You actually read an article by Mike Rogers.

Those are the kinds of stories I'm diving into on my podcast something off the pillar infestation in me rethinking our relationship with insects talking about times 300 million years ago there was a dragonfly 2 foot wingspan search for something off Or wherever you get your podcast, you know, I have not been obnoxious this year about my football team because I don't believe the patriots are any good this year I sent them to miss the playoffs before the start of the season some realistic when it comes to my own team, but Brian McFadden ever since we had them on map the draft and he was great in person always love. We have be back on making the bet to me like left and right and at some point during the summer. He bet me a steak dinner that the Steelers would make the playoffs this year and yesterday the Pittsburgh Steelers up against my doing the patriots but really really start because on Saturday I was at the gym I was on the elliptical workout in, and I see that my dear friend Brian McFadden is at the Penn State Auburn game working for CBS sports CBSSports HQ Instagram life.

So I jump into Instagram life and I just make a nice comment hey go Knowles go Florida State. Nice job for Brian McFadden's alma mater and the next thing I hear from Brian on that Instagram I is text me I can't wait to see the Steelers kick the crap out of the patriots will yesterday so the game the patriots 117 to 14 and now joining us as the two-time Super Bowl champion the CBSSports CBSSports HQ superstar Brian McFadden how are you really enjoyed was wonderful. I could not have Mitch Jablonski beat my football team yesterday.

That would be brutal for me know what you really enjoyed the intro. You really made you feel good that I must correct you.

Big dinner with about in the pages and I think if I'm not mistaking it was about which team we get to the playoffs. First, we have two bets to steak dinner bets and ideology of the back it up the first one that the draft was you said the Steelers win the Super Bowl again before the patriots yet. I remember that.

And then this summer you join me and when I was calling him Mitch Grabowski, you did not like that you said regardless of who the quarterback is the Steelers will make the playoffs, and you then said you put another steak dinner on that once we got to steak dinner bets were out there, but look at you trying to get out of this subject now is there with you to cornerback still you guys do is talk crap and you don't back it up. But with love will look when you book low at it with. Thank you very much. How many more victories are to be the season something to treasure each and every one of them asked about your Steelers.

You know I feel about Mitch Grabowski.

I know they're not good to start any picket on the short week but I see the Jets there in week four. I know you got to see how this game plays out on Thursday but are you ready I know the fans seem ready to get the candy picket are underway clearly when he is been a hard watch. I mean how watching office, even going back to week one we really be ready with sailors asked for in the first you put those type of numbers that should be a blowout but because of our office being so stagnant. We struggle to win the ballgame and finally caught up with last week against the patient, so I'll save it.

If we see struggles offers relief from the Steelers and the office of struggles in a law. I think any figure probably will be the starter against the Jets.

See Harris, I noticed deal with that foot injury. Is there something more though there because I'm a big fan and Ozzie Harris and he just doesn't look right as we currently look at the Steelers offense things mostly just about a foot injury sustained that during training camp that down a little bit and then we injured that injury aggravated out state week one home against Cincinnati. So you know your lower extremity is extremely important for therefore want to bet you know me for not having all of that in the hundred percent health direction is going to be tough. So I think it is about a topic I'm trying to get healthy will be hard to do it during the season. You know what type of player he is when he's healthy. Clearly I don't think you felt I McFadden here with us this work for your team yesterday. Everyone in the NFC North also loss and in some devastating ways that Brown's Jets game.

The Jets never win a game like that. I was just amazed at how that ended on our 13 point lead with under two minutes to go in the Jets find a way to get a victory is unbelievable the horrible loss by the nature of don't score that led you get a chance with the balky little timeout that was just a a a situational mistake because you score that that's actually what is needed and and we saw how everything else played out, but I'm happy for the Jets. Let me click you to realize is that usually they lose the title ballgame. They finally found a way to win an ugly matchup so that's definitely no positive steps for them compared to what we see in the years that I write about child score the touchdown. I hear what you're saying they missed the extra point to, but still you 13 with two minutes ago against an inferior football team, you gotta win that game you got a window looking real good team right now at the moment and in the theater and don't want to give belt holding team an opportunity if you fall down they'll get an opportunity to understand based on the time on the clock techniques THE 13th against Buffalo and the proceeds of a year ago. Anytime you have time look like anything can happen. Brian McFadden to get to the raisins are you more stressful with the dolphins that are more disappointed in Baltimore yesterday requested.

I am more impressed with what the dolphins.

Because yes, the ravens defense has been a bit suspect.

So far this season, but they still feel the ravens because at home know me, but seeing what 28.28 points in the fourth quarter not mistaking right there fiscal 20.20 think about this in one quantity scored 28 point almost impossible to have enough positions to score for touchdown is not like you're just out there by yourself. You still have the opposing team's office as well is going to take time off the clock.

That was the most impressive thing and how Fred they scored 28 points in 1 quart if you are in a secondary room going up against the dolphins this year like guard Tyree kill an jailer model only. So what they did yesterday was it was a videogame out there and I think going to give Tyree kill entail a lot of make life miserable for truth of our Lord and see that he had gotten a rhythm and I haven't been to a play with that type of confidence in his time in Alabama when he was there at Alabama on the when he was there. He played with by gotten on that dual type style and we thought that they could have a fork what his confidence was at all time high, because he was so comfortable in the pocket so I think we look at the speed element that bottle and he will have his they're always going to have a match up in their favor based on speed alone, regardless of their success is talk of them receive those big time past the quarterback of the quarterback is being harassed in and pressured to make the playoffs this year, but I'm excited yes yes more than anything drastic happening with injuries. The significant player players, key players, no question, yes I McFadden here with Dawson CBSSports HQ the Bengals after week one. I didn't say I was concerned, but this offense of line. We thought it couldn't get worse. I know they made all those investments is off season takes time to gel jumbos to get killed out there, good thing they're supposed to be a better unit will be off of the line based on they made to improve it. They have different personnel for what they had last year and the problems are still there. So what were seen from their off of Lampley is something we might see the entire year because how can I get better but is it a coaching thing is a coaching thing. That's one thing but one would think the personnel is supposed to be better though they have been warned more disappointing teams into recently because of the same issues we saw last year is still there. It's amazing how that team with that bad of an offense ally last you could theoretically sell the time the game is one of the trenches almost won the Super Bowl with an offense ally. It still blows my mind work with every game they won a game that was that tomato will refrain from seeing their claim against Thursday rush for personal quarterback you have no make that little angel makes a real theater March a liking to ye against all the all the big time players.

They have an office as it really been been able to live up to the building because the quarterback is consistently run from his life talking to Brian McFadden I is my take on the whole Jimmy droplets are lastly obviously the injury is awful.

You never want to see anyone get hurt for Jimmy G and the Niners a dish I think it helps them win more football games but still long term. I don't think Jimmy G's get to be a guy that wins your Super Bowl on your and this point will restore military lances good and outdated back.

I think with Jimmy G as their quarterback, the ability I'm just keeping it real the numbers back my statement with Jimmy G as the starting quarterback for San Francisco. They win more games the more relevant the more competitive the jury still out on trail and it's not saying he would not turn into a good quarterback winning quarterback.

We just didn't know what look at the flow of the game with Jimmy G got into the ballgame right not fully prepared to be the starting quarterback when he jumped into the saddle. That office is movement so I agree with you. I'm not saying he's going to win the Super Bowl, but he's good of the future lose it shot through they were amiss in exceptional weight last to the postseason from advancing to a suitable fourth quarter just to go the way you absolutely right, wrapping up the Brian McFadden so the rate is up 20 yesterday and in the Cardinals when Kyla Murray I don't know if he's going to be a great quarterback.

We know he's a good quarterback, but man that was a really impressive performance yesterday, especially with the Andre Hopkins out. You're on the verge of going all went to and he was just Superman, but how many times her back was up against the wall he found a way to come through, no question, no question Kyla Murray for continuing to fight kudos for him. His ability to extend played a two point conversion weeks are likely to head 10 minutes is almost impossible to cover someone that long though. Be big, big respect that respect the customer in accordance with the whole total letdown for the Raiders will letdown if you are a player in the Broncos locker room Brian McFadden.

How would you do your head football coach Nathaniel Hackett, Mandy then and on the sideline of the head coach. It seems to be a bit too much for him right now.

That's how it looks to me for thinking we can or will result in decision-making concerns, time management concerns just before the office looks horrible. It looks horrible. I meet this office granite likely for them safely again David Mills last week in Houston. Any other team they lose any other team they played against. They played against their will be owing to, but because of the team to play together automatically if they had enough to be able to win. It overwhelms me right now.

Nathaniel Hackett out of all of the first year here. Coaches, he seems to be in the situation where the life might be too bright for right now.

You had a bad first two weeks but it's just become a mockery. I've never seen home stands chant down the play clock as they had no confidence that the coach was good to get the plane and they really get the ball snapped that they would return her mind is all over the clearly reminded good filling all of what they don't trust their coach to be able to get a player in time for them to be the play clock tell you this of Anshan paid and I'm sitting back and said I wouldn't mind coaching the Broncos next year. Brian McFadden, I mean some trait might have a few options based on how things can work out well because of the season we working about something. If you decide to return.

He's going to the team that has an except quarterback you got in the business of trying to rebuild or create a guy you want the guy was already ready and made to go to make things happen as possible's and at this point working at this point is not a star right now. Now is mostly because of the wall. Not having to live in the chemistry is not completed all of the preseason will also not what we thought was especially with the past is no certain duty. You got the cover to have completed in place will not go lasting last year. I know the bills applying Tennessee right now. It's all tied up at 77 25 to go in the first half of a doubleheader tonight. I know you been very optimistic about the Vikings are line. I've also I love Eagle so when the sentence the East back in place on out of Philadelphia tonight to got to be a formal no question. I think that a preview of a potential playoff matchup. Me personally, based on the expectations of how good the rosters are both size I think they could be a a preview of whatever big time playoff matchup so the winter that this will be a statement game for whoever wins ballgame statements to the entire unit feel like we are here will real deal, but I think God nothing will change their fleet granite thing looking because the health standpoint that both seem to get in the playoffs. How would you try to guard Justin Jefferson just have to go to a place of worship and pray no? You get to gather data required to guard him and Jefferson's the best way for me to explain Justin Jefferson. If Brandon Lloyd for you football historians out here with Brandon Lloyd is if Brandon Lloyd and Devante Adams had a baby it would be just explained that I was active a plans I've I've not heard someone use that to describe one of the better wide receivers in the league looked about that okay so the body as we know what makes Devante Adams his route running the way he's able to create separation at the beginning of the route and in that the route the way he basically brings basketball to the football field. We think we see similar things with Justin Jefferson and his route running it in their Brandon Lloyd comparison is basically the way he manipulates his body to confuse the offenders while he's on his route. Not to mention his catch rated radios in the way he had total body control when he's making difficult catch something that Brandon Lloyd did throughout his career and I've heard two potential Hall of Fame cornice come out and say Brandon what was probably the toughest cover and Richard Sherman went on the podcast of Mia Patty. All things covered in Patty Peter has said that it will fit those two guys in their prime years were considered to be the position. Both say Brandon Lord for the toughest cover they've ever had, that the best way I can explain Justin Jefferson is if those who why was even had a baby, what receivers had a baby. We just simply love the man that is fair of a man of principle. Had to get on you for your Steelers now. Go ahead. I love that Mike Norvell is doing this yourself are the several speed law fund three four-week treacherous good teams after Boston College faxed back to the lift ticket when we get it, I'm happy for what I've seen from Florida State especially looking at some of the adversities with injuries to key players last week against Louisville Friday night games have always been very very difficult type matchup in a weird night and what it was able to do your star quarterback is always a big blow with finding a way to win is huge for Millville and his staff and hopefully they can contain the ad you went sincerely talking through to you throughout the season. I can't wait until I January when the stills missed the class I get a steak dinner from you. Will you be waiting for that for a while going well and I'll let you know will will be going to get if they get to write that we got Peter Luger.

All think it's the best toy. You'll take me to the best like a plate looking for stories about the black community, and you don't want to wait until out.
