The Around the NFL podcast kills it at Trivia night. Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast. My name is Dan Hanses joined in a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Wessling and Greg Rosenthal. What is up boys? Hey Dan, that's actually a good point. I feel like if we ever did this right now it's 25 cabs, 25 locations. What's a good point?

If we all came together as a force and went to the local trivia night down at the motor, is that what it's called again? The garage? The garage. And we only been there like 74 times. We pulled the intellect of the four of us, perhaps we would win. I think we might. We kind of cover all the bases.

Most places, but not the garage. That is a very crowded field of trivia minds in that on that trivia night. I've been on a couple teams that came close in that room. Yeah, but you would not I would not count us out as what I'm saying. There's also like five other taverns within walking distance that have trivia nights. Those taverns we can dominate. That's see that's that's a big fish small pond. Right. We're going to do it. Let's do it. Who's in? I'd be I'm not a hard sell. I think you can't go in with nine or 10 drinks. And you're not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be a hard sell. I'm not going to be a hard sell. I'm not going to be a hard sell. I'm not going to be a hard sell. I'm not going to be a hard sell. I'm not going to be a hard sell. I'm not going to be a hard sell. I'm not going

to be a hard sell. I'm not going to be a hard sell. I'm not going to be a hard sell. Okay. Just jump in a little bit. Don't go anywhere. Just jump in. And go here. Just jump in. You got to go in. You got to go in. Cognizant. Right. We need to do that. We need to diversify. I mean, you ask. Yeah. I mean, even when I did have all the time of the world. I was not looking to spend at trivia night with a bunch of jimokes all right. There you go very on brand. Big show coming up. I mean, why can't the four of us just go out and enjoy each other? That seems like more more fun to me. Dan is trying to

spend much time left on earth. How much do you want to spend at trivia night? What a lot? Come on. Everyone is trying to get through that. Right. I don't want to spend it. You know, at Mitzky concerts, whatever. We all have our own. Well, I tried. All right. Well, the three of us will go. We'll text you and you'll send a photo and tell you how it went. Uh,

key. Well, have fun, guys. Oh, do you want to jump? No, I know. No, she's going with me. She's going with me to the Mitzky concert. She's coming back around. All right. Big show coming up today.

Teams, Mark hates. In fact, I will, I will add a word there. Good teams, Mark hates. Or I could I could have even add a few, which is more like

Teams, Mark hates, but we don't understand why that's a lot of words. Yeah, but that's kind of hitting at it because you because you hate even more teams, but these are the ones that confound us that you hate. I like to quote the latest things on Mark's radar. That's awesome. See all these things are

Mark, do you agree with all these? I think you're getting closer and closer with each retitling of the segment.

Also, we are going to hit the TNF preview. We've had a series of dogs, bad games on Thursday night, but maybe the streak ends on Thursday night in Seattle Packers, Seahawks to two evenly matched teams.

And I feel like we're getting good, a good one. I feel good about this. Greg. I every time these two teams play in Seattle. It's a good one. All right. And for that opener, you went to. I don't really remember. That was a one side of blowout.

Kind of a beat defending champions, but still, you know, too high, you know, whatever Aaron Rogers is in Seattle and the crowds going that's fun. Well, not according to Mark. We'll get to that. We'll get to.

Also, if we have time, we're going to hit up the mailbag, but before we do that, let's start the way we always do with some news.

That's okay. We have the Monday night football crew.

We should clip that off, by the way, attitude in the running for top calls of the year. That's a great idea down the Spanish broadcast, calling Nick Chubbs 92 yard,

who we are touchdown longest play from scrimmage all year by any team. Can we get that broadcast on Monday night football? I think it's impossible. Tell them, I think you have to move to another area of the world. It might be worth it. All right. Let's start with. All right. So Nick Chubb running back on the rise.

Running back completely out of play for this year. And we won't see him again until 2019 is La Viana Bell because the months long saga around whether Bell will report to the Steelers is no more the deadline on Tuesday came and went. He did not sign his franchise tender, which means he foregoes the full 14.45 million. And I like this is a new. This has been an annoyingly reported story all along.

And the most recent one was and $200,000 in benefits. All right. Well, we got you know, 14.5. Four or five million. That's enough. That's why just tell us that eight quarters falling out of his pocket. Exactly. So he kicks that money for whatever reason. He has his reasons. And he's deciding. Don't touch me. Kevin Colbert. The GM of the Steelers issued a statement. I want to confirm that La Viana Bell did not sign his franchise tender today. And as a result, he won't play this season.

The Steelers Greg still have some semblance of leverage when it comes to players not like this totally cuts ties between the two sides, but this has to be the end, right.

It sure sounds like the Steelers are happy to let him go and test the free agent market without making any real effort. Even though that there's some talk that the relationship is fine and who knows they might even make some sort of offer like they did going into this season, which was aggressive.
