Is it even fair to compare Kenny Pickett to CJ Stroud? Listener called for Josh Dobbs to be the Steelers backup instead of Mitch Trubisky. Is Pickett really in the Tim Tebow category? Is Pickett close to a Chad Pennington comp? Here come the Bengals. 4 straight wins and Joe Burrow has figured things out. How good is the AFC North? Do you think the Steelers can hang around? Donny Football Debrief – Jim Irsay was dancing with the Colts yesterday after the win. Which NFL owner would be most fun to hangout with?
Ben and Aaron take flight on the Cabin Crew Podcast, by Jets fans for Jets fans. From their humble (and sad) beginnings rooting for Chad Pennington and Mark Sanchez, through the false hope of Ryan Fitzpatrick, all the way to the savior of Aaron Rodgers, the guys have seen it all.

Is a 13 win season possible for the Jets? We feel crazy. A quick NFL draft recap leaves us feeling good about the front office and Joe Douglas, putting the right pieces in place to, dare we say it, win a Super Bowl this season?

Former NFL GM turned ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum joined the show. Mike said a lot of the Steelers issues do unfortunately go back to shaky offensive line play even if that unit doesn't look so bad. Mike talked about who was in charge when he was in the Jets front office when it came to having discussions with the Steelers. He said the Steelers aren't as bad as what last week looked like, the Bills just took advantage of things. Mike compared Kenny Pickett to Chad Pennington and Matt Schaub as a pro player. He didn't mean that as a shot because he thinks in today's NFL you can win it all with a QB like that. Mike said Najee Harris has great player potential and you shouldn't give up on him just yet. He doesn't think Mike Tomlin should be on the hot seat and still thinks Tomlin is an all-time great coach. Poni questioned Mike on his hate for Ben Roethlisberger. Mike isn't counting out the Steelers plan because if Pickett is the guy the Steelers will be right back in the mix soon enough, noting that Josh Allen struggled mightily as a rookie.

Last week we said that this could've been a divisional round to remember and oh my it didn't disappoint. A weekend that was headlined with some of the craziest finishes we've seen in recent memory. The kickers shined brighter than they have in a while whether it was McPhearless carrying the Bengals another week further or Robbie "The Nittany Lion" Gould ending the Packers season earlier than expected. Does Aaron Rodgers leave Green Bay and if so where, Kellen has a dark horse that actually seems plausible. That was just Saturday, on Sunday Brady falls to Stafford in a game that some believe could've been rigged. Despite Cooper Kupp's monster game Kellen is still not impressed. And have Mahomes and Allen cemented themselves as the next Brady and Manning with one of the greatest playoff games ever? With the immense quarterback talent lining the AFC where does that put some teams who thought they may be safe? CHAD PENNINGTON? All of this and more can heard in this episode and as always a touch of sibling rivalry. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the_sharpe_sports_report/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the_sharpe_sports_report/support

It's time for Week 5 of the 2021 NFL season, which means it's also time for the Touchdown Wire Preview Podcast with Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield! This week, our intrepid analysts pose the following questions: Why is Russell Wilson a slugger when he should be a volume puncher? Why does Zach WIlson have the worst pre-snap motion stats... maybe ever? Why should the Packers avoid any Cover-0 looks against Joe Burrow? Why do the Steelers keep running that flat pass to Najee Harris on fourth down when it never works? Why can't the Dolphins decide on an offensive philosophy, and why should we give Richard Sherman after his tough outing against the Patriots? Why is Washington's defense a complete tire fire? Why is Jalen Hurts leaving so many big plays on the field, and what does the Stephon Gilmore trade tell you about Carolina's defensive philosophy? Why does Trevor Lawrence not have the head coach he deserves, and can we just be done with the Urban Meyer thing already? Will Mac Jones get off the Chad Pennington plan this season, and why does New England's 2021 defense look a lot like New England's 2019 defense (which is a really good thing)? How will the Raiders counter Justin Fields and Bill Lazor's mercifully great passing plan? (Hint: It's not with that spot-drop country Cover-3 you guys play all the time). Why should the Browns be concerned about Baker Mayfield all of a sudden? And why are the Bills' and Cardinals' defenses leading the way for those teams, above and beyond their high-powered offenses?

Episode 071 – Occasionally Great Podcast How do you create a show that people remember? My theory is simple. If you want word-of-mouth do things worth talking about. That particular phrase is one I learned from Seth Godin. However, I learned that theory years and years ago. Learning From Radio When I started in radio 25 years ago, my goal was to make every break a home run. Creating a show that creates buzz appears to be a daunting task. A typical radio show is four hours. With an average of four talk breaks or bits an hour, a daily show would include sixteen bits a show. At three minutes a bit for a morning show, we talking about 48 minutes of material. That would roughly equal to an average podcast. After a few years in radio, I realized that creating sixteen different pieces of content that are stellar and buzz-worthy is nearly impossible on a regular basis. It is also unnecessary. Your listener will not remember all sixteen things you do on the show this week. People remember one big thing. Create the one killer bit that will create some buzz. You can't manufacture marketing and make people talk. The buzz is created when you do something amazing. To discover what is amazing, you need to continue to try different things. You will be surprised by what moves people. People will mention hearing things on your show that you never dreamed would make a connection. The more you receive that feedback, the more you will be able to recognize it when it happens. Be occasionally great rather than consistently good. You don't win by removing mistakes. You win by giving your audience a reason to listen. Occasionally great bits will give your listener those reasons. If you conduct interviews on your show, you do not need to make every question Earth shattering. You need one or two great questions that people will remember. Your listener will say, “Did you hear what she asked her guest?” The answer will be one great question, not the entire interview. Make your listener remember one thing. Consistently good is admission to the game. Occasionally great wins. Examples of Occasionally Great Let's looks at some examples of both. In baseball, who are some of the players that come to mind? How about Willie Keeler and Jimmy Rollins? They hold the record for most Major League Baseball consecutive games with a hit. Willie Keeler is #2 with 45 hits in 1896. Jimmy Rollins is #8 with 38 in 2005. This means they consistently get on base. Valuable to the team. But hardly memorable. How about Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, and Alex Rodriguez? These are the Top 5 of the list of players with the most Major League Baseball home runs. Other than Babe Ruth at .342, the other four had batting averages between .298 and .305. In comparison, Keeler hit .341 in his career. These home run guys got a hit less than one out of three tries. Less than stellar, yet memorable. Occasionally great. Maybe American football is your sport. Would you consider Chad Pennington one of the most memorable quarterbacks to every play the game? He holds a 66% career passing percentage in the National Football League over 10 seasons playing for 2 different teams. That puts him at #2 on the list. Pennington completed 2 of every 3 passing attempts. Pretty consistent. Not quite memorable. Could you put Bart Starr and Joe Namath on a list of great quarterbacks? Bart Starr was the QB of Superbowl 1 & 2. Joe Namath was also a Superbowl quarterback. Their stories are legends. Starr is #71 on the passing percentage list at 57% over 15 seasons. Namath is #163 on the same list at 50% over 8 seasons. Less consistent, but memorable. Let's talk acting. Christopher Lee has made 276 movie and acting appearances. He has been in Dracula and The Lord Of The Rings. Robert Loggia was in Scarface and made 223 other film and acting appearances. You saw Ernie Hudson in The Crow. If not there, he was in 190 other movies and productions. You wold probably recognize him if you saw him. All three are solid, consistent actors. They are hardly household names. Every heard of Tom Hanks. He has only made 37 films and other appearances. Less than 20% of the number Hudson has appeared in. Less than 14% of Lee. On the other hand, to date, Tom Hanks' films have averaged $96.3M per movie. A few have been occasionally great and won Oscars. Not nearly the number of appearances. His home runs make up for it. Will Smith has made 29 theatrical appearances. His movies average $127M. Fewer films. More blockbusters. Will Smith is also known as a hip hop star. However, he has only released 4 solo albums. Two of his albums went gold. One is 2x platinum. One is 9x platinum. Will Smith actually released more albums as half of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. That act released 5 albums. Three of those reached gold, one platinum and one 3x platinum. These guys are all huge, because they are occasionally great. Find Your One Thing Don't try to be everything to everyone. Be the best at one thing. What are you known for? What is the one thing you can do on the episode this week that your listener will remember? Find your one thing. Be occasionally great.
