What are the latest NFL free agency signings and their impacts?
I love you. I love you. They call them trolls or whatever. People that just sit behind a computer in their mom's basement. You idiot. It was a joke. Hold on.
Should the Steelers have signed Devin Lloyd and traded Patrick Queen?
Let me put my wooden teeth in so you can understand me better. And we're sitting here again. We're sitting here again talking about the same thing. Now you're insulting my intelligence.
Now I'm insulting your integrity. That's in Cranky Land. All aboard! I love that new ending. That is real good. And it reminds me of Bob and the times that he's here, which aren't many. I sure do miss him. Do you?
I miss him very much.
How did Paul Skenes perform in the World Baseball Classic?
We'll see him tomorrow. Let's hop aboard. Where are we heading? This is the Limitless Express taking you to... NFL free agency, Joe. Wow.
What does John Smoltz say about the Pirates' postseason chances?
Lots of moves were made, including Devin Lloyd signing a three-year, $45 million a year deal with the Carolina Panthers. Yeah. You might be saying, limits? Why are you asking me this? Limits?
Why are you asking? Oh, I know what you're going to ask.
Should the Steelers assign Devin Lloyd to this contract and trade Patrick Queen?
Holy ostrich milk. Yes, I think you're on to something there. He could have followed in the footsteps of Greg Lloyd, right? Yeah, he's a really good player, actually. And Carolina, they're an interesting little outfit, aren't they? They may be getting better, although I still question the quarterback there. But you raise an excellent point, Limits. Devin Lloyd, he hammers people from that spot. I like him a lot. Even though his tackle numbers were weirdly low last season, weren't they? Although he did have five interceptions, including one for a 99-yard touchdown. You know, to be honest, I'd probably have to look a little more into the advanced numbers on him. I have an idea, but I'm not going to claim that I watched Devin Lloyd play week in and week out.
Yeah. So, yeah, I would have been intrigued by him, but I think I'd have to take a deeper dive to deliver a truly educated opinion. I'm sorry, Limits. That's okay. I didn't expect you to ask me about Devin Lloyd right off the bat.
No, as you shouldn't have. But I'll ask you this. So we saw the Kenneth Gainwell deal, more money than Rico Dowdle. The Broncos re-signed J.K. Dobbins to a two-year $20 million deal. $8 million is fully guaranteed. Who has had a ton of injuries in his career, even though I think he's a pretty good back. Rico Dowdle seems to be the running back that went for the fewest amount of money. Travis Etienne got a big deal with the Saints. Did the Steelers make the best decision of any team at running back with Rico Dowdle?
Yes, limits, they did. But why aren't we talking about hockey and baseball? I thought that's where we were going in this segment. I already said that I thought that Rico Dowdle. No, it's not a free agent. I asked you. Oh, my God. Yes, he was the best surprise.
What went wrong for RMU basketball in the Horizon League semifinals?
He was the best pick for me for the Steelers, the best signing. We've been through that. That was the opening to the show. I phrased it a different way. He is back to back. Thousand-yard seasons at 4.6 yards a carry. He's a physical runner. He's well-preserved. He hasn't missed a lot of games over the last few years. I like him.
How did RMU's performance affect their NCAA tournament hopes?
In fact, I like him and Warren as a complement to each other, maybe more than I liked Gainwell and Warren. I said all that already, though.
You are throwing a waterfall's worth of cold water so far on this segment, but we will change gears. Please. We will transition to last night's World Baseball Classic, where your friend Limits was locked into every single pitch, and Joe, it was incredible. The performance that Team USA had against Mexico, a 5-3 victory. Paul Skeens goes four scoreless innings, allows just one hit, strikes out seven. Of course, no runs allowed by Paul Skeens. What is there? It made me just crave Skeens in big games in September in the postseason because that game had such a big feeling to it. And with Skeens being on the mound, it gave a big Pirates feel to it.
Yeah. And I heard Smoltz say it's time for the Pirates to win.
Yes, I have the quote. What is the quote? I tweeted it out. Smoltz said, Yes.
