Summary

Dave weighs in on the NFL’s new rule to expand eligible jersey numbers for certain positions and he asks for more time (02:30). Cousin Sal has an interesting idea on how to refund NBA ticket holders based on if a star sits because of load management (14:15). The guys discuss Mike Tomlin signing a 3-year extension with the Steelers and over/under 1.5 how many more Super Bowls he’ll get to with the Steelers (21:45). Then Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin joins the show and explains why he doesn’t want the Cowboys to retire the number 88 and wants to see it on the field. Plus, meeting Drew Pearson for the first time, on why Jimmy Johnson wanted him to keep the #47 at the University of Miami and why Steelers’ fans needed someone to blame for their losing streak and took it out on JuJu Smith-Schuster dancing (25:15). "The Playmaker" also recalls nearly getting thrown off the team at the University of Miami because of a piece of steak, getting drafted by the Cowboys and in the NFL Draft it’s difficult to find greatness because you have to see if players have more than just talent, but the commitment and hunger to win (43:00). Michael Irvin gives his thoughts on Julian Edelman and the Hall of Fame and why there should be a slot WR position for the Hall of Fame for players like Edelman and Hines Ward. Finally, who the 49ers might take in the NFL Draft (58:00). Sal remembers the time his father came to watch him host Win Ben Stein’s Money (01:13:30). Learn more about your ad choices.
