Now there's a pirate sticker to my left that's right where your face is.

Or was it Callis that put it there?

I think it was probably Crowley.

It definitely was.

It's literally right where your face is, which our communication is vital to the show here.

And there's a Pirates sticker.

Yeah, that's a horrible spot for that.

In front of your face.

That's like putting the ball right down the middle for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

at the plate.

But that ain't what we came here to talk about today as Bob's cardboard mannequin stares over at me.

Bob off today.

We came here to talk about the Penguins, and I'm not sure, and I was racking my brain on this, that I can remember a more unlikely playoff team in Pittsburgh sports.

Can you out there at 412-928-9370?

I mean, the Mason Rudolph Steelers?

That was unlikely, but that team was underachieving.

And we always know the Steelers are going to be right around .500.

Were they a game below when Rudolph came in?

Were they right at .500?

That was surprising what they did late in the year, but it's not like they beat a bunch of juggernauts.
