for people, not just in Pittsburgh as a sports town, but expressing dim cynicism equals gravitas.

I think in people's minds, at least that it makes them feel important to be, to come out of the gate with, with, with, with some piss and vinegar.

But the, the thing that makes no sense is like, well, why they, why they, they, they get rid of Tomlin Tomlin moves on and they just go to, to Mike McCarthy.

What's the difference between them two and Mike Florio.

Who, obviously, I would think knows better, saying, like, if they were going to do all this, why didn't they go after John Harbaugh?

I mean, aside from the fact that he's the Ravens coach, which they would never do, which would rule him out as the Ravens guy.

They would never hire him.

That's not a Steelers-y thing.

But John Harbaugh is not what Mike McCarthy is.

develops qbs everybody mike tomlin does not develop qbs that is specifically what mike mccarthy does about as well as anybody just because he's been around for a while doesn't negate the fact that's the goal whether or not it works is another matter but that's the thinking of hiring mike mccarthy

I think he's just trying to take it down.

Because I get the reaction.

All right.

I think we've said just about it all.

I thought this was a real good episode.

We covered a lot of ground about the title games and what it means going forward for Super Bowl 60.

Let's catch up before that game kicks off to get our final picks with Jeff Schwartz.

In the meantime, make sure you're checking out Jeff Schwartz's Smarter Than You, Bear Bets, and all the rest of it.

Great stuff from our guy Schwartz.

There he goes.
