Mark Madden

Welcome back our number three Dennis and Callahan of the free for Friday as the pats Steelers get -- that have at it for 15. -- stadium on Sunday -- a curse to be it's been awhile. Since we've looked up with -- always outspoken often outrageous friend from ESPN radio at Pittsburgh 1250 our pal Mark -- market market logged time no talk aria or accredited. Good to have you -- you -- on days like this time to make lists and put columns together of you know what's in Pittsburg columns this game approaches and what's in new England's column as the game approaches are going to tell you there's a long list of good things favored the Pittsburgh Steelers in this football game what your take on this.

Well I have also guaranteeing victory like -- I'm just guaranteeing it for the victory when I look at the Steelers -- you know I think you're right big gap between the two routine is not an outrageous one. I think the Steelers will be able to watch the ball on the patriots depend again. To go to Baltimore and -- Wimbledon one anyway -- I think the Steelers will be duplicate the radio little bit bit. -- expensive you don't get -- guys in the coverage and there's something in particular can do well the thing is can -- all of them in the same game against the patriots.

We'll see an in my estimation that you don't Roethlisberger clearly is a better quarterback and feel the and bowler and chances are he's not going to have those end of the fourth quarter meltdown that those two quarterbacks debt.

Problem borders the -- best quarterback in football period he got Brady you've got Andy you got wobble parker. Wobbled -- might abuse to a past that some quarterbacks -- if somebody intangibles. And those intangibles bogus capability you go to make big plays at crunch time yet that could well way into this game at the club for Bettis. Look at the receivers yet to work with it's pitiful. Brady can play develop chicken. In the offseason about how he didn't have anyone to throw to look at Belichick got. In one ops he's got Stallworth possible Welker the Steelers stood pat. -- nate Washington curtain jerker but chipped it would get a college as their number three receiver -- know Holmes. Is put up play and get that high ankle sprain he's not near 100% I sort of courses old reliable I think Derek into a lot of damage this scared but I just don't think is cut throat to.

I think if they've if they've watched the the ravens in the eagles and and and at that working with the blue -- again try to run the ball probably off the left side. Is Willie parker going to be Kenny be as effective as Willis McGahee was a Monday night.

Parker had a few rough games the world now what he had a little bit of fumble -- this last week in the win -- batting Villa Park wrist he's a streaky fault war. If you fumbles one week it's our fault or the next week it for a few more weeks after that so. Go you'll run the ball that got a pretty good day. But he's not he in book form this season but he but he was earlier in the off at the widest public but it went well either it's weird because. This goes off at the -- fourth fifth in the office who won the won the Super Bowl two years ago. It if you like not -- that his goodness they war and that includes you know all everything off guard out Attica.

If Mark -- as far as you can tell did some the Steelers take at least Smith in the shower and beat him the bag of quarters at the end of practice yesterday.

Any reaction to Anthony's Garrity in the -- waves between suppressed anger. And cock -- bemusement. They wish he would just said would be did however I think James barriers that at best what he's said. I don't think the patriots community at least that's guaranteed to motivate themselves they're undefeated they're chasing your mortality. If that motivates the papers to run up to score understood what at the -- is about that most kids anyway. So I don't think it's been -- figures one bid in the motivation it is gave I think it was a stupid thing to do.

Last time that went on the road. They went in the meadowlands and lost to the jets it is this a schizophrenic steeler team -- just. Not that good -- it just not as good as the record would indicate.

Well another good the record would indicate that they just. Playing two B level of their competition. I think he'll play great against the wind but I don't bigger win. But I think they will play great game political play their game of the season but against the jets against Miami that fiasco or the bad field. They could -- weighed down to whoever they play if the team's bad and that's why they're tied at three let's let's look at things they've lost to Arizona sticks. Deadline -- the jets stick they -- to be 12 at all.

and I'm and they could've lost the Miami game which would have been something they a threat regardless of Sunday what happens Sunday they threaten the playoffs.

The threat to with the playoffs doll I don't think so because what in order to people like Indianapolis Jupiter -- wiggled. But I kept supporting 81 of wins together to play out but picked -- a couple years ago.

Threat to beat a New England here in January.

Well don't particularly to read the beat New England. Which is what they want but couldn't be doing what they're January go up 61 of the big beat the wiggled. This Sunday. I I've delivered to the -- I can develop guys to -- I know that that put something really up to discuss every single second drug the only song. But I really get a good -- Iguodala because that kind of football team and I really think this is the last best chance for anyone could be depth. And that includes the playoffs to be but it might play better -- has -- the Steelers the player such as Indianapolis to get I didn't that would of course bargain through their focus is -- sky high but so would double to beat.

But Mark obviously getting your perspective from outside the forest here in New England about the national perception of the New England Patriots you'd think by and large people dislike or like the patriots want to see them go unbeaten or want to see them lose.

Well speaking object let their budget jerk -- many belichick's obviously just the clout he's the greatest football coach al. He's is that you don't compare clubs -- repeat what I'm miserable terrible look at. Just stats actually it would be it as far -- of people -- into the tickets to go undefeated. I personally -- because. As much as icing the hatred is the bad guy to today's NFL I hate to 72 -- were not why don't action. But I want to grab a champagne bottle of break it over the -- body's head. That's the minute debate just crept up Lombardi trophy it is -- Mercury Morris yet. Our usual Pittsburgh yeah always -- what like get tight time what do abuser. You know criticize the teams stink it up what undefeated record. The condition is that the that tyrant well of course but what cracks so political what a big big city that.

But no he hasn't given up on old habits wait we got a waiting in the green room -- Marlins kind of battle after you.

He knows what Kodak's yeah yeah really well on the ticketed for me -- I think what what what a jerk birdied -- Seriously he -- America welcome to the patriots. And so that tirade well tell me when they're my neighborhood I would go to record -- able to resist but saying it's okay. The bottom -- is virtually more as it is that tirade America's said. Well maybe to play potential bat.

And this is sit with greasy he's like traveling with crease area. And greasy looking them gone I gotta fly home with this guy.

Well let's really look at it I don't detector.

we only see the Steelers on occasion and then sometimes bits and pieces. The linebacker James Harrison as good as he looks on the.

I let me really did all bloodied body looks scary he's what what they go to order to play Paris yeah. Ice -- reporter was a good look at the Steelers have an undeniable back. Republic the directly start to stay at Augusta -- support has -- but I simply Arista -- stayed. A little undersized. Note for special teams who public not a whole lot else to beat to win every game can -- play every dot -- produced gave indicate about that. He's done that I'll do what I mean he's easily a pro bowl selection it to beat the biggest threat. The patriots have this Sunday because whatever the Steelers who needed big plate but before it invariably is BJ characters produced. Once I gotta tell yep put all follow this seven at terrible disease as well as paris' played Polamalu is cut up. Actually it I think terrible you know. The -- expertise you know supposed to -- be. You don't next best thing to Ed reed at safety and he just as bad as he's daddy's free -- too much wonder -- the field too much. Not played it up but the -- football adopting a what if it will vote doesn't have to drop -- two and played a real sound basic safety I think -- actually part of although this Sunday. Particular -- that he was around so much.

You convinced he's played as I know he missed practice yesterday after practicing the day before

5050 you know 5050 it it I don't attitude is a problem because you -- easily be the coach -- near Pittsburgh I don't know what is priorities are -- it gave like it is not it or -- I'd sit Polamalu couldn't really despite the hype guys is not really glorified exhibition. But it won't only effect stated -- one way or the other the playoff seeding as much one way or the other. Who wins or loses this game so I would not his fault although I would not risk at colonial all. I would not risk or else there if there was any doubt at all about. I think they're watching is tip O'Neill back a little bit that I tackles for electorate that is thought she. And marble steps. Was supposed to play each of the last two weeks but yet spasms on game day at that back is so even though -- look so sure -- sure.

Well speaking of injuries and problems mindset I forget who the Steelers were playing Roethlisberger had a remarkable first Africa through what for four touchdown passes injures his hip. Barely gets off the field and then he puts him back in the did you get an answer as to what probably Roethlisberger back in the game when I thought his leg of fallen off earlier.

Well noticed -- Baltimore yes correct. Actually I'm pretty -- it was bad news you know desire. In August we're pretty -- bed but what if your question is all week about whether it be playing next week.

Access when we're sitting in ten years from now talk -- will will top one -- the Steelers coach.

I'll be dead ten years that up but yet problem will be the Steelers -- released -- explode a but it what I really liked the job but I still I think he's smart enough to know he doesn't know everything. Which was our weakness. I think he gets the most out of his coordinators that way particular. Pickle ball Bruce areas it would be better Roethlisberger that coward everybody attempted. In Redick -- what by all gotten very adept ordered by the by the one week is I think the Steelers have. Where were delicately you guys -- is probably is not great at adjusting glory of the gate he broke -- But I think at the plate just about there's got to mr. go to mr. forsythe today. It's called a waste out that would just -- could be open whereas Belichick has issued -- If you what I think we should the best coaches football history has either received any but he could adjust on the fly -- he gave. As quick as Belichick -- and I think that's a big literally but --

It will -- scour going to be next year not between -- don't Shannon sharp ball that.

But I hope not collect as well to jump to the PP -- struggle everybody. I don't know I -- I used to think he'd definitely be back coaching them. -- you want that what he wants to a huge paycheck could be that that goes way keep score. But I'd have to look for somebody people close to him but he might not come back to go to another year to that if it's actually Washington because I think Gibbs is about attitude I think starters about -- gives despite gives his legendary status and I think he would give bill that qaeda in social peace paycheck that he want very badly.

I think that name Mark other than Paul Apollo Harrison Roethlisberger or parker. Who who we will be very familiar with if indeed this -- say yet knockdown drag out Pittsburgh -- doing the patriot battle on a Sunday.

True look like Taylor cornerback Ike Taylor RBI called shoeless Ike Taylor because. He's well liked Joe Jackson educationally if you get my -- get can't rewrite -- can't cover yeah and he. The fight against what do you sense to it was we use. I think they'll put I table at all baseball work try to work it out of the -- wouldn't. You know because you can't skip one got lost period I think you guys would agree with that correct yeah. I -- what about stalwart that'll be I try to -- a lot of the game and that double up one -- And that they can do that welcome to -- well I think that got a pass defense could keep up the paper bit.

Anthony Smith in charge of Welker -- call yesterday walker.

But it really called already here that walker went you don't -- till later today at like acidity up. You'd be up like got -- he got complain that diploma can't. You know I didn't know what it is that the welcome but up but what if -- with adequate player. I mean she should've kept destruction he's a very good player almost the Polamalu load the forget -- it to be this free guitar but Sunday. What are east too psyched up when it's too big occasion when it's too because situation he -- overplay. It is to try to a lot of good way to make a big hit try to jump -- to register don't. They actually got as a catch the ball go what it so I could -- it before pick politely but especially this Welker can bike but we're decouple I'd never heard of -- Miami but -- particular catcher brought yeah.

He has Mark Madden ESPN radio 1250 in Pittsburgh well let's make it dated these two teams meet the last let's chat again shall we Mark.

If you dispute resolution -- but important property over to celebrate -- I have markets pocket is that I enjoyed it Mark Madden has yet radio well
