I said meaningful, though, that's up kind. And two weeks from the time of this recording,

we'll be kicking off. Let's say hello to a guy who I know is at least as excited about it as I am since both our baseball teams are eliminated. I saw my team's elimination coming.

Probably like three years or so ago, but this a little more surprising is Red Sox flailing as they are. It's Kevin Hange. What's the poop fellow?

God, I'm very excited about football season, of course, partly because it can rinse out the taste of this horrendous baseball season.

I just heard a breakdown of every decision the Red Sox front offices. I mean, it's just like it feels like the major league. Oh, you're trying, you've been sent to high and bloom has been sent to destroy this organization for a generation mission accomplished like when he was walking out the door in Tampa, he turned over his shoulder was like, I got this. I got this. We all hate these big market market motherfuckers.

I'll destroy them every single big and small move I make will be wrong. Watch this. So, you know, it's just it's terrible. And it's not going to get better for a long, long time.

Let's not talk about it then. We have football to talk about. I do speaking of which specific to one football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers muzzle tub on a great decision to hire our guy.

I tailor as its newest scout. He really is one of the great personnel evaluators that I've talked to in the last decade, decade and a half. This is something he's long wanted to do. Paparuni, his favorite son, I tailor now a part of the Steelers organization formally going forward. I'm over the moon for him on that one.

As far as fat doesn't get blamed for what's about to happen in the next three seasons. Oh, stop it because they might see the coincidence of like, I don't know, we're making the playoffs before I showed up.

I've got it all figured out that where the Steelers quarterback decision is I'll let you know about that. But we have much to talk about the injury to Tyron Smith, what that means for the NFC East. We also want to talk NFC South, Tom Brady, the Saints, bake, the rest of it.

Maybe we'll get into some A of C South as well, Maddie ice, all the rest of that. But Uncle Mike in Pittsburgh, one of the great influences on my life along with my old man and why I'm so died in the wool black and gold faithful.

Post an interesting question a couple of nights ago on text and now I pass it on to you. Would I rather get a Steelers Super Bowl title or a Penguin Stanley Cup in the next year or two or

see the pirates ownership be forced to sell off? I wonder if that applies to a Red Sox fan. You're taking you and Simmons and Red Sox die hards are really sickened by this ownership group. How I'll say you to that same question.

I would love I guess my order would be Bruins win the cup also not also not going to happen with anybody on this roster.

Then then yet another non Brady Super Bowl win would be pretty great. And then you know these did you know I don't I don't think John Henry I mean I know he's preoccupied with Liverpool and his hockey team.

But I don't you know I don't think he fucking knows anything about baseball. I don't think he weighs in. So it's like yeah it makes sense to hire the Tampa GM.

You just look at what the guy did with nothing. You're like well imagine if he has something. So I don't it just turns out what you needed was those high draft picks and and the pirates to just keep feeding the raise good players. But he sucks. So that's not ownership. I don't think so much.

I mean the part where they're not going to they're not going to pay bogarts and they may not pay devours. That just seems to be where baseball is like everybody knows those contracts kill you.

So but you know as we've spoken about on this podcast.

No kids should ever fall in love with the best player on his team. It's just so sad.

Oh my god you're a natch fan. Bryce Harper and one soda. We're going to be mantle and Maris for 15 years. It's going to be a no they're just both going to be gone.

Like it's just like there's no so it's so it baseball is in a weird dying funk.
