Summary

Dave says goodbye to Big Ben Roethlisberger who likely played in his final game at Heinz Field last night and wants to celebrate the Steelers once again recording a .500 or better season. Sal and Martin then snap him back to the reality of what a terrible game it was. The guys discuss yet another bad performance from Baker Mayfield and questionable coaching from Kevin Stefanski as the Browns regressed as a franchise. Plus, TJ Watt dominated and likely earned himself Defensive Player of the Year. Sal, Dave, and Martin discuss the Steelers possible playoff scenario and the NFL’s scheduling problem, and a unique situation where the Raiders and Chargers could both get in with a tie. Then, they try to make sense of the Antonio Brown situation and if another team would sign him and take the chance he wouldn’t have another outburst. Next, the guys get into an argument about the College Football Playoff and how many teams should get in as Sal believes the SEC has a much stronger schedule than any other conference in the NCAA. Plus, a preview of Georgia/Alabama. Dave takes heat from fans over giving the Envy apple his coveted fruit of the year and Martin compares it to the College Football Playoff; the apple should have its own conference.

0:00.0	Welcome to Extra Points.
0:08.4	Now here's your host, Cousin Sal, and his good, good pals, Dave Damashak and Martin Weiss.
0:15.1	All right, welcome to the Extra Points podcast.
0:18.1	Tuesday morning, Cousin Sal, coming at you.
0:20.5	This is our first one of the year.
0:22.1	My God, I hope we do more. Like I said, Cousin Sal here, spaghetti and meatballs, work in the knobs, baby face Joel Solomon, producing this mess.
0:31.3	And joining me as always my dear, dear pals, Martin Weiss and a somber melancholy, Dave Damashik. Shek, your Steelers won 2614. It was a classic game. I'm going to let you reflect on what it meant to you in the city of Pittsburgh. Go ahead, Shaq Martin. We have to let him have his moment. This is it. No, I'll let. All right. I'll see you in half an hour. No, no, listen, my comments will be brief.
0:55.3	I look forward to make sure you're on the lookout for minus three,
0:59.9	where we'll also do a deep dive on the Steelers, the Browns,
1:03.3	and the rest of the AFC North with Browns fan, Supreme Mark Sessler.
1:08.6	But, you know, Cliff's notes it for you.
1:11.9	I don't think there's anything somber or melancholy. It was a great night for the city of Champaigns, aka
1:18.3	Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. You saw how to send an icon off the right way. I think 31 fan bases
1:25.3	looked at that with a little bit of envy.
1:28.5	I know this is a 500 team.
1:30.5	But by the way, going 500, there are a lot of cynics in the world.
1:34.6	And so we have to, we have to, I'm talking about people on the banks of the Three Rivers
1:39.2	who call themselves Steelers fans who are saying, this is what we're celebrating yinns,
1:44.5	this is gay mediocrity.
1:46.4	This is what we is.
1:47.3	You don't have to celebrate it,
1:48.9	but it is an achievement to not have a losing season
