RUSH: There\u2019s some people out there tired of the issues. Usually the Stick-to-the-Issues Crowd gets mad at me if I stray from the issues. So I got an email. “I can\u2019t believe that you\u2019re not talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers\u2019 humiliating defeat last night by the Cleveland Browns.”<\/p>\n

\"\"What do you mean, you can\u2019t believe it? You think that I would broom this other stuff to talk about it? They lost four of their last five. It was the most predictable outcome I could have given you yesterday. I didn\u2019t predict the game publicly, but I did privately. There was no way the Steelers — in fact, ever since Hard Knocks training camp of the Cleveland Browns on HBO, I\u2019ve been fascinated with this Browns team. I kind of like \u2019em. I\u2019m not disappointed they won at all. Coach on the bench because of COVID-19, all these players.<\/p>\n

But look, folks. It does demonstrate that this stuff is getting too oppressive and it\u2019s too frightening and too scary. (interruption) Yeah, he was, he was crying. He and Maurkice Pouncey were crying. That was humiliating, embarrassing, and the fact that it was Cleveland. I have to tell you one thing. This is just one departure from the issues and we\u2019ll get back to it. Yesterday afternoon I watched the Bears and New Orleans Saints.<\/p>\n

I watched — there were two feeds. There was the straight CBS feed and then the NFL is trying to expand their reach to the younger-aged demographics, so they had Nickelodeon. Did you see the Nickelodeon feed? (interruption) It was the funniest thing in the world. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Every time there was a touchdown, the end zone got slimed with green slime. The player that scored got slimed with SpongeBob type slime.<\/p>\n

I mean, the graphics were odd, weird colors, they had this Young Sheldon pop-up explaining the rules to young people that don\u2019t know football. But I have to tell you something. I watched a guy. The guy doing play-by-play on the Nickelodeon feed was a guy named Noah Eagle and he\u2019s the son of Ian Eagle. Ian Eagle has been doing play-by-play for CBS and other sports for years and I didn\u2019t know he had a son, but this guy was so good, Noah Eagle. He was just so good doing play-by-play and everything else Nickelodeon was — he ran a three-person booth, and then they had a couple of people down on the field that they had to get into the broadcast as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"It was the number one trending topic on Twitter yesterday afternoon, the Nickelodeon feed and broadcast of the Bears-Saints game which was the middle game, the 4 o\u2019clock game. But I\u2019m telling you, this guy, and I\u2019m a broadcasting person, folks, and I notice these kind of things. And I\u2019m fascinated with generational change because you can\u2019t stop it. It\u2019s on the march. It happens. And I\u2019m so glad that CBS decided to do this and that the NFL permitted it. Over on CBS here you have Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, they\u2019re buttoned up in their suits and ties, and it\u2019s the epitome of corporate professional.<\/p>\n

Over here on Nickelodeon, the Nickelodeon feed, you can\u2019t find a tie. You can\u2019t find a sport coat. You can\u2019t find a standard color. When they kick a field goal they put SpongeBob SquarePants\u2019 face between the uprights of the goalpost and they have the kicker trying to put it in the guy\u2019s mouth. You would never see CBS doing something like this, but they allowed it to happen on Nickelodeon to try to bring the game to a younger demographic.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m telling you this young man, I don\u2019t know how old he is. But the son of Ian Eagle, Noah Eagle, he was so good at play-by-play. And it was the first time I\u2019d ever heard him. He\u2019s the radio voice, I just found out, of the Los Angeles Clippers of the NBA.<\/p>\n
