What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Bob, I feel irrational today.
Irrational? Why?
I don't know. I didn't sleep. I stayed up to watch the Warriors. They stink.
I'm depressed about that.
Yeah, you're wasting your time there. I'm eating peanut butter. I feel like I want to snap for some reason. He can snap at me, Bob. No, I don't want him to snap at you.
Should I call 911? What should I do?
He got mad that I snapped on him because I'm literally addressing him live on the air and he decides to talk to Pony all the time. I didn't get mad.
You do get distracted in there. There's a lot going on back here, Bob.
You stated that too.
No, normally I agree with you, but when you have visitors, you tell them, hey, I'm on the air. Let's go.
The yellow sign that's on outside the room should be a warning sign to visitors, Bob.
I would think a very successful host on this station would be able to identify that, but he just wanted to give me a fist bump, just a kind little gesture.
No, it was more than a fist bump. It was a conversation. Both your mouths were moving.
When you say hello, your mouth is moving.
All right. Before we get to the draft, what do we think of next year's opponents, Bob and Limits? You ask who there are the opponents, I have the answer. Please do, because I don't have them in front of me.
The Steelers opponents. I know three.
Yeah, those three at home, and then the Falcons, Panthers, Broncos, Texans, and Colts. Has the 17th game been determined? Can you look that up, Limits? Let's go over those, Bob. And I know a lot can happen. We're doing this as an enjoyable exercise. Maybe looking at the quarterbacks you're going to see. You're going to see Kevin Stefanski come here with maybe Michael Penix, right?
Yeah, maybe, maybe not. I mean, he got injured. I wasn't all that impressed with everything he did last year. Me neither. That sounds, though, like a challenging game.
Like the Falcons have talent, for sure.
They have a lot of talent. They could run the ball right down your throats. And if the Steelers don't get better stopping the run, you could get a heavy dose of B. John Robinson. How about the Panthers coming to town? Much improved team. Wonder twin?
Yeah, I'm excited to see Bryce Young and what he could do here. Carolina's gotten better. Their offense is better. Their weapons are better. They stink. Steelers should be able to handle them, but who knows who the Steelers are even going to have on their team. I mean, it's probably going to be Aaron Rodgers, but we'll see.
What are the Steelers' upcoming opponents for next season?
I don't know if they can handle them or not. They were 8-9. The Steelers were 9-8. Okay, maybe 10-7, but 10-8 by the end, just like every year. How about Bo Nix and the Broncos coming in, Bob? That'll be a challenge, but I'd rather play them here than Denver.
I totally agree with that, but I think that's going to be a tough game for them. Their defense, more than anything else, if they have Bo Nix on, he'll do his thing, but their defense will make it tough on Mike McCarthy's offense.
And then the Texans are coming back in here with that defense. However, C.J. Stroud might give you nine interceptions in that game.
Yeah, that's the one thing about the postseason. If you ask me, my biggest takeaway, not counting the team that won and the Super Bowl. The demise of C.J. Stroud. Yeah, C.J. Stroud looked so tentative in all the games he played down the stretch and then into the postseason. Doesn't that make the Steelers' 30-6 loss worse?
The fact that the AFC was wide open, the fact that the Patriots got there and got blown out in the Super Bowl, and the fact that C.J. Stroud tried to hand them a game, and all of that, they still lose 30-6?
Totally agree. Yeah, and he was doing everything in his power to keep the Steelers in that game. He's horrible. And he still only scored six points.
And then the Colts are coming here with what quarterback, I wonder? Wonder twin?
Maybe Daniel Jones, depending on what time of year it is and if he's back healthy or not.
Yeah. You know, we're talking about a lot of quarterbacks. Does Anthony Richardson do anything for you?
No. You?
No, I'm just asking because he's – you know, we've mentioned Kyler Murray.
