In a lively final hour of Brock and Salk, the hosts dive into 'trash takes' without Brock’s usual presence, spotlighting a Pittsburgh radio host who quit his job on live Twitter after the Steelers drafted Penn State quarterback Drew Allard—only to be rehired 50 minutes later. The segment critiques the stunt as over-the-top and poorly executed, with Maura ultimately winning the 'trash take' crown. The conversation then shifts to 'Need to Know' highlights, including the Seahawks' new safety Bud Clark, praised by former coach Sonny Dykes for his leadership, work ethic, and clutch performances. The episode also examines the Steelers’ baffling decision to place an unrestricted tender on Aaron Rodgers, questioning the logic of waiting for a 40-year-old quarterback in a new era under Mike McCarthy. A standout moment comes from a story about Jay Williams and Kobe Bryant, illustrating that true greatness often means being the last to leave the gym—no matter how hard others try to outwork you. The show closes with a mix of humor, sports insight, and a tease for tomorrow’s guest, Greg Bishop, and a deep dive into Cal Raleigh’s custom cup with Jeff Passan.
A Pittsburgh radio host quit his job on live Twitter after the Steelers drafted Drew Allard, only to be rehired 50 minutes later—making it one of the most over-the-top radio stunts in recent memory.
Bud Clark, the Seahawks’ second-round pick, is being praised by former coach Sonny Dykes as a 'one-of-a-kind' player with elite work ethic, leadership, and a knack for making big plays in critical moments.
The Steelers’ decision to place an unrestricted tender on Aaron Rodgers—despite a new head coach and a clear rebuild—signals a lack of urgency and continuity in their quarterback strategy.
True elite performance isn't about being first in the building—it's about being the last to leave, as illustrated by the legendary story of Kobe Bryant never leaving the gym, even when others tried to outwork him.
The Mariners’ upcoming 50-season celebration on August 8th will feature the unveiling of the top 50 players in franchise history at T-Mobile Park.

Need to Know: Steelers & Rodgers
“It doesn't feel like a new era of Pittsburgh Steelers football if you're going down the same road as you did last year waiting for a quarterback in his 40s to decide whether or not he wants to play football.”
