Welcome back to a Donnie football Friday. Why did I do the weather already, Donnie? I did the whole hour's worth of reads because it went so long in the first segment. I thought it was the end of the hour and it's only the second segment. My apologies for that. But we are. That Bowser Chevy, I'm looking at new cars. If I was still drinking caffeine, I would have a down payment on one today. I just have a hankering to buy a new car. I've had my Camry since 2020. It's been paid off. I think I could start making payments on a car. But why would I want to do that, Donnie? Isn't that stupid? Or is it smart?
I would keep going with the car that you got. But then again, I'm somebody that normally has a vehicle basically until it falls apart.
Yeah. I normally sell around 100. I'll tell you what. This is the spot here. Power of Bowser. There's some beautiful vehicles out there. I'm going to keep looking. And if you get me to drink a cup of coffee, I may drive away in a new car today.
I'm teetering. I've always been impressed with the array of, like, the Grand Prixs that Gary has lined up. Like, some of them have been featured in notable races.
There were starter cars. Yes.
Indy 500, I think, for one of them.
I'd love to take a spin. Not today, necessarily, with the roads, but I'd love to take a spin in some of those. Back to our six-pack, which is turning into a 12-pack. Limits, crack one. We'll get to your calls in a moment as well. Big Ben won't let go of this one. He thinks Mike Tomlin may come back in college and try to win a national title somewhere. Limits, once upon a time, Tomlin was asked if he was interested. I can't remember if it was USC or LSU or both. And he didn't like the question.
That'll be the last time that I address it. And not only today, but moving forward. Never say never, but never. Okay? Anybody else got any questions about any college jobs? There's not a booster with a big enough blank check. That was one of his greatest rants ever.
There's not a booster with a big enough blank check. He didn't like that questioning, but I don't know, I didn't ask the question, but if I did, I wouldn't have felt like I was insulting somebody by asking him if he would go to a higher paying job than the one he had then. I think USC or LSU would have come in with literally that, a blank check and said, fill it out. But anyway, I'm not seeing this ever, Donnie. Are you?
No, no. I'm really starting to have doubts that people had probably around this time last week, maybe even earlier, that he ever even coaches again. Because he's been out of sight, out of mind. And, you know, more power to him. I mean, he's not the Steelers head football coach anymore. He's free to do whatever, you know, with his life. I know that ESPN caught him at his, what, daughter's gymnastics match a couple of weeks ago. But I'm wondering if Mike Tomlin ever...
coaches again he resigned we we had the same convert like i know i you know i was younger but like the same conversations were had about bill cower yeah never coached again i know sometimes once they get out of it and they realize there's a life to be had uh and the money it money enough for generations to come you realize maybe maybe i just want to live now kind of like ron had that revelation Ron read that Jimmy Johnson book, Quality Time Left, QTL, and off he went to Florida. You could have knocked me over with a feather, Donnie. Next. Andy Weidel looks like he's staying because the Falcons went out and got themselves a GM. I'm assuming you think this is good news for the Steelers?
Yeah, I think it's good to have Andy Weidel still around, still in the fold, because one of the big criticisms of Omar Khan from people is that, well, he's always been more of a numbers guy or analytics guy. He's not necessarily a football guy. Andy Weidel is. Andy Weidel seems to have more control over the draft board, and that might even take a step up now because – To Mike Tomlin's credit, but also something that you could argue that it kind of hurt them, he loved, loved the offseason part of football where he was able to go to the Senior Bowl.
