are bonded by a shared blue-collar ethos.

And I'm here to say, what a load of shit.

Listen, I know the entertainment and sports media industries both love their mythology, but come on already, everybody.

It's 2026.

You know, my hometown and LA have more in common than Jens might realize.

Believe it or not, neither Hollywood nor Pittsburgh suffers fools.

Well, wait, you can be a fool as long as you're good at your job.

You can be from Orange County, Sydney, Australia, or Miami of Ohio.

What matters is taking care of business when it's go time.

By the way, why are 95% of our best actors from Australia?

It's weird, right?

Either way, it's not about blue collar, it's about competence.

And that's the disconcerting thing with the Pittsburgh Steelers right now.

We sure they know what they're doing?

It's been seven years since Ben Roethlisberger hurt his elbow.

How long is this gonna take, fellas?

Before you answer, consider Pittsburgh native Curt Cignetti just did it in two years.

It's been 16 years since the Steelers played in the Super Bowl, and their best option to change that, they think at least, is a starting QB who hasn't played in the Super Bowl in 16 years.

So in other words, you guys are just giving up, huh?

The roster's great, but you need to try and find a real answer at QB already, and no, an old hippie who's afraid of a pass rush just delays that.
