00:08I have to ask you, because I know you're on the take for several of my teams, the Steelers,

00:13Indiana Hoosiers, do you think the Steelers can win in the link in Philly on Sunday as

00:22the Eagles are having the media try to destroy them this week with they all hate each other

00:27and Brown hates Hertz and their passing game is horrible as they've won, whatever, 10 straight

00:32games and they're, you know, cruising to the East division title and I think they'll cruise

00:37to the NFC title game.

00:39Do you think the Steelers who like are undefeated as an underdog this year, they're getting

00:43four and a half that they can win at the link?

00:45Scott, it's one of those things that it's not unprecedented because it did happen when

00:51I was five years old.

00:54But the idea of the Steelers winning in Philly, my memory of every Steelers road game at Philly

01:01is epic disaster after epic disaster after epic disaster.

01:07Even teams that were as good or better than this one had those kinds of experiences in

01:13Philadelphia.

01:14So I don't look at this as a situation where one would be optimistic.

01:19It would be it's a terrific team, the Steelers, and they're playing a terrific team.

01:24And so they certainly have a chance.

01:27But the history suggests that it's not positive and the possible or maybe likely absence of

01:34George Pickens suggests that it's going to be very difficult.

01:38I don't think it's impossible.

01:40And I certainly think if I know I shouldn't even say this, but if they were to play in

01:44the Super Bowl, I think it would be a different circumstance.

01:48And if they were to play, if the schedule had mandated that Philadelphia come to Pittsburgh

01:52instead, I think they'd have an excellent chance.

01:54I just I can't conceive of a Steelers victory in Philadelphia when I literally have never

01:59seen one.

02:00I know it's happened in my lifetime, but I wasn't awake enough to see that.
