Uh speaking of Pittsburgh Terry Terry Brad was a great seg leg legendary Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback also uh one of the one of the greats at Fox uh with the NFL pregame show I mean he’s saying and throwing his support behind Kenny picket to be the quarterback in Pittsburgh yeah listen he’s he’s

Supporting his guy he wasn’t always very supportive of Ben rothberger they had a little bit of a back and forth for years uh but he’s throwing his support behind Kenny picket well Chad Johnson was on with Shannon sharp and he threw out an idea something he may have heard about a potential

Quarterback replacement in Pittsburgh if indeed Kenny Pickett’s not the guy a little birdie told me and I said this many shows ago Russell Wilson coming on over there to the Steelers Cleveland had Deshawn or the AFC gonna be hell be hell uh I think right now I saw on DraftKings the

Betting favorite is Justin fields to end up in Pittsburgh no he’s going to Atlanta I always I thought 2.0 so that was Shannon sharp and Chad Johnson on the night cap show talking about play that sound bike why uh listen if you were if you were to just

Say if you had to project or predict what the hell if you had to if you had to project or predict yes who was GNA end up where Russell to Pittsburgh seems like it does make the most sense uh the Justin Fields is another conversation all together but Russell Wilson little

Bit of a uh I guess career repair with Mike tomblin and Company in Pittsburgh does make some sense but that would signal that Kenny picket is getting Zack Wilson that’s what it seems like to me Kenny pick’s getting Zack Wilson that’s how we describe that he’s getting Zack Wilson I mean it’s it’s

Self-preservation at this point I tell you how how is that even close in comparison because the Jets brought in Aaron roders that was after Wilson had already played a good amount over the course of the first couple it feels like the Steelers are done on Kenny picket

Yeah that might be the case but it’s it’s a little different like I don’t know that they ever put as much support behind Kenny picket as they should have you know you know you love the other thing is you know you love that take get kind right now because we’re on the herd

If we were on our show out the late in you a little bit more awful take uh but in all seriousness like the issue with Pittsburgh was their play calling and Mike Tomlin is a future Hall of Fame coach but if there’s one thing I think

He struggled with was how loyal he was to Matt Canada and you saw an offensive Improvement once they made the change this past year unfortunately two your point about if they’ve given up on Kenny picket once they got hot and whether that’s a byproduct of Mason Rudolph’s

Play his understanding of the system his time in the league whatever you want to point to when pick came back and was healthy at the end of the season he wasn’t the guy starting like that would lead me to think that and Lavar you brought up a great point yesterday in

Saying this that lead me to think one of two things either they’re have have given up on him and they’re preserving him to trade him or maybe he wasn’t 100% because there was times when he came back from injuries over the course of the past couple of seasons where you

Felt like it was pretty soon or maybe too soon whether it could be a concussion whether it could be other things that he was dealing with remember he had that he had that ankle injury um that he was coming back from so it’s hard to anticipate what’s going to

Happen but we we’ll know this whoever they bring in will give you a Sure Fire tell as to what that ultimately means for Kenny picket if it is Russell Wilson it’s over I wouldn’t be shocked if they didn’t try to trade him potentially under his rookie deal if it’s someone

Else who’s not really the guy that I think you know is going to take over and still be the starter and and it’s not that Ryan tanon Hill couldn’t be the starter and do well there but he’s he’s older too like they’re not looking at him as being the guy for the foreseeable

Future if Russell Wilson goes there I’m telling you right now he’s saying I’m going there because I want to win I want to revamp my career I trying to win a Super Bowl it’s it’s two different feelings even though those two are are obviously close in age you just feel

Like they’re at different point still in their career but you know it’s just a different feeling tanon Hill has got experien at Arthur Smith’s offense who’s now the OC in Pittsburgh so it would make some sense there I just wonder One my first thought is what how much how

Much um how much strength or how much how much influence is connected to Terry Bradshaw coming out and saying it I would be curious to know how that was received in Pittsburgh um because that is that is pretty cool to have a vote of confidence from one of the greatest

Quarterbacks and players in the history of the franchise to come out in support of you that would be one my second thought just listening to what we were talking about is one I I mentioned you know self-preservation you got to believe for all the success that Mike

Tomlin has had no losing Seasons you know being able to make the playoffs Against All Odds that there’s still a a very very strong undercurrent of feeling as though it could be time to move on from Mike Tomlin and go in a different direction and get some new a energy and

New new blood in there to see if they can shake things up in Pittsburgh my third thought was Russell Wilson to Pittsburgh I know Pittsburgh very well I I grew up there I I I learned how life is lived as a pittsburger it’s a 412 man it’s it’s it

Is the 412 it’s the 724 um there’s a couple more but I I just I don’t know that Russell Wilson would be a fit for Pittsburgh dang what’s that mean man I I just don’t know that he would be a fit for say he couldn’t eat fries on a salad

Is that what you’re saying I’m saying I’m saying I don’t know if he’s a fit for pitb are you saying there oh no 12b four bedroom houses in the Pittsburgh area no there’s some dope dope houses in the burg all right you go into the mandalis area Fox chap

I I would actually be willing to bet there is not a a house in Pittsburgh that is 20,000 square feet is that how big it was is something like that close to 20,000 four bedrooms 12 bathrooms cuz I don’t think there’s builders that walk around Pittsburgh I building homes with

IBS I’m have to push all right I’m just saying I I don’t think they’re walking around is that a software company no that’s so funny irritable bounce this is the IBS home I’m just saying I have no idea who constructed a home with that many bathrooms that much space they’re

Going to make that a category on Zillow IBS that’s got to be 13 restrooms and two B two bedrooms who’s the architect on that was like well you know they got a lot of people in this house a lot of Hosting to do got to spread it out where

People take care of business I think that that plays a part in in the whole idea of if he would be a a well-received player in in the Pittsburgh area we just had Pittsburgh is a bunch of hard-nosed blue collar lunch P hard hat guys working Mills you know they just we’re

Just prideful on being hard-nosed tough regular dudes I just don’t know if you can’t just bring in somebody and be like yeah he was he’s had a great career uh he can make our team better it still has to be somebody that kind of I think he’ll be

Just fine I don’t know I I think if he’s winning it’s fine I just think integrating because part of being a good professional in in markets at the pro level is integrating into the community to a certain degree and especially in a in a market like Pittsburgh I just don’t

Know that his personality don’t think he could intergr into P I just don’t think his personality is a conducive personality for the Pittsburgh way that even me he soft he played in the kind of you know it’s just certain other never misses games really Souther certain yeah

But his suits kind of threw threw people off he played at Wisconsin threw me off suits the one suit just went past the shiny meter it was it was too shiny on the meter of of shininess and now would judge a dude’s based on fashion yes yeah

I mean although the league is a fashionable Place anymore like I get a guys dress and they wear these interesting outfits and all that stuff I’m just saying some of that stuff doesn’t fly in C Mar he played at Wisconsin you know he he’s familiar with

The 10 okay but that was before he was a star though we we didn’t see him he he he was still hungry when he was that guy at Wisconsin and went to Seattle like it was he’s not what he is now he’s like a superstar now you know he’s an Entourage

You know uh he was in the movie he’s like an actor you know he’s married to this amazing actor uh um um what is it what is she a performer you know that’s that’s you know he’s just a different dude he’s evolved and I don’t know that

His Evolution would fit in a place like Pittsburgh and do you take that chance Evol you might be right tring I’m a TI bit neandra Thal on this but I’m just saying I just I am I am the K and I know they play on the north side of

Pittsburgh and if you’re from the Berg you know exactly what I mean Hey listen uh stay out a Southside you know Carson hey I I’ve got I’ve got an idea what we got you’re from there so why don’t you take him under your wing yeah come on it

Could be it could be like training day no I’m not I it could be you know what I’m saying you ever get your and why don’t you send him a case of why don’t you send him a case of Iron City send him or some Iron City Light start off

Slow drink he wouldn’t drink it you don’t think so no if I was like let’s let’s I let’s go sit at the point where all the three rivers meet let me tell you the story behind The Three Rivers let me tell you the players that come from each side of these Rivers there’s

Guys that are connected to the alagan there’s guys that are connected to the mananga and there’s guys that are connected to the Ohio they take him to a pirates game say you had more bathrooms than people here ah no I don’t want to give him a bad impression you know whoa

Whoa come on now the Pirates the Pirates just did something historic what’s that uh did they just sign someone like their second largest contract in the organization oh what’s it was it Keller or it wouldn’t have been associated with win sounded like a 5year 77 million deal I’m just saying dud they’re actually

Paying people record the win I mean listen you know they could they couldn’t figure out a way to keep Barry Bonds but they figured out a way to side they had Barry Bonds Bobby Bonia they had Andy van slik all on the same team and now they can’t have Russell Wilson because

You say he doesn’t fit the culture well I mean I’m just saying think about them dudes I just named hard knows dudes I mean does he remind you of a ymer yogger I got to ask you does he remind you of a Mario L like does he does he give you

Those vibes I gotta ask because with the SE what was his his slogan because it was let’s ride with the Broncos and then it was gohawks with the Seahawks what is the Steeler I would love for him to try to come up with one and see if the

Pittsburgh faithful would go with it I would love it like like what’s what’s the go-to in Pittsburgh I don’t know what is it I don’t know Iron up I mean I don’t think we’re we’re not slogan 1980s movie slan We’re not we’re not a SL

Sequel to All the Right Moves iron up I mean at at the very least Russell Wilson would be an upgrad quarterback and now that that you can’t dispute you can’t dispute that look we could say whatever we want been a long ass time since they

Won a playoff game so they uh they need some help there and if if you bring in Russell Wilson and Sia I mean that would be a fun pairing in Pittsburg you know they’d blend right in with all the other celebrities there they bring all their goodies

Yeah dang she sing that song My Goodies my goodies I mean some would say they’d be leveling up yeah I mean they would be F they would be more into Sierra than they would Russell Wilson Sierra would might be her Gateway or his Gateway into being accepted in the B now uh Brady’s

Brother-in-law Jack Johnson the hockey player he he would fit he played for the Penguins for a short time he got chipped teeth you know what I mean like that’s what we do all right so now how now at Jack’s house that he got in the Pittsburgh area how many bathrooms

Guaranteed where where did he live never did he live I can’t recall I I don’t remember I never had a chance to visit his Pittsburgh house okay all right I do know they love the community they love the people there they love the fans the organization all of it they thought it

Was awesome cuz he’s tough I can promise you this there wasn’t the four bedrooms to 12 bathrooms ratio I just I don’t know that I’ve ever met or been to any anyone who has a house like that or seen a house with that few bedrooms and that

Many bathrooms I mean at that point if you need that many don’t you just go straight to the shower like if it’s that much of a problem you just let’s cut out the middleman and get to where we need to go here like I’m just trying to think

Of like what rooms do they have that you need a bathroom off of out hard to find justification for why you would have so many bathrooms and not enough bedrooms to match do you want a bathroom right off your you know you probably don’t want a bathroom too close to certain

Common areas house I got to admit I got a lot of bathrooms in my crib and at times I’ve been like dang which one do I want to go to which one is the closest one so like you have or do I go right you struggle with figuring out which one

To go to and I don’t want to say it that way I I want to say am I am I am I living room because when I think Pittsburgh hard hat lunch pail I think which bathroom do I choose I’m still a tooth chipper though I’m still a tooth

Chipper yeah I still I got my clubber Lane shorts on underneath that I’m going go work day he’s got clber I’m still I’m still a tough SOB you know and and I don’t I don’t I don’t ever I’ve never gotten to the point of where I’m a soft

Lotion in hand boy damn and and be excited about the lotion container and and taking off my rings and softening up my hands my hands have calluses on them you know they’re banged up you know some of them have swollen knuckles I got dirt under my fingernails I’m a pittsburger

Through and through to the heart no matter where I live me too man I’m just saying based upon the spirit of a pittsburger which was built and based upon you hear this dude based upon this is great the Steel Curtain and what they created in the 70s we all walk around

And live with that mentality we walk around with a boulder on our shoulder yep not a chip not a pebble not a rock a boulder yep so you’re going to come to the Berg and play you come to play understanding that that’s who we are yeah
