Summary

C-Mac and Willie discuss the Yankees' perceived lack of appreciation and the Steelers' similar situation. Willie is optimistic about Aaron Rodgers' recovery and potential impact on the Steelers, leading C-Mac to suggest a Jets curse if Rodgers succeeds elsewhere. C-Lo provides an update, after a "Sandlot" quote discussion, and expresses concern over children's language. The segment also covers Giancarlo Stanton's hitting, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo's critique of Aaron Boone (which C-Mac dismisses), and the ability of Justin Fields and Geno Smith to handle criticism. The hour concludes with C-Mac and Willie defending Boone while noting an area for improvement.

They tweet the lineup out. And they had Ben Rice. They list, you know, everybody in their position. So it's, you know, Grisham, Centerfield, whatever. And they got to Ben Rice. And instead of C for Catcher, they put D. It must have been a typo.
