Speaker 4 (04:40):
And isn't that where that comedy place? Is it by there?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Oh, the new comedy place, I'm not sure, the comedy bar.
And there's the one in crafton which I always get
it's not. It's not It's not Seraphinos did it. I
thought it was Italian? Yeah, I thought it was.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Okay, that's what it is. We're talking about PF. Chang's
back in the day being like the place. Remember when
Bravo first came.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Out, Oh man, you mean I get to dip this break?
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Like where am I in Tuscany.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Bravo did the exact same thing that Chipotle did. I
think they lured you in with a superior product and
then in credibled the core and you were like, you
know what for fast casual, this is really effing good.
This is awesome. This is my go to. And then
(05:38):
a couple of years in the food quality just went
through the basement. It just went way down. Remember how
good the pork used to be at uh Chipotle? And
then they're like, yeah, we don't have pork anymore. What
it's expensive? Yeah, well okay, letn't charge us. No, We're
just not going to do you pork. And then there
was that time where they're like, hey, we had some
bad chicken. No chicken, what, Yeah, we don't have chicken
(05:59):
for a while. Like everything went down at Chipotle. It's
still baseline, Okay, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Oh yeah, I have it multiple times a week.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
No, it's Bravo. Though Bravo used to be. I thought
pretty good quality for a chain, you know, and now
I don't. I think it's like the Red Lobster. It's like,
it's like not Olive Garden, but it's not far away man,
totally agree.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
But that's the core, the faux finish on the walls,
the patina, the audience beyond springs you went on.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Oh yeah, no, everybody's mom decided that after you went
to Bravo that they were like, our whole house is
going to be dusky, eat.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Dough for the kids, crayons, draw anywhere you want.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Fake grapes everywhere, say fake grapes. Where's my Italian? When
the last time you ate an Olive Garden?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You can tell me. I will not.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
I'll tell you it was.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I mean, definitely when we were in the old building
once or twice we went.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
There, the entire time we were in the old building
in Green Tree, when I got there in nineteen ninety nine,
I never ate at.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
That Olive Garden.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Never. Never what they do to you, never want I
was an Italian oven guy. I liked Italian.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
I love Italian because I wasn't a big fan of
the pasta straws that they tried to put on us.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Oh I didn't any I liked.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
This is garbage.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I liked that they gave you crayons and oh yeah
on the Yeah, we should draw a tip meter. Kids.
We'd be like good, it'd be woult be good. It'd
be like hi, and there would be bad at the bottom,
like who knows where the I mean the arrow could go.
Speaker 10 (07:47):
My god, it was you made the servers thing for
their supper. Well, it would just be like we'd be jagging.
I mean we were like seventeen, you know what I mean. Yeah,
But at any rate, it's like the Pizza Hut thing.
You went in there and it was like the Pizza
Hut buffet.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You had to win. It wasn't about just going to eat.
It was okay, I'm gonna pay ten bucks for this.
You're getting thirty dollars with a pizza and salad.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
You really had the eye up the slices because you
didn't want to get a crusty slice that's just been
under that lamp for too long.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Dude, I used to do that at Battles all the time,
and it pissed me off because they had the lunch
buffet and you go in and you'd be like, you know,
a pizza's coming out soon, but you can't wait, so
you're like, I'll just eat one of those that's been
sitting there for a while, and then you fill up
on the crusty piece of crunch man. All I hear
is a sound in a while life.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
But I mean, dish obviously the best, it's the best,
gold standard.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Just people shouldn't go there. It's two crowded, no people.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I mean that place, like the meal should come with
a bed at the end, because I've never left there
and done anything but.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Go to bed.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Well, Jonathan, who you know the all of Amelia family
that's a satellite restaurant R. Yeah, So it's the same
kind of.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Experience, the same exact experience.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
The veal chop at all A Familia is the Fred
Flintstone Brunosaurus perper thing like tip over the table when
they put it down.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
I ate that one night and had the meat sweats,
and I've never had the meat sweats before, but it
was the dead of winner and I could have rolled
down the driveway and melted all the snow.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Yep, I was on fire.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You start to wonder, you're like, am I having cardiac
distress rate?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
I'd never found like I had to walk it off.
I got up and walked around.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
The problem is they give you all of those courses
and they're like, the salad is awesome, and then you
get that they always have that the pasta and it's
like a vodka sauce that they give you a squiggly
pasta ye, and you want to eat all of that
and you're on myself there and you got to get
a meatball if you're there, because it's the meatball that's
the size of a mushball, like a softball, with motts
(09:52):
inside of it exactly, And so you're crushing that and
then you know the eight pound veal chop hasn't even
come yet.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
They should just smack you in the face with it
when they're bring it to the table. Just knocked me out.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
We took Sally there for a birthday once time. I
think you were there, Bill, I think you were there.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Oh, I was member.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
She was talking about what are they doing? They're selling
crack over there, just leaving them alone. Sally we're selling drugs. Sally.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
That was a good place for her because she's always
eating everybody else's food and you don't have to there.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
That is true.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
You can't even eat all your own food.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
What's that hand right in your salad? Fistful of lettuce?
Pausta by hand. When you're talking about Pittsburgh Walk of
Fame earlier, that was the name that fout for me.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Of course, Sure, she's definitely going in Clardo, Sally Wiggins,
Joe donarda definitely without a question.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I mean, didn't MacAfee have like a Joe Donardo like
chant going at the Jelly Roll concert.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
I don't know, but he definitely has Joe Donardo represented
in his studio and he references him a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It is how much Pittsburgh culture has permeated the NFL,
a large part because of Pat having the stage that
he does now, but also because there's just everybody talks
to has Pittsburgh ties.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Even when he was talking to Rogers before Rogers was
on the Steelers. The amount of Pittsburgh in that dude's
career was ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
By the way, thank god he's not doing that show
this year. That is helping tremendously. Like a lot of
the knocks that were coming against him were a result
of him doing that show and steering attention towards things
he said, and by not doing any of that, it
solves so many of the issues that people like me
were concerned about.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yeah, completely impacts my personal opinion on him.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, I mean I don't agree with most people in
the NFL. They're just not on the biggest show of
the world talking about it every week. Yeah, and then
it becomes the thing that you talk about that week.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yeah, this is like really fun to find out the
easiest way to make me like you shut up.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Shut your mouth when you're talking to men, Shut your mouth.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
So Flacco's coming in and Zach Taylor, or rather Flacco's
not playing for the Brown. Zach Taylor did a press
conference and talked about how, yeah, he drove down and
he learned all the plays driving here from Cleveland. Stefanski
does a press conference yesterday and he's like, I didn't
even know we were trading him.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
He said he was going out for milk and cigarettes
and then he never came home.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
It's so funny, Like, dude, it's a mess. The quarterback
situation in the AFC North.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
They are in such a disjointed way, like to trade
for Kenny Pickett and then to trade him away before
the season even started, to sign Flacco, to draft two quarterbacks,
it looked like Stefanski was like, let's get Gabriel and
ownership or Barry or whoever else was like, hey, let's
get shit door and now they got both of the
(13:02):
Like it's it's absurd what they're doing.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
Yeah, it looks like nobody talks to each other in
that building.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
This was the fancy yesterday talking about it.
Speaker 11 (13:11):
Excited if Shador is going to be your number two
active quarterback for this weekend.
Speaker 12 (13:17):
Yet, Well, first i'd tell you is that Joe trade
took us by surprise. That was not something that we
saw coming. You know, they called us, and you know
that's no.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
You can say no.
Speaker 12 (13:28):
It happened very fast, and happened not too long ago,
so still working through all roster type of things.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I just all right, So he's not saying Andrew Barry
didn't tell him about it, which is how I originally
interpreted that. He's to just.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Say like it's a surprise, like it's not when you're
in Disney world and someone says, hey, you want to
trade pins and you have to trade them?
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Yeah, you could be like, no, no, we're good.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
I always have to be mindful of our players and
our players development, and you know, I want to make
sure that I'm always doing what's best for our players
and of course our team. But you know, with young players,
I'm always thinking about last week making the change with
to Dylan. You have to think long and hard about
that because these are these are young players that you're
so invested in their development. So I'll let the week
(14:15):
play out, make a decision later on that, all right.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And it looks like they are getting go with Bailey
Zappy at number two. Of course they are, Yeah, just
a crazy and then you know they got Cooper Rush
in Baltimore. Right now, things are not as expected right
now in the AFC North, and that's exactly why these
dealers have to make hay right now coming off a buy.
(14:38):
When you get to early buy, you got to take
advantage of it. You get two division games back to
back against teams who have fed up quarterback situations. You
have to take advantage of that. Like if you're not
getting another buye, you know you're going to face them
down the road, these AFC North teams without having some
big time names. No, they don't have Ramsey right now,
(14:58):
but like you know, it's conceived. No Rogers for a
couple of those games at some point, No DK for
a couple of those games at some point. You gotta
win them now while you have this many people helpful
coming off the buy.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Yep, uh makes them.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Hey, anything you wanted to get to even though there's
seventy chances.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Ran, its totally up to you. You want to hear
Bruce Dickinson.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Okay, so this is less than a month now after
he got to sing the national anthem here at a Steelers.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Game where he did a good job.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
But he did start off in a wrong being a.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Little snabby, I guess, but iron made in front. Bruce
Dickinson has reprised that performance in Los Angeles. So this
rendition of the star spangled banner took place before the
opening night between Los Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So let's take a listen.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Oh can you see does hit it.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
At the twist?
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Last? Leave post broad strikes, Sun.
Speaker 13 (16:07):
Broad Stars bred a pair Rall five are.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
The re pots we washed were so kindly.
Speaker 13 (16:20):
Street and the rubber Cats, Red Clif the Bonds for singing.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Can't proofs through the night.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
That our flag was still.
Speaker 13 (16:38):
Enough, sat Stars Spangled, Oh the land Pad.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
The Free Man on. I like that. I like it.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
I like the arrangement.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I dig it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Why don't you like it?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
A little pitchy, a little pitchy dog.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
But I also think he got a little like like
he was doing a flapper anyway.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
S spine.
Speaker 14 (17:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It was a little oh shike like like he was
lifting up his dress doing the can can. Maybe he
was a little bit, but I don't know. He's pretty
stick and said he's awesome. I love him. So he
made up for it with that last note.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
But he did start in the right key and he
remained there the entirety of the He took some liberties
with the.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
All I'm saying is it ain't no jeff Jefferson, That's
all I'm saying. He Christina Aguilera, Oh.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
Yeah, A lot of people complain about that.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Myron Cope having his famous just sing this song break.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Yeah, you do kind of be dazzle the song when
you do that.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I liked it.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
I love Bruce Dickinson favorite national anthem. I mean, obviously
Whitney Houston is up there, but Lewis, Carl Lewis was awful.
Chris Stapleton, I think did one of the best renditions
I've ever heard, was a good one. Jennifer Hudson absolutely
crushed it for the Super Bowl in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Marvin Gay at the nineteen eighty four All Star Game NBA.
I've heard this.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Oh dude, hold on, we got to think about that
because Baboon he's going to do the halftime, but I
wonder who's going to do the h.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
About that? Sorry about that? That was my That's bad.
That's on me. All right, here we go.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
It was Marvin Gay.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
You know, it was just unique.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
It was special. Can you see you fight?
Speaker 14 (19:13):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You ever keep those likes?
Speaker 5 (19:22):

Mike Psuda has got your sports right now on the DV.
Speaker 15 (21:41):
Morning show Mike Sports Up, brought to you by Bridgeville Appliants.
If you guys want sports national anthems at their finest, yeah,
you need an upper guy in a hockey rink. I
don't know if they even still do that anymore. They
used to have that kind of guy in Boston and
New York and Chicago.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
I remember him in the young.
Speaker 15 (22:00):
Guy in the Tucks just oh god, just ran out
the crowd going crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Rene Rancourt, Yeah, that's the Chicago guy. That's the Bruins.
Speaker 15 (22:11):
The Boston guy I think used to be got Madison
Square Garden. I think his name is John Aramante.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Was he in the military or did he like? Wasn't
there a guy that used to come out and sing
the anthem in the garden.
Speaker 15 (22:25):
I don't know if that was the Garden, but a good,
you know, classically trained singer just letting it rip with
an organ.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
Oh god, you see the doms.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
What's so brod? The organ.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Slapsh I'm not gonna put that he does. This might
have been a bad because he's older. There he was
sick too, Yeah, he'd come out. Yeah.
Speaker 15 (23:03):
So the one, the famous one of all time is
the Chicago Stadium All Star game during the Gulf War.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Who is that?
Speaker 15 (23:10):
I don't know, but the crowd went. It was at
the old Chicago Stadium. The crowd went so berserk. You
couldn't even hear the gay one. Wayne Messer in nineteen
ninety one. Yeah, let me see if I can queue
that up. I love stuff like this. Yeah, just American
(23:31):
flights everywhere.
Speaker 14 (23:31):
This is it.

home America.

Yeah, there's.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
A lot of true. That was it. That was a
weird time. This was.
Speaker 14 (24:03):
Cool.
Speaker 15 (24:03):
Now anyway, back to football, significant development in Dublin. The
Steelers ran the football, and they ran it well. And
better still, the offensive line knew they ran it well
and they were feeling it while.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
They were running it. Well, here's a extra offensive lineman.
Speaker 15 (24:25):
Spencer Anderson, otherwise known as number seventy four, is eligible.
Speaker 14 (24:30):
We're having fun out there, you know, coming on the sideline,
having fun, just getting back to what we know and
playing our ran the ball. You know, we had a
couple of successful runs the past weeks, but you know,
last week or two weeks ago, whenever it was, I
felt like we kind of took off.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
In the run game.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
What got you there?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
What got you back to playing?
Speaker 14 (24:49):
You know, just believing in ourselves and not trying to
do too much. Obviously, throughout the week you can kind of,
oh man, you can get like kind of the pressure
on maybe the old lines doing this, maybe the onlyline
needs to do that. But and then and they just
cover guys up and led Jalen, Kenny, g Caleb do
whatever they need to do.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (25:05):
So he's talking about silencing the outside noise, right, those
guys have heard it all season. They're not good enough,
they're too young, they're too small, they stink, you know.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
Use it as fuel.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
They were able to put that aside and they got
the job done.
Speaker 15 (25:18):
Zach Frasier felt the same kind of vibe, and he
thought the offensive line fed off it.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Yeah. I kind of that was a fun game.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
We're definitely getting into it with them up front, and
uh just kind of could feel their energy as the
game kept going on, and I felt like we played
hard up front.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
And that's two guys. They had fun.
Speaker 15 (25:39):
Do you think the offensive line was having fun before
the Vikings game.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
No, I don't either, and neither were we.
Speaker 15 (25:45):
So that's that's a real positive sign, right And there
you know the times they ran the yards, the yards
would carry rushing touchdowns. Everything was seasoned high by a
long shot. The asterisk is they had two chances to
nailed the coffin shut running the ball and the goal
line on fourth down yep, and then the third and
one before they had to punt the ball back and
(26:08):
they could not run the ball and put the nail
on the coffin. And Fraser knows they're going to have
to do that to be where they need to be.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
We gotta finish close, We gotta finish.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Yeah, it looks like you're going into ten man boxes.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
Yeah yeah, I mean that's tough. We know that's gonna happen,
especially in for a minute in the game stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But we were closed.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
But we just gotta be a little bit better and
close out games like that.
Speaker 15 (26:32):
He's absolutely right, and they are going to have to
run in his stack boxes to close games that good
teams run the ball when the other team knows they're
going to run the ball, they run it anyway, and
they run it well enough to finish the job.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
And we have not seen that from the Steels yet. Now,
the real encouraging thing.
Speaker 15 (26:48):
Remember after the Seattle game, Aaron Rodgers was talking about
what do you want to see from the running game?
Was what will tell us it's better, and he said
explosive runs, which by their standard are ten yard runs.
They had one of those the first two weeks. They
had two at New England, and they had four against Minnesota.
So it's trending in the right direction.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Now.
Speaker 15 (27:08):
One of those quote unquote explosive runs was Roger's ten
yard scramble on which he fumbled and Broderick Jones recovered it,
so that one's kind of an anomaly.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
But I love that play because Broderick Jones kept running
after the play.
Speaker 15 (27:23):
Yeah, and that was an example that spoke to me.
That was an example of the engagement they had. A
lot of people talked about Peyton Wilson. I'm glad you
brought that up, Bill, because a lot of people talked
about Peyton Wilson's chase at the end and Calvin Austin
being all the way down the field to help Metcalf
get in the end zone.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
No quit.
Speaker 15 (27:40):
Broderick Jones was the same kind of engagement. Hey, all right,
quarterback took off. I'm following him because I don't know
what might happen, but I'm gonna be there.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Let me get to the ball right in his chest.
You get everybody playing like that.
Speaker 15 (27:51):
You're on site, Chris Jones. Yeah, yeah, so they're getting there,
but they're not there yet. Cleveland's the number one run
defense in the league.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
It gonna be tough sledding.
Speaker 15 (28:02):
They got to run it because they can't be in
third and eleven against these guys or Miles Garrett will
destroy this game. And that's how they How can they lose?
That's how third and long and they have to hold
the ball. They can't play chuck and duck, and then
that's going to go badly.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
I think you have have to establish the run, no
matter how long it takes. Yeah, even and he might
not get it in the first half.
Speaker 15 (28:23):
Great point. I mean, Punton's not the worst thing here.
Same thing on the defensive side. They got to make
Dylan Gabriel in. They got to put him in uncomfortable
spots if they let Judkins in the Cleveland offensive line
dictate tempo and how the game is played.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
That's going to be a problem.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I hope I can find the prop bet for Cam
Hayward pass deflecting. Yeah, what is I like a five
to nine quarterback against Cam.
Speaker 15 (28:51):
Doesn't throw a ton from the pocket though, because he
knows he's he knows he's a five to nine quarterback.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Smart kid, smart, smartting up.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Well, I mean that's what happens when you spend seven
years in college. You learned stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
When we come back, Guy Junker talking Steelers Browns for

Browns one o'clock Sunday here on the flagship of the

X guest, brought to you by Edgar Snyder and associates.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
They're always looking out for you in this imperfect world.
Before you talk to the insurance company, find Edgar, Guy Junker,
Lady and gentlemen.
Speaker 14 (29:56):
What's up.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Good morning.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
But I feel like I haven't talked to you in a.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Year, and now that Ireland trip took a year off
our life, I think. And that was just againness Brewery
tot was seriously, my mom's like, what did you all see?
And I was like, the inside of pubs, yep, that's
the only thing we did. We went from one pump
to another, full of Steeler fans everywhere we went. An
unbelievable experience. But guy, we were talking about national anthems
(30:24):
earlier does a sport event national anthem stick out to
you as one of the all time greats.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
Well, Mike was talking about that. I always remember I
was actually on a skiing.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Trip that NHL All Star game right after the golf
war broke out.
Speaker 11 (30:36):
But the guy that I always enjoyed and I covered
a lot of playoff games up in Ottawa, his name
is Lyndon Slewage.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
He wore his uniform.
Speaker 11 (30:43):
He looked like mister mcpheely, if you remember him, that
he would sing the Canadian anthem, partially in French, partially
in English. The entire arena would sing it with him,
and they'd passed that big Canadian flag around.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Through the stands, and then he did a great job
in the American anthem too.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
But at the end of it he gave this little
salute with a thumbs up and a wink, and he
had gloves on and he I thought he was all.
Speaker 8 (31:05):
I always enjoyed watching his performance.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, pretty incredible.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
Uhact, I remember after that one playoff series, and so
they always passed that Canadian flag around.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
And it looks like it looks like the ocean ripples
and it's perfect.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
They tried to do that at the ag Paints Arena
with an American flag and by the time it got
to the corner of the rink it was like three
quarters cock eyed, half upside down.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
And then I think they only did it the one
game yecause it didn't work.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Some dude from Dormont eating a hot dog in the
half holding up with the one hand.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Well, that's sure.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Practiced this.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
In uh Croke Park in Ireland, they unveiled a huge
terrible towel flag, and I was thinking, there's kind of
be a lot of Vikings fans under there who are
super pissed by this.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
Yeah, that's well.
Speaker 11 (31:49):
I remember the Super Bowl and they unveiled it that
the Rose Bowl and Cope was on the somehow got
under the PA system. You were listening to Jack Fleming
and Cope over the whole stadium PA.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
So yeah, that's the cool thing.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
I mean, I think it's Uh, you guys were talking
earlier about Pat McAfee and the Pittsburgh influences on the NFL.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
Now, I mean that anytime we're repped somewhere, it's great.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well, you know, speaking of that, he had Bruce Arians
on the show the other day and he's like, I
don't know how Stefanski's kept his job. I'm like, well,
he's a two time coach of the Year in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
I don't giving out the coach of the year pff
because how what writers like, I mean, making the playoffs
and beating the Steelers in Pittsburgh was impressive, but what else?
Speaker 7 (32:31):
He wasn't even there for that, by the way.
Speaker 11 (32:33):
Well, I mean that's how the whole dysfunction of that
organization with the surprising trade of joke, which, by the way,
I I just don't get that. Why do you throw
a life preserver to a team in the division because
they might beat the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
That's that's the only thing I think of the enemies
of my enemy as my friend.
Speaker 11 (32:53):
Oh my goodness, I mean, I think, I think, I
read that's only the third time ever that quarterbacks were traded.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Within the same division and history. I mean, it just
doesn't happen.
Speaker 11 (33:02):
And I, you know, I had no they've gotten something
great in return that could improve them. But to move
up one one round in the draft and you're giving
one of your rivals a chance at redemption.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
I didn't get that at all.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
No neither.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
No, I think it's that art of war stuff. They're
a mess, you know, And that's why the onus is
on the Steelers this weekend. The Steelers had to buy.
The Browns are coming back from London. You know, the
Steelers had time to get healthy. The Browns are probably
limping a little bit after that game, coming dealing with
the travel, losing the quarterback that took most of the
(33:38):
snaps in the preseason, and knew some quarterback who was
a big part of that defense. I know that they
get some you know, somewhat of an equitable trade there
and a guy that's really a depth at man coverage.
But this is an organization in flux right now coming
into your house. You have to take advantage of the
early buy and get the next two wins. In the AFC,
(33:59):
north Well.
Speaker 11 (34:00):
Anon Browns traded not only for the exchange the corner
batch of Jacksonville, but they've got an offensive tackle earlier
this week from Houston.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
You know, it's kind of like there. I don't know
if they're giving up. At least they're trying to do
something I guess to get better for the rest of
this year.
Speaker 7 (34:17):
But I agree.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
Look, the Vegas guys still have Baltimore as the favorites
to win the division, and there's a lot there's been
a lot of talk the last couple I mean, can
it be any better than you get a week off
and everybody loses. I mean, it's the greatest week health
year and you gain ground on everybody.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
But you look at that last month of the season.
They got to play Baltimore twice.
Speaker 11 (34:36):
They have to go to Detroit. We've talked all year
about how their schedule gets tougher at the end, and
I agree with miss Matthews. I don't feel sorry for
anybody with injuries. That's the way the game goes.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
But they have to be pointed out as a fact
of what's going on.
Speaker 11 (34:49):
I mean, Roe conn Smith, Ronnie Stanley, Marlin Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton,
Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
The Ravens are destroyed right now.
Speaker 11 (34:57):
I'm not quite ready to completely write them off, but
if you can win two games here in less than
a week, you know they should, really they That would
provide them so much wiggle room to stumble a little
bit down the stretch. Remember the own four finish last year.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
I mean lots of bad stuff. Their Decembers have been awful.
Speaker 11 (35:17):
Four times in the last six years, they've lost three
in a row or more in the month of December.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
So I'm not.
Speaker 11 (35:24):
Counting any chickens before they're hatched here, even though things
are really looking great for early October.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Yeah, no doubt about that guy. Should the Yankees fire
Aaron Boone?
Speaker 11 (35:34):
No, No, I don't think so. I think he's a
good manager. You know they're pitching. You know, their bullpen
especially wasn't that great all year? They did they did
what they always do. They can afford to do what
they want to bolster it, and they did, and Bedingar
pitched well for them.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
But I wouldn't fire them. I mean, I like to
see them lose.
Speaker 11 (35:56):
I can't stand the amount of shots of their fans
that they show every time something goes wrong, bringing their
hands and grabbing their face and praying, and they act
like the World Trade Center just came down again. I mean,
you know, your team is no more.
Speaker 8 (36:13):
Important than anybody else's.
Speaker 11 (36:14):
I don't care what your history says or what you think,
but the dramatic, yeah, of course. I guess if you
spend three thousand dollars a ticket to get into the game,
is that well.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
I think he's a good manager.
Speaker 11 (36:27):
I don't think he got I don't think they lost
because they got out managed Toronto. I was impressed with
Toronto when they played at PNC Park this year, just
in the way they play. They don't have to hit
three run homers four times a game.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
You know they can.
Speaker 8 (36:40):
They got some bangers, but they play small ball. They
do the little things right. The only game they lost,
they're really good. Defense kind of let them down.
Speaker 11 (36:47):
I mean, i've draw pop up let them get back
in the game.
Speaker 8 (36:50):
I mean their offensive stats against the Yankees. So you know,
you sit there and you watch a Yankee.
Speaker 11 (36:54):
Lineup and you're seeing you know, Aaron Judge, John Carlos Stanton,
all those guys coming up in a row with all
the home runs and Paul Goldschmid and think, oh my god,
what would it be like to have a lineup like that?
Speaker 6 (37:05):
Right, I'll tell you what's really gonna piss me off
next year, guy, is when the Yankees this offseason trade
for Mitch Keller and it's Keller, Cole and Bednar pitching
in the pinstripes.
Speaker 11 (37:16):
Yeah, and in a couple more years you can throw
steins in the mix too. I'll say this though, Bill,
I was really you.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
Know, PNC Park, because it's such a great park.
Speaker 11 (37:24):
Gets so many out of town fans all the time,
and some of them command and they're they're pretty well behaved.
Some of them are church you know, the Philly fans.
But the Mets fans had the balls this year to
come in here and chant you're in last place and
clap their hands while the Pirates were sleeping and beating,
and they blowed that big lead and end up missing.
My favorite part of the baseball season this year as
(37:45):
the Mets.
Speaker 8 (37:46):
Blowing that.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
All together, Guy Junker. Brought to you by Edgar Snyder
in Associates this morning here on DVE. Okay, So the
Penguins get off to a pretty good start also with
that win Tuesday at Madison Square Garden. They're back at
it with their home opener tonight against the Islanders. And
can't you know, discern a whole lot from one game. Oh,
(38:11):
they're going undefeated, but you know, no, I didn't know
half the names I was hearing on Tuesday night. But
it was nice to see them ge to win against
Sully in his new house there, and I think that
portends well, especially the fact that they didn't start Jari
and Gold and they got to shut out.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
Well, if you look at last year, they lost six
nothing to the Rangers to start the season and it
was a poorten of things to come.
Speaker 14 (38:33):
Now.
Speaker 8 (38:34):
I'm not saying this is gonna they're gonna have this
great defensive.
Speaker 11 (38:36):
Team, but you can't take much out of one game
out of a season of eighty two games. But I
think they played a better team defense in that game
than any game last year. The Rangers were smothered. I
felt like I was watching the New Jersey Devils for
a while they're playing, and I think that's a look
if news has them buying into being much more one
(38:59):
of the tough things.
Speaker 15 (39:00):
And Mike.
Speaker 8 (39:00):
I have all respect in the world for Mike Sullivan.
He did great things.
Speaker 11 (39:03):
It just got to be to the point, I think
this guy is better suited to develop younger players than
Mike WASH's, who's better suited for managing superstars or trying
to win. But he's got looks like he's got his
hands full of New York. But I just think that
if they if they played that kind of hockey last year,
all the odd man breaks and blowing leads that they
built up, and just not the guy without the puck
(39:26):
didn't never seem to be responsible last year. If you
didn't have the puck, you weren't doing anything. And I
saw none of that in the first game. One game,
But to me, it was a drastic change in the
way they play.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Guy Junker always a pleasure, buddy. We'll talk to you
next week, okay, guys.
Speaker 8 (39:40):
See then I.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Didn't even get to ask him about Penn State.
Speaker 7 (39:43):
I would have loved that.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Still losing the U c L Are you still there?
Speaker 8 (39:52):
I'm still here.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
I'm willing to go along. I want to hear what
you have to say about James Franklin.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
I'll face the music.
Speaker 11 (40:01):
All the guys that have season tickets with once the
guy fired, one guy threatened and did not go anymore.
He's always been a great recruiter, and I think he's
always struggled a little bit within the sixty minutes of
actually coaching the game.
Speaker 8 (40:14):
So but I think you know, I'm not for firing him.
Speaker 11 (40:19):
That was the worst loss in his tenure there, without
a doubt, and I had you guys were in Dublin
two weeks ago. I wasn't on last week because I
was in Nashville for a wedding, and thank god I
was at the wedding and didn't get to watch it,
And every time I picked up my phone, I.
Speaker 8 (40:32):
Wanted to throw it at the groom.
Speaker 7 (40:37):
They've ruined the season.
Speaker 8 (40:38):
I mean it's you know, they'd have to win out
to have any chance of making the playoffs now, and
they're not going to win in Columbus. So yeah, it's
tough to watch.
Speaker 11 (40:46):
But I am not in favor of getting rid of
James Franklin, be careful what you wish for. I think
he's If he continues to recruit like that, they'll still
That's the kind of loss they haven't had. They lose
the Ohio States and the Michigan's, but they hardly ever
get upset if their favorite.
Speaker 8 (40:59):
They win a couple more like that, and then there
may be more whispers.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
All right, thanks for hanging on a little longer. Appreciate it.
By all right, Budy, we'll see you know. I had
to ask him.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
I mean, you know, the way that that game was going.
He's lucky he didn't throw the phone at the groom.
The best man would have intercepted it and returned.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
It to a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Thanks to Meryl Hodge, Missy Matthews and Guy Tomorrow on
the show, Dave Damashek, Shawn call Your green Field's Finest
Podcast Boys, and Nick Herbig from the Pittsburgh Steelers will
be joining us next with the Electric Lunch at New Never.
Good day, everybody, I'm finished. You stay classy, Pittsburgh. Don't
touch your face.
Speaker 11 (41:36):
I got him touch Pittsburgh day baby.

go ahead?

It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DV, brought
to you by iron Workers Local Union number three. They
don't go to the office, They build it at Steelers
Pro Shop. Get it direct from the team at shop
dot Steelers dot com. Here's Tom Opraman.
Speaker 17 (42:05):
The Steelers will open up AFC Noorth play for the
twenty twenty five season when they welcome the Browns to
akerschur Stadium Sunday afternoon at one pm. Pittsburgh, already off
to an early lead in the division despite not playing
a division fow yet, will hope to get off to
the right start and division play against Cleveland, something history
says is probably more likely than not. The Steelers lead
the all time series against the Browns with a record
of eighty two sixty four and one, and since the
(42:26):
Browns returned to Cleveland in nineteen ninety nine, they've only
managed to beat the Steelers a total of twelve times,
including in the playoffs. Furthermore, the Browns haven't experienced a
regular season win at Pittsburgh since October fifth of two thousand.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
And three, a twenty two game losing streak.
Speaker 17 (42:40):
All that hopes to be a good omen for the
Steelers on Sunday, but their head coach, Mike Tomlin also
knows a thing or two.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
About beating these Browns.
Speaker 17 (42:46):
He boasts an impressive fourteen and four record against Cleveland
in his tenure as Steelers coach.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
If the Steelers can add another win to.
Speaker 17 (42:52):
Their already impressive resume in this the AFC's oldest rivalry,
they won't only get the satisfaction of sending Little Brother
up the road to Cleveland a loser yet again, but
they'll also further strengthen their already tight grip on the AFC.
North On Tom Opferman with the Steelers report, you.

it's like it fills you up on like cheese, and
oh yeah, I want to save it for all the
other tastes. To me, it's like the best, the best
possible way to like execute a dinner is to have
as many different tastes as possible in that dinner. I
call it bordaining it. I want to boordain it, just

Yeah. No, so I like an acoustics hut you like it.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's a simple.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
I mean, I'm a big app guy. I like the apps.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I do love apps. I just don't like the apps
that like.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
I don't like the heavy ones. You don't like the

then you get off on the first one.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
And isn't that where that comedy place? Is it by there?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Oh, the new comedy place, I'm not sure, the comedy bar.
And there's the one in crafton which I always get
it's not. It's not It's not Seraphinos did it. I
thought it was Italian? Yeah, I thought it was.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Okay, that's what it is. We're talking about PF. Chang's
back in the day being like the place. Remember when
Bravo first came.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Out, Oh man, you mean I get to dip this break?
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Like where am I in Tuscany.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Bravo did the exact same thing that Chipotle did. I
think they lured you in with a superior product and
then in credibled the core and you were like, you
know what for fast casual, this is really effing good.
This is awesome. This is my go to. And then
(05:38):
a couple of years in the food quality just went
through the basement. It just went way down. Remember how
good the pork used to be at uh Chipotle? And
then they're like, yeah, we don't have pork anymore. What
it's expensive? Yeah, well okay, letn't charge us. No, We're
just not going to do you pork. And then there
was that time where they're like, hey, we had some
bad chicken. No chicken, what, Yeah, we don't have chicken
(05:59):
for a while. Like everything went down at Chipotle. It's
still baseline, Okay, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Oh yeah, I have it multiple times a week.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
No, it's Bravo. Though Bravo used to be. I thought
pretty good quality for a chain, you know, and now
I don't. I think it's like the Red Lobster. It's like,
it's like not Olive Garden, but it's not far away man,
totally agree.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
But that's the core, the faux finish on the walls,
the patina, the audience beyond springs you went on.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Oh yeah, no, everybody's mom decided that after you went
to Bravo that they were like, our whole house is
going to be dusky, eat.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Dough for the kids, crayons, draw anywhere you want.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Fake grapes everywhere, say fake grapes. Where's my Italian? When
the last time you ate an Olive Garden?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You can tell me. I will not.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
I'll tell you it was.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I mean, definitely when we were in the old building
once or twice we went.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
There, the entire time we were in the old building
in Green Tree, when I got there in nineteen ninety nine,
I never ate at.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
That Olive Garden.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Never. Never what they do to you, never want I
was an Italian oven guy. I liked Italian.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
I love Italian because I wasn't a big fan of
the pasta straws that they tried to put on us.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Oh I didn't any I liked.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
This is garbage.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I liked that they gave you crayons and oh yeah
on the Yeah, we should draw a tip meter. Kids.
We'd be like good, it'd be woult be good. It'd
be like hi, and there would be bad at the bottom,
like who knows where the I mean the arrow could go.
Speaker 10 (07:47):
My god, it was you made the servers thing for
their supper. Well, it would just be like we'd be jagging.
I mean we were like seventeen, you know what I mean. Yeah,
But at any rate, it's like the Pizza Hut thing.
You went in there and it was like the Pizza
Hut buffet.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You had to win. It wasn't about just going to eat.
It was okay, I'm gonna pay ten bucks for this.
You're getting thirty dollars with a pizza and salad.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
You really had the eye up the slices because you
didn't want to get a crusty slice that's just been
under that lamp for too long.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Dude, I used to do that at Battles all the time,
and it pissed me off because they had the lunch
buffet and you go in and you'd be like, you know,
a pizza's coming out soon, but you can't wait, so
you're like, I'll just eat one of those that's been
sitting there for a while, and then you fill up
on the crusty piece of crunch man. All I hear
is a sound in a while life.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
But I mean, dish obviously the best, it's the best,
gold standard.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Just people shouldn't go there. It's two crowded, no people.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I mean that place, like the meal should come with
a bed at the end, because I've never left there
and done anything but.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Go to bed.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Well, Jonathan, who you know the all of Amelia family
that's a satellite restaurant R. Yeah, So it's the same
kind of.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Experience, the same exact experience.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
The veal chop at all A Familia is the Fred
Flintstone Brunosaurus perper thing like tip over the table when
they put it down.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
I ate that one night and had the meat sweats,
and I've never had the meat sweats before, but it
was the dead of winner and I could have rolled
down the driveway and melted all the snow.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Yep, I was on fire.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You start to wonder, you're like, am I having cardiac
distress rate?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
I'd never found like I had to walk it off.
I got up and walked around.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
The problem is they give you all of those courses
and they're like, the salad is awesome, and then you
get that they always have that the pasta and it's
like a vodka sauce that they give you a squiggly
pasta ye, and you want to eat all of that
and you're on myself there and you got to get
a meatball if you're there, because it's the meatball that's
the size of a mushball, like a softball, with motts
(09:52):
inside of it exactly, And so you're crushing that and
then you know the eight pound veal chop hasn't even
come yet.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
They should just smack you in the face with it
when they're bring it to the table. Just knocked me out.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
We took Sally there for a birthday once time. I
think you were there, Bill, I think you were there.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Oh, I was member.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
She was talking about what are they doing? They're selling
crack over there, just leaving them alone. Sally we're selling drugs. Sally.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
That was a good place for her because she's always
eating everybody else's food and you don't have to there.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
That is true.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
You can't even eat all your own food.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
What's that hand right in your salad? Fistful of lettuce?
Pausta by hand. When you're talking about Pittsburgh Walk of
Fame earlier, that was the name that fout for me.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Of course, Sure, she's definitely going in Clardo, Sally Wiggins,
Joe donarda definitely without a question.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I mean, didn't MacAfee have like a Joe Donardo like
chant going at the Jelly Roll concert.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
I don't know, but he definitely has Joe Donardo represented
in his studio and he references him a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It is how much Pittsburgh culture has permeated the NFL,
a large part because of Pat having the stage that
he does now, but also because there's just everybody talks
to has Pittsburgh ties.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Even when he was talking to Rogers before Rogers was
on the Steelers. The amount of Pittsburgh in that dude's
career was ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
By the way, thank god he's not doing that show
this year. That is helping tremendously. Like a lot of
the knocks that were coming against him were a result
of him doing that show and steering attention towards things
he said, and by not doing any of that, it
solves so many of the issues that people like me
were concerned about.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yeah, completely impacts my personal opinion on him.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, I mean I don't agree with most people in
the NFL. They're just not on the biggest show of
the world talking about it every week. Yeah, and then
it becomes the thing that you talk about that week.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yeah, this is like really fun to find out the
easiest way to make me like you shut up.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Shut your mouth when you're talking to men, Shut your mouth.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
So Flacco's coming in and Zach Taylor, or rather Flacco's
not playing for the Brown. Zach Taylor did a press
conference and talked about how, yeah, he drove down and
he learned all the plays driving here from Cleveland. Stefanski
does a press conference yesterday and he's like, I didn't
even know we were trading him.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
He said he was going out for milk and cigarettes
and then he never came home.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
It's so funny, Like, dude, it's a mess. The quarterback
situation in the AFC North.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
They are in such a disjointed way, like to trade
for Kenny Pickett and then to trade him away before
the season even started, to sign Flacco, to draft two quarterbacks,
it looked like Stefanski was like, let's get Gabriel and
ownership or Barry or whoever else was like, hey, let's
get shit door and now they got both of the
(13:02):
Like it's it's absurd what they're doing.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
Yeah, it looks like nobody talks to each other in
that building.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
This was the fancy yesterday talking about it.
Speaker 11 (13:11):
Excited if Shador is going to be your number two
active quarterback for this weekend.
Speaker 12 (13:17):
Yet, Well, first i'd tell you is that Joe trade
took us by surprise. That was not something that we
saw coming. You know, they called us, and you know
that's no.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
You can say no.
Speaker 12 (13:28):
It happened very fast, and happened not too long ago,
so still working through all roster type of things.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I just all right, So he's not saying Andrew Barry
didn't tell him about it, which is how I originally
interpreted that. He's to just.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Say like it's a surprise, like it's not when you're
in Disney world and someone says, hey, you want to
trade pins and you have to trade them?
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Yeah, you could be like, no, no, we're good.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
I always have to be mindful of our players and
our players development, and you know, I want to make
sure that I'm always doing what's best for our players
and of course our team. But you know, with young players,
I'm always thinking about last week making the change with
to Dylan. You have to think long and hard about
that because these are these are young players that you're
so invested in their development. So I'll let the week
(14:15):
play out, make a decision later on that, all right.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And it looks like they are getting go with Bailey
Zappy at number two. Of course they are, Yeah, just
a crazy and then you know they got Cooper Rush
in Baltimore. Right now, things are not as expected right
now in the AFC North, and that's exactly why these
dealers have to make hay right now coming off a buy.
(14:38):
When you get to early buy, you got to take
advantage of it. You get two division games back to
back against teams who have fed up quarterback situations. You
have to take advantage of that. Like if you're not
getting another buye, you know you're going to face them
down the road, these AFC North teams without having some
big time names. No, they don't have Ramsey right now,
(14:58):
but like you know, it's conceived. No Rogers for a
couple of those games at some point, No DK for
a couple of those games at some point. You gotta
win them now while you have this many people helpful
coming off the buy.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Yep, uh makes them.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Hey, anything you wanted to get to even though there's
seventy chances.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Ran, its totally up to you. You want to hear
Bruce Dickinson.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Okay, so this is less than a month now after
he got to sing the national anthem here at a Steelers.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Game where he did a good job.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
But he did start off in a wrong being a.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Little snabby, I guess, but iron made in front. Bruce
Dickinson has reprised that performance in Los Angeles. So this
rendition of the star spangled banner took place before the
opening night between Los Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So let's take a listen.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Oh can you see does hit it.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
At the twist?
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Last? Leave post broad strikes, Sun.
Speaker 13 (16:07):
Broad Stars bred a pair Rall five are.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
The re pots we washed were so kindly.
Speaker 13 (16:20):
Street and the rubber Cats, Red Clif the Bonds for singing.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Can't proofs through the night.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
That our flag was still.
Speaker 13 (16:38):
Enough, sat Stars Spangled, Oh the land Pad.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
The Free Man on. I like that. I like it.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
I like the arrangement.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I dig it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Why don't you like it?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
A little pitchy, a little pitchy dog.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
But I also think he got a little like like
he was doing a flapper anyway.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
S spine.
Speaker 14 (17:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It was a little oh shike like like he was
lifting up his dress doing the can can. Maybe he
was a little bit, but I don't know. He's pretty
stick and said he's awesome. I love him. So he
made up for it with that last note.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
But he did start in the right key and he
remained there the entirety of the He took some liberties
with the.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
All I'm saying is it ain't no jeff Jefferson, That's
all I'm saying. He Christina Aguilera, Oh.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
Yeah, A lot of people complain about that.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Myron Cope having his famous just sing this song break.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Yeah, you do kind of be dazzle the song when
you do that.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I liked it.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
I love Bruce Dickinson favorite national anthem. I mean, obviously
Whitney Houston is up there, but Lewis, Carl Lewis was awful.
Chris Stapleton, I think did one of the best renditions
I've ever heard, was a good one. Jennifer Hudson absolutely
crushed it for the Super Bowl in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Marvin Gay at the nineteen eighty four All Star Game NBA.
I've heard this.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Oh dude, hold on, we got to think about that
because Baboon he's going to do the halftime, but I
wonder who's going to do the h.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
About that? Sorry about that? That was my That's bad.
That's on me. All right, here we go.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
It was Marvin Gay.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
You know, it was just unique.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
It was special. Can you see you fight?
Speaker 14 (19:13):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You ever keep those likes?
Speaker 5 (19:22):
What's so?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Please? We and the first thing I heard, less.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Please, I'm doing it everywhere.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
O my god, stripes.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
And bride positis. Hilarious.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
It's fine old what people cannot stop leaving.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
The flag is just lowering until it goes onto the floor.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Damn dude, all night.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
I mean the over is hitting like mofo.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Oh yeah, multiple times hitting jam Oh my god, you're
shitting so many times.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
The hometown floppy.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
They're the whole crowd of crap and the.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
I mean that doesn't make you want to bone America.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Mike Psuda has got your sports right now on the DV.
Speaker 15 (21:41):
Morning show Mike Sports Up, brought to you by Bridgeville Appliants.
If you guys want sports national anthems at their finest, yeah,
you need an upper guy in a hockey rink. I
don't know if they even still do that anymore. They
used to have that kind of guy in Boston and
New York and Chicago.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
I remember him in the young.
Speaker 15 (22:00):
Guy in the Tucks just oh god, just ran out
the crowd going crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Rene Rancourt, Yeah, that's the Chicago guy. That's the Bruins.
Speaker 15 (22:11):
The Boston guy I think used to be got Madison
Square Garden. I think his name is John Aramante.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Was he in the military or did he like? Wasn't
there a guy that used to come out and sing
the anthem in the garden.
Speaker 15 (22:25):
I don't know if that was the Garden, but a good,
you know, classically trained singer just letting it rip with
an organ.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
Oh god, you see the doms.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
What's so brod? The organ.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Slapsh I'm not gonna put that he does. This might
have been a bad because he's older. There he was
sick too, Yeah, he'd come out. Yeah.
Speaker 15 (23:03):
So the one, the famous one of all time is
the Chicago Stadium All Star game during the Gulf War.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Who is that?
Speaker 15 (23:10):
I don't know, but the crowd went. It was at
the old Chicago Stadium. The crowd went so berserk. You
couldn't even hear the gay one. Wayne Messer in nineteen
ninety one. Yeah, let me see if I can queue
that up. I love stuff like this. Yeah, just American
(23:31):
flights everywhere.
Speaker 14 (23:31):
This is it.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Yeah, I mean there's a million flags. I'm running to
home America.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Who brought.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Yeah, there's.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
A lot of true. That was it. That was a
weird time. This was.
Speaker 14 (24:03):
Cool.
Speaker 15 (24:03):
Now anyway, back to football, significant development in Dublin. The
Steelers ran the football, and they ran it well. And
better still, the offensive line knew they ran it well
and they were feeling it while.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
They were running it. Well, here's a extra offensive lineman.
Speaker 15 (24:25):
Spencer Anderson, otherwise known as number seventy four, is eligible.
Speaker 14 (24:30):
We're having fun out there, you know, coming on the sideline,
having fun, just getting back to what we know and
playing our ran the ball. You know, we had a
couple of successful runs the past weeks, but you know,
last week or two weeks ago, whenever it was, I
felt like we kind of took off.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
In the run game.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
What got you there?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
What got you back to playing?
Speaker 14 (24:49):
You know, just believing in ourselves and not trying to
do too much. Obviously, throughout the week you can kind of,
oh man, you can get like kind of the pressure
on maybe the old lines doing this, maybe the onlyline
needs to do that. But and then and they just
cover guys up and led Jalen, Kenny, g Caleb do
whatever they need to do.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (25:05):
So he's talking about silencing the outside noise, right, those
guys have heard it all season. They're not good enough,
they're too young, they're too small, they stink, you know.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
Use it as fuel.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
They were able to put that aside and they got
the job done.
Speaker 15 (25:18):
Zach Frasier felt the same kind of vibe, and he
thought the offensive line fed off it.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Yeah. I kind of that was a fun game.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
We're definitely getting into it with them up front, and
uh just kind of could feel their energy as the
game kept going on, and I felt like we played
hard up front.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
And that's two guys. They had fun.
Speaker 15 (25:39):
Do you think the offensive line was having fun before
the Vikings game.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
No, I don't either, and neither were we.
Speaker 15 (25:45):
So that's that's a real positive sign, right And there
you know the times they ran the yards, the yards
would carry rushing touchdowns. Everything was seasoned high by a
long shot. The asterisk is they had two chances to
nailed the coffin shut running the ball and the goal
line on fourth down yep, and then the third and
one before they had to punt the ball back and
(26:08):
they could not run the ball and put the nail
on the coffin. And Fraser knows they're going to have
to do that to be where they need to be.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
We gotta finish close, We gotta finish.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Yeah, it looks like you're going into ten man boxes.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
Yeah yeah, I mean that's tough. We know that's gonna happen,
especially in for a minute in the game stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But we were closed.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
But we just gotta be a little bit better and
close out games like that.
Speaker 15 (26:32):
He's absolutely right, and they are going to have to
run in his stack boxes to close games that good
teams run the ball when the other team knows they're
going to run the ball, they run it anyway, and
they run it well enough to finish the job.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
And we have not seen that from the Steels yet. Now,
the real encouraging thing.
Speaker 15 (26:48):
Remember after the Seattle game, Aaron Rodgers was talking about
what do you want to see from the running game?
Was what will tell us it's better, and he said
explosive runs, which by their standard are ten yard runs.
They had one of those the first two weeks. They
had two at New England, and they had four against Minnesota.
So it's trending in the right direction.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Now.
Speaker 15 (27:08):
One of those quote unquote explosive runs was Roger's ten
yard scramble on which he fumbled and Broderick Jones recovered it,
so that one's kind of an anomaly.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
But I love that play because Broderick Jones kept running
after the play.
Speaker 15 (27:23):
Yeah, and that was an example that spoke to me.
That was an example of the engagement they had. A
lot of people talked about Peyton Wilson. I'm glad you
brought that up, Bill, because a lot of people talked
about Peyton Wilson's chase at the end and Calvin Austin
being all the way down the field to help Metcalf
get in the end zone.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
No quit.
Speaker 15 (27:40):
Broderick Jones was the same kind of engagement. Hey, all right,
quarterback took off. I'm following him because I don't know
what might happen, but I'm gonna be there.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Let me get to the ball right in his chest.
You get everybody playing like that.
Speaker 15 (27:51):
You're on site, Chris Jones. Yeah, yeah, so they're getting there,
but they're not there yet. Cleveland's the number one run
defense in the league.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
It gonna be tough sledding.
Speaker 15 (28:02):
They got to run it because they can't be in
third and eleven against these guys or Miles Garrett will
destroy this game. And that's how they How can they lose?
That's how third and long and they have to hold
the ball. They can't play chuck and duck, and then
that's going to go badly.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
I think you have have to establish the run, no
matter how long it takes. Yeah, even and he might
not get it in the first half.
Speaker 15 (28:23):
Great point. I mean, Punton's not the worst thing here.
Same thing on the defensive side. They got to make
Dylan Gabriel in. They got to put him in uncomfortable
spots if they let Judkins in the Cleveland offensive line
dictate tempo and how the game is played.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
That's going to be a problem.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I hope I can find the prop bet for Cam
Hayward pass deflecting. Yeah, what is I like a five
to nine quarterback against Cam.
Speaker 15 (28:51):
Doesn't throw a ton from the pocket though, because he
knows he's he knows he's a five to nine quarterback.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Smart kid, smart, smartting up.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Well, I mean that's what happens when you spend seven
years in college. You learned stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:07):

Browns one o'clock Sunday here on the flagship of the

X guest, brought to you by Edgar Snyder and associates.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
They're always looking out for you in this imperfect world.
Before you talk to the insurance company, find Edgar, Guy Junker,
Lady and gentlemen.
Speaker 14 (29:56):
What's up.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Good morning.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
But I feel like I haven't talked to you in a.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Year, and now that Ireland trip took a year off
our life, I think. And that was just againness Brewery
tot was seriously, my mom's like, what did you all see?
And I was like, the inside of pubs, yep, that's
the only thing we did. We went from one pump
to another, full of Steeler fans everywhere we went. An
unbelievable experience. But guy, we were talking about national anthems
(30:24):
earlier does a sport event national anthem stick out to
you as one of the all time greats.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
Well, Mike was talking about that. I always remember I
was actually on a skiing.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Trip that NHL All Star game right after the golf
war broke out.
Speaker 11 (30:36):
But the guy that I always enjoyed and I covered
a lot of playoff games up in Ottawa, his name
is Lyndon Slewage.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
He wore his uniform.
Speaker 11 (30:43):
He looked like mister mcpheely, if you remember him, that
he would sing the Canadian anthem, partially in French, partially
in English. The entire arena would sing it with him,
and they'd passed that big Canadian flag around.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Through the stands, and then he did a great job
in the American anthem too.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
But at the end of it he gave this little
salute with a thumbs up and a wink, and he
had gloves on and he I thought he was all.
Speaker 8 (31:05):
I always enjoyed watching his performance.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, pretty incredible.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
Uhact, I remember after that one playoff series, and so
they always passed that Canadian flag around.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
And it looks like it looks like the ocean ripples
and it's perfect.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
They tried to do that at the ag Paints Arena
with an American flag and by the time it got
to the corner of the rink it was like three
quarters cock eyed, half upside down.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
And then I think they only did it the one
game yecause it didn't work.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Some dude from Dormont eating a hot dog in the
half holding up with the one hand.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Well, that's sure.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Practiced this.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
In uh Croke Park in Ireland, they unveiled a huge
terrible towel flag, and I was thinking, there's kind of
be a lot of Vikings fans under there who are
super pissed by this.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
Yeah, that's well.
Speaker 11 (31:49):
I remember the Super Bowl and they unveiled it that
the Rose Bowl and Cope was on the somehow got
under the PA system. You were listening to Jack Fleming
and Cope over the whole stadium PA.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
So yeah, that's the cool thing.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
I mean, I think it's Uh, you guys were talking
earlier about Pat McAfee and the Pittsburgh influences on the NFL.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
Now, I mean that anytime we're repped somewhere, it's great.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well, you know, speaking of that, he had Bruce Arians
on the show the other day and he's like, I
don't know how Stefanski's kept his job. I'm like, well,
he's a two time coach of the Year in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
I don't giving out the coach of the year pff
because how what writers like, I mean, making the playoffs
and beating the Steelers in Pittsburgh was impressive, but what else?
Speaker 7 (32:31):
He wasn't even there for that, by the way.
Speaker 11 (32:33):
Well, I mean that's how the whole dysfunction of that
organization with the surprising trade of joke, which, by the way,
I I just don't get that. Why do you throw
a life preserver to a team in the division because
they might beat the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
That's that's the only thing I think of the enemies
of my enemy as my friend.
Speaker 11 (32:53):
Oh my goodness, I mean, I think, I think, I
read that's only the third time ever that quarterbacks were traded.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Within the same division and history. I mean, it just
doesn't happen.
Speaker 11 (33:02):
And I, you know, I had no they've gotten something
great in return that could improve them. But to move
up one one round in the draft and you're giving
one of your rivals a chance at redemption.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
I didn't get that at all.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
No neither.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
No, I think it's that art of war stuff. They're
a mess, you know, And that's why the onus is
on the Steelers this weekend. The Steelers had to buy.
The Browns are coming back from London. You know, the
Steelers had time to get healthy. The Browns are probably
limping a little bit after that game, coming dealing with
the travel, losing the quarterback that took most of the
(33:38):
snaps in the preseason, and knew some quarterback who was
a big part of that defense. I know that they
get some you know, somewhat of an equitable trade there
and a guy that's really a depth at man coverage.
But this is an organization in flux right now coming
into your house. You have to take advantage of the
early buy and get the next two wins. In the AFC,
(33:59):
north Well.
Speaker 11 (34:00):
Anon Browns traded not only for the exchange the corner
batch of Jacksonville, but they've got an offensive tackle earlier
this week from Houston.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
You know, it's kind of like there. I don't know
if they're giving up. At least they're trying to do
something I guess to get better for the rest of
this year.
Speaker 7 (34:17):
But I agree.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
Look, the Vegas guys still have Baltimore as the favorites
to win the division, and there's a lot there's been
a lot of talk the last couple I mean, can
it be any better than you get a week off
and everybody loses. I mean, it's the greatest week health
year and you gain ground on everybody.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
But you look at that last month of the season.
They got to play Baltimore twice.
Speaker 11 (34:36):
They have to go to Detroit. We've talked all year
about how their schedule gets tougher at the end, and
I agree with miss Matthews. I don't feel sorry for
anybody with injuries. That's the way the game goes.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
But they have to be pointed out as a fact
of what's going on.
Speaker 11 (34:49):
I mean, Roe conn Smith, Ronnie Stanley, Marlin Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton,
Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
The Ravens are destroyed right now.
Speaker 11 (34:57):
I'm not quite ready to completely write them off, but
if you can win two games here in less than
a week, you know they should, really they That would
provide them so much wiggle room to stumble a little
bit down the stretch. Remember the own four finish last year.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
I mean lots of bad stuff. Their Decembers have been awful.
Speaker 11 (35:17):
Four times in the last six years, they've lost three
in a row or more in the month of December.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
So I'm not.
Speaker 11 (35:24):
Counting any chickens before they're hatched here, even though things
are really looking great for early October.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Yeah, no doubt about that guy. Should the Yankees fire
Aaron Boone?
Speaker 11 (35:34):
No, No, I don't think so. I think he's a
good manager. You know they're pitching. You know, their bullpen
especially wasn't that great all year? They did they did
what they always do. They can afford to do what
they want to bolster it, and they did, and Bedingar
pitched well for them.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
But I wouldn't fire them. I mean, I like to
see them lose.
Speaker 11 (35:56):
I can't stand the amount of shots of their fans
that they show every time something goes wrong, bringing their
hands and grabbing their face and praying, and they act
like the World Trade Center just came down again. I mean,
you know, your team is no more.
Speaker 8 (36:13):
Important than anybody else's.
Speaker 11 (36:14):
I don't care what your history says or what you think,
but the dramatic, yeah, of course. I guess if you
spend three thousand dollars a ticket to get into the game,
is that well.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
I think he's a good manager.
Speaker 11 (36:27):
I don't think he got I don't think they lost
because they got out managed Toronto. I was impressed with
Toronto when they played at PNC Park this year, just
in the way they play. They don't have to hit
three run homers four times a game.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
You know they can.
Speaker 8 (36:40):
They got some bangers, but they play small ball. They
do the little things right. The only game they lost,
they're really good. Defense kind of let them down.
Speaker 11 (36:47):
I mean, i've draw pop up let them get back
in the game.
Speaker 8 (36:50):
I mean their offensive stats against the Yankees. So you know,
you sit there and you watch a Yankee.
Speaker 11 (36:54):
Lineup and you're seeing you know, Aaron Judge, John Carlos Stanton,
all those guys coming up in a row with all
the home runs and Paul Goldschmid and think, oh my god,
what would it be like to have a lineup like that?
Speaker 6 (37:05):
Right, I'll tell you what's really gonna piss me off
next year, guy, is when the Yankees this offseason trade
for Mitch Keller and it's Keller, Cole and Bednar pitching
in the pinstripes.
Speaker 11 (37:16):
Yeah, and in a couple more years you can throw
steins in the mix too. I'll say this though, Bill,
I was really you.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
Know, PNC Park, because it's such a great park.
Speaker 11 (37:24):
Gets so many out of town fans all the time,
and some of them command and they're they're pretty well behaved.
Some of them are church you know, the Philly fans.
But the Mets fans had the balls this year to
come in here and chant you're in last place and
clap their hands while the Pirates were sleeping and beating,
and they blowed that big lead and end up missing.
My favorite part of the baseball season this year as
(37:45):
the Mets.
Speaker 8 (37:46):
Blowing that.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
All together, Guy Junker. Brought to you by Edgar Snyder
in Associates this morning here on DVE. Okay, So the
Penguins get off to a pretty good start also with
that win Tuesday at Madison Square Garden. They're back at
it with their home opener tonight against the Islanders. And
can't you know, discern a whole lot from one game. Oh,
(38:11):
they're going undefeated, but you know, no, I didn't know
half the names I was hearing on Tuesday night. But
it was nice to see them ge to win against
Sully in his new house there, and I think that
portends well, especially the fact that they didn't start Jari
and Gold and they got to shut out.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
Well, if you look at last year, they lost six
nothing to the Rangers to start the season and it
was a poorten of things to come.
Speaker 14 (38:33):
Now.
Speaker 8 (38:34):
I'm not saying this is gonna they're gonna have this
great defensive.
Speaker 11 (38:36):
Team, but you can't take much out of one game
out of a season of eighty two games. But I
think they played a better team defense in that game
than any game last year. The Rangers were smothered. I
felt like I was watching the New Jersey Devils for
a while they're playing, and I think that's a look
if news has them buying into being much more one
(38:59):
of the tough things.
Speaker 15 (39:00):
And Mike.
Speaker 8 (39:00):
I have all respect in the world for Mike Sullivan.
He did great things.
Speaker 11 (39:03):
It just got to be to the point, I think
this guy is better suited to develop younger players than
Mike WASH's, who's better suited for managing superstars or trying
to win. But he's got looks like he's got his
hands full of New York. But I just think that
if they if they played that kind of hockey last year,
all the odd man breaks and blowing leads that they
built up, and just not the guy without the puck
(39:26):
didn't never seem to be responsible last year. If you
didn't have the puck, you weren't doing anything. And I
saw none of that in the first game. One game,
But to me, it was a drastic change in the
way they play.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Guy Junker always a pleasure, buddy. We'll talk to you
next week, okay, guys.
Speaker 8 (39:40):
See then I.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Didn't even get to ask him about Penn State.
Speaker 7 (39:43):
I would have loved that.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Still losing the U c L Are you still there?
Speaker 8 (39:52):
I'm still here.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
I'm willing to go along. I want to hear what
you have to say about James Franklin.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
I'll face the music.
Speaker 11 (40:01):
All the guys that have season tickets with once the
guy fired, one guy threatened and did not go anymore.
He's always been a great recruiter, and I think he's
always struggled a little bit within the sixty minutes of
actually coaching the game.
Speaker 8 (40:14):
So but I think you know, I'm not for firing him.
Speaker 11 (40:19):
That was the worst loss in his tenure there, without
a doubt, and I had you guys were in Dublin
two weeks ago. I wasn't on last week because I
was in Nashville for a wedding, and thank god I
was at the wedding and didn't get to watch it,
And every time I picked up my phone, I.
Speaker 8 (40:32):
Wanted to throw it at the groom.
Speaker 7 (40:37):
They've ruined the season.
Speaker 8 (40:38):
I mean it's you know, they'd have to win out
to have any chance of making the playoffs now, and
they're not going to win in Columbus. So yeah, it's
tough to watch.
Speaker 11 (40:46):
But I am not in favor of getting rid of
James Franklin, be careful what you wish for. I think
he's If he continues to recruit like that, they'll still
That's the kind of loss they haven't had. They lose
the Ohio States and the Michigan's, but they hardly ever
get upset if their favorite.
Speaker 8 (40:59):
They win a couple more like that, and then there
may be more whispers.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
All right, thanks for hanging on a little longer. Appreciate it.
By all right, Budy, we'll see you know. I had
to ask him.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
I mean, you know, the way that that game was going.
He's lucky he didn't throw the phone at the groom.
The best man would have intercepted it and returned.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
It to a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Thanks to Meryl Hodge, Missy Matthews and Guy Tomorrow on
the show, Dave Damashek, Shawn call Your green Field's Finest
Podcast Boys, and Nick Herbig from the Pittsburgh Steelers will
be joining us next with the Electric Lunch at New Never.
Good day, everybody, I'm finished. You stay classy, Pittsburgh. Don't
touch your face.
Speaker 11 (41:36):
I got him touch Pittsburgh day baby.
Speaker 7 (41:38):
But now you guys call me Ronald.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Would you not eat my pants? Ronald Oh, why go
go ahead?

It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DV, brought

don't go to the office, They build it at Steelers
Pro Shop. Get it direct from the team at shop
dot Steelers dot com. Here's Tom Opraman.
Speaker 17 (42:05):
The Steelers will open up AFC Noorth play for the
twenty twenty five season when they welcome the Browns to
akerschur Stadium Sunday afternoon at one pm. Pittsburgh, already off
to an early lead in the division despite not playing
a division fow yet, will hope to get off to
the right start and division play against Cleveland, something history
says is probably more likely than not. The Steelers lead
the all time series against the Browns with a record
of eighty two sixty four and one, and since the
(42:26):
Browns returned to Cleveland in nineteen ninety nine, they've only
managed to beat the Steelers a total of twelve times,
including in the playoffs. Furthermore, the Browns haven't experienced a
regular season win at Pittsburgh since October fifth of two thousand.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
And three, a twenty two game losing streak.
Speaker 17 (42:40):
All that hopes to be a good omen for the
Steelers on Sunday, but their head coach, Mike Tomlin also
knows a thing or two.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
About beating these Browns.
Speaker 17 (42:46):
He boasts an impressive fourteen and four record against Cleveland
in his tenure as Steelers coach.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
If the Steelers can add another win to.
Speaker 17 (42:52):
Their already impressive resume in this the AFC's oldest rivalry,
they won't only get the satisfaction of sending Little Brother
up the road to Cleveland a loser yet again, but
they'll also further strengthen their already tight grip on the AFC.
North On Tom Opferman with the Steelers report, you.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
See the skyline, you drive over the bridges. We built
that Ironworkers Local Union number three. This isn't just a job.
