In the US.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The man answering w DP Pittsburgh, an iHeart radio station,
guaranteed human.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
The amount of F bombs that I was just involuntarily
screaming and the level of vitriol coming out of my mouth.
I scared kids. I scared kids who didn't understand. And
the one guy was like, doesn't he remind you of
Daddy when the Bears are doing bad? And the kids like, no,
(00:47):
so much more than you are, because I just knew
what it was setting up.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't want to call them Uncle Randy anymore.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
There was none of that things that they did like
me until that point. They saw a different Hey that
I was like, you want to watch that? Hey, that's fine? Yeah,
you know it was like road to Perdition? Do you
want to go to work with Daddy?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Brandy Bellman and the DV my name. Maybe it wasn't
that bad that I mean, it's still it was bad.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That was me describing watching the Browns game with my
girlfriend's family extended family at Christmas.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It was not good. Everybody was in a good mood.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
And they were all like, we're going to go to
the strip and oh, we're gonna go to Phipps and
we're gonna I think I'm going to take the kids
to watch the game with Randy mother. You know, it
was so it was a it was a bad look.
Tad Whistle's hanging out with us this morning. I don't
know about you guys, but I cannot stop watching that
missed field goal and any other highlight from sunday nights game.
(01:51):
I thought there was a chance I was going to
stay up just as late last night rewatching and enjoying
us beating Baltimore more.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I can't get over it. It's just the game to
get into the playoffs, but it felt so big and
I'm not exactly sure.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Why do you guys have this feeling like it was
more than just okay, now we're in the playoffs. I mean,
we got in the playoffs with Russell Wilson. I didn't
feel like this.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You know what I mean. It's different. There was some
magic quality about the game.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And I texted someone beforehand and was like, well, this
is Aaron Rodgers playing for his legacy. You're either the
wily old magician or you're a BS artist and.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
There's no middle ground.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah and yeah, I mean just watching the final play
like I'm scrolling through social media and it's like, which
one is this? This is the Portuguese announcers doing.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I'm taking them all in. I love it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I love all of it, and that poor K I
feel terrible for the kicker, Tyler Loop.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I do feel bad for that kid.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He's twenty four and he still got a long career
ahead of him if this does not completely mentally sink him.
But the Ravens fans are not exactly reacting that great.
You know, they are bombarding his fiance on social media.
She's got posts of the two of them announcing their
engagement and they are not saying kind things and she
(03:21):
has not turned off the comments. And I'm not exactly
sure why. But watching it over and over again, I
don't know what it is, it was just like, I
think we're just so starved for some sense of returning
to the championship expectation we've always had, and losing that
(03:45):
Browns game made us think like, this is it all
over again. It's the same thing, and without DK, it
just seemed like we were set up to lose on
Sunday night, and I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I thought they kicked their ass.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I really did, and the score didn't reflect after Kyle
Hamilton went down.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I think the Steelers just owned the game.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
But I had a buddy yesterday at the gym tell him,
he goes, they didn't win, the Ravens lost. I don't
necessarily totally agree with that. I actually think the Steelers
played great defensively, especially against a team that rediscovered what
it was that was supposed to make them the Super
Bowl favorite. Don't forget the Ravens going into the year
(04:25):
were everybody's pick for the AFC and they.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Finally remember, oh yeah, just hand it off to Derrick Henry.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
It took them forever, and finally Hardbaugh came back around
to it and he had been lighting it up, and
he lit us up forty one yards right off the
bat from scrimmage. But then in that second half they
tightened up Abby, they shut down the Henry and then
it just felt like it was like the years with
(04:55):
Ben where were like, we're not supposed to do it.
But I think we caan we were homed off. We
ended up getting the W and I know it doesn't
mean anything. AFC North titles are always nice, and I
know we haven't won the playoff game yet, and I
know there's problems with Mike Tomlin and hiring coaches and
all that I do. But that game, I don't know
(05:19):
I needed it. I guess that's what it is. It
was like the Detroit game. I really needed that Detroit game.
But that Ravens game, it just seems to have changed
the entire dynamic here in Pittsburgh. Everyone had a little
in their step yesterday, nicer to each other. Giant Eagle.
You know, I'll get that Kirk for you. Oh yeah,
(05:39):
you want to go? You got less items?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Well, the vibe about going to the Ravens game, you
were saying, like, oh, you can get a cheap ticket
on this one. It's gonna be completely different for Monday night.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh wait, you mean.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
This past this past one going to the Ravens game.
I remember you were saying. You're like, oh, you can
get a cheap it, you can get great seats.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You could.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
But this coming Monday night and it's going to be freezing.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
No everyone, So everybody is gonna want to have the
experience that Steeler fans got to have against the Ravens.
For the Texans game, is it gonna be freezing? Is
the weather coming back around?
Speaker 5 (06:16):
It's going to be a high of thirty two during
the day on Monday.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Okay, so that's not too bad. That's not too bad.
But that's good though, because they're a Dome team.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, we need it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
We need the elements to be ripping. We needed some
ripping winds. Yeah, a little moisture would be good. And
it's going to be like sixty on Friday. So glad
that it's gonna dip back down.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I could not get enough yesterday. I was just like
watching highlights and interviews and just giddy. It was delightful.
It reminded me of the run up in the Ben
years where there was like that five year like two
thousand and eight to like even more than that, like
two thousand, like almost eight nine years, where it felt
like you could win the Super Bowl every year. And
(07:00):
I'm a same We're a super Bowl team. I'm saying,
do you want to play the Steelers?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I wouldn't want to play them If you're in the AFC,
would you want to play the Steelers right now? Heck no,
not with a rested d K coming back, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah, right, was a genius to stab TJ in the
lung with a needle.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Didn't he look not beat up?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You had lung surgery, not minor probably.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
How's your lung feels pretty good? Everything else feels great?
Uh it feels uh air tight?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Uh? Good? Good? Good? Yes, good good? Yes, airtight lungs
are desirable.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
This time of year, I found myself wondering, uh, you know,
and watching spoof after spoof and meme after meme of
Tyler Loup messing the field goal about the uh, like
the heels of games, paths that have been that were
like just not around during social media, that were spared
from being memed to death, Like I mean even vander Jack,
(08:06):
oh you know vander Jack Dennis north Cutt dropping that
third down conversion that would have ice the game the
Steelers Browns playoff game.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Oh, I forgot about that.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
One would have been so bad because a drop is
so it's like you touched it with both hands. Yeah,
and now it's on the ground and then what what
would he doing? Yeah? It's uh. And I guess what
I'm saying is we should go back in history and
we should beat all of them to death.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
It is a weird feeling, though, to watch on repeat
somebody else's worst moment ever, you know, like the worst
thing that's ever happened to Tyler Loop. I'm getting endless
enjoyment from like there it.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Goes up to the right again.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
We'll look at that, you know, It's like it'd be
like rewatching beheadings over and over, like back and they.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
There goes her head. We got her. What a glorious
day for all of us storming the steel. Watch it again,
Watch it again.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I don't get as much enjoyment out of watching Tyler
Loop as I do Lamar Jackson, because he's looking like
it's going in, like this is over, and then you
watch his body shift where his celebration stops.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
That I like a lot more.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
How about his postgame comments where they're like, do you
want John Harbaugh back?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
He's like, I haven't even taken off my gator. I don't.
I can't talk about it next year. I don't know.
I know we lost, we lost, right, Okay, fine, I'm stunne.
Oh yeah, he was done.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
He never takes off the gator though. I always think
that he's like that on a date. Old like horror
story about the girl that has like the green ribbon
around her neck, Like.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
If you take it off.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
His head just falls off.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
No, no, no, no, that's keeping it on. Leave the gator
on there. He apparently. They said, did you say anything
to Tyler Loop and Lamar Jackson said, well, no, no,
I didn't say anything about the field. Will When he
kicked the ball out of the bounds. I went over
and yelled at him, Oh good, Now you gotta be
(10:18):
in a good frame my mind, did you yeah, all right,
well yes he liked it.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Thank you, Lamar. Michael.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Have more than that coming up. Abby's got a news
update for you. Now, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Is this hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store.
Cloudy today with a high of forty seven, which is
actually yesterday's weather, and it's actually.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Today it is.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
It's rainy with high of forty nine. Flu cases are
surging across the United States, and health officials say that
a new strain may not be a perfect match for
current vaccines, so they emphasized that the shots should continue
to protect most people from the worst outcomes. Researchers say
that the flu season hasn't peaked yet, but the rise
in cases isn't out of the ordinary. Winter conditions are
(11:02):
helping viruses spread as people gather indoors and traveled for
the holidays. Northeast is already seeing a very big search. Hospitalizations,
er visits, and flu related deaths are all up, according
to the CDC, with the nation likely to hit peak
activity sometime in February.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
My mom has been sick since Christmas Day. She is
still sick and coughing and just miserable. And I feel
so bad for her. And I know a lot of
people that had that whatever she's got, they have the
same thing, and it was like two weeks long.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So she missed Christmas and.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Her birthday and New Year's And because her grandkids, two
of them are high risk, she's just been alone. I
feel so bad for her. We just keep calling her
and be like everything okay.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
She's like, yeah, yeah, you're not getting rid of them
all yet. I'm like, ah, all right.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I'll come bring you some soup. Nope, I'm fine, don't
worry about it. That'll be good. My did you see
Tyler miss that kick? That'll make you feel about it?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Can't stop watching it.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
This misery is the only thing that is bringing me joy.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Toss in a fisherman's friend and cue that one. Up
the fourth quarter again while you're at it. But no,
it's a drag, man. I feel bad for it. A
lot of her friends like, we're in the hospital with
whatever is going on. So this has been particularly tough
on the old people, you know, A every time I
heard news of this, you know, throughout the years, and
(12:28):
you hear like, oh it affects you know, young children
and older people more adversely, Yeah, you don't really think
of it until you know when your mom's going yep,
Judy's in you know, you're like, oh god, yeah, she's
losing majong partners all the time, you know what I mean.
So hopefully this this strain passes by quickly.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
By now you've probably seen a dozen or more articles
announcing that MTV has shut down its music channels. But
what most of those articles are conveniently ignoring. They're either
doing that out of ignorance or maybe a little bit
of clickbait, is that there are still MTV channels that
show videos in the US. So this shutdown effects MTV's
music channels in the UK, Australia, France, poll in Brazil
(13:13):
and other countries. But as of Sunday night, American videos
are still available on MTV Live and MTV Classic.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
That could change, but.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
There's no word if Paramount has plans to shut those down.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Obviously, the flagship.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
MTV channel doesn't seem to be going anywhere, so you
can still get your fill of Teen Moms and Jersey
Bros for the time being.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I never I mean, I'm old, so when MTV stopped
playing videos and just started focusing on shows. I mean
the last MTV shows that I really paid attention to
was Jersey Shores, Like, yeah, the years of that, and
then I know, ridiculousness kind of took everything over. But
I never watched the Teen Moms or any of that stuff.
It was very much for me, the glory years of MTV.
(13:57):
It was a life changing event. Like I was a
part of the generation that you know when you saw
like old movies and people like and then radio happened
and then everyone in the house was all sitting around
a radio listening to radio shows, and how much it
changed their life. That's what MTV did. I mean, I
think I was in fifth grade or something, and me
(14:20):
and all my friends would stay up watching MTV, just
watching MTV all night long. You would just couldn't wait
for the next video, didn't care if you saw the
same one eight times.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yeah, which in the early days you did.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, they weren't that many. It was like a two
hour loop or something. Well they had a little more
than that, but not a ton.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
But you got turned onto a lot of weird bands
and a lot of English bands because they're the ones
that were making videos. And then the impact of that
was so quickly apparent that all the record companies started
sinking money into making videos. And so that's when the
glory days of videos came up, where they were hiring
like directors and au tours to come in with their
own artistic vision and do these weird videos like the
(15:04):
Aha you know take on Me was very much on
the later end of the spectrum, but early on I
always think it must have been very funny. And there's
a book Jeff Concole told me about it, and I haven't
have it queued up to read about the making of
lots of those videos. And I know there were lots
of like archetypal pain in the ass, like egotistical artists
(15:27):
who were thought they were making Andy Warhol type high art.
And then you know in retrospect, it's like you directed
a Thompson Twins video. It wasn't that big of a deal.
But at the time, you know, they were like they thought.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They were making this huge cultural statement.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Oh yeah, and that it was there, you know, that
was going to be their their legacy.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, and it's like, well it's a Cyndi Laupper video.
It's yeah, it would be great, like big video. I'm
not going to hang in the louver in.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
The way of pop up video which I use to love,
which is on a v H one, But like I
always used to love learning all the little tidbits about
how the videos were made because they used to binge
them much like you. But it would be fun now to, like,
now that they've had time to let the hubris die
down and let that all settle, to go back to
(16:17):
those directors, make them narrate and watch the videos again
and just be like, what did you think this was actually.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Going to look like?
Speaker 5 (16:26):
But make like whoever directed the Toto video for Africa,
be like, what did you actually think that was going
to look like? And they're like standing over a gigantic
map with like a big book and everything, be like,
what was it supposed to look like and be like.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Well, what were you from the Billy Squire rocking in a.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Night video when you told him to roll in those
satin shit?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
What is that? Crawl around like a lion?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
And he had like three pasttel tanks on and he
kept ripping them off, And what exactly was your motivation?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You you're a gay? It was really much, very turned
on by him. Oh that makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Can I get it now? I see it.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
He's like, Okay, lick the air Billy, lick the air tiger.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Tiger, that's what he's doing. Is it's so funny. Didn't
ruin his ruined career, ruined him.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
But somehow the Separate Ways video, which is Happy Birthday
to the Separate Ways video was forty three years ago
yesterday that that video released, that did not ruin journey,
and it could have. It should have because they listened
to their video director who told them, pretend to play
your instruments and the keyboard. Guys like even me, And
(17:42):
he's like even you especially?
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Yeah, alright, no, no, no, we need you most of
all to be committed.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
The drummers like playing air drawn, you know, air base
and everything.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
It's a bad. Look, that's a bad video.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, it ruined the song because it's actually not that
bad of a song but an awesome song. But every
time you hear it, don't you think about them? Like
standing around like the wharf in San Francisco when they're
just playing the air and then Billy Squire crawls by
and licks.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
It cloudy today rain And I'm forty nine.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
All right, Mike's got your sports here coming up as
the Steelers are basking in the glow of the AFC
North Crown and they'll face the Houston Texans Monday night
football here in Pittsburgh. The wild Card game comes to Pittsburgh.
First home game we've had since the COVID years.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Wow, and what would what did you say? Yesterday?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Jacob was the last home game home playoff game we
had with people.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
Oh yeah, because of the COVID season twenty twenty, there
was no fans in the stands. So technically the last
game with the last home playoff game was the Jags
game back in the twenty seventeen twenty eighteen season, So
it's been eight years since a home playoff game with
a real home playoff at as well.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Oh and I'm telling you the crowd that was there
on Sunday night here at Akroscer Stadium. Everybody is going
to want to have their own experience like that. They're
going to want to recreate that exact seat. It's gonna
be nuts at Akrosher Stadium Monday night, Steelers Texans here
(19:32):
on DV.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
This is w DV Pittsburgh.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
Can you play the greatest fall.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
In the world for me only if you can dick it.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Let us know your lunch requests on our socials phone
or the talkback button on the iHeart radio app. You
picked this songs on the Electric Lunch at noon on DV.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
From the Sedon Hill University Weather Center. Schedule your campus
visit today. Just reported is sponsored by Positive Coaching Alliance.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
It's gonna be cloudy today with rain developing sports. I
just want to point out before I hand it over
to Mike that I did not make a big enough
deal about how badass of a performance Mike pursuit he
gave us yesterday, staying up all night Monday night doing
the post game show on Sunday into Monday, and then
(20:26):
getting no sleep and coming in here and doing the
four hour radio show.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
A little bit of sleep. Well I'm sure that's two hours. Yeah,
that's like a nap.
Speaker 10 (20:33):
The hard part is after I get done Monday, just
I do our show and then one of my other
ones that I added this year, which is a Monday
night TV show with Kinger and Matt Williams. Soon it's
called The Point After we take that at noon. So
I do that till one o'clock and then I drive
home and then I crash and then yeah, it's bad,
(20:55):
but you know we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Do it all over again on Monday nights. We are
maybe after that, I hope.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
So I don't know if you heard me at the open,
but I have enjoyed watching that miss field goal over
and over again.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Oh my god. I'm sure a lot of people are.
Speaker 10 (21:10):
You can't go on any social media platform without seeing
that Tad was saying with the Paraguayan calls. I mean,
there's just people's reactions and you know, fans doing fake
rage and breaking televisions or hugging you know, their significant
others or whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
But it was a moment.
Speaker 10 (21:30):
I mean that steels franchise has had a lot of them,
but that was one of them.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
That is way more than one one game. It was.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I know we live in the age of hyperbole, but
a lot of people were saying that is going to
go down is one of the greatest regular season games
of all time in terms of entertainment factor.
Speaker 10 (21:50):
I don't think there's any way it can't, and certainly
in that facility. It's one of the great games ever played,
no question. And then you throw the Ravens thing in
the that's what does it though, right state.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And that it just keeps getting elevated, right, the.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Fact that it's the Ravens waiting. Yeah, what was at stake?
Speaker 10 (22:08):
You know, if that would happen against Seattle, it would
have been like, oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yes, that was a good game. It was entertaining.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, but the history of the teams, the AFC North
Crown on the line, Lamar's legacy, two coaches whose future
was ostensibly to be determined by the outcome of that. Yeah,
that was the narrative. That wasn't It doesn't matter that
specter was in the air.
Speaker 10 (22:30):
Yeah, Well, but I mean Tomda wasn't going anywhere if
they lost that game.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I know, Harbu Might Harbor Might.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
Sports Saw brought to you by Pretti vill Plots. I
was thinking my top games at heinz Field slash Actresser Stadium.
I got four and I'm not sure the particular order. Well,
then you know five. Ted reminded me of that Cleveland
game you guys were talking about that.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I don't have a lot of good memory.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I mean of the first ten years of Actress of Heinesfield.
I think that might be alcohol related.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
Playoff game when they were way behind and they came
storm back to win the Packers game. I forget what
year it was, but the Steelers weren't going anywhere. Oh
my god that it became a shootout and Tomlin kicked
an on side kick when he had the lead because
he knew they couldn't stop the Packers. And the reasoning was, well,
if we don't get it, they'll just score quicker and
then we'll have time to score at the end. And
(23:21):
that's how it worked out. The Packers scored and then
Ben hit Mike Walla Mike Wallace on the corner twenty
yard pass.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Like like on the ground newsap. That was incredible.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (23:33):
And then of course THEFC Championship game against the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I mean that was the two thousand and nine when
the where Troy intercepts black Ow and takes it to
the house. The game that y Clark is in there again,
we just saw it was Emily in there and I'll
do you one better. A game that meant absolutely nothing,
but in terms of entertainment value, Steelers Ravens. The Duck
Hodges debut game when Mason got his face mask removed
(23:58):
and he looked like the Spaceballs guy. The cart didn't
work and they had to help him off the field
after he valiantly hung in there on that throw.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
By the way, he doesn't get enough credit. I'm smack
him in the mouth.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Brutal that game, Juju dropped what would have won the game,
fumbled fumble in overtime, caught it pass from Hodges now bumble.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Game was so fun and we lost.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
But I mean, in terms of entertainment Steelers Ravens, that
that one brought it not quite like what we just
saw on Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Mike, and I think that.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
The terrifying factor of the ending because everybody thought they
were gonna lose when Likely caught the ball yes, probably
eyody thought they were gonna lose some possible missed the
extra point I did, and then the forty two yard
kickoff return kind of confirmed that. Yes, it's like, okay,
these guys need twelve yards and just things over and
uh it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
What we didn't have the benefit of knowing was that
Lamar Jackson had already screamed at their kicker for kicking
it out of bounce and gotten into his head that
rightly so until you know.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
We're not gonna need you later, So I'm gonna mess
with you now. Don't never do that again.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Although Sports of Subs brought to you by Bridge Phil Plintz,
speaking of their kicker, are you being sympathetic to him?
You know, you have some humanity and some compassion.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I don't know how you don't have a little bit,
just a little bit.
Speaker 10 (25:11):
It's funny. He's not the first rookie kicker to go
through this. In fact, he's in a long line of
rookie kickers. I mentioned yesterday Tyler Lup had been twenty
nine for twenty nine from shorter than fifty yards this year,
hadn't missed. He was one for four from fifty plus
twenty nine for twenty nine, closer than fifty. But according
to NFL research since two thousand, rookie or first year
(25:35):
kickers are twelve for twenty five on field goal attempts
when their team is down by one to three points
with ten seconds or less. Formading, Yeah, there's just no
way to prepare for it, right, and you know, maybe
you get that first one through and you're okay, maybe
you don't. Now you got to deal with it and
(25:55):
you got to rise above it. So he's not the
first guy to have that happen to him. I mean,
that's the thing about having a rookie kicker, and that's
you know, you also mentioned everybody was raving about the
Ravens and you know how much preseason hype they got.
People that were doing that didn't remember what a factor
Justin Tucker was. For now, there was a time where
he was automatic from like the fifty yard lining in
(26:18):
and they had such an advantage because of that. Hardball
played to that and they just, oh my god, they
get the ball to thirty eight, two first downs, they
got a field goal, and then they're playing from ahead
and then they're adding the leads or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
They don't have that anymore. Yeah, you know, might have that.
It's Jacksonville. That guy's ridiculous, Sam Little seventy.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yeah, and preseason he has the longest field goal ever
and the second longest field goal ever in the NFL
sixty eight and sixty seven.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Wow, I'm just just.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Starting to think about the postseason and you know, get
into it. I mean, I'm gonna watch some Texans games today,
and you're.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So right about the Tucker thing. You're so right about
the Tucker thing.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
He can't just remove a guy who's a historically good
element and then say, Okay, well let's just get another one.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Doesn't work that way, now, you know, like what happened
to the Lions.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
You should have lost two good coordinators off their stats,
then John become head coach and Aaron who's a.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Terrible he coach.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
But you don't just okay, plug another guy in and
keep rolling. Like those are significant deletions. I think Jacksonville
is gonna be a little scary.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Uh I.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I don't disagree with you, and I think their coaches
is the big reason why. And they do have that weapon. Look,
Tomlin plays to the fact that he's got boswell. He
relies on Bos. I mean I think he leaves Boz
hanging on stuff a little too often in terms of like, no,
we'll be five, it's fifty seven yard and we'll be fine. Like,
I don't think he tries to help Boz out very much.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
They did that in the Jets game. What do he
bang of sixty yard in that game to win it?
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, Like he's not too worried about him from down down,
he may want to start.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I completely agree. The last few games.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Three games in a row, he's missed a kick. He's
not hitting the ball. Well, it's like again, you know
they will draw the parallel to golfing. It's like you're
just hitting the ball, not right.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
He's not hitting the ball right.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
Based on the most recent occurrences, they will not have
the kicking advantage agreed unless the field the home field.
Maybe Ky Fairburn has used to better conditions in Houston
than you get, but this place isn't what it used
to be in terms of a horror venue for kickers.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Well, don't forget. We have God on our side. We
we will that holy water is going to be the
uprights will be doused in it. I'm being told, wonder,
what do you do after that, like, what's next? You
sprinkles some holy water? What's what's next in the progression?
I know, I'm not sure. I mean, that's that's about
(28:54):
Catholic you should know this. Yeah, well, I think the
next thing is like, if that doesn't work, you are
kind of you know, you have to get into like
the more papal type of interferences.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
As a Catholic, I can say that if it doesn't work,
the move is for everyone to feel really.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Bad and blame each other. Definitely, yes, yeah, guilt guilty.
That probably won't be a stretch.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
No, no, no, but that the good feelings that are
abounding right now, it's it's a joy to behold.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
I think it's it feels like they accomplished something, doesn't
it They did, and they haven't in people's minds in
a long time.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Ten wins. A lot of people did not have them
getting near that.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Ten wins, winning the division, which they hadn't done since
twenty twenty, and ending Baltimore season on one kick.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Well, like you said, though Boswell makes that kick, you know,
it's like, you know, they.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
That's why I wasn't lucky.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
It just worked out the way it worked out to
your point about how well they played twenty four first
downs to twelve, three hundred and ninety yards to three
hundred and fifty nine. I thought they smacked them fifty
six percent on third down to thirty three percent. Time
of possession was thirty four to eleven to twenty five
forty nine. Even the rushing was relatively close. Henry went
(30:14):
off in the first quarter and a half and then
they shut him off like they didn't just contain him
in the second half. Was five carries for fourteen yards.
He was a non factor in the game. But I
got to give Baltimore a lot of credit for pulling
spectacular splash plays out of its ass when it needed to.
Oh my god, for those those are equalizers. If not
(30:35):
you know game Steelers.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
The fourth down conversions for two of them for touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yeah, it's hard to uh say, like all the Ravens
weren't that good, because they did come up with some
incredible plays, but they were huge defensive breakdowns by the
Steelers in those cases.
Speaker 10 (30:56):
And kind of more miscalculations than breakdowns. They just played
short and the Ravens threw long and one played the
scramble play. I mean they didn't line up, Patrick Queen
on Flowers. It's just that, Yes, it was a sack drill.
You know, the guys go short and the short guys
go long and the quarterback just has to find one
(31:16):
and they just that was Baltimore making them play out of.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
A bad situation, right, I mean credit to them, right, right.
That's a chess move. That's not blown coverage. Does a
Flowers one look like blown coverage?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Though?
Speaker 10 (31:26):
Maybe the second one? Yeah, the sixty and then the
one Ramsey just came up. And the first one, Ramsey
just came up and played the sticks and the guy
went deep. But you know it was third and yeah,
eight or something like that. Sometimes you gotta go for it.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I'm still basking in the glow of Steelers twenty six
Ravens twenty four.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Abbey'll have your news coming up at the top of
the hour.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
We are going to talk a little more about Tyler
Luke because somebody's go to teach him to turn off
comments on his engagement photo with.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Some mistackles from the weekend.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
For you when we come back, stories to slip through
our fingers is we were just elited all day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yeah, it's like a past. Isaiah likely.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Just just trickled right off there before we got the
third foot down.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
A streaming at V dot com, on the iHeartRadio app and.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
All your smart devices. This is one O two point
five dv E better call SI.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Did a truck driver's feeding cause a wreck? Did you
get re erect? Our producer misstackle segment. Each week, we
like to go through some of the stories that slipped
through our fingers while we were solely focused on your
AFC North champion Pittsburgh Steelers. One of those is from
their rival, the Ravens. Post game, Lamar Jackson was asked
(32:44):
about the Ravens' future and whether he'll be there and
whether he thinks Harbaugh should be there, and uh, Lamar
is still stunned. He just it's like he just got
off the tilta whirl and he does not know where
the center is.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
He is still trying to get his feet on the
ground here. But the more, we're not.
Speaker 10 (33:04):
Sure when we're gonna be able to talk to you
next after this this offseason, there's a lot of questions
about your contract, your salary cap number.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Do you do you feel you'll you'll be back as
the Rings quarterback? In the season.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
I'm we just lost a game, you know, a divisional game,
you know, a game to put us in the playoffs.
I'm not even thinking about that right now, to be
honest with you, I'm still caught up in what just happened.
You know, that's not my focus right now.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
A lot a lot of questions felt our walls future
as well.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
Do you do you do you want to see John?
Speaker 9 (33:38):
That's you you asked me about next year, Jamie say like,
I'm so caught up in what just happened tonight.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I can't. I can't focus on that right now.
Speaker 9 (33:46):
I just told you, like he asked me, are you stunning,
I'm stunning right now, and I'm still trying to process
what's going on.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Like, I know, we lost, but you know that's all.
This is Pittsburgh, right I'm on Earth. I'm just trying
to give him a feet Terra farmer here.
Speaker 10 (34:04):
It's interesting to ask him about the coach and he goes,
I can't talk about that right now, which sort of
leaves it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, well you think they'll they'll ask him, of course.
I want John back. Yeah, very simple, very simple, like
even the lines. I saw the kid miss the field goal.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
Look good.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
You know, Yeah, let's run it back next year. We
can't close, we'll do better.
Speaker 10 (34:23):
Maybe we won't trade our best pass rusher for frigging safety.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
In the middle of the season.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
They asked Lamar, like, like before the draft, Well, how
about now?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
What do you think about yourself? I'm still thinking about Pittsburgh.
I don't how what happened?
Speaker 3 (34:38):
We lost that game, right, Jamar Chase, this is a
lot of AFC North people being butt hurt. Jamar Chase
asked if he had confidence in coach Zach Taylor.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I am very confident in myself. I'm confident and the
places they call for me to get.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Open when it's it starts with the longing.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
What's my lie here?
Speaker 3 (35:09):
It's like, if you propose to somebody and you're on
one knee, will you marry me?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I just had a lobster. I don't know. I can't
deal with that. Right now, you're asking me about the future.
I'm still trying to figure out what just happened at
that dinner. Uh So, what is Jamar Chase gonna do?
Speaker 12 (35:28):
I'm gonna go to Kantcoon like everybody except me to do,
and I'm going to enjoy myself and I'm I don't
have nothing else to do, so.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
He's got nothing else myself there.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Yeah, that's the popular internet troll right head to Cancun,
which they go to much nicer places than can't.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Cut a little plane and watch it fly.
Speaker 10 (35:45):
Yeah, Taylor's coming back, by the way, that's already confirmed.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:51):
Mike Brown made an announcement yesterday the coach in the
GM and sence you're staying and.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
How does Cleveland fire the coach but not the GM.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
Because Cleveland has not known what it's doing since nineteen
ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
And to that point.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Here was the owner yesterday, Jimmy Haslam talking to the fans,
and boy, he is pissed.
Speaker 13 (36:09):
And I want you to hear this. Okay. First of all,
ownership takes full responsibility for where we are. To win
eight games in two years is horrible. It's totally unacceptable, Okay,
and it's not going to continue, okay, And I want
the fans to know we are as frustrated as you are.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
I mean, even though he starts by saying they're taking
full responsibility.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I think they made a billion bucks or so. I
don't think is the stadium coming.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Yeah, it kind of feels like the Tim Robinson sketch
where he's wearing the hot dog suit and the hot
dog cars crashed into the to the store and he's going.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
We're all just trying to figure out who did this.
It's you, Jimmy, it's you. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (36:51):
I gotta say Brown's fans are amazing. I agree that
they keep showing up for that bleep show.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
If the Browns fans weren't amazing, it wouldn't be fun
like the you know, the rivalry, even though it's been
taken down in Tire, it's in Pittsburgh and replaced with
the Ravens rivalry for the last twenty five years.
Speaker 10 (37:11):
If they would get good again, it would fast forward
in a heartbeat right to where it used to be.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
All of those AFC North matchupsling, Yes, that's the one.
They're all on a burner and some of them get
really hot. I mean, look, the Bengals and the Steelers
had ten years there. I mean Ben described at that
one time as like there is the rivalry between the
Steelers and the Ravens, which is like they respect each other,
(37:40):
but but but there's hatred there. And he described the
Bengals rivalry as like No, that's a street fight back, man.
It's it's just hate, yea. They just hate each other
in your shoes, rible, no respect at all. And Cleveland
is just such a mess. It's like each other. No,
(38:02):
it's never that. So here's another one. People were sending
this to me yesterday, the Ravens radio broadcast of the
Tyler Loop missed field goal. Like you know, Tad, here's
another one you get to listen to. Not quite as
fun as the NFL Paraguay radio play by play, but
(38:23):
Rod Woodson is the color analyst for the Ravens.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Former Steeler.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
He's got a foot in both nations, all right, but
he did win a championship with the Ravens. Some people
are speculating that because he was back in Pittsburgh that
he got his Steeler love back and kind of was
rooting the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Listen to this play by play of the missed field goal.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Tell me if you think he is exclaiming in happiness
or in disgust. Nick Moore will have the snap, Jordan
Stout will have a hole il loop from forty four
yards season.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
On the line. Loops kick is on the way.
Speaker 13 (39:05):
It is.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
No good little joy in there.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
He missed it. I've discussed started to come around. At first,
I thought it was just surprised at first he missed it.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
I saw him before the game a little bit, and
then he's doing radio for the Ravens color analysts, and
you were up in the radio and we're doing the
postgame and we have Max starks On at the start
of the show, Charlie Batch and I. So he came
in and he was on his way out, stuck his
head and when we were in commercial and he was
shaking hands and you know.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Just be ysing with everybody.
Speaker 10 (39:38):
I asked him if it was weird for him to
come back here for a game like that, and he
said kinda, because he does have ties to both organizations.
He'd loved being a Steeler, but he won his Super
Bowl in Baltimore. And he said, the way I deal
with it is I just look at it like, hey,
I get to work a game and it's a great game.
You know this is going to be epic because we
were talking about this before the game. But that's got
(40:00):
to be hard for him. If he had not gone
to the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
I just think that he would be so much more
beloved here and not that he's not, but his name
doesn't get thrown around as often as it should.
Speaker 10 (40:10):
I go back to the nineteen eighty six the last
three games of the nineteen eighty six seasons when I
started covering the Steelers for the Beaver County Times, and
he came in nineteen eighty seven, So I missed Joe
Green as a player. Joe Green is clearly number one
in franchise history. Everybody else is behind him. Woodson's the
(40:31):
greatest player I ever saw in a professional capacity.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
We're covering stas teams. I mean, that's quite a statement,
and it's not particularly close.
Speaker 10 (40:40):
Wow, Kickerturner, he could have played any position he went. Yeah,
it was just just that, just a total freak athlete. Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Abby's got your news When we came back, Abby, what
are you going to be talking about?
Speaker 5 (40:54):
We are going to talk a little more about Tyler Loup.
Somebody has to teach him how to turn off comments
on his game photopor thing.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Steelers Texans Monday night wild Card playoffs in Pittsburgh. A
four o'clock start to that pregame for an eight to
fifteen kickoff here on your radio Home of the Steelers DVE.
Speaker 11 (41:11):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by Calli and Pizzaan Draft Howles, three time
World Pizza Champions, and Steelers Pro Shop. Get it direct
from the team at Shop dot Steelers dot com. Here's
Tom Opperman.
Speaker 12 (41:25):
The Steelers claimed their first AFC North Division titles Sunday night,
defeating the Baltimore Ravens twenty six to twenty four and
a thriller.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
On the defensive side of the ball, Cam.
Speaker 12 (41:32):
Hayward was everywhere, leading the team with seven tackles and
consistently blowing up the Ravens offensive line on basically every play.
Oh yeah, he also served as the pusher during the
Steelers Steel City Shove package on offense, taking over Darnell
Washington's role and pushing his younger brother Connor's tush over
the goal line for the Steelers first touchdown of the game.
There was truly nothing Captain Cam wasn't willing to do
(41:54):
as he helped guide the Steelers to their tenth AFC
North Division title since the division became a thing in
two The h two Aaron Rodgers led the way with
two hundred and ninety four passing yards for the Steelers offense,
a season high for the MVP quarterback, eclipsing his previous
season high, which he also achieved against Baltimore back in
Week fourteen. Next up for Pittsburgh, they welcome to Houston,
(42:15):
Texas to town for their first home wild Card game
since twenty twenty and their first in front of a
home crowd since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (42:23):

Speaker 3 (00:27):
The amount of F bombs that I was just involuntarily
screaming and the level of vitriol coming out of my mouth.
I scared kids. I scared kids who didn't understand. And
the one guy was like, doesn't he remind you of
Daddy when the Bears are doing bad? And the kids like, no,
(00:47):
so much more than you are, because I just knew
what it was setting up.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't want to call them Uncle Randy anymore.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
There was none of that things that they did like
me until that point. They saw a different Hey that
I was like, you want to watch that? Hey, that's fine? Yeah,
you know it was like road to Perdition? Do you
want to go to work with Daddy?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Brandy Bellman and the DV my name. Maybe it wasn't
that bad that I mean, it's still it was bad.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That was me describing watching the Browns game with my
girlfriend's family extended family at Christmas.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It was not good. Everybody was in a good mood.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
And they were all like, we're going to go to
the strip and oh, we're gonna go to Phipps and
we're gonna I think I'm going to take the kids
to watch the game with Randy mother. You know, it
was so it was a it was a bad look.
Tad Whistle's hanging out with us this morning. I don't
know about you guys, but I cannot stop watching that
missed field goal and any other highlight from sunday nights game.
(01:51):
I thought there was a chance I was going to
stay up just as late last night rewatching and enjoying
us beating Baltimore more.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I can't get over it. It's just the game to
get into the playoffs, but it felt so big and
I'm not exactly sure.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Why do you guys have this feeling like it was
more than just okay, now we're in the playoffs. I mean,
we got in the playoffs with Russell Wilson. I didn't
feel like this.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You know what I mean. It's different. There was some
magic quality about the game.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And I texted someone beforehand and was like, well, this
is Aaron Rodgers playing for his legacy. You're either the
wily old magician or you're a BS artist and.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
There's no middle ground.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah and yeah, I mean just watching the final play
like I'm scrolling through social media and it's like, which
one is this? This is the Portuguese announcers doing.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I'm taking them all in. I love it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I love all of it, and that poor K I
feel terrible for the kicker, Tyler Loop.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I do feel bad for that kid.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He's twenty four and he still got a long career
ahead of him if this does not completely mentally sink him.
But the Ravens fans are not exactly reacting that great.
You know, they are bombarding his fiance on social media.
She's got posts of the two of them announcing their
engagement and they are not saying kind things and she
(03:21):
has not turned off the comments. And I'm not exactly
sure why. But watching it over and over again, I
don't know what it is, it was just like, I
think we're just so starved for some sense of returning
to the championship expectation we've always had, and losing that
(03:45):
Browns game made us think like, this is it all
over again. It's the same thing, and without DK, it
just seemed like we were set up to lose on
Sunday night, and I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I thought they kicked their ass.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I really did, and the score didn't reflect after Kyle
Hamilton went down.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I think the Steelers just owned the game.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
But I had a buddy yesterday at the gym tell him,
he goes, they didn't win, the Ravens lost. I don't
necessarily totally agree with that. I actually think the Steelers
played great defensively, especially against a team that rediscovered what
it was that was supposed to make them the Super
Bowl favorite. Don't forget the Ravens going into the year
(04:25):
were everybody's pick for the AFC and they.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Finally remember, oh yeah, just hand it off to Derrick Henry.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
It took them forever, and finally Hardbaugh came back around
to it and he had been lighting it up, and
he lit us up forty one yards right off the
bat from scrimmage. But then in that second half they
tightened up Abby, they shut down the Henry and then
it just felt like it was like the years with
(04:55):
Ben where were like, we're not supposed to do it.
But I think we caan we were homed off. We
ended up getting the W and I know it doesn't
mean anything. AFC North titles are always nice, and I
know we haven't won the playoff game yet, and I
know there's problems with Mike Tomlin and hiring coaches and
all that I do. But that game, I don't know
(05:19):
I needed it. I guess that's what it is. It
was like the Detroit game. I really needed that Detroit game.
But that Ravens game, it just seems to have changed
the entire dynamic here in Pittsburgh. Everyone had a little
in their step yesterday, nicer to each other. Giant Eagle.
You know, I'll get that Kirk for you. Oh yeah,
(05:39):
you want to go? You got less items?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Well, the vibe about going to the Ravens game, you
were saying, like, oh, you can get a cheap ticket
on this one. It's gonna be completely different for Monday night.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh wait, you mean.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
This past this past one going to the Ravens game.
I remember you were saying. You're like, oh, you can
get a cheap it, you can get great seats.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You could.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
But this coming Monday night and it's going to be freezing.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
No everyone, So everybody is gonna want to have the
experience that Steeler fans got to have against the Ravens.
For the Texans game, is it gonna be freezing? Is
the weather coming back around?
Speaker 5 (06:16):
It's going to be a high of thirty two during
the day on Monday.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Okay, so that's not too bad. That's not too bad.
But that's good though, because they're a Dome team.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, we need it.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
We need the elements to be ripping. We needed some
ripping winds. Yeah, a little moisture would be good. And
it's going to be like sixty on Friday. So glad
that it's gonna dip back down.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I could not get enough yesterday. I was just like
watching highlights and interviews and just giddy. It was delightful.
It reminded me of the run up in the Ben
years where there was like that five year like two
thousand and eight to like even more than that, like
two thousand, like almost eight nine years, where it felt
like you could win the Super Bowl every year. And
(07:00):
I'm a same We're a super Bowl team. I'm saying,
do you want to play the Steelers?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I wouldn't want to play them If you're in the AFC,
would you want to play the Steelers right now? Heck no,
not with a rested d K coming back, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah, right, was a genius to stab TJ in the
lung with a needle.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Didn't he look not beat up?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You had lung surgery, not minor probably.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
How's your lung feels pretty good? Everything else feels great?
Uh it feels uh air tight?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Uh? Good? Good? Good? Yes, good good? Yes, airtight lungs
are desirable.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
This time of year, I found myself wondering, uh, you know,
and watching spoof after spoof and meme after meme of
Tyler Loup messing the field goal about the uh, like
the heels of games, paths that have been that were
like just not around during social media, that were spared
from being memed to death, Like I mean even vander Jack,
(08:06):
oh you know vander Jack Dennis north Cutt dropping that
third down conversion that would have ice the game the
Steelers Browns playoff game.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Oh, I forgot about that.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
One would have been so bad because a drop is
so it's like you touched it with both hands. Yeah,
and now it's on the ground and then what what
would he doing? Yeah? It's uh. And I guess what
I'm saying is we should go back in history and
we should beat all of them to death.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
It is a weird feeling, though, to watch on repeat
somebody else's worst moment ever, you know, like the worst
thing that's ever happened to Tyler Loop. I'm getting endless
enjoyment from like there it.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Goes up to the right again.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
We'll look at that, you know, It's like it'd be
like rewatching beheadings over and over, like back and they.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
There goes her head. We got her. What a glorious
day for all of us storming the steel. Watch it again,
Watch it again.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I don't get as much enjoyment out of watching Tyler
Loop as I do Lamar Jackson, because he's looking like
it's going in, like this is over, and then you
watch his body shift where his celebration stops.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
That I like a lot more.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
How about his postgame comments where they're like, do you
want John Harbaugh back?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
He's like, I haven't even taken off my gator. I don't.
I can't talk about it next year. I don't know.
I know we lost, we lost, right, Okay, fine, I'm stunne.
Oh yeah, he was done.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
He never takes off the gator though. I always think
that he's like that on a date. Old like horror
story about the girl that has like the green ribbon
around her neck, Like.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
If you take it off.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
His head just falls off.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
No, no, no, no, that's keeping it on. Leave the gator
on there. He apparently. They said, did you say anything
to Tyler Loop and Lamar Jackson said, well, no, no,
I didn't say anything about the field. Will When he
kicked the ball out of the bounds. I went over
and yelled at him, Oh good, Now you gotta be
(10:18):
in a good frame my mind, did you yeah, all right,
well yes he liked it.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Thank you, Lamar. Michael.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Have more than that coming up. Abby's got a news
update for you. Now, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Is this hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store.
Cloudy today with a high of forty seven, which is
actually yesterday's weather, and it's actually.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Today it is.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
It's rainy with high of forty nine. Flu cases are
surging across the United States, and health officials say that
a new strain may not be a perfect match for
current vaccines, so they emphasized that the shots should continue
to protect most people from the worst outcomes. Researchers say
that the flu season hasn't peaked yet, but the rise
in cases isn't out of the ordinary. Winter conditions are
(11:02):
helping viruses spread as people gather indoors and traveled for
the holidays. Northeast is already seeing a very big search. Hospitalizations,
er visits, and flu related deaths are all up, according
to the CDC, with the nation likely to hit peak
activity sometime in February.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
My mom has been sick since Christmas Day. She is
still sick and coughing and just miserable. And I feel
so bad for her. And I know a lot of
people that had that whatever she's got, they have the
same thing, and it was like two weeks long.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So she missed Christmas and.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Her birthday and New Year's And because her grandkids, two
of them are high risk, she's just been alone. I
feel so bad for her. We just keep calling her
and be like everything okay.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
She's like, yeah, yeah, you're not getting rid of them
all yet. I'm like, ah, all right.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I'll come bring you some soup. Nope, I'm fine, don't
worry about it. That'll be good. My did you see
Tyler miss that kick? That'll make you feel about it?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Can't stop watching it.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
This misery is the only thing that is bringing me joy.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Toss in a fisherman's friend and cue that one. Up
the fourth quarter again while you're at it. But no,
it's a drag, man. I feel bad for it. A
lot of her friends like, we're in the hospital with
whatever is going on. So this has been particularly tough
on the old people, you know, A every time I
heard news of this, you know, throughout the years, and
(12:28):
you hear like, oh it affects you know, young children
and older people more adversely, Yeah, you don't really think
of it until you know when your mom's going yep,
Judy's in you know, you're like, oh god, yeah, she's
losing majong partners all the time, you know what I mean.
So hopefully this this strain passes by quickly.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
By now you've probably seen a dozen or more articles
announcing that MTV has shut down its music channels. But
what most of those articles are conveniently ignoring. They're either
doing that out of ignorance or maybe a little bit
of clickbait, is that there are still MTV channels that
show videos in the US. So this shutdown effects MTV's
music channels in the UK, Australia, France, poll in Brazil
(13:13):
and other countries. But as of Sunday night, American videos
are still available on MTV Live and MTV Classic.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
That could change, but.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
There's no word if Paramount has plans to shut those down.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Obviously, the flagship.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
MTV channel doesn't seem to be going anywhere, so you
can still get your fill of Teen Moms and Jersey
Bros for the time being.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I never I mean, I'm old, so when MTV stopped
playing videos and just started focusing on shows. I mean
the last MTV shows that I really paid attention to
was Jersey Shores, Like, yeah, the years of that, and
then I know, ridiculousness kind of took everything over. But
I never watched the Teen Moms or any of that stuff.
It was very much for me, the glory years of MTV.
(13:57):
It was a life changing event. Like I was a
part of the generation that you know when you saw
like old movies and people like and then radio happened
and then everyone in the house was all sitting around
a radio listening to radio shows, and how much it
changed their life. That's what MTV did. I mean, I
think I was in fifth grade or something, and me
(14:20):
and all my friends would stay up watching MTV, just
watching MTV all night long. You would just couldn't wait
for the next video, didn't care if you saw the
same one eight times.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yeah, which in the early days you did.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, they weren't that many. It was like a two
hour loop or something. Well they had a little more
than that, but not a ton.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
But you got turned onto a lot of weird bands
and a lot of English bands because they're the ones
that were making videos. And then the impact of that
was so quickly apparent that all the record companies started
sinking money into making videos. And so that's when the
glory days of videos came up, where they were hiring
like directors and au tours to come in with their
own artistic vision and do these weird videos like the
(15:04):
Aha you know take on Me was very much on
the later end of the spectrum, but early on I
always think it must have been very funny. And there's
a book Jeff Concole told me about it, and I haven't
have it queued up to read about the making of
lots of those videos. And I know there were lots
of like archetypal pain in the ass, like egotistical artists
(15:27):
who were thought they were making Andy Warhol type high art.
And then you know in retrospect, it's like you directed
a Thompson Twins video. It wasn't that big of a deal.
But at the time, you know, they were like they thought.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They were making this huge cultural statement.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Oh yeah, and that it was there, you know, that
was going to be their their legacy.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, and it's like, well it's a Cyndi Laupper video.
It's yeah, it would be great, like big video. I'm
not going to hang in the louver in.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
The way of pop up video which I use to love,
which is on a v H one, But like I
always used to love learning all the little tidbits about
how the videos were made because they used to binge
them much like you. But it would be fun now to, like,
now that they've had time to let the hubris die
down and let that all settle, to go back to
(16:17):
those directors, make them narrate and watch the videos again
and just be like, what did you think this was actually.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Going to look like?
Speaker 5 (16:26):
But make like whoever directed the Toto video for Africa,
be like, what did you actually think that was going
to look like? And they're like standing over a gigantic
map with like a big book and everything, be like,
what was it supposed to look like and be like.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Well, what were you from the Billy Squire rocking in a.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Night video when you told him to roll in those
satin shit?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
What is that? Crawl around like a lion?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
And he had like three pasttel tanks on and he
kept ripping them off, And what exactly was your motivation?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You you're a gay? It was really much, very turned
on by him. Oh that makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Can I get it now? I see it.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
He's like, Okay, lick the air Billy, lick the air tiger.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Tiger, that's what he's doing. Is it's so funny. Didn't
ruin his ruined career, ruined him.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
But somehow the Separate Ways video, which is Happy Birthday
to the Separate Ways video was forty three years ago
yesterday that that video released, that did not ruin journey,
and it could have. It should have because they listened
to their video director who told them, pretend to play
your instruments and the keyboard. Guys like even me, And
(17:42):
he's like even you especially?
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Yeah, alright, no, no, no, we need you most of
all to be committed.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
The drummers like playing air drawn, you know, air base
and everything.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
It's a bad. Look, that's a bad video.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, it ruined the song because it's actually not that
bad of a song but an awesome song. But every
time you hear it, don't you think about them? Like
standing around like the wharf in San Francisco when they're
just playing the air and then Billy Squire crawls by
and licks.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
It cloudy today rain And I'm forty nine.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
All right, Mike's got your sports here coming up as
the Steelers are basking in the glow of the AFC
North Crown and they'll face the Houston Texans Monday night
football here in Pittsburgh. The wild Card game comes to Pittsburgh.
First home game we've had since the COVID years.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Wow, and what would what did you say? Yesterday?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Jacob was the last home game home playoff game we
had with people.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
Oh yeah, because of the COVID season twenty twenty, there
was no fans in the stands. So technically the last
game with the last home playoff game was the Jags
game back in the twenty seventeen twenty eighteen season, So
it's been eight years since a home playoff game with
a real home playoff at as well.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Oh and I'm telling you the crowd that was there
on Sunday night here at Akroscer Stadium. Everybody is going
to want to have their own experience like that. They're
going to want to recreate that exact seat. It's gonna
be nuts at Akrosher Stadium Monday night, Steelers Texans here
(19:32):
on DV.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
This is w DV Pittsburgh.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
Can you play the greatest fall.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
In the world for me only if you can dick it.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Let us know your lunch requests on our socials phone
or the talkback button on the iHeart radio app. You
picked this songs on the Electric Lunch at noon on DV.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
From the Sedon Hill University Weather Center. Schedule your campus
visit today. Just reported is sponsored by Positive Coaching Alliance.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
It's gonna be cloudy today with rain developing sports. I
just want to point out before I hand it over
to Mike that I did not make a big enough
deal about how badass of a performance Mike pursuit he
gave us yesterday, staying up all night Monday night doing
the post game show on Sunday into Monday, and then
(20:26):
getting no sleep and coming in here and doing the
four hour radio show.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
A little bit of sleep. Well I'm sure that's two hours. Yeah,
that's like a nap.
Speaker 10 (20:33):
The hard part is after I get done Monday, just
I do our show and then one of my other
ones that I added this year, which is a Monday
night TV show with Kinger and Matt Williams. Soon it's
called The Point After we take that at noon. So
I do that till one o'clock and then I drive
home and then I crash and then yeah, it's bad,
(20:55):
but you know we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Do it all over again on Monday nights. We are
maybe after that, I hope.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
So I don't know if you heard me at the open,
but I have enjoyed watching that miss field goal over
and over again.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Oh my god. I'm sure a lot of people are.
Speaker 10 (21:10):
You can't go on any social media platform without seeing
that Tad was saying with the Paraguayan calls. I mean,
there's just people's reactions and you know, fans doing fake
rage and breaking televisions or hugging you know, their significant
others or whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
But it was a moment.
Speaker 10 (21:30):
I mean that steels franchise has had a lot of them,
but that was one of them.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
That is way more than one one game. It was.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I know we live in the age of hyperbole, but
a lot of people were saying that is going to
go down is one of the greatest regular season games
of all time in terms of entertainment factor.
Speaker 10 (21:50):
I don't think there's any way it can't, and certainly
in that facility. It's one of the great games ever played,
no question. And then you throw the Ravens thing in
the that's what does it though, right state.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And that it just keeps getting elevated, right, the.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Fact that it's the Ravens waiting. Yeah, what was at stake?
Speaker 10 (22:08):
You know, if that would happen against Seattle, it would
have been like, oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yes, that was a good game. It was entertaining.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, but the history of the teams, the AFC North
Crown on the line, Lamar's legacy, two coaches whose future
was ostensibly to be determined by the outcome of that. Yeah,
that was the narrative. That wasn't It doesn't matter that
specter was in the air.
Speaker 10 (22:30):
Yeah, Well, but I mean Tomda wasn't going anywhere if
they lost that game.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I know, Harbu Might Harbor Might.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
Sports Saw brought to you by Pretti vill Plots. I
was thinking my top games at heinz Field slash Actresser Stadium.
I got four and I'm not sure the particular order. Well,
then you know five. Ted reminded me of that Cleveland
game you guys were talking about that.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I don't have a lot of good memory.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I mean of the first ten years of Actress of Heinesfield.
I think that might be alcohol related.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
Playoff game when they were way behind and they came
storm back to win the Packers game. I forget what
year it was, but the Steelers weren't going anywhere. Oh
my god that it became a shootout and Tomlin kicked
an on side kick when he had the lead because
he knew they couldn't stop the Packers. And the reasoning was, well,
if we don't get it, they'll just score quicker and
then we'll have time to score at the end. And
(23:21):
that's how it worked out. The Packers scored and then
Ben hit Mike Walla Mike Wallace on the corner twenty
yard pass.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Like like on the ground newsap. That was incredible.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (23:33):
And then of course THEFC Championship game against the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I mean that was the two thousand and nine when
the where Troy intercepts black Ow and takes it to
the house. The game that y Clark is in there again,
we just saw it was Emily in there and I'll
do you one better. A game that meant absolutely nothing,
but in terms of entertainment value, Steelers Ravens. The Duck
Hodges debut game when Mason got his face mask removed
(23:58):
and he looked like the Spaceballs guy. The cart didn't
work and they had to help him off the field
after he valiantly hung in there on that throw.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
By the way, he doesn't get enough credit. I'm smack
him in the mouth.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Brutal that game, Juju dropped what would have won the game,
fumbled fumble in overtime, caught it pass from Hodges now bumble.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Game was so fun and we lost.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
But I mean, in terms of entertainment Steelers Ravens, that
that one brought it not quite like what we just
saw on Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Mike, and I think that.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
The terrifying factor of the ending because everybody thought they
were gonna lose when Likely caught the ball yes, probably
eyody thought they were gonna lose some possible missed the
extra point I did, and then the forty two yard
kickoff return kind of confirmed that. Yes, it's like, okay,
these guys need twelve yards and just things over and
uh it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
What we didn't have the benefit of knowing was that
Lamar Jackson had already screamed at their kicker for kicking
it out of bounce and gotten into his head that
rightly so until you know.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
We're not gonna need you later, So I'm gonna mess
with you now. Don't never do that again.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Although Sports of Subs brought to you by Bridge Phil Plintz,
speaking of their kicker, are you being sympathetic to him?
You know, you have some humanity and some compassion.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I don't know how you don't have a little bit,
just a little bit.
Speaker 10 (25:11):
It's funny. He's not the first rookie kicker to go
through this. In fact, he's in a long line of
rookie kickers. I mentioned yesterday Tyler Lup had been twenty
nine for twenty nine from shorter than fifty yards this year,
hadn't missed. He was one for four from fifty plus
twenty nine for twenty nine, closer than fifty. But according
to NFL research since two thousand, rookie or first year
(25:35):
kickers are twelve for twenty five on field goal attempts
when their team is down by one to three points
with ten seconds or less. Formading, Yeah, there's just no
way to prepare for it, right, and you know, maybe
you get that first one through and you're okay, maybe
you don't. Now you got to deal with it and
(25:55):
you got to rise above it. So he's not the
first guy to have that happen to him. I mean,
that's the thing about having a rookie kicker, and that's
you know, you also mentioned everybody was raving about the
Ravens and you know how much preseason hype they got.
People that were doing that didn't remember what a factor
Justin Tucker was. For now, there was a time where
he was automatic from like the fifty yard lining in
(26:18):
and they had such an advantage because of that. Hardball
played to that and they just, oh my god, they
get the ball to thirty eight, two first downs, they
got a field goal, and then they're playing from ahead
and then they're adding the leads or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
They don't have that anymore. Yeah, you know, might have that.
It's Jacksonville. That guy's ridiculous, Sam Little seventy.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yeah, and preseason he has the longest field goal ever
and the second longest field goal ever in the NFL
sixty eight and sixty seven.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Wow, I'm just just.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Starting to think about the postseason and you know, get
into it. I mean, I'm gonna watch some Texans games today,
and you're.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So right about the Tucker thing. You're so right about
the Tucker thing.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
He can't just remove a guy who's a historically good
element and then say, Okay, well let's just get another one.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Doesn't work that way, now, you know, like what happened
to the Lions.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
You should have lost two good coordinators off their stats,
then John become head coach and Aaron who's a.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Terrible he coach.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
But you don't just okay, plug another guy in and
keep rolling. Like those are significant deletions. I think Jacksonville
is gonna be a little scary.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Uh I.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I don't disagree with you, and I think their coaches
is the big reason why. And they do have that weapon. Look,
Tomlin plays to the fact that he's got boswell. He
relies on Bos. I mean I think he leaves Boz
hanging on stuff a little too often in terms of like, no,
we'll be five, it's fifty seven yard and we'll be fine. Like,
I don't think he tries to help Boz out very much.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
They did that in the Jets game. What do he
bang of sixty yard in that game to win it?
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, Like he's not too worried about him from down down,
he may want to start.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I completely agree. The last few games.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Three games in a row, he's missed a kick. He's
not hitting the ball. Well, it's like again, you know
they will draw the parallel to golfing. It's like you're
just hitting the ball, not right.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
He's not hitting the ball right.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
Based on the most recent occurrences, they will not have
the kicking advantage agreed unless the field the home field.
Maybe Ky Fairburn has used to better conditions in Houston
than you get, but this place isn't what it used
to be in terms of a horror venue for kickers.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Well, don't forget. We have God on our side. We
we will that holy water is going to be the
uprights will be doused in it. I'm being told, wonder,
what do you do after that, like, what's next? You
sprinkles some holy water? What's what's next in the progression?
I know, I'm not sure. I mean, that's that's about
(28:54):
Catholic you should know this. Yeah, well, I think the
next thing is like, if that doesn't work, you are
kind of you know, you have to get into like
the more papal type of interferences.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
As a Catholic, I can say that if it doesn't work,
the move is for everyone to feel really.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Bad and blame each other. Definitely, yes, yeah, guilt guilty.
That probably won't be a stretch.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
No, no, no, but that the good feelings that are
abounding right now, it's it's a joy to behold.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
I think it's it feels like they accomplished something, doesn't
it They did, and they haven't in people's minds in
a long time.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Ten wins. A lot of people did not have them
getting near that.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Ten wins, winning the division, which they hadn't done since
twenty twenty, and ending Baltimore season on one kick.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Well, like you said, though Boswell makes that kick, you know,
it's like, you know, they.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
That's why I wasn't lucky.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
It just worked out the way it worked out to
your point about how well they played twenty four first
downs to twelve, three hundred and ninety yards to three
hundred and fifty nine. I thought they smacked them fifty
six percent on third down to thirty three percent. Time
of possession was thirty four to eleven to twenty five
forty nine. Even the rushing was relatively close. Henry went
(30:14):
off in the first quarter and a half and then
they shut him off like they didn't just contain him
in the second half. Was five carries for fourteen yards.
He was a non factor in the game. But I
got to give Baltimore a lot of credit for pulling
spectacular splash plays out of its ass when it needed to.
Oh my god, for those those are equalizers. If not
(30:35):
you know game Steelers.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
The fourth down conversions for two of them for touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yeah, it's hard to uh say, like all the Ravens
weren't that good, because they did come up with some
incredible plays, but they were huge defensive breakdowns by the
Steelers in those cases.
Speaker 10 (30:56):
And kind of more miscalculations than breakdowns. They just played
short and the Ravens threw long and one played the
scramble play. I mean they didn't line up, Patrick Queen
on Flowers. It's just that, Yes, it was a sack drill.
You know, the guys go short and the short guys
go long and the quarterback just has to find one
(31:16):
and they just that was Baltimore making them play out of.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
A bad situation, right, I mean credit to them, right, right.
That's a chess move. That's not blown coverage. Does a
Flowers one look like blown coverage?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Though?
Speaker 10 (31:26):
Maybe the second one? Yeah, the sixty and then the
one Ramsey just came up. And the first one, Ramsey
just came up and played the sticks and the guy
went deep. But you know it was third and yeah,
eight or something like that. Sometimes you gotta go for it.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I'm still basking in the glow of Steelers twenty six
Ravens twenty four.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Abbey'll have your news coming up at the top of
the hour.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
We are going to talk a little more about Tyler
Luke because somebody's go to teach him to turn off
comments on his engagement photo with.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Some mistackles from the weekend.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
For you when we come back, stories to slip through
our fingers is we were just elited all day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yeah, it's like a past. Isaiah likely.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Just just trickled right off there before we got the
third foot down.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
A streaming at V dot com, on the iHeartRadio app and.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
All your smart devices. This is one O two point
five dv E better call SI.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Did a truck driver's feeding cause a wreck? Did you
get re erect? Our producer misstackle segment. Each week, we
like to go through some of the stories that slipped
through our fingers while we were solely focused on your
AFC North champion Pittsburgh Steelers. One of those is from
their rival, the Ravens. Post game, Lamar Jackson was asked
(32:44):
about the Ravens' future and whether he'll be there and
whether he thinks Harbaugh should be there, and uh, Lamar
is still stunned. He just it's like he just got
off the tilta whirl and he does not know where
the center is.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
He is still trying to get his feet on the
ground here. But the more, we're not.
Speaker 10 (33:04):
Sure when we're gonna be able to talk to you
next after this this offseason, there's a lot of questions
about your contract, your salary cap number.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Do you do you feel you'll you'll be back as
the Rings quarterback? In the season.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
I'm we just lost a game, you know, a divisional game,
you know, a game to put us in the playoffs.
I'm not even thinking about that right now, to be
honest with you, I'm still caught up in what just happened.
You know, that's not my focus right now.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
A lot a lot of questions felt our walls future
as well.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
Do you do you do you want to see John?
Speaker 9 (33:38):
That's you you asked me about next year, Jamie say like,
I'm so caught up in what just happened tonight.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I can't. I can't focus on that right now.
Speaker 9 (33:46):
I just told you, like he asked me, are you stunning,
I'm stunning right now, and I'm still trying to process
what's going on.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Like, I know, we lost, but you know that's all.
This is Pittsburgh, right I'm on Earth. I'm just trying
to give him a feet Terra farmer here.
Speaker 10 (34:04):
It's interesting to ask him about the coach and he goes,
I can't talk about that right now, which sort of
leaves it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, well you think they'll they'll ask him, of course.
I want John back. Yeah, very simple, very simple, like
even the lines. I saw the kid miss the field goal.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
Look good.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
You know, Yeah, let's run it back next year. We
can't close, we'll do better.
Speaker 10 (34:23):
Maybe we won't trade our best pass rusher for frigging safety.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
In the middle of the season.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
They asked Lamar, like, like before the draft, Well, how
about now?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
What do you think about yourself? I'm still thinking about Pittsburgh.
I don't how what happened?
Speaker 3 (34:38):
We lost that game, right, Jamar Chase, this is a
lot of AFC North people being butt hurt. Jamar Chase
asked if he had confidence in coach Zach Taylor.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I am very confident in myself. I'm confident and the
places they call for me to get.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Open when it's it starts with the longing.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
What's my lie here?
Speaker 3 (35:09):
It's like, if you propose to somebody and you're on
one knee, will you marry me?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I just had a lobster. I don't know. I can't
deal with that. Right now, you're asking me about the future.
I'm still trying to figure out what just happened at
that dinner. Uh So, what is Jamar Chase gonna do?
Speaker 12 (35:28):
I'm gonna go to Kantcoon like everybody except me to do,
and I'm going to enjoy myself and I'm I don't
have nothing else to do, so.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
He's got nothing else myself there.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Yeah, that's the popular internet troll right head to Cancun,
which they go to much nicer places than can't.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Cut a little plane and watch it fly.
Speaker 10 (35:45):
Yeah, Taylor's coming back, by the way, that's already confirmed.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:51):
Mike Brown made an announcement yesterday the coach in the
GM and sence you're staying and.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
How does Cleveland fire the coach but not the GM.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
Because Cleveland has not known what it's doing since nineteen
ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
And to that point.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Here was the owner yesterday, Jimmy Haslam talking to the fans,
and boy, he is pissed.
Speaker 13 (36:09):
And I want you to hear this. Okay. First of all,
ownership takes full responsibility for where we are. To win
eight games in two years is horrible. It's totally unacceptable, Okay,
and it's not going to continue, okay, And I want
the fans to know we are as frustrated as you are.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
I mean, even though he starts by saying they're taking
full responsibility.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I think they made a billion bucks or so. I
don't think is the stadium coming.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Yeah, it kind of feels like the Tim Robinson sketch
where he's wearing the hot dog suit and the hot
dog cars crashed into the to the store and he's going.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
We're all just trying to figure out who did this.
It's you, Jimmy, it's you. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (36:51):
I gotta say Brown's fans are amazing. I agree that
they keep showing up for that bleep show.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
If the Browns fans weren't amazing, it wouldn't be fun
like the you know, the rivalry, even though it's been
taken down in Tire, it's in Pittsburgh and replaced with
the Ravens rivalry for the last twenty five years.
Speaker 10 (37:11):
If they would get good again, it would fast forward
in a heartbeat right to where it used to be.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
All of those AFC North matchupsling, Yes, that's the one.
They're all on a burner and some of them get
really hot. I mean, look, the Bengals and the Steelers
had ten years there. I mean Ben described at that
one time as like there is the rivalry between the
Steelers and the Ravens, which is like they respect each other,
(37:40):
but but but there's hatred there. And he described the
Bengals rivalry as like No, that's a street fight back, man.
It's it's just hate, yea. They just hate each other
in your shoes, rible, no respect at all. And Cleveland
is just such a mess. It's like each other. No,
(38:02):
it's never that. So here's another one. People were sending
this to me yesterday, the Ravens radio broadcast of the
Tyler Loop missed field goal. Like you know, Tad, here's
another one you get to listen to. Not quite as
fun as the NFL Paraguay radio play by play, but
(38:23):
Rod Woodson is the color analyst for the Ravens.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Former Steeler.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
He's got a foot in both nations, all right, but
he did win a championship with the Ravens. Some people
are speculating that because he was back in Pittsburgh that
he got his Steeler love back and kind of was
rooting the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Listen to this play by play of the missed field goal.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Tell me if you think he is exclaiming in happiness
or in disgust. Nick Moore will have the snap, Jordan
Stout will have a hole il loop from forty four
yards season.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
On the line. Loops kick is on the way.
Speaker 13 (39:05):
It is.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
No good little joy in there.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
He missed it. I've discussed started to come around. At first,
I thought it was just surprised at first he missed it.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
I saw him before the game a little bit, and
then he's doing radio for the Ravens color analysts, and
you were up in the radio and we're doing the
postgame and we have Max starks On at the start
of the show, Charlie Batch and I. So he came
in and he was on his way out, stuck his
head and when we were in commercial and he was
shaking hands and you know.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Just be ysing with everybody.
Speaker 10 (39:38):
I asked him if it was weird for him to
come back here for a game like that, and he
said kinda, because he does have ties to both organizations.
He'd loved being a Steeler, but he won his Super
Bowl in Baltimore. And he said, the way I deal
with it is I just look at it like, hey,
I get to work a game and it's a great game.
You know this is going to be epic because we
were talking about this before the game. But that's got
(40:00):
to be hard for him. If he had not gone
to the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
I just think that he would be so much more
beloved here and not that he's not, but his name
doesn't get thrown around as often as it should.
Speaker 10 (40:10):
I go back to the nineteen eighty six the last
three games of the nineteen eighty six seasons when I
started covering the Steelers for the Beaver County Times, and
he came in nineteen eighty seven, So I missed Joe
Green as a player. Joe Green is clearly number one
in franchise history. Everybody else is behind him. Woodson's the
(40:31):
greatest player I ever saw in a professional capacity.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
We're covering stas teams. I mean, that's quite a statement,
and it's not particularly close.
Speaker 10 (40:40):
Wow, Kickerturner, he could have played any position he went. Yeah,
it was just just that, just a total freak athlete. Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Abby's got your news When we came back, Abby, what
are you going to be talking about?
Speaker 5 (40:54):
We are going to talk a little more about Tyler Loup.
Somebody has to teach him how to turn off comments
on his game photopor thing.

four o'clock start to that pregame for an eight to

The Steelers claimed their first AFC North Division titles Sunday night,
defeating the Baltimore Ravens twenty six to twenty four and
a thriller.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
On the defensive side of the ball, Cam.
Speaker 12 (41:32):
Hayward was everywhere, leading the team with seven tackles and
consistently blowing up the Ravens offensive line on basically every play.
Oh yeah, he also served as the pusher during the
Steelers Steel City Shove package on offense, taking over Darnell
Washington's role and pushing his younger brother Connor's tush over
the goal line for the Steelers first touchdown of the game.
There was truly nothing Captain Cam wasn't willing to do
(41:54):
as he helped guide the Steelers to their tenth AFC
North Division title since the division became a thing in
two The h two Aaron Rodgers led the way with
two hundred and ninety four passing yards for the Steelers offense,
a season high for the MVP quarterback, eclipsing his previous
season high, which he also achieved against Baltimore back in
Week fourteen. Next up for Pittsburgh, they welcome to Houston,
(42:15):
Texas to town for their first home wild Card game
since twenty twenty and their first in front of a
home crowd since twenty seventeen.
