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 think he's been fine. Outside of the Browns safety free kick brain fart I haven't noticed him in any negative way. Which is my barometer for the reserve level guys

He has IMO improved the kick return game and keeps Brown from risking injury doing it. He’s also shown to be effective in a pinch from the slot when 4ish yards are needed for a 1st down. What’s the problem?

Have no fear, Mullzy is back at work today. Mission critical position where he can’t even take off more than one week for a new baby.

If I were bad at my job I would be terrified of taking time off and exposing myself as easily replaceable.

Someone tell the Super Gelatinous that "Ron Hextal spent 1,975 days in the Flyers front office" is an obvious joke made by the Flyers Last Cup account. He just quoted that stat to Borque and they both had a hearty laugh.

MM: "Jaylen Samuels averaged 6.1 yards per carry in college, .5 more than James Conner did at Pitt"

*James Conner had 486 more carries*

*goes on to berate more callers, some of whom have valid points*

There’s nothing like hearing Pittsburgh Dad Jr. say “nudie pajamas” and talk about “both of you being well occupied throughout the night” in one of da Fan’s 1000s of ad reads. Ugggh.

It's remarkable how this station can make someone like me, who tunes in 3 or 4 different times over the course of a day totaling maybe 10 minutes, constantly think, "I'm so sick of hearing this over and over" and switch almost immediately.

Cool.

Their talent is still getting paid very respectable salaries for a job most office drones out there would kill to have.

So it is okay to be lousy if you are well paid for it? Pretty shallow outlook, imo.

Anyway, everyone keeps laughing at the whole "Pitt Bayless" thing with Poni consistently predicting basically the opposite outcome of most of these football games lately. But it's getting him exposure!

What he really needs to do is start predicting the Steelers get their ***es kicked. Maybe that'll help them find a way to beat New England and/or New Orleans and backing into the playoffs.

Think Pittsburgh Dad Jr. and the Super G may go toe to toe over this Ben sitting out stuff.

Defending Ben is a hill that MM is more than willing to die on.

Who among us doesn't have a neighbor from 12 years ago that no longer talks to us that we still worship unconditionally?

The way lots of idiotic fans and media types bash Ben is annoying.

The way MM very rarely places any sort of blame on Ben is annoying.

Both can be true.
