0:03

Welcome back to a Donnie Football Friday. Our last hour, a power hour, you might call it. Donnie, I think it's going to be fun, except I think I'm going to lose in the quiz show again. You've got to win one of these weeks, Joe. I know, because, well, no, I give you credit. I was going to make an excuse. Limits really doesn't give me questions in the old wheelhouse, which is 70sports. And there it is. 7D Sports. It's a football Friday.

How does Joe feel about his chances in the quiz show?

Greensburg's own Donnie Football brought to you by Smale Kia Route 30 in Greensburg. The text line on which you can communicate with my dear friend Limits is brought to you by Edgar Snyder and Associates Personal Injury Law Firm where they always say there's never a fee unless we get money for you. And the fan hotline is presented by Sullivan Super Service, Pittsburgh's trusted plumbing and HVAC provider for over 50 years. Let's go. Let's get this thing moving. It's another quiz show. Donnie's already clinched the season series. I'm playing for pride, and I got a lot of it. I plan to win. I'm playing for next year, Donnie. All right, Joe. Here we go. He's playing for a draft pick. Here's the first question to you, Joe.

1:07

Joe, this former Lions pro bowler in the 1960s later moved on and became a coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Who was he? Dick LeBeau. Joe starts out with a correct answer. A correct answer for Joe. I don't want to hear many complaints. That's about as easy as a softball as you could possibly throw. I was trying to throw one to you there. Throw a softball. I'll take it. Trying to give you one there, Joe. Let's be honest about this. I've competed in regulation time. You have. You've beat me in late innings. My bullpens stink. Yeah. But I get leads, right? You do. All right. You're like Colin Holderman in the eighth inning. I know. Okay, Donnie. Donnie, on Thanksgiving Day in 1991, Jerome Bettis was at the coin toss at the start of overtime in the famous heads-tails game.

2:00

This Steeler was at the coin toss with Jerome Bettis. Who was he? Carnell Lake, and it was 1998. You said 91. Oh, I said 91. It was 98, and you are correct that it was Carnell Lake. My God, you're even correcting the guy asking the questions. This is unbelievable limits. Wonderful job there, Donnie. All right, Joe, to you. Wonderful job, Donnie. Since Ray Fittipaldo spoiled one of the questions, we will stay in the game. When Juju Smith-Schuster scored a 97-yard touchdown against the Lions from Ben Roethlisberger, there was only one other touchdown that was scored in the game. Yeah. Who scored the touchdown?

What was the first quiz question related to the Lions and Steelers?

2:42

Le'Veon Bell. I don't really like that you guys are obliterating the quiz show, but you're three for three. I was there. Were you actually there?

Who was the former Lions pro bowler that became a Steelers coach?

2:51

I was. Joe was there. I was. I covered that game. Yes, I did, Limits. We already told the whole story earlier about how after the game. Rode down the elevator with Matt Stafford and his wife. There you go. You missed that story, Limits? No, I was listening. I just wanted to see if you were remembering, recalling it correctly. All right. All right. The next question goes to Donnie. Donnie, on November 14, 2021, the Steelers and Lions tied 16-16 at Heinz Field. Wait, what year? 2021. In a game that Mason Rudolph started after Ben Roethlisberger was diagnosed with COVID a day before the game. Donnie's all over this. See, this is Donnie's wheelhouse right here. I can tell he's just revving up to answer this and probably correct you on the question.

3:36

Go ahead. Okay, Donnie. Two players fumbled for the Steelers late in that game. Can you name me the two players that fumbled for Pittsburgh that ended up causing what could have been a win to be a tie? Pat Fryermuth. That's one. That's one. And our boy Deontay Dropson. Deontay Dropson could not hold on. That is correct. I wouldn't have gotten the second one. I remember the Fryermuth fumble like it was yesterday. That's the one that plunged it. I also remember Mason Rudolph throwing a ground ball to Ray-Ray McLeod in the end zone. You remember that, Donnie? That was pretty early in the game, wasn't it? In field practice with Rick Sofield.
