Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the Mark Madden shoke. Follow me on Twitter at
Mark Madden. Next, the Penglins defensive cord did fine, because
it ain't great. The Athletic ranks the Penguins defenseman as
the worst in the league, dead last thirty second out
of thirty two, zero point zero. But it did okay.
(00:26):
But it's only one game. We talked out of Tommy
Radio tom the Sid line was quiet. Raquel had four shots.
But like I said yesterday, it's a one line team
right now, and that's gonna be hard matchups for Sid's line.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Absolutely, and other people stepped up further down the lineup,
and we talked about this yesterday, Mark, Like, you know,
going into the season, you want to get those bottom
five odds, top five odds, finish in the bottom five,
but in the moment, you want to win the game.
And boy was it's so fun to just beat the
Rangers last night.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Right for the draft, I mean wishing, you know, low
enough to get a top five pick, should still.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Be the number one priority. It's always fun to win
on the day.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
And the Rangers crowds are booing the Rangers after the game.
It's game one f them.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
No, no, they might be onto something. Yeah, I don't
think that team's very good. Feel bad for Vince and JT,
but I don't think that team is very good. And yeah,
on the day you have a fans perspective, you definitely
want to win. And I'm not denigrating Sid's game at
all because over two hundred feet Sid was the best
(01:33):
guy on the ice. He dominated the puck don low
and when the Penguins had to lead, the Sid line
would like just possess the puck don low for a
shift and just chip away at the clock.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Sid was a monster last night despite not showing up
on the score sheet. And you know, even though you're right,
they're gonna draw the toughest matchup every game because they're
a one line team, that line will still produce against
a tough matchup because in a vacuum like that's one
of the best lines in when it's healthy. Riquel slash Rusty.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And said, I think that's an overreaction bit because Sid's.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
On the line and Raquel scored thirty goals last year.
I guess he drops down though when rust comes back,
But Rusty's capable of putting the puckage.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I don't know the word I hear is is going
to be Russ, Raquel and Sid, which would be a mistake.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
You gotta keep Covening up there.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well, here's my fear, I like Malcolm between the two
six foot five wingers, that every guy in the line
six foot five. You can't play Coyan on the third line.
Coyven has to play with Sid. Not playing Coyvenant with
Sid to develop coven In would be coaching malpractice and
looking away from what the goals of this team are.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
However, whispered, Well.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Let me ask you this, then, do you think Ben
Kendall only has eight games left still or was there
enough in that one game that you were thinking about
maybe he stays.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I for sure can't judge by based.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
On one game. But there's a chance, right, there's a
chance that he stays on the Penguins for twenty five,
twenty six.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What are you dumb and dumber?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I mean, I mean, I guess, yeah, but I'm good.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But when all them guys come back from the injured list, No,
he's going back.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He'll go back down.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, maybe soon.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Where I was going with that is because it sounded
like you wanted to keep the big boys with Gino.
Where do you put Rust when he's back if you
keep her calling covenan on?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So no, I'm not saying I do want to keep
the big boys with Gino. I I just think that
Covenant has to play with Sid.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That's my first in assembling that the lines.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I was gonna say, throw Rust on the third line
with Kendall for a little bit. See how that goes.
Give Kendall a really good winger to play with. I
think when Russ comes back, Kendall's gone. But we shall see. Now,
Shiloffs got the shutout. He was never really under siege,
was he. It felt more like a team shutout than
a goalie shutout.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
With all due respect to the Shilloffs.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, he still made the saves, and that's been missing
from Tristan Jarry's game so often. Right, he made the
first save big time there. But I feel like there
were times over the past couple year where the Penguins
played a game like this where they were really good
in front of Jarry and made it easy on him,
and he just gave up a really easy goal, no.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No question, and then their resolve weekend because it's a
bad goal. So yeah, no, I would you start shill
Off tomorrow night in home opener. I don't think it's
even a question.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I think they should. I'm not sure they will see.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I think Damn mus is a bit different. He likes
kind of you know, going the other way on things.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Well, we're gonna see, because that's a decision that shows
if he is indeed a bit different. Because let me
tell you, Jars will get the boo boo face for
sure if he doesn't start two games in a row.
And then what if you win Thursday, you got the
day off Friday, you're at home again Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Do you come back to Shilloffs.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Then you don't have a back to back game in
a long time.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I know Jarry will play before then, but you're not
gonna have to force him into the next.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
If you're serious about making the playoffs and doing things different,
then Shilloffs plays three loses. That was the rotation with
the Bruins when ej and Jerry cheevers and they were
two really good goalies, like like in the sixties and seventies,
you played to you lost.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, this isn't them, but I feel you on that.
Why not go that way? And I don't know, I
mean MWS has no attachment to Jarry whatsoever. I mean,
he was at least there when Selos came in, you
know what I mean though, Like he was there in
the room when they signed Sea Lovs. So I'm sure
he's yeah, traded for him. I'm sorry, So I'm sure
he was, like, Yeah, I like this guy. Sullivan was
attached to Jarry the locker room. You've said it a lot.
(05:04):
The veterans like Jarry. They think he's still pretty good.
So it's good to have a coach in there that
probably just looks at him like, no, you're not for me.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Here's some justin is it Brazo or Brazil. I guess
it's Brazo. I like saying brass the porn thing.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, here's some facts on him.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
He six' five sixteen CAREER nhl goals well now. Eighteen
played JUNIOR a for The North Bay battalion In, ontario
which is a pretty good.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Name but his bio was not.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
EXTENSIVE i, like when he, scored we had a first goal,
thing like if you scored the first goal at my
viewing party At Pittsburgh Brooke. Company yet like we had
slips like a. Raffle, yeah and LIKE i when he
scored the, GOAL i, SAID i was on, MIC i,
Said i'm still not.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Sure who he.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Is those at my school, Though gino kind, of you,
know twisted through the face off forward with the puck
and Fed. Braso it. Was it was very quick and.
Simple gino played, awesome how lot of. Jump here's the
thing with.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It in a different look with the two big.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah the thing with him, though Is i've seen this
before in the past couple of. Years do you, know
usually starts pretty. Well it's when you get into the
dog days of the season That gino's legs can get
a little.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Heavy, NOW i thought The penguins were Magnificently. Vanilla it's
a three nil, win but not with a ton of discussion.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Points, no and it was really one, nil, RIGHT i
mean those two empty neck goals and The rangers didn't
even put up a fight when they pulled the. Goalie
did you think soly Pulled igor a little?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Early that's the trend Now you're seeing goalways get pulled
with like four minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Left, now even with just one goal. DEFICIT i, thought.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
No, no, no, yeah, yeah you just want to give
yourself the Long, yes, YES i GUESS i thought it
might have been a touch too early for, him but
they had no chance with the extra attack Or penguin
shut it down real quick With brassers second.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Goal SO i like how you said it was vanilla
in the best, way OR i don't know how you phrase,
that but it's just significently. Vanilla you just needed. That
and sometimes vanilla is the best, flavor and that's exactly
what The penguins have been missing for so. Long it's
just that vanil meat and potatoes type of. PERFORMANCE i
do like calling them.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Brawsers we're gonna stick with.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
That, yes The islanders ain't ain't great for the home
opener tomorrow. Night The penguins could have a playoff spot
wrapped up by the.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Weekend, WELL i mean you were kind of, JOKING i
think when we were leading up to the, season but
you were, like what if they start eight and? ONE i, mean.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
They're gonna start eight, one but they could start they
could start two and one or three and, oh because
The New york teams aren't, good they play The rangers
again here On, saturday.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And then you gotta go out. West so Out west
could really tell a tale and you can maybe lose
some momentum. There do you expect The ducks to be
that great Under? QUINNVILLE i expect to be. Better they
got some up and coming players as. Well The kings are.
Good The sharks are up and coming from terrible last.
NIGHT i got home and watched that game killed. Them they're, good,
THOUGH i mean they're a good hockey. Team The sharks
(07:47):
are up and coming, two but they're nothing. SPECIAL i
think it's not a tough schedule to start the season
for The.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Pens, well, no every game's tough for The. Penguins let's
not get two fooled by. Reaction although The, rangers The,
RANGERS i knew they'd be. Bad they look the blah
except for Zabina, jad who had seven. Shots it says
here you didn't notice the range of stars They they
didn't do. Nothing LIKE i, Said hilloffs was never under.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Siege egor was good, too BECAUSE i Think igor had
to make some red. Saves yeah, Yeah but other Than
igor And, zabinajad there was just nothing for the no
jump for such a big game. Too write your first
game With sullivan as your head. Coach it's the one
hundredth year of The New York. Rangers you're AT. Msg
you have those cool jerseys like it's one hundredth years
(08:30):
and that's what it said on the. Jersey, yeah just
nothing though from the team for that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
One hundred years and they've won one cup Since World War.
Two dear, god what what a what a what a
tradition they've. Established, Uh egor's are really good. Going like
a couple of those saves he made glove. Saves you
know WHAT i noticed BECAUSE I ej taught me a
lot about how to set, up like actually watching and
Critiquing jari over the last couple of, Years egor made
a couple glove saves where his glove was like way
(08:55):
out in front of. Him you cut down the angle
with your, glove even for that. Spot it's important to do.
That he is just so buttoned up as a.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Goalie in a league that is so devoid of truly elite.
GOALIES i think you'd agree he's one of. Them it's
kind of a waste for The rangers to be as.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That as as close to an elite goalie as there,
Is i'm not sure there is a truly elite goalie not.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Him duck the last GUY i would put.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Like you know anywhere near the dryden uh burdour Wah.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Hashak category was Vast levski in his prime In. Tampa
it's kind of fading a, bit a little, bit.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
LIKE i could see them making a run in these
playoffs with him picking his game back up just a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Because The east.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Stinks but it's a little bit of a waste of
igor when you look at The rangers and a window
that he provides for.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Them he don't carries here to get paid and he
is one oh five NINETY.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
X Spirits Summer new it's The mark.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
ONE.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
DX i know a lot of you THINK i hate The,
steelers AND i.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Do a lot of the time because of stuff like.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
THIS i hate this formation they're using offensively With Mount
washington a tight end and the extra Tackle Spencer. Anderson
that's essentially using seven offensive linemen and they're doing a
lots And i've been told it's not opponents, specific they
(10:26):
just like doing it because it Protects. Rogers but it
deprives rogers the targets. Too and what would make these
moron Stink Tomlin smith the whole, Organization what would make
these idiots stink that that formation works Against buffalo in
a big, game even works Against indian a big. Game
(10:49):
what makes them think that works when they get behind
by more than one score in any? Game it's, prehistoric it's,
idiotic it's small time. Thinking it's why they can never
go past good to being good. Enough AND i could be,
wrong But i'm. Not we'll talk more about that. Later right,
(11:10):
NOW i want to talk About Jerry jones flipped off
The New York jets fans and got fined two hundred
and fifty. K, Tom he's an, old, rich white. Dude
two hundred and fifty k is butt white money to.
HIM i know he explained that he was trying to
give a thumbs, up which is just a bold faced.
Lie but two hundred and fifty. K that that Amuses Jerry.
(11:31):
Jones that kind of money means.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Nothing saying that you wanted to give the thumbs up
is just leaning into your age and using it for your. Benefit,
Oh i'm just an old. MAN i put up the wrong.
FINGER i had no idea WHAT i was. Doing, yeah
that mean that's a drop in the bucket for. Him
he's not even gonna see that money leave his bank.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Account, well not to be fear his mismanagement of The
cowboys does somewhat justify him using senility as an.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Excuse he's been pretty bad. There if they would have
just Kept Michael parsons, mark they're not a bad team this.
Year like they're a legitimate. CONTENDER i think in THE,
nfc you know.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Who's helping him a lot Is George, pickens who the
students traded for a third. Pick but that will, last
it'll blow. Up he was fine here for a while.
Too it was never going to work with him. Here
Whether seat and hiber can get a better handle on
it Than tomlin, DID i don't, know but that's what.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Would have to.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
HAPPEN i think it's just a good. Start they're in
the honeymoon phase right. Now he does have a better
quarterback than he's ever. Had that absolutely plays into. It
With Dak prescott throwing in the ball and now With Ceede,
Lamhert dak's literally only throwing him the. Ball BUT i
just don't see it lasting a full.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Season WHENEVER i See pickings with like the hoodie pulled
down over his, HEAD i want to go up and
see IF i can get a Teenth uh breaking bad. Talk,
okay what do we there was a development with the
guy dropping the.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Ball, yeah The amari De marcado back from The cardinals
dropped that he had an interception re turned seventy two
yard touchdown against The, titans dropped it at the goal
line because.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
He was trying to do the cool celebration with. You
that's a celebration over the line and you drop the.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Ball no one.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Thinks it's cool, Though but the, Coach no one thinks.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
It's cool when you drop the ball early and you
cost your team a touchdown and you lose to a
god crap team by one.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Exactly and the, Coach Jonathan, gannon he goes over to
the sidelines and he's given it to the, guy and
at first he kind of gives him, like well he.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Should.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah at first he kind of gives him like a
little bit of a push in the chest, right like
kind of a, fingertap like wake, up what are you?
Doing something like. THAT i don't know what he. Said
then he's yelling at, him yelling at, him and then
as he, leaves he kind of gives him like a
big wind up in a slap on his chest, pads you,
know his shoulder pad. Area he gets fined one hundred
thousand dollars by the.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Team for the team find the guy who. Anything, No,
okay well they you know what they just. Did they
just surrendered control of the team to the.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Players, well the thing that they're latching onto is you
can't lay your hands on a place that half.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
That he gave a little.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
SLAP i saw it just kind of you, know did
it did a rap on his?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Pads haf.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
That it wasn't like he was the coach in Varsity, blues.
Right it wasn't like he was knocking these guys. Around
it wasn't like he was grabbing face masks and. Snapping
next he grabbed face, mask he choked mocks and it's
not like that happened he hit.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Him i'd have gone full what was the coach's, name
uh in varsity put he have gone Full Bud.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Kilmer, okay every game BEFORE i charge every time before
The chargers Played Jim. Harbaugh like the. Psychopath he just
goes up To Justin herbert and slaps his shoulder pads
as hard as possible to pump him up as hard
or harder Than gannon, does just Because gannon did, it
because he was yelling at the.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Guy it shows the candy ass nature the entire world
of how football has just. Degenerated they turned control of
the team over to the players when they cut the
coaches nuts off by finding him for doing what coaches.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Have always done and put yourself in the players.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Shop If I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Gann AND i, say, Listen i'm not paying the. Fine
if you take the fine out of my, Paycheck i'm just.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Done.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well if You're i'd have enough pride to do.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That if You're, DeMarcus i.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Really needed the, money WHICH i assume he.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Does if you're the player who did, this the running
backer did, this would you rather coach, yell let you
to chew you, out slap your pads a little, bit
and then keep you on the, team or would you
rather just cut?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
You you know, What i'd Know i've ever. Gannon i'd
show up at. Practices, okay you, guys do whatever you.
Want i'm gonna be over, here just like roll the ball.
Out i'd like read a, book like on the bench
on the. Sideline you guys are in. Charge do what you.
WANT i wouldn't blame, him AND i WOULD i would
give them one hundred thousand dollars less of coaching this.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
WEEK i also might say to the team to, okay,
fine you're gonna find one hundred thousand. Dolls i'm cutting.
Him then he's not on the team anymore, either but
they wont wouldn't let him do. That THEN i leave
right then that's the ground that you have because he's
the coach of The.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
CARDINALS i backtracked about quitting as soon AS i said,
that because you, know there's only thirty two jobs like that.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Exactly he's the coach of The. Cardinals it is just
it is.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Just the most.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Ludicrous IF i hadn't already mapped out the list, Here,
TOM i would put. This i'll do it right. Now
that guy just made the list a list early. TODAY
i don't know who that guy. IS i guess it's
The cardinals owner is who?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Mars you, know there's all marks look at.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
LIKE i Bet shandor gets in There sunday because Uh
haslim In cleveland wanted to Draft, shador wants to Play,
shador AND i think Trading flacco was a way to
Get shador closer to the. Field AND i think he's
told Uh, stefanski who's a great.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
COACH i think he's told. Him If Gabriel FALTERS i
want to see in.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
There, YEAH i think there's a lot Of haslam putting his.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Fingers Gabriel, FALTERS i too want to See shador in.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
There he's but not for the same.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Reason he's heavily involved haslm the owner In. CLEVELAND i
think that's. Clear can't imagine That stefanski Love he ruined the.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
TEAM i mean he was the brains or a lack
thereof behind the dashun.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Thing you Think stefanski would have Kept, Baker, YES i
think he would. Have, Yes he's such a good quarterback.
Guy he had to see the talent there and understand
guy had a hurt shoulder for most of the season
and still gutted it. Out there's no reason to cut.
PAID i think he Had odell. Yappin forget About, odell
get rid Of. ODELL i think that. Did he knew
he was onto something with. Bag it's played out In.
(17:01):
Tampa you Know baker right. Now you got guys on
on What Lewis riddick. Said Daniel jones should BE.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Mvp he's got no, chance but he should be in
the conversation, Probably but there are people saying That baker
is the favorite right.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Now and you know what of the of the usual,
names like you.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Know, mahomes et, Cetera, Burrows, Hurt alan's still right, there he,
is but a lot of the usual names have receded
in terms of, performance and that puts guys Like baker
in the legit.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Conversation, yeah Like lamar And mahomes are out of the.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Equation.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Uh baker And, GOTH i, think are the two guys
that are leading, it and you never think that they
would win AN. Mvp and you've often, SAID i just
don't see the league Giving Baker mayfield AN. Mvp you
have a bet down on, it, Though, mark and you gotta,
love you gotta love seeing the campaign start right because
if a guy Like baker is gonna win, it you
need that kind of national media campaign starting, early being
like he's THE. Mvp he's THE, mvp and it just
(17:51):
kind of drills into everybody's.

(19:47):
my watch party At Pittsburgh Brewing company In. Creighton To Rebecca,
ron to everybody involved with setting it up as, well
over one hundred and fifty. People just a great group turning.
Up New York yankees send their division series With toronto
and The renegade got the five out save he was
(20:07):
sweating buckets by the, end but he got the job.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Done David, BEDNER i love.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
It what a run for him in The Big apple
don't mind The maggots two saves in the, postseason Seattlebeat
detroit leads that series two games to.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
One, tom you got Some steeler? Stuff what do you?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Got?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
YEAH i want to talk About Dylan gabriel for a little.
Bit mark in a weird way now That i'm kind
of wrapping my head around this game coming up On,
SUNDAY i think it's actually not a good thing for
The steelers That flacco got benched and they have to Face.
Gabriel gabriel might be a slight upgrade right now to
What Joe flacco has been bringing to the, TABLE.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I, think and this kind of harkens back to what
we've been saying about The. PENGUINS i think With gabriel
was starting quarterback on top of four other rookie, starting
that team has that kid energy and the veterans get
more buttoned up because they don't want, to you, know
give the wrong impression of the.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Kid they don't want to teach the kids how'm lock to.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
PLAY i think that's lesser in football than it is in,
hockey BUT i think it.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Exists don't get me. Wrong if The browns somehow beat The,
steelers WHICH i do not think they will On, Sunday
but if they are going, to it's going to be
on the back Of judkins out of the, backfield and
their defense is going to play lights out against The steelers'.
Offense But gabriel can move more Than, flacco and that's
hurt The. Steelers, Now gabriel's not going to run like
May Or fields, does But gabriel is going to extend
drives with his. Legs he's going to take five ten
(21:28):
yards if you give it to. Him So i'm a
little nervous about. That And flacca was turning the ball
over like. Crazy gabriel all characteristically. Right gabriel never really
did that in. College he's twenty five years, old As
Mike toman pointed out, yesterday AND i just think he's
going to actually be more conservative to keep the.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
JOB i think he's a challenge for The.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
STEELERS i think his, mobility if nothing, off provides that
and Coach einstein will find a way to keep the
game within one. Score and when the games wil did one,
score it's a crapshoot and that's how you. Lose the bad,
teams like just initiating those rock fights like the week
eighteen game last year against The.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Bengals that plays right into The browns hands. Too of,
course if you get into a rock fight with, them they.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Are gonna come here thinking they can make a fist of.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
IT i think they think that at every. GAME i
think they're a well coached. TEAM i don't think. That
as we pointed, out that is the one team other
than The steelers that looks like they're actually putting up
a fight in THE Afc north right, now that looks
like they haven't. Quit, now maybe The bengals will revive themselves.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
With Flat, well don't, Worry, tom The steelers playing seven offensive.
Linemen it's it's it's a, trendsetting futuristic way of playing
the game that will change everything before we know what
everybody will be doing.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
IT i haven't heard of.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Anything so goddamn dumb in THE nfl since probably the
last Thing tom when the last kind of kind of
twist he tried to put into the game.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Plan it's. Moronical and here's here's.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Another here's a nutty stat THAT i find to be
moronical as.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Well where do you get moronical from tropic?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Thunder i'm a blind spot on this who says. Moronicle
Robert Downey.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Jr like his.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Character you talked To Ben affleck about playing Simple, jack
simple Ass jack to be. Moronical so here's the. Stat
The steeler running backs are getting sixty nine Percent, No i'm,
sorry sixty four percent of the offensive.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Touches is that clear?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
BAD i don't think it's, good. RIGHT i don't think
you want that to be the. CASE i think you
need that to be a little.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Bit it's the kind of stat that pops up when
you're using seven offensive.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Linemen yes it.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Is and getting back To gabriel for a second. Too
he threw two touchdowns last week against That vikings. Defense
it's more Than flac who had thrown at any of
the starts he had for The. Browns and he targeted
his tight ends forty percent of the. Time and if
there's an area of That steelers defense that really sucks and,
coverage it's the linebackers on the. Inside even Though Peyton
wilson thinks he's so great And Djoku fannin they torched The,
(23:51):
vikings who's to say they're not going to touch The.
Steelers and that's easy layups for young quarterback tight.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Ends. Here Harry judy, too the guy The steeler should
have traded. For.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Uh he Cost cleveland like what a third to four
something like. That nothing he should have got. Him Jerry
judy would be a difference maker in The steelers. Offense
he's a difference maker in The browns Off it's a
perfect number two. RECEIVER i, mean he would fit perfectly
in The steelers.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
And does not mind being a number. Two he'd be
the perfect sidekick TO.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
DK i think he would much rather be a number
two somewhere else than a number one In cleveland right.
NOW i think that's for damn. Sure but he is a.
Threat i'm more worried about the tight ends. THOUGH i,
mean And stefanski's good enough to scheme up tight end
play in the middle of the, field as.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Opposed To Arthur Smith, oppenheimer who just. Doesn't we were
supposed to be the tight end oriented. Offense now the
two guys you counted on to be targets are barely.
Playing wonder How john who feels to be brought in
here by a guy who had him with two other
teams used him, properly and now he's getting what was
it fifteen snaps Last game.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Sixteen he'll never tell, you BUT i really do wish
we could give him some true seerman find that, out
AND i want to, see you, know get On Arthur
smith and be, like why is the game plan For Johnny?
Smith snap the, ball turn and Face Aaron rodgers at
the of scrimmage and catch a. Screen that's all he ever?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Does you, KNOW i understand the logic of using the
seven offensive, lineman except it's not, Logic BUT i understand
what's the better word?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Reasoning their, reasoning not.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Mine they think it Protects, rodgers but you're by giving
him so few, targets you're Depriving rodgers the chance to
Be Aaron. Rodgers then, Again devil's. Advocate you, Know Peyton
manning Wasn't Peyton manning when he was that. Age Tom
brady Wasn't Tom brady when he was that. Age maybe
it's the right thing to, do BUT i the right
thing to do is have five good offensive linemen who
(25:31):
could protect. Him they Ruined Broderick, Jones Troy faton is
not developing like they.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Hoped the hick in the middle's.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Overrated they just don't have nearly what they thought they,
Did and that's why they're. Compensating next, thing it'll be
eight offensive.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Lineman no matter how you slice, it it's exactly. That
it's compensation for the fact that your offensive line is.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Deficient so like a guy who drives a giant truck
because he's light in the.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Pants, yes like you can't run the.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
BALL i bet the coaches who made this decision they're
light in the.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Pants you can't run the, ball so throw out those
seven offensive. Line you can't Protect, rodgers so throw out
that seven offensive.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Line have an offensive lineman equals light in the.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Pants and when they run up into The, indies into The,
buffaloes AND i think it's fair to Put indy in
that category right now until they prove. Otherwise, second they're
putting up points And Jonathan taylor's running all over.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Everybody so that, game The steelers use seven defensive, Linemen.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
SO i because they're lighting the.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Pants it's been.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Proven now prove it's just a fact that you're not
gonna be able to beat those teams that. Way you're
just Not. Buffalo The colts if they keep it, up Even,
baltimore if they get healthy enough, offensively they're gonna put
up points against The. Steers this is such a disservice
for The. Steelers they're gonna Get lamar. Like lamar's gonna come,
back and he's gonna be healthy Come. December so maybe
The ravens will be out of, it but they still
(26:47):
are gonna be a troublesome game For.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Pittball, well tom if all we want In pittsburgh is
meaningful games for The. STEELERS i believe they will still
be in the race for top seed when they Play
buffalo On november, thirtieth AND i believe they will be
in the lead in the division when they Played Baltimore december.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Seventh and, honestly they said Today lamar hasn't, practiced so
he's probably not playing against The rams this. Week if
they lose to The rams and then heading To thereby
at one in five and then you take care of
business against The ohio teams and you're five and one
and you have a four game, lead that would be
blowing it on an epic. Scale if The ravens were
able to clow their way.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Back if they win their next two, GAMES i don't
think they can lose the. Division AND i know that's
presuming a bunch considering they blew it last, year and
there's a ton of games to.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Go but that's HOW i see. It it was different
last year. TOO i, Mean baltimore didn't look this bad last,
year And lamar wasn't hurt last.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Year, yeah it's JUST.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I, mean like IT'S i should be feeling better about
The steelers at three and. ONE i just don't because
seven offensive, line in which means they're they're they're light
in the.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
PANTS i gotta bring this.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Up Tom Donald trump called Bad bunny a quote absolutely
ridiculous choice unquote for Super bowl halftime. Show, well of
Course trump would say that he's an old white. Dude
but this is WHAT i mean about him being. Unpresidential you,
know somebody else can evaluate his. POLICY i really don't
care about, That but this is WHAT i mean that
(28:17):
we don't need to know what the freaking president thinks
about the Super bowl halftime, show and we don't NEED
ufc at The White house unless hearkening back to.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Idiocracy Beef supreme is in the main.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
EVENTS i WOULD i would actually not only Support Beef
supreme fighting at The White, house BUT i would scalp
a ticket to.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Go we are so dangerously close to THAT i, mean
it has never been closer to that actually becoming a.
Reality Mountain Dew Camacho Beef Supreme, Idiocracy, yes what are?
There you think we're? There what do you?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Mean? Close one oh five NINE.

our good friends At Shenderoviic schendorovic And. Fishman the Rest
charge forty the Eight, charts twenty Five, tom what do
we got for The trifecta?
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Today for today's Trifector, MARK i got some refreshing things
that we saw out of The penguins game last. Night number.
Three it was refreshing to see them actually hold on
to a, lead bleed out a one goal lead like they,
did and then add on with the two empty, netters.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Which they've had trouble within recent.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Years you can say that, again.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Which they've had trouble within recent.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Years it was Refreshing number two to see them not
default To Tristan jari and damn use go to Sie
lovs if you've, mentioned and then you got a shut
out for, him and they didn't get a shout out
until game fifty four of last, season and they're won
for one so far the.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Same jari was like the league leader and SHUTOUT i
won two.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Years, ago a year before. That, yeah yeah. Crazy the
number one most refreshing thing, though was we Saw kendall
and we Saw brunick make their debuts in THE. Nhl
they didn't get buried on the. Bench they each played fifteen.
MINUTES i think that's very. Appropriate and then little stick
tap To boucci for this. One he pointed this out On.
Twitter the minute allocation By Dan muse when it came
(30:21):
to the forwards was phenomenally. Balanced sid was the most at,
seventeen and then the least amount of ice time among
forards was. TWELVE i, mean and As bouchie pointed, out
that gets your young guys involved and it keeps your
old veterans fresh throughout the.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Game SO i thought it was really well. Done the
bottom six didn't stink. Either, no it did.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
NOT i, mean With sid's line kind of getting shut
out as far as you, know being on the score,
sheet they needed the bottom six to prove. WELL i,
MEAN i Guess brasser's is the second, line but he
seems like a bottom six player to.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Me depends what you mean by bottom six now that
we're calling Him. Brassers the trifector brought to us By
Danny's Pizzurt, Hogies pittsburgh's original of, them Baked togy since nineteen.
Sixty That's danny's right On root eighty eight In Bethel. Park,
yeah The penguins game was. Great i've never seen, though
a game won by the team we talk about so
(31:11):
egregiously devoid of talking points with the game. ITSELF i,
mean there's some things that were furthered in general conversation
with the team moving, forward some messages that were delivered
By MEWS i, think but basically the game, itself they
dropped the puck and then three hours later they picked it.
Up but they got the. Points And i'm wondering what
(31:34):
the crowd will be like if they'll sell out the home.
OPENER i don't think. So thursday, NIGHT i don't think
they're gonna sell.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
It that ain't. Good that ain't. Good but do you
Think i'm? WRONG i think it's.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Less than fifty to fifty that they sell out the
home opener tomorrow night against The.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Islanders but it's. Possible as you, know this sounds.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Dumb just having won last night could get SOME i
don't want to say walk up because it just means
they go on THEIR app to take a mask for
app at the last.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Minute, well they did have their sellout already this, year
right with the preseason game With Mark Andrey. Flay i'm
kind of serious, there like they got to sell out
under their belts they have. That you're right, though a
home opener not selling out is pretty, tough especially coming
off of that. Win And sid's still, here you know
how many there's more noise than ever that he might
(32:24):
not be A penguin after this. Season so could this
be the last home opener For? Sid you don't know.
THAT i hope, not BUT i don't. Know Maybe i'm
being too. Pessimistic maybe they will sell OUT ppg tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Night Maybe sid will.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Stay you, MEAN i think that's fifty to fifty better
than fifty to fifty.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
That he, States, now do you think the crowd might
be better On saturday Because sully's coming back and it's
A saturday?
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Night, YEAH i think.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
So, YEAH i THINK i think.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
SO i think the lore of the opener will leave
them about a thousand Shy tomorrow. NIGHT i think that
the The saturday night being the hockey night For pittsburgh
And sully coming back and the local, Kids VINCENT.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
JT i think that'll leave them still about one thousand. Shot.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
YEAH i could see it that, Way but that's almost a, sellout,
right like a thousand? Shy who?
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Really oh, no they were done thirteen hundred per game last.
Year that's a significant.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Amount oh, well.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
How many games do you think it would take for
them to turn that? Around like if they're in a
playoff swap By thanksgiving the crowd start showing.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Up you set me up for. Five maybe it's too
early for. That, YEAH i don't. KNOW i don't.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Know IT'S i think that the arena should be sold
out every game to see.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
SID i agree with. That you, know you know WHAT
i love this time of. Year.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Tom THE nhl network in the offseason sucks because you
have like twenty minute segments analyzing each team's draft with
guys who don't know what they're talking, about talking guys
they don't know. About but during the, season when you
get all highlights all the, time THE nhl network is.
Great but there was some funny commentary last. Night they
(33:55):
WERE i forget who it, was but they were talking
about how what a great service mcdie david has Done
edmonton by giving them a, Discount he's given them more
where we're thought to, win blah blah.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Blah sid has.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Done that here since day, one and better in sacrificing
more than.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
McDavid i'm so glad you brought that up Because i've
seen that, too and it's just so. Absurd AND i
saw somebody it was like THE Tsn Sports center or.
WHATEVER i forget who the analyst was that was on,
it but they were, like is there anything that compares
to the unselfishness that McDavid. Did and he brought Up
Paul korea and what he did with The, ducks AND
i was just, like, idiots it's happening right in front
of your face right, now and it has been for ten,
years you know.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
What it's happened so. Long and at the same time to.
It they just it's all they.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Know that makes a lot of sense that it's just
like they take it for granted almost That sid does,
that and.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
With sid at least it. Work with, McDavid i ain't
sure it's gonna. Work there's no.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Guarantee Plus sid took four million less than. McDavid he's
at eight point seven or eight point, yeah eight point,
seven SO i.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Mean, See, actually IF i were, HIM i would have
wanted the big money now as their, rebuilding because there's
no guarantees with the. Rebuilding i'd want it paid for
sticking with the.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Rebuilding if it ever made sense to do, it it
would this year For. Sid but he. Didn't he's eight point. Seven.
AGAIN i have to bring this up Before i'm off
the show mark for the. Day did you see the
pitching matchup in The brewers And cubs this Afternoon Quinn
priester Versus jamison tie?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
On it is.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Delightful priesters like had this huge run there right, Now
guy's got like fifteen.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Wins now do you think that's because they used him?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Better? There the chance to win motivated and elevated? There
you know he was In, boston didn't do real good
after The pirates traded him and he was terrible, here
what do you think is behind, him you, know taking
a step.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
UP i think it's probably a little COLUM a and
col H b, right like you're in an actual winning,
environment and that.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Was probably organic that he was going to get better
because the talents and had. Talent, yeah but he but
he just just you, know got to rock it up
his backside being on a team that can exploit him
improving right.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
NOW i also wonder how much micromanaging has done with
The pirates and some of the lesser pitchers on their.
Staff not. SKEINS i don't think Anybody i'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Assume The pirates F priester. UP i Just i'm just
kind of taken aback that he wasn't good In boston.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Either that was very short lived though his time In.
BOSTON i don't know if maybe he would have turned it,
around if he would have stuck there for a little bit.
Longer but he's phenomenal for The. Brewers it's hilarious that
those two are going up against each other in an
A nlds game. Tonight well we have that on the STUDIO,
tv not because that's at five. O'clock we're gonna Go
mariners And tigers. Tonight that starts at. Three, okay, okay
because what? Kay you should have got The cubs And
(36:29):
brewers moved. Up i'd like to watch.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
That my.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Bad, Well i'll be here for well as far as they.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Know.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Uh we got guests. Later we're honestly not sure who they,
are and that will play.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Out, uh But i'm actually going to talk a lot More.
Penguins you're on The home of The penguins one oh
five nine THE.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
X now it's your chance to win one thousand. Dollars
just entered this.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Nationwide keyword on our, website The.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Bills that's
It's the Mark Madden shoke. Follow me on Twitter at
Mark Madden. Next, the Penglins defensive cord did fine, because
it ain't great. The Athletic ranks the Penguins defenseman as
the worst in the league, dead last thirty second out
of thirty two, zero point zero. But it did okay.
(00:26):
But it's only one game. We talked out of Tommy
Radio tom the Sid line was quiet. Raquel had four shots.
But like I said yesterday, it's a one line team
right now, and that's gonna be hard matchups for Sid's line.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Absolutely, and other people stepped up further down the lineup,
and we talked about this yesterday, Mark, Like, you know,
going into the season, you want to get those bottom
five odds, top five odds, finish in the bottom five,
but in the moment, you want to win the game.
And boy was it's so fun to just beat the
Rangers last night.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Right for the draft, I mean wishing, you know, low
enough to get a top five pick, should still.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Be the number one priority. It's always fun to win
on the day.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
And the Rangers crowds are booing the Rangers after the game.
It's game one f them.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
No, no, they might be onto something. Yeah, I don't
think that team's very good. Feel bad for Vince and JT,
but I don't think that team is very good. And yeah,
on the day you have a fans perspective, you definitely
want to win. And I'm not denigrating Sid's game at
all because over two hundred feet Sid was the best
(01:33):
guy on the ice. He dominated the puck don low
and when the Penguins had to lead, the Sid line
would like just possess the puck don low for a
shift and just chip away at the clock.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Sid was a monster last night despite not showing up
on the score sheet. And you know, even though you're right,
they're gonna draw the toughest matchup every game because they're
a one line team, that line will still produce against
a tough matchup because in a vacuum like that's one
of the best lines in when it's healthy. Riquel slash Rusty.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And said, I think that's an overreaction bit because Sid's.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
On the line and Raquel scored thirty goals last year.
I guess he drops down though when rust comes back,
But Rusty's capable of putting the puckage.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I don't know the word I hear is is going
to be Russ, Raquel and Sid, which would be a mistake.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
You gotta keep Covening up there.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well, here's my fear, I like Malcolm between the two
six foot five wingers, that every guy in the line
six foot five. You can't play Coyan on the third line.
Coyven has to play with Sid. Not playing Coyvenant with
Sid to develop coven In would be coaching malpractice and
looking away from what the goals of this team are.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
However, whispered, Well.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Let me ask you this, then, do you think Ben
Kendall only has eight games left still or was there
enough in that one game that you were thinking about
maybe he stays.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I for sure can't judge by based.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
On one game. But there's a chance, right, there's a
chance that he stays on the Penguins for twenty five,
twenty six.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What are you dumb and dumber?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I mean, I mean, I guess, yeah, but I'm good.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But when all them guys come back from the injured list, No,
he's going back.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He'll go back down.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, maybe soon.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Where I was going with that is because it sounded
like you wanted to keep the big boys with Gino.
Where do you put Rust when he's back if you
keep her calling covenan on?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So no, I'm not saying I do want to keep
the big boys with Gino. I I just think that
Covenant has to play with Sid.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That's my first in assembling that the lines.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I was gonna say, throw Rust on the third line
with Kendall for a little bit. See how that goes.
Give Kendall a really good winger to play with. I
think when Russ comes back, Kendall's gone. But we shall see. Now,
Shiloffs got the shutout. He was never really under siege,
was he. It felt more like a team shutout than
a goalie shutout.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
With all due respect to the Shilloffs.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, he still made the saves, and that's been missing
from Tristan Jarry's game so often. Right, he made the
first save big time there. But I feel like there
were times over the past couple year where the Penguins
played a game like this where they were really good
in front of Jarry and made it easy on him,
and he just gave up a really easy goal, no.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No question, and then their resolve weekend because it's a
bad goal. So yeah, no, I would you start shill
Off tomorrow night in home opener. I don't think it's
even a question.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I think they should. I'm not sure they will see.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I think Damn mus is a bit different. He likes
kind of you know, going the other way on things.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Well, we're gonna see, because that's a decision that shows
if he is indeed a bit different. Because let me
tell you, Jars will get the boo boo face for
sure if he doesn't start two games in a row.
And then what if you win Thursday, you got the
day off Friday, you're at home again Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Do you come back to Shilloffs.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Then you don't have a back to back game in
a long time.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I know Jarry will play before then, but you're not
gonna have to force him into the next.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
If you're serious about making the playoffs and doing things different,
then Shilloffs plays three loses. That was the rotation with
the Bruins when ej and Jerry cheevers and they were
two really good goalies, like like in the sixties and seventies,
you played to you lost.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, this isn't them, but I feel you on that.
Why not go that way? And I don't know, I
mean MWS has no attachment to Jarry whatsoever. I mean,
he was at least there when Selos came in, you
know what I mean though, Like he was there in
the room when they signed Sea Lovs. So I'm sure
he's yeah, traded for him. I'm sorry, So I'm sure
he was, like, Yeah, I like this guy. Sullivan was
attached to Jarry the locker room. You've said it a lot.
(05:04):
The veterans like Jarry. They think he's still pretty good.
So it's good to have a coach in there that
probably just looks at him like, no, you're not for me.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Here's some justin is it Brazo or Brazil. I guess
it's Brazo. I like saying brass the porn thing.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, here's some facts on him.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
He six' five sixteen CAREER nhl goals well now. Eighteen
played JUNIOR a for The North Bay battalion In, ontario
which is a pretty good.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Name but his bio was not.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
EXTENSIVE i, like when he, scored we had a first goal,
thing like if you scored the first goal at my
viewing party At Pittsburgh Brooke. Company yet like we had
slips like a. Raffle, yeah and LIKE i when he
scored the, GOAL i, SAID i was on, MIC i,
Said i'm still not.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Sure who he.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Is those at my school, Though gino kind, of you,
know twisted through the face off forward with the puck
and Fed. Braso it. Was it was very quick and.
Simple gino played, awesome how lot of. Jump here's the
thing with.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It in a different look with the two big.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah the thing with him, though Is i've seen this
before in the past couple of. Years do you, know
usually starts pretty. Well it's when you get into the
dog days of the season That gino's legs can get
a little.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Heavy, NOW i thought The penguins were Magnificently. Vanilla it's
a three nil, win but not with a ton of discussion.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Points, no and it was really one, nil, RIGHT i
mean those two empty neck goals and The rangers didn't
even put up a fight when they pulled the. Goalie
did you think soly Pulled igor a little?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Early that's the trend Now you're seeing goalways get pulled
with like four minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Left, now even with just one goal. DEFICIT i, thought.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
No, no, no, yeah, yeah you just want to give
yourself the Long, yes, YES i GUESS i thought it
might have been a touch too early for, him but
they had no chance with the extra attack Or penguin
shut it down real quick With brassers second.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Goal SO i like how you said it was vanilla
in the best, way OR i don't know how you phrase,
that but it's just significently. Vanilla you just needed. That
and sometimes vanilla is the best, flavor and that's exactly
what The penguins have been missing for so. Long it's
just that vanil meat and potatoes type of. PERFORMANCE i
do like calling them.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Brawsers we're gonna stick with.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
That, yes The islanders ain't ain't great for the home
opener tomorrow. Night The penguins could have a playoff spot
wrapped up by the.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Weekend, WELL i mean you were kind of, JOKING i
think when we were leading up to the, season but
you were, like what if they start eight and? ONE i, mean.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
They're gonna start eight, one but they could start they
could start two and one or three and, oh because
The New york teams aren't, good they play The rangers
again here On, saturday.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And then you gotta go out. West so Out west
could really tell a tale and you can maybe lose
some momentum. There do you expect The ducks to be
that great Under? QUINNVILLE i expect to be. Better they
got some up and coming players as. Well The kings are.
Good The sharks are up and coming from terrible last.
NIGHT i got home and watched that game killed. Them they're, good,
THOUGH i mean they're a good hockey. Team The sharks
(07:47):
are up and coming, two but they're nothing. SPECIAL i
think it's not a tough schedule to start the season
for The.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Pens, well, no every game's tough for The. Penguins let's
not get two fooled by. Reaction although The, rangers The,
RANGERS i knew they'd be. Bad they look the blah
except for Zabina, jad who had seven. Shots it says
here you didn't notice the range of stars They they
didn't do. Nothing LIKE i, Said hilloffs was never under.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Siege egor was good, too BECAUSE i Think igor had
to make some red. Saves yeah, Yeah but other Than
igor And, zabinajad there was just nothing for the no
jump for such a big game. Too write your first
game With sullivan as your head. Coach it's the one
hundredth year of The New York. Rangers you're AT. Msg
you have those cool jerseys like it's one hundredth years
(08:30):
and that's what it said on the. Jersey, yeah just
nothing though from the team for that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
One hundred years and they've won one cup Since World War.
Two dear, god what what a what a what a
tradition they've. Established, Uh egor's are really good. Going like
a couple of those saves he made glove. Saves you
know WHAT i noticed BECAUSE I ej taught me a
lot about how to set, up like actually watching and
Critiquing jari over the last couple of, Years egor made
a couple glove saves where his glove was like way
(08:55):
out in front of. Him you cut down the angle
with your, glove even for that. Spot it's important to do.
That he is just so buttoned up as a.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Goalie in a league that is so devoid of truly elite.
GOALIES i think you'd agree he's one of. Them it's
kind of a waste for The rangers to be as.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That as as close to an elite goalie as there,
Is i'm not sure there is a truly elite goalie not.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Him duck the last GUY i would put.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Like you know anywhere near the dryden uh burdour Wah.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Hashak category was Vast levski in his prime In. Tampa
it's kind of fading a, bit a little, bit.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
LIKE i could see them making a run in these
playoffs with him picking his game back up just a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Because The east.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Stinks but it's a little bit of a waste of
igor when you look at The rangers and a window
that he provides for.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Them he don't carries here to get paid and he
is one oh five NINETY.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
X Spirits Summer new it's The mark.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
ONE.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
DX i know a lot of you THINK i hate The,
steelers AND i.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Do a lot of the time because of stuff like.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
THIS i hate this formation they're using offensively With Mount
washington a tight end and the extra Tackle Spencer. Anderson
that's essentially using seven offensive linemen and they're doing a
lots And i've been told it's not opponents, specific they
(10:26):
just like doing it because it Protects. Rogers but it
deprives rogers the targets. Too and what would make these
moron Stink Tomlin smith the whole, Organization what would make
these idiots stink that that formation works Against buffalo in
a big, game even works Against indian a big. Game
(10:49):
what makes them think that works when they get behind
by more than one score in any? Game it's, prehistoric it's,
idiotic it's small time. Thinking it's why they can never
go past good to being good. Enough AND i could be,
wrong But i'm. Not we'll talk more about that. Later right,
(11:10):
NOW i want to talk About Jerry jones flipped off
The New York jets fans and got fined two hundred
and fifty. K, Tom he's an, old, rich white. Dude
two hundred and fifty k is butt white money to.
HIM i know he explained that he was trying to
give a thumbs, up which is just a bold faced.
Lie but two hundred and fifty. K that that Amuses Jerry.
(11:31):
Jones that kind of money means.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Nothing saying that you wanted to give the thumbs up
is just leaning into your age and using it for your. Benefit,
Oh i'm just an old. MAN i put up the wrong.
FINGER i had no idea WHAT i was. Doing, yeah
that mean that's a drop in the bucket for. Him
he's not even gonna see that money leave his bank.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Account, well not to be fear his mismanagement of The
cowboys does somewhat justify him using senility as an.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Excuse he's been pretty bad. There if they would have
just Kept Michael parsons, mark they're not a bad team this.
Year like they're a legitimate. CONTENDER i think in THE,
nfc you know.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Who's helping him a lot Is George, pickens who the
students traded for a third. Pick but that will, last
it'll blow. Up he was fine here for a while.
Too it was never going to work with him. Here
Whether seat and hiber can get a better handle on
it Than tomlin, DID i don't, know but that's what.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Would have to.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
HAPPEN i think it's just a good. Start they're in
the honeymoon phase right. Now he does have a better
quarterback than he's ever. Had that absolutely plays into. It
With Dak prescott throwing in the ball and now With Ceede,
Lamhert dak's literally only throwing him the. Ball BUT i
just don't see it lasting a full.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Season WHENEVER i See pickings with like the hoodie pulled
down over his, HEAD i want to go up and
see IF i can get a Teenth uh breaking bad. Talk,
okay what do we there was a development with the
guy dropping the.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Ball, yeah The amari De marcado back from The cardinals
dropped that he had an interception re turned seventy two
yard touchdown against The, titans dropped it at the goal
line because.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
He was trying to do the cool celebration with. You
that's a celebration over the line and you drop the.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Ball no one.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Thinks it's cool, Though but the, Coach no one thinks.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
It's cool when you drop the ball early and you
cost your team a touchdown and you lose to a
god crap team by one.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Exactly and the, Coach Jonathan, gannon he goes over to
the sidelines and he's given it to the, guy and
at first he kind of gives him, like well he.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Should.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah at first he kind of gives him like a
little bit of a push in the chest, right like
kind of a, fingertap like wake, up what are you?
Doing something like. THAT i don't know what he. Said
then he's yelling at, him yelling at, him and then
as he, leaves he kind of gives him like a
big wind up in a slap on his chest, pads you,
know his shoulder pad. Area he gets fined one hundred
thousand dollars by the.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Team for the team find the guy who. Anything, No,
okay well they you know what they just. Did they
just surrendered control of the team to the.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Players, well the thing that they're latching onto is you
can't lay your hands on a place that half.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
That he gave a little.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
SLAP i saw it just kind of you, know did
it did a rap on his?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Pads haf.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
That it wasn't like he was the coach in Varsity, blues.
Right it wasn't like he was knocking these guys. Around
it wasn't like he was grabbing face masks and. Snapping
next he grabbed face, mask he choked mocks and it's
not like that happened he hit.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Him i'd have gone full what was the coach's, name
uh in varsity put he have gone Full Bud.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Kilmer, okay every game BEFORE i charge every time before
The chargers Played Jim. Harbaugh like the. Psychopath he just
goes up To Justin herbert and slaps his shoulder pads
as hard as possible to pump him up as hard
or harder Than gannon, does just Because gannon did, it
because he was yelling at the.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Guy it shows the candy ass nature the entire world
of how football has just. Degenerated they turned control of
the team over to the players when they cut the
coaches nuts off by finding him for doing what coaches.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Have always done and put yourself in the players.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Shop If I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Gann AND i, say, Listen i'm not paying the. Fine
if you take the fine out of my, Paycheck i'm just.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Done.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well if You're i'd have enough pride to do.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That if You're, DeMarcus i.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Really needed the, money WHICH i assume he.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Does if you're the player who did, this the running
backer did, this would you rather coach, yell let you
to chew you, out slap your pads a little, bit
and then keep you on the, team or would you
rather just cut?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
You you know, What i'd Know i've ever. Gannon i'd
show up at. Practices, okay you, guys do whatever you.
Want i'm gonna be over, here just like roll the ball.
Out i'd like read a, book like on the bench
on the. Sideline you guys are in. Charge do what you.
WANT i wouldn't blame, him AND i WOULD i would
give them one hundred thousand dollars less of coaching this.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
WEEK i also might say to the team to, okay,
fine you're gonna find one hundred thousand. Dolls i'm cutting.
Him then he's not on the team anymore, either but
they wont wouldn't let him do. That THEN i leave
right then that's the ground that you have because he's
the coach of The.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
CARDINALS i backtracked about quitting as soon AS i said,
that because you, know there's only thirty two jobs like that.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Exactly he's the coach of The. Cardinals it is just
it is.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Just the most.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Ludicrous IF i hadn't already mapped out the list, Here,
TOM i would put. This i'll do it right. Now
that guy just made the list a list early. TODAY
i don't know who that guy. IS i guess it's
The cardinals owner is who?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Mars you, know there's all marks look at.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
LIKE i Bet shandor gets in There sunday because Uh
haslim In cleveland wanted to Draft, shador wants to Play,
shador AND i think Trading flacco was a way to
Get shador closer to the. Field AND i think he's
told Uh, stefanski who's a great.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
COACH i think he's told. Him If Gabriel FALTERS i
want to see in.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
There, YEAH i think there's a lot Of haslam putting his.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Fingers Gabriel, FALTERS i too want to See shador in.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
There he's but not for the same.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Reason he's heavily involved haslm the owner In. CLEVELAND i
think that's. Clear can't imagine That stefanski Love he ruined the.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
TEAM i mean he was the brains or a lack
thereof behind the dashun.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Thing you Think stefanski would have Kept, Baker, YES i
think he would. Have, Yes he's such a good quarterback.
Guy he had to see the talent there and understand
guy had a hurt shoulder for most of the season
and still gutted it. Out there's no reason to cut.
PAID i think he Had odell. Yappin forget About, odell
get rid Of. ODELL i think that. Did he knew
he was onto something with. Bag it's played out In.
(17:01):
Tampa you Know baker right. Now you got guys on
on What Lewis riddick. Said Daniel jones should BE.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Mvp he's got no, chance but he should be in
the conversation, Probably but there are people saying That baker
is the favorite right.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Now and you know what of the of the usual,
names like you.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Know, mahomes et, Cetera, Burrows, Hurt alan's still right, there he,
is but a lot of the usual names have receded
in terms of, performance and that puts guys Like baker
in the legit.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Conversation, yeah Like lamar And mahomes are out of the.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Equation.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Uh baker And, GOTH i, think are the two guys
that are leading, it and you never think that they
would win AN. Mvp and you've often, SAID i just
don't see the league Giving Baker mayfield AN. Mvp you
have a bet down on, it, Though, mark and you gotta,
love you gotta love seeing the campaign start right because
if a guy Like baker is gonna win, it you
need that kind of national media campaign starting, early being
like he's THE. Mvp he's THE, mvp and it just
(17:51):
kind of drills into everybody's.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Mind here's an award that's already been decided To Lebron

Experts they got your, back not your.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Wallet speaking of personal, Injury brian rossed back in a
full Contact jersey And penguins practice, today so his return
may be sooner not. LATER a big win by The
penguins last. Night not a lot of action to be,
blunt but. Serviceable i'll talk more about The penguins in a.
Bit thanks to everybody who showed up last night for
(19:47):
my watch party At Pittsburgh Brewing company In. Creighton To Rebecca,
ron to everybody involved with setting it up as, well
over one hundred and fifty. People just a great group turning.
Up New York yankees send their division series With toronto
and The renegade got the five out save he was
(20:07):
sweating buckets by the, end but he got the job.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Done David, BEDNER i love.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
It what a run for him in The Big apple
don't mind The maggots two saves in the, postseason Seattlebeat
detroit leads that series two games to.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
One, tom you got Some steeler? Stuff what do you?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Got?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
YEAH i want to talk About Dylan gabriel for a little.
Bit mark in a weird way now That i'm kind
of wrapping my head around this game coming up On,
SUNDAY i think it's actually not a good thing for
The steelers That flacco got benched and they have to Face.
Gabriel gabriel might be a slight upgrade right now to
What Joe flacco has been bringing to the, TABLE.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I, think and this kind of harkens back to what
we've been saying about The. PENGUINS i think With gabriel
was starting quarterback on top of four other rookie, starting
that team has that kid energy and the veterans get
more buttoned up because they don't want, to you, know
give the wrong impression of the.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Kid they don't want to teach the kids how'm lock to.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
PLAY i think that's lesser in football than it is in,
hockey BUT i think it.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Exists don't get me. Wrong if The browns somehow beat The,
steelers WHICH i do not think they will On, Sunday
but if they are going, to it's going to be
on the back Of judkins out of the, backfield and
their defense is going to play lights out against The steelers'.
Offense But gabriel can move more Than, flacco and that's
hurt The. Steelers, Now gabriel's not going to run like
May Or fields, does But gabriel is going to extend
drives with his. Legs he's going to take five ten
(21:28):
yards if you give it to. Him So i'm a
little nervous about. That And flacca was turning the ball
over like. Crazy gabriel all characteristically. Right gabriel never really
did that in. College he's twenty five years, old As
Mike toman pointed out, yesterday AND i just think he's
going to actually be more conservative to keep the.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
JOB i think he's a challenge for The.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
STEELERS i think his, mobility if nothing, off provides that
and Coach einstein will find a way to keep the
game within one. Score and when the games wil did one,
score it's a crapshoot and that's how you. Lose the bad,
teams like just initiating those rock fights like the week
eighteen game last year against The.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Bengals that plays right into The browns hands. Too of,
course if you get into a rock fight with, them they.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Are gonna come here thinking they can make a fist of.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
IT i think they think that at every. GAME i
think they're a well coached. TEAM i don't think. That
as we pointed, out that is the one team other
than The steelers that looks like they're actually putting up
a fight in THE Afc north right, now that looks
like they haven't. Quit, now maybe The bengals will revive themselves.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
With Flat, well don't, Worry, tom The steelers playing seven offensive.
Linemen it's it's it's a, trendsetting futuristic way of playing
the game that will change everything before we know what
everybody will be doing.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
IT i haven't heard of.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Anything so goddamn dumb in THE nfl since probably the
last Thing tom when the last kind of kind of
twist he tried to put into the game.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Plan it's. Moronical and here's here's.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Another here's a nutty stat THAT i find to be
moronical as.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Well where do you get moronical from tropic?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Thunder i'm a blind spot on this who says. Moronicle
Robert Downey.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Jr like his.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Character you talked To Ben affleck about playing Simple, jack
simple Ass jack to be. Moronical so here's the. Stat
The steeler running backs are getting sixty nine Percent, No i'm,
sorry sixty four percent of the offensive.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Touches is that clear?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
BAD i don't think it's, good. RIGHT i don't think
you want that to be the. CASE i think you
need that to be a little.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Bit it's the kind of stat that pops up when
you're using seven offensive.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Linemen yes it.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Is and getting back To gabriel for a second. Too
he threw two touchdowns last week against That vikings. Defense
it's more Than flac who had thrown at any of
the starts he had for The. Browns and he targeted
his tight ends forty percent of the. Time and if
there's an area of That steelers defense that really sucks and,
coverage it's the linebackers on the. Inside even Though Peyton
wilson thinks he's so great And Djoku fannin they torched The,
(23:51):
vikings who's to say they're not going to touch The.
Steelers and that's easy layups for young quarterback tight.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Ends. Here Harry judy, too the guy The steeler should
have traded. For.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Uh he Cost cleveland like what a third to four
something like. That nothing he should have got. Him Jerry
judy would be a difference maker in The steelers. Offense
he's a difference maker in The browns Off it's a
perfect number two. RECEIVER i, mean he would fit perfectly
in The steelers.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
And does not mind being a number. Two he'd be
the perfect sidekick TO.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
DK i think he would much rather be a number
two somewhere else than a number one In cleveland right.
NOW i think that's for damn. Sure but he is a.
Threat i'm more worried about the tight ends. THOUGH i,
mean And stefanski's good enough to scheme up tight end
play in the middle of the, field as.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Opposed To Arthur Smith, oppenheimer who just. Doesn't we were
supposed to be the tight end oriented. Offense now the
two guys you counted on to be targets are barely.
Playing wonder How john who feels to be brought in
here by a guy who had him with two other
teams used him, properly and now he's getting what was
it fifteen snaps Last game.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Sixteen he'll never tell, you BUT i really do wish
we could give him some true seerman find that, out
AND i want to, see you, know get On Arthur
smith and be, like why is the game plan For Johnny?
Smith snap the, ball turn and Face Aaron rodgers at
the of scrimmage and catch a. Screen that's all he ever?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Does you, KNOW i understand the logic of using the
seven offensive, lineman except it's not, Logic BUT i understand
what's the better word?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Reasoning their, reasoning not.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Mine they think it Protects, rodgers but you're by giving
him so few, targets you're Depriving rodgers the chance to
Be Aaron. Rodgers then, Again devil's. Advocate you, Know Peyton
manning Wasn't Peyton manning when he was that. Age Tom
brady Wasn't Tom brady when he was that. Age maybe
it's the right thing to, do BUT i the right
thing to do is have five good offensive linemen who
(25:31):
could protect. Him they Ruined Broderick, Jones Troy faton is
not developing like they.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Hoped the hick in the middle's.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Overrated they just don't have nearly what they thought they,
Did and that's why they're. Compensating next, thing it'll be
eight offensive.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Lineman no matter how you slice, it it's exactly. That
it's compensation for the fact that your offensive line is.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Deficient so like a guy who drives a giant truck
because he's light in the.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Pants, yes like you can't run the.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
BALL i bet the coaches who made this decision they're
light in the.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Pants you can't run the, ball so throw out those
seven offensive. Line you can't Protect, rodgers so throw out
that seven offensive.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Line have an offensive lineman equals light in the.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Pants and when they run up into The, indies into The,
buffaloes AND i think it's fair to Put indy in
that category right now until they prove. Otherwise, second they're
putting up points And Jonathan taylor's running all over.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Everybody so that, game The steelers use seven defensive, Linemen.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
SO i because they're lighting the.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Pants it's been.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Proven now prove it's just a fact that you're not
gonna be able to beat those teams that. Way you're
just Not. Buffalo The colts if they keep it, up Even,
baltimore if they get healthy enough, offensively they're gonna put
up points against The. Steers this is such a disservice
for The. Steelers they're gonna Get lamar. Like lamar's gonna come,
back and he's gonna be healthy Come. December so maybe
The ravens will be out of, it but they still
(26:47):
are gonna be a troublesome game For.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Pittball, well tom if all we want In pittsburgh is
meaningful games for The. STEELERS i believe they will still
be in the race for top seed when they Play
buffalo On november, thirtieth AND i believe they will be
in the lead in the division when they Played Baltimore december.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Seventh and, honestly they said Today lamar hasn't, practiced so
he's probably not playing against The rams this. Week if
they lose to The rams and then heading To thereby
at one in five and then you take care of
business against The ohio teams and you're five and one
and you have a four game, lead that would be
blowing it on an epic. Scale if The ravens were
able to clow their way.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Back if they win their next two, GAMES i don't
think they can lose the. Division AND i know that's
presuming a bunch considering they blew it last, year and
there's a ton of games to.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Go but that's HOW i see. It it was different
last year. TOO i, Mean baltimore didn't look this bad last,
year And lamar wasn't hurt last.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Year, yeah it's JUST.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I, mean like IT'S i should be feeling better about
The steelers at three and. ONE i just don't because
seven offensive, line in which means they're they're they're light
in the.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
PANTS i gotta bring this.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Up Tom Donald trump called Bad bunny a quote absolutely
ridiculous choice unquote for Super bowl halftime. Show, well of
Course trump would say that he's an old white. Dude
but this is WHAT i mean about him being. Unpresidential you,
know somebody else can evaluate his. POLICY i really don't
care about, That but this is WHAT i mean that
(28:17):
we don't need to know what the freaking president thinks
about the Super bowl halftime, show and we don't NEED
ufc at The White house unless hearkening back to.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Idiocracy Beef supreme is in the main.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
EVENTS i WOULD i would actually not only Support Beef
supreme fighting at The White, house BUT i would scalp
a ticket to.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Go we are so dangerously close to THAT i, mean
it has never been closer to that actually becoming a.
Reality Mountain Dew Camacho Beef Supreme, Idiocracy, yes what are?
There you think we're? There what do you?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Mean? Close one oh five NINE.

Ones don't forget The Pregame, show brought to us by
our good friends At Shenderoviic schendorovic And. Fishman the Rest
charge forty the Eight, charts twenty Five, tom what do
we got for The trifecta?
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Today for today's Trifector, MARK i got some refreshing things
that we saw out of The penguins game last. Night number.
Three it was refreshing to see them actually hold on
to a, lead bleed out a one goal lead like they,
did and then add on with the two empty, netters.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Which they've had trouble within recent.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Years you can say that, again.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Which they've had trouble within recent.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Years it was Refreshing number two to see them not
default To Tristan jari and damn use go to Sie
lovs if you've, mentioned and then you got a shut
out for, him and they didn't get a shout out
until game fifty four of last, season and they're won
for one so far the.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Same jari was like the league leader and SHUTOUT i
won two.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Years, ago a year before. That, yeah yeah. Crazy the
number one most refreshing thing, though was we Saw kendall
and we Saw brunick make their debuts in THE. Nhl
they didn't get buried on the. Bench they each played fifteen.
MINUTES i think that's very. Appropriate and then little stick
tap To boucci for this. One he pointed this out On.
Twitter the minute allocation By Dan muse when it came
(30:21):
to the forwards was phenomenally. Balanced sid was the most at,
seventeen and then the least amount of ice time among
forards was. TWELVE i, mean and As bouchie pointed, out
that gets your young guys involved and it keeps your
old veterans fresh throughout the.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Game SO i thought it was really well. Done the
bottom six didn't stink. Either, no it did.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
NOT i, mean With sid's line kind of getting shut
out as far as you, know being on the score,
sheet they needed the bottom six to prove. WELL i,
MEAN i Guess brasser's is the second, line but he
seems like a bottom six player to.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Me depends what you mean by bottom six now that
we're calling Him. Brassers the trifector brought to us By
Danny's Pizzurt, Hogies pittsburgh's original of, them Baked togy since nineteen.
Sixty That's danny's right On root eighty eight In Bethel. Park,
yeah The penguins game was. Great i've never seen, though
a game won by the team we talk about so
(31:11):
egregiously devoid of talking points with the game. ITSELF i,
mean there's some things that were furthered in general conversation
with the team moving, forward some messages that were delivered
By MEWS i, think but basically the game, itself they
dropped the puck and then three hours later they picked it.
Up but they got the. Points And i'm wondering what
(31:34):
the crowd will be like if they'll sell out the home.
OPENER i don't think. So thursday, NIGHT i don't think
they're gonna sell.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
It that ain't. Good that ain't. Good but do you
Think i'm? WRONG i think it's.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Less than fifty to fifty that they sell out the
home opener tomorrow night against The.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Islanders but it's. Possible as you, know this sounds.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Dumb just having won last night could get SOME i
don't want to say walk up because it just means
they go on THEIR app to take a mask for
app at the last.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Minute, well they did have their sellout already this, year
right with the preseason game With Mark Andrey. Flay i'm
kind of serious, there like they got to sell out
under their belts they have. That you're right, though a
home opener not selling out is pretty, tough especially coming
off of that. Win And sid's still, here you know
how many there's more noise than ever that he might
(32:24):
not be A penguin after this. Season so could this
be the last home opener For? Sid you don't know.
THAT i hope, not BUT i don't. Know Maybe i'm
being too. Pessimistic maybe they will sell OUT ppg tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Night Maybe sid will.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Stay you, MEAN i think that's fifty to fifty better
than fifty to fifty.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
That he, States, now do you think the crowd might
be better On saturday Because sully's coming back and it's
A saturday?
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Night, YEAH i think.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
So, YEAH i THINK i think.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
SO i think the lore of the opener will leave
them about a thousand Shy tomorrow. NIGHT i think that
the The saturday night being the hockey night For pittsburgh
And sully coming back and the local, Kids VINCENT.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
JT i think that'll leave them still about one thousand. Shot.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
YEAH i could see it that, Way but that's almost a, sellout,
right like a thousand? Shy who?
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Really oh, no they were done thirteen hundred per game last.
Year that's a significant.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Amount oh, well.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
How many games do you think it would take for
them to turn that? Around like if they're in a
playoff swap By thanksgiving the crowd start showing.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Up you set me up for. Five maybe it's too
early for. That, YEAH i don't. KNOW i don't.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Know IT'S i think that the arena should be sold
out every game to see.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
SID i agree with. That you, know you know WHAT
i love this time of. Year.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Tom THE nhl network in the offseason sucks because you
have like twenty minute segments analyzing each team's draft with
guys who don't know what they're talking, about talking guys
they don't know. About but during the, season when you
get all highlights all the, time THE nhl network is.
Great but there was some funny commentary last. Night they
(33:55):
WERE i forget who it, was but they were talking
about how what a great service mcdie david has Done
edmonton by giving them a, Discount he's given them more
where we're thought to, win blah blah.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Blah sid has.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Done that here since day, one and better in sacrificing
more than.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
McDavid i'm so glad you brought that up Because i've
seen that, too and it's just so. Absurd AND i
saw somebody it was like THE Tsn Sports center or.
WHATEVER i forget who the analyst was that was on,
it but they were, like is there anything that compares
to the unselfishness that McDavid. Did and he brought Up
Paul korea and what he did with The, ducks AND
i was just, like, idiots it's happening right in front
of your face right, now and it has been for ten,
years you know.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
What it's happened so. Long and at the same time to.
It they just it's all they.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Know that makes a lot of sense that it's just
like they take it for granted almost That sid does,
that and.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
With sid at least it. Work with, McDavid i ain't
sure it's gonna. Work there's no.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Guarantee Plus sid took four million less than. McDavid he's
at eight point seven or eight point, yeah eight point,
seven SO i.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Mean, See, actually IF i were, HIM i would have
wanted the big money now as their, rebuilding because there's
no guarantees with the. Rebuilding i'd want it paid for
sticking with the.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Rebuilding if it ever made sense to do, it it
would this year For. Sid but he. Didn't he's eight point. Seven.
AGAIN i have to bring this up Before i'm off
the show mark for the. Day did you see the
pitching matchup in The brewers And cubs this Afternoon Quinn
priester Versus jamison tie?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
On it is.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Delightful priesters like had this huge run there right, Now
guy's got like fifteen.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Wins now do you think that's because they used him?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Better? There the chance to win motivated and elevated? There
you know he was In, boston didn't do real good
after The pirates traded him and he was terrible, here
what do you think is behind, him you, know taking
a step.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
UP i think it's probably a little COLUM a and
col H b, right like you're in an actual winning,
environment and that.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Was probably organic that he was going to get better
because the talents and had. Talent, yeah but he but
he just just you, know got to rock it up
his backside being on a team that can exploit him
improving right.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
NOW i also wonder how much micromanaging has done with
The pirates and some of the lesser pitchers on their.
Staff not. SKEINS i don't think Anybody i'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Assume The pirates F priester. UP i Just i'm just
kind of taken aback that he wasn't good In boston.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Either that was very short lived though his time In.
BOSTON i don't know if maybe he would have turned it,
around if he would have stuck there for a little bit.
Longer but he's phenomenal for The. Brewers it's hilarious that
those two are going up against each other in an
A nlds game. Tonight well we have that on the STUDIO,
tv not because that's at five. O'clock we're gonna Go
mariners And tigers. Tonight that starts at. Three, okay, okay
because what? Kay you should have got The cubs And
