  • my 18 year old son.

  • His favorite player in the NFL is Juju Smith Schuster, because of Ju Jews presence on tick tock.

  • He does those dances on tick tock and young people love that.

  • So I guess I would ask you, Dominique Tomlin says he's going to talk to him about it.

  • Is there any problem with it?

  • No, there's no problem with it.

  • The problem is that they're not winning like it doesn't really matter.

  • I think that sometimes we forget that this is the entertainment medium.

  • That's what we're really doing here.

  • That is the business of the NFL.

  • I know the business of the individual players is toe win and to play well like that's what matters.

  • But this is an entertainment entertainment medium, and it's good for the league that have personalities like Juju Smith Schuster.

  • It may not be good for him necessarily, but I think it's kind of ridiculous to think, and Mike Tomlin seems to think the same thing.

  • It's ridiculous to think that somehow ju Jews dancing on the emblem is gonna make on the logos of other teams is gonna make the game even harder for the players on the field like guys have maximum motivation going into games.

  • They don't show up on Sundays, like, man, I'm gonna give it 75% of Oh, is juju dancing on the look that I'm going 100 now?

  • Now I'm gonna go 100%.

  • I was gonna I was gonna save 25.

  • I was gonna save 25.

  • But juju out there going usher on this logo.

  • And nothing means more to me than protecting this logo on this team.

  • And this is the third team I've been on.

  • However, this logo right here, how dance the most important shoes.

  • How dare he going there with his cleats and do moves like he think he Chris Brown?

  • Okay, so I agree.

  • But rcm sometimes, like after the fact.

  • So So now the Bengals do hit him, and they hit him right on the logo and he fumbles and everyone says, See, that's because they were so mad that he was dancing on their logo.

  • Well, everyone's dumb.

  • That would be Oh, answer Thio, part of, um I think and so and so like this.

  • This is the problem, right?

  • If this was DeAndre Hopkins, we wouldn't have this issue.

  • If this was D.

  • K.

  • Metcalf, this was Stefon Diggs.

  • Like Stefon Diggs can go.

  • Chris Brown.

  • He could go Usher.

  • He could go Bobby Brown.

  • He could go.

  • Any of these amazing dancers that we've had on anybody's logo because he goes and dances on your logo in the end zone?

  • Isn't that what this is really about?

  • Not the logo he dances on before the game, but the one he's not dancing on during the game in this Heaven and three spans for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

  • Like like that.

  • Like that's the issue.

  • The other part of it is this.

  • The reason this has become, I think to me a topic is when Josh Allen has given his pregame speech and he says, Let them do the expletive dancing.

  • We just do the work.

  • Here's the only problem I have with that.

  • You know who used to do the work.

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers, right?

  • You know who come from a blue collar community, a city that's built on toughness.

  • A city that's built on all we care about is winning football games, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

  • And so when other teams start to adapt that mantra and you don't that's the issue.

  • But the only reason he needs to be talked about or needs to be talked to about it is because they're losing.

  • Yeah, yeah, I thought that That's the thing.

  • That's Tomlin's point, right?

  • Like he's not going to sit here and say We're losing because of this.

  • But he'll talk to Juju, and I don't think he's going to say, Hey, Jr, you gotta stop doing this.

  • I think he's gonna talk to him about Hey, let's make sure this doesn't escalate to a point where it causes us any more problems than we already have.

  • And that's it, right?

  • Like I don't think Tomlin buys into the idea that that Vonn Bell hit him harder because he danced on.

  • All that stuff is nonsense is these guys were discussing.

  • But I think you know, when a coach like I remember Tom Coughlin, Odell Beckham's rookie year, he was talking about Odell and some of his antics.

  • He said, My point is I wanna make sure he's not doing stuff that gets us 15 yard penalties.

  • Eso that kind of conversation, I think, is what Mike Tomlin has to talk to Juju Smith Schuster about if you asked him.

  • It's an interesting way of looking at it one way or another.

  • We will see.
