All right, so we start hour number two. You know, something I'll mention numerous times. You've got a lot of Steeler fans who like to say, hey, Rome, you're just one of those national voices that really doesn't know what you're talking about when it comes to what's going on here. And I always say, all right, fine. I'm not going to push back on that. Enlighten me. Let me know what's going on there. So there I went to somebody who is there,

0:23.2

covers the team, all about the team, played for the team, has won rings with a team,

0:28.8

and I thought dropped some serious knowledge about that team. So Steelers,

0:32.8

what is your reaction to what you just heard from Max Stark? And I thought, given who he is, he's in an interesting spot in the sense that he played

Play for or played for Mike Tomlin.

1:47.9
