Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN, who needs advice on how to teach his non-golfing wife how to golf. Even though he sucks too! Advice for moving to a "warm Christmas" state. The 49ers are the T2000 Terminator. They just keep coming. Aaron Rodgers sucked on Sunday, and a 14-year-old kid in his basement did the full tape breakdown. Could Malik Willis become the next "Vegas QB Wedding" victim of a short sample size? They remade the "Battle of the Sexes," and it once again pissed off feminists.

The Steelers have had their ups and downs this year, and while Aaron Rodgers has been winning over at least some reluctant hearts, there was a moment this season when fans were so livid they booed our most beloved power anthem: Styx's 1979 hit "Renegade." To understand why this was such a big deal, we're revisiting our episode about why the song is so special here, how it became the Steelers' secret weapon, and whether this anthem produces tangible results or is all just superstition. **This episode originally aired on September 1, 2022.

On this preview edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe get you ready for the Browns' home finale against the Steelers. They start with the future of the quarterback position. With just two games left, can Shedeur Sanders prove he's the guy for 2026 and convince the Browns not to use a top draft pick on a QB? They also debate if these final games, particularly a win against a rival, could be enough to save Kevin Stefanski's job. They talk Myles Garrett's pursuit of the single-season sack record. In a twist of fate, he could potentially break the record against Mason Rudolph, reigniting the drama from their infamous helmet-hitting incident in 2019, if the Steelers decide rest their starters. They would clinch the AFC North if the Ravens lose on Saturday night. Lance Reisland joins the show for his scouting report, breaking down the Steelers' offense under Aaron Rodgers, the impact of DK Metcalf's suspension and the challenges posed by Pittsburgh's formidable defensive front. Lastly, all four make their picks for Sunday's matchup in Cleveland.

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko preview the NFL Week 17 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. How will OC Arthur Smith and QB Aaron Rodgers navigate their first game without receiver DK Metcalf this season? Can names like Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Roman Wilson and others step up? And what role with tight ends like Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington play in the passing game? Our duo tackles those questions and ponders ways coach Mike Tomlin may handle rest vs. rust if the Steelers have the AFC North clinched for their next two games before the playoffs. They also make their picks for the Steelers' first game against Browns starter Shedeur Sanders. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ryan Wrecker talks his dog injury, Aaron Rogers and more.
Bechtold Breakdown with Logan. He gives two topics: the impact of MVS and Adam Thielen on the offense and the Steelers winning in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
Joe is filling in for the PM Team. Jack is in for Joe and Logan is in for Austin... The NFL is changing on a week to week basis. Jack was at the Lions game last week... Jack brings up the deflating game against the Saints a few years ago and says the Steelers have not had a season derailing game yet this year. The Bills game could have been that but then they won the next three. Derrick Harmon has been elite with Harmon in the lineup. Top 3 with him. Worst without him. The Steelers can win the AFC Championship Game because Aaron Rodgers is better than almost every QB in the playoffs. They could win the Super Bowl.

Guys like Scotty Miller have emerged. The Steelers must run the ball. Can they prevent Myles Garrett from wrecking the game? Green Bay defeating Baltimore on Saturday could be huge.

Merry Christmas from the basement studio. Season 7, Episode 16 kicks off with holiday energy, Frank's cookies, Mariah Carey impressions, and a friendly argument over whether this is the Joe Montana episode (it is) or the Dwight Gooden episode (absolutely not). Dan and Frank are joined by Alan “Action” Jackson and sound man Rich, and the crew sets the tone with laughs, old-school sports references, and the kind of festive chaos only a Christmas edition can deliver.The show opens with a quick run through MLB Hot Stove surprises, most notably the Pirates actually spending money, the Mets continuing their “clean house” approach by shipping Jeff McNeil to the A's (with cash attached), and a Moneyball-style analogy about teams paying to get rid of contracts. The Mets' bigger picture remains unsettled: Frank still isn't over losing Alonso, but he's holding judgment until the roster is fully built, especially given that pitching was the real issue last season. The crew also hits the Knicks debate (and the ongoing cheesesteak wager), before sliding into a quick fantasy football note as Alan celebrates making the Super Bowl with a team peaking at the right time.Then it's a full recap of NFL Week 16, starting with Saturday games and rolling right through Sunday:Eagles over Washington (29–18) to clinch the division.Bears over Packers (22–16 OT) in a controversial, windy game featuring injuries and a surprising “go-for-broke” overtime bomb.Saints over Jets (28–6) as New Orleans' QB continues to look like a real starter.Bills over Browns (23–20) in a tighter-than-expected win.Titans over Chiefs (26–9) as Kansas City's injury spiral continues.Chargers smashing Cowboys (34–17) with Dallas exposed by brutal run defense and wide-open play-action.Vikings edging Giants (16–13) as the crew questions the Giants' ultra-run-heavy approach and whether draft positioning is quietly shaping decisions.Panthers over Bucs (23–20) as Carolina takes control of a shaky division.Bengals steamrolling Dolphins (45–21) with Burrow and company lighting up the scoreboard.Jaguars over Broncos (34–20) in a major upset, with Jacksonville looking increasingly legitimate.Texans slipping past Raiders (23–21) in a game Houston “won” but didn't exactly dominate.Steelers over Lions (29–24) with Aaron Rodgers looking sharp—and the biggest controversy of the week: DK Metcalf's sideline altercation with a fan, resulting in a two-game suspension and a heated debate about fan behavior, accountability, and where the league should draw the line.The episode wraps with a strong message: most fans are respectful, but it only takes one person crossing the line to turn the entire spotlight ugly, especially when players are being baited into losing control.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

December 24, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 68 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the latest news concerning Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf on the heels of his two-game suspension being upheld on Tuesday following his appeal hearing. We discuss several aspects related to Metcalf's suspension and that includes going over voids of guaranteed money in his contract moving forward. We also talk about the wide receiver situation in Pittsburgh for the team's final two regular season games now that Metcalf has officially been suspended. The Steelers are bringing back WR Brandon Johnson to the practice squad this week, so we go over that bit of news. We also talk about one sport on the active 53-man roster being open now that Metcalf has been suspended for the next two games. The Steelers have three players that were voted to the annual Pro Bowl Games this week, so we discuss that news. We also discuss the one Pro Bowl Games alternate from the Steelers that we know about so far. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin held his weekly press conference on Tuesday and as usual, Alex and I parse all of the notable things that he had to say to the media. We discuss his comments on the Metcalf situation, the overall health of the team entering Week 17, and how the team might handle a potential meaningless game on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns and much more. Is OL Spencer Anderson poised to be the team's future starting left guard in 2026 at this point? We discuss that possibility based on what Tomlin said about Anderson on Tuesday. We also discuss the help that T Dylan Cook should get on Sunday against Browns DE Myles Garrett. Alex and I begin our weekly recap of the All-22 tape of the Steelers' last game, the Sunday afternoon road win against the Detroit Lions. We start on the offensive side of the football and spend a lot of time discussing the play of several individual players. We discuss QB Aaron Rodgers long touchdown pass to RB Kenneth Gainwell as well as several key plays that were made in that contest. After thoroughly discussing the offensive tape from Week 16, Alex and I then do the same when it comes to the defensive side of the football. We discuss the Steelers shutting down the Lions' running game and the unit managed key situations on Sunday. We also discuss the overall play of Lions QB Jared Goff against the Steelers and several key stats related to both sides of the football. Alex and I make sure to recap the AFC North clinching scenarios the Steelers have entering Week 17 as well. This 107-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It's a Christmas Eve special with Jerry and Willie Colon as they autopsy the Jets' season following Justin Fields' move to IR and debate if NFL teams are scouting the wrong QB traits. The guys dive into the "Old Guard" comeback of Philip Rivers, the Giants' high-stakes tanking dilemma, and Willie's raw take on why some teams have already "mailed it in." From mic'd up Aaron Rodgers and the case for Bart Scott as a DC to Ben Simmons' rumored pro-fishing pivot and Joe Benigno's holiday rage, we're covering it all. We wrap up with Jerry's driving horror stories, a $1.7 billion Powerball update, and a full Week 17 preview to get you ready for the holiday slate.
Positive reinforcement or performance-based reality? How do modern teams handle struggle. Then, we break down Aaron Rodgers' "ice-cold" poise on a key TD drive that proved he's still got it.

Christmas Eve Stakes and a Narrow Path The Detroit Lions fly to Minneapolis with a slim, real path. Win at the Vikings on Christmas. Win at the Bears in Chicago. Hope the Packers lose out. That is the math. It is not pretty, but it exists. The other motivator is pride. Going from the best record in the NFC last year to the basement in the NFC North will not sit well with Dan Campbell or his locker room. The Lions are favored. They should play like a team with playoff vitality. Context matters in December in the NFL. Detroit needs urgency and clean execution. The margin is small. The opponent is wounded, not harmless. Vikings Quarterback Shuffle: Max Brosmer Time Minnesota ruled out JJ McCarthy on Tuesday afternoon. A hairline fracture in his hand ends his season. In comes Max Brosmer. He is an undrafted rookie with one start and mop-up reps. He has an arm and workable accuracy. He lost to the Seahawks, which happens to many. He is not Aaron Rodgers or Matthew Stafford. He is not even a fully healthy Jordan Love. That is a reprieve for a Detroit defense that has seen a run of top quarterbacks. The Vikings are battered elsewhere. Christian Darrisaw, their left tackle, is out. They have shut players down after elimination, similar to how the Lions just shut down Kirby Joseph. The depth chart is thin, but the skill talent around Brosmer still gives structure. Detroit must turn those absences into pressure and turnovers. A Defense That Hasn't Allowed a Passing TD in Six Games Here is the problem for the Lions offense. The Vikings have not allowed a passing touchdown in six straight games. That is the first time a team has done it since the 1989 Browns. This is a legit unit. They blitzed the Lions to great effect in the first meeting. They hammered the A gap. They made life hard for Jared Goff. Detroit's passing game has been inconsistent. Goff has been pretty good, but the interior pass protection must be better. Answers versus the A-gap pressure are non-negotiable. Quick decisions. Firm guards and center. Defined hot routes. Detroit Lions Podcast coverage this week centers on interior protection, blitz answers, and a battered Vikings offense. If the Lions cannot block inside, points will be scarce again. What It Means in Minneapolis and Beyond This sets up a grind. Expect Detroit to lean on pass rush against a backup left tackle and an inexperienced quarterback. Expect Minnesota to heat up Goff and test Detroit's A-gap integrity. Field position matters. So do red zone calls when passing touchdowns are hard to find. Win, and the Lions keep the playoff thread intact and roll into Chicago with purpose. Lose, and last place looms. The formula is simple. Protect the pocket inside. Tackle after the catch. Finish drives with touchdowns. It is Christmas in the NFL. Style points can wait. The Lions need a road win to keep the season alive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7n9Z9vYgPU #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #a-gappressure #interiorpassprotection #jaredgoff #maxbrosmer #jjmccarthy #christiandarrisaw #backuplefttackle #undraftedrookie #sixstraightgames #passingtouchdown Learn more about your ad choices.

Trenches Tell the Story Two Days Before Christmas The Detroit Lions walked out of Sunday with a scar. The loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers came from the line of scrimmage. Film study backed it up. So did the grades. In the NFL, you cannot live in the low 40s up front and expect to win. The Detroit Lions Podcast broke it down with clear eyes and a steady pulse. The last two weeks produced the worst graded run blocking of the season. The last two games also produced the worst run defense grades. Tackling fell off a cliff. The base scoring mark sits at 60. Detroit lived below 50. That is losing football. Detroit's pass rush showed signs of life with stunts and loops, but the run fits and block shedding were not good enough. A veteran like Aaron Rodgers gets the ball out fast. One underthrown moonball turned into a fluke touchdown, and it stung more because no one finished the play. No whistle. No touch. Six points anyway. Center Spotlight and a Veteran Reality Kingsley Eguacan gave the Lions something to build on. Thrown into center against a well coached Pittsburgh front, he held up acceptably. Not perfect. Good enough to see again. He has guard experience from Florida. He has two years in the system. That matters. The evaluation window should stay open these last two weeks to see if he can be a low cost backup in 2026. Graham Glasgow is a pro's pro. Tough. Smart. Trusted by Jared Goff and the staff. He also represents the present more than the future. That balance defines where this offensive line sits. Detroit needs answers now, but it must also cultivate depth that sticks. Eguacan earned another look. Front Seven Accountability Detroit's defensive line investment is real. DJ Reader. Tylik Williams. Alim McNeill. The return has lagged in the run game. Blocks are sticking too easily. Aidan Hutchinson included. Shedding has to improve. The drills exist, but the mindset and urgency must rise. Think less. Strike more. Finish tackles. McNeill's arc is a reminder of time lost. He looked great in his first game back. Since then he has not been very good. A couple of late run stops showed up, but consistency is missing after nine to ten months without football. He knows it. The unit feels it. The Lions need their middle to anchor again. The Steelers' lucky strike exposed another cardinal rule. Play to the whistle. Alex Anzalone went head over heels. Others had to clean it up. No one did. That is fixable with focus. What Must Change Now The Detroit Lions must reclaim the line of scrimmage. Better run fits. Cleaner tackling. Faster block shedding. Keep the pass rush games that worked. Keep evaluating interior depth on offense. Trust your eyes before the grades, but let the numbers confirm the urgency. December demands clarity. Detroit has to find it in the trenches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiJwlH7f5YM #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #offensiveline #runblocking #rundefensegrades #tackling #passrushstunts #runfits #blockshedding #kingsleyeguacan #grahamglasgow #djreader Learn more about your ad choices.
