Hello, everyone. Welcome to the South Side Beat here on DK. Pittsburgh Sports, brought to you by

Fandul, Chris Hallick, Matt Williamson, here to talk about an actual football game.

That means something that actually counts toward a record. Matt, how excited are you, buddy?

I am psyched.

Last night got me pretty pumped up.

We got another one tonight in Brazil.

That's awesome.

Four days or four games over five days is awesome.

The Sunday slate's phenomenal.

And I'm psyched to see the Steelers. And it's probably

crazy thought for you and me because we've seen them every step of the way. But most people

listening to us right now or watching us right now have not seen Aaron Rogers in a Steeler uniform yet.

I mean, unless you're on the hillside, you've not seen him throw

football with the steel logo on the side of his helmet. That's very true. And I think that's

part of the the trepidation that some fans might have from being optimistic about the season.

Because when you get, you know, for example, a couple of years ago,

Kenny Pickett, perfect pass rating in the preseason, the offense scores a touchdown every

single series that he's on the field.

All of a sudden, people are thinking they're feeling really good about the 2020s.

This stuff's easy, right.

And it did not carry over to the regular season.

Now, they weren't a bad team.
