How are you doing this wonderful evening?

0:10.2

I am doing great.

0:11.4

I just walked in the door from doing the postgame show at the radio station.

0:16.6

And, man, I assume many of you will be like our callers and myself and Mike Frasuda and everybody that was there.

0:25.3

That hard to come away with many negatives to this outing in Jacksonville for your Pittsburgh Steelers.

0:32.2
