    The Crime in Sports podcast has ruined my sports watching experience lol.

    At some point during any sport broadcast, the I wonder which one of these guys is a monster who will be featured on the show thought pops into my head.

      “Who’s your silver-haired white guy?” I shout at the TV, watching Aaron Rodgers do his best RFK Jr impression.

    So that last sequence before the commercial break was interesting.

    Is Jim Nantz retiring? He was waxing philosophical about when he started and the people he worked with. 🤔

    freaking 5 losses in a row to end the season for my steelers. I don’t know how we keep ending seasons like this, but it’s getting REAL old.

    I swear, it’s like we hit the threshold for getting into the playoffs, saw those last few games (against the Eagles, Chiefs, and Ravens), knew we could lose them and still make it, let our foot off the gas, and when it came time to hammer down, we just didn’t have it in us. Cam Heyward having an all-star season this far into his tenure does not deserve this kind of ending. I don’t know what needs to change, but man, SOMETHING does.

      You guys need a QB.

      Wilson can’t get you over the hump. It’s the twilight of his career.

      The Bears ruined Fields.

      Until you find a solid QB, it’s gonna be tough. But I will say this. With Tomlin, you have always had a winning season. That’s incredible.

        We really fell in love with those moon-ball deep shots, but yeah, if there’s a QB coming out of college that fits the mold, maybe someone with the right size and arm strength that isn’t getting looked at, I’d love to take a fly on him. Let him sit for a year to learn under Wilson, and then hopefully right the ship. Ugh.

        No. He’s been the bedrock upon which our franchise operates. However, I’ve seen this time and time again, where it feels like we just let our foot off the gas towards the end of the season. We overlook what should be certain victories, and fail to rally for big games. We had some injuries on the O-line that hindered us, but it just feels like we’re using the same losing formula every year hoping that this time it’ll work. I think we need to use this draft to solidify our O-line, bring in some depth at Running back, get another legit WR to take the pressure off Pickens, and stick with Russel Wilson (at least for now).

        Our offense has been doing better since we got Arthur Smith, but he may be head coaching somewhere else next year. If that happens, oof. It’ll be another season of pain while we try to find our offensive footing.

        Thank goodness I’m also a Cleveland Cavaliers/ Ohio State Buckeyes fan. Can’t be too sad about one of my teams not doing well when my other two are wreaking havoc 😅

          This is a hallmark of Tomlin.

    Saturday football seems fake like Thursday night football, it’s different groups of people. We just said we didn’t like 1 pm football games, but I guess it doesn’t matter. They play on Sunday at 1 pm for 20 years then it’s 8pm on Saturday.

    The whole checking if the receiver caught the ball before going down or stepping out is just Jeff d. Thomas and this John Cherry or Kerry guy checking. It’s caught if they had two hands on it and pulled it in anything after that would be a fumble unless the knee was down. This only really happens or gets checked in eastern games, same with that whole new 2 minute warning thing and all these new rules and new kicking method or location. It must all be because of fan duel and referees it must be Amazon doing this from Buffalo.
