Summary

NFL Week 8 is in the books. And I think we can all agree that it's a crime the Denver Broncos only bust out the Orange Crush Uniforms three times a season. They pop. The Steelers throwbacks? Not so much. They looked putrid. But you know who doesn't look that way? Jon Hamm! Yes, the Jon Hamm aka Don Draper aka Cyclone Simpson aka the guy who, true story, kicked our own Dave Dameshek out of their fantasy football league joins the show for a wide ranging interview that includes his thoughts on... ham. Plus, Geoff Schwartz argues why no one should be mad at Myles Garrett's for his contract. Just enjoy the sacks people!

0:00.0	The other day I text Andy Reid and I got a text back and I thought it was Andy Reid,
0:06.0	but some guy selling pigs, but I sounded good. I shouldn't have told you all that,
0:10.0	so y'all would have thought I actually talked to Andy Reid, but I didn't.
0:16.0	When Terry Bradshaw talking about his text messages with pig sellers is only the second most embarrassing thing to happen with the Steelers. You know it was a bad Sunday. Yeah, the Steelers are out of sorts again,
0:27.6	and Mike Tomlin is now football's Robert De Niro, which is to say a legend. Bob's a legend. Just ignore a Rocky and Bullwinkle in the war with Grandpa.
0:35.6	And most everything else he's done the past decade.
0:38.4	And sure, Mike Tomlin is iconic.
0:40.4	Never has had a losing record, don't you know?

1:10.6	LeBoe or Kevin
1:11.5	Colbert to blame. Tomlin is living Bill Parcell's dream. He's cooking the meal from the ingredients
1:16.9	he chose. That was his handpick, QB out there, the one he wanted over Jackson Dart. That was his
1:22.5	handpicked, highly paid, highly talented 25 defense that Tomlin said might be historic out there. Getting humiliated, same as it was against DeCrepp of Joe Flacco and the aforementioned Fields and Sam Darnold. And I'll bet Indiana Times is licking his chops right now. And if that happens, there'll be no one for Mike Tomlin to blame but himself. Unless he can figure out how to install bradshaw for the stretch run he'd be a good
1:45.2	scapegoat or scape pig let's start the show hi hello my fellow football americans a handsome one for
