This is w DV Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
That's what they call me, the one of the web's
foremost tech experts. Yeah, I appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (00:28):
So I agree right well, because we were talking about
AI and the infiltration of AI into creative endeavors, and
what do you think is the biggest danger that AI
poses for the world of sports?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
All right, So in terms of sports is I think
you know our show, your guys show, at some point,
AI is going to be able to do sports podcasts,
It's going to be able to do radio. I think
Simpsons predicted that back in the nineties with the Cloud
the Congress that have done it again. You guys, you

(01:02):
guys might be a little uh smarter than us. I
would say, I would say that your show is more
intelligent than of my day. And listen, listen, this is
a I'm sitting a very low.

Speaker 6 (01:14):
Bar for you.

Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
Guy PFT commenter, he'll be joining us shortly. Abbey has
a news update for you now, and thanks to the Mayor,
Corey O'Connor for giving us a call on his very
very busy day here on Victory Wednesday. For Corey and Uh.
He named his favorite restaurants and none of the none
of them were red lots knocked.

Speaker 7 (01:37):
Out, knocked that question out of the park, key and
Pamelas to start it all.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
I like that he did breakfast, lunch, dinner too.

Speaker 8 (01:45):
Oh yeah, he hit all the main all the main meals,
HT lot seventeen love.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Love lots of.

Speaker 9 (01:52):
Date, phenomenal.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
I can't believe his kids are down with the frets
and eating muscles and frets.

Speaker 7 (02:02):
In his speech, it was really funny. I was hoping
that he was going to say it. I didn't want
to step on his joke. He was talking about how
he woke up super early yesterday with the kids and
they were so excited they were going to go to
the polling places.

Speaker 9 (02:15):
And somebody asked his son who he's going to.

Speaker 7 (02:18):
Vote for, and he was like, Grandma, not on the ballot,
But that's a hilarious answer.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
I'd gote for Grandma. Yeah, I bet Grandma would be great.
It's the best. Mark Madden nine forty five. Abbey's got
a news update. What's going on?

Speaker 8 (02:34):
News this hour is brought to you by Better Call
Si Son giving way to clouds, windy and showers this afternoon,
a high of sixty two. We're gonna go ahead and
just jump ahead to this one. Tom Brady, of course,
you know him as the legendary quarterback, but he recently
announced that his current dog is actually a clone of
his deceased family dog. It was created using a non

(02:57):
invasive cloning technology. The original dog, Lua, had its blood
collected before passing away in twenty twenty three, and the clone, Juni,
is a pit bull mix. So, while Brady expressed his
love for animals, social media reactions to the news have

(03:18):
been mixed. While some find it heartwarming, others criticize the decision.
The announcement has sparked controversy and raised eyebrows, some of course,
questioning the ethics and implication of cloning your pets.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Well, he's just going to do it with his his partners,
I think from now on, or maybe he's trying to
do it for himself.

Speaker 9 (03:37):
So yes, it kind of looks like a clone himself.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
I think it's weird.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Also, the expectation that you're going to get the same
dog is a real fallacy.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
Yeah, but I know so many pet owners that would
hear this and be like, yeah, no, I want to
do that.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
It doesn't mean you're going to get the same behavior. No,
not at all dog.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
You know, it just feels like pets maitary stuff to me.
I would not mess with it at all.

Speaker 8 (04:02):
No, you're denying yourself also a true life experience.

Speaker 10 (04:08):
You're kind of saying like.

Speaker 8 (04:09):
I liked what I had with this pet, and I,
you know, no other pets, no other personalities, no other experience,
no other no new core memories.

Speaker 10 (04:21):
I will only have this pet again.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
It's like it's it's like the it's.

Speaker 10 (04:26):
Kind of American psycho.

Speaker 8 (04:27):
It's like every morning I have to have the water
this temperature, I will have this meal at this time.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
I think it's very black mirror too though that I
don't think it's healthy to think that you just continue
on with things the way they are and nothing. You'll
never have to grieve and never feel bad, and you
can have some sort of you know, the AI version
of your loved one on your phone for the rest
of your life, and it continues to learn as you
talk to it, and it's a picture of your mom

(04:53):
talking to you or something like that.

Speaker 9 (04:54):
Stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
It starts with your dog and it ends up with
your you know, your spouse.

Speaker 8 (04:58):
Like, it's a weird Suzanne Summer's husband.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yes, he's hammering that thing.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
He is nailing that.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
It's weird, very strange.

Speaker 7 (05:11):
But if you like, just because Tom Brady is a
football player, if you could clone a football player, like
I'm I'm cloning Hines Ward and Troy first, give me,
give me.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
The it might be Michael Keatony multiplicity, and you might
be the one who goes.

Speaker 9 (05:29):
Hey, yeah, Troy. You could really miss with Troy.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah, just you let him out of the box and
he runs as he can into the wall, false right down.

Speaker 9 (05:39):
Keeps falling out.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
You're like, oh god, I got the Paul Troy.

Speaker 9 (05:44):
Paul Troy is scary and they all have boys like this.

Speaker 11 (05:49):
I have the recessive gene.

Speaker 9 (05:51):
But like, if you could clone Lambert, come on.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
He wouldn't be a linebacker though, right would well, I mean,
run straight into a brick wall. He'd probably be in
sidelinebacker these days. But I was gonna say dB.

Speaker 7 (06:05):
But because if you look at Peyton Wilson, like he's
not huge right fast.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
He's wiry, kind of looks like Lambert.

Speaker 9 (06:14):
He has perfect teeth, he's not very Steelers.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
Right yeah, And he's the difference Peyton Wilson, of course,
very very much.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
It loves God and God God was scared.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Of Jack Lambert. Big difference, huge difference. Yes, one is
God fearing. One God feared.

Speaker 9 (06:36):
Yeah. Lambert was the Chuck Norris of football players.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
He really was. He really was. He's still around, man,
I I.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
Know, I guess I'm glad that like people like that,
like when they don't come around, it increases the lore,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (06:56):
Dude, if he showed up to anything, people would go bananas.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
And it's the opposite of what he wants. He wants
no part of that. Oh but you're right. If he
were to walk out at halftime of a Steelers game.

Speaker 7 (07:09):
Ladies and gentlemen, Jack Lambert, well, because there's gonna be
fiftieth anniversary of all the Super Bowls.

Speaker 9 (07:17):
They just did Super Bowl nine last.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
Year, you know, and they're there's gonna be three more
coming up, and he I don't know If he's gonna
show to any.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
Of them, the place will absolutely go crazy.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
It would be so fun to watch. But I don't
think it's happening. I think he's gonna be on his couch.

Speaker 7 (07:39):
Oh yeah, no, he's not coming to anything. But that
that bums me out.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Is he the one of all the sports of like
guys that don't come around anymore?

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Terry not coming around does bother me too. He's so
comp on TV.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
You know why he doesn't feelore No, he feels like
he's America Bumpkin.

Speaker 9 (08:01):
But yeah, that's it. Who else could you point to
from those?

Speaker 5 (08:05):
It's Lambert. It's only Lambert because he's the only one
it's alive who doesn't come around, right, Yeah, so it's
him and only him. He's like the JD. Salinger of linebackers.

Speaker 10 (08:23):
Tom Brady is also an investor in this company.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Well, okay, there you go. So he's not just a client,
but I'm also a member.

Speaker 8 (08:32):
Yeah, I'm almost like wondering if he's like walking around
like the Raiders' locker room, picking up people's cups that they've.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
Been He's like, I gotta clone Max Crosby from one
of his pubes.

Speaker 9 (08:47):
He's the only clonable player we got.

Speaker 11 (08:49):
Yeah, I know, I.

Speaker 8 (08:50):
Think maybe he's just gonna make a like a he'll
clone a team of like terrible players so he can
come out of retirement again and just beat everybody and like.

Speaker 11 (08:58):
Tom Brady's seventy's amazing.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
That's called the Jets.

Speaker 8 (09:03):
YEA, well, I don't know he said that, you know
the statement, which you know is coming from the PR
team of that company, just saying that, you know, he
loves how it's like a non invasive cloning technology through
a simple blood draw, and it gives families who are
losing their beloved pets, and.

Speaker 10 (09:23):
It could even help save endangered species.

Speaker 9 (09:27):
How well, cloning them to clone.

Speaker 8 (09:30):
Them, just clone them, clone them, do you know?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
I mean, don't you get me going out.

Speaker 11 (09:41):
Your remedis right, you can remedy night.

Speaker 7 (09:52):
I mean technically they've already been trying to do that
with some of the species. Like I remember years ago
they were trying to do that with pandas, and they
were like having them watch you know, pornographic films and
putting them together and just get trying to get them.

Speaker 9 (10:06):
To recreate that panda porn BAMBOOTI call.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
Yeah, that's right joining us right now from the Panda
Porn Forum. It is PFT commenter, brought to you by Yingling
make it a Yingling traditional logger of course, PFT from
Pardon My Take and also macrodosing. That's a podcast I'm
a particular fan of. Good to talk with you this morning, PFT.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Good morning, guys. How are you we talking about Tom
Brady's dog.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, Panda porn and Tom Brady's dog.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yes, yeah, pretty pretty cool stuff from Tom. Pretty pretty
normal stuff from Tom.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Excellent work, buddy.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
So that's the way to turn around some of this
public perception that yeah, you know what, instead of an
adopting a dog or even going to a breeder, I
just had them. I had them just dig up my
old dog and then extract its DNA, and now I
have one that's exactly like my old one, except this
one's growing up the household. It's not winning Super Bowls.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
I'm telling you right now.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
My concern is that this is the island of Doctor Moreau,
that the TB twelve is turned into something like.

Speaker 9 (11:11):
That Bronka is next.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, well, dude, no, you're.

Speaker 5 (11:13):
Going to go into the and like into the deepest
recesses of the TV twelve facility and there's gonna be
a dog walking around with Wes Welker's head.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, that's that's a great point. Like, but who amongst
us wouldn't want a dog. It's like half Golden half
Rob Gronkowski.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
That's meaning the same thing, friend of dog. It's just stop.
It's on your leg the entire time.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah, no, I mean it's it's so weird. But this
is an excellent opportunity to study nature versus nurture. Because
I was saying to Hank when he was he was
talking to us about that's a part of my take
that we're going to get to find out a lot
about just how much the winning culture that Tom Brady
had in his home as he was winning Super Bowls
is going to affect the temperament of his dog. Like
this new dog might be a jerk because it's not

(12:01):
growing up in that same type environment where excellence is
not only expected, but it's demanded. And I think I
think we should study the dog. I think that we
should do like a hard docs about the life and
time of this dog and see how it shakes out.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
I think that would be prudent. I have to ask
you did you do something to your hair?

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Pft.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Well, spiritually, I've always been a mullet guy. You guys
know that, but now now the carpet matches the drapes
as they say, I've got uh. Yeah, I did a
little did a little clean up action on the hair.
And I've been thinking about doing this now for like
the last six months. It's been a real real talk
that I've had, and over the weekend I came to

(12:43):
the realization of the epiphany that now is the time
to do the mullet.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
Now.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
Some people have accused me of going through a mental
breakdown after Jade and Daniel's elbow and.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
Backwards.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, we're worried about this.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
I wouldn't I wouldn't say that those people are a
hunt percent wrong, but I'd say that they're probably like
ninety five percent wrong, because this is something I've been
thinking about doing for a while. And if you've had
long hair as a guy, you know that it's it
can be a pain in the butt to deal with
all the time. And I've been rocking it for the
last twelve years or so, thirteen years, and it was
just it was time to do a mullet. So I'm
putting away to the El Camino for the wintertime. But

(13:19):
I'm parking it on my head because now I feel
I'm ready to go for the winter time. It really
was a nice burst of energy. I'm feeling good about it.
I took my first shower with the mullet this morning,
and let me tell you, I've just improved my day
to day efficiency by probably seventy five percent. I got
in and out of the shower in about like five minutes.

(13:40):
And you know, if you got long hair, you understand
that that's that's that's a chore. You got to set
aside some time for that. So I'm feeling more efficient,
I'm feeling more focused, and yeah, I'm just I'm feeling
like I'm living my best life right now. We'll see
how long that lasts, but as of now, I woke
up this morning with no mullet hangover. I feel good
about it. And yeah, it's mostly not about me going

(14:02):
through a mental breakdown because of the washing commanders. But
I would be lying if I said that that probably
doesn't have like a small part in it.

Speaker 7 (14:10):
I don't want to get super personal with you, but
when you said the curtains match, the drapes or the
curtain matches the carpet, or the drapes match the carpet
or whatever.

Speaker 9 (14:18):
You said, Uh, does that mean you have a dullet?

Speaker 6 (14:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (14:27):
I do not. You know, that's a that's an interesting
thing to try. I don't know how I built up.

Speaker 11 (14:32):
I don't know where.

Speaker 9 (14:33):
I don't know how it would.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah. I mean I probably probably the wrong choice of words.
Maybe I should have said, like, now, now the welcome
matt matches the rug like.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
That was that's perfect. Yeah, it don't.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
I am feeling rejuvenated. If anybody out there has been
considering trying a mullet, let me just say, from the
first like eighteen hours of having it, I feel great.
And the thing is, I'm not new to this. I'm
not new to this life. It's not like I'm adopting
somebody else's culture as a costume. I had a mullet
when I was eleven years old. I had one when
I was seventeen, and I loved it back then, and

(15:16):
it's just been it feels like, you know, it feels
like going home again.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
Well, let me I just want to say that. I
know you're saying it's not In response to the Jayden
and Daniels injury. But it is giving off big divorced
mom vibes with a new Bob.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
You know, hey, that's fair, and maybe maybe that's what
it took to push me just right over the edge.
But on Saturday I made the decision, and some of
them might have had to do with I went to
the All Blacks and Ireland rugby game here in Chicago,
which is awesome, and there were a lot of like
New Zealand and European bullets floating around out there, and

(15:52):
I was like, this looks good. But maybe I was
also looking at like six foot five, two hundred and
fifty pound athletic dudes and being like, That's what I'm
going to look like when I cut my mullet. That's
exactly what I'm gonna turn into. But the decision was
made that might have had to That might have been
just a push that I needed.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
So did it make you feel better or worse when
your head coach said, yeah, you know, I shouldn't have
had him in when it was thirty eight to seven
with seven minutes left in the game, all.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Right, So yeah, obviously that was that was a big
mistake that Dan Quinn made and when he said that,
my reaction was, honestly, yes, this is this is actually
what taking accountability looks like. He's admitting it was a
dumb decision, which it was is a terrible decision as
a head coach. But when you say like, hey, I'm
gonna I'm gonna stand up and knowing my mistake, dan

(16:44):
Quinn did say like that was a big mistake on
my part. That's all on me. I screwed that up.
I shouldn't have done that. I'm the reason why this happened.
You hardly ever get that. And I think that dan
Quinn's being truthful when he says that. I think he's
being genuine. And I know that the players love playing
for him. They they will play hard for dan Quinn.
It didn't look like in that first half on Sunday,

(17:04):
but I know that, like across the locker room, anyone
who's ever played for the guy loves him and respects him.
So I'm willing to I'm willing to move forward with
dan Quinn right now despite that huge mistake. And yeah,
it's more about you know, the product that was on
the field even before the injury was just terrible. It
was it was bad, and it was I forget the

(17:27):
exact step, but in that first half, Sam Fernald was perfect.
I think the sixteen for sixteen and four touchdowns, and
I think the last time that that had happened in
an NFL game was Mike Vick on Monday Night against
the Redskins in that National embarrassment of the game where
Albert Haysworth ended up taking a nap on like the
fifteen yard line in the middle of the play. So

(17:49):
it did give me flashback to that. I'm more concerned
about just the product that's on the field because this
is the first time since twenty twenty that a team
has lost three games by twenty one points, which is
that's a shocking sat The league is filled with bad teams,
but apparently that hasn't happened five years back to back
to back blowouts. And then this weekend we get the Lions,

(18:12):
and I got news this way that we might just
go ahead and make it four in a row at
that point, which would be the that would be the
first time to have back to back to back to
back losses by twenty one plus points in two thousand
and two. So think things look bad. That defense is broken.
I put it more. I don't put one hundred percent
of the blame on dan Quinn. I think he's a

(18:34):
part of it. I put most of it on the
defensive coordinator, Joe Witt, for refusing to change anything with
running man coverage with a team that cannot play man coverage.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, and you got to switch right right.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
And then we also have, you know, a personnel issue
where we did we rushed the rebuild last year because
we won a bunch of games, and so then we
kind of went all in with a roster that was
just getting old and slow, and that that kind of
set us back a little bit. So I'd say, like
on the defensive coordinator, on the personnel, and then yeah,

(19:12):
will save the last twenty percent for dan Quinn because
that was a terrible decision keeping Jaden in at that point.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
No question.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
But at least you're not a Jets fan and yesterday
watching that happen, I mean, not a bad return on
the draft stock. But season's over. I just looked up
fire sale tickets for this weekend's game, the Browns at
the Jets. Uh. You can get a ticket on stub
Hub for forty dollars right now.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, God, Bless God, bless the people that are going
to that game. You guys are the actual heroes in
this world. And John Fanta from NBC, formerly a Fox,
the biggiest beast that we all know and love. He's
on today's part of my take. He is going to
be going to that game with his wife, and uh,

(19:56):
the credit should do credit to that. Well, first of all,
she's a very lucky woman. She's married to John Santa,
who I'm sure he's the sweetheart of a guy and
a probably excellent lover. But I think it's gonna be
I think it's gonna be like it's one of those
games that's so bad that it's good. That's what I'm
hoping for. And it's gonna be rainy, and you got
to make the trek out to met Life and it's

(20:18):
that's got to be the most miserable football day possible
that you could draw up. And uh, and I just
want to say to the people that are going to
that game, I salute you. You guys are the real
American heroes and we appreciate your service. Thank you.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
John Fanta looks like he worked at the Charlottesville Men's
warehouse before he got this job.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Hey, listen, don't knock to Charlottesville Men's warehouse. Right, I
got my first job as I used car sales and
with a suit that I purchased at that very warehouse
and Charlotte.

on the DV Morning show Sports.

Speaker 11 (22:39):
That sure brought to you by Bridgeville Platch. You guys
got me going on hardball last hour. You know the
facts of the case are these that he cheated, He
denied co operation with NCAA investigator. Yeah, he was sanctioned.
People were fined and suspended at the University of Michigan
and Central Michigan, and he went running to the Chargers

(23:00):
to avoid further sanction. That's all true, But that said,
this guy coaches tough teams, and the Chargers are a
tough minded team. And to give you an example, that
kind of what the Steelers are walking into Sunday night.
The Chargers are up on the Titans last Sunday twenty
to seventeen. Third quarter there kind of it's a middling

(23:23):
game for them, but they're winning, but they're not putting
them away. Tennessee finally gets a drive together. They get
a first and goal at the eight. They get a
third goal at the one try wildcat smashed, fourth and one.
They try a traditional Tony Pollard run behind a fullback, smashed,
no points for you. Eleven plays, seventy one yards nothing.
Chargers take over at their own one yard line, and

(23:45):
they proceed to drive the ball ninety nine yards in
nine minutes and three seconds, wow, and stick it in
the other end zone.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
And it was actually, well, that's not the only place
they stuck it.

Speaker 11 (23:57):
It was actually one hundred and four yards because they
got a five yard pedalting along the way, so they
gained five of those yards twice, three for three on
third down, nine carries fifty yards rushing on that drive.
And they didn't really run the ball well throughout most
of the day, but they did. Then both of their
tackles were out at that time, and they still just

(24:17):
grabbed the game and strangled it defensively at one goal
line and then all the way to the other end
of the field.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Titans back tore them a little bitter?

Speaker 9 (24:27):
Was that that close of the game?

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Was it twenty seven to twenty?

Speaker 11 (24:30):
Yeah, they got a field goal late. I don't know
what the number was, but the first quarter the Chargers
gave up.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
But it just seems closer than I would have thought
for the Titans. Well, it kind of was.

Speaker 11 (24:41):
But the Chargers gave up a pick six and a
part return for a touchdown in the first quarter. Now,
usually if you give up by the one of those things,
you lose.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, but then they literally only got two field goals
after the way.

Speaker 11 (24:54):
Yeah, tough team. They don't blink. They're not going to rattle.
They're gonna keep coming out. They got some guys that
fly around on defense and like to light you up.
They gave up two hundred and six total net yards.
Tennessee had the ball for twenty five minutes and forty seconds,
one of nine on third down, zero of one on
fourth down. So bring the big boy Pats. Yeah, is doable,

(25:19):
but it's going to leave a mark. Mike Tomlin yesterday
confirmed that Jalen Ramsey will continue to work exclusively at safety.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Ramsey, do you know how to Ramsey?

Speaker 9 (25:32):
Just Ramsey?

Speaker 11 (25:34):
The injury situation, Scotty Miller still dealing with his finger.
Tomlin's approach there, we'll see, as it is with Cole Holcomb,
who's still dealing with illness. Isaac Samlo, according to Tomlin
his quote, still nursing a peck like he was managing
at the early portions of last week and he was
able to function for us. So by him telling us that,

(25:55):
does that mean he thinks it's going to go the
same way this week?

Speaker 5 (25:57):
Well I take that as hopeful, because hey, that's the
situation he was in last week and we got three
quarters out of him.

Speaker 11 (26:05):
So I wouldn't think that's the type of injury that
can't get worse.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
Are you kidding me? You can tear a completed Yeah,
I mean yeah, for the season. Very easy on that.

Speaker 11 (26:13):
I don't know how long they're going to get away
with this, but they need him.

Speaker 9 (26:18):
Bill Strong is your teeth.

Speaker 11 (26:23):
Big news for the Penguins yesterday.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
I got NonStop like electorals, just moving non stop the.

Speaker 9 (26:32):
Red light and motor boat it all week.

Speaker 11 (26:38):
Noel charge, Justin Brazol and Tristan Jari aren't on the
injured reserve list. Danton Hinen, Ryan Graves and goaltender Surge
mirrorshov up from wilkes Bury Scranton back from the Graves
mirrorschof gets here as the HL goaltender of the month.
He was five and one with a one point six

(26:58):
to eight goals against the nine three five safe percentage
in October for his HL career seventeen and five two
point three six point nine to one eight in twenty
three career. Ahl Games a twenty one former fourth round
pick in twenty twenty two. He is the future of
Penguin's goaltending and now he's here, it's pretty cool. And

(27:20):
I don't know how long he's gonna be here, but
he's gonna have to play at least a little bit
while he's here, unless they have arthurs. She loves play
all the time. And I don't think they're gonna do that.

Speaker 9 (27:29):
So now they seem to be going with a platoon
type approach.

Speaker 11 (27:34):
Well, Jay Caps are coming in town Thursday. Ovechkin, put
this Russian kid in the net against it against OVI
and see if he craps his Russian pants or not.

Speaker 9 (27:46):
We won't be able to tell.

Speaker 11 (27:48):
Well, but I mean, yeah, you know, I mean that
would be a huge not just making your NHL de view,
but playing against OVI, who I'm sure he idolizes because
they're countrymen. Sure, yeah, that would be a compelling scenario,
would it not?

Speaker 5 (28:03):
I think it definitely, definitely would be. And that's probably
why they called him up the timing.

Speaker 11 (28:09):
You think Jerry slipped on a banana peel or my arm,
my arm. They played the whole game the other night, Well,
I wish you wouldn't have. I wish you would played
two periods. I don't think he got hurt stopping pucks
because that didn't happen a whole hell of.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
A double m Mark Mann's going to join us after
the commercial break, But first, Mike Randall.

Kenny Roth Suberu is announcing your end rate production interest
rates as low.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
As the Our next guest brought to you by Kolisi,
serving the Pittsburgh area for over one hundred and seven
years from my brother station one oh five nine, the
ex double m Mark Madden, Ladies and gentlemen, he Partimar.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
How are everybody?

Speaker 13 (30:00):
You gotta love the fifth or sixth drop pick whatever?
Will Howard was doing? Ads, What a great football time?

Speaker 5 (30:06):
Hey, Brian Saint Pierre got impersonated in this town. Okay,
you can be deep on the on the depth charge, No.

Speaker 13 (30:13):
No, I was being serious as a heart attack, no question.
I think it's great.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Yeah, it's hilarious.

Speaker 9 (30:18):
The kid's a superstar man.

Speaker 7 (30:20):
People are lined up to get his autographs at Children's
Hospital like he's a celebrity.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Cheering.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
Yeah all right, So Mark, I think I know how
you're going to take this question and run with it.
But I am wondering, what does the Steelers standing pat
on the trade deadline suggests to you, well, it suggests.

Speaker 13 (30:47):
To me they think they're good enough, and they better
be right. If they're good enough standing pat then go
beat La. If you're good enough standing, pat Win the
AFC North. If you're good enough standing pat win.

Speaker 6 (30:58):
A playoff game.

Speaker 13 (31:00):
But if it turns out you weren't, then somebody has
some splaining to do. Except nobody down there, ever, has
some splaining to do, And that is the biggest part
of the problem. They had this team full of senior
citizens that supposedly all in, and yet four teams that
are going to be in the AFC playoffs or at
least in the hunt right now, all went out and

(31:22):
made themselves better, some significantly so, like Indianapolis getting Sauce
Gardner and Jacksonville getting Jakobe Myers, the receiver who the
Steelers very easily should have matched or better that offer
and got. They lack of number two receiver, and if
dk Metcalf gets hurt, their season is one dead in
the water. So they can do what they want, and

(31:45):
they always haven't, always will, but they better be right.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
Mark, you suggested that it was possible they didn't want
to give up any draft capital because they want to
build up for the big pick.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Next year in the hometown draft.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
When the NFL Draft is held here in Pittsburgh next year,
do you really think, in your heart of hearts that
the Steelers would do something that would appeal to the
entertainment aspect of the draft rather than the best interests
of the organization.

Speaker 13 (32:15):
Dan would absolutely, excuse me, Dan would not, mister Rooney,
no way.

Speaker 6 (32:22):
Art would for sure. Absolutely. They work so hard to
get this draft.

Speaker 13 (32:27):
They want that big pop when they stand at the
podium in the first round and all the rounds after
that too. Just I don't know the Steelers. They're not
serious people. They just do stuff that don't make no sense,
and people buy it because they're the Steelers and that's
the brand, and certainly people in this time love them.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
But it makes no sense to have a team.

Speaker 13 (32:50):
For old guys with which you're all in and talk
about building through the draft. Let's say they do get
their number one quarterback, their future guy in the next draft.
The next time many years when all these old guys
phase out, the Steelers are not gonna have a lot
to work with, not gonna have very high hopes at
the best they can do enough to remain stuck in
the mushy middle. They never build a peak anymore, and

(33:13):
they used to be pretty good at that. An I
contrast what happened with the non action of yesterday Randall
to twenty nineteen when Ben popped his elbow in the
second game and they were zero and two.

Speaker 6 (33:25):
That season is flushed, period, and they knew it.

Speaker 13 (33:30):
They know they're not gonna win playoff games with Duck
Hodges and Mason Rudolph.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
They know that.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
Everybody knows that. But yet they go out and.

Speaker 13 (33:36):
Get micka Fitzpatrick for a first round pick and salvage
eight and eight and keep that Tom win streak alive,
which is really the Ben streak, by the way, And
it makes you wonder about their priorities that.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
They made that move in and won't.

Speaker 13 (33:49):
Make a similar move now. And people said back then, well,
micka Fitzpatrick's twenty three.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
He's gonna be here for a while. And he was,
and he.

Speaker 13 (33:57):
Made First team All per three times, never won a
playoff game, but for a while he was a very
good player. You could say the same about Indie trading
two first round picks for Sauce Gardner, who's one of
the best three cornerbacks in football. They don't have a
first ground pick next year, but if their first ground
pick is like Sauce Gardner, that's a pretty good pick.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
Same with the first ground pick the year after that.

Speaker 13 (34:18):
But Steeler Bean said, no, you can't give up two
first round picks for Sauce.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
Well why not. You gave up a first round pick
for Mika and you all loved it.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Then, okay, switching to the Penguin.

Speaker 13 (34:29):
One last note, Randall, if the Steelers would have done
what was right and tanks in twenty nineteen with no Ben,
maybe they have justin Herbert right now.

Speaker 5 (34:38):
No, yeah, no question. I think that we're all in
agreement on that one. Although he might see te his
way out of it. He's like the Cam'scataboo of quarterbacks
at this point. You know then, dude, he's being a
little reckless.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
Yeah, and you know what's funny.

Speaker 13 (34:50):
He's the he's the one cornerback that can run that
nobody talks about that he can run.

Speaker 6 (34:54):
But he's getting the most concussed.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Yes, absolutely. Are you excited for Mushoff coming up here?

Speaker 5 (35:01):
And will he face Ovi when the Penn's host the
Caps tomorrow?

Speaker 13 (35:06):
Well, I call morishoff the Bond villain, and to quote
the great movie Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. I
always said he would come up when it was James
Bond need.

Speaker 6 (35:18):
To know time.

Speaker 13 (35:18):
Well, that arrived a lot earlier than I thought it would,
yet throw him out there against the senior Bond villain
in ovie Tomorrow Night. I don't know if it's good
or bad that he's here. I think it's good that
Jari's not playing, because he was the key ingredient in
blowing that lead to Toronto a couple of nights back.
But is he ready?

Speaker 6 (35:40):
Is now the right time?

Speaker 13 (35:42):
Maybe circumstance dictates, and maybe that'll turn out to be
a good thing. I just don't want him to come
up and get shot full of holes playing behind a
team that right now isn't playing real good.

Speaker 6 (35:51):
Despite the eight two and two star.

Speaker 11 (35:53):
Mark was Jari's injury, similar to the goaltender in the
Great Soccer movie Victory, which allowed Sylvester Stallone to get
into the net and plan the score they were.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
They broke his arm so they could so they could
put the keep the.

Speaker 13 (36:08):
Guy on the roster who had the escape plan in France,
and then they didn't escape anyway, Actually true.

Speaker 8 (36:13):
This is shaping up to be very similar.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
They just put on coats from the people in the
stands and tried to blend in as they all rushed
the field and ran away.

Speaker 13 (36:21):
Yeah. Meanwhile, meanwhile, that really would have happened back when
the Nazis would have just striped the crowd.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
With the machine. They wouldn't.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
Do you remember the name of the German striker who has.

Speaker 11 (36:33):
The baldy kicker.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yes, the Great Bowman.

Speaker 13 (36:38):
Tried it was bow when he was played by Werner Roth,
who was the captain of the New York Cosmos the Pellet.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Team back when Yep, yeah, Pele, I do this this
this gold.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
Did you know that was ad libbed?

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Oh no, really, that's hilarious.

Speaker 13 (36:52):
Pella walking to the chalkboard with Michael Kaye totally ad lid, tremendous,
one of the best scenes in the movie.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Nothing Funnier.

Speaker 5 (36:58):
I love that movie and I I I actually want
to watch it very soon because I have such fondness
for that and I think it was one of John
Houston's last movies.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
But Michael Caine is like, the whole premise is ridiculous
that prisoners of war are fat.

Speaker 14 (37:14):
How was Michael Caine fat as a prisoner of war
number one? Reason number two, how is he playing against
world class Germans when he looks like a guy BArch
you know, bellied up at Archie's.

Speaker 13 (37:27):
Well said he was the captain of west Dam. He
was the out of shape captain of west Ham who
wasn't offering a new contract, but he was new fat.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
That was the whole story.

Speaker 11 (37:34):
I'm thinking, Oh my god, what was his job in
the army working in the kitchen?

Speaker 9 (37:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (37:41):
My my thing was when they had the chance to
escape and didn't yet.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Halftime.

Speaker 6 (37:45):
Yeah, I'd have been the one guy who said, listen,
I'm going. You guys could go back and play I'm going.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
Every time it was halftime of a football game or
anything in my house, someone would always just go hattime halftime.

Speaker 11 (38:00):
That's a really underrated movie.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Though a Sloane doesn't ruin it.

Speaker 5 (38:05):
He could have ruined that movie, but it is I
love that that flicks so much.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Mark.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
By the way, I just want to point out it
looked like you had a great Penguin's watch party at
the Pittsburgh Brewing Company the other night, and it seems
to me that you know this look at this the
outpouring of love you receive from the public, that's got
to feel good.

Speaker 6 (38:23):
Well, I'm more popular than ever.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Well that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 13 (38:27):
I mean, Pittsburgh Brewing is kind of a unicorn because
it has the biggest big screen TV ever. And by
the way, for plug time, we're going back there on
December first, when the Penguins visit the old enemy, the Flyers.
But yeah, I don't know what you're getting that here.
Am I supposed to have some kind of gratitude. I mean,
I'm doing these people to favor, not fight first.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
That's a good point. You hadn't thought of it like that.
What was the bubblehead?

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Was my question?

Speaker 6 (38:50):
Sure you did.

Speaker 13 (38:52):
Well, I have all these babbleheads in my basement from
all the years. So I'm doing the bubblehead giveaway bonanza.
I gave away lem you a Crosby Malkin into the
tang and I'll be doing the same next month. You know,
I never underestimate the fascination with bobbleheads, Like.

Speaker 6 (39:09):
Uh, we had.

Speaker 13 (39:10):
What we do is we we list the roster for
game night, and we cut it up and we put
in a hat and we give it two bucks. A shot,
and if your guy scores a goal, you get a bobblehead.
So we had so many we had two uh for
each player, like two Cosbies, two Malkins, et cetera. We
could have done three. That's how many people wanted to
get in. So we had four bobbleheads. The two goals

(39:31):
to begin in the game, Carl Snik Kendall, we gave
him away, and just so people wouldn't leave, I said, okay,
if you if your guy scores, we'll give you a
bobblehead on the first when you come back. But luckily
Kindle scored again and you don't get to win twice,
and we'll see you on the first.

Speaker 6 (39:44):
Everybody.

Speaker 5 (39:45):
Mark Madden brought to you by Calusi, serving the Pittsburgh
area for over one hundred and seven years.

Speaker 3 (39:49):

I don't we Will Howard couldn't draw a watch party,
like guy, dude, gotta.

Speaker 6 (39:57):
Go buy.

Speaker 11 (39:59):
Actually a bit.

Speaker 9 (40:01):
Maybe not for a Penns game.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
No, probably actually no.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
Yeah, if Will Howard said come join me, I mean
Steeler Nation would just what follows is irrelevant. No, it's
like when like when Reggie Jackson gets activated to kill
Enrico Palazzo. You know, Will Howard's like, I'm gonna be here,
Steeler fans will.

Come join me.

Get it direct from the team at Shop dot Steelers
dot com. Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 15 (41:28):
It was a quiet trade deadline for the Steelers yesterday,
as the team elected to not make a move on
a day that saw eight trades happen around the NFL. Instead,
the Steelers made their splash in the trade market one
week ago when they acquired safety Kyle Duggar from the Patriots.
Dugger made his Steelers debut Sunday against the Colts just
a few days after arriving at his new team, and
was able to play in all but one of the
defensive snaps for the Steelers, racking up four total tackles

(41:51):
and being strong in coverage. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin
praised Dougger's ability to jump on a moving train during
his weekly press conference yesterday, while also saying the movie
with Jalen Ramsey to safety is something the team will
continue doing for the time being. Ramsey played at safety
against the Colts on eighty three percent of the Steelers
defensive snaps, which was the first time in his career
that he has played safety more than thirty percent.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Of the snaps in a game. The move for Ramsey.

Speaker 15 (42:13):
Seemed to be as seamless as it could be, and
should only get it smoother as he continues to get
more reps. The same goes for Kyle Dugger, who should
only grow more comfortable in the Steelers defense as time passes.
The Steelers said the practice field today for the first
time this week as they begin to prep for the
Chargers on Sunday Night Football on tom Up from them
with the Steelers Report.
