Rock back where you at?

0:13.9

Yo, what's going on?

0:15.7

It's Friday, October 17th.

0:17.8

I'm Jeff.

0:18.7

How about last night?

0:19.6

Wasn't that fun?

0:20.5

I mean, it wasn't fun if you're a Steelers fan. But even so, got to appreciate that. Two men. They're 40. They're over 40. Both of those guys out there combined age of what, like 81 years old? That was crazy.

Combined seven passing touchdowns. What a fun game last night. I think that's a sign of

1:23.9

to play him because essentially the advice they got from physicians was this injury

1:31.7

requires rest. Bowers did not want to rest, but ultimately he would have not gotten better had he

1:37.3

not decided to rest. So we've had two missed games, right? This will be three. Next week will be a

1:43.5

buy and then we'll be essentially at the

1:46.2

fifth week. If this is in fact like an MCL sprain, which, you know, regular MCL sprain,
