All right, Jeff. Jeff Hathorne joining us for the final segment as well today. Social media's biggest loser brought to you by Awaken 180 Weight Loss. Visit them at awaken180weightloss.com. Who is it today, oh limitless wonder? Malzi. Why? What did he do? I don't know. I just like to say Malzi for that. I'm sure we... Oh, Miles Garrett is social media's biggest loser. Miles Garrett, yeah. Did you see that, Jeff? What was he, 95 in a 70? Yeah. It's his ninth speeding ticket. Many of them have been over 100 miles an hour because he thinks he's my old Garrett. He can get away with it or what? Come on. Nine tickets in how many years? I mean, I don't know. 2018, I think, since he's went to Cleveland. It's unbelievable.
That's ridiculous. I mean, in all seriousness, it's lucky he hasn't killed somebody. Well, he did roll his car once. Yeah, he did damage to himself. Hopefully he won't do it to somebody else until he gets this habit fixed up. What's cooking brought to you by your local Geico rep, Tim Hester. Thank you, Mr. Hester. Very kindly. And rain all day, a high of 64. Jeff Harding's a low of 51. James Farrier, the Farrier Pigeon. Fan weather brought to you by Secure Money Advisors. You want to retire in Florida and get out of this weather? Let Secure Money Advisors get your retirement on track. Looks like we've gotten a little bit of a break from the rain right now too, Joe. Sun is popping out right now. You can feel the rays here in the studio.
Farrier's the best free agent signing up. Yeah, in Steelers history. Best trade in Steelers history would be Stobetis. Got to be. Yeah, it's got to be. Excluding draft day trades. Like, didn't they trade up to get Polamalu? Yeah, I'm not talking about that. I know. I'm just talking about player trade. Although that happened on draft day, if I recall. Yes, it did. It was cool to see Ferrier. No, I don't know if it did. They had the reunion this year, and he had his two boys, and he was such a proud dad, having the boys be able to let them see where he, here's the locker room, I was out on this field. Probably the exact same thing. than when they played. They said, oh, look, Dad, a sandbox. And it was awesome.
I mean, that guy was a glue. And not only glue, but what do you have, 150 tackles a year? Yeah, he was really good. And tackle machine inside. Should the Steelers have traded for D.J. Moore? Some people seem to think this, including Jack Kilgrove, your old friend from Waynesburg, a limitless wonder. Buffalo gets D.J. Moore in a fifth-round pick. Chicago gets a second-round pick. So would you have traded a second rounder for DJ Moore, gentlemen? Second rounder? I thought it was going to be more third or fourth. So how much does it cost to involve with him? About $40 million, at least $40 million in guarantees still. I'll say no on that. I say no. I say no. I think there are enough receivers in the draft that I want that second round pick.
Right, at a much more affordable price, and someone's going to come in and spark maybe. Twin Cities, would you have? I actually would have, yes, but the reason why I would have done that is because of the types of picks that I do have, which is three-thirds, where you could even package some of those to move back up into the second round if there's somebody that intrigues you. Yeah, I don't think I would have done this. No thank you to that. I'd rather just draft a receiver, wouldn't you? Yeah. Sign one in free agency and you could draft one. You could do both. You could have traded for more and still drafted one in the first round. There are other free agents out there to get to that you can get probably at a lesser price than that.
Yeah, but you think Alec Pierce is going to come here? Do you think Juwan Jennings is going to come here? I don't know. You got to try to see if you can fit him in. Why not? How about the game tonight, Jeff? We need a prediction from you. Sabres, Penguins. They have 39 wins in Buffalo. But they only have two more points, I think, than the Penguins. The Penguins have managed to get a lot of close games as a result of loser points, but they need winner points.
