(02:58):
little bit of penicillin for what curesyou at the offensive line position. A
lot of speculation, dare I sayit? Really? We got to be
in this kind of conundrum, conundrumat quarterback wide receivers. They need to
go down there to Haiti and getone of them, their witch doctors and

(03:22):
exercise the demon out of the Steelerswide receivers room. There's so much to
talk about with your Steelers. Thirdsegment, we are going to go golfing

got a lot to talk about thisweek on our mission Mash Black and Gold
golfing around Steelers Chalk Talk Show.Most importantly, though, as we do
these first couple segments about your steels. Again, I say it all the
time, I love our Steelers ChalkTalk fans. We ain't many, We

(04:08):
ain't got millions of followers, butI know that you folks who do listen

like what Mike McMann, the formerNFL quarterback, and I are doing.
You know, we try to talkreal football, you know, we try
to talk about x'es and o's schemesand et cetera, et cetera, because

(04:31):
Mike and I both played at Mikeat the higher level in the NFL.
Me left bench for your Pitt Panthers. But you know, I always call
this. We were talking a littlebit about how it's a silly season in
sports. It's also silly season withall these websites and Facebook postings. They

(04:54):
can't talk x's and o's. Theyjust talk nutty stuff. You know.
You know, do we need akicking meal name Larry to kick Phil goals?
Boswell's career might be done clickbait.So Mike and I like talking football
x's and o's, So I do. Want to thank you the fans who
listen to us and give us commentsback. Yeah, there's some clowns leave

(05:16):
horrible stuff on Facebook. I callthem the trolls, and guess what we
do to them. We just deletethem and block them. Yeah, if
you're a knucklehead. Yeah, sogo to our Facebook page, Go to
our Steelers Chalk Talk YouTube page,Steelers Chalk Talk Facebook page. Tank,
why would I do that? Youknow, I listened to you on the

(05:38):
radio and that's enough for me.Because here's the deal. If you're lucky
enough to be listening right now,go find Steelers Chalk Talk on Facebook and
YouTube. But Tank Tantlinger and MikeMcMahon like and share both YouTube and Facebook.
At the end of the year,we're gonna give away a Jack A

(05:59):
Lambert authentic jersey, one that hedidn't wear it or anything, but I'd
say a number fifty eight and saysLambert and has the bi centennial patch.
That's pretty darn authentic there. Soone lucky person is going to win that
jersey. But there's only one way. You got to like or share our
Facebook and YouTube pages. What doyou got to lose? Man? All

(06:20):
Right, So one of the thingsI want to do this week to say
thank you to our fans on Facebookand YouTube, and we do this on
occasion. I want to read someof the comments that you guys leave on
Facebook, not the troll stuff,but whimsical stuff, funny stuff, insightful
stuff, because look, there's areason you listen to my show, right.

(06:44):
You love the Steelers too, right, And I want to hear from
you. I really do. Look, I don't know everything. In fact,
I don't know nothing. What Iknow would fill up half a thimble.
And you know how big the universeis, that thimble is nothing.
That's what I know. But Ihave my opinions, right. That doesn't
mean I'm always right about now whenI think I'm right, No, I'm

(07:06):
right like any off I know offensiveline play, I know line jacker play,
all right, I have a lotof convictions about that. But I
want to hear about that from youand the fans. So what we're going
to do. We're going to openup the show this week about talking about
a funny that TJ. Watt himselfposts. So you know, if you

(07:28):
don't have time to follow social media, there's a lot of stuff out there.
Most of it's a junk, butsome of it is absolutely hilarious.
TJ Watt, who knew he alsodoes stand up comedians, acts down there
at Station Square every Thursday night foropen Mike can find TJ Watt amazing.

(07:53):
So TJ reposted a tweet from alocal guy to cover Steelers and the tweet
says this, based on all themedia speculation, the Steelers will have fifty
two quarterbacks on the roster come weekone. Now that's funny, and that's

(08:16):
funny. I mean, that isreally really funny stuff right there, and
you know it's just amazing. Youknow. One guy wrote in Joe Watson.
He says, I'm not sure whowill block for TJ Watt, but
at this point he's as likely tobe our starting quarterback and throwing the ball

(08:37):
as anybody. I'm not sure he'sgoing to block for TJ Watt, but
at this point he's likely to bethe one throwing the ball and starting a
quarterback. Eh. At this point, let's see what kind of army has.
Dave Kupp says, yeah, TJcould be a quarterback too if he
wanted. Linda Bugash says, myfa favorite Steeler, TJ. You know

(09:03):
he has earned a special place,not on this roster or recent rosters with
me, but who amongst us andSteeler Nation hasn't figured out that TJ.
Watt is gonna go down as oneof the favorite stealers of all the time,

(09:24):
one of the greatest Steelers of alltime. I mean, I know
what my list is, what's yours, But to me, it starts.
I gotta go with Troy paula Malo. And you've heard me maybe make this
argument before about Troy. If youtake out Lawrence Taylor, who is unquestionably

(09:45):
the greatest defensive player of all timein the NFL, he is There's no
argument about it. There just isn't. Okay. I've interviewed Lawrence and I'm
a pretty big guy. Right playingfootball, you gotta be a little bit
big. I played left bench ofpitt I look like a small child next

(10:07):
to Lawrence Taylor. He is amammoth man and it was easy to see
why he was so dominant. Butthat aside, take Lawrence Taylor out of
the equation, and I've made thisargument nationally to journalists and fans, Troy

(10:30):
Paul Lamalo might be the greatest defensiveplayer behind Lawrence Taylor of all time,
So do what you want with that, but that's my belief and list.
Certainly he's my all time favorite Steeler. Also nicest guy in the world.
You know, he's in the lockerroom years ago after a game and it

(10:52):
was almost like there was two Troys, really nice, quiet gentleman off the
field than demon on the field,right, And I asked him, you
know, there seems to be twoTroy Polamolos. Where does that come from?
And he just quietly after the game, sheeplessly looked at me and said,

(11:16):
they're both the same. There's onlyone Troy Polamalo. Loved the answer.
Then I gotta go to Mike Webster. Okay, played some center along
the way too. Love offensive lineplay. Love Mike Webster. He sent
me an autograph when I was ineighth grade at La Trob Middle School.

(11:39):
How could I not he signed thatautograph because I'm from Lay Trob. At
Steelers' training camp. For me,I loved watching the line play. It
was awesome. So Mike Webster's numbertwo for me, a number two A

(12:01):
Jack Lambert, Jack Lambert. Letme say it again in case you didn't
hear it. Jack Lambert. Heepitomizes the Steelers. He will forever be
on the Mount Washington or Mount rotSchmore, I should say of Steeler's greatest,

(12:28):
Jack Lambert. Now the rest ofmy list doesn't really matter. Percy
Harvin's my number four. Goodbye.We all have our lists, right,
I know, you ladies like thegood looking Steelers you might have. I
don't know. Can't he pick atnumber one on your list? I don't

(12:48):
know. But the point I'm makingabout TJ is this, there's no doubt
by the time he's done playing foryour Pittsburg Steelers, if not on that
Mount Rushmore, the greatest Steelers ofall time, definitely top ten. I

(13:09):
mean, TJ is amazing superman,you know. And I talked a little
bit earlier in the show about thisis a silly season for sports and how
people just make stuff up to talkabout Steelers straight now because they have nothing
else to talk about. All thisnonsense. It's been thrown out there about

(13:37):
we should trade TJ. Watt andget us some number one draft choices.
Hey, get something for TJ.Wile he's in he's prime. We need
a quarterback. You're an idiot ifyou think that for even one second.
More so those websites and talk showsthat even are running it out there as

(14:01):
a legitimate conversation or out of theirfreaking minds. Man, Hey, you're
listening to Steelers Chalk Talk with TankTantlinger here Sunday. What is it?
Saturday? Saturday Saturday mornings at tenam on Fox Sports Net Wheeling fourteen hundred
AM, one oh three point nineFM. I want to say to Larry

(14:24):
and stew over there in Steubenville nowat the Elex Club, thanks for tuning
in. Guys. Know you do. I get your cards, your letters,
I got that one gift you sentfor Valentine's not funny, Larry,
not funny at all. The onlyreason they listened to us at the Elex
Club is they got a transitionor radiothere at the Elex Club in Steubenville and

(14:48):
no digital platforms going on. Larry'slike, what the hell digital mean?
He's listening right now And they gotbasically a transistor radio and I'm the only
thing they can listen to on Saturdaymorning, so Elks Club of Steubenville,
Tank appreciate you listening in. LikeI said later in the show, We're
gonna be going a little golf trip, golfing around up to Michigan. But

(15:11):
we are reading comments from Steelers fansfor the next couple segments here. It's
funny closing out that comment that TJposted based on all media speculation, the
Steelers will have fifty two quarterbacks ontheir roster come week. One very funny

(15:35):
stuff from TJ. Somebody posted onour Facebook page Steelers chalk talk. That
is their perfect response to all thenonsense. That is the perfect response to
all the nonsense. So Revy,you get the comment of the week there,
you get a cookie for that becauseit is sheer nonsense. What's being

(16:02):
speculated. You can speculate all youwant right about what's going to happen at
quarterback position. Let's start with Mason. Rudolph, money and free agency is
going to dictate that. I personallythink Mason ends up with get ready for
it, Las Vegas or atas Babyuh huh, turf Dome, West Coast

(16:32):
offense, tough guy mentality like theSteelers. I don't know. I don't
even know if it'll happen or ifit's a good fix, but that's where
I think Mason will end up.Now, do I think Mason should get
out of Pittsburgh, absolutely, man. He has been disrespected, he has

(16:56):
been lied to. He had theidiot up in Cleveland attack him, which
in any other segment of society wouldhave resulted in five years in jail.
Garrett defensive player of the year joke, crush him with a helmet and his

(17:17):
head coach should run out on thefield and started throwing punches too. Mike
Tomlin's thrown Mason to the Wolves sincea very beginning. I wish him well.
All right, you listen to SteelersChalk Talk with Tank Tantler or Fox
Sports Net Wheeling. We're gonna takeit out to commercials when we get back.

(17:38):
I'm gonna read some more comments fromMunees guys. By all right,
wakey agy, go mc donalds,get yourself one of them their hamburger raffie
things and some coffee and wake upin a dantish roll. Yeah, listen
than to Steelers chalk Talk here onFox Sports Net Wheeling, Pittsburgh. I'm
Tank Tantl here here every Saturday morning. Why I don't know, why,

(18:03):
Why Craig Boomer do you let meon the air. I don't know,
I don't know. Maybe it's becauseI have something on you. Wink wink,
nudge, nudge. Be good,let me on the radio. Don't
mess with me, Craig, andnobody will ever see the pictures. It's
all I have to say about that, mister Boomer. In case you didn't

(18:26):
know what I'm talking about, Craig'sour great station manager here. iHeart Wheeling
Pittsburgh, Craig Boomer, Corey Kluggdoing a great job every week working with
my eccentricities. Don't know what itmeans. Means I'm a little nutty,
means I'm a little crazy, missingsome screws. So I appreciate our home

(18:48):
based team Fox Sports Net, WheelingPittsburgh, Craig Boomer, Corey Klug helping
me out every week. But Iswear to goodness you guys don't put me
on air, both of you.I'll really lease the pictures. I will
release the crack. And that's allI'm going to say about that. Hey,
so we've been talking about the Steelers. We covered a little nonsense in

(19:10):
the first segment about TJ. Wattposting, but there's gonna be fifty two
quarterbacks in camp this year based onall the speculation and we are reading some
of your comments this week, guysthat you leave on Steelers chalk Talk.
Love you guys for listening every week. I want to turn to something a

(19:30):
little bit serious now. We putup a post this week. It's on
the internet about the Steelers' point differentialand winning seasons. And the meme basically
says, the Steelers first team inNFL history to finish with winning records but

(19:56):
negative point differentials in three consecutive seasons. Now, Steelers fans, wrap your
minds around the fact. It's calleda paradox. It shouldn't happen. Why
is it happening? Twenty twenty oneand Steelers go nine to seven and one,

(20:22):
they get lit up with the pointdifferential negative fifty five. That year
twenty twenty two, they're nine andeight minus thirty eight point differential. They're
getting hammered man twenty twenty three,that was last year. Knock allheads.

(20:42):
Thank you Mason Rudolph for win numbereight, nine and ten. I don't
do math real well, but thatwould have been seven losses and seven wins
and eight nine ten just reversed sevenand ten, seven and ten had it

(21:14):
not been for Mason Rudolph. Ihope he looks great in a Raiders uniform.
Second favorite all time team fans OnFacebook road end because I want your
opinions, Fred Field said, nicejob, Matt Canada, He ain't right
about that, wrong about that,Greg Stossel, because we keep employing mediocrity.

(21:37):
Well at Canada explains the last threeseasons. Down it, Well,
tune a quarter for him. Well, Justin Carey said, well, why
the point Differentiro, because we can'tscore no points when we win. It's
my hair. We lose, weget blown out. He might be right.

(22:03):
Craig Broughy rights classic definition of anunderachiever. The talent and skill set
is enough to have some success evenwhen performance isn't at a high level that
wouldn't be necessarily be achieved by thosewith lesser ability. He's right. We're
loaded for offense talent at skill positions, not quarterback. We're loaded on defense

(22:30):
with some of the best players inthe league Minka TJ. Cam, but
they are still not performing to theirgiven potential, meaning the Steelers. Mister
Brophy writes. When a group underachieves, blame needs to be placed on leadership.
Tomlin gets the credit for not havinga lose in season, but it
is not how he is not heldaccountable for the substandard results. I got

(22:55):
to go with that. I mean, that's what it hangs on. This
is a huge paradox again, threewinning seasons twenty one to twenty three in
a row with point differentials of negativefifty five, negative thirty eight, negative
twenty. It don't make no nonsense, make no sense at all. It
ain't nonsense, It ain't whorese sense. It don't make no sense. See.

(23:22):
But I think and the Tank's opinionis this. It goes to an
argument that I've been mad thinking.Let me take a drink water. Ah,
that's good, right out of theOhio River. I got that this
morning. I dunked a jugger inthere and got it right out same river.

(23:45):
What the guys that went west,Lewis and Clark went down Ohio.
Have a drink out of it.Fish, drink it. You should be
able to drink it too. Solisten to me about what I'm saying here.
So for the last three years,there's been victories, there's been winning
seasons, but the point differentials horrible. We're getting killed. This isn't just

(24:10):
the last three years. This goesback to the Killer Bees error, and
I think mister Brophy's comment is veryrelevant. It goes to Tomlin. It
goes to what all of us whosee it, those of you don't.
I ain't gonna argue again, butthose of us who see it see it.

(24:34):
It has been the greatest waste oftalent since the Killer Bees error that
I've ever seen in the NFL onany team. That Killer Bees team should
have been to least two super Bowls. The offensive line was the best in
the league. Thank you, MikeMunchak. Please come home to Castro Pouncy

(25:00):
Villanueva Wolf forever. They should justenshrine them as a group into the Hall
of Fame. When the two nutjobs weren't Nutty Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown
and of course top ten quarterback ofall time to ever play the game in

(25:21):
the NFL, Ben Roethlisberger future Hallof Famer? Where was the media and
the defense was good? Where wasthe mediocrity at that point? The mediocrity
stemmed from Mike Tomlin when he hireda man who never even played high school

(25:41):
football, never played it down acollege football in Todd Haley, now Todd
Haley was bad. Lottie and SteelersNation lately had been saying, oh my
god, it was Todd Haley.Would come back. Todd Haley bad.
Matt Cannada is the worst. Butit goes to the point. Why that

(26:04):
point differential in the last three years, Mister Brophy said it, Well,
it's leadership, it's coaching. ToddHaley wasted your chance to go to a
super Bowl, wasted Ben Roethlisberger's chancedto go to a super Bowl and win

(26:26):
one out of two. I thinkthey would have done. Todd Haley was
horrible. Now, you folks thatdon't see it and understand it about Haley,
I can't help you. I can'thelp you your Monday morning quarterbacks,
and that includes friends in the mediaall mentioned his name. But I got

(26:48):
a buddy over at Katie k andthe fan. He calls me the unser
because I think Haley stunk. Andthat goes back years ago. I didn't
know what I was talking about.You say Tayda, I say Patata.
Those of you know it. ToddHaley wasted the Killer PE's error. I'll
never forget the infamous yard and ahalf to go. You got a six

(27:14):
foot six, two hundred and fortyfive pound quarterback is mean a snot garden
in Ben Roethlisberger. You got agreat offensive line, did I mention pouncing
and Di Castro in front of you? Never mind Foster on the other side
and the genius. With the gameon the line, Todd Haley says,
I will smart out y'all of you. I will smart out all you,

(27:38):
and I will pitch the ball fiveyards to the right into the backfield.
And this will so confuse the eventsbecause they will think Ben's sneaking it and
we shall go on to victory andaSuper Bowl. How'd that work out?
They sniffed it out in a Rand P. You still have a glimmer

(28:00):
of hope with Fiekner. You stillhad some glimmer of hope with the talent
that was on the team. Ben'selbow goes kabluey, there goes that.
Then you bring in, well,Mike Tomlin brings in Matt Canada. The

(28:22):
worst of the three, the worst, the worst, the worst. Maybe
I don't even know how you qualifythis the worst OC in NFL history.
And that's over one hundred years ofplaying the game. Going back to my
old La Troupe YMC Wildcats. Youknow La Trope, Pa, the birthplace

(28:47):
of pro football. Hell, thelocal dentist on the team called a better
offense than Matt Canada. But youhave to answers, ask yourself something.
Mister Brothy points it out on ourFacebook page. Hey, you're listening to
Steelers Chalk Talk here on Fox SportsNet Wheeling. I'm Tank Tatlinger here every
Saturday morning. But again we're gonnabe transitioning into that golfing around show.

(29:12):
Can't wait. Mike Tomlin hired theseguys. Mike Tomlin ran Munchak out of
town. I don't want to hearhe want to be with his family.
Mike Tomlin ran Bruce Arians out oftown. Mike Tomlin ran Mike Gosh.

(29:34):
The stupidity of getting rid of DickLebow for Butler. That falls on Tomlin.
That falls on Mike Tomlin. So, as I began this, rants
go to our Facebook page Steelers ChalkTalk, and there's a post I put

(29:55):
up about the Steelers point differential inthe last three seasons. Again, twenty
twenty one, we finished nine toseven and one, a winning season with
a fifty five point negative differential.Twenty twenty two, barely get a winning
season. Nine and eight thirty eightpoint differential. Twenty twenty three, you

(30:17):
just saw it happen. Thank you, Mason Rudolph. He doesn't come in,
they go seven to ten, buthe comes in saves today, ten
and seven, twenty point differential.You know, I gonna close this out
with this, take a big stepback for this season, and the question

(30:38):
is why winning seasons with point differentials. It's Mike Tomlin. It's Mike Tomlin's
coaching. It's his coaching decisions.Okay, Matt Canada this season, let's
just focus on that. And Iasked the question, especially towards the end,

(30:59):
who became more relevant. I'm gonnatake Deontay Johnson out of the picture
and we're gonna get to him,George Pickens, Naugy Harris, Jalen Warren,
Pat Fryermouth. If I gave themto any of the n NFC teams

(31:23):
that were in the playoffs, andI'm gonna go with the AFC teams too,
except for your Steelers, any ofthe NFC or AFC teams that were
in the playoffs would take that coregroup, especially offensive players that we currently
have and they would have made chocolatewith them. They would have made tasty

(31:45):
cake with them. They would havedone something with them. Could you imagine
Jalen Warren and Nagy Harris and GeorgePickens in the Super Bowl for the Kansas
City Chiefs. Now they won.They won with a one man show in

(32:07):
Kelsey. Could you imagine if theChiefs would have had Pickings Nodgy in Jalen,
they would have put up one hundredpoints. Mike Tollin doesn't know what
he has. Neither do we.Looking for an inspiring place to golf,

play, and they're both totally differentcourses as well, so it's a very
favorable place and also great golf here. So the play and stay packages.

(37:37):
Basically, customers can individualize it towhatever they want. The typical packages three
days, two nights, one roundeach day and then that includes breakfast,
but they can also include dinners whateverthey want. Wool tailor to their needs.

(37:59):
The best part about the packages,Like I said, when you come
here, there are two totally differentgolf courses. You've got your tree line
traditional, which is the Founder's course, and then we've got our open style
the Iron Forge no trees, hasthe high grass gives it a links look.

(38:20):
However, it's bent grass, fairways, teas and greens, so you
don't have that rugged feel when you'reout there. Everything's nice and plush all
right again, So much to dowith Penn National play and stay packages,
really great accommodations there. The golfis to die for. You can pull
onto property at Penn National and neverleave, never leave. Great restaurant,

(38:45):
swimming pool, bar, restaurant,golf. If you guys want to grill
out outside of your room, theygot grills available for you. They let
you do that really easy, goand relaxed atmosphere, and man, you
will feel like you are in themiddle of the country when you were at

(39:06):
Penn National. It's fabulous there.I'm telling you go there. If you
loved golf and travel, Penn NationalGolf Resort near Gettysburg is for you,
all right. Like I said,heading up to Michigan Gaylord to hang out
with the man, the myth,the legend himself, John Daily. Yeah,

(39:27):
and now I've been around John acouple of times. In case you
didn't know this, John's agent,Bud Martin, is a Pittsburgh guy.
Yeah, Bud Martin. He's aPittsburgh guy that had done good for himself.
He represents like some of the topgolfers in the world, Ricky Fowler
being one of them. Pittsburgh's ownedBud Martin one of the best sports golf

(39:51):
sports agents out there. Remarkable.So we're gonna play another John Daily song
right now in case you didn't knowit. John's things plays guitar, and
he's pretty darn good man. Ifyou were walking the bar and didn't know
who he was and heard him singing, you go, that boy ain't bad.
That kid from Arkansas, he ain'tbad. Singer. Many of John's

(40:13):
songs, as you can imagine,a long ball rebel, one of my
favorite deal with his life honestly hisdrinking and his gambling and his roughhousing.
And man, give me the guythat's gonna be honest. And you know
who he is. Okay, youknow who John Daly is. You know
you know he's been arrested drunk outin front of the Hooters. He don't

(40:36):
give a damn that, you know. Give me John Daly, who will
walk onto a green with a beeror a diet coke and a cigarette out
of his mouth. Go hold thisto his caddy, drives, gets a
driver out and pounds it five hundredyards. Says thanks, as opposed to
I don't know somebody else that hideshis in fidelities, his malfeasances. I

(41:04):
know there's kids listening, so I'mnot going to go too hard here.
Well, you're driving around, getscaught by his wife in the world and
gets up in front of a microphone, goes with his mommy at the side,
says I'm really, really sorry.I have a problem. I'm a
sexual addict, and I have togo to a place in uh Arizona,

(41:30):
right mom, Arizona. And I'mreal sorry about that because you got caught,
Like the judge says, the onlyreason you're sorry because you got caught
Tiger Woods. Remember that with TigerNike does it put him out of the
golf business for a while. Iwould have had more respect for Tiger Woods

(41:51):
had he pulled it. John Dailyand his agents said you got to do
a press conference in Tiger Woods,would have said, yeah, all right,
no problem. Walked in with abottle of wild turkey, a bottle
of champagne, Tiffany and Stephanie fromthe Purple Peppermint Club down there in Fort
Lauderdale, wearing bikinis and said tothe whole world, poured himself a wild

(42:16):
turkey and looked at the Cameron andsaid, I'm Tiger Woods. I like
to play golf. This is Tiffany, this is Stephanie. I like them
too, and I like ice coldwild turkey. So I'm not taking any
questions today, but I am goingto go play some golf. I'm Tiger
Woods. Out that I would havehad respect for that. I would have

(42:38):
had some type of respect for.Not me, Mommy, I got caught.
Come press conference with me. Imake good. I don't want to
lose money from sponsors. This iswhy we love John Daily, love him,

(42:59):
hate him, disagree with his lifestyleon a moral and ethical basis.
Least you cast the first stone amongstyou. This is why we love John
Daly. We have seen his lifeon full display in front of us as
golf fans, and we love himfor it because what you see is what

(43:22):
you get with John Daily
