RUSH: Saturday afternoon we got Seahags and the Atlanta Falcons. (interruption) Seahawks. The Seattle Seahawks, the Richard Shermans. “Sherman returns to Atlanta.” Will he march through? I guess that\u2019s the early game, four o\u2019clock in the afternoon on Saturday, then at night we\u2019ve got the Houston Texans in New England at the Patriots. (interruption)<\/p>\n

Is Brady playing? What do you think, “Is Brady playing?” Have you seen him on the injury report? (interruption) Why would he not be? (chuckles) I don\u2019t think he has to, frankly. I mean, they beat the Texans with their third-string quarterback earlier in the season, a guy by name Jacoby Brissett. Do you remember that? (interruption) You probably don\u2019t, you\u2019re so devoted to the Cowboys. Yeah, Brady was serving a suspension for underinflated footballs, and the Real Gas Law. Violations of the rules of the Real Gas Law and the underinflated football.<\/p>\n

Brady was on the bench, so they played the third string guy \u2019cause Garoppolo, second string, been hurt, and they beat the Texans by 27 points or some such thing. So Brady will be playing, and it\u2019s Brock Osweiler who… (sigh) There I go again. Osweiler. Brock Osweiler, quarterbacking the Houston Texans. On Sunday — in what may be an ice storm — the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chiefs are at one o\u2019clock. [Update: Start time has been delayed to 8:20PM due to weather] Kansas City is under an ice storm warning from now until midnight Sunday. There are 90% and 100% chances of rain.<\/p>\n

It all depends on the temperature where the rain falls.<\/p>\n

But they\u2019re predicting freezing rain, as much as an inch or three-quarters of an inch in certain places. High temperatures might reach 36. In some cases that\u2019d be enough to melt some of the ice. It\u2019s not a watch. It\u2019s a warning. Now, the Steelers, I\u2019ve been thinking about this. I\u2019m a logistics guy. Are the Steelers gonna make any out-of-the-ordinary plans to get there? I mean, you gotta get there. The visiting team has to show up. You know, the old rule — it\u2019s not the case anymore — in the case of the championship games, the two games before are the Super Bowl, the visiting team had to be in town 48 hours before the game just to make sure they were there \u2019cause it\u2019s wintertime.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve relaxed that now so teams can travel the day before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Steelers, generally they have a departure time on Saturday. No matter where they\u2019re going, they leave at one o\u2019clock. If they go to the Left Coast, staying the same… The Steelers, this is the first game this season the Pittsburgh Steelers have played out of the Eastern Time Zone. Not that it matters. It\u2019s just an interesting statistic. The game has a local noon start time, one o\u2019clock in the east, and the Steelers beat the Chiefs previously this season 44-to-something on a Sunday night in Pittsburgh, but you have to throw that out, especially if the weather is inclement. It\u2019s gonna be raining weather; ice pellets, that\u2019s another thing.<\/p>\n

And then the 4:30 game, 4:40 game on Sunday is the Packers at the Cowboys. And that\u2019s got everybody excited. The Sunday game\u2019s what everybody\u2019s looking forward to. The Sunday games — and I tell you. The Seattle-Atlanta game could be… I think Atlanta is a dark horse in all of this. I mean, they\u2019ve got running backs, they\u2019ve got an offense, their defense is smashmouth, like the Steelers is. So it\u2019s — and you never know about Houston and Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

I mean, the Texans have never gotten closer than 27 points. They\u2019ve lost four times to the Patriots in history, and it\u2019s never, ever been close. And one of the defensive backs for the Texans said, “You know, Tom Brady, he\u2019s seen every defense. There\u2019s nothing we can do to trick the guy.” Well, if there\u2019s nothing you can do to trick him, then you might be out of ammo. He said Brady\u2019s seen everything. There isn\u2019t a defense he hasn\u2019t seen. There isn\u2019t a defense that Brady hasn\u2019t exploited. So we will see.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Have you been keeping up with the Terry Bradshaw, Mike Tomlin kerfuffle?\u00a0 Well, to me this is an interesting cultural thing.\u00a0 It started with Bradshaw on one of the Fox cable networks saying he didn\u2019t think Tomlin, the coach of the Steelers, was a particularly good coach. He\u2019s more like a cheerleader, he doesn\u2019t know what he does. He just rah-rahs on the sideline.<\/p>\n

This was considered to be profoundly insulting.\u00a0 Terry Bradshaw, Steelers royalty.\u00a0 Why go out and attack the head coach?\u00a0 Nobody could figure it out.\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s called creating controversy, getting an audience.\u00a0 Anyway, Tomlin reacted to it, and said, “But what do I know? I grew up a Dallas (Cowboys) fan. Particularly a Hollywood Henderson fan.”<\/p>\n

Well, Hollywood Henderson is a guy who said before one of the Cowboys-Steelers Super Bowls in the seventies that if you spotted Bradshaw the C and the T, he still couldn\u2019t spell cat.\u00a0 So that is how Tomlin decided to get back.\u00a0 He admitted he\u2019s not a great coach yet; he hadn\u2019t been doing it long enough, doesn\u2019t have enough championships, Bradshaw\u2019s right about that, but this cheerleader stuff…<\/p>\n

Bradshaw apologized.\u00a0 But then said — this is where it gets interesting to me — Bradshaw then said Mike shouldn\u2019t have come back at me. Mike shouldn\u2019t have responded.\u00a0 Now, the young Millennial sportswriters are taking Bradshaw\u2019s reaction and saying, “Well, who does this guy think he is?\u00a0 Does he think he can just sit out there and say whatever he wants and whoever he says it about has no right to come back?” \u00a0And that\u2019s not what Bradshaw was saying.<\/p>\n

This is cultural.\u00a0 Bradshaw was saying if I were Tomlin I would have ignored it. I wouldn\u2019t have paid me any mind. I would have let it go, but Mike responded to it. Mike shouldn\u2019t have responded, and these young people who doesn\u2019t understand that \u2019cause everything to them is, you know, an online battle, screw you, no, screw you, up yours, no, up yours.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fascinating cultural illustration to me, that they think Bradshaw was saying that Tomlin had no right to come back at him.\u00a0 And they think Bradshaw\u2019s stupid.\u00a0 They\u2019re totally misunderstanding Bradshaw\u2019s point.\u00a0 Even though I looked at it, he kind of even made it clear in his statement what he was saying, but they missed it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
