Well, we're inside 20 minutes to kickoff. For all the griping and complaining, the Steelers and Ravens are about to play at 3:40 on a Wednesday. It's happening. Happy to be here.

Michael Mozart

3:22

Brian, are you at the game?

Brian Batko

3:22

No I'm home, Ray Fittipaldo and Gerry Dulac are there.

Timmy Colorado Springs

3:25

I wonder if Carrie Underwood prepared a special "Waitin' all day for Wednesday afternoon" intro song.

Brian Batko

3:25

We've been waiting all week, Timmy.

Preface-i want the steelers to win and everyone to play. But...if they are really following the covid protocols and pouncey is on the list, who is closest in contact with him? Ben! How is Ben playing?

Michael Mozart

3:25

Do you know if Pouncy tested positive or is in contact jail?

Brian Batko

3:26

Maurkice Pouncey could be on the list because of a close contact situation. Or, if he did test positive, it's possible no one was a "high-risk" close contact with him. How? Because the Steelers say they've been wearing their masks at all times and socially distancing at their facility.

leaving work now - I just got a case of the sniffles!

Igor Larionov is Back Baaabeee

3:33

J.c hassenhauer. 1st career start. Lets go baby!! Obviously he can't communicate like pounce but if he can just remain serviceable we should be ok. Thoughts?

Brian Batko

3:34

Agreed, Igor. He's been on the roster for a whole season and in the organization for almost two. Will know what he's doing, and the Steelers likely wouldn't have kept him around this long if they didn't believe in his physical ability, too.

Gerry just tweeted the Ravens were not on the field <30 mins before KO. Have they shown they’re faces at all yet?

Brian Batko

3:34

I see their faces right now.

Destiny

3:34

Lets get ready to rumble

Choncey

3:35

Throwback uniforms. Great.

Brian Batko

3:35

Technically, these are color rush uniforms, Choncey.

Wednesday afternoon football! Gotta luv it.

Brian Batko

3:35

Feels like a bowl game.

3:36

Steelers win the toss and defer to the second half

Guest

3:36

Is Conner going to play or will Snell start?

Brian Batko

3:36

James Conner is out, Benny Snell will start.

Choncey

3:36

How’s the crowd?

Brian Batko

3:37

No fans in the lower bowl, so, pretty empty.

3:38

Will the Ravens go after Steelers and try to take them out to make it an even playing field?

Brian Batko

3:38

Probably not, no.

Choncey

3:43

Will Steelers spy on RGIII?

Brian Batko

3:43

I don't think they'll give him as much respect as they do Lamar Jackson.

3:44

Steelers defense starts with a three-and-out.

3:46

Vance McDonald gets the start in his first game back.

Guest

3:46

Claypool should have had that catch...really weak

Angie

3:47

JCH blew that one

Brian Batko

3:47

Yeah, Claypool's got to pull that one in. But I'm not about to start criticizing Chase Claypool too much.

Choncey

3:47

Screen pass on third down?

pdxJaxon

3:47

hey Bats, Looks like another slow offensive start :-(

rman

3:49

Hello BB and others !

Brian Batko

3:49

Hey there, rman.

Rich

3:49

Lot of pressure up the middle.

rman

3:50

Is there an if and who will televise the wasington game yet?

Brian Batko

3:51

I'm guessing KDKA will be able to carry it locally. Not sure about the national plan yet.

rman

3:51

forgot the rock
