Chapter 1: What are the implications of Aaron Rodgers' performance this season?
Limits, now there's a story on Trib Live about me returning to my journalism roots there. I'm reading it right now. Can you read the last line about my family? I really enjoyed that.
It says, a native of Long Island, New York, Starkey grew up in Buffalo and endured four Bills losses in four consecutive Super Bowls, but only after moving to Pittsburgh in 1989 to attend graduate school at Duquesne University. He lives in Green Tree with his wife, Susie, his daughter, Marianne, and a tiny dog named Bailey.
Bailey finally gets the press that he deserves. I'm glad.
I love Bailey.
Yeah. You've met Bailey. He likes you, too.
I have multiple times. Great dog.
He's very trusting of the world. Again, on this morning's walk, he just walks up to random people from the Duquesne light, somebody from a tree service and just makes friends right away.
Muffin used to bark at people when like they would approach the door or saw a car coming down the driveway. But then as soon as somebody would enter the house, would immediately go up to them and try to, you know, embrace them.
Yeah. Very nice of Muffin. Shouldn't we all live our lives that way limits? Well, I guess not. You can't be too friendly at times, right? Um,

Chapter 2: How likely is it that the Steelers will retain Mike Tomlin?
And my question to you is, how much in the Steelers, in the organization, hiring outside the organization for a new OC or a new DC? Because I think that's a problem. I mean, the last outside hires they've had is Arthur Smith and Ryan Flores, who they just put up at the booth. And it's like, come on. My question to you is, how confident are you in the Steelers in hiring outside the organization?
Not very. I mean, that seems obvious at this point. It seems so far beyond obvious to move on from Tomlin, however that comes about. And if I'm Art, I initiate the conversation, which he won't, and I make a decision as the guy who's entrusted to run this franchise. And to me, it's an obvious, obvious decision at this point. This isn't getting better. It's getting worse.
It was the worst home playoff loss in the history of the franchise. To the quarterback, as I said earlier, he played better than I thought he would. He was pretty darn good in a lot of games, but it's always better to part ways a year too early than a year too late. And we saw, I think, last night in the Cleveland game, a couple of others, of what this could become.
More to the point, do you really think you have a chance to win the Super Bowl next year? That, to me, would be the only scenario in which you bring back Aaron Rodgers. And the Steelers belong more with the non-playoff teams and non-contenders than they do with anybody who has a right to believe they can win it all next season. It's just time. But Rodgers had a pretty good year.
It's very hard to read whether he wants to be back. Do you have a couple clips from him, Limits?
Yeah, so it kind of struck me a couple of different things that Roger said. First off, just about how they were never in control of the game before we go into some of the big picture things.
I don't feel like we ever got the momentum on our side, honestly. We had a lot of chances. Defense played really good in the first half. They got a good defense. But we had a lot of opportunities. A lot of opportunities. Didn't make the most of hardly any of them.
I completely disagree with his thought that they never had any momentum on their side. They forced three turnovers. One was inside the red zone. There was the Y.A. Blacks interception or fumble, whatever you want to call it. They made significant defensive chunk plays where Tomlin preaches this turnover culture. And the offense just came out three and out.
stale-looking offense, no play calls down the field. I completely disagree with that assessment, Joe.
