Speaker 1 (00:20):
Wdd bit's for an ipart radio station guaranteed human.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
There were so many calls yesterday outside of that that
were like little ones that I think had a little reverberating.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Effect when we challenge.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
There's a Flowers catch that I still don't think was
a catch. They challenged the Calvin Austin that they said
wasn't a catch, But if the Flowers one was, I
don't understand why the Calvin Austin third down catch where
he falls out of bounds and the ball moves a
little bit, why that's not a catch?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
The likely one is gonna be brutal, and as Pittsburgh's
we have to feel a little sympathetic for Baltimore. Seven
years ago, it was Jesse James getting told that a
catch is not a catch unless it's caught in the
process of making a catch while catching it. So like
that's right, So we're in the same And my whole
thing is, have have we heard from Jesse James since?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Like where Jesse James evaporated it?
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Like I feel like at this point he's just haunting
Roger Goodell's office at NFL headquarters like he's the Phantom
of the opera. Every time a catch gets overturned, a
chandelier mysteriously falls from the ceiling.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, Jeff Cockle was on with U yesterday there and
just kicking around the whole Isaiah likely situation and what
Ravens fans must be feeling right now. And you saw
from that John Harbaugh Press conversation always pissed.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
He's pissed, and if it was us, we'd be pissed.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Bad role, It's a bad rule, but we benefited from it,
and we won. Our buddy Tad Whistle's hanging out with
us this morning. I mean that, Tad. That Ravens game
was satisfying in many ways, not the least of which
is that beating the Ravens on its own is great,
But somehow watching them pull their hair out over getting
jobbed by the refs is better.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It made as much sweeter to see them get screwed.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
And you know, I know it's you you want to
think about the league and fairness. I felt that way
for a split second, and then I thought, you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
What what comes around goes around.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Yeah, I feel like we already had our bite of
the apple of getting screwed recently, and I'm just glad
to see it happen to Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
We can come together over something. Yeah, And you know.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The best possible situation is if you beat them to
a pulp just because you're better. Really on one level,
it's like, oh, we were just a better team, superior,
but we already know we're not that good now, you
know what I mean. Like we went into that one
six and six. They were six and six. Our six
and six feels more noble than they're like because they
(03:03):
were I'm not kidding, because they were pre season super
Bowl favorites and everybody was talking about how that roster
was built to win super Bowls and and our roster
was not ours. Our roster was built to go to
the early Bird Special, to be at Eaton Park at
five point forty five for dinner.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
That's what, which is kind of late, actually, Rogers says
the doting waitress.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
Scrud.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Baked scrud, dude, I'm sorry, baked scrod sounds bad. It's like,
it's not out here baking my scrud. But watching them
get jobbed and they lost their mind and they're falling
apart and they're pointing fingers at each other because they
think they should have beat the hell out of us.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's that's been kind of nice too. I like that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
I mean they have a franchise quarterback. They have a
Hall of Fame running back who's still in some semblance
of his prime, and a defense with an innumerable amount
of resources in the backfield like their corners and safeties
and Hamilton Huphree.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I was given an Pittsburgh Humphrey. Is it in Humphrey?
Is it Humphreys or a Humphrey.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
We'll never know. It doesn't matter. When we're in the
four one two, it gets an s.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Yeah, it was great and uh, especially with Tony Romo
teasing back and forth like lamar he looks really good.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
No, maybe he looks a little injured.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Maybe, and then waffling between the two depending on why.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Don't know, he looks pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I mean, it's just like Tony Romo having sex is
a funny thought.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Just Tony, I think you should concentrate on what you're
I think I like that way.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
No, no.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Touching the butt feels good, Jim.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Anyways, Charlie Batchell join us. Let's clean it up before
Charlie gets here.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Okay, I can't know we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Jerry Doulac in the eight o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Billy Gardell live from Los Angeles, California, for the entire
nine o'clock hour. You know, Billy was in Pittsburgh a
month ago and had a really serious health situation.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Aphib almost died.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Like literally, if he would have gone on the plane
to go back to Los Angeles instead of checking himself
into a hospital here in Pittsburgh, he might have checked out.
His doctors told him, now, you're gonna need to rest
for a few weeks. Call him down, get your heart
rate back where it's supposed to be. And he said,
got it, and immediately went on a NonStop publicity tour.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I'm like, what are you doing? Call him down? He's like,
gotta make hey way the sun shines cause.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
So of course we're making a wake up at four
forty five am at his time to come on with us.
We are.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yes, Abby's got a news update for you. Now, what's up?
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Is this hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store.
Rather cloudy today it is a high of thirty four
and I am back on my current temperature. So now
We're going to start telling you what the current temperature
is because I feel like you need to know that
you're doing well well because it is sixteen degrees right now.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Wait a minute, were you not doing the current temperature before?
Speaker 7 (06:22):
I wasn't?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
We just guys?
Speaker 8 (06:25):
No, I just thought, you know, everyone knows, everyone knows,
but this is so bad.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's so bad, we need to talk about it degrees.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I came in here feeling like a what I was
telling you, I'm like, I usually handle the weather pretty good.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You're like, it's sixteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I'm like, okay, I feel quite as bad about being like, oh,
my steering wheel is cold?
Speaker 7 (06:45):
How dare it?
Speaker 8 (06:46):
But yes, it was ten when I woke up, so
we're already improved.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
All right, well good, all right.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Paramount has issued a hostile bid for Warner Brothers Discovery,
offering shareholders thirty dollars a share, the same deal they
post before Netflix's bid. Paramount wants to acquire the entire
Warner Brothers Discovery company, including the global network segment. Paramount
criticized the Warner Brothers Netflix deal, stating it exposes shareholders
(07:13):
to regulatory hurdles and a mix of equity and cash.
The Netflix bid is valued at twenty seven seventy five
a share, totaling eighty two billion excluding CNN and Discovery,
while Paramount's proposal is valued at one hundred and eight
billion excluding or including rather debt. President Trump expressed concerns
(07:33):
about the Warner Netflix deals potential market share impacts, suggesting
that it could be a problem. Paramount's decision to take
its offer directly to Warner shareholders could set up a
messy public battle for the future of Warner's coveted assets
like HBO, Harry Potter, and DC Comics.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
So did he have anything to say about the Paramount
hostel takeover? You mean his buddies. He was okay with
his buddies using.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Ten times more Saudi money to buy all of our
entertainment than he was with Netflix buying it. To be clear,
I'm not okay with either of those things happening, because
this is clearly like, uh, this is what ant trust
laws are supposed to be about, as far as I'm concerned,
Because is like Live Nation owning every part of your
concert going experience, from the management of the artists, to
(08:18):
ownership of the venue to being the the booking agent.
And you know that needs to be broken up too,
because we're all getting host And the guy who's in
charge a live nation said in an interview a few
months ago, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
People aren't paying enough for concerts literally said that. Great point.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah really, so imagine what your movie going experience is
going to be. It Not only are you going to
have a you know, dearth of choices. There's not going
to be great you know, variety out there, but accessing
the stuff that we already loved is going to cost you.
(08:56):
Oh did you want to watch the Sopranos? Yeah, well
I see it's on HBO Max and I have HBO Max. Yeah,
but you're gonna have to pay five dollars more per.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Episode now if you want to watch it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I mean, the ways in which they can stick it
to us here are just numerous.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
Or I feel like last year we talked a lot
too about even things like and maybe this is outside
of a particular deal like this, but even when we
wanted to access things like particular NFL games, the way
that they were doing it so ala carte, they're like, oh,
you want.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
To watch that game, Oh, that game's a paid one,
Like that game's different and It just seems like the
more these companies are able to wrap their arms around
every possible entity, we're just gonna get boxed out of
everything because we're always trying to figure out.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
What the best way to go about our entertainment is.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
Like where we have now, Like I have to B
and I have Netflix, and I have Hulu, and I
should I keep cable or should I not? Because anything
I get rid of, I get boxed out of.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Just that one thing I wanted to watch.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That happened to me for a while, and I think
I acquiesced the I I'm pretty sure I have everything now,
Like I have Hulu, but I don't know if I
need it anymore. That's the one I might dump. And
I liked it for a while. But I have Netflix,
and I have Prime, and I have HBO Max. What
else do you need? But you have cable too, I
(10:16):
do because I got to watch the sports that you
know what I mean, that aren't on Amazon Prime or whatever.
HBO Max has some occasionally too, and you know, I
gotta watch the Penguins games. And I heard that sports
Net app is not that great, so I haven't.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
I'm barely using it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, so you're paying for it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I am, but I do use my cable through the app.
I don't use the box anymore. So it feels like
I cut the cord. But I'm still paying like three
hundred dollars a month, which I don't. I really need
to fix that. And every time I try to get
somebody on the phone, it's impossible.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Do you ever try to get someone on the phone
at your cable company?
Speaker 7 (10:53):
No, I'll die before I know that.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
They don't have anybody. Yeah, nobody will answer.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
They're like, have you thought about going online and talking
to where aich bought? So here's what I gotta tell you.
This is what's happening in my cable box right now, because.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
I don't understand it's all happening inside the box.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Yes, there's just a group of people.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
If I set a recording for something, all right, I'll
go in and I'll look at the recordings and it'll
be like, here are all of the things that you've recorded,
and it's recent.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
And it's a bunch of stuff that I have not recorded.
Deal or no Deal?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
What Dancing with the Stars, the Christmas edition, all of
this stuff, Like every just crappy reality show or game
show gets recorded onto my library in my Comcast account,
and I keep hitting them up and being like, hey,
can somebody just am I getting scammed here?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Or is somebody hacked me?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And I can't get anybody on the line to talk
to me about it. I'm not even kidding. I have tried.
They keep like they're like giving vocal prompts. You're like, okay,
well let's try this again. Are you saying that you're
having a problem with internet, cable phone? Let us know
which one we can help you with. And you're like cable,
(12:14):
all right, you said you have a problem with cable.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
They say it's sexy. But then I'm like, if I
ever going to talk to an operator, No, it never happens,
and I'll delete them and I'll go in under the
TV show and be like delete series, like don't ever
put this crap in my library again, And it always
fills up with the app and it's specifically terrible television.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Oh yeah, it's like somebody's e fin with me, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's the stuff I would never watch in a million years,
like Real Housewives, like the Easter special, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Like, I don't they have one. Is it because they're
trying to pump up the numbers.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
I don't know, or it's like a come on, like
they're like, if Randy just sees it, he's gonna give
it a shot.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
That might be he's always wanted to dealer.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
No deal Island Joe Baganello Pittsburgh guy.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Oh well is he doing that?
Speaker 10 (13:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Wait, it was the Howie mandel One. It was the
Howie mandel One. Yeah, okay, class Because it was a
Joe One, I would have been glad, yeah, give it
a shot. Me wrong, I would have been like to
your point about not being able to speak to a person.
A couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
This woman that I know who walks her dogs like
you know, we're like dog walking friends.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Do you know her name? Yeah? Her name is Michelle?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Okay, because you know, in a dog park you wouldn't
know her name, right, you only know the.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Dog's name in the neighborhood. Oy, Michelle, how's it going? Look,
there's Coco. I don't want to know your name. Your
Coco's parent?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Hi, Coco Mama, which she loves. Don't talk to me
like the dog. Sorry, sorry, give her a treat and
move on.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
So she was She's walking down our street and she
had her phone out on speakerphone. But you know, in
the city is common people screaming into their phones. But
I immediately knew what she was doing because she was
screaming real personal. It's a little half Michelle is enjoying
(14:18):
a customer service experience unlike any other.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
You're hoping that's the case. Yeah, because she just real person.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I mean, it could be just a psychological breakdown on
the sidewalks, but no, I'm sure Michelle has it all
together and we've all been there.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Real person the thing you have to do.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's why I appreciate that our bosses have saw fit
to make sure that you, the radio listener, know that
you're listening to real people by putting a little sounder.
I don't know if you guys have heard this yet.
iHeartRadio guaranteed human.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It's like a weird way to say no, AI, Like
they won't you. They got to go the other way around.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
Yeah, it's nice, and they want us to add it
to our email signature. I think I sort of read
an email yesterday that said that too, which is nice.
It's kind of like an existential reminder for me too.
When I think I can't feel anything, I.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
Hear that little sounder and I go, I am here,
but I want.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Him to just put him put a little like something
tailing after that.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Guaranteed human. If you prick them, they bleed, they will
scream if you don't feed the Yeah, guaranteed humans.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Seems a little dystopian that we're likes fog hat. Well,
that's how I say, I've been here so long. If
you would have told me like i'd be working at
a radio station this long playing fog Hat, I'd be like,
people still listen to fog Hat twenty five years from now.
When I first started, I thought we were almost done
(15:58):
with fog Hat. No, nope, we have only scratched.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
The surface as long as we have a heartbeat.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
That's right. Guaranteed human and fog Hat. I like that.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Guaranteed your teeth, fog Hat. Just do that guaranteed fog hat. Well,
people already know that about DVE. Guaranteed fog At. Well, yeah,
it's DV. We know, we know it's coming. That's why
we listen.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
I'm gonna slip that into my email signure if I
get caught. All right, this past Friday. Oh, actually, I
don't know how much time we'll get to spend on
this one.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
I don't know. Do I want to start a new story,
all right?
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Is that Friday, President Trump did announce that to him,
soccer is the real football and that American football needs
to change to something else. He said, we have a
bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football.
But when you think about it, this soccer is football,
There's no question about it. We have to come up
with an another name for the NFL stuff. It doesn't
make sense when you think about it. So he stopped
(17:05):
short of saying that he would force the NFL to
change the name. But naturally, they got people talking about
some new names for the sport.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
So there were some suggestions online.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
Some of them are innoculous, some of them were spell
but one of them was to start calling it grid iron.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I actually don't hate that sounds so tough.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
It was kind of the most popular response.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
It technically is why are we entertaining this insane notion?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
The first.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't know, the National grid Iron League guaranteed, human guaranteed, stupid.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Pig skin was another one.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
That's not gonna that, that's that actually sounds like you'd
get an infection.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
She's a lovely girl, but.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
She has big skin.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
You can buy stuff at the four to get rid
of the big skin.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Tackle football or American football.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
You can tackle in soccer too, though, oh you can't. Well, yeah,
you slide. This one was kind of a joke. DraftKings
Ball love it.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Yeah, it's all for sale. I've got one Dome Scramblers
for a team.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, like the Boston Dome Scramblers. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
I like it too, uh hand egg or egg ball?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Well, look, if you're playing eggball at traffic lights, you're
part of the problem, okay, because you should be paying
attention and I'm honking the horn behind you and you're
just up there playing eggball listening to Gordon.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Amera Ball.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I mean, come on, if yeah or trump ball.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
That one's tongue in cheek.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
But if he was serious about it, I would feel
like he'd put his name on it.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yes, brain slam. It's like ct.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
They need to start leading, yeah, they we need to
start leaning into the things that we like about football
without pretending to be ashamed of them.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I like that. Yeah, why not?
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Other names that were a little silly don't scrambler would
be brain scramblers.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yes, yeah, there you go. I like that simple.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
Kickball, Millionaire fight Club, Uh foots.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I'm into has like a German kind of thing today.
And yardball actually yard ball maybe the best of the bunch.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Like yard ball, but yardball, I'm gonna says baseball.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
It's the ballyard.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Grid Iron is the one that probably comes closest to
the whole esthetic that the NFL shoots were, or that
the sport in general shoots were.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
High school Gridirn. I'm John Fedco guaranteed bought. I'm John Fedco,
part of the singularity Cloudy.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
I have thirty four today currently.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Sixteen years What happened?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
He retired, but he's he does like social media, seeing
the stuff on social media, which I mean as I
remember being a kid and getting real pumped for the
fed COO zone, like so excited.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
The music would kind of have like some kind of
Pavlovian effect.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Oh yeah, it's pretty cool. But you know he used
those words in different situations. You just entered the fed
Co zone door locking sound.
Speaker 11 (20:58):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
No, no, we're not insinuating that he might have like
mass murdered people or anything.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
No. No, he was a great reporter for a long
time who highlighted high school sports in an area of
the country that revers.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
It's it's high school football. And he did for hoops too,
didn't he.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I just kind of remember football all the times. The
biggest skylights. Skylights was great.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
And we love Norway High School.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
The establishing shots of like the the team made like
huge signs written on paper, like team would run through them,
go nights.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yeah, yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
It was and him and DeNardo figured something out that
most people in that profession have to eventually come around to,
which is that they don't pay you enough and you
have to if you want cake, you're gonna have to
become sort of iconic to kids or workplaces so.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
That you go and there. Every time you show up
somewhere there's food.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
So you're like, hey, we're gonna go visit so and
so today and then there's just a buffet for you
and get to go over and yeah, there's always food.
I think that's smart. We had that going on for
a while here. It was great. Yeah, they used to
bring us food. Not anymore, not as much, No, because
there was like an issue with corporate over Maybe we
(22:17):
were being I don't know, like if you wanted to
bring in food, you had to spend money for us
to talk about to the point where you know I
was making earlier. We were like, but they're feeding us, Like,
isn't that enough? I remember the food times. The food
times are over here. You were here with the food times,
but at the old building when I mean tons of
food all the time.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Yeah, yeah, no, take a lap on the third floor,
maybe see what's out there.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
All food times are pretty much over around here. Not
not entirely, it's just not what it used to be.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Abby.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
I feel like.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
Though we could f around and find out if somebody
wanted to drop off food.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
I mean, what would happen.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
We'd get poisoned.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
That's stiff. Yeah, different. Mike's got your sports when we
come back. Pretty dandy Monday night football game there John
Harbaugh crying about the rest and he did get them
to admit they screwed up on the field goal.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
The NFL said, yep, that was our bad.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
That shouldn't have been unnecessary roughness, that should only been
three points instead of the Steelers capitalizing and getting seven.
That would have changed the whole game, no doubt. It's
not just the final score, and it's like, well, the
Steelers won by five point, would have been a lot
different then because they could have kicked the field goal
and gone ahead at one point and maybe they don't
exhaust four downs there not getting into the end zone.
(23:37):
I watched that play with Mark Andrews knocking the ball
away like one hundred times yesterday just to find out,
like just to try and see in real time, would
DeAndre Hopkins have caught that ball, And I'm not so
sure he would have. I actually kind of I'm starting
to think that maybe Joey Porter Junior actually steps in
front of that one. So as much as I thought
(23:58):
that was a touchdown screwed up Andrews, he might have
been the only shot they had to score there.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Oh he's still screwed it up. It just showed the
lack of communication.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
It just, if anything, well, I think communications one issue
that they had there.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But like Lamar was just not throwing the ball with
any arc the whole day, and it was evident on
the James Pierre interception in which he just threw it
right at James Pierre trying to throw it like past
him and that's his cousin. Did you know that James
Pierre is Lamar's cousin.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Really? Yeah, get intercepted by his cousin.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Wow, pretty pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, but things are not so cool in Baltimore and
that makes me glad. The Steelers have to steal themselves
from Monday night football against the Miami Dolphins coming into
Akrosher Stadium. That is an eight point fifteen kickoff here
on your radio, home of the Black and Gold DV.
And wherever you go or whatever you're doing, you're never
too far from your hometown station.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Tims on duty or keeping us going. We are streaming
on all your devices. Just save us. As a priest
said on the free iHeartRadio app from the Bridgeville Appliance
Weather Center, known for exception sports, all right, Mike Christina's
got your sports right now on the DV morning show Mike.
Speaker 12 (25:14):
Sports is Up, brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance. Tough
night for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles at so Far
Stadium last night, Chargers beat the Eagles twenty two to
nineteen in overtime. Jalen Hurts turned the ball over five
times four picks in a fumble, including a pick on
which the Chargers subsequently fumbled it back. Hurtz recovered it
(25:38):
and fumbled it back to the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
That's hilarious. Two turnovers on the same play.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
So let me ask you this, if in overtime he
throws a pick to end it, right, did I I'm not.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
They kicked a field goal? Did he throw a pick
to end it? Was that time?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I'm pretty sure he threw a pick to edit or yeah,
because they scored. They kicked a field goal on their
first possess and at not a touchdown, so Philly got
the ball back.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
And then Jalen Hurts through the pick through a pick,
but the.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Cornerback from the Chargers tried to return the pick instead
of just kneeling and ending the game. If he gets
hit and fumbles there and the Eagles get it back,
I think they have to run it in.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yes, that's what I was gonna ask you. I think yeah,
because they already had one possession.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I don't think they get a second, and they don't
get that get another Okay, I think yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I think I think you're right about that.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
It is funny, though the Eagles are a mess by
the way, three for three on the three and out
on Thursday, including picking the Chargers last night.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Nice job Eagles to get sa Kwon Barkley going.
Speaker 12 (26:45):
Finally, twenty carries for Buck twenty two, including a fifty
two yard touchdown run on a fake toush push and
they got him around the end. See Andrews, Mark Andrews,
And who is that the Kenny Gangwell for you, Well,
people are starting to vary that theme.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Well that's the only way. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's not going to survive this year. I hope not that.
I never say never. With the NFL, they can't officiate it.
It's got to go away.
Speaker 12 (27:17):
The Chargers win is not great news for the Steelers
if you're wondering, can they sneak in as a wildcard
somehow if they don't win the division. The first two
wildcards right now are the Chargers and the Bills, who
are both nine and four and have had to head
victories over the Steelers. Pittsburgh currently at seven and six,
and Houston is the third wild card at eight and five.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Houston looks really good all of a sudden, defensively, Yeah,
but I mean the d is that good?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
You know?
Speaker 3 (27:48):
That might that might be enough.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
Meanwhile, down in Baltimore, John Harball whining about the officiating.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
What else is he gonna do? As much of a Choice.
Speaker 12 (27:59):
Ravens website detailing the Ravens reaction to their loss to
the Steelers yesterday in the three calls that everybody has
been talking about ever since, conference call with Harbaugh and
general manager Eric DaCosta, as well as former NFL referee
Tony Michaehlik, who the Ravens hired this offseason to kind
of be an in house rules analyst. They spoke with
(28:22):
Perry Fuel, the NFL Senior vice president of Officiating Administration, and
Walt Anderson, who used to have that job and is
now a communications lead is on with the NFL.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
According to Harbaugh, the.
Speaker 12 (28:36):
Unnecessary roughness on the Chris Boswell field goal was quote
the wrong call. It should not have been called, And
Harbaugh made sure to add that the league allowed him
to disclose that, you know, you can always stop them.
It's not like they get an automatic touchdown when they
take the fieldball off the board.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
In fact, it happens so often that there's a lot
of people don't take points off the board. Yeah, there
is a that's the thing tried and true adage. I'll
take points off the tail points off the board, So
there is that.
Speaker 12 (29:11):
Harpall also wanted an explanation on the Isaiah likely non
touchdown and the Aaron Rodgers catch of his own batted pass.
He said, quote it's about as clear as mud right now,
and he's not quote comfortable with those explanations. In other words,
they probably told him those were the right calls. This
genet sterret or told the nation during the game and
then us again in great detail yesterday.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yes, you can hate the rule. I hate the rule.
I hate yeah, everybody. It was officiated correctly. It is
not controversial.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I don't think at this point anybody who's being honest
is actually questioning the call so much as they're bitching
about the rule. And one way to look at it too,
with the Isaiah likely touchdown if before he gets that
or no touchdown before he gets that third step, the
ball comes loose. If that were at the fifty yard line,
(30:02):
what would they call that a fumble or an incomplete pass?
Speaker 12 (30:06):
I imagine it would be no catch, no catch, and
Ravens fans would be a okay with that, especially if
the steels recovered exactly, so.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (30:20):
In that case, you're allowed to score on subsequent snaps.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yes, And the Aaron Rodgers one we learned yesterday because
I was a little skeptical about that one. But the
tie goes to the offense. So even if he's battling
a guy for the ball there, he's got his hand
in there and they had it first and he's on
the ground and touchdown offense CASA game. So that's the
rule that he kept saying. He has to survive the ground.
(30:45):
He does not interpretation.
Speaker 12 (30:47):
Was it possessed or was it bouncing around between bodies right,
which would be an entirely different conversation because then if
the guy catches it before it hits the ground, it's
their ball, right, That's not how they saw it. Hardball
also had a little accountability going on. Remember the play
before Lamar Jackson missed Derek Andrews or Mark Andrews. Excuse me,
(31:14):
was that actually intended for Andrews or was supposed to
go to Hopkins. Dereck Henry lost three yards on third
and two, and hartwas said they were in the wrong formation,
they had a communication issue and he should have called timeout.
He thought they'd be okay, they'd get away with it.
I guess he had that little respect for the Steelers
run fifth. We're all screwed up here, But just give
(31:34):
it to Henry anyway. I don't waste the time out.
That three yard loss was significant. I think high Smith
made that playde many he made. And Harball also said
that likely is not coached to catch the ball the
way he caught. He didn't say what he should have
done instead, But he's not supposed to keep holding it
out because.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
There were a lot of people online saying that he
did textbook what you're supposed to do there, keep it
away from the defender.
Speaker 12 (31:59):
And if he brings it in, that's the football move exactly.
Then that takes the third foot out of it. But
also if he brings it in, he's got to maintain possession.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Which he might not because Joey's hand was there, and
which this guy's got a pretty good history.
Speaker 12 (32:11):
Now he's building quite a resume of not finishing touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
He hates the end zone. I mean, if you got
the under I say, it likely is your guy. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
I think when they showed him on the sideline after
that play, he did not look confident at all.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
That would be rule a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
I think he looked like harves are likely likely and
he looked immediately it could be that he was a
snake bit from all the time out the side.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yeah boy he uh most of all looked like it
was not going to be held up. Yeah, you have to,
you have to some confidence and fake it. I always
believe that.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
It's like the they called the Ravens. Every time there
was an incomplete pass, the receiver got up looking for
a PI and I don't think we do that enough.
Whining works, Yeah, it works in the NFL. It's a
bad look, but it works because these guys had no
idea what's going on, and they're like, oh.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Was it?
Speaker 12 (33:01):
Well, there you go, you know, as long as we're
going to dissect every call like it's this a Bruner film.
There was also what I thought was an obvious defensive
pass interference.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
On Marlon Humphrey.
Speaker 12 (33:12):
No, s, come on, it's Pittsburgh on metcalf in the
cour and they didn't call that, and nobody's talking about that.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
I think the Steelers scored on that anyway. Wasn't that
the first Was that not the first drive?
Speaker 12 (33:28):
It was not okay, I don't think i'd have to
look it up, but just I remember the play, and
there's a million calls in the game. Yes, the calls
are the calls. You got to work around them.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, I know, but when it happens to you, you bitch,
that's what you do. You're right, Randy in terms of
freaking out after every call, every missed call, or Mark
Andrews did it a bunch of times. You know, the
reps are human beings at least for now, and you
know you can appeal to there.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
And that's why, uh, you know, John Harbus on this
complain about the ref.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
We're owed one, just so everybody's aware, you get the
next call exactly.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, I haven't thought about bot refs because you know,
Jean Sterotor is the most popular referee figure in the
NFL right now, and I could conceive of a bunch
of gen sterotor bots on the field, fleet of rope.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah, I mean you've seen those exactly.
Speaker 8 (34:24):
If he's the blueprint though, and it's kind of yinser ish.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
I'm in I'm gay with that. Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 12 (34:31):
The robot comes to the middlefield and says yins did
not make the line too.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Gay.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
They should put that like little We should make T

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Fog Hat is the best punchline band name there is.
And they're not bad, No, they're awesome. But that's what
makes it funny.
Speaker 7 (37:24):
It's got enough consonants.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Yeah, I don't know what it is. It fog hat, dude.
People always laugh at fog At telling you.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Right now anyways, the jokes, yeah, it kind of yeah,
it is the equivalent of that. I mean there are
some other ones, like if you're going metal, the band
I always use for a metal joke is Crocus because
there's two k's in some hard K comedy sounds.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Crocus Crocus.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Tino Martino back in the days of Mulletok. That was
his favorite bandic croakish. Yeah, it's just like that's a
stupid band.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
To be way into.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Tino Martino, well he became un ironically like it's they
are mullets. Aers celebrated his his work is done. You
know he did it. That's right, he did it. Now
Cole Holcomb is wearing them. Well he doesn't have it
this year, but you know those people rock and mullets
all the time now on ironically it is no longer
a he discriminated against hairstyle.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Maybe Tino could interview col what happened? Why did you
cut it off? Why are you afraid of the power
of the milot?
Speaker 2 (38:38):
So here's the thing without rehashing twenty year old bits
here on DV, which boy I would like to you know,
the Reck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Anniversary. Took everything in
my power to not play Firebirds and Camaros.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Tino's ode based on that song.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
And had I been as into the Wreck of EDMUNDS
Fitzgerald as I ended up being, I would have never
wrote that song because it's disrespectful to the twenty nine
men and Gordon Lightfoot.
Speaker 8 (39:01):
And it's important to know because don't forget they ring
the bell for Gordon life.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
But right now to twenty nine times and then one
time for Gordo.
Speaker 12 (39:11):
Because they died and he made a career out of it.
So that's pretty respectful.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
The other thing I like about it is he wrote
one like the one lyric in there and he's like,
you know, the the hatch came out, and then the
cook came back on the ship, his fellow, it's been
good to know you. And then the mom or the
wife of the guy who's in charge of the hatches
like hey hey, hey, hey, hey, you're blaming Charlie. It
wasn't his fault that He's like, oh, you're right, I'm
so sorry, And every time he sang it thereafter he
(39:38):
changed that lyric.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
The hatch was totally good. Nothing happened with the hatch,
but the ships take anyway. I'll tell you who is
not responsible.
Speaker 11 (39:55):
Stuff happens, Yeah, stuff happens on the turns out the
lake is a dangerous place and nothing could be done
about it.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
So the miss Tackle.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Segment that I'm failing to get to here, this is
where some of the stories that don't get sponsored. Oh
that's right, exactly, Like why don't they sponsor the miss
tackles segment.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Oh we don't even get to it to you by
Shipbuilders Local.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Here's the three or five. One of the stories we
didn't get to. Patrick Mahomes seems to be wishing Travis
Kelcey a good luck in his retirement.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
I mean every season I've I've had with him these
last few years, I try to cherish because you know,
you never know, he got himself in great shape this year,
and he's played great football, and he'll have the option
to do whatever he wants to do after the season.
But I know one thing is he'll give everything he
has the rest of the season to try to give
(40:54):
us a chance to make a playoff run. We know
the chances are getting lower and lower, but I know
the guys on this team are gonna give everything to
have every opportunity to get.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
That sounds to me kind of like he's like, hey,
you know he's marrying a billionaire guys, he does not
need to get hit in the head over and over
again and work out all year long.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Plus when I throw.
Speaker 12 (41:15):
Them the ball in a critical situation, he just juggles
it until the.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Other guys end up with it. Can I get a
damn interception? For it.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Travis is like, Patty, I want to keep playing, and
He's like, no, no, you know, good luck in your
next life.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Hell of a run. You never know, this could be
it for you. What I am me?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
So, speaking of Mahomes, Chris Collinsworth set a new standard
of slurping on the Sunday Night Game.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Can't help himself, Kenny.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Patrick Mahomes, I need to set the scene for you.
Is not on the field when you hear this next SoundBite.
The Houston offense is on the field and.
Speaker 12 (41:54):
He's reacting to a pass thrown not by Patrick Mahomes
but by the other quarterback who's actually in the game
throwing passes.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Patrick Mahomes when you hear this clip is on the
bench with a huge coat over him, trying to stay warm.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
The Texans complete a pass, and here.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Is Chris Collinsworth's reaction, because the camera shows Patrick Mahomes
warming up on the bench.
Speaker 10 (42:18):
There he is, Patrick Mahomes. You've been through it all, right,
you've seen it all. He probably took a look at
that grow from C. J. Stroud and said, all right,
I've got one of those in me tonight.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
I mean, are you kidding me? He and It wasn't
even a good pass.
Speaker 12 (42:32):
It was a little checkdown that got deflected by a
defender and the ball kind of went end over end
and the guy caught it.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Anyway. Yeah, I got one of those in me tonight,
I hope.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
So the lengths that he goes to, it's absurd also
to service his whole PFF business. It's like a little
it feels uh slimy. Yeah, like they're just too in
bed with that.
Speaker 12 (42:54):
Blatantly obvious that they're just following their own agenda for
their own sake.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
Yeah. Yeah, that's what it feels like.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
By the way, I will applaud the NFL for making
the uprights for doinks, so we get premium Doyke soundage
and nothing more satisfying than a good doink. Here was
noted doink Harrison, Butker doinking his own doink. My. I
(43:27):
mean this sound on that it's really satisfying.
Speaker 7 (43:31):
I don't know why, but well, can you do this
one more time, just real quick? I just want to
hear it.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Why is that so satisfying?
Speaker 7 (43:41):
I don't know. I only make sandwiches for men when
they do the upright.
Speaker 12 (43:49):
Uh Keishawn Nixon from the past.
Speaker 7 (43:53):
I don't know frowned upon him.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Keishawn Nixon uh after he intercept Caleb Wilson to Williams
to end the game against the Bears. For the Packers,
he's interviewed in the locker room, and you know, you
expect him to be like, hey, hard fought game, the
two of us or the you know, the the offense
and the defense.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
We came together. No, no, he is all for one
and all for one. Okay, I do my language, but
you know, I am who I say am. I always
tell myself that, and I'll come on the field and
play like that. But I just a player. I gotta
keep megan on. I do this for me. I do
this for me.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Hey, if he makes those plays, I don't care if
you If you're selfish and you're ending the game, I'm
alright with it.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Sometimes you gotta dig deep and just do it for yourself, for.
Speaker 6 (44:43):
Your own bottom line, your own contract implications.
Speaker 12 (44:47):
Yeah, there was Also it didn't work for this segment
because it's not really audio, it's.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
More of a visual.
Speaker 12 (44:51):
But the Bears actually tried to do a Lambeau leap
in Green Bay and the fans fluck fuck back.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
Yeah, I would never do that. Wouldn't let jump up
on the legs, you know they do that.
Speaker 12 (45:02):
They're like they're pushing these drunk cheesy and Green Bay people.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
They're pushing them first out cheesy. It was tremendous. I
mean that to me though, that whole like, I do
it for me.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
It would be like if Fernando Mendoza after the Big
Ten Championship was just like, oh, glory goes to me.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
I did it all myself.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Oh thank god I did this because God wasn't gonna
do it.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
These a holes weren't going to do anything. It's all
on me. It's they gone for me. You're looking at
the number one overall pick and that's this guy, right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
I didn't realize Jacob, that your quarterback did that a
year ago for Cal He gave basically the.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Same one to nothing at Stanford. Incredible comeback. I mean Stanford,
I'm the one who did it. He's done it all
year after a game.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
He did it at Penn State, he did it at
Oregon big our biggest wins besides the Big Ten Championship game.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
He's just a goofball.
Speaker 12 (46:00):
You could tell Jake's all in because he has researched
the interviews of his trance for a portal quarterback at
his previous school.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
Yeah, because he's so invested in this guy, he's playing
eleven games for him. Yeah, Abby's got your news.
Speaker 8 (46:15):
Next update on the beach ball concert trolling story we.
Speaker 7 (46:19):
Talked about, Yes, how many?
Speaker 3 (46:20):
How many games? Twelve? Thirteen? That's right, twelve in the
regular season.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Thirteen And oh, hey, you earned the right to glote buddy.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
You did it yourself, all you? Charlie Batch, Jerry, do
you like Billy Gardelle? On the way DV.
Speaker 13 (46:36):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by Callie Ante Pizza and Draft Holes, three
time World Pizza champions, and Steelers Pro Shop. Get it
direct from the team at shop dot Steelers dot com.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
Here's Tom Opperman.
Speaker 14 (46:49):
Steelers took over first place in the anc Nors Sunday,
defeating the Ravens twenty seven to twenty two in Baltimore
in a game that the Steelers were outgained and out possessed,
but came up with more plays.
Speaker 3 (46:57):
In the big moments to escape Maryland with a win.
Speaker 14 (47:00):
A couple of those big moments came on the defensive
side of the ball and were authored by cornerback James Pierre,
linebacker Patrick Queen, and outside linebacker Alex Highsmith. James Pierre,
who has been a pleasant surprise for the Steelers this
year at corner, made an impressive one handed interception of
Lamar Jackson in the first half for the game's only turnover,
which the Steelers would convert into three points. Patrick Queen
came up with a huge pass breakup on tight end
(47:21):
Mark Andrews on fourth down with the Ravens at the
Steelers goal line threatening to take the lead late in
the fourth quarter, and he also chipped in seven tackles
while clearly playing through an injury.
Speaker 3 (47:30):
But Alex Heigsmith was perhaps.
Speaker 14 (47:31):
The man of the match for the Steelers on defense,
having seven tackles, three tackles for lost, two quarterback hits,
and the walk off sack of Lamar Jackson to steal
the victory for Pittsburgh. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows
for the Steelers defense, though, as they surrendered over two
hundred yards rushing for the second straight week, and seeing
as the Steelers next opponent, the Miami Dolphins, just ran
for two hundred and thirty nine yards this past Sunday
(47:51):
and that's something the Steelers need to improve. And in
a hurry, I'm Tom Upraman with the Steelers Report.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Great googly move, this one's got hard rob king here
for Callianti Pizza and Draft House by calli Ant's new
wolfy seven
Wdd bit's for an ipart radio station guaranteed human.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
There were so many calls yesterday outside of that that
were like little ones that I think had a little reverberating.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Effect when we challenge.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
There's a Flowers catch that I still don't think was
a catch. They challenged the Calvin Austin that they said
wasn't a catch, But if the Flowers one was, I
don't understand why the Calvin Austin third down catch where
he falls out of bounds and the ball moves a
little bit, why that's not a catch?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
The likely one is gonna be brutal, and as Pittsburgh's
we have to feel a little sympathetic for Baltimore. Seven
years ago, it was Jesse James getting told that a
catch is not a catch unless it's caught in the
process of making a catch while catching it. So like
that's right, So we're in the same And my whole
thing is, have have we heard from Jesse James since?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Like where Jesse James evaporated it?
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Like I feel like at this point he's just haunting
Roger Goodell's office at NFL headquarters like he's the Phantom
of the opera. Every time a catch gets overturned, a
chandelier mysteriously falls from the ceiling.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, Jeff Cockle was on with U yesterday there and
just kicking around the whole Isaiah likely situation and what
Ravens fans must be feeling right now. And you saw
from that John Harbaugh Press conversation always pissed.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
He's pissed, and if it was us, we'd be pissed.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Bad role, It's a bad rule, but we benefited from it,
and we won. Our buddy Tad Whistle's hanging out with
us this morning. I mean that, Tad. That Ravens game
was satisfying in many ways, not the least of which
is that beating the Ravens on its own is great,
But somehow watching them pull their hair out over getting
jobbed by the refs is better.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It made as much sweeter to see them get screwed.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
And you know, I know it's you you want to
think about the league and fairness. I felt that way
for a split second, and then I thought, you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
What what comes around goes around.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Yeah, I feel like we already had our bite of
the apple of getting screwed recently, and I'm just glad
to see it happen to Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
We can come together over something. Yeah, And you know.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The best possible situation is if you beat them to
a pulp just because you're better. Really on one level,
it's like, oh, we were just a better team, superior,
but we already know we're not that good now, you
know what I mean. Like we went into that one
six and six. They were six and six. Our six
and six feels more noble than they're like because they
(03:03):
were I'm not kidding, because they were pre season super
Bowl favorites and everybody was talking about how that roster
was built to win super Bowls and and our roster
was not ours. Our roster was built to go to
the early Bird Special, to be at Eaton Park at
five point forty five for dinner.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
That's what, which is kind of late, actually, Rogers says
the doting waitress.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
Scrud.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Baked scrud, dude, I'm sorry, baked scrod sounds bad. It's like,
it's not out here baking my scrud. But watching them
get jobbed and they lost their mind and they're falling
apart and they're pointing fingers at each other because they
think they should have beat the hell out of us.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's that's been kind of nice too. I like that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
I mean they have a franchise quarterback. They have a
Hall of Fame running back who's still in some semblance
of his prime, and a defense with an innumerable amount
of resources in the backfield like their corners and safeties
and Hamilton Huphree.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I was given an Pittsburgh Humphrey. Is it in Humphrey?
Is it Humphreys or a Humphrey.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
We'll never know. It doesn't matter. When we're in the
four one two, it gets an s.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Yeah, it was great and uh, especially with Tony Romo
teasing back and forth like lamar he looks really good.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
No, maybe he looks a little injured.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Maybe, and then waffling between the two depending on why.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Don't know, he looks pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I mean, it's just like Tony Romo having sex is
a funny thought.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Just Tony, I think you should concentrate on what you're
I think I like that way.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
No, no.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Touching the butt feels good, Jim.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Anyways, Charlie Batchell join us. Let's clean it up before
Charlie gets here.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Okay, I can't know we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Jerry Doulac in the eight o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Billy Gardell live from Los Angeles, California, for the entire
nine o'clock hour. You know, Billy was in Pittsburgh a
month ago and had a really serious health situation.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Aphib almost died.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Like literally, if he would have gone on the plane
to go back to Los Angeles instead of checking himself
into a hospital here in Pittsburgh, he might have checked out.
His doctors told him, now, you're gonna need to rest
for a few weeks. Call him down, get your heart
rate back where it's supposed to be. And he said,
got it, and immediately went on a NonStop publicity tour.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I'm like, what are you doing? Call him down? He's like,
gotta make hey way the sun shines cause.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
So of course we're making a wake up at four
forty five am at his time to come on with us.
We are.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yes, Abby's got a news update for you. Now, what's up?
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Is this hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store.
Rather cloudy today it is a high of thirty four
and I am back on my current temperature. So now
We're going to start telling you what the current temperature
is because I feel like you need to know that
you're doing well well because it is sixteen degrees right now.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Wait a minute, were you not doing the current temperature before?
Speaker 7 (06:22):
I wasn't?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
We just guys?
Speaker 8 (06:25):
No, I just thought, you know, everyone knows, everyone knows,
but this is so bad.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's so bad, we need to talk about it degrees.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I came in here feeling like a what I was
telling you, I'm like, I usually handle the weather pretty good.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You're like, it's sixteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I'm like, okay, I feel quite as bad about being like, oh,
my steering wheel is cold?
Speaker 7 (06:45):
How dare it?
Speaker 8 (06:46):
But yes, it was ten when I woke up, so
we're already improved.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
All right, well good, all right.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Paramount has issued a hostile bid for Warner Brothers Discovery,
offering shareholders thirty dollars a share, the same deal they
post before Netflix's bid. Paramount wants to acquire the entire
Warner Brothers Discovery company, including the global network segment. Paramount
criticized the Warner Brothers Netflix deal, stating it exposes shareholders
(07:13):
to regulatory hurdles and a mix of equity and cash.
The Netflix bid is valued at twenty seven seventy five
a share, totaling eighty two billion excluding CNN and Discovery,
while Paramount's proposal is valued at one hundred and eight
billion excluding or including rather debt. President Trump expressed concerns
(07:33):
about the Warner Netflix deals potential market share impacts, suggesting
that it could be a problem. Paramount's decision to take
its offer directly to Warner shareholders could set up a
messy public battle for the future of Warner's coveted assets
like HBO, Harry Potter, and DC Comics.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
So did he have anything to say about the Paramount
hostel takeover? You mean his buddies. He was okay with
his buddies using.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Ten times more Saudi money to buy all of our
entertainment than he was with Netflix buying it. To be clear,
I'm not okay with either of those things happening, because
this is clearly like, uh, this is what ant trust
laws are supposed to be about, as far as I'm concerned,
Because is like Live Nation owning every part of your
concert going experience, from the management of the artists, to
(08:18):
ownership of the venue to being the the booking agent.
And you know that needs to be broken up too,
because we're all getting host And the guy who's in
charge a live nation said in an interview a few
months ago, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
People aren't paying enough for concerts literally said that. Great point.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah really, so imagine what your movie going experience is
going to be. It Not only are you going to
have a you know, dearth of choices. There's not going
to be great you know, variety out there, but accessing
the stuff that we already loved is going to cost you.
(08:56):
Oh did you want to watch the Sopranos? Yeah, well
I see it's on HBO Max and I have HBO Max. Yeah,
but you're gonna have to pay five dollars more per.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Episode now if you want to watch it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I mean, the ways in which they can stick it
to us here are just numerous.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
Or I feel like last year we talked a lot
too about even things like and maybe this is outside
of a particular deal like this, but even when we
wanted to access things like particular NFL games, the way
that they were doing it so ala carte, they're like, oh,
you want.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
To watch that game, Oh, that game's a paid one,
Like that game's different and It just seems like the
more these companies are able to wrap their arms around
every possible entity, we're just gonna get boxed out of
everything because we're always trying to figure out.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
What the best way to go about our entertainment is.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
Like where we have now, Like I have to B
and I have Netflix, and I have Hulu, and I
should I keep cable or should I not? Because anything
I get rid of, I get boxed out of.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Just that one thing I wanted to watch.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That happened to me for a while, and I think
I acquiesced the I I'm pretty sure I have everything now,
Like I have Hulu, but I don't know if I
need it anymore. That's the one I might dump. And
I liked it for a while. But I have Netflix,
and I have Prime, and I have HBO Max. What
else do you need? But you have cable too, I
(10:16):
do because I got to watch the sports that you
know what I mean, that aren't on Amazon Prime or whatever.
HBO Max has some occasionally too, and you know, I
gotta watch the Penguins games. And I heard that sports
Net app is not that great, so I haven't.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
I'm barely using it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, so you're paying for it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I am, but I do use my cable through the app.
I don't use the box anymore. So it feels like
I cut the cord. But I'm still paying like three
hundred dollars a month, which I don't. I really need
to fix that. And every time I try to get
somebody on the phone, it's impossible.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Do you ever try to get someone on the phone
at your cable company?
Speaker 7 (10:53):
No, I'll die before I know that.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
They don't have anybody. Yeah, nobody will answer.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
They're like, have you thought about going online and talking
to where aich bought? So here's what I gotta tell you.
This is what's happening in my cable box right now, because.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
I don't understand it's all happening inside the box.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Yes, there's just a group of people.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
If I set a recording for something, all right, I'll
go in and I'll look at the recordings and it'll
be like, here are all of the things that you've recorded,
and it's recent.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
And it's a bunch of stuff that I have not recorded.
Deal or no Deal?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
What Dancing with the Stars, the Christmas edition, all of
this stuff, Like every just crappy reality show or game
show gets recorded onto my library in my Comcast account,
and I keep hitting them up and being like, hey,
can somebody just am I getting scammed here?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Or is somebody hacked me?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And I can't get anybody on the line to talk
to me about it. I'm not even kidding. I have tried.
They keep like they're like giving vocal prompts. You're like, okay,
well let's try this again. Are you saying that you're
having a problem with internet, cable phone? Let us know
which one we can help you with. And you're like cable,
(12:14):
all right, you said you have a problem with cable.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
They say it's sexy. But then I'm like, if I
ever going to talk to an operator, No, it never happens,
and I'll delete them and I'll go in under the
TV show and be like delete series, like don't ever
put this crap in my library again, And it always
fills up with the app and it's specifically terrible television.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Oh yeah, it's like somebody's e fin with me, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's the stuff I would never watch in a million years,
like Real Housewives, like the Easter special, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Like, I don't they have one. Is it because they're
trying to pump up the numbers.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
I don't know, or it's like a come on, like
they're like, if Randy just sees it, he's gonna give
it a shot.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
That might be he's always wanted to dealer.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
No deal Island Joe Baganello Pittsburgh guy.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Oh well is he doing that?
Speaker 10 (13:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Wait, it was the Howie mandel One. It was the
Howie mandel One. Yeah, okay, class Because it was a
Joe One, I would have been glad, yeah, give it
a shot. Me wrong, I would have been like to
your point about not being able to speak to a person.
A couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
This woman that I know who walks her dogs like
you know, we're like dog walking friends.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Do you know her name? Yeah? Her name is Michelle?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Okay, because you know, in a dog park you wouldn't
know her name, right, you only know the.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Dog's name in the neighborhood. Oy, Michelle, how's it going? Look,
there's Coco. I don't want to know your name. Your
Coco's parent?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Hi, Coco Mama, which she loves. Don't talk to me
like the dog. Sorry, sorry, give her a treat and
move on.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
So she was She's walking down our street and she
had her phone out on speakerphone. But you know, in
the city is common people screaming into their phones. But
I immediately knew what she was doing because she was
screaming real personal. It's a little half Michelle is enjoying
(14:18):
a customer service experience unlike any other.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
You're hoping that's the case. Yeah, because she just real person.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I mean, it could be just a psychological breakdown on
the sidewalks, but no, I'm sure Michelle has it all
together and we've all been there.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Real person the thing you have to do.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's why I appreciate that our bosses have saw fit
to make sure that you, the radio listener, know that
you're listening to real people by putting a little sounder.
I don't know if you guys have heard this yet.
iHeartRadio guaranteed human.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It's like a weird way to say no, AI, Like
they won't you. They got to go the other way around.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
Yeah, it's nice, and they want us to add it
to our email signature. I think I sort of read
an email yesterday that said that too, which is nice.
It's kind of like an existential reminder for me too.
When I think I can't feel anything, I.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
Hear that little sounder and I go, I am here,
but I want.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Him to just put him put a little like something
tailing after that.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Guaranteed human. If you prick them, they bleed, they will
scream if you don't feed the Yeah, guaranteed humans.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Seems a little dystopian that we're likes fog hat. Well,
that's how I say, I've been here so long. If
you would have told me like i'd be working at
a radio station this long playing fog Hat, I'd be like,
people still listen to fog Hat twenty five years from now.
When I first started, I thought we were almost done
(15:58):
with fog Hat. No, nope, we have only scratched.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
The surface as long as we have a heartbeat.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
That's right. Guaranteed human and fog Hat. I like that.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Guaranteed your teeth, fog Hat. Just do that guaranteed fog hat. Well,
people already know that about DVE. Guaranteed fog At. Well, yeah,
it's DV. We know, we know it's coming. That's why
we listen.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
I'm gonna slip that into my email signure if I
get caught. All right, this past Friday. Oh, actually, I
don't know how much time we'll get to spend on
this one.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
I don't know. Do I want to start a new story,
all right?
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Is that Friday, President Trump did announce that to him,
soccer is the real football and that American football needs
to change to something else. He said, we have a
bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football.
But when you think about it, this soccer is football,
There's no question about it. We have to come up
with an another name for the NFL stuff. It doesn't
make sense when you think about it. So he stopped
(17:05):
short of saying that he would force the NFL to
change the name. But naturally, they got people talking about
some new names for the sport.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
So there were some suggestions online.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
Some of them are innoculous, some of them were spell
but one of them was to start calling it grid iron.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I actually don't hate that sounds so tough.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
It was kind of the most popular response.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
It technically is why are we entertaining this insane notion?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
The first.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't know, the National grid Iron League guaranteed, human guaranteed, stupid.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Pig skin was another one.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
That's not gonna that, that's that actually sounds like you'd
get an infection.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
She's a lovely girl, but.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
She has big skin.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
You can buy stuff at the four to get rid
of the big skin.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Tackle football or American football.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
You can tackle in soccer too, though, oh you can't. Well, yeah,
you slide. This one was kind of a joke. DraftKings
Ball love it.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Yeah, it's all for sale. I've got one Dome Scramblers
for a team.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, like the Boston Dome Scramblers. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
I like it too, uh hand egg or egg ball?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Well, look, if you're playing eggball at traffic lights, you're
part of the problem, okay, because you should be paying
attention and I'm honking the horn behind you and you're
just up there playing eggball listening to Gordon.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Amera Ball.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I mean, come on, if yeah or trump ball.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
That one's tongue in cheek.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
But if he was serious about it, I would feel
like he'd put his name on it.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yes, brain slam. It's like ct.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
They need to start leading, yeah, they we need to
start leaning into the things that we like about football
without pretending to be ashamed of them.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I like that. Yeah, why not?
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Other names that were a little silly don't scrambler would
be brain scramblers.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yes, yeah, there you go. I like that simple.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
Kickball, Millionaire fight Club, Uh foots.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I'm into has like a German kind of thing today.
And yardball actually yard ball maybe the best of the bunch.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Like yard ball, but yardball, I'm gonna says baseball.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
It's the ballyard.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Grid Iron is the one that probably comes closest to
the whole esthetic that the NFL shoots were, or that
the sport in general shoots were.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
High school Gridirn. I'm John Fedco guaranteed bought. I'm John Fedco,
part of the singularity Cloudy.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
I have thirty four today currently.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Sixteen years What happened?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
He retired, but he's he does like social media, seeing
the stuff on social media, which I mean as I
remember being a kid and getting real pumped for the
fed COO zone, like so excited.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
The music would kind of have like some kind of
Pavlovian effect.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Oh yeah, it's pretty cool. But you know he used
those words in different situations. You just entered the fed
Co zone door locking sound.
Speaker 11 (20:58):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
No, no, we're not insinuating that he might have like
mass murdered people or anything.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
No. No, he was a great reporter for a long
time who highlighted high school sports in an area of
the country that revers.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
It's it's high school football. And he did for hoops too,
didn't he.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I just kind of remember football all the times. The
biggest skylights. Skylights was great.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
And we love Norway High School.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
The establishing shots of like the the team made like
huge signs written on paper, like team would run through them,
go nights.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yeah, yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
It was and him and DeNardo figured something out that
most people in that profession have to eventually come around to,
which is that they don't pay you enough and you
have to if you want cake, you're gonna have to
become sort of iconic to kids or workplaces so.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
That you go and there. Every time you show up
somewhere there's food.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
So you're like, hey, we're gonna go visit so and
so today and then there's just a buffet for you
and get to go over and yeah, there's always food.
I think that's smart. We had that going on for
a while here. It was great. Yeah, they used to
bring us food. Not anymore, not as much, No, because
there was like an issue with corporate over Maybe we
(22:17):
were being I don't know, like if you wanted to
bring in food, you had to spend money for us
to talk about to the point where you know I
was making earlier. We were like, but they're feeding us, Like,
isn't that enough? I remember the food times. The food
times are over here. You were here with the food times,
but at the old building when I mean tons of
food all the time.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Yeah, yeah, no, take a lap on the third floor,
maybe see what's out there.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
All food times are pretty much over around here. Not
not entirely, it's just not what it used to be.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Abby.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
I feel like.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
Though we could f around and find out if somebody
wanted to drop off food.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
I mean, what would happen.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
We'd get poisoned.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
That's stiff. Yeah, different. Mike's got your sports when we
come back. Pretty dandy Monday night football game there John
Harbaugh crying about the rest and he did get them
to admit they screwed up on the field goal.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
The NFL said, yep, that was our bad.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
That shouldn't have been unnecessary roughness, that should only been
three points instead of the Steelers capitalizing and getting seven.
That would have changed the whole game, no doubt. It's
not just the final score, and it's like, well, the
Steelers won by five point, would have been a lot
different then because they could have kicked the field goal
and gone ahead at one point and maybe they don't
exhaust four downs there not getting into the end zone.
(23:37):
I watched that play with Mark Andrews knocking the ball
away like one hundred times yesterday just to find out,
like just to try and see in real time, would
DeAndre Hopkins have caught that ball, And I'm not so
sure he would have. I actually kind of I'm starting
to think that maybe Joey Porter Junior actually steps in
front of that one. So as much as I thought
(23:58):
that was a touchdown screwed up Andrews, he might have
been the only shot they had to score there.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Oh he's still screwed it up. It just showed the
lack of communication.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
It just, if anything, well, I think communications one issue
that they had there.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But like Lamar was just not throwing the ball with
any arc the whole day, and it was evident on
the James Pierre interception in which he just threw it
right at James Pierre trying to throw it like past
him and that's his cousin. Did you know that James
Pierre is Lamar's cousin.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Really? Yeah, get intercepted by his cousin.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Wow, pretty pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, but things are not so cool in Baltimore and
that makes me glad. The Steelers have to steal themselves
from Monday night football against the Miami Dolphins coming into
Akrosher Stadium. That is an eight point fifteen kickoff here
on your radio, home of the Black and Gold DV.
And wherever you go or whatever you're doing, you're never
too far from your hometown station.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Tims on duty or keeping us going. We are streaming
on all your devices. Just save us. As a priest
said on the free iHeartRadio app from the Bridgeville Appliance
Weather Center, known for exception sports, all right, Mike Christina's
got your sports right now on the DV morning show Mike.
Speaker 12 (25:14):
Sports is Up, brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance. Tough
night for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles at so Far
Stadium last night, Chargers beat the Eagles twenty two to
nineteen in overtime. Jalen Hurts turned the ball over five
times four picks in a fumble, including a pick on
which the Chargers subsequently fumbled it back. Hurtz recovered it
(25:38):
and fumbled it back to the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
That's hilarious. Two turnovers on the same play.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
So let me ask you this, if in overtime he
throws a pick to end it, right, did I I'm not.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
They kicked a field goal? Did he throw a pick
to end it? Was that time?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I'm pretty sure he threw a pick to edit or yeah,
because they scored. They kicked a field goal on their
first possess and at not a touchdown, so Philly got
the ball back.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
And then Jalen Hurts through the pick through a pick,
but the.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Cornerback from the Chargers tried to return the pick instead
of just kneeling and ending the game. If he gets
hit and fumbles there and the Eagles get it back,
I think they have to run it in.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yes, that's what I was gonna ask you. I think yeah,
because they already had one possession.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I don't think they get a second, and they don't
get that get another Okay, I think yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I think I think you're right about that.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
It is funny, though the Eagles are a mess by
the way, three for three on the three and out
on Thursday, including picking the Chargers last night.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Nice job Eagles to get sa Kwon Barkley going.
Speaker 12 (26:45):
Finally, twenty carries for Buck twenty two, including a fifty
two yard touchdown run on a fake toush push and
they got him around the end. See Andrews, Mark Andrews,
And who is that the Kenny Gangwell for you, Well,
people are starting to vary that theme.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Well that's the only way. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's not going to survive this year. I hope not that.
I never say never. With the NFL, they can't officiate it.
It's got to go away.
Speaker 12 (27:17):
The Chargers win is not great news for the Steelers
if you're wondering, can they sneak in as a wildcard
somehow if they don't win the division. The first two
wildcards right now are the Chargers and the Bills, who
are both nine and four and have had to head
victories over the Steelers. Pittsburgh currently at seven and six,
and Houston is the third wild card at eight and five.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Houston looks really good all of a sudden, defensively, Yeah,
but I mean the d is that good?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
You know?
Speaker 3 (27:48):
That might that might be enough.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
Meanwhile, down in Baltimore, John Harball whining about the officiating.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
What else is he gonna do? As much of a Choice.
Speaker 12 (27:59):
Ravens website detailing the Ravens reaction to their loss to
the Steelers yesterday in the three calls that everybody has
been talking about ever since, conference call with Harbaugh and
general manager Eric DaCosta, as well as former NFL referee
Tony Michaehlik, who the Ravens hired this offseason to kind
of be an in house rules analyst. They spoke with
(28:22):
Perry Fuel, the NFL Senior vice president of Officiating Administration, and
Walt Anderson, who used to have that job and is
now a communications lead is on with the NFL.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
According to Harbaugh, the.
Speaker 12 (28:36):
Unnecessary roughness on the Chris Boswell field goal was quote
the wrong call. It should not have been called, And
Harbaugh made sure to add that the league allowed him
to disclose that, you know, you can always stop them.
It's not like they get an automatic touchdown when they
take the fieldball off the board.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
In fact, it happens so often that there's a lot
of people don't take points off the board. Yeah, there
is a that's the thing tried and true adage. I'll
take points off the tail points off the board, So
there is that.
Speaker 12 (29:11):
Harpall also wanted an explanation on the Isaiah likely non
touchdown and the Aaron Rodgers catch of his own batted pass.
He said, quote it's about as clear as mud right now,
and he's not quote comfortable with those explanations. In other words,
they probably told him those were the right calls. This
genet sterret or told the nation during the game and
then us again in great detail yesterday.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yes, you can hate the rule. I hate the rule.
I hate yeah, everybody. It was officiated correctly. It is
not controversial.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I don't think at this point anybody who's being honest
is actually questioning the call so much as they're bitching
about the rule. And one way to look at it too,
with the Isaiah likely touchdown if before he gets that
or no touchdown before he gets that third step, the
ball comes loose. If that were at the fifty yard line,
(30:02):
what would they call that a fumble or an incomplete pass?
Speaker 12 (30:06):
I imagine it would be no catch, no catch, and
Ravens fans would be a okay with that, especially if
the steels recovered exactly, so.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (30:20):
In that case, you're allowed to score on subsequent snaps.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yes, And the Aaron Rodgers one we learned yesterday because
I was a little skeptical about that one. But the
tie goes to the offense. So even if he's battling
a guy for the ball there, he's got his hand
in there and they had it first and he's on
the ground and touchdown offense CASA game. So that's the
rule that he kept saying. He has to survive the ground.
(30:45):
He does not interpretation.
Speaker 12 (30:47):
Was it possessed or was it bouncing around between bodies right,
which would be an entirely different conversation because then if
the guy catches it before it hits the ground, it's
their ball, right, That's not how they saw it. Hardball
also had a little accountability going on. Remember the play
before Lamar Jackson missed Derek Andrews or Mark Andrews. Excuse me,
(31:14):
was that actually intended for Andrews or was supposed to
go to Hopkins. Dereck Henry lost three yards on third
and two, and hartwas said they were in the wrong formation,
they had a communication issue and he should have called timeout.
He thought they'd be okay, they'd get away with it.
I guess he had that little respect for the Steelers
run fifth. We're all screwed up here, But just give
(31:34):
it to Henry anyway. I don't waste the time out.
That three yard loss was significant. I think high Smith
made that playde many he made. And Harball also said
that likely is not coached to catch the ball the
way he caught. He didn't say what he should have
done instead, But he's not supposed to keep holding it
out because.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
There were a lot of people online saying that he
did textbook what you're supposed to do there, keep it
away from the defender.
Speaker 12 (31:59):
And if he brings it in, that's the football move exactly.
Then that takes the third foot out of it. But
also if he brings it in, he's got to maintain possession.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Which he might not because Joey's hand was there, and
which this guy's got a pretty good history.
Speaker 12 (32:11):
Now he's building quite a resume of not finishing touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
He hates the end zone. I mean, if you got
the under I say, it likely is your guy. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
I think when they showed him on the sideline after
that play, he did not look confident at all.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
That would be rule a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
I think he looked like harves are likely likely and
he looked immediately it could be that he was a
snake bit from all the time out the side.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yeah boy he uh most of all looked like it
was not going to be held up. Yeah, you have to,
you have to some confidence and fake it. I always
believe that.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
It's like the they called the Ravens. Every time there
was an incomplete pass, the receiver got up looking for
a PI and I don't think we do that enough.
Whining works, Yeah, it works in the NFL. It's a
bad look, but it works because these guys had no
idea what's going on, and they're like, oh.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Was it?
Speaker 12 (33:01):
Well, there you go, you know, as long as we're
going to dissect every call like it's this a Bruner film.
There was also what I thought was an obvious defensive
pass interference.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
On Marlon Humphrey.
Speaker 12 (33:12):
No, s, come on, it's Pittsburgh on metcalf in the
cour and they didn't call that, and nobody's talking about that.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
I think the Steelers scored on that anyway. Wasn't that
the first Was that not the first drive?
Speaker 12 (33:28):
It was not okay, I don't think i'd have to
look it up, but just I remember the play, and
there's a million calls in the game. Yes, the calls
are the calls. You got to work around them.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, I know, but when it happens to you, you bitch,
that's what you do. You're right, Randy in terms of
freaking out after every call, every missed call, or Mark
Andrews did it a bunch of times. You know, the
reps are human beings at least for now, and you
know you can appeal to there.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
And that's why, uh, you know, John Harbus on this
complain about the ref.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
We're owed one, just so everybody's aware, you get the
next call exactly.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, I haven't thought about bot refs because you know,
Jean Sterotor is the most popular referee figure in the
NFL right now, and I could conceive of a bunch
of gen sterotor bots on the field, fleet of rope.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah, I mean you've seen those exactly.
Speaker 8 (34:24):
If he's the blueprint though, and it's kind of yinser ish.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
I'm in I'm gay with that. Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 12 (34:31):
The robot comes to the middlefield and says yins did
not make the line too.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Gay.
Speaker 8 (34:37):

Speaker 2 (37:08):
They should put that like little We should make T

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Fog Hat is the best punchline band name there is.
And they're not bad, No, they're awesome. But that's what
makes it funny.
Speaker 7 (37:24):
It's got enough consonants.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Yeah, I don't know what it is. It fog hat, dude.
People always laugh at fog At telling you.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Right now anyways, the jokes, yeah, it kind of yeah,
it is the equivalent of that. I mean there are
some other ones, like if you're going metal, the band
I always use for a metal joke is Crocus because
there's two k's in some hard K comedy sounds.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Crocus Crocus.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Tino Martino back in the days of Mulletok. That was
his favorite bandic croakish. Yeah, it's just like that's a
stupid band.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
To be way into.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Tino Martino, well he became un ironically like it's they
are mullets. Aers celebrated his his work is done. You
know he did it. That's right, he did it. Now
Cole Holcomb is wearing them. Well he doesn't have it
this year, but you know those people rock and mullets
all the time now on ironically it is no longer
a he discriminated against hairstyle.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Maybe Tino could interview col what happened? Why did you
cut it off? Why are you afraid of the power
of the milot?
Speaker 2 (38:38):
So here's the thing without rehashing twenty year old bits
here on DV, which boy I would like to you know,
the Reck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Anniversary. Took everything in
my power to not play Firebirds and Camaros.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Tino's ode based on that song.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
And had I been as into the Wreck of EDMUNDS
Fitzgerald as I ended up being, I would have never
wrote that song because it's disrespectful to the twenty nine
men and Gordon Lightfoot.
Speaker 8 (39:01):
And it's important to know because don't forget they ring
the bell for Gordon life.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
But right now to twenty nine times and then one
time for Gordo.
Speaker 12 (39:11):
Because they died and he made a career out of it.
So that's pretty respectful.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
The other thing I like about it is he wrote
one like the one lyric in there and he's like,
you know, the the hatch came out, and then the
cook came back on the ship, his fellow, it's been
good to know you. And then the mom or the
wife of the guy who's in charge of the hatches
like hey hey, hey, hey, hey, you're blaming Charlie. It
wasn't his fault that He's like, oh, you're right, I'm
so sorry, And every time he sang it thereafter he
(39:38):
changed that lyric.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
The hatch was totally good. Nothing happened with the hatch,
but the ships take anyway. I'll tell you who is
not responsible.
Speaker 11 (39:55):
Stuff happens, Yeah, stuff happens on the turns out the
lake is a dangerous place and nothing could be done
about it.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
So the miss Tackle.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Segment that I'm failing to get to here, this is
where some of the stories that don't get sponsored. Oh
that's right, exactly, Like why don't they sponsor the miss
tackles segment.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Oh we don't even get to it to you by
Shipbuilders Local.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Here's the three or five. One of the stories we
didn't get to. Patrick Mahomes seems to be wishing Travis
Kelcey a good luck in his retirement.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
I mean every season I've I've had with him these
last few years, I try to cherish because you know,
you never know, he got himself in great shape this year,
and he's played great football, and he'll have the option
to do whatever he wants to do after the season.
But I know one thing is he'll give everything he
has the rest of the season to try to give
(40:54):
us a chance to make a playoff run. We know
the chances are getting lower and lower, but I know
the guys on this team are gonna give everything to
have every opportunity to get.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
That sounds to me kind of like he's like, hey,
you know he's marrying a billionaire guys, he does not
need to get hit in the head over and over
again and work out all year long.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Plus when I throw.
Speaker 12 (41:15):
Them the ball in a critical situation, he just juggles
it until the.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Other guys end up with it. Can I get a
damn interception? For it.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Travis is like, Patty, I want to keep playing, and
He's like, no, no, you know, good luck in your
next life.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Hell of a run. You never know, this could be
it for you. What I am me?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
So, speaking of Mahomes, Chris Collinsworth set a new standard
of slurping on the Sunday Night Game.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Can't help himself, Kenny.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Patrick Mahomes, I need to set the scene for you.
Is not on the field when you hear this next SoundBite.
The Houston offense is on the field and.
Speaker 12 (41:54):
He's reacting to a pass thrown not by Patrick Mahomes
but by the other quarterback who's actually in the game
throwing passes.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Patrick Mahomes when you hear this clip is on the
bench with a huge coat over him, trying to stay warm.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
The Texans complete a pass, and here.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Is Chris Collinsworth's reaction, because the camera shows Patrick Mahomes
warming up on the bench.
Speaker 10 (42:18):
There he is, Patrick Mahomes. You've been through it all, right,
you've seen it all. He probably took a look at
that grow from C. J. Stroud and said, all right,
I've got one of those in me tonight.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
I mean, are you kidding me? He and It wasn't
even a good pass.
Speaker 12 (42:32):
It was a little checkdown that got deflected by a
defender and the ball kind of went end over end
and the guy caught it.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Anyway. Yeah, I got one of those in me tonight,
I hope.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
So the lengths that he goes to, it's absurd also
to service his whole PFF business. It's like a little
it feels uh slimy. Yeah, like they're just too in
bed with that.
Speaker 12 (42:54):
Blatantly obvious that they're just following their own agenda for
their own sake.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
Yeah. Yeah, that's what it feels like.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
By the way, I will applaud the NFL for making
the uprights for doinks, so we get premium Doyke soundage
and nothing more satisfying than a good doink. Here was
noted doink Harrison, Butker doinking his own doink. My. I
(43:27):
mean this sound on that it's really satisfying.
Speaker 7 (43:31):
I don't know why, but well, can you do this
one more time, just real quick? I just want to
hear it.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Why is that so satisfying?
Speaker 7 (43:41):
I don't know. I only make sandwiches for men when
they do the upright.
Speaker 12 (43:49):
Uh Keishawn Nixon from the past.
Speaker 7 (43:53):
I don't know frowned upon him.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Keishawn Nixon uh after he intercept Caleb Wilson to Williams
to end the game against the Bears. For the Packers,
he's interviewed in the locker room, and you know, you
expect him to be like, hey, hard fought game, the
two of us or the you know, the the offense
and the defense.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
We came together. No, no, he is all for one
and all for one. Okay, I do my language, but
you know, I am who I say am. I always
tell myself that, and I'll come on the field and
play like that. But I just a player. I gotta
keep megan on. I do this for me. I do
this for me.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Hey, if he makes those plays, I don't care if
you If you're selfish and you're ending the game, I'm
alright with it.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Sometimes you gotta dig deep and just do it for yourself, for.
Speaker 6 (44:43):
Your own bottom line, your own contract implications.
Speaker 12 (44:47):
Yeah, there was Also it didn't work for this segment
because it's not really audio, it's.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
More of a visual.
Speaker 12 (44:51):
But the Bears actually tried to do a Lambeau leap
in Green Bay and the fans fluck fuck back.
Speaker 3 (44:58):

on the legs, you know they do that.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
They're pushing them first out cheesy. It was tremendous. I
mean that to me though, that whole like, I do
it for me.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
It would be like if Fernando Mendoza after the Big
Ten Championship was just like, oh, glory goes to me.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
I did it all myself.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Oh thank god I did this because God wasn't gonna
do it.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
These a holes weren't going to do anything. It's all
on me. It's they gone for me. You're looking at
the number one overall pick and that's this guy, right, yeah, exactly.

year ago for Cal He gave basically the.

Same one to nothing at Stanford. Incredible comeback. I mean Stanford,
I'm the one who did it. He's done it all
year after a game.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
He did it at Penn State, he did it at
Oregon big our biggest wins besides the Big Ten Championship game.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
He's just a goofball.
Speaker 12 (46:00):
You could tell Jake's all in because he has researched
the interviews of his trance for a portal quarterback at
his previous school.

Here's Tom Opperman.
Speaker 14 (46:49):
Steelers took over first place in the anc Nors Sunday,
defeating the Ravens twenty seven to twenty two in Baltimore
in a game that the Steelers were outgained and out possessed,
but came up with more plays.
Speaker 3 (46:57):
In the big moments to escape Maryland with a win.
Speaker 14 (47:00):
A couple of those big moments came on the defensive
side of the ball and were authored by cornerback James Pierre,
linebacker Patrick Queen, and outside linebacker Alex Highsmith. James Pierre,
who has been a pleasant surprise for the Steelers this
year at corner, made an impressive one handed interception of
Lamar Jackson in the first half for the game's only turnover,
which the Steelers would convert into three points. Patrick Queen
came up with a huge pass breakup on tight end
(47:21):
Mark Andrews on fourth down with the Ravens at the
Steelers goal line threatening to take the lead late in
the fourth quarter, and he also chipped in seven tackles
while clearly playing through an injury.
Speaker 3 (47:30):
But Alex Heigsmith was perhaps.
Speaker 14 (47:31):
The man of the match for the Steelers on defense,
having seven tackles, three tackles for lost, two quarterback hits,
and the walk off sack of Lamar Jackson to steal
the victory for Pittsburgh. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows
for the Steelers defense, though, as they surrendered over two
hundred yards rushing for the second straight week, and seeing
as the Steelers next opponent, the Miami Dolphins, just ran
for two hundred and thirty nine yards this past Sunday
(47:51):
and that's something the Steelers need to improve. And in
a hurry, I'm Tom Upraman with the Steelers Report.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Great googly move, this one's got hard rob king here
