Welcome to Extra Points.

Now here's your host, Cousin Sal, and his good, good pals, Dave Damashak and Martin Weiss.

All right, welcome to the Extra Points Podcast, part of the Extra Points Podcasts Network.

Cousin Sal coming to you on a Tuesday morning.

Yeah, Spaghetti and Meat Falls are fiddling with the knobs. Babyface, Joel Solomon is producing this mess. Oh, Scott Holmes is with us too, the Gris. And joining me is always my dear, dear pals, Dave Damashik, Martin Weiss. What is happening, fellas? We are in the thick of it. I was telling the AEO guys, we can't turn around now, guys. There's no turning around. We're in the thick of it.

It's all football. happening, fellas. We are in the thick of it. I was telling the A.A.O. guys, we can't turn around

now, guys. There's no turning around. We're in the thick of it. It's all football all the time. I don't even care if we were weeks away from a game. That's exactly how I felt when I was sitting there watching Jimmy, what's his name, Jordan Love throw interception after interception after interception as I was trying to get a look at

Trey Lance. I was thinking it was Aaron

Rogers. He might have been right in the way that he played all of this. But the point is, I was watching a preseason game until the third quarter. And Dave, you're wrong. Preseason football, it's not regular season football. I understand that, but it has its own merits. You shut all over preseason football last week. I have to push back. He doesn't want to admit it. He loves it. He loves

it. He watches. He's taking care. He loves this George Pickens. It's undeniable. Shaq, you got a good

receiver. You got a good receiver on a team all of a sudden for the Steelers. It's very exciting,

and it's pushing me into my corner and I'm sure you're Sal starting to

take a posture for your Cowboys, but just returning from New York a few things.

It's funny how provincial you get when you visit the homeland.

Sal all of a sudden, it's not enough that he has the Metropolitan's.

Now he's

claiming the Brooklyn Dodgers too. So by so so wait, so whoever wins Dodgers, Mets and goes

to the World Series. That's it. Cousin Sal's a winner. You also, I detect much as people say

when I come back from a trip to Pittsburgh, um, my accent comes out a little bit. You sound exactly like Chris Russo right now. Is that right? Yeah. Oh my God. We're getting excited, right? And now college football. I mean, we're two weeks away from college football everybody. Hold on. Where do I have to go to get rid of this Chris Russo? Should I go to Hawaii for a week?

I can't carry this

Chris Russo accent if that is accurate. Yeah, no, but you're right. I did come back from New York. I landed late last night and watched Better Call. So you're not Better Call Saul fans, right? I had to watch the finale. I landed at midnight and was up until 2 a.m. watching the finale.

I think they did a very good job.
