00:00So, uh, it all starts tonight in the dog pound, and I would agree with Morenci in the sense
00:09that, uh, 45 and raining, uh, is candy ass.
00:15That's just not cold.
00:17It's chilly and it's wet.
00:20That's it.
00:21Let's not get ridiculous here.
00:23I walked out today with no coat on right that a car and it was raining and 40 degrees and
00:29I was like, Oh, it's a little nipsey Russell, whatever.
00:33Well, look, I know that Gabe got that weather report.
00:36I mean, I, I looked a few minutes ago as well, and obviously every weather, we know this,
00:41every weather report is somewhat different.
00:43I mean, they've got wintery mix with up to two inches of snow through 10 30, 11 o'clock.
00:48So I mean, they got, they got some white stuff, uh, falling down and look, I don't think that
00:55I don't think it's just going to be raining in 45, uh, the whole night there.
00:59I think that you will get to see some flurries, but we're not talking about, you know, to
01:03snowball here.
01:04I mean, it's not like they're not going to be able to move, uh, you know, there, there's
01:08going to be, uh, some room to run between the Steelers and the Browns tonight.
01:13But you know, people hear the word weather in a football game and they automatically
01:19just start running to, Oh, this game's an under, Oh, this game's an under, don't worry.
01:23Oh, they're not scoring.
01:24This is a 10 to 10, seven game.
01:26Most of the time, not the case.
01:27Does it happen sometimes?
01:28Sure.
01:29Uh, they do start week 12 tonight in Cleveland at the dog pound.
01:35It's a Friday staple on coast to coast, but a day early this week on a Thursday because
01:41they're playing tonight, Mike Tomlin's weekly words of wisdom.
01:49The environmental component has our attention, man, Thursday night in a hostile division
01:54environment is something that we need to be ready for.
01:58We've been really fortunate in road game environments this year, in terms of the support of our
02:02fans and their ability to acquire tickets, man, DC, Atlanta, Vegas, Denver, et cetera.
02:11I don't know that that's going to happen in, in Cleveland.
02:14I know as a collective, we better be prepared for a hostile environment, the dog pound,
02:18et cetera.
02:19And so we got some new people, whether they're new to us and new to the national football
02:23league that needs some quick education while we, we do the physical work that's, that's
02:28necessary to position ourselves for performance or you learn about yourself every week.
02:35But when the variables change, primetime football, road, football, et cetera.
02:40The short week is a component of it as well.
02:42I'm excited about components, maturity level, the professionalism of this group as they
02:47embark on the preparation associated with a short week.
02:52I mean, he gets them all in.
02:54He really does.
02:55The words of wisdom, Mike Tomlin's weekly words of wisdom as they get ready for a primetime
03:02football division football tonight on a Thursday, get acclimated to all of the elements this
03:09evening for them, especially if you're new to the league, new to the league or new to
03:14the team.
03:15He said, Russell Wilson's new to the team.
03:174-0, though, as the Steelers starter, he's got 942 passing yards and seven touchdowns.
03:23Just remember, they thought, you know, Cook, he was finished in Denver.
03:28I just absolutely, absolutely finished.
03:31But that has not been the case so far in Pittsburgh.
03:35On the other side, it's been a bad year in Cleveland.
03:38They're 2-8 now.
03:39They got off to a very bad start with Deshaun Watson, who eventually got hurt.
03:44And that means that Jameis Winston has now been in there leading the offense at the quarterback
03:50position.
03:51They actually obviously score more points since Jameis has been in there because Watson's
03:54a hack now.
03:55But one thing you can always get out of Jameis is you're going to get a pretty decent quote.
04:00Excited to be part of the Pittsburgh-Cleveland rivalry starting tonight.
04:05I believe one regionally, Pittsburgh is right down the road east of us.
04:10So it's about two and a half hours right of us.
04:12And I think that breeds the rivalry, you know.
04:16I don't think a lot of people talk about Cincinnati down south.
04:19I think there's more in-state.
04:21But just growing up, seeing the blood, sweat and tears that happened in these games, like
04:27these games are a hard-nosed, hard-fought, true-definition, cold-weather football game.
04:33Football-weather football game.
04:34Like this is the premiere.
04:35When you're watching, growing up watching NFL fans, hearing that amazing voice come on
04:40when you see the Steelers.
04:41And then he always talked about the Raiders, but you know, Steelers are in the Browns division.
04:45So, you know, this is a big game and we got to get this for our fans.
04:50There he is.
04:51Jameis.
04:52Jameis Jameis talking about John Visenda.
04:56The autumn winds.
04:58The autumn winds.
04:59I mean, hey, those were so great when they used to do that.
05:05Everything is so different now.
05:06It's just not the same.
05:07I did the Top 10 show for 15 years and then COVID, that was the end of it.
05:14They never did it again, which was a fail.
05:16That was a fail.
05:18They have not done the Top 10 show since then.
05:21They stopped doing it.
05:23And it's one of those things that one day they'll come back to it, right?
05:27Like 10 years from now.
05:28You know, we should do the Top 10s again.
05:30We can re-break.
05:31At that point, you can basically do them all again, right?
05:33Because you have so many more years of play in the league that you can kind of do things
05:38over at that point.
05:39That's probably what they're waiting for in terms of doing it.
05:42Three and a half for the Steelers here tonight.
05:45And this total sits at 36 and a half with the wintry mix expected to fall this evening
05:53in Cleveland.
05:54John Visenda is not walking through that door.
05:57Larry Bird is not walking through that door.
06:00Anyway, it's the Steelers.
06:02I'm done with all the weather and wintry mix and Famous Jameis and John Visenda and Voodoos
06:13and gouging out the Voodoo Dolls' eyeballs and nose, plucking their fingers.
06:19I've had enough.
06:20Steelers, getting involved again with their, you know, according to the Sextoy, he said
06:30they're anemic offense, they're a terrible quarterback, they're eighth in the league
06:36running game, they're a multitude now of players that stand out.
06:42Whether it's Watt, Minka, whether it's Pickens, Williams, Fryer-Muth, Nagy, Hayward, I mean,
06:54I could sit here all day.
06:55They have way better players.
06:56They have a way better team.
06:58They have way better fans.
07:00They'll take over that stadium tonight, too.
07:02There'll be fistfights galore in the parking lot.
07:04Give me the Steelers.
07:06I gave you all the bad Steeler numbers earlier in the week.
07:09I didn't want to give you all those again, but I did have one other number I'd give you.
07:13It also doesn't really link to the Steelers, but I mean, I have to do these things.
07:18It's part of the job.
07:19Underdogs are 48 and 31.
07:22That's 61% against the spread in AFC North divisional games since 2018.
07:29So the Dogs have covered at 61% in the North, just like the Steelers did against the Ravens
07:35on Sunday in that matchup.
07:37So the Dogs have been good at covering, but we're not scared of that.
07:40We're not scared of all the voodoo and all the things that they want to try to throw
07:44at you when it comes to the Steelers this week.
07:47We will continue to press on and lay the three in after that.
07:49The Steelers are better than the Ravens, okay?
07:52They keep talking about how great the Ravens are on TV every week, that they're so invincible.
07:59And they're going to the Super Bowl and all this other bullshack.
08:02They just love to talk about the Ravens being better than the Chiefs.
08:07They said it all last year.
08:08They've said it this year.
08:10All they have to do is get them at home in the playoffs and it's over, and that was a
08:14disaster as well.
08:15I mean, I don't even know why they do it anymore, where they're like, who's the best three teams
08:20in the AFC?
08:21Who's the best five teams in the NFL?
08:24Let's get this guy's list, that guy's list.
08:27Can we get a hot take over here?
08:29Can I get a tamale?
08:31Can I get a shot of tequila?
08:32Gotta have a hot take.
08:33Gotta have a tamale.
08:34I mean, honestly, where's your hot takes?
08:36Where's your oven-baked potato scarver, huh?
08:39You gotta have some taters.
08:41I got tutties for tonight.
08:43Let's go.
08:44Let's do it, in fact, for the Steelers and the Browns.
08:46Now, I think the Steelers win.
08:47I think this is an under, and I'm going to buy in a little bit to the weather.
08:51Jalen Warren's been real good the last few weeks since he started getting at 100%.
08:57First tutty for Warren tonight at 10 to 1.
09:00Play the any time as well, which I think was about 220, 230, in that range.
09:05If Cleveland scores, I'll go with Chubb at 155.
09:07And how about the Steeler, Dee, at plus 650 tonight, getting either a pick or a fumble
09:12to the house.
09:13Let's go.
