Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sounds cool to hear, Like, I'm a big, big nostalgia guy,
and when I hear the word commanders and I see
the W on the side of it doesn't do anything
for me inside. Just so spirit that's awakened when I
when I see those words.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
So it's like a guy here quit smoking and ask
people to blow the smoke on him.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just let me.
Speaker 5 (00:20):
Smell it well, marinated, blow that racial epithet at me.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (00:24):
I didn't know if you're a dead name and you
or not. I didn't know how you felt about it
naming me.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
NTY commenter will join us in about six or seven minutes.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Abby's got a news update.
Speaker 7 (00:38):
Until then, What's up News this hour brought to you
by Better Call Sides. Let's humid today, clouds and we'll
get some sunshine. It's a high of sixty eight. And
if you miss it. In Bonnie Diver's report, apparently there's
a cow somewhere on seventy nine between Cranberry and Evans
City and state troopers are directing traffic.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Don't hit the cow, don't hit that cap.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Why don't we move it in the road.
Speaker 8 (01:05):
All right, uh.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
North Carolina's previously planned season long documentary with Hulu has
been scrapped, according to a report from Inside Carolina on.
Speaker 9 (01:14):
Tuesday, October the seventh.
Speaker 7 (01:16):
The news comes as the Tar Heels are mired in
a struggle field debut season under Belichick, who has no
previous college coaching experience before accepting the job last December.
The documentary series, which would have offered a behind the
scenes look at the program, was originally announced in August.
Speaker 9 (01:35):
With the typically dower Bill Belichick.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
Saying at the time that he was excited about the opportunity.
The Hulu project was North Carolina's second attempt at turning
Bill Belichick's first season into streaming content. Tarhills were originally
going to be featured on an off season version of
the acclaimed Hard Knock series, but shortly before and all
(02:00):
films in HBO were set to announce the agreement, Belichick's girlfriend,
Jordan Hudson demanded content approval and partial ownership of the
show Balls Amazing and that was according to a report
in May from The New York Times. Shortly after that
request was made, NFL Films, which had a long standing
(02:20):
working relationship with Belichick from his days as an NFL
coach nixed the venture, So everybody's jumping off understandably.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
It is a it's an embarrassment, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Someone commented yesterday like, when is some North Carolina heavy
hitter alumni going to come in and just buy this
guy out of his contract. The only guy I can
think of to do that would be Jordan and I
think their buddies. So I don't think that that's going
to happen.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Nope, He's probably just betting against them every week.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
He's like, why would I get rid of a cash?
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Yeah, this is money for me.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But I don't think anybody thought it was going to
be this bad. I thought he was going to have
a tougher time because of Nil. It would take away
some of his recruiting responsibilities, which I thought he would
just wouldn't do, and they would buy enough players to
make it not embarrassing. But add in the girlfriend factor,
(03:15):
and what a complete disgrace. His behavior has been like
just being led around by the hood by her, and
the embarrassment of the product on the field to boot,
It's just compounded the embarrassment for the university, which was
already kind of catching some flak forgiving him as much
(03:37):
money as they did to come there, thinking like he'll
be our saviors. Like really, I mean, he's in his
seventies and his best days are long behind him.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
At this point, do you think it's blackmail for her? Like,
because she's now damaging his career, Like she's on the field,
he's losing opportunity.
Speaker 9 (04:00):
It is now right, So not only is he proving
to not be.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
A good fit for this football program, but like he's
losing TV deals, he's losing merchandising deals. She's been a
suckubys for him, so.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Like those are her deals though you know what I mean?
I know, but doesn't mean the money. He doesn't care.
Speaker 9 (04:21):
Their relationship is hurting his legacy.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
It's it's an infomercial for the power of the woman.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
It really is that thing you guys got. I don't
know what it is.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
No stop it at some point, like why else he has.
Speaker 10 (04:41):
His best days? She wasn't alive, she wasn't on this earth.
They have nothing to talk about. They've never seen the
same shows.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
They like you like Mannix.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
You know she's into reality.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
He's a football dork.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Did you ever see the rifleman.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I mean, I don't like smoke. Well, what is it
if not that?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Dude he's dying with a smile on his face.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
That's what this is.
Speaker 9 (05:05):
I can't. I'm just why die in public, That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Why not go off and die in private? And Nantucket.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I think there is a narcissistic element to him. For
for him in all of this, you know what I mean,
where he just thinks he really is that infallible.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
Maybe yeah, but.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
He's showing his ass and his.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
Boobs little honkers.
Speaker 10 (05:33):
Dude, he got a bigger bra size than your lady,
and you stink at football.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
It's substantial.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
I just keep thinking, again, I understand what you're saying,
And maybe it is that he is the hubris here
is just so massive that he can't see how damaging
it is to his legacy. But I just keep thinking
that She's like, Okay, now if you break up with me,
I am I'm going to tell everybody how we met.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Oh yeah, hookers dot com.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Yeah, because I can't make sense of it anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, I will say this.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The other dumb thing he's done is completely like shut
off his connection to the Patriots legacy. By holding this
grudge against them, he doesn't have something to fall back
on when this inevitably completely collapses underneath him. Oh yeah,
because he could always be like my they love me
in Boston. Now, actually they kind of don't right now.
PFT commenter brought to you by Yingling. How sad are
(06:33):
you that they canceled that Hulu series on this season's
NFL or North Carolina tar Heels football program.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The tar Heels Hard Knocks the Tarnocks.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I am.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I think that we all need to take a step
back here and realize that this is another stunning marketing
move by Jordan. She has now created an insane demand
for whatever program or our company wants to step up
and pay for the next iteration of this documentary. It's
now been canceled twice, and now all we want is
the footage from this because I'm sure it's gonna be compelling, fascinating.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
He's doing a great job.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
This is this is what Bill brought her in for,
is for her for her brain. Okay, And uh, and I.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Hadn't found out the fact that she might own it,
She might own the footage.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
She might have the IP to it.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, you never know. Uh, I'll tell you this, I.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Really want that footage.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We we said on part of my take this morning
that we will we will gladly air this documentary, UH
if we can get our hands on. Because the footage
is out there, anybody wants to leak it to us,
we are we are completely fine with opening up drop
box plank using a secure email address. It's it's not
gonna be a problem if you want to be with
the UH. I gotta see what's going on behind the
(07:50):
scenes here, because it's it sounds like it's a train wreck,
and I want to see every single second of it.
And our good friend Tom Fernelli pointed out that it's
not we can't call it a documentary if it doesn't
If the behind the scenes go well and they decide
to just never air the footage, that's not what a
documentary is. This was they're trying to do a commercial
(08:12):
for North Carolina football. I understand that that's it. I
think a lot of people have completed we've forgotten what
documentaries are. In the last like I don't know, five years,
I feel like it since the Last Dance came out,
which you know, had had some behind the scenes, it
had some bias. But I even feel like the last
dance was like, you know, they showed a lot of
(08:33):
the dirty stuff. They showed a lot of the warts
and all that were going on with Chicago Bulls. But
since then, I feel like every documentary that's come out
has just been somebody with money paying a camera crew
to follow them around to show off how good they are,
and that's that's not We need to just remind people
that that's not what a documentary is. So I want
to see what's going on. I want to know every
(08:54):
single step that Jordan has taken to take this program
and mold it into her own vision. It seems like
just a train wreck of a time in North Carolina.
And I don't know that Bill Belichick's gonna last more
than a year there.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
No, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't know what his buyout is, but it's it's
gonna be substantial. And I just can't think they can
keep taking the hits on this one. I mean, you know,
them showing the student during the broadcast talking about how
depressing the TCU game was and it was what she
failed midterms and this was worse.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, it's like they're actually conspiring with the network, like,
please show how awfully he is. We need to do
whatever we can to get as much support on our
side marshalled against Bill Belichick and Jordan.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, maybe the buyout is I know that Bill's buy out.
He can get out of the construct for like a
million dollars. He can get out easy. I don't know
what North Carolina is going to end up going, but
it might take Michael Jordan's stepping in a different Dan.
So yeah, different Jordan and what we might have a
jordanus Jordan war.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Thing ends up.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
But yeah, it's going to take somebody stepping up and
running a check I think to get him out of it.
And now mac Brown comes out of this looking great.
He's just like playing the politician still in the background.
I hear he's still checking in on the program being like, hey,
you guys, miss me yet.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
How's it going down.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Right?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Mean Matt mac Brown's always going to be great at
the behind the scenes stuff like lad handing and making
sure all the donors are every single thing that Belichick
is good at or is bad at, that's what mac
Brown is good at. I think maybe kind of maybe
the opposite of that with with with Mac and his
football acumen at this point. But things are things are
looking good on the field for you and see either
I don't know if you guys saw the game against
(10:39):
Clemson last week, but you and c had had what
like two weeks to prepare for this, and the very
first play of the game they had an illegal shift
on offense, like it's it's crazy, what's going on in
Chapel Hill. And yeah, but I but I want to
know what.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I want to know all.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
The details behind the scenes. I want to see that footage.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Take a look under the I gotta tell you.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
In the baseball playoffs last night, you know, look, there
was a lot to marvel at, and the Aaron Judge
home run was fantastic and everything, But for me, maybe
the play of the year is in Camerica Park, a
Mariners fan wearing a dump sixty one shirt dump sixty
one here shirt actually caught the sixty first home run
(11:23):
from the big Dumper and it was so unusual that
the Tigers fans around him were applauding, like this is amazing.
And my question to you is he took off that
shirt and he had dump sixty two here underneath it.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
How many shirts do you think he.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Had all right?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
So right with this that I was amazed when I
saw I saw my couch because I saw that guy
in the pregame warm up, like when they were taking
bat in practice. I saw this guy wearing the dump
Here's sixty one shirt. I was like that, that's a
pretty funny shirt. And then to see him out like
that little tiny sea of green out in the outfool
cads the ball just like find him like a magnet
(12:02):
was crazy. And I took a picture of him afterwards,
and I zoomed in, and I know for a fact
that guy was wearing a dump sixty three here shirt
under the sixty two, so he had at least three
shirt song for the game. It would have shocked me
to know that this guy went all the way up
to sixty five, Like this is a man that came prepared.
I want to talk to him and figure out like
(12:24):
what his pre game between, like when he thought enough
was enough for the shirts. But I think it's more
impressive what that guy did last night than what foul
ball guy Zach Campbell does on a night to night
basis the ballhawk that sits snapfield get no runs at
every ballpark because this guy, he was only there for
a cal Rawley home run. He did not he did
not care if anybody if a Rose Arena hit a
(12:46):
home run, he'd be like, I don't want it, not
for me. That guy was there to catch cal Rawley's
sixty first home run, and he did, and the odds
of that happening are just astronomical. So I want to
know more about the guy. They the Mariners, need to
buy tickets for that guy and put him in lep,
center field or just wherever that guy's feeling like, let
his let his thoughts and and and homing instincts dictate
(13:07):
where he gets to sit in the outfield for every game,
and they need to send him out there every single
night for the rest of the playoffs. But because that
was that was absolutely crazy, and I am I'm on records.
I'm not a Yankees fan. I don't like the Yankees.
I enjoy watching the Yankees, cluse it tickles a nice
part of my brain that I used to have for
the Cowboys when when they lose big games in tragic fashion,
(13:28):
and I got to still do but it's it's amplified
to the Yankees. But that Aaron Judge home run.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Was awesome last year.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That was that was the epitome of October baseball. A
guy that has been in a funk for the postseason
throughout most of his career until this year. And he's
been really good this year. But up until now, this
has been the narrative about Aaron Judge that he can't
get it done when.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It matters the most.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
And that home run, going through the night sky, hitting
a mile up on the foul Bowl and completely changing
the game for the Yankees was. It was very cool
to see.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But I've also ninety nine miles an hour inside and
he just turned away and I mean just a crazy
effort from Judge.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
High and tight, turning on it, getting the hands out there.
I made the argument on part of my take to
that home run, while awesome and while fun and cool,
will become a footnote if the Yankees don't win this series,
Like if we look back three years from now, even
though they won this game, and you know what, even
if they do win the series and they get swept
in the ALCS or they lose in the World Series
(14:34):
and Aaron Judge doesn't play well, that home run again,
I think it will be a footnote. At some point,
it feels like do it in the World Series and
then come talk to me that you hear sometimes, but
it is true, Like that's how short our attention spans are.
It was a great home run and it was cool
to see. But let's let's pump the brakes on declaring
this like Aaron Judge is an all time Yankee for
(14:55):
this one moment.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
All right, I have to just go back to the
dumper guy. All right, the shirt he had dump sixty two,
and I'm looking at the picture you posted that it
is zoomed in. It is clear to me. Then not
only did he have a dump sixty three here shirt,
he has a dump sixty four here shirt under that one,
(15:16):
because there is the sixty two shirt is kind of turquoise,
and then you can see underneath there is a green
lining that goes underneath. Okay, and then underneath that there
is an even lighter blue shirt.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I think he's got three and I.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Would not have been surprised if on his chest he
had painted shaved dump sixty five here.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, you know what's right.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
If he had like dump sixty six painted on his
chest and then he catches sixty six, and then he
washes He also brought like hand sanitizer and like a
wet bugs with him, washed that off, and then he
has dump sixties even burned into his body. And he
(16:09):
had different colored shirts too, Like I noticed that the
thumb sixty one was a different shade of like teal
or Awqua blue or whatever. Then the shirt that he
was wearing underneath that he then showed off, so that
I don't know where this guy got his shirts. Where
he needs to get like one shirt guy that he
goes to to get the same color. But this guy
clearly is he's got away with arts and crafts because
(16:31):
they were they were well made shirts, and yeah, the
color scheme on at least like the numbers, the glossy paint,
it was really well done. I just think he needs
to have like the same color shirt. So I'm sure
he'll get some sort of sponsorship or some sort of
custom deal made. Also, I'm sure that if they win
the series, just shirts that say dump here sixty one
(16:53):
the maritals, they'll make some money off those selling those
on the open market.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
I'm a little worried.
Speaker 10 (16:58):
I'm enjoying this experience right out with this guy, but
I am worried about the ken bone effect that you know,
we love this guy. You guys have him on the pod,
we look a little deeper and then we find out
he's into prego porn or like yeah, I don't know,
like some kind of breastfeeding videos.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Get to get milk ye.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well, at this point, I feel like it it would
be like a breath of pressure if that's all it was.
If they got really a bit yeah, like looking at
at naked women who happen to be pregnant. That's like, okay, yeah,
that's not.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
Bonnie Blue, who also has the same kind of shirts.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I think sixty seven here.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, I think we as a nation would would long
for a guy who that's their worst scandal that they
like looking at naked pregnant women. So I'll be fine
with that. We did try to reach out to him
and figure out to get him on the pod late
night last night, but this guy's doing a media tour already,
and credit to him, he had he had a great
moment last night, So milk gets for Allsworth absolutely.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Kids commenter, I'm sorry we ran out of time because
I really wanted to ask you about Flacco.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh well, yeah, nightmare for you guys staying in the vision.
You guys were watching that trebure like, oh God, I
can we just get him out of our out of
our hair for a while. Yeah, that offensive line might
be a problem for Joe, though, I'm worried about that.
He's not exactly swift on his feet anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
No, I'm sure it'll be fine. It'll be it'll be great.
But we have eighty years worth of quarterbacks. When the
Steelers and the and the Bengals play each other in
uh in ten days.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I mean, I'm just glad that he found a good
home old food homes guys.
Speaker 2 (18:46):

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Who do you call? How are you gonna pay for it?
Mike Pursuda with your sports right now on the dB
Morning Show. Mike sports is.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Are brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.
Speaker 13 (19:35):
If you hadn't been paying close attention to the Penguins
training camp, yeah, probably couldn't tell the players without a scorecard.
Last night I wasn't and I couldn't for openers at
Madison Square Garden. But pretty good first step taken by
the new head coach, Dan Muse and the new the
new look Penguins three to nothing over the Rangers. You
(19:56):
have to think back to last year they opened to
Madison Square Garden, they got beat six nothing. And this
is better Sunday one three nothing. This is appreciably better. Couples.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
So Sullivan's zero to two and MSG to open the season.
Speaker 10 (20:09):
Yes, all we needed to beat the Rangers was for
Sullivan to be the coach.
Speaker 13 (20:15):
Played the wrong way. Some significant statistical developments evident last night.
Sidney Crosby starts his nineteenth season as the Penguins captain.
That ties Steve Eiserman as the longest tenured captain in
NHL histor Il his idol Crosby, along with Malkin and
(20:36):
Latang have now played together in twenty consecutive seasons. It's ridiculous,
longest of any trio in North American sports.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Not insignificant, not insignificant.
Speaker 13 (20:48):
Thirteen of the twenty players who dressed in that opener
last year did not dress last night. Someonem aren't on
the team anymore. Penn's have five rookies on the roster
for the first time since two thousand and three. Two
thousand and four, they had four rookies in the lineup
last night, and seven guys made their Penguin's debuts, including
(21:09):
the goaltender archers Sevass, who this to me is the
headliner generating development.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
That they played this kid over Jari. I agree.
Speaker 13 (21:21):
Apparently they're thun screwing around in goal. They are waiting
on the Russian kid sort of game. Mirosov. Yeah, why
are they just because what's the point? Don't want to rush? Yeah,
I want to make sure he's ready when he gets here.
But everything you hear coming out of the organization is.
He's the guy. He's the guy down the road for
a long time.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
He's Yeah, it's a good point.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
How happy you think Mike Sullivan is to have Connor
Sherry back on his team just we can say his.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Name, Connor Sherry played the Cherry way.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
I think he's happy to baby. I remember you. I
used to play young guys when you were young. I
don't do that anymore, so your to play for me again.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Hopefully he doesn't do the Ricky Henderson thing. I had
a guy like you on a team named Connor Sherry once.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
That I was Connor Cherry.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
He did Connor Sherry at the time.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
That had to really piss off Soulvan.
Speaker 13 (22:14):
I know he said all the right things leading up
to it, and he's a pro, and he wasn't gonna
get into it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh that he dropped it to the Penguins, I don't know, man.
I honestly think that was a win win, and he
would have stayed here and endured it all. But I'm
glad to see him change, bounce somewhere else, and he
he leaves here beloved.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
It's a good break.
Speaker 10 (22:39):
I'm curious to see what Dan Mus' coaching style is
because when we talked to Rusty Mike earlier this week,
he was saying, Oh, we're gonna hear Sully screaming at
the players on the other bench, and we're all gonna
get flashbacks. And I just I'm curious to see what
this guy's demeanor is on the bench.
Speaker 13 (22:58):
Yeah, I am too, and more curious about how they're
going to play.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And just some of the limited research I did.
Speaker 13 (23:07):
Just I haven't been here for a while, but I
was listening to some of the press conferences and reading
up on it. And he's not trying to reinvent the wheel,
damn use. He doesn't have a schematic revelation that nobody
else is doing. They're not going to win it on
the dry erase board. He just wants his guys to compete.
(23:30):
He's not afraid to play the young guys, and he's
not afraid to have the young guys make mistakes relative
to that he has said, quote, it's how they respond
and are we learning? Are you going to find a
way to make up for it? That's what we're looking for.
In other words, don't play scared, you screw up, You
screw up, do something about it next shift And then
(23:50):
once the team is a group to quote, play connected,
be predictable to your teammates.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
In other words, you know, I love.
Speaker 13 (23:58):
That where supposed to be when you're supposed to be there,
the old Dick Labo thing. Develop trust that you are
going to in fact be there and the other guy's going.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
To over there last night what he's supposed to be doing.
Speaker 13 (24:10):
Then the other thing is be really hard to play against,
compete from every person in the lineup. And that's really
what they struggled with, maybe more than anything, as the
Sullivan effectiveness waned over the year. They just stop playing
hard enough.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
You know what's crazy is that last night the Rangers
were turning the puck over like the Pens used to. Yeah,
in their own end. The Pen's had a lot of
chances last night generated and because of that.
Speaker 13 (24:36):
We talked a little bit about this last hour, but
I think it's worth diving into again. The Penguins don't
have the star power to take over games anymore. They
don't have the star power to compensate for lapses in
judgment or being out to lunch for ten minutes in
a period. They gotta do it the way they have
to do it, or it's not gonna work. It has
(24:57):
no chance to work.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
We'll talk to Mark Madden a little bit more about
that when he joins us in a few minutes. Steelers
and the Browns this Sunday at one o'clock kickoff at
Akroscher Stadium.
Speaker 13 (25:06):
Yeah, Mike Tomlin looking forward to Alex Highsmith, Joey Porter
and Jalen Warren getting back involved.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Tom I'm saying yesterday he's quote really encouraged.
Speaker 13 (25:14):
About those guys prospects regarding Calvin Austin's shoulder and Jalen
Ramsey hamstring. Really encouraged about the potential of those guys.
But we'll take it certainly day to day. Yeah, I
don't think you'll see them. The potential of those guys.
Speaker 14 (25:29):
Jalen Warren, I think you see ye, Dangewell was phenomenal
in Ireland.
Speaker 13 (25:36):
Agree, perception changing, Agree, narrative changing. No need to rush warrenback.
I mean I want to see him play.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
But feel the same about Highsmith, don't you Yep the
way Herbig's plan.
Speaker 13 (25:49):
Although I don't think I don't want to see high
Smith become a backup.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I don't think he's gonna but get all the way well, yeah, also,
you need him to combat the run this week.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
And hey, who knows TJ might go down in the
first quarter. I mean yeah, it's a long season and.
Speaker 14 (26:09):
The deck reshuffles. It just does Who do you think
they bring out on Sunday? Offense or defense? It's a
good question, Uh Town defense, Garrett.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I think we need to teach they want a t J.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Watt.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yeah, TJ Watt jump Jay. Oh yeah, that's what it's
going to be, no.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Doubt, Steelers and the Browns Sunday one o'clock kickoff. It
don't get any better than a one o'clock kickoff for
Steelers Browns on a Sunday, I mean four o'clock. Yeah,
that's what you're going to get with the Bengals and
Joe Flacco, which is you know, he's usually in bed
by then, so you know, maybe advantage Steelers there.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
H is usually in the dark cave by the way.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, yeah, I think the ayahuasca keeps him up later.
It's got caffeine in it.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yeah, yeah, you have to would hurt to Kefinaide.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I still can't believe he's the last guy standing in
the AFC.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well, it's after a month, it's week six, just a
lot of football after eidy bet.
Speaker 13 (27:13):
Before the season, who would be who would your bet
have been for the first guy out? I mean he
would have been the first guy. No, it might have
been Burrow. It might still be the history. Yes, and
they have no offensive line at all. And also they
don't work to protect him. It's not like he's you know,
one step throw.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
You know, he's still looking to make the big play
and leaving himself vulnerable. With Aaron Rodgers, you knew that
they would protect him, so we probably would have said Burrow,
then Rogers.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
And never would have said Rogers is going to be
the last guy standing.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
But in fairness, nobody got injured in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
You know, like they just they just benched the old guy,
traded another one, and you know, so there's only two
guys hurt. It's just a matter of I hope not
time for Aaron Roddy. I hope they keep him protected.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
That has been I think he's gonna protect him.
Speaker 13 (28:03):
But yeah, he's protecting him so well it's coming out quick.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Oh yeah, But that's what I said. If you can
get him through October, it's a win.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
We're getting close to that time right where where we're
going to start assessing the line for real, like this year,
five six games where we're gonna go, okay.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
This might not giving this guy any time.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
This might be it.
Speaker 13 (28:21):
You know, Yeah, run the ball well with extra guys
and don't have the quarterback hold it too.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Look, Mark Madden joined us when we return here on
the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 12 (28:31):
Tyson is safe for highway travel and ready to get
you from here to there. Hey, he's got a reloaded
cut from the DV Morning Show Sports and a Workforce
commercial three hour at three afternoons with Chad Tyson on
dv E.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
If you can't get enough, if you're Pittsburgh Steelers, then
check out the latest podcast from Steelers Nation Radio, a
part of the Steelers Automa.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Pittsburgh Steelers one on two point five DV.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Our next guest here on the Morning Show sponsored by Calusy,
serving the Pittsburgh area for over one hundred and seven years,
from my brother Station one to five nine in the
X doublem, Mark Madden, Good morning, Mark.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
How are you hello again? Everybody?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Well, you know, let's talk about the Penguins first. A
pretty h you know, auspicious debut there for Dan News
and this new Penguin team against former coach Mike Sullivan
in the Garden last night. I didn't see a three
to zero shutout happening in that one, and an impressive
effort from a bunch of young guys and new guys
(29:33):
with the Penguins.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Yeah, kind of nondescript, you know, one nil until the
two empty net goals. But the Penguins played great fundamental hockey.
The Rangers didn't have much room to operate. Shilovs and
goal made twenty five stays, but I very rarely felt
like he was under siege. I think Dan News is
sending out a few messages trying to wipe away the
staleness right away. For example, starting Shilov's and Goland nat
(29:58):
Jari and Shilov's coming through, he didn't just start his
first line in first defensive pair to begin the game.
He put up Malkin Crosby Latang with Brunck and Kendall,
the two kids. And to me, that says, Okay, we're
not going to quite pass the torch, but we are
gonna share it certainly right now. And I thought Sid
(30:20):
despite going pointless, played a great two hundred foot game.
I liked malkin between the two six foot five wingers.
Maybe that's the way to go is he slows down.
Maybe big would help him more than speed would as
far as his linemates go. I just thought it was
a real good night for the Penguins. In a while,
the priority still has to be getting a top five pick.
(30:40):
You're not gonna tank, but that's the direction is probably
gonna ultimately go in. You want to play good initially,
just to keep the buzz of the season, to keep
that youthful energy going, and to sell tickets.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
So do you think the call to not play Jari
was from the head coach or from management.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Of them the head coach? I just I mean, I
think Kyle's going to be more involved with coaching decisions
made by Muse certainly than he was by Sullivan, who
just didn't want to know in that regard. But it
was the right thing to do no matter who made
the decision. I just think Jars has failed them too
many times recently, despite his talent, despite a couple all
(31:19):
star bursts back when where if it's close, you go
with the new guy, you go with the guy who
isn't Jarry.
Speaker 10 (31:25):
Brazo is on pace to score one hundred and sixty
eight goals. Good, that seems like a good trade.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
I'm still not sure who he is, Like, you know,
he played for this team that team. That's good enough
for me. But like I said, the size element with Gino,
who made a great play on that first goal by
kind of twisting through forward with the face off to
get the Braso the pucks. So yeah, I mean, you know,
it's funny we're running into this right now. As we discussed,
(31:55):
there wasn't a ton to discuss. It was that kind
of game. There was nothing to hang your hat on.
But you can't fault anything.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, I mean, we talked to Brian Rust the other
day and I'm interested to see how it plays out
with the way that Muse coaches those you know, the
big three, especially in guys like Brian Rust as opposed
to like, is it a situation where he's really just
focusing on the younger guys and knowing the older guys
will play the style of hockey that he needs for
(32:23):
them to be playing with that younger set intact, or
if it's something where they he really is going to
have to get them to buy into it, like, is
it a struggle for him at all?
Speaker 4 (32:33):
I think it will be if they start losing. I
don't think it was a struggle last night. I'm working
on a call away now for the trib where I'm
talking about how last night I'm watching the game and
I'm seeing how Eric Carlson's playing. I go, Wow, there's
something weird about the way sixty five is playing. And
then I realized he's not up their freelance. He's actually
(32:55):
playing within what the rest of the team benefits from.
He was more systematic that I had ever seen him
play under Sullivan. Now there's just no way that's going
to continue. He's Carlson. But for it to happen for
one night, I think when you get a lot of
kids in the room, yep. I think with the veterans,
they get kind of a do White vibe, they get
(33:15):
kind of a teacher aura going, and I think that's
a real good thing. And I think again, mus tried
to magnify that with his starting lineup.
Speaker 10 (33:24):
Yeah, from the goal out right, uh Mark, because you
got to play good in front of that guy, because
he doesn't have all of the experience that that Jari does.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Certainly.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah, he has some weirdo experience Bill like from experience, Yeah, Heed,
and he backed up the Latvia to the bronze medal
at the World Championships a couple years back. He's like
a national hero in Latvia. And I'm not sure how
much that carries over to the NHL, but if you can,
you know, backstop that country to that accomplishment and they
beat Canada, you're doing something right.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Jerry Jones was finding two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for flipping off the fans.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Do you think it was enough? Doesn't surprise? Uh? You know,
I saw video of it.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
I thought he did a double barrel, but I think
it was only one.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
And he claimed that he was just trying to give
the thumbs up and he put the wrong finger out there.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
We've already gone that.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
You know, who could have gone away with that, Kenny
Pickett with a small hand. Nobody would have noticed it.
I mean, you know, let's not forget people are going
on and on on the on the morning TV sports
shows today about you know, this gigantic vine that's just
butt white money to him. It just doesn't matter to him.
(34:42):
It's it's whether or not he's sacrificing his dignity by
behaving that way as an old man and an NFL owner.
But I think Jerry sacrificed his dignity willingly a long
time ago.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
You know, I wanted or I was kind of looking
at it through the prism of emblema of a societal
sort of dissent that's happening right now. But then I
looked into it and I'm like, oh, actually, NFL owners
have done this for a long time.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
You know, David Tepper's done it twice already.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
He threw drinks on opposing fans at a game from
his luxury box, a literal like let him eat cake,
pouring molten lava out at the you know, at the
pitchfork and torch people. And the owner of the Tennessee
Titans flipped off the fans before as well, Like these
guys have always just been big babies.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah, believe me, what rich, old white dudes do has
nothing to do with societal trends. Far from it.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Oh Like, well, I could not disagree with you more
on that one. But that's a larger conversation. It's a
larger conversation. I think that they're kind of. You know,
they are the maestros right now, it'd be hard to
refute that the rich people are calling the shots.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Well, if that's the case, I'll come bad bunnies. The
halftime show at the.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Super Bowl, Well, they're still plenty of time for that
not to happen. And oh, by the way, he's the
biggest pop.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Star in the world.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Oh no, no, I'm not. Hey put it this way.
He's not the guy I would prefer to see. But
you know he's not the guy I would prefer to see.
I have no problem with it at all. I just
wish he I just wish he'd reprise his character from
Happy Gilmore too.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Well, you don't know that he won't. Adam Sandler might
be a part of the halftime show.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Yeah, you know what, whoever has done the halftime show
at any football game, including the Super Bowl, has never
mattered at all to me. Although I will say that
I think the two biggest halftime acts at the Super
Bowl were up with people and the dog catching a frisbee.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Yeah, those are the early days.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
What about the Stones in Detroit.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Dog frisbee? Bill thick about it?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Well, to be fair, Keith Richards could not catch the frisbee.
They tried his mouth the frisbee, his arm flies off
with it.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Get a new one.
Speaker 10 (37:00):
Conversely, Mick always looks like he's about to catch a
frisbee in his mouth.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
He looks like a basset hound.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
Yeah, how about did you see mixed statement? He said
he's had enough with people hating people and he's willing
to fight anybody. In pretty much those words, Mick Jagger
said that. Yeah, yeah, go on Twitter, it's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I'm I'm I'm tired of people fighting one another and everybody.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
Meeting one another. I better not ever see it in person.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
Oh okay, well, you know, but the thing is they'll.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Never see it in person because they'll never come.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Down on that Ivory tower.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Yeah, I'm god to make that statement.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, just turn off your social media if you're that rich,
and enjoy the you know, refinement that you have earned
yourself there over seven decades of For sure, Steelers Browns
might be a little tumultuous as well, with the Clevelanders
making the track down. I don't know how uh full
forced they'll be this time because there's probably not a
(37:56):
whole lot of hope. But this is a team that
can beat the Steelers on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
I think there is hope. I think there is enthusiasmic Cleveland,
or at least there should be. They're playing five rookies.
There's room for improvement. I do see improvement. They could
have won that game at Minnesota. I love the rookie
running back. I think Dylan Gabriel showed promise a quarterback
in his NFL debut as a starter at London. So yeah,
I think there's a lot going on there. And while
(38:22):
they are trying to move forward and they can only
move so far forward because they were crippled by that
Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
That's my point.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yeah, yeah, but with Hey, the Steelers are retreating to
the thirties by playing seven offensive linemen. So I mean
where it gets either team, I do not know, but
I know which way is more fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, I mean the Browns are not playing a quarterback.
They had two quarterbacks in the preseason in training camp
that took just about every snap and neither of them
are on the roster right now.
Speaker 4 (38:54):
Well, yeah, nobody ever accused them of great management, but
maybe they, you know, find a loophole. I think he's
a good coach. He's been NFL Coach of the Year twice.
It's just that I think he's been hamstrung by you know,
awful management. And I don't think he wanted to make
that Watson Watson deal by all.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Oh, no, the owners where the Shadoor pick?
Speaker 6 (39:13):
Like, who made that pick? It didn't make any sense.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Well, now that you mentioned it, don't forget. With Flacco
gone to Cincinnati, Shadoor is number two and in play
to get out there on Sunday, and here's.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Hoping, well or Bailey Zappi, who gets activated from the
practice squad, jumps the number two.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
No, I think, boy, that would cause just well, the
excrement storm from Shador being below Bailey Zappi would be
kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Pursuita seems to think that's he called it a no
brainer that you would do that because of Zappi's experience.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Yeah, but their teammate going nowhere anyway, And I really
do think that day and especially the owner wants to
see what Shador could do. So I I if you
made me guess, let's say Shador would be the number
two quarterback. But what about this thing with the Steelers
with the seven offensive lineman. Is anybody else just bored
to death and repulsed by that?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Now with a win, I'm alarmed.
Speaker 10 (40:04):
I mean I want, I want them to try to
do it and give him more than half a second
to throw the ball with five guys like everybody else does.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
No.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
No, I get the intent, Bill, but you know you're
basically benching Firemouth and John U. You know you may
be giving Rogers protection, but you're depriving him of targets.
And that method will never beat a good team in
a big game, never ever beat a good team in
a big game in twenty twenty five. I think seven
(40:33):
offensive lineman is absurd.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
I think they know that. I don't think they plan
on doing this forever. I think these are training wheels.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
You know what. I thought that too, And I hope
you're right. I hope it might be situational, Randy and
specific to like opponent a.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Reason.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
But we'll see. I've been told it might not be.
And we both know the more something works, the more
and them would buy it, not looking at the specifics.
We're talking about.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Mark Madden from my brother Station one to five nine
the X. Thanks Mark, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (41:09):

Speaker 16 (42:20):
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media yesterday for
his weekly press conference ahead of this weekend's upcoming matchup
against the Cleveland Browns, the team's first.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
AFC North matchup of the season.
Speaker 16 (42:29):
When addressing the injuries the Steelers are dealing with, Mike
Tomlin said, the arrow is pointing in the right direction
when it comes to Alex Heismith and Joey Porter Junior's
participation Sunday. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver Calvin Austin
are a different story, however, as Mike Tomlin said, they
will begin the week in a limited capacity. If Calvin
Austin is indeed unable to go Sunday against the Browns,
Coach Tomlin said that his duties will be deputized by
(42:51):
increased workloads for both Scotti Miller and Roman Wilson. Miller,
a seven year vet who has just one target this
year as he still searches for his first.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Reception of the season.
Speaker 16 (43:00):
Once upon a time, played a crucial role in Tampa
Bay's offense, where he put up five hundred yards on
the Bucks twenty.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
Twenty Super Bowl winning team.
Speaker 16 (43:06):
Roman Wilson was the Steelers third round pick in the
twenty twenty four draft, but missed his rookie season due
to injury. It has been a struggle so far this
year for Roman to see the field, as he only
has one catch for seven yards on just two targets.
But the misfortune for Calvin Austin might not being the
opportunity for Roman Wilson.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
To make his splash.

Speaker 5 (00:20):
Smell it well, marinated, blow that racial epithet at me.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (00:24):
I didn't know if you're a dead name and you
or not. I didn't know how you felt about it
naming me.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
NTY commenter will join us in about six or seven minutes.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Abby's got a news update.
Speaker 7 (00:38):
Until then, What's up News this hour brought to you
by Better Call Sides. Let's humid today, clouds and we'll
get some sunshine. It's a high of sixty eight. And
if you miss it. In Bonnie Diver's report, apparently there's
a cow somewhere on seventy nine between Cranberry and Evans
City and state troopers are directing traffic.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Don't hit the cow, don't hit that cap.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Why don't we move it in the road.
Speaker 8 (01:05):
All right, uh.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
North Carolina's previously planned season long documentary with Hulu has
been scrapped, according to a report from Inside Carolina on.
Speaker 9 (01:14):
Tuesday, October the seventh.
Speaker 7 (01:16):
The news comes as the Tar Heels are mired in
a struggle field debut season under Belichick, who has no
previous college coaching experience before accepting the job last December.
The documentary series, which would have offered a behind the
scenes look at the program, was originally announced in August.
Speaker 9 (01:35):
With the typically dower Bill Belichick.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
Saying at the time that he was excited about the opportunity.
The Hulu project was North Carolina's second attempt at turning
Bill Belichick's first season into streaming content. Tarhills were originally
going to be featured on an off season version of
the acclaimed Hard Knock series, but shortly before and all
(02:00):
films in HBO were set to announce the agreement, Belichick's girlfriend,
Jordan Hudson demanded content approval and partial ownership of the
show Balls Amazing and that was according to a report
in May from The New York Times. Shortly after that
request was made, NFL Films, which had a long standing
(02:20):
working relationship with Belichick from his days as an NFL
coach nixed the venture, So everybody's jumping off understandably.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
It is a it's an embarrassment, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Someone commented yesterday like, when is some North Carolina heavy
hitter alumni going to come in and just buy this
guy out of his contract. The only guy I can
think of to do that would be Jordan and I
think their buddies. So I don't think that that's going
to happen.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Nope, He's probably just betting against them every week.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
He's like, why would I get rid of a cash?
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Yeah, this is money for me.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But I don't think anybody thought it was going to
be this bad. I thought he was going to have
a tougher time because of Nil. It would take away
some of his recruiting responsibilities, which I thought he would
just wouldn't do, and they would buy enough players to
make it not embarrassing. But add in the girlfriend factor,
(03:15):
and what a complete disgrace. His behavior has been like
just being led around by the hood by her, and
the embarrassment of the product on the field to boot,
It's just compounded the embarrassment for the university, which was
already kind of catching some flak forgiving him as much
(03:37):
money as they did to come there, thinking like he'll
be our saviors. Like really, I mean, he's in his
seventies and his best days are long behind him.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
At this point, do you think it's blackmail for her? Like,
because she's now damaging his career, Like she's on the field,
he's losing opportunity.
Speaker 9 (04:00):
It is now right, So not only is he proving
to not be.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
A good fit for this football program, but like he's
losing TV deals, he's losing merchandising deals. She's been a
suckubys for him, so.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Like those are her deals though you know what I mean?
I know, but doesn't mean the money. He doesn't care.
Speaker 9 (04:21):
Their relationship is hurting his legacy.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
It's it's an infomercial for the power of the woman.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
It really is that thing you guys got. I don't
know what it is.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
No stop it at some point, like why else he has.
Speaker 10 (04:41):
His best days? She wasn't alive, she wasn't on this earth.
They have nothing to talk about. They've never seen the
same shows.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
They like you like Mannix.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
You know she's into reality.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
He's a football dork.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Did you ever see the rifleman.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I mean, I don't like smoke. Well, what is it
if not that?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Dude he's dying with a smile on his face.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
That's what this is.
Speaker 9 (05:05):
I can't. I'm just why die in public, That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Why not go off and die in private? And Nantucket.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I think there is a narcissistic element to him. For
for him in all of this, you know what I mean,
where he just thinks he really is that infallible.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
Maybe yeah, but.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
He's showing his ass and his.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
Boobs little honkers.
Speaker 10 (05:33):
Dude, he got a bigger bra size than your lady,
and you stink at football.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
It's substantial.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
I just keep thinking, again, I understand what you're saying,
And maybe it is that he is the hubris here
is just so massive that he can't see how damaging
it is to his legacy. But I just keep thinking
that She's like, Okay, now if you break up with me,
I am I'm going to tell everybody how we met.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Oh yeah, hookers dot com.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Yeah, because I can't make sense of it anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, I will say this.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The other dumb thing he's done is completely like shut
off his connection to the Patriots legacy. By holding this
grudge against them, he doesn't have something to fall back
on when this inevitably completely collapses underneath him. Oh yeah,
because he could always be like my they love me
in Boston. Now, actually they kind of don't right now.
PFT commenter brought to you by Yingling. How sad are
(06:33):
you that they canceled that Hulu series on this season's
NFL or North Carolina tar Heels football program.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The tar Heels Hard Knocks the Tarnocks.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I am.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I think that we all need to take a step
back here and realize that this is another stunning marketing
move by Jordan. She has now created an insane demand
for whatever program or our company wants to step up
and pay for the next iteration of this documentary. It's
now been canceled twice, and now all we want is
the footage from this because I'm sure it's gonna be compelling, fascinating.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
He's doing a great job.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
This is this is what Bill brought her in for,
is for her for her brain. Okay, And uh, and I.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Hadn't found out the fact that she might own it,
She might own the footage.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
She might have the IP to it.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, you never know. Uh, I'll tell you this, I.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Really want that footage.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We we said on part of my take this morning
that we will we will gladly air this documentary, UH
if we can get our hands on. Because the footage
is out there, anybody wants to leak it to us,
we are we are completely fine with opening up drop
box plank using a secure email address. It's it's not
gonna be a problem if you want to be with
the UH. I gotta see what's going on behind the
(07:50):
scenes here, because it's it sounds like it's a train wreck,
and I want to see every single second of it.
And our good friend Tom Fernelli pointed out that it's
not we can't call it a documentary if it doesn't
If the behind the scenes go well and they decide
to just never air the footage, that's not what a
documentary is. This was they're trying to do a commercial
(08:12):
for North Carolina football. I understand that that's it. I
think a lot of people have completed we've forgotten what
documentaries are. In the last like I don't know, five years,
I feel like it since the Last Dance came out,
which you know, had had some behind the scenes, it
had some bias. But I even feel like the last
dance was like, you know, they showed a lot of
(08:33):
the dirty stuff. They showed a lot of the warts
and all that were going on with Chicago Bulls. But
since then, I feel like every documentary that's come out
has just been somebody with money paying a camera crew
to follow them around to show off how good they are,
and that's that's not We need to just remind people
that that's not what a documentary is. So I want
to see what's going on. I want to know every
(08:54):
single step that Jordan has taken to take this program
and mold it into her own vision. It seems like
just a train wreck of a time in North Carolina.
And I don't know that Bill Belichick's gonna last more
than a year there.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
No, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't know what his buyout is, but it's it's
gonna be substantial. And I just can't think they can
keep taking the hits on this one. I mean, you know,
them showing the student during the broadcast talking about how
depressing the TCU game was and it was what she
failed midterms and this was worse.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, it's like they're actually conspiring with the network, like,
please show how awfully he is. We need to do
whatever we can to get as much support on our
side marshalled against Bill Belichick and Jordan.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, maybe the buyout is I know that Bill's buy out.
He can get out of the construct for like a
million dollars. He can get out easy. I don't know
what North Carolina is going to end up going, but
it might take Michael Jordan's stepping in a different Dan.
So yeah, different Jordan and what we might have a
jordanus Jordan war.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Thing ends up.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
But yeah, it's going to take somebody stepping up and
running a check I think to get him out of it.
And now mac Brown comes out of this looking great.
He's just like playing the politician still in the background.
I hear he's still checking in on the program being like, hey,
you guys, miss me yet.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
How's it going down.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Right?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Mean Matt mac Brown's always going to be great at
the behind the scenes stuff like lad handing and making
sure all the donors are every single thing that Belichick
is good at or is bad at, that's what mac
Brown is good at. I think maybe kind of maybe
the opposite of that with with with Mac and his
football acumen at this point. But things are things are
looking good on the field for you and see either
I don't know if you guys saw the game against
(10:39):
Clemson last week, but you and c had had what
like two weeks to prepare for this, and the very
first play of the game they had an illegal shift
on offense, like it's it's crazy, what's going on in
Chapel Hill. And yeah, but I but I want to
know what.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I want to know all.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
The details behind the scenes. I want to see that footage.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Take a look under the I gotta tell you.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
In the baseball playoffs last night, you know, look, there
was a lot to marvel at, and the Aaron Judge
home run was fantastic and everything, But for me, maybe
the play of the year is in Camerica Park, a
Mariners fan wearing a dump sixty one shirt dump sixty
one here shirt actually caught the sixty first home run
(11:23):
from the big Dumper and it was so unusual that
the Tigers fans around him were applauding, like this is amazing.
And my question to you is he took off that
shirt and he had dump sixty two here underneath it.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
How many shirts do you think he.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Had all right?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
So right with this that I was amazed when I
saw I saw my couch because I saw that guy
in the pregame warm up, like when they were taking
bat in practice. I saw this guy wearing the dump
Here's sixty one shirt. I was like that, that's a
pretty funny shirt. And then to see him out like
that little tiny sea of green out in the outfool
cads the ball just like find him like a magnet
(12:02):
was crazy. And I took a picture of him afterwards,
and I zoomed in, and I know for a fact
that guy was wearing a dump sixty three here shirt
under the sixty two, so he had at least three
shirt song for the game. It would have shocked me
to know that this guy went all the way up
to sixty five, Like this is a man that came prepared.
I want to talk to him and figure out like
(12:24):
what his pre game between, like when he thought enough
was enough for the shirts. But I think it's more
impressive what that guy did last night than what foul
ball guy Zach Campbell does on a night to night
basis the ballhawk that sits snapfield get no runs at
every ballpark because this guy, he was only there for
a cal Rawley home run. He did not he did
not care if anybody if a Rose Arena hit a
(12:46):
home run, he'd be like, I don't want it, not
for me. That guy was there to catch cal Rawley's
sixty first home run, and he did, and the odds
of that happening are just astronomical. So I want to
know more about the guy. They the Mariners, need to
buy tickets for that guy and put him in lep,
center field or just wherever that guy's feeling like, let
his let his thoughts and and and homing instincts dictate
(13:07):
where he gets to sit in the outfield for every game,
and they need to send him out there every single
night for the rest of the playoffs. But because that
was that was absolutely crazy, and I am I'm on records.
I'm not a Yankees fan. I don't like the Yankees.
I enjoy watching the Yankees, cluse it tickles a nice
part of my brain that I used to have for
the Cowboys when when they lose big games in tragic fashion,
(13:28):
and I got to still do but it's it's amplified
to the Yankees. But that Aaron Judge home run.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Was awesome last year.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That was that was the epitome of October baseball. A
guy that has been in a funk for the postseason
throughout most of his career until this year. And he's
been really good this year. But up until now, this
has been the narrative about Aaron Judge that he can't
get it done when.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It matters the most.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
And that home run, going through the night sky, hitting
a mile up on the foul Bowl and completely changing
the game for the Yankees was. It was very cool
to see.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But I've also ninety nine miles an hour inside and
he just turned away and I mean just a crazy
effort from Judge.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
High and tight, turning on it, getting the hands out there.
I made the argument on part of my take to
that home run, while awesome and while fun and cool,
will become a footnote if the Yankees don't win this series,
Like if we look back three years from now, even
though they won this game, and you know what, even
if they do win the series and they get swept
in the ALCS or they lose in the World Series
(14:34):
and Aaron Judge doesn't play well, that home run again,
I think it will be a footnote. At some point,
it feels like do it in the World Series and
then come talk to me that you hear sometimes, but
it is true, Like that's how short our attention spans are.
It was a great home run and it was cool
to see. But let's let's pump the brakes on declaring
this like Aaron Judge is an all time Yankee for
(14:55):
this one moment.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
All right, I have to just go back to the
dumper guy. All right, the shirt he had dump sixty two,
and I'm looking at the picture you posted that it
is zoomed in. It is clear to me. Then not
only did he have a dump sixty three here shirt,
he has a dump sixty four here shirt under that one,
(15:16):
because there is the sixty two shirt is kind of turquoise,
and then you can see underneath there is a green
lining that goes underneath. Okay, and then underneath that there
is an even lighter blue shirt.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I think he's got three and I.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Would not have been surprised if on his chest he
had painted shaved dump sixty five here.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, you know what's right.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
If he had like dump sixty six painted on his
chest and then he catches sixty six, and then he
washes He also brought like hand sanitizer and like a
wet bugs with him, washed that off, and then he
has dump sixties even burned into his body. And he
(16:09):
had different colored shirts too, Like I noticed that the
thumb sixty one was a different shade of like teal
or Awqua blue or whatever. Then the shirt that he
was wearing underneath that he then showed off, so that
I don't know where this guy got his shirts. Where
he needs to get like one shirt guy that he
goes to to get the same color. But this guy
clearly is he's got away with arts and crafts because
(16:31):
they were they were well made shirts, and yeah, the
color scheme on at least like the numbers, the glossy paint,
it was really well done. I just think he needs
to have like the same color shirt. So I'm sure
he'll get some sort of sponsorship or some sort of
custom deal made. Also, I'm sure that if they win
the series, just shirts that say dump here sixty one
(16:53):
the maritals, they'll make some money off those selling those
on the open market.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
I'm a little worried.
Speaker 10 (16:58):
I'm enjoying this experience right out with this guy, but
I am worried about the ken bone effect that you know,
we love this guy. You guys have him on the pod,
we look a little deeper and then we find out
he's into prego porn or like yeah, I don't know,
like some kind of breastfeeding videos.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Get to get milk ye.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well, at this point, I feel like it it would
be like a breath of pressure if that's all it was.
If they got really a bit yeah, like looking at
at naked women who happen to be pregnant. That's like, okay, yeah,
that's not.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
Bonnie Blue, who also has the same kind of shirts.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I think sixty seven here.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, I think we as a nation would would long
for a guy who that's their worst scandal that they
like looking at naked pregnant women. So I'll be fine
with that. We did try to reach out to him
and figure out to get him on the pod late
night last night, but this guy's doing a media tour already,
and credit to him, he had he had a great
moment last night, So milk gets for Allsworth absolutely.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Kids commenter, I'm sorry we ran out of time because
I really wanted to ask you about Flacco.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh well, yeah, nightmare for you guys staying in the vision.
You guys were watching that trebure like, oh God, I
can we just get him out of our out of
our hair for a while. Yeah, that offensive line might
be a problem for Joe, though, I'm worried about that.
He's not exactly swift on his feet anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
No, I'm sure it'll be fine. It'll be it'll be great.
But we have eighty years worth of quarterbacks. When the
Steelers and the and the Bengals play each other in
uh in ten days.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I mean, I'm just glad that he found a good
home old food homes guys.
Speaker 2 (18:46):

Mike Pursuda with your sports right now on the dB
Morning Show. Mike sports is.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Are brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.
Speaker 13 (19:35):
If you hadn't been paying close attention to the Penguins
training camp, yeah, probably couldn't tell the players without a scorecard.
Last night I wasn't and I couldn't for openers at
Madison Square Garden. But pretty good first step taken by
the new head coach, Dan Muse and the new the
new look Penguins three to nothing over the Rangers. You
(19:56):
have to think back to last year they opened to
Madison Square Garden, they got beat six nothing. And this
is better Sunday one three nothing. This is appreciably better. Couples.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
So Sullivan's zero to two and MSG to open the season.
Speaker 10 (20:09):
Yes, all we needed to beat the Rangers was for
Sullivan to be the coach.
Speaker 13 (20:15):
Played the wrong way. Some significant statistical developments evident last night.
Sidney Crosby starts his nineteenth season as the Penguins captain.
That ties Steve Eiserman as the longest tenured captain in
NHL histor Il his idol Crosby, along with Malkin and
(20:36):
Latang have now played together in twenty consecutive seasons. It's ridiculous,
longest of any trio in North American sports.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Not insignificant, not insignificant.
Speaker 13 (20:48):
Thirteen of the twenty players who dressed in that opener
last year did not dress last night. Someonem aren't on
the team anymore. Penn's have five rookies on the roster
for the first time since two thousand and three. Two
thousand and four, they had four rookies in the lineup
last night, and seven guys made their Penguin's debuts, including
(21:09):
the goaltender archers Sevass, who this to me is the
headliner generating development.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
That they played this kid over Jari. I agree.
Speaker 13 (21:21):
Apparently they're thun screwing around in goal. They are waiting
on the Russian kid sort of game. Mirosov. Yeah, why
are they just because what's the point? Don't want to rush? Yeah,
I want to make sure he's ready when he gets here.
But everything you hear coming out of the organization is.
He's the guy. He's the guy down the road for
a long time.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
He's Yeah, it's a good point.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
How happy you think Mike Sullivan is to have Connor
Sherry back on his team just we can say his.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Name, Connor Sherry played the Cherry way.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
I think he's happy to baby. I remember you. I
used to play young guys when you were young. I
don't do that anymore, so your to play for me again.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Hopefully he doesn't do the Ricky Henderson thing. I had
a guy like you on a team named Connor Sherry once.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
That I was Connor Cherry.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
He did Connor Sherry at the time.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
That had to really piss off Soulvan.
Speaker 13 (22:14):
I know he said all the right things leading up
to it, and he's a pro, and he wasn't gonna
get into it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh that he dropped it to the Penguins, I don't know, man.
I honestly think that was a win win, and he
would have stayed here and endured it all. But I'm
glad to see him change, bounce somewhere else, and he
he leaves here beloved.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
It's a good break.
Speaker 10 (22:39):
I'm curious to see what Dan Mus' coaching style is
because when we talked to Rusty Mike earlier this week,
he was saying, Oh, we're gonna hear Sully screaming at
the players on the other bench, and we're all gonna
get flashbacks. And I just I'm curious to see what
this guy's demeanor is on the bench.
Speaker 13 (22:58):
Yeah, I am too, and more curious about how they're
going to play.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And just some of the limited research I did.
Speaker 13 (23:07):
Just I haven't been here for a while, but I
was listening to some of the press conferences and reading
up on it. And he's not trying to reinvent the wheel,
damn use. He doesn't have a schematic revelation that nobody
else is doing. They're not going to win it on
the dry erase board. He just wants his guys to compete.
(23:30):
He's not afraid to play the young guys, and he's
not afraid to have the young guys make mistakes relative
to that he has said, quote, it's how they respond
and are we learning? Are you going to find a
way to make up for it? That's what we're looking for.
In other words, don't play scared, you screw up, You
screw up, do something about it next shift And then
(23:50):
once the team is a group to quote, play connected,
be predictable to your teammates.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
In other words, you know, I love.
Speaker 13 (23:58):
That where supposed to be when you're supposed to be there,
the old Dick Labo thing. Develop trust that you are
going to in fact be there and the other guy's going.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
To over there last night what he's supposed to be doing.
Speaker 13 (24:10):
Then the other thing is be really hard to play against,
compete from every person in the lineup. And that's really
what they struggled with, maybe more than anything, as the
Sullivan effectiveness waned over the year. They just stop playing
hard enough.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
You know what's crazy is that last night the Rangers
were turning the puck over like the Pens used to. Yeah,
in their own end. The Pen's had a lot of
chances last night generated and because of that.
Speaker 13 (24:36):
We talked a little bit about this last hour, but
I think it's worth diving into again. The Penguins don't
have the star power to take over games anymore. They
don't have the star power to compensate for lapses in
judgment or being out to lunch for ten minutes in
a period. They gotta do it the way they have
to do it, or it's not gonna work. It has
(24:57):
no chance to work.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
We'll talk to Mark Madden a little bit more about
that when he joins us in a few minutes. Steelers
and the Browns this Sunday at one o'clock kickoff at
Akroscher Stadium.
Speaker 13 (25:06):
Yeah, Mike Tomlin looking forward to Alex Highsmith, Joey Porter
and Jalen Warren getting back involved.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Tom I'm saying yesterday he's quote really encouraged.
Speaker 13 (25:14):
About those guys prospects regarding Calvin Austin's shoulder and Jalen
Ramsey hamstring. Really encouraged about the potential of those guys.
But we'll take it certainly day to day. Yeah, I
don't think you'll see them. The potential of those guys.
Speaker 14 (25:29):
Jalen Warren, I think you see ye, Dangewell was phenomenal
in Ireland.
Speaker 13 (25:36):
Agree, perception changing, Agree, narrative changing. No need to rush warrenback.
I mean I want to see him play.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
But feel the same about Highsmith, don't you Yep the
way Herbig's plan.
Speaker 13 (25:49):
Although I don't think I don't want to see high
Smith become a backup.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I don't think he's gonna but get all the way well, yeah, also,
you need him to combat the run this week.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
And hey, who knows TJ might go down in the
first quarter. I mean yeah, it's a long season and.
Speaker 14 (26:09):
The deck reshuffles. It just does Who do you think
they bring out on Sunday? Offense or defense? It's a
good question, Uh Town defense, Garrett.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I think we need to teach they want a t J.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Watt.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yeah, TJ Watt jump Jay. Oh yeah, that's what it's
going to be, no.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Doubt, Steelers and the Browns Sunday one o'clock kickoff. It
don't get any better than a one o'clock kickoff for
Steelers Browns on a Sunday, I mean four o'clock. Yeah,
that's what you're going to get with the Bengals and
Joe Flacco, which is you know, he's usually in bed
by then, so you know, maybe advantage Steelers there.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
H is usually in the dark cave by the way.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, yeah, I think the ayahuasca keeps him up later.
It's got caffeine in it.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yeah, yeah, you have to would hurt to Kefinaide.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I still can't believe he's the last guy standing in
the AFC.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well, it's after a month, it's week six, just a
lot of football after eidy bet.
Speaker 13 (27:13):
Before the season, who would be who would your bet
have been for the first guy out? I mean he
would have been the first guy. No, it might have
been Burrow. It might still be the history. Yes, and
they have no offensive line at all. And also they
don't work to protect him. It's not like he's you know,
one step throw.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
You know, he's still looking to make the big play
and leaving himself vulnerable. With Aaron Rodgers, you knew that
they would protect him, so we probably would have said Burrow,
then Rogers.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
And never would have said Rogers is going to be
the last guy standing.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
But in fairness, nobody got injured in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
You know, like they just they just benched the old guy,
traded another one, and you know, so there's only two
guys hurt. It's just a matter of I hope not
time for Aaron Roddy. I hope they keep him protected.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
That has been I think he's gonna protect him.
Speaker 13 (28:03):
But yeah, he's protecting him so well it's coming out quick.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Oh yeah, But that's what I said. If you can
get him through October, it's a win.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
We're getting close to that time right where where we're
going to start assessing the line for real, like this year,
five six games where we're gonna go, okay.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
This might not giving this guy any time.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
This might be it.
Speaker 13 (28:21):
You know, Yeah, run the ball well with extra guys
and don't have the quarterback hold it too.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Look, Mark Madden joined us when we return here on
the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 12 (28:31):
Tyson is safe for highway travel and ready to get
you from here to there. Hey, he's got a reloaded

If you can't get enough, if you're Pittsburgh Steelers, then
check out the latest podcast from Steelers Nation Radio, a
part of the Steelers Automa.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Pittsburgh Steelers one on two point five DV.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Our next guest here on the Morning Show sponsored by Calusy,
serving the Pittsburgh area for over one hundred and seven years,
from my brother Station one to five nine in the
X doublem, Mark Madden, Good morning, Mark.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
How are you hello again? Everybody?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Well, you know, let's talk about the Penguins first. A
pretty h you know, auspicious debut there for Dan News
and this new Penguin team against former coach Mike Sullivan
in the Garden last night. I didn't see a three
to zero shutout happening in that one, and an impressive
effort from a bunch of young guys and new guys
(29:33):
with the Penguins.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Yeah, kind of nondescript, you know, one nil until the
two empty net goals. But the Penguins played great fundamental hockey.
The Rangers didn't have much room to operate. Shilovs and
goal made twenty five stays, but I very rarely felt
like he was under siege. I think Dan News is
sending out a few messages trying to wipe away the
staleness right away. For example, starting Shilov's and Goland nat
(29:58):
Jari and Shilov's coming through, he didn't just start his
first line in first defensive pair to begin the game.
He put up Malkin Crosby Latang with Brunck and Kendall,
the two kids. And to me, that says, Okay, we're
not going to quite pass the torch, but we are
gonna share it certainly right now. And I thought Sid
(30:20):
despite going pointless, played a great two hundred foot game.
I liked malkin between the two six foot five wingers.
Maybe that's the way to go is he slows down.
Maybe big would help him more than speed would as
far as his linemates go. I just thought it was
a real good night for the Penguins. In a while,
the priority still has to be getting a top five pick.
(30:40):
You're not gonna tank, but that's the direction is probably
gonna ultimately go in. You want to play good initially,
just to keep the buzz of the season, to keep
that youthful energy going, and to sell tickets.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
So do you think the call to not play Jari
was from the head coach or from management.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Of them the head coach? I just I mean, I
think Kyle's going to be more involved with coaching decisions
made by Muse certainly than he was by Sullivan, who
just didn't want to know in that regard. But it
was the right thing to do no matter who made
the decision. I just think Jars has failed them too
many times recently, despite his talent, despite a couple all
(31:19):
star bursts back when where if it's close, you go
with the new guy, you go with the guy who
isn't Jarry.
Speaker 10 (31:25):
Brazo is on pace to score one hundred and sixty
eight goals. Good, that seems like a good trade.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
I'm still not sure who he is, Like, you know,
he played for this team that team. That's good enough
for me. But like I said, the size element with Gino,
who made a great play on that first goal by
kind of twisting through forward with the face off to
get the Braso the pucks. So yeah, I mean, you know,
it's funny we're running into this right now. As we discussed,
(31:55):
there wasn't a ton to discuss. It was that kind
of game. There was nothing to hang your hat on.
But you can't fault anything.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, I mean, we talked to Brian Rust the other
day and I'm interested to see how it plays out
with the way that Muse coaches those you know, the
big three, especially in guys like Brian Rust as opposed
to like, is it a situation where he's really just
focusing on the younger guys and knowing the older guys
will play the style of hockey that he needs for
(32:23):
them to be playing with that younger set intact, or
if it's something where they he really is going to
have to get them to buy into it, like, is
it a struggle for him at all?
Speaker 4 (32:33):
I think it will be if they start losing. I
don't think it was a struggle last night. I'm working
on a call away now for the trib where I'm
talking about how last night I'm watching the game and
I'm seeing how Eric Carlson's playing. I go, Wow, there's
something weird about the way sixty five is playing. And
then I realized he's not up their freelance. He's actually
(32:55):
playing within what the rest of the team benefits from.
He was more systematic that I had ever seen him
play under Sullivan. Now there's just no way that's going
to continue. He's Carlson. But for it to happen for
one night, I think when you get a lot of
kids in the room, yep. I think with the veterans,
they get kind of a do White vibe, they get
(33:15):
kind of a teacher aura going, and I think that's
a real good thing. And I think again, mus tried
to magnify that with his starting lineup.
Speaker 10 (33:24):
Yeah, from the goal out right, uh Mark, because you
got to play good in front of that guy, because
he doesn't have all of the experience that that Jari does.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Certainly.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah, he has some weirdo experience Bill like from experience, Yeah, Heed,
and he backed up the Latvia to the bronze medal
at the World Championships a couple years back. He's like
a national hero in Latvia. And I'm not sure how
much that carries over to the NHL, but if you can,
you know, backstop that country to that accomplishment and they
beat Canada, you're doing something right.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Jerry Jones was finding two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for flipping off the fans.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Do you think it was enough? Doesn't surprise? Uh? You know,
I saw video of it.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
I thought he did a double barrel, but I think
it was only one.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
And he claimed that he was just trying to give
the thumbs up and he put the wrong finger out there.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
We've already gone that.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
You know, who could have gone away with that, Kenny
Pickett with a small hand. Nobody would have noticed it.
I mean, you know, let's not forget people are going
on and on on the on the morning TV sports
shows today about you know, this gigantic vine that's just
butt white money to him. It just doesn't matter to him.
(34:42):
It's it's whether or not he's sacrificing his dignity by
behaving that way as an old man and an NFL owner.
But I think Jerry sacrificed his dignity willingly a long
time ago.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
You know, I wanted or I was kind of looking
at it through the prism of emblema of a societal
sort of dissent that's happening right now. But then I
looked into it and I'm like, oh, actually, NFL owners
have done this for a long time.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
You know, David Tepper's done it twice already.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
He threw drinks on opposing fans at a game from
his luxury box, a literal like let him eat cake,
pouring molten lava out at the you know, at the
pitchfork and torch people. And the owner of the Tennessee
Titans flipped off the fans before as well, Like these
guys have always just been big babies.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah, believe me, what rich, old white dudes do has
nothing to do with societal trends. Far from it.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Oh Like, well, I could not disagree with you more
on that one. But that's a larger conversation. It's a
larger conversation. I think that they're kind of. You know,
they are the maestros right now, it'd be hard to
refute that the rich people are calling the shots.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Well, if that's the case, I'll come bad bunnies. The
halftime show at the.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Super Bowl, Well, they're still plenty of time for that
not to happen. And oh, by the way, he's the
biggest pop.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Star in the world.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Oh no, no, I'm not. Hey put it this way.
He's not the guy I would prefer to see. But
you know he's not the guy I would prefer to see.
I have no problem with it at all. I just
wish he I just wish he'd reprise his character from
Happy Gilmore too.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Well, you don't know that he won't. Adam Sandler might
be a part of the halftime show.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Yeah, you know what, whoever has done the halftime show
at any football game, including the Super Bowl, has never
mattered at all to me. Although I will say that
I think the two biggest halftime acts at the Super
Bowl were up with people and the dog catching a frisbee.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Yeah, those are the early days.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
What about the Stones in Detroit.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Dog frisbee? Bill thick about it?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Well, to be fair, Keith Richards could not catch the frisbee.
They tried his mouth the frisbee, his arm flies off
with it.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Get a new one.
Speaker 10 (37:00):
Conversely, Mick always looks like he's about to catch a
frisbee in his mouth.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
He looks like a basset hound.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
Yeah, how about did you see mixed statement? He said
he's had enough with people hating people and he's willing
to fight anybody. In pretty much those words, Mick Jagger
said that. Yeah, yeah, go on Twitter, it's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I'm I'm I'm tired of people fighting one another and everybody.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
Meeting one another. I better not ever see it in person.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
Oh okay, well, you know, but the thing is they'll.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Never see it in person because they'll never come.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Down on that Ivory tower.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Yeah, I'm god to make that statement.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, just turn off your social media if you're that rich,
and enjoy the you know, refinement that you have earned
yourself there over seven decades of For sure, Steelers Browns
might be a little tumultuous as well, with the Clevelanders
making the track down. I don't know how uh full
forced they'll be this time because there's probably not a
(37:56):
whole lot of hope. But this is a team that
can beat the Steelers on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
I think there is hope. I think there is enthusiasmic Cleveland,
or at least there should be. They're playing five rookies.
There's room for improvement. I do see improvement. They could
have won that game at Minnesota. I love the rookie
running back. I think Dylan Gabriel showed promise a quarterback
in his NFL debut as a starter at London. So yeah,
I think there's a lot going on there. And while
(38:22):
they are trying to move forward and they can only
move so far forward because they were crippled by that
Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
That's my point.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yeah, yeah, but with Hey, the Steelers are retreating to
the thirties by playing seven offensive linemen. So I mean
where it gets either team, I do not know, but
I know which way is more fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, I mean the Browns are not playing a quarterback.
They had two quarterbacks in the preseason in training camp
that took just about every snap and neither of them
are on the roster right now.
Speaker 4 (38:54):
Well, yeah, nobody ever accused them of great management, but
maybe they, you know, find a loophole. I think he's
a good coach. He's been NFL Coach of the Year twice.
It's just that I think he's been hamstrung by you know,
awful management. And I don't think he wanted to make
that Watson Watson deal by all.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Oh, no, the owners where the Shadoor pick?
Speaker 6 (39:13):
Like, who made that pick? It didn't make any sense.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Well, now that you mentioned it, don't forget. With Flacco
gone to Cincinnati, Shadoor is number two and in play
to get out there on Sunday, and here's.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Hoping, well or Bailey Zappi, who gets activated from the
practice squad, jumps the number two.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
No, I think, boy, that would cause just well, the
excrement storm from Shador being below Bailey Zappi would be
kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Pursuita seems to think that's he called it a no
brainer that you would do that because of Zappi's experience.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Yeah, but their teammate going nowhere anyway, And I really
do think that day and especially the owner wants to
see what Shador could do. So I I if you
made me guess, let's say Shador would be the number
two quarterback. But what about this thing with the Steelers
with the seven offensive lineman. Is anybody else just bored
to death and repulsed by that?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Now with a win, I'm alarmed.
Speaker 10 (40:04):
I mean I want, I want them to try to
do it and give him more than half a second
to throw the ball with five guys like everybody else does.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
No.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
No, I get the intent, Bill, but you know you're
basically benching Firemouth and John U. You know you may
be giving Rogers protection, but you're depriving him of targets.
And that method will never beat a good team in
a big game, never ever beat a good team in
a big game in twenty twenty five. I think seven
(40:33):
offensive lineman is absurd.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
I think they know that. I don't think they plan
on doing this forever. I think these are training wheels.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
You know what. I thought that too, And I hope
you're right. I hope it might be situational, Randy and
specific to like opponent a.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Reason.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
But we'll see. I've been told it might not be.
And we both know the more something works, the more
and them would buy it, not looking at the specifics.
We're talking about.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Mark Madden from my brother Station one to five nine

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media yesterday for
his weekly press conference ahead of this weekend's upcoming matchup
against the Cleveland Browns, the team's first.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
AFC North matchup of the season.
Speaker 16 (42:29):
When addressing the injuries the Steelers are dealing with, Mike
Tomlin said, the arrow is pointing in the right direction
when it comes to Alex Heismith and Joey Porter Junior's
participation Sunday. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver Calvin Austin
are a different story, however, as Mike Tomlin said, they
will begin the week in a limited capacity. If Calvin
Austin is indeed unable to go Sunday against the Browns,
Coach Tomlin said that his duties will be deputized by
(42:51):
increased workloads for both Scotti Miller and Roman Wilson. Miller,
a seven year vet who has just one target this
year as he still searches for his first.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Reception of the season.
Speaker 16 (43:00):

Bay's offense, where he put up five hundred yards on
the Bucks twenty.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
Twenty Super Bowl winning team.
Speaker 16 (43:06):
Roman Wilson was the Steelers third round pick in the
twenty twenty four draft, but missed his rookie season due
to injury. It has been a struggle so far this
year for Roman to see the field, as he only
has one catch for seven yards on just two targets.
But the misfortune for Calvin Austin might not being the
opportunity for Roman Wilson.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
To make his splash.
