Morning show left for a commercial break and update this morning at 8:15. They come
back around 8:27 and say something dumb for a minute then say “time for a break and then Bill Cowher at 8:30”. Wtf, you just had a break for 12 minutes? And that was the extent of my commute. I love listening to commercials and non-informative 20/20 updates.

I wish there was another local show in the morning that could challenge them.

I heard him say he’d just be out this week. I think the PM show can function without you for a few weeks dude. Or maybe ownership is bad and only lets them have a week? Poni said they would call him to check in. If I had a newborn the last person I’d want to hear from is Poni.

Pittsburgh Dad Jr. and Switzer going at it.

Pittsburgh Dad Jr. got called out on being a turd and he's doubling down.

Well now Pittsburgh Dad Jr. will donate $20 to Switzer's charity for every catch he has the rest of the season!

In other radio news, MM has randomly done a total 180 on the Pens. From "oh relax, it's early, they've won 2 cups" to "I don't care how about the cups, they're turning into Chicago/LA"

Pittsburgh Dad Jr. and Switzer going at it.

Pittsburgh Dad Jr. got called out on being a turd and he's doubling down.
Here’s the source of the spat in case no one knows what is happening:
https://twitter.com/switz/status/106495 ... 52736?s=21

Pittsburgh Dad Jr. has a spur of the moment reaction to a play during the game. Switzer replies to that tweet today and calls Pittsburgh Dad Jr. a keyboard warrior. In another tweet he tells Pittsburgh Dad Jr. he followed Pittsburgh Dad Jr. because of Pittsburgh Dad Jr.’s daughter but says Pittsburgh Dad Jr.’s negative tweeets are always on Switzer’s timeline. Then they go back and forth some more. Lol this is great, you can’t make it up.

EDIT: Now Switzer is replying to Madden https://twitter.com/switz/status/106497 ... 65792?s=21

Switzer is trash, and now a distraction. Cut him.

Switzer should find a hobby. Pittsburgh Dad Jr.'s job is to comment on sports. Sometimes players, especially bad receivers, get criticized.

Pittsburgh Dad Jr. should learn football then if that's his job. As if the play call was "throw to Switzer"

Has Switzer actually been that bad for the role he has this season? I admittedly haven't observed closely enough to say either way

I just appreciated Switzer going back at Pittsburgh Dad Jr. in a calm and rational manner - aka the exact opposite of Pittsburgh Dad Jr.. If I'm not mistaken, Switzer had a few timely catches in that game as well. And, like @willeyeam said, it wasn't the original play call - and that was obvious.
