like little chunk of the season.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
The third three games we look like we got it
figured out.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
But did we I mean, we were opportunistic against the
Patriots and they had to go away from the run
because that guy couldn't stop putting it on the carpet.
Then you go over to Dublin and Wentz's throwing the ball.
He's got two top tier receivers, so they're not necessarily
a power run team. And then the Browns just brownsed it.
They didn't run with Judkins. They dropped back a rookie
(09:10):
quarterback fifty eight times. So I don't know that the
problem that we thought was solved when Derek Harmon came
in is really solved.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
They tried to run with Judkins and then they quit,
which is not trying to run because you have to
keep pounded in these games. That's exactly what the Steelers
had to do in that game. And you know Warren didn't,
you know, tear off any big runs there or gain
well until the second half. Really is where they wore
down the Bengals defense. Stefanski and company bailed on that one.
(09:40):
But you know, once you get behind, you get behind it.
Sometimes you know you got to you're a hurry up mode.
But I don't know what to think about the Steelers.
I have no idea. It's five days after the game
on Thursday, and I'm still I don't know. I don't
know what to make of them. They are always an
enigma to me. Mike Tomlins. Teams never have an identity
where I go, well, we do this well.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Their ability towards that didn't you like with the run
game and the you know, the seventy four is an
eligible receiver. The tight end game, like, I mean, obviously
that was the the big coming out party for the
tight ends on this team. Every tight end on the
team had a touchdown.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Yeah, I mean, I think that you have to continue
in Arthur Smith's done a pretty good job of this
building out of that. You can't just keep throwing out
that you know, seventy four every single time and be like, oh,
they're not going to know how to defend this, and
you know eventually they're going to You're going to have
to have more. You know, Swiss army knives come out
in that formation, and they showed that at the beginning
(10:40):
of the game against the Browns with the shot to
Mount Washington. But I guess when you look around at
Justin Fields and what Russell Wilson have been unable to
do on other teams. See, maybe you do give a
little credit to Arthur Smith and what he could do
with Ryan Tannehill that nobody else could do in Tennessee,
and what he could salvage out of Russ and bring
(11:01):
out of Justin. I wouldn't be super quick to say
Justin Fields is finished in the NFL. I think he's
damn near close. I don't think he has as much
potential as I thought Baker had when Baker even went
to Carolina and was getting nothing done. Justin Fields is
really on his last chance. And I don't it's not
gonna happen in New York, and he's got to find
(11:22):
a quarterback whisper. I don't know who that's gonna be.
But Mike Tomlin. What scares me about Mike Tomlin is
he's always the guy that thinks. Mike Tomlin is a
guy who when the soap dispenser stops there's nothing in there,
he's like, obviously, there's plenty of soap in there, and
then he puts water inside it, and then he shakes
(11:43):
up the water right, and he's like, see, he's probably
good soap. And it's like wellt'sle's deluded a little bit,
but yeah, I guess that'll do. And then that runs
out and he's like, I just plenty of soap, and
he's like, there's not that much soap in there. I
can see it's not really not coach a whole lot
of soap. And then he puts more water in the
soap dispenser and now you just got water.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
He's like, but it's coming out of soap bottle. It's like,
but that's not soap.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
And then he brings the old soap out from underneath
the sink and you're like, no, that soap is old.
It hasn't been soap for a while.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
That's what I mean. That's the analogy I'm making, is
that he.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Squeezes every little bit out of all of these older
guys who once were a full bottle of soap. Yeah,
and now they're just husks of what used to have
hand soap.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Does it still kill the germs.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Soap not on third down?
Speaker 6 (12:36):
No, can't kill the germs on third down.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
So that's the problem in my book.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
And there's too much splash back.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
I mean, I would say that this would just be
like a trend for veteran coaches. We saw it with
with Mike Sullivan, like you just develop this this dependency
or this trust for the veteran players, guys that have
been there and done that, because you know that you're
getting towards the latter stages of your career and you
don't want to throw an unknown out there and potentially
(13:08):
lose it all. But then I look at somebody like
Sean Payton and what he's doing out in Denver with
bow Nicks, and I'm like, everybody thought he was a moron.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
He ditched Russ.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
They paid all that dead cap money to Russ or
that you know, they they paid Russ to not play
football for them, chose their guy.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
It looked idiotic.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
For three four games in that season they caught fire,
and then this year they're they're battling.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
They look like one of the sleeper teams in the AFC.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
That Sunday game was the fourth quarter against the Giants,
was something to be hold.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Well.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Michael and I had a nice rollercoaster ride on Sunday
playing the playing the games, and that was one of them.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That was an absolute barn burner.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
And oh, if you were live betting that one if
you bet that in the second half, like, there's no
way that the Giants could lose this one.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Right, right, But I agree with you on Peyton. Everybody
was going after him. He did get lucky in getting
his guy. If you don't, you don't get bone into.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
The guy, right kind of travel in New England, I mean,
he couldn't find his guy in Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Fired. That team looks like it's a mess. They choose their.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Quarterback, the quarterback is struggling. They just fire their coach
in the middle of the rookie season of a potential
franchise quarterback. So I'm not saying it's easy, because it isn't.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
No, but honestly, that might be the blueprint. Like when
you invest in cam Ward as the number one overall
and you're not getting any like progress from him and
the guy that's guiding him had three wins the season before,
it's time to just cut bait right there and find
(14:50):
somebody who knows what they're doing, because you you don't
have time anymore. Although I'm starting to wonder if you're
not better served in the NFL these days then by
finding the people that everybody's giving up on finding a
Baker Mayfield or the Sam Darnolds because at Seattle, yeah,
they look like genius. These are the guys who end
up taking team. It's so much of it is experience
(15:14):
and relationships get damaged with teams over time, so they
draft somebody like do you think it's inconceivable that cam
Ward comes out at number one overall?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Last year?
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Play six years or five years with the Titans, and
at the end of it they go, you know what,
it's just I think everybody needs a change of pace here.
It's just not working. And then he goes to another
team and then he's really good.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
I don't think he's gonna get that long.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
I mean, they just they just drafted the kid who
puts mayonnaise in his coffee, like a couple of years ago,
year before, you know, the year before. So I mean,
and we saw the je difference gym several times. Well,
that's the turnover in these organizations. The pressure to win
right away is obviously crushing these quarterbacks. Like, unless you're
(16:00):
a Jaden Daniels or a bon Knicks or somebody who
is an elite passer like Justin Herbert or something, you're
not gonna get put into a situation on a crappy
team with a lot of turnover at the top and succeed.
And so these guys are getting trashed and I don't
know if they're trash or if it's their circumstance. It's
(16:21):
more pressure than anybody's ever been under Justin Fields.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
That takes us back to Justin Fields.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Yeah, because I can't believe he's as bad as he
looks in New York, because he wasn't that bad here.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I thought he was definitely.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
The last game he played, I think was the Raiders
win in Las Vegas. He did not look great in it,
missed a bunch of throws, but I think that they
were starting to figure out a way to make him
more comfortable. And you know, a proficient NFL quarterback. Now
he looks at anything, but he's lost. And I think
(16:57):
that coach has lost too, And that's a big part
of it. But he thought he was going to be
a great hire, you know, not just because of his
bona fides with Detroit, but because he had the history
of New York and he was a jet and this
makes sense. And then he first of all, you got
off on the wrong foot with the press and in
New York. That is just throwing gasoline on a fire.
(17:17):
You're walking into a fire in New York if you
are poking the bear in progress upon arrival. If you're
poking the bear, it's just not gonna be easy for you.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
And it never was. And he's a mess that he
might not lasting here.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
I mean, I think about Miami too, Like even if
you think you haven't figured out, maybe you don't remember
when Mike or Mike Daniels or what's his name name,
McDaniel when he first got the job, that offense was elite.
That was the best offense in the league. They were
putting up sixty burgers on people, and now they look
(17:51):
like they.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Can't do anything to it through horrible interceptions in that game.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
And got told, well, I think Tua is done, and
I think it's I think it's largely due to the concussions.
I honestly think his brain is not in NFL shape
and I think he can't process, and I think he's
making bad decisions and that's all there is too. I
think it's that simple, because he has gotten demonstrably worse,
Like he started off with a whole lot of potential
(18:19):
and you could see that there was some you know,
rust around the edge of this type stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
But you thought McDaniel was going to be able to.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Unlock his potential, especially.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
The way they got got along because Brian Flores was
so hard on him and then McDaniel goes down there and.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I wanted him to do well, man, I really did.
He would have been such a fun person to roof
for it.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
We talked about that yesterday, like he had so much
potential because you were like, wow, new guard, like there.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Was outside the box, thinking.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Exactly and now you realize, no, he just wakes and
bakes and he's an idiot.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
He turns out he's just a stoner. Is really good
at devising the place exactly. What guys, what if we
did this? Would this be cool?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
It's like, yeah, it actually would. But he's not a
leader of men.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
You gotta go into a locker room and talk to people,
and he's like stoned looking down on the ground. Which
is a drag because to the earlier point, it would
have been fun to see people be mad at him
being a good coach.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Can't be a coach with your ankles exposed, I just can't.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Mike's got a full sports support for you when we
come back.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
It's the show where you picked the tunes.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
St Lloyd.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
We all want to hear. Let us know what you
want to hear on our socials phone or the talkback
button on the iHeartRadio AM three days at noon. I'm
going to need the whole thing. It's the all Request
DVE Electric Lunch.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
It's Randy from the DVE Morning Show. You know, it's
more important than ever before.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Mike, Mike pursuita that such you do you count the
stupid stuff?
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Like?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
It was just a funny.
Speaker 10 (19:48):
Bill and I were talking about quarterbacks as we do
during the break.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, sports is ub brother.
Speaker 10 (19:52):
We talk about Bridgeville appliance and he said he sees
Jordan Love doing this stuff, And I said, do you
count the stupid stuff? And just of because Jordan Love
does both. Yeah, well yeah, yeah, and he.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Did both a couple of years ago here at this
stadium that kind of got us out of the game
with the.
Speaker 10 (20:09):
W Yeah, and Joe Flacco didn't and look what happens.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
So got to make the quarterback do some stupid stuff. Yeah,
how do you do that? I mean with the old guy,
you'd think you'd pressure him right, send the house.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Yeah, Well, when it's coming out pick excuse me, when
it's coming out quick, it's harder to do that. But
you got to make them pay somehow. You got to
maybe be in position near enough to a receiver after
he cat to maybe knock the ball out or generate
turnovers how you can.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
But you know, the.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Lake does reshuffle every week.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
And from the Steelers perspective, I went down to the
locker room session yesterday. They are hoping that the Thursday
night defensive performance is an outlier. They just picked a
bad night to have a bad night. They allowed the
worst rushing team in the league to run, and that
set the table for the pass yep. If they're not
gonna be any better than that against the run, then
(21:08):
it's gonna be a long year.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Just nothing else is going to matter.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
Yes, Bill, to your point about Cleveland, they made Cleveland
stop running, and that one way you can do that
is put them behind. Steel's had a chance to knock
the Bengals out early. Maybe their best run defense will
be scoring enough points that the other team doesn't want
to run anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Just a little food for thought.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
I still think if you're the Browns, you have to
know your identity. You're not throwing the ball fifty times
in beating teams. The only way you're winning is running
the ball.
Speaker 10 (21:41):
Somebody tells Sefanski because they've been trying to tell them
that in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
For the entire year, run the ball, Kevin, that teen's
getting fired.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
I mean fifty shirts.
Speaker 10 (21:50):
And you saw what Judkins did Sunday, Yay went off.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
The only time they've looked good this year has been
when they run the ball.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
He's getting fired. I think he's doing it on purpose.
He's like, oh no, did I do that? Oh I
get fired? Oh well, it was fun to you about
you on phones ringing hang on, yeah, exactly, Get hired immediately, Miami.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Yeah, I'll be right there.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
Steeler's, you know, a little emotionally scarred after that Thursday
night disaster in Cincinnati. But if they're looking for something
to rally around, well, hosting the Green Bay Packers Sunday
night at Akrosser Stadium qualifies as such, given Aaron Rodgers
eighteen year history.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
With the Packers.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
Just don't tell any of that to defensive captain Cam Heyward,
because he is looking for seeking interested in no such
external emotional motivation.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
No, no, different.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
You know, obviously you want to win for Aaron, but
we want to play better football, and you know, we
gotta get to stay.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Some of around.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
Yeah, he's interested in stopping the run and not looking
slappy like they did on defense all night. And who
cares who your quarterback used to play for.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
We want to win for Aaron.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
It's a long way from if you want to play
with the Pittsburgh Steelers, get your.
Speaker 10 (23:10):
Sear taking a different approach. Maybe that's because he's an
offensive guy, a little bit closer to Rogers. Under normal
circumstances is hey, we're just allowed.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
The Steelers don't want to beat anybody anywhere just to
get that taste out of their mouth. But Friarmuth knows
the circumstances will be anything but normal.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
On Sunday night, Aaron.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Mentioned in his post game next games against my old team.
I don't know what he's going to say ah the week,
But do you guys, since this is a huge game for.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
Him, absolutely, I mean he was he was there the
face of the franchise for twenty plus or eighteen years,
whatever how many it was, and it's gonna be at
to him. It's gonna be allowed to everyone in his
locker room. He's been so much awesome?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Is that entering with that? You know what, it's meaningful.
You don't want a little bus.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
A big it's a big game, and I think we're
all focused on that Sunday night. I mean, it's all
all the makings of a big game. Good time to
have one of those, Good time to.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Have one of those.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
I mean, it's not just his former team, it's the
quarterback that they moved on from him with.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
And he's playing well, resurrecting if he came here to
resurrect his image and go out with a bang instead
of a whimper, he's well on the way to doing that.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
One.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Well, you just wonder if he went to a better
organization off the bat and you know, didn't suffer the injury,
which you know, I don't know if that was an
injury that was just waiting to happen or whatever. But
if he had two years, how good would he have
been right out of the bat, Because it took him
a while after that injury, in years that could have
(24:41):
ended his career of being a non packer to come around.
It was halfway through the second season before he really
started to dial it in a little longer. Yeah, and
now he's I think, fully back. But he lost it.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
You know.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
It's a lot of father time is undefeated, you know.
And that was a tough year and a half that
he lost there of production. How much does he still
have left in the tank? I mean, I think if
you're a Packer fan, you could look at it now
and be like, boy, if he's as good now, and
we would have kept him. I mean, I think he
said would have been as good. It's the same thing
Bill and I were talking about the last half hour, Mike.
(25:16):
I think organizations just get to a point where do
they go.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
You get to a point, go to the point.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Enough's enough.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
Everyone needs a change, a change of GM's or coaches changed.
They want their guy. Yeah, it's a vicious cycle. Let's
just change it up because it's not working here anymore.
And it's not necessarily because of lack of ability. But
if the Steelers are going to get out of this
up and down malaise that they're in, he's going to
be the guy that leads them.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Out of it.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
I think I would have more confidence that the offense
starts consistently approaching thirty points if not scoring points, then
I end that the defense is going to be historic
at this point. Wow, And Calvin Austin is hopeful he'll
play Sunday.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
I mean, I see other little guys around the league
that have the speed that he has making splash plays
every single Sunday when I'm watching the highlights. So it's
not like, and I've seen him do it consistently is
going to be the issue for him without getting hurt.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Well, that's all the little guy's problem is. You see
those highlights, but how many do you see in week seventeen?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Not a time.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Well, it might be there returning in week seventeen from
an injury.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
Right now, that's week seventeen's problem. Yes, the current problem
is Green Bay and you got rought on in Cincinnati,
and you got thrown on to a historic degree and
it wasn't nearly good enough and you still almost won.
Lost in all this is that we still almost won somehow,
which is kind of how the NFL is too.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Most of these games are out of the fourth quarter
and coming down one stop defense, one stop just.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
One Okay, I'm sorry, I'm still pissed about that.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
And it's the best players, it's the guy, guy that
you got just for this occasion.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
The money guys, the guys were paying TJ Cam which
well Ramsey Jalen And that was the defense with Toasting injured.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
And that was the defense you saw against the Jets
and against New England. They were getting moved on all day,
but able to rise up at the very end when
you needed to get a stop and get a stop.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
And this time they were not able to rise up
and get a stop. Third and thirteen thirty and ten's
no problem for fly that last.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
You know, they hit that miracle play to Friarmouth and
the defense can't make it stick.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Abbula of your news.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Coming up at the top of the hour, some serious
frustration for drivers whose cars were mistakenly towed in the

The exclusive sales event is now to the end of
the month.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
It ac culminated yesterday on Monday with the induction of
the ten Stars honoring the Pittsburgh Legends who you can
now walk across in the Strip District terminal. The Hall
of or rather Walk of Honor, was commenced yesterday with
(29:48):
the induction ceremonies, and I thought this was a pretty
big coupe for them because this could have been something
that they came up with and everyone was like, yeah,
that's dumb, we don't care.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Yeah. I think the execution was key. You got to
be able to pull it off.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
You got to get people from like people's family members
and hopefully you know, one of the only surviving people
that's being you know, honored on the walk.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Getting him to show up. Michael Keaton was a big, big,
deal yesterday. They've been working on this for ten years,
bringing this to Pittsburgh. The founders of this of the
Walk of Fame Board based this on one that's in Saint Louis,
and they thought that'd be great in Pittsburgh because, oh yeah,
what town loves to talk about the famous people from
(30:38):
their town more than Pittsburgh. I mean, so, Keaton is
there yesterday and this is hilarious. They bring him on
like a band, but it was like a.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
High school band.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Well I actually think it was members of the symphony.
Like I could be wrong.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
I alwayst saw from a weird angle but on a video,
but they played the Batman theme when they walked him up.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I like it. It's awesome. Keaton was like, uh, that
was the first time I was ever played on him
with a tuba. You know, thank you very very much.
This is ridiculously nice.
Speaker 11 (31:33):
Uh it's another first actually, uh speaking first, I don't
think I've had words before, but I don't think I
was ever played on by a tuba.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Before there got a boy. I don't think that's ever
happened before. He definitely loves the people of Pittsburgh.
Speaker 11 (31:55):
I want to thank you, honestly, from the bottom of
my heart for even showing.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Up for this.
Speaker 11 (31:59):
This is just so nice of all these and it's
just true what everyone says about these people. It is
just in New York City and I was in a
car driving with a cab driver I think, or someone
was taking me somewhere, and he was referring. He said,
everyone I know from Pittsburgh loves being from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
And it's true, such a great place.
Speaker 11 (32:20):
And I love these I love places like this, but
I especially love this my hometown. I love these immigrant cities.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
We're all.
Speaker 11 (32:33):
The entire country is a country of immigrants, and my
own family looks like the un and I'm so proud
of it.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
And you know, his affinity for Pittsburgh has been well
documented through the years.
Speaker 11 (32:46):
There's nothing like being recognized by your hometown or because
it's the place that actually make you who you are.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
These places and to be honored here.
Speaker 11 (32:59):
And boy included among this inaugural group of honorees people
who have not just shaped Pittsburgh, but literally shaped the world.
This this is almost embarrassing, almost. He talked about when
he left Pittsburgh. You know, I left here, even though
(33:22):
you never really leave here. I left here with kind
of a rough a very rough idea, kind of a
rough draft of what I wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
And what I wanted to be.
Speaker 11 (33:40):
And the thing is, you know, he leaves with so
many memories and so many experiences and so many characters
that I knew over the years that I've created characters
based upon those people. But as I said, you know,
this city, this, these experiences, they shape you. At least
they shaped who I am, and you kind of carry
(34:02):
it with you.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I mean love that, I do.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Love how much he through the years has shared his
celebrity with the city of Pittsburgh, knowing what it means
to everybody here. Billy Gardelle's really good at doing that too.
Billy'll be on with us, Yeah. Joe Manganello also great
at that. He lets Pittsburgh share in his celebrity. He
loves the time, loves coming back, doing stuff for Children's Hospital,
(34:27):
and just being a part of any event that he can.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Going to the Steelers games, being a maniac fan. I mean,
he was at the fashion show. His dog was wrapped
in a terrible towel. But Michael Keaton this means something
to him.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
So this star. I hope when you mostly kids.
Speaker 11 (34:48):
When you walk through here and they look down at
this star of mind and the star of all these people,
I hope they look up and they just wonder what
as possible.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
This means the world to me.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
I like that kind OF's like, I hope they realize
they don't have to stay here. You get the hell
out of here and make it famous now a kid.
He gave a shout out to the Rocks too, Thanks
for coming everybody.
Speaker 11 (35:16):
You can see some friends, my family whom I love,
and I'm more proud of them than even getting this.
And my brother Robert came all the way from Florida.
My brother Paul came all the way from California.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
George came from the Rocks. It's down the river. It's
like it was an.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Effort took the clipper up. But that shows you how
much it meant to his family. His siblings came in
from all over the country.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
I mean, it's a really cool thing.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Man.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Hundreds of people were down there. They it looked like
they closed the street.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
People that have pat like it was Clemente Carnegie.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
George Benson got in.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
He he was unable to attend due to health issues,
but he provided a video Nellie Bly, August Wilson, Clemente Jonas, Salk,
Fred Rogers, Carnegie, like Bill said, is mostly posthumous inductions.
But I think that that sets the table because you
have to get those people in.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
You know who's that's Nellie Bly is the woman who
is the new statue that they've added to the airport.
She's the woman standing next to Franco and George Washington.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Why did I think she was an aviator? She's a journalist.
I think she did a ton of stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, I thought she was a journalist among other things.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
But oh yeah, she did both.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
She had a record breaking trip around the world apparently. Yeah,
seventy two days of Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
That's not bad.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
How long it usually takes you to get to Chicago
Airport to Monroeville connected, Charlotte said, Nelly, I thought of
Nelly Briles, right, Yeah, pirates.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Throw pitches into seventy one World Series.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
No, this is Nelly blind pretty good first year for
this and.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
Oh god, and to have seedback hosting it was the
perfect choice.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
He's the guy and he's got to get his own
star eventually. But that's oh yeah, so now without just
concentrating on Sports Stars. They had Clemente in there. You
gotta think frank O Harris gets one next year. Oh yeah, right,
for sure, Franco's Are they doing this every year? Yeah,
that's the point I believe.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Okay, yeah, I think every year they want to add
ten ten.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
Franco definitely, Charles Groden maybe, I don't know, he's Pittsburgh
of something. Drum Yeah, neither. Dennis Miller wasn't either. Yeah,
I know, it's kind of a drag. I'll go and
say go as far to say Billy Gardell's yes, yes, indeed,
(38:08):
and he'll be live on the radio with us in
the nine o'clock hour.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Abbey's got your News next.
Speaker 8 (38:12):
Okay, Now, something else happened in the Stream District yesterday,
and that was a lot of people were mistakenly toady Bill.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
We should do an adjacent walk of shame on the
other side of the terminal. It's like the guy that
pretended to be Brian Saint Pierre, you know what I mean,
Like just all kinds of.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
We'll do a walker shame.
Speaker 12 (38:38):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on d V,
brought to you by Calli and Pizza and Draft Holes.
Three Time World Pizza Champions and Steelers Pro Shop. Get
it direct from the team at shop dot Steelers dot com.
Here's Tom Opperman.
Speaker 13 (38:51):
The Steelers will trying to bounce back from their loss
to Cincinnati last Thursday night by welcoming the Green Bay
Packers to town for Sunday Night football. One thing to
monitor for Steelers fans is the week forgres. This is
the status of wide receiver Calvin Austin, Third, who's been
sidelined for the past couple of games with a shoulder
injury suffered during the team's Week four triumph against the
Vikings in Dublin. Austin's absence has been felt in the
Steelers offense. Over the two games without Austin, Steelers wide
(39:14):
receivers not named DK Metcalf received just four total targets
from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Austin has had seventeen targets over
the four games that he's played in this year, catching
ten of those for one hundred and thirty nine yards
in two touchdowns. After seeing the tight ends emerge in
the passing game last week, thanks in large part TOI
one hundred and eleven receiving yards and two touchdowns by
Pat Fryarmouth. Adding Austin back into the mix should only
(39:35):
enhance the Steelers passing attack against the Packers defense that
comes in allowing just twenty point eight points per game,
tenth fewiss in the NFL. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin
has set to address the media this afternoon for his
weekly press conference and will hopefully shed more light on
Calvin Austin.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
The third status on pump up from in with the
Steelers report. The Black and.
Speaker 12 (39:55):
Gold faith will always travel well to see the team
on the road, and now Calliente and DV give you

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Hi Western Pennsylvania. This is Edgars
From this it's called Spy Family, but it's anime. It's
not Spy Kids, Spy Family. The funny thing is that
she's a very cute, little pink haired anime character.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And then she showed me what the rest of the
family looks like.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
The mom in this family looks like a character from
the Matrix, but she's wearing like a choker and then
like a Dominatrix outfit.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
And I was like, yeah, Mommy.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I looked at it and I was like, Eedie, I
can't wear that. And she said why not? And I said, well,
the daddies on.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
The street are not gonna like that. Well, actually, the
daddy's on the street aren't gonna like that, and that's
why we can't do that.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
And I said, if we get yeah, if we get separated,
that's gonna be a really big problem for the mommies
on the street too.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
That's not gonna be okay.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show, I.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Don't know, you're of lead into it. Go hot mom
the whole way. Go sec be that sexy mom. Take
all the glory away from your kids.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
On Halloween. Mom and Atrix, make it about you. Make
you're supposed to. That's right, Halloween's on a Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's about us.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Yeah, it's different this year. Kids. Do you think mommy
and get her clothes off?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Now?
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Have you guys got any like Halloween party invitations for
that weekend?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Because I'm wondering if people are gonna have Saturday.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I know, Bill, you said the Halloween parties are kind
of few and far between in your world.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Yeah, yeah they are.
Speaker 7 (01:33):
I mean the girls are starting to get invited to
them now, which is another level of terrifying. It's one
thing to just not be invited yourself, but then your
kids start going to them, and then you're like, well,
this is a new circle of hell.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
I didn't know if it would be like parents and kids.
When it's on a Friday, someone might be you know
that sounds like a big suburban Hey we're gonna have
a fall festival in the backyard.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
There's Cauldon Sacks all over the neighborhood that are doing that.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:59):
Yeah, called to back and usually every year, like I
don't remember the last time we had one on you know,
like it was really a big party.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:09):
And so, but normally on the school nights even I
bring out a fire table, and you know, like try
to like make it a thing.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
You make it a thing.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I want to make it a thing.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I make a thing that's a meal.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
That's what will end up happening is that because it's
a Friday, people will just have cocktails out now and
they'll be a little more like lingering and socializing at
every candy stop.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And uh, I always have a beer on Halloween. Right now,
I'm going to be dressed as Dominatrix with a beer.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
So I guess I was going to say parents are
drinking every Halloween, but I think they're actually going to
get hammered this one.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, Friday Night. It's a good one.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
Because I love the I love the adults who sit
out at the top of their driveway with a cooler
or they have a cider, some kind of beverage to
offer the adults.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
I don't always indulge.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
But it's nice to know that I if I want
to pop, I can get a pop.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
This year, I'm dressing as Aaron Rodgers and I'm handing
out ayahuasca to all the parents when they come back. Yeah,
I think it's going to be fun. And then there's
a Darkness Retreat in the backyard. If the kids want
to go in there and find some candy and.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
They can puke in the cauldron whenever.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Well, there's just smelling salts. There's no candy. That's all
they get too.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
That's our too.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And then they passway to DK and then that's also
that's great.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Well it's the Steelers themed Halloween, and why not because
they're scaring the hell out of me right now.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
I mean that the kids are going to run wild
through your backyard.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think that is indeed what's going to happen Sunday night.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Let's hope the Packers don't run wild at Akerscher Stadium
the eight twenty kickoff, Rob King, Max Stark's Missy Matthews
will have that all for you.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Of course, bedtime two in a row. We're getting hosed.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It's not as bad as years past, but we do
have I think three of them in five weeks or
something like that. Not ideal, but we get a one
o'clock and I believe a four to twenty five against
the Bills, which is the day that's the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
I'm okay with that one being a four to twenty five.
(04:11):
People getting back into Town. Sure, that's fine.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Is that Is there any chance that that game gets
bumped to the night game?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
One hundred?
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Yeah, if the Steelers take care of some of their business.
But this, this road ahead looks treacherous.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
It does.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
And it's interesting you say that because I was looking
at it yesterday. Say a guy where to have made
a wager at the beginning of the year where the
Steelers say have to win over eight and a half games.
It's just a hypothetical, and say that guy said, I
really like that bet. I'm gonna go over. So they
got to win nine games for that guy to win
his bet. Now, let's just say hypothetically that the betting
(04:48):
platform offered that guy an out right now where he
won a little bit of money, not a lot, hardly
any ten percent on his bet, but he could cash
out now walk away because he doesn't think the Steelers
are going to win five more games based on the
schedule ahead of them, five out of eleven, that's right.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
You think they're going to be sub five hundred for
this person, for this.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Person, this person person who say no, I mean no,
because I have confidence in this team.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Obviously the games.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
A woman named Sandy, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
So anyways, Sandy Foulman, Sandy is a worry ward about
the Steelers, and she looked at the schedule and she
was like, well that all of a sudden, that Indy
one doesn't look right. So you got Packers, not exactly
a layup Colts. Yikes, Chargers, you should be able to win. However,
(05:48):
that's a cross country game.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
That's dangerous, eight twenty at night.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That's the other night game. Then you get the Bengals again.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Joe Burrow will not be back, and you got to
think Joe Flack will be by then.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So let's say they win that one.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Okay, I hope he I hope Joe Flacco gets hurt
and somehow we have to just face Joe Burrow because
Joe Flacco is not defensible.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I agree with you that honestly one of the best
games he's ever had, not even just statistically, like, I
could not believe how pinpoint accurate he was that entire game.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Didn't miss so didn't miss on the inside throws, he
didn't miss they dropped the balls.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
So let's say they beat that Bengals the second time. Okay,
So that's the Chargers in the Bengals. That's two. Still
need three more. Then you got the Bears at home
in Chicago. Should win that one.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Should Flashes, though they're not as slappy as I thought
they would be at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
He's turned them around. Ben Johnson, I think he's gonna
be a good coach. Then you get the Bills, Ravens
with Lamar Back.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Dolphins. Don't know what to make of them.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Dolphins. Okay, okay, there's your fourth win. That's a driverless car.
At that point, there's your four There is no coach,
so then you and no quarterback. Yes, no pants either
for the coach that does not wear pants. So then
you and then you have the Lions, the Browns, and
the Ravens to finish things out.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Oh god, the Lions.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
But again, you know, like Mike likes to say, the
league reshuffles every week. I mean, the good teams tend
to rise to the top, and by the end of
the season.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
We saw what happened last year.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
All of the good teams looked real good against the Steelers,
and the Steelers, who we thought were a good team,
not so much.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Not so much is kind of what I'm wondering about.
The defense right now, not so much. Little worried that
Sligh is.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Done.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
So I'm a little worried that Jalen is not elite,
He's just good. And I'm worried that Joey Porter Junior
is actively getting worse. These are the worries I had
over the weekend, as I sat since Thursday night mulling
over the fate of this team, whose identity I under
Mike Tomlin, I can never really put my finger on
at any point in the season until about the last month,
(08:08):
and they are liking.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
What I'm seeing on offense for the most part.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
How could you not?
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I mean, not a great defense that they played against,
but no, they threw points, threw up a lot of points,
and they did what they had to do. There so
no reason to be down on the defense, even with
al Calvin Austin in there right which they'll be getting
him back for Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
But defensively, man, I mean, offense looks pretty good.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Defense.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
I don't know what it is worried about the run
defense because it looked like a big problem the first
two games, the second like little chunk of the season.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
The third three games we look like we got it
figured out.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
But did we I mean, we were opportunistic against the
Patriots and they had to go away from the run
because that guy couldn't stop putting it on the carpet.
Then you go over to Dublin and Wentz's throwing the ball.
He's got two top tier receivers, so they're not necessarily
a power run team. And then the Browns just brownsed it.
They didn't run with Judkins. They dropped back a rookie
(09:10):
quarterback fifty eight times. So I don't know that the
problem that we thought was solved when Derek Harmon came
in is really solved.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
They tried to run with Judkins and then they quit,
which is not trying to run because you have to
keep pounded in these games. That's exactly what the Steelers
had to do in that game. And you know Warren didn't,
you know, tear off any big runs there or gain
well until the second half. Really is where they wore
down the Bengals defense. Stefanski and company bailed on that one.
(09:40):
But you know, once you get behind, you get behind it.
Sometimes you know you got to you're a hurry up mode.
But I don't know what to think about the Steelers.
I have no idea. It's five days after the game
on Thursday, and I'm still I don't know. I don't
know what to make of them. They are always an
enigma to me. Mike Tomlins. Teams never have an identity
where I go, well, we do this well.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Their ability towards that didn't you like with the run
game and the you know, the seventy four is an
eligible receiver. The tight end game, like, I mean, obviously
that was the the big coming out party for the
tight ends on this team. Every tight end on the
team had a touchdown.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Yeah, I mean, I think that you have to continue
in Arthur Smith's done a pretty good job of this
building out of that. You can't just keep throwing out
that you know, seventy four every single time and be like, oh,
they're not going to know how to defend this, and
you know eventually they're going to You're going to have
to have more. You know, Swiss army knives come out
in that formation, and they showed that at the beginning
(10:40):
of the game against the Browns with the shot to
Mount Washington. But I guess when you look around at
Justin Fields and what Russell Wilson have been unable to
do on other teams. See, maybe you do give a
little credit to Arthur Smith and what he could do
with Ryan Tannehill that nobody else could do in Tennessee,
and what he could salvage out of Russ and bring
(11:01):
out of Justin. I wouldn't be super quick to say
Justin Fields is finished in the NFL. I think he's
damn near close. I don't think he has as much
potential as I thought Baker had when Baker even went
to Carolina and was getting nothing done. Justin Fields is
really on his last chance. And I don't it's not
gonna happen in New York, and he's got to find
(11:22):
a quarterback whisper. I don't know who that's gonna be.
But Mike Tomlin. What scares me about Mike Tomlin is
he's always the guy that thinks. Mike Tomlin is a
guy who when the soap dispenser stops there's nothing in there,
he's like, obviously, there's plenty of soap in there, and
then he puts water inside it, and then he shakes
(11:43):
up the water right, and he's like, see, he's probably
good soap. And it's like wellt'sle's deluded a little bit,
but yeah, I guess that'll do. And then that runs
out and he's like, I just plenty of soap, and
he's like, there's not that much soap in there. I
can see it's not really not coach a whole lot
of soap. And then he puts more water in the
soap dispenser and now you just got water.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
He's like, but it's coming out of soap bottle. It's like,
but that's not soap.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
And then he brings the old soap out from underneath
the sink and you're like, no, that soap is old.
It hasn't been soap for a while.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
That's what I mean. That's the analogy I'm making, is
that he.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Squeezes every little bit out of all of these older
guys who once were a full bottle of soap. Yeah,
and now they're just husks of what used to have
hand soap.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Does it still kill the germs.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Soap not on third down?
Speaker 6 (12:36):
No, can't kill the germs on third down.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
So that's the problem in my book.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
And there's too much splash back.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
I mean, I would say that this would just be
like a trend for veteran coaches. We saw it with
with Mike Sullivan, like you just develop this this dependency
or this trust for the veteran players, guys that have
been there and done that, because you know that you're
getting towards the latter stages of your career and you
don't want to throw an unknown out there and potentially
(13:08):
lose it all. But then I look at somebody like
Sean Payton and what he's doing out in Denver with
bow Nicks, and I'm like, everybody thought he was a moron.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
He ditched Russ.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
They paid all that dead cap money to Russ or
that you know, they they paid Russ to not play
football for them, chose their guy.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
It looked idiotic.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
For three four games in that season they caught fire,
and then this year they're they're battling.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
They look like one of the sleeper teams in the AFC.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
That Sunday game was the fourth quarter against the Giants,
was something to be hold.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Well.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Michael and I had a nice rollercoaster ride on Sunday
playing the playing the games, and that was one of them.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That was an absolute barn burner.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
And oh, if you were live betting that one if
you bet that in the second half, like, there's no
way that the Giants could lose this one.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Right, right, But I agree with you on Peyton. Everybody
was going after him. He did get lucky in getting
his guy. If you don't, you don't get bone into.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
The guy, right kind of travel in New England, I mean,
he couldn't find his guy in Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Fired. That team looks like it's a mess. They choose their.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Quarterback, the quarterback is struggling. They just fire their coach
in the middle of the rookie season of a potential
franchise quarterback. So I'm not saying it's easy, because it isn't.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
No, but honestly, that might be the blueprint. Like when
you invest in cam Ward as the number one overall
and you're not getting any like progress from him and
the guy that's guiding him had three wins the season before,
it's time to just cut bait right there and find
(14:50):
somebody who knows what they're doing, because you you don't
have time anymore. Although I'm starting to wonder if you're
not better served in the NFL these days then by
finding the people that everybody's giving up on finding a
Baker Mayfield or the Sam Darnolds because at Seattle, yeah,
they look like genius. These are the guys who end
up taking team. It's so much of it is experience
(15:14):
and relationships get damaged with teams over time, so they
draft somebody like do you think it's inconceivable that cam
Ward comes out at number one overall?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Last year?
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Play six years or five years with the Titans, and
at the end of it they go, you know what,
it's just I think everybody needs a change of pace here.
It's just not working. And then he goes to another
team and then he's really good.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
I don't think he's gonna get that long.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
I mean, they just they just drafted the kid who
puts mayonnaise in his coffee, like a couple of years ago,
year before, you know, the year before. So I mean,
and we saw the je difference gym several times. Well,
that's the turnover in these organizations. The pressure to win
right away is obviously crushing these quarterbacks. Like, unless you're
(16:00):
a Jaden Daniels or a bon Knicks or somebody who
is an elite passer like Justin Herbert or something, you're
not gonna get put into a situation on a crappy
team with a lot of turnover at the top and succeed.
And so these guys are getting trashed and I don't
know if they're trash or if it's their circumstance. It's
(16:21):
more pressure than anybody's ever been under Justin Fields.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
That takes us back to Justin Fields.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Yeah, because I can't believe he's as bad as he
looks in New York, because he wasn't that bad here.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I thought he was definitely.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
The last game he played, I think was the Raiders
win in Las Vegas. He did not look great in it,
missed a bunch of throws, but I think that they
were starting to figure out a way to make him
more comfortable. And you know, a proficient NFL quarterback. Now
he looks at anything, but he's lost. And I think
(16:57):
that coach has lost too, And that's a big part
of it. But he thought he was going to be
a great hire, you know, not just because of his
bona fides with Detroit, but because he had the history
of New York and he was a jet and this
makes sense. And then he first of all, you got
off on the wrong foot with the press and in
New York. That is just throwing gasoline on a fire.
(17:17):
You're walking into a fire in New York if you
are poking the bear in progress upon arrival. If you're
poking the bear, it's just not gonna be easy for you.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
And it never was. And he's a mess that he
might not lasting here.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
I mean, I think about Miami too, Like even if
you think you haven't figured out, maybe you don't remember
when Mike or Mike Daniels or what's his name name,
McDaniel when he first got the job, that offense was elite.
That was the best offense in the league. They were
putting up sixty burgers on people, and now they look
(17:51):
like they.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Can't do anything to it through horrible interceptions in that game.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
And got told, well, I think Tua is done, and
I think it's I think it's largely due to the concussions.
I honestly think his brain is not in NFL shape
and I think he can't process, and I think he's
making bad decisions and that's all there is too. I
think it's that simple, because he has gotten demonstrably worse,
Like he started off with a whole lot of potential
(18:19):
and you could see that there was some you know,
rust around the edge of this type stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
But you thought McDaniel was going to be able to.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Unlock his potential, especially.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
The way they got got along because Brian Flores was
so hard on him and then McDaniel goes down there and.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I wanted him to do well, man, I really did.
He would have been such a fun person to roof
for it.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
We talked about that yesterday, like he had so much
potential because you were like, wow, new guard, like there.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Was outside the box, thinking.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Exactly and now you realize, no, he just wakes and
bakes and he's an idiot.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
He turns out he's just a stoner. Is really good
at devising the place exactly. What guys, what if we
did this? Would this be cool?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
It's like, yeah, it actually would. But he's not a
leader of men.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
You gotta go into a locker room and talk to people,
and he's like stoned looking down on the ground. Which
is a drag because to the earlier point, it would
have been fun to see people be mad at him
being a good coach.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Can't be a coach with your ankles exposed, I just can't.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Mike's got a full sports support for you when we
come back.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
It's the show where you picked the tunes.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
St Lloyd.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
We all want to hear. Let us know what you
want to hear on our socials phone or the talkback
button on the iHeartRadio AM three days at noon. I'm
going to need the whole thing. It's the all Request
DVE Electric Lunch.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
It's Randy from the DVE Morning Show. You know, it's
more important than ever before.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Mike, Mike pursuita that such you do you count the
stupid stuff?
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Like?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
It was just a funny.
Speaker 10 (19:48):
Bill and I were talking about quarterbacks as we do
during the break.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, sports is ub brother.
Speaker 10 (19:52):
We talk about Bridgeville appliance and he said he sees
Jordan Love doing this stuff, And I said, do you
count the stupid stuff? And just of because Jordan Love
does both. Yeah, well yeah, yeah, and he.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Did both a couple of years ago here at this
stadium that kind of got us out of the game
with the.
Speaker 10 (20:09):
W Yeah, and Joe Flacco didn't and look what happens.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
So got to make the quarterback do some stupid stuff. Yeah,
how do you do that? I mean with the old guy,
you'd think you'd pressure him right, send the house.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Yeah, Well, when it's coming out pick excuse me, when
it's coming out quick, it's harder to do that. But
you got to make them pay somehow. You got to
maybe be in position near enough to a receiver after
he cat to maybe knock the ball out or generate
turnovers how you can.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
But you know, the.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Lake does reshuffle every week.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
And from the Steelers perspective, I went down to the
locker room session yesterday. They are hoping that the Thursday
night defensive performance is an outlier. They just picked a
bad night to have a bad night. They allowed the
worst rushing team in the league to run, and that
set the table for the pass yep. If they're not
gonna be any better than that against the run, then
(21:08):
it's gonna be a long year.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Just nothing else is going to matter.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
Yes, Bill, to your point about Cleveland, they made Cleveland
stop running, and that one way you can do that
is put them behind. Steel's had a chance to knock
the Bengals out early. Maybe their best run defense will
be scoring enough points that the other team doesn't want
to run anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Just a little food for thought.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
I still think if you're the Browns, you have to
know your identity. You're not throwing the ball fifty times
in beating teams. The only way you're winning is running
the ball.
Speaker 10 (21:41):
Somebody tells Sefanski because they've been trying to tell them
that in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
For the entire year, run the ball, Kevin, that teen's
getting fired.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
I mean fifty shirts.
Speaker 10 (21:50):
And you saw what Judkins did Sunday, Yay went off.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
The only time they've looked good this year has been
when they run the ball.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
He's getting fired. I think he's doing it on purpose.
He's like, oh no, did I do that? Oh I
get fired? Oh well, it was fun to you about
you on phones ringing hang on, yeah, exactly, Get hired immediately, Miami.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Yeah, I'll be right there.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
Steeler's, you know, a little emotionally scarred after that Thursday
night disaster in Cincinnati. But if they're looking for something
to rally around, well, hosting the Green Bay Packers Sunday
night at Akrosser Stadium qualifies as such, given Aaron Rodgers
eighteen year history.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
With the Packers.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
Just don't tell any of that to defensive captain Cam Heyward,
because he is looking for seeking interested in no such
external emotional motivation.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
No, no, different.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
You know, obviously you want to win for Aaron, but
we want to play better football, and you know, we
gotta get to stay.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Some of around.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
Yeah, he's interested in stopping the run and not looking
slappy like they did on defense all night. And who
cares who your quarterback used to play for.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
We want to win for Aaron.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
It's a long way from if you want to play
with the Pittsburgh Steelers, get your.
Speaker 10 (23:10):
Sear taking a different approach. Maybe that's because he's an
offensive guy, a little bit closer to Rogers. Under normal
circumstances is hey, we're just allowed.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
The Steelers don't want to beat anybody anywhere just to
get that taste out of their mouth. But Friarmuth knows
the circumstances will be anything but normal.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
On Sunday night, Aaron.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Mentioned in his post game next games against my old team.
I don't know what he's going to say ah the week,
But do you guys, since this is a huge game for.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
Him, absolutely, I mean he was he was there the
face of the franchise for twenty plus or eighteen years,
whatever how many it was, and it's gonna be at
to him. It's gonna be allowed to everyone in his
locker room. He's been so much awesome?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Is that entering with that? You know what, it's meaningful.
You don't want a little bus.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
A big it's a big game, and I think we're
all focused on that Sunday night. I mean, it's all
all the makings of a big game. Good time to
have one of those, Good time to.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Have one of those.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
I mean, it's not just his former team, it's the
quarterback that they moved on from him with.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
And he's playing well, resurrecting if he came here to
resurrect his image and go out with a bang instead
of a whimper, he's well on the way to doing that.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
One.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Well, you just wonder if he went to a better
organization off the bat and you know, didn't suffer the injury,
which you know, I don't know if that was an
injury that was just waiting to happen or whatever. But
if he had two years, how good would he have
been right out of the bat, Because it took him
a while after that injury, in years that could have
(24:41):
ended his career of being a non packer to come around.
It was halfway through the second season before he really
started to dial it in a little longer. Yeah, and
now he's I think, fully back. But he lost it.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
You know.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
It's a lot of father time is undefeated, you know.
And that was a tough year and a half that
he lost there of production. How much does he still
have left in the tank? I mean, I think if
you're a Packer fan, you could look at it now
and be like, boy, if he's as good now, and
we would have kept him. I mean, I think he
said would have been as good. It's the same thing
Bill and I were talking about the last half hour, Mike.
(25:16):
I think organizations just get to a point where do
they go.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
You get to a point, go to the point.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Enough's enough.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
Everyone needs a change, a change of GM's or coaches changed.
They want their guy. Yeah, it's a vicious cycle. Let's
just change it up because it's not working here anymore.
And it's not necessarily because of lack of ability. But
if the Steelers are going to get out of this
up and down malaise that they're in, he's going to
be the guy that leads them.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Out of it.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
I think I would have more confidence that the offense
starts consistently approaching thirty points if not scoring points, then
I end that the defense is going to be historic
at this point. Wow, And Calvin Austin is hopeful he'll
play Sunday.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
I mean, I see other little guys around the league
that have the speed that he has making splash plays
every single Sunday when I'm watching the highlights. So it's
not like, and I've seen him do it consistently is
going to be the issue for him without getting hurt.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Well, that's all the little guy's problem is. You see
those highlights, but how many do you see in week seventeen?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Not a time.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Well, it might be there returning in week seventeen from
an injury.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
Right now, that's week seventeen's problem. Yes, the current problem
is Green Bay and you got rought on in Cincinnati,
and you got thrown on to a historic degree and
it wasn't nearly good enough and you still almost won.
Lost in all this is that we still almost won somehow,
which is kind of how the NFL is too.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Most of these games are out of the fourth quarter
and coming down one stop defense, one stop just.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
One Okay, I'm sorry, I'm still pissed about that.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
And it's the best players, it's the guy, guy that
you got just for this occasion.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
The money guys, the guys were paying TJ Cam which
well Ramsey Jalen And that was the defense with Toasting injured.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
And that was the defense you saw against the Jets
and against New England. They were getting moved on all day,
but able to rise up at the very end when
you needed to get a stop and get a stop.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
And this time they were not able to rise up
and get a stop. Third and thirteen thirty and ten's
no problem for fly that last.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
You know, they hit that miracle play to Friarmouth and
the defense can't make it stick.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Abbula of your news.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Coming up at the top of the hour, some serious
frustration for drivers whose cars were mistakenly towed in the
Strip district yesterday.

clean it up. This thousands of Pittsburgh home owners have
figured this out and they trust MHI Roofing.

The exclusive sales event is now to the end of
the month.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
It ac culminated yesterday on Monday with the induction of
the ten Stars honoring the Pittsburgh Legends who you can
now walk across in the Strip District terminal. The Hall
of or rather Walk of Honor, was commenced yesterday with
(29:48):
the induction ceremonies, and I thought this was a pretty
big coupe for them because this could have been something
that they came up with and everyone was like, yeah,
that's dumb, we don't care.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Yeah. I think the execution was key. You got to
be able to pull it off.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
You got to get people from like people's family members
and hopefully you know, one of the only surviving people
that's being you know, honored on the walk.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Getting him to show up. Michael Keaton was a big, big,
deal yesterday. They've been working on this for ten years,
bringing this to Pittsburgh. The founders of this of the
Walk of Fame Board based this on one that's in Saint Louis,
and they thought that'd be great in Pittsburgh because, oh yeah,
what town loves to talk about the famous people from
(30:38):
their town more than Pittsburgh. I mean, so, Keaton is
there yesterday and this is hilarious. They bring him on
like a band, but it was like a.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
High school band.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Well I actually think it was members of the symphony.
Like I could be wrong.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
I alwayst saw from a weird angle but on a video,
but they played the Batman theme when they walked him up.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I like it. It's awesome. Keaton was like, uh, that
was the first time I was ever played on him
with a tuba. You know, thank you very very much.
This is ridiculously nice.
Speaker 11 (31:33):
Uh it's another first actually, uh speaking first, I don't
think I've had words before, but I don't think I
was ever played on by a tuba.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Before there got a boy. I don't think that's ever
happened before. He definitely loves the people of Pittsburgh.
Speaker 11 (31:55):
I want to thank you, honestly, from the bottom of
my heart for even showing.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Up for this.
Speaker 11 (31:59):
This is just so nice of all these and it's
just true what everyone says about these people. It is
just in New York City and I was in a
car driving with a cab driver I think, or someone
was taking me somewhere, and he was referring. He said,
everyone I know from Pittsburgh loves being from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
And it's true, such a great place.
Speaker 11 (32:20):
And I love these I love places like this, but
I especially love this my hometown. I love these immigrant cities.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
We're all.
Speaker 11 (32:33):
The entire country is a country of immigrants, and my
own family looks like the un and I'm so proud
of it.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
And you know, his affinity for Pittsburgh has been well
documented through the years.
Speaker 11 (32:46):
There's nothing like being recognized by your hometown or because
it's the place that actually make you who you are.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
These places and to be honored here.
Speaker 11 (32:59):
And boy included among this inaugural group of honorees people
who have not just shaped Pittsburgh, but literally shaped the world.
This this is almost embarrassing, almost. He talked about when
he left Pittsburgh. You know, I left here, even though
(33:22):
you never really leave here. I left here with kind
of a rough a very rough idea, kind of a
rough draft of what I wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
And what I wanted to be.
Speaker 11 (33:40):
And the thing is, you know, he leaves with so
many memories and so many experiences and so many characters
that I knew over the years that I've created characters
based upon those people. But as I said, you know,
this city, this, these experiences, they shape you. At least
they shaped who I am, and you kind of carry
(34:02):
it with you.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I mean love that, I do.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Love how much he through the years has shared his
celebrity with the city of Pittsburgh, knowing what it means
to everybody here. Billy Gardelle's really good at doing that too.
Billy'll be on with us, Yeah. Joe Manganello also great
at that. He lets Pittsburgh share in his celebrity. He
loves the time, loves coming back, doing stuff for Children's Hospital,
(34:27):
and just being a part of any event that he can.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Going to the Steelers games, being a maniac fan. I mean,
he was at the fashion show. His dog was wrapped
in a terrible towel. But Michael Keaton this means something
to him.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
So this star. I hope when you mostly kids.
Speaker 11 (34:48):
When you walk through here and they look down at
this star of mind and the star of all these people,
I hope they look up and they just wonder what
as possible.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
This means the world to me.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
I like that kind OF's like, I hope they realize
they don't have to stay here. You get the hell
out of here and make it famous now a kid.
He gave a shout out to the Rocks too, Thanks
for coming everybody.
Speaker 11 (35:16):
You can see some friends, my family whom I love,
and I'm more proud of them than even getting this.
And my brother Robert came all the way from Florida.
My brother Paul came all the way from California.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
George came from the Rocks. It's down the river. It's
like it was an.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Effort took the clipper up. But that shows you how
much it meant to his family. His siblings came in
from all over the country.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
I mean, it's a really cool thing.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Man.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Hundreds of people were down there. They it looked like
they closed the street.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
People that have pat like it was Clemente Carnegie.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
George Benson got in.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
He he was unable to attend due to health issues,
but he provided a video Nellie Bly, August Wilson, Clemente Jonas, Salk,
Fred Rogers, Carnegie, like Bill said, is mostly posthumous inductions.
But I think that that sets the table because you
have to get those people in.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
You know who's that's Nellie Bly is the woman who
is the new statue that they've added to the airport.
She's the woman standing next to Franco and George Washington.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Why did I think she was an aviator? She's a journalist.
I think she did a ton of stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, I thought she was a journalist among other things.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
But oh yeah, she did both.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
She had a record breaking trip around the world apparently. Yeah,
seventy two days of Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
That's not bad.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
How long it usually takes you to get to Chicago
Airport to Monroeville connected, Charlotte said, Nelly, I thought of
Nelly Briles, right, Yeah, pirates.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Throw pitches into seventy one World Series.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
No, this is Nelly blind pretty good first year for
this and.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
Oh god, and to have seedback hosting it was the
perfect choice.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
He's the guy and he's got to get his own
star eventually. But that's oh yeah, so now without just
concentrating on Sports Stars. They had Clemente in there. You
gotta think frank O Harris gets one next year. Oh yeah, right,
for sure, Franco's Are they doing this every year? Yeah,
that's the point I believe.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Okay, yeah, I think every year they want to add
ten ten.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
Franco definitely, Charles Groden maybe, I don't know, he's Pittsburgh
of something. Drum Yeah, neither. Dennis Miller wasn't either. Yeah,
I know, it's kind of a drag. I'll go and
say go as far to say Billy Gardell's yes, yes, indeed,
(38:08):
and he'll be live on the radio with us in
the nine o'clock hour.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Abbey's got your News next.
Speaker 8 (38:12):
Okay, Now, something else happened in the Stream District yesterday,
and that was a lot of people were mistakenly toady Bill.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
We should do an adjacent walk of shame on the
other side of the terminal. It's like the guy that
pretended to be Brian Saint Pierre, you know what I mean,
Like just all kinds of.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
We'll do a walker shame.
Speaker 12 (38:38):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on d V,
brought to you by Calli and Pizza and Draft Holes.
Three Time World Pizza Champions and Steelers Pro Shop. Get
it direct from the team at shop dot Steelers dot com.
Here's Tom Opperman.
Speaker 13 (38:51):
The Steelers will trying to bounce back from their loss
to Cincinnati last Thursday night by welcoming the Green Bay
Packers to town for Sunday Night football. One thing to
monitor for Steelers fans is the week forgres. This is
the status of wide receiver Calvin Austin, Third, who's been
sidelined for the past couple of games with a shoulder
injury suffered during the team's Week four triumph against the
Vikings in Dublin. Austin's absence has been felt in the
Steelers offense. Over the two games without Austin, Steelers wide
(39:14):
receivers not named DK Metcalf received just four total targets
from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Austin has had seventeen targets over
the four games that he's played in this year, catching
ten of those for one hundred and thirty nine yards
in two touchdowns. After seeing the tight ends emerge in
the passing game last week, thanks in large part TOI
one hundred and eleven receiving yards and two touchdowns by
Pat Fryarmouth. Adding Austin back into the mix should only
(39:35):
enhance the Steelers passing attack against the Packers defense that
comes in allowing just twenty point eight points per game,
tenth fewiss in the NFL. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin
has set to address the media this afternoon for his
weekly press conference and will hopefully shed more light on
Calvin Austin.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
The third status on pump up from in with the
Steelers report. The Black and.
