There was a pretty famous losing season for the Steelers way back in 1969.

They won a coin flip for the number one overall pick, took a guy by the name of Terry Bradshaw.

Five years later, they won four of the next six Super Bowls.

There's value in losing, and in Pittsburgh, they just celebrate

We went 9-8.

We went 10-7 and lost in the wildcard round.

Mike McCarthy's good enough to go 10-7 and lose in the wildcard round.

But if you actually want to win big in modern football, it's a ridiculous hire.

Everybody knows that.

Yeah.

The difference, though, in the NFL, if you have an awful record, you're guaranteed a top pick.

In the NBA, you have an awful record.

You still have to play ping pong balls with lottery and have a 14% chance, and there may or may not be a guy in that.

There is no value in the middle in the NFL.

There's none.

It's why I argued correctly against the Chicago football brain trust Illuminati that Grody works with all the time at House Hall about there was absolutely no value in that Bears team learning how to win.

Oh, yeah.

And they should lose out so they could get the highest draft pick possible.

They got that draft pick.

They traded it to Carolina.
