Does the league and/or networks ever explain how they decide on which games are on Saturday and which on Sunday, or on the times for kickoff?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:45
The networks pick the games they like. Not sure which network had first dibs this year, but Saturday and Sunday night primetime are usually the most-watched games. The late afternoon games do well, too.

First shout out to Kappa Alpha Psi on our Founders Day! Ray do you believe the Steelers can make a run to the SB
Ray Fittipaldo
2:46
Sure they can, but they'll need some big-time performances if they're to beat the Bills and/or the Chiefs.

Cant someone in NY do a public report card on officials? At least at season end ?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:47
Their "report card" is when you get rehired. If not, you go back to college or high school.

The officiating was horrible in other games too. Almost cost Tenn their game. On the other hand it's a reminder of normal times in our current dystopian nightmare, eh?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:48
Or how about the Minnesota game and the roughing the passer call on Kirk Cousins. Good thing neither of those teams were in the playoff hunt.

I saw a guy at Costco last night wearing Cleveland Browns gear, including a "Pittsburgh Started It" shirt.  Even though the Browns beat the Steelers Junior Varsity team, I felt like this is the one time in the past 20 years, this guy is probably proud to be a Browns fan, and let him enjoy his moment.  Do you think that was the right call, or should I have smacked him upside his head in the produce section?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:49
All right!

Highsmith is looking more and more like a young LaMarr Woodley. I believe he had 3 sacks in the 1/5/08 playoff loss to Jax in his rookie season subbing for Haggans. Big asset who could come up big this week?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:50
He looked really good against Jedrick WIlls. He has to do it again.

They'll know their Rd. 2 opponent before the game Sunday... distraction?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:51
Nah, but that'll be nice for the fans to know.

What do you think the JuJu Tomlin dust-up was about?  Endzone dancing?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:52
I am guessing that he wasn't targeted on the two-point conversion. But I am not sure.

Should Dotson start at LG even with Feiler returning ?  Feiler back at RT if needed ?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:53
I don't juggle the line to accommodate Feiler's return. Either Feiler is the LG or Dotson is.

If the Steelers take care of business vs the Browns, do you think the Colts could ride RB Taylor to a ground-game time-of-possession style win vs the Bills by keeping Allen off the field?  Would be great to see them knocked out of the tourney...
Ray Fittipaldo
2:54
The Bills are playing great. I'm sorry, I just don't see them upsetting the Bills, who are looking like a very strong contender to get to Tampa.

If Sutton starts for Haden, does Layne or Pierre come onto field when another CB is needed?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:54
It had been Layne, but not sure if that'll change after he got beat deep last week.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:55
Ray, I am asking myself if I could see Spillane and Bush as the inside linebacker combination next year?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:55
How'd you do that? I like the question. And yes, I could see that.

2:56
Instead of Styx... How about the clip of Linus Van Pelt writing to The Great Pumpkin followed by Smashing Pumpkin's "Today" at the end?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:56
Dennis DeYoung for life!
And James Young, Chuck Panozzo and Tommy Shaw too!
2:57
Ok that's it for this week. Thanks for taking part. We'll do it again next week.
