And hello, Mr. Assison.

Hey, guys. Good morning, man.

Huge game tonight for the Patriots down there in Miami.

Got to keep pace with the surging Pittsburgh Steelers who had quite a game last. I don't know if you guys stayed up to watch it. I did. Yeah, it seems... Yeah, I'm sure you did. Yeah, you guys were all over this game, I'm sure. No, I didn't stay up to watch it. I just see that they've won by a point and Ben Rathlisberger threw for over 500 yards.

He did. It was amazing. They were down by 11 points going into the 4th. I just see that they've won by a point and Ben Rathlisberger threw for over 500 yards.

He did. It was amazing. They were down by 11 points going into the fourth quarter and Joe Flacko actually showed up and played a little football last night.

But an epic collapsed by them and they got really conservative in the fourth quarter, which is, you know, I think no matter how many games I watch and no matter who is playing the game, maybe with the exception of the Patriots, a team that always gets in a position the way that the Baltimore Ravens got themselves into last night. They jump out to this, or they didn't jump out to, but they got, they took a big lead into the fourth quarter, all of a sudden getting real conservative. And the other team was just throwing loosey-goosey

and things are happening for them, the momentum's on their side, completely overwhelm them.

And Baltimore just didn't have what it took, the intestinal fortitude, to fight back and win the game.

But nonetheless, a really interesting game and a very interesting week, as always, in the NFL.

Yeah, okay, so we've been looking forward towards this Steelers Patriots game for a while,

and we've had an internal argument. Do you think that these New England games where they're

blowing out opponents are more important than the Steelers games where they're eking these

things out?

You know, I don't think anything matters.

I think all that matters is that you show up and you play. Like Bill Belichick will tell you, they're not even thinking about the Steelers. They're thinking about the Miami Dolphins. And that's the way you have to do it because in the NFL, if you're not careful, you're going to end up getting tripped up and you're going to lose to a team that you shouldn't lose to,

especially tonight without Rob Grankowski.

And, you know, you're going to this game getting tripped up and you're going to lose to a team that you shouldn't lose to, especially tonight without Rob Grankowski.

And, you know, you go into this game and you just, Miami would love nothing better than to knock off the New England Patriots and knock them out of the, you know, the tie for the number one spot.

So I would just say that, you know, Pittsburgh is a different team now because the loss of a number of players, including Ryan Chazier, one of their best cover linebackers, who really is like the anti-Rob Grankowski.

So it's unfortunate what they're going through with their roster and everything.

But I would just say that they're not the same team that they were four or five weeks ago where their defense was so dominating.
