This is where being in a division with Cleveland kills you. Baltimore has missed the playoffs via tie-breaker. ''[gunshot sound]'' Hey Mr. Harbaugh, perhaps instead of whining about the game time you can [[SkewedPriorities prepare your team to hold a fucking lead!]] Heads need to roll!

[[folder:Days of Our Steelers - 2018 Season]]
The drama on and off the field involving the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2018-19 became so all-engulfing that Tree decided to spin off "Days of Our Steelers" from "This Week in Sportsball". Fans of the other 31 NFL teams got a lot of laughs out of the results. Given its recurring nature and wealth of material throughout the season, Tree eventually complied them all into a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDOgN6Q5xyo one hour, forty-eight minute season video]].

!![[AC:Episode Nine: A High-Speed Poaching]]
* Tree compares the Carolina Panthers' heading into Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers to [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer skateboarding over Springfield Gorge]] in "Bart the Daredevil", [[HopeSpot thinking they've got a chance at winning]] after quickly jumping out to a 7-0 lead... before [[CurbStompBattle being blown out 52-21 by the Steelers]].

!![[AC:Episode Eleven: Mile-High Melancholy]]
* Tree narrates the second drive from the Steelers in their game against the Broncos.
-->'''UT''': ''["Days of Our Steelers" narrator voice]'' A field goal block in the first drive would hopefully bring them to understand that Denver would play hard. They seemed to get the message. The black and gold brigade charges down the field with fury and Grimble-''[RecordNeedleScratch]''
-->''[Steelers tight end Xavier Grimble runs the ball towards the Broncos endzone, only to fumble after being hit by Broncos safety Will Parks]''
-->'''UT''':''[breaks character]'' GRIMBLE! WHY THE FUCK DO YOU FUMBLE THAT! No wonder you're the third-string tight end, get in the pit!
* Tree then recovers his composure while narrating the Steelers making a comeback.
-->'''UT''': ''["Days of Our Steelers" narrator voice]'' Wash the taste of his boot out out of your mouth with a 97 yard stride by JuJu. Bask in all of that talent! The Steelers are going to the Super Bowl. New England is going to get fucked so hard they'd think we were General Howe!

''[Big Ben immediately throws a pick to Denver cornerback Chris Harris Jr.]'' Or Captain Fatfuck will do that.
-->'''UT''': ''[Continuing "Days of Our Steelers" narrator voice]'' Denver immediately responds because Steelers defense can't be relied upon for a big play ''[Cue 41-yard pass from Case Keenum to Emmanuel Sanders, who makes a questionable catch.]''
-->'''Caption''': '''I[-N BEFORE "NOT A CATCH COMMENTS.-] S[-TEELERS DIDN'T CHALLENGE, THEIR LOSS.-]'''\\
-->'''UT''': ''[Continuing "Days of Our Steelers" narrator voice]'' This match was a game again, let the Broncos fans think that, let them pretend they're going to win, because the black and gold brigade will march down the field and-''[RecordNeedleScratch]'' ''[Denver cornerback Bradley Roby tackles James Connor, who fumbles the ball where it is picked up by Broncos safeties Darian Stewart and Justin Simmons.]''

!![[AC:Episode Twelve: Rivers of Woe]]
* This episode comes hot on the heels of the Steelers losing to the Broncos in Week 12 and looking for redemption at home to the Chargers, and they seem well-placed with a 23-7 lead at half time.[[note]]The Chargers' touchdown drew Steelers fan ire for resulting from a false start that was overlooked by the officials.[[/note]]
** The first signs of trouble occur near the end of the third quarter when the Steelers get in their own way in multiple senses of the phrase as Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers tries to pass to wide receiver Keenan Allen in the end zone:
--->'''UT''': ''["Days of Our Steelers" narrator voice]'' Fortunately, the Chargers offense has done nothing against the Steel Curtain all game. The running game is stuffed. The passing lanes are blocked. And Philip Rivers is taking such a beating that he may have a tenth child on the field. ''[Rivers lines up a pass to Allen, but Steelers cornerback Joe Haden is directly in the path of the pass...]'' An easy intercep- ''[... only for free safety Sean Davis to collide with him, knocking him to the ground and allowing Allen to grab the ball for a touchdown]'' ''[breaking character]'' Huh! That's funny! I could have sworn we cut Mike Mitchell in the ''spring!''\\
'''Caption''': ''[over a replay of the collision]'' '''H[-EAD-HUNTING: NOT EVEN ONCE-]'''\\
'''UT''': That was an easy fucking interception and one of our ''high draft picks'' comes in with a hit stick and kills our best corner! Now we have to deal with Artie Burns sucking dicks again! ''[Burns completely fails to block Rivers' pass to tight end Antonio Gates for a 2-point conversion]'' Fucking lovely!
** The Chargers score two more touchdowns (with a total of three extra points) as Steelers fans begin attacking Chargers fans and each other in the stands before another Steelers touchdown ties it at 30 with four minutes left. Then... well, let's just say Tree breaks character for the rest of the video:
--->'''UT''': ''["Days of Our Steelers" narrator voice]'' All the defence has to do is make a stop with four minutes left. To no-one's surprise, they can't accomplish this goal. ''[Rivers passes through a huge gap in the Steelers' defence to Allen for a 12-yard gain]''\\
'''Caption''': '''B[-ECAUSE-] Z[-ONE-] D [-HAS WORKED SO WELL FOR THIS TEAM IN THESE SITUATIONS...-]'''\\
'''UT''': Slowly chipping away at the field, the Steeler faithful panics at what could be their fate. Their overconfidence would be shattered. Pants shitting increases twentyfold as they reach field goal range. It will take a miracle for this to continue.\\
''[Chargers kicker Michael Badgley lines up a 39-yard field goal attempt, which goes wide left]''\\
'''UT''': ''[RecordNeedleScratch]'' ''[breaks character]'' [-YES! THEY STILL SUCK! FUCK YOU SPANOS, YOUR KICKER IS- -] ''[whistle, graphic of a yellow flag flies across the screen as the Steelers incur a 5-yard penalty for defensive offside]'' [-'''''[[AtomicFBomb FUUUUUUUUUUCK!]]''''' GODDAMN IT, HADEN, I THOUGHT YOU WERE ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS! Now they can kick again!-]\\
'''Caption''': '''"B[-UT HE WASN'T OFFSIDES"-] ~S[-TEELERS FANS-]'''\\
''[Badgley lines up a 34-yard field goal attempt, which is blocked by Steelers cornerback Artie Burns... who is well over the line of scrimmage when the play begins]'' ''[whistle, graphic of a yellow flag flies across the screen as the Steelers incur ''another'' 5-yard penalty for defensive offside]''\\
'''UT''': That was so goddamn obvious it's like they're deliberately ''trying'' to cheese the system. Just take them to the goal line at this rate. Good ''God''.\\
'''Caption''': ''[over a replay of the offside]'' '''T[-HEY'RE TRYING TO FORCE A GAME GLITCH. I'VE SEEN THIS TOO MANY TIMES.-]'''\\
''[Badgley lines up a 29-yard field goal attempt, and makes no mistake this time despite another defensive offside by the Steelers. Final score: Chargers 33, Steelers 30]''\\
'''UT''': ''[sarcastically]'' And, of course, they make it. ''[whistle, graphic of a yellow flag flies across the screen]'' I'm more amazed at Artie Burns. The dude was so offsides he ''missed the kick.''\\
'''Caption''': ''[over a replay of the field goal as Burns throws himself onto the ground in front of Badgley before he even gets the ball]'' '''H[-OW TO FAIL AT IMITATING-] "I[-N THE-] L[-INE OF-] F[-IRE"-]'''\\
'''UT''': You can't cover a geriatric tight end yet ''blaze'' past the holder!? GOD, you fucking suck!\\
'''Caption''': ''[over a replay of Burns failing utterly to stop Rivers passing to Gates for a 2-point conversion]'' '''F[-IRST ROUND PICK-]'''
** Cue another TheReasonYouSuckSpeech from Tree to the Steelers organisation:
--->'''UT''': All I wanted to do was laugh at the Chargers and Spanos for roughly the seventy-third time, but ''nope!'' You guys had to ''fuck it all up!'' The Steelers had a statement win in the palm of their hands and they let it slip away! I know everyone's going to blame the refs, or the long snapper, or the Patriots, or the wind blowing in from the river, but here's reality: great teams finish off their prey, no matter the circumstances! A 16-point lead with the ball at half should have been Game Over. They ''fucking'' blew it. ''[a tweet from ESPN's Twitter account observes that the loss set a record for biggest blown lead by the Steelers at home]'' It's not hard to admit. At the end of the day, that uncalled false start doesn't matter. The refs didn't cause Sean [[MaliciousMisnaming Mitchell]] to level a guy with an easy interception. The refs didn't cause the defence to fail miserably to make any kind of stop. The refs didn't stop the Steelers offence from making ''any'' kind of progress in the second half.\\
'''Caption''': ''[as Ben Roethlisberger is sacked for a 10-yard loss while trying to line up a pass]'' '''BRB [-NEED TO ATTEMPT FIFTY MORE PASSES-]'''\\
'''UT''': The refs didn't force the Steelers to cover the best wide receiver on the other team with ''fucking linebackers'' all game! ''[a tweet from Warren Sharp points out that such tactical blunders are why "the Steelers get owned by the Patriots"]'' Jesus, even Shazier wouldn't have been able to cover Keenan Allen, how the hell do you expect Jon Bostic to!? I'm not pissed that they lost, I'm pissed at the ''way'' they lost. ''[cut to Mike Tomlin holding a press conference]'' Did you see what the Chargers did, Tomlin?!\\
'''Caption''': '''C[-ALL MORE UNNECESSARY CHALLENGES YOU'LL LOSE,-] M[-IKE-]'''\\
'''UT''': It's called "adjusting to your gameplan". You got horribly outcoached by a second-year guy missing his best running back, defensive tackle, and middle linebacker! And you know they aren't going to learn a ''damn'' thing from this! They're just going to blame the refs for their loss and call it a day.\\
'''Caption''': '''"B[-UT MUH BLOCK IN THE BACK"-] ~S[-TEELERS FANS-]'''\\
'''UT''': But while you do that, not only is a first round bye all but out of the question, guess who's snuck behind you again? ''[footage of the Ravens' Week 12 and 13 wins against the Raiders and Falcons, respectively]'' Baltimore. They're a half game back now. You're back in the muck, Steelers. Try thinking you're above everything some more, it's worked ''so'' well for you in the past. [[TemptingFate If they lose to Oakland next week]] I'm going to break some necks. ''[the "Days of Our Steelers" title appears over another replay of the winning field goal]'' It's not like we're dealing with injuries.\\

'''UT''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh boy, now we're starting a converted tight end at running back. Fucking wonderful.

!![[AC:Episode Thirteen: A Tomlin Tradition]]
* "If they lose to Oakland next week I'm going to break some necks," as Tree said after the Chargers' victory at Heinz Field. The metaphorical neck-breaking is as funny as it is merciless.
** With the Ravens, Texans, and Patriots respectively losing to the Chiefs, Colts, and Dolphins, the stage appears to be set for the Steelers moving toward a first round bye with an easy win over the 2-10 Raiders, but they haven't won in Oakland since 1995, and have a tenuous 14-10 lead entering the fourth quarter. As Tree declares "The Steelers are once again playing down to their competition," a caption appears reading '''[[DrinkingGame "T]][-[[DrinkingGame HERE NEEDS TO BE A DRINKING METER EVERY TIME I SAY THAT PHRASE"]]-]'''.
** Ben Roethlisberger spends most of the second half on the sidelines with a vaguely described rib injury, only returning to the field after the Raiders take a 17-14 lead with 5:20 left.
--->'''UT''': ''[out of character, sarcastically]'' Aren't you guys just ''so'' proud? ''[as Raiders quarterback Derek Carr makes a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Lee Smith]'' Look at this fucking defence ''bend!''\\
'''Caption''': '''T[-HEY SHOULD DO MORE TEAM CELEBRATIONS FOR UNFORCED TURNOVERS-]'''[[note]]A poke at the Steelers doing exactly that near the end of the third quarter.[[/note]]\\
'''UT''': Look at them give up insatiable yardage to a team with rookie tackles, faded skill players, and the shattered dreams of what was once a quarterback! They burned ''eight fucking minutes'' on a touchdown drive!\\
'''Caption''': '''"U[-NDERRATED DEFENSE"-]'''\\
'''UT''': You couldn't stop ''this'' fucking outfit, are you ''shitting'' me?!\\
'''Headline''': '''R[-EASON FOR LENGTH OF-] R[-OETHLISBERGER ABSENCE STILL NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR-]'''\\
'''UT''': Oh, so ''now'' we see Captain Fat Fuck come into the game! When everything is falling to shit so talent can bail us out again! ''[in character as Roethlisberger passes to [=JuJu=] Smith-Schuster for a touchdown, giving the Steelers a 21-17 lead]'' They do. Beautiful talent as far as the eye can see. Even the defence is ''[breaks character]'' doing fucking nothing. They're straight up putting a ''boot'' up their asses. You're seriously trying to tell me that this team was ''prepared!?'' They haven't learned a fucking ''thing!''\\
'''Caption''': ''[as Carr passes to wide receiver Seth Roberts for a 39-yard gain]'' '''A[-T LEAST HE'S NOT COVERED BY A LINEBACKER?-]'''\\

'''Caption''': '''T[-WO PLAYS. 1:25 OFF THE CLOCK.-] N[-O TIMEOUTS USED.-] P[-EAK TOMLIN.-]'''\\

'''Caption''': ''[after an incomplete pass from Carr to tight end Jared Cook]'' '''T[-IMEOUT USED AFTER INCOMPLETION.-] I[-NEXCUSABLE.-]'''\\
'''UT''': ''[as Carr passes to tight end Derek Carrier for a touchdown to give the Raiders a 24-21 lead with 21 seconds left, accompanied by a musical sting]'' Jesus Christ, it's going to happen. The Steelers losing a football game to a glorified college team.\\
'''Caption''': '''T[-HEY'RE BEING BEATEN BY PLAYERS AUTO-GENERATED IN-] M[-ADDEN.-] C[-HRIST.-]'''\\
'''UT''': Did they not realise that the Raiders weren't just going to fucking lie down and ''die?!'' But wait - here comes the high end talent!\\
'''Caption''': ''[as Roethlisberger passes to James Washington, who laterals to Smith-Schuster, who is run out of bounds in field goal range]'' '''A [-RANDOM BIG PLAY OUT OF THEIR ASS.-] P[-REDICTABLE AS HELL.-]'''\\
'''WesternAnimation/MightyMouse''': ''[singing]'' Here I come to save the dayyyy!\\
'''UT''': It's going to mask all of their worthless failure in this game and everyone's going to ignore the glaring issues. Just pull off the bullshit already.\\
''[Steelers kicker Chris Boswell lines up a 40-yard field goal attempt, but falls over with a comedy sound effect as the Raiders easily block the kick. Final score: Steelers 21, Raiders 24]''\\
'''Film/BillyMadison''': YOU BLEW IT!!!\\
'''UT''': [[TranquilFury Are you fucking kidding me.]] All that flash and trickery to lose like ''that?'' What the hell happened to Boswell? The dude was fucking automatic last year and now he's treating the field like a water slide!\\
'''Caption''': ''[over a replay of the missed kick]'' '''S[-ADLY, HE WILL PROBABLY BE THE ONLY ONE PUNISHED FOR THIS LOSS-]'''\\
''[as Boswell gives a locker room press conference]'' '''N[-OT SAYING IT ISN'T DESERVED, THOUGH-]'''\\
'''UT''': Are you sure it wasn't just Switzer with the cleat fuckup? Fucking hell, this team is a joke!
** And so the stage is set for a blistering TheReasonYouSuckSpeech...
--->'''UT''': I can't honestly be shocked or surprised as most of you are. There was a part of my mind thinking that they were going to fuck this up, and ''by God'' they did. The Steelers pull this shit ''every goddamn year''. It's hard to be angry when it's a tradition dating back to the days of Cowher! Even then, the bar's lower than ever. You guys lost to the ''Raiders''. This team has been openly punting the season since August and outright ''dominated'' in most games they've played! You were defeated by the NFL equivalent of [[TakeThat Rutgers!]] A golden opportunity completely ''fucking'' squandered because the team chose to be cocky and arrogant like they always are! ''[footage of Mike Tomlin holding a post-game press conference]'' Twelve years, Tomlin.\\
'''Caption''': '''I[-T'S OBVIOUSLY FIXED WITH CLICHES, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment OBVIOUSLY]]-]'''\\
'''UT''': Twelve years in this league as a coach and you ''still'' don't know how to manage a fucking game clock! Why didn't you call your last timeout? Why didn't you try ''anything'' different offensively? Why the ''fuck'' can't the defence cover a tight end if their lives depended on it!? What are they going to do against Gronk? Put Vance [=McDonald=] in cover?! Why in the living hell was one of your best offensive weapons on the goddamn ''sideline'' while the offence was struggling!?\\
'''Mike Tomlin''': ... you know, he... got looked at half time, he got... treatment, he came back out, um... we were waitin' to see if he was gonna be able to come back in, he was... um... probably could have come in a series or so sooner, but we were... in the rhythm and flow of the game...\\
'''Caption''': '''B[-ENEDICT-] T[-OMLIN HANDING OVER-] W[-EST-] P[-OINT TO THE-] B[-RITISH, 2018-]'''\\

'''UT''': You have got to be ''fucking'' shitting me. '''What the FUCK kind of reasoning is that!?''' "Rhythm and flow", WHAT GODDAMN FLOW?! I saw a lot of "terrible" and "dogshit" if you can call that a "flow"! That offence had about as much rhythm as a Yinzer after fifteen I.C. Lights! This shit is grounds for being fired!\\
'''Caption''': '''M[-Y BOWELS HAVE MORE FLOW.-]'''\\
'''UT''': I expect this sort of ineptitude from ''[[TakeThat Hue Jackson]]'', that's how bad this looks. ''[over more footage of Tomlin talking to the press]'' Look at this guy, firing off every cliché in the book about "fundamentals" and "the standard being the standard" and "not living in our fears" because we're going to jump off this ledge into a pile of spikes! This shit all adds up. The overconfidence in your schemes, the way the players are acting, the way ''everyone'' dismissed Oakland as inferior on the team! You looked past your opponent again, didn't you. '''Did you learn ANYTHING from Jacksonville?! How much of a cheerleader are you!?'''

Just ask [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_McCarthy_(American_football) the other Mike]] from Green Bay how piggybacking off Aaron Rodgers worked out for him!

!![[AC:Episode Fifteen: Burning in the Bayou]]
* The Steelers and their fanbase don't have much time to enjoy their win against New England. With the Ravens and Titans winning and the Colts coming back against "the Derp", the Steelers will only remain in control of their own destiny with a win in the Superdome. [=SeatGeek=], the sometime sponsors of Tree's videos, even send him to the game in person. The footage recorded live on his phone is captioned "'''Y[-INZERVISION 5.7-]'''". True to form, the game features ridiculous calls by the referees, which does not go uncommented on by either Live Tree or Recording Tree...

'''UT''': As Boswell proceeds to make another field goal, the battle continues with ''[... only for a whistle and a graphic of a yellow flag to fly across the screen as the Steelers' Joe Haden is slapped with a pass interference penalty]'' some of the most ''heinous fucking refball'' I've ever seen.

* With the Steelers holding a slender 28-24 lead with four minutes left in the fourth quarter and on a fourth down, they try a fake punt, only for the gamble to backfire - not that they seem to notice...

* The Saints take a 31-28 lead with 1:25 left, but high-end talent appears poised to bail the Steelers out as Roethlisberger completes a pass to Antonio Brown for a 19-yard gain, followed by a 14-yard gain courtesy of a pass to [=JuJu=] Smith-Schuster. But when Roethlisberger passes to Smith-Schuster again, he fumbles the ball, and the Saints recover it and kneel out the clock to seal the win.

At this rate it doesn't matter if they win, they don't deserve the postseason with such an uninspired performance. This was their chance to prove something to me, and they sure as hell didn't! This can't be all related to The Diva,[[note]]Antonio Brown, who no showed the game.[[/note]] and no way does the offense look this damn flat against a team with a defense close to an SEC outfit! I kinda feel they were too busy worrying about games other than their own. Does it matter in the long run as the black and gold brigade did the bare minimum to win thanks to their new kicker Matt McCrane having a pretty solid day? Well done, boys! You managed to beat the Bungles! A team that would probably be beaten by Alabama handily with how battered they are! [[Film/FullMetalJacket I should bring you guys home and let you fuck my sister!]]
* With the Ravens beating the Browns to claim the AFC North and the Colts beating the Titans to claim the final Wild Card spot, the Steelers have failed to make the postseason for the first time since 2013. Tree spends most of the video giving the entire Steelers organisation a(nother) merciless TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, with particular vitriol directed toward the main characters of "Days of Our Steelers", including 'Captain Fatfuck' Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell, 'The Diva' Antonio Brown, and Mike Tomlin. [=JuJu=] Smith-Schuster has been spared from his wrath.
-->'''UT''': ''[over footage of [=JuJu=] holding his French Bulldog]'' I swear to the holiest of deities, if you fuckers corrupt [=JuJu=] and turn him into an abonimable monster, I will hunt every one of you down and kill you in your sleep!
* And as the video draws to a close, Tree brings the curtain down on another season of wasted opportunity. But someone is waiting in the wings to raise the curtain again...
-->'''UT''': There's only one quote that summarises this team.\\
''[clip of Creator/RobertDeNiro as Lorenzo in ''Film/ABronxTale'' talking to his son, Calogero]''\\
'''Lorenzo''': Remember, the saddest thing in life is wasted talent. You could have all the talent in the world, but if you don't do the right thing, then nothing happens. But when you do right, guess what: good things happen.\\
'''UT''': At the end of the day, that's all this team is. A waste. And it will continue in perpetuity at this rate. ''Nothing'' has shown me that they want to change! With the actions shown, I see nothing but arrogance and the inability to even take a ''shred'' of criticism.\\
'''Caption''': ''[over a screenshot showing that the Steelers blocked Tree on Twitter]'' '''I [-NEVER DIRECTLY TWEETED AT THE-] S[-TEELERS-]'''\\
'''UT''': What they ''can't'' block is that they have no-one to blame but themselves for the predicament they're in. They're becoming more and more of a joke as time passes. And it's going to continue because of stubbornness. ''[the "Days of Our Steelers" title appears]'' See you next year.\\

!![[AC:Episode Seventeen: The Flight of Icarus Brown]]
* As hinted at the end of the previous episode, they're not done; the drama engulfing the Steelers over Antonio Brown's future (or potential lack thereof) with the organisation means new episodes of ''Days of Our Steelers'' are still being produced. Tree opens by venting about having unwanted new material for the series:
-->'''UT''': Can someone please explain to me why I'm doing one of these episodes when a game hasn't been played in over a ''month?'' The players get to rest, why can't the drama!? God damn it, I'm gonna look like such a viewwhore...\\
'''Caption''': '''I[-MPLYING HE'S NOT A VIEWWHORE.-] T[-HAT'S CUTE.-]'''

!![[AC:Episode Eighteen: Mr. Big Chest's Self-Destructive Opus]]
* The drama associated with Antonio Brown leading up to the trade is such that it can only be opened with:
-->'''UT''': Tonight, on ''[[INeedAFreakingDrink Where's My Liquor?]]''...
* In regards to what AB insisted his nickname be:
-->'''UT''': It's time to introduce his new identity to the world: "Mr. Big Chest". ''[VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII taunt "Dadgum!"]'' What the hell kind of nickname is that? I can't tell if that's an uninspired kid's show villain or a wrestler opening a house show in Wyoming. Let's wash this out with Le'Veon's new rap album! ''[an excerpt of one of Le'Veon Bell's songs plays]''\\
'''Caption''': '''H[-E SHOULD HAVE CALLED IT '$14.5 MILLION'-]''' ''[Le'Veon's tweet promoting the album's premiere appears]''\\
'''UT''': I regret that decision, much like most of us watching the Cancer bash the Steelers organization this off-season for the sixty-fourth time on a platform with [=LeBron=] James, who knows a thing or two about ripping a city's heart out with a move!\\

--->'''UT''': ''["Days of Our Steelers" narrator voice]'' Fortunately, the Chargers offence has done nothing against the Steel Curtain all game. The running game is stuffed. The passing lanes are blocked. And Philip Rivers is taking such a beating that he may have a tenth child on the field. ''[Rivers lines up a pass to Allen, but Steelers cornerback Joe Haden is directly in the path of the pass...]'' An easy intercep- ''[... only for free safety Sean Davis to collide with him, knocking him to the ground and allowing Allen to grab the ball for a touchdown]'' ''[breaking character]'' Huh! That's funny! I could have sworn we cut Mike Mitchell in the ''spring!''\\

--> '''UT''': So who the hell thought this match would be against winless teams at the start of the year? Whose magic will allow them to fuck up more? The unmitigated disaster of the home game-less Chargers, or a Giants team that doesn't have enough liquor in the world to ail their woes? Let's see who fate decides to take a shit on today. ''[headlines of Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Marshall and Sterling Shepard being injured, the former three out for the season]'' Holy fuck, football gods! I know OBJ pissed you off, but to take out the Giants' ENTIRE receiving core?! Isn't losing to the Chargers ''enough'' suffering?! It's been in typical Giants style as of late to rip their fans' hearts out in ridiculous fashion; and this game just upped the goddamn ante ten-fold. FUCK YOU, Spanos.

'''UT''': ''[sighing]'' Oh, great, the Steelers can't cover Gronk at all and are going to lose to ''New England'' again. God ''damn'' it, I was getting interested to see if they could pull it off. I can't bear to watch this happen, just roll over and ''die'' already. ''[the Steelers' [=JuJu=] Smith-Schuster runs 69 yards to New England's 10-yard line with 34 seconds left]'' Wait a minute... they're going to do it! ''[getting more and more excited]'' They're going to beat New England! I honestly hadn't prepared for this at all. All of the cynicism was for ''nothing''. They're actually going to fucking do it! ''[as Ben Roethlisberger throws a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jesse James]'' Holy shit! It's going to happen! THEY'RE GOING! IT'S GOING- ''[James grabs the ball out of the air and puts it down in the end zone]''[[note]]Notice the lack of the word "catch" in that description; this will be important later.[[/note]] OH MY GOD! THEY SCORED A TOUCHDOWN! THEY DID IT! THEY'RE GOING TO ANOTHER FUCKING SUPER BOWL! IN YOUR FUCKING FACE, YOU FUCKING PATRIOTS!... ''[lapses into incoherent raving]''\\

'''SFX''': Oh NO!\\

'''UT''': Why is this play completely broke- ''[with 9 seconds left on the clock, Roethlisberger tries to pass to Eli Rogers in the end zone, but the ball is intercepted by the Patriots' Duron Harmon, punctuated by [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 the Engineer's]] "NOPE!"]'' OH MY FUCKING GOD, WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!? THIS IS SUCH FUCKING BULLSHIT!... ''[dissolves into {{Angrish}}]''\\

'''UT''': Do you guys remember when the Bungles were 4-1? Seems like it's in a different age when you look back on it. You got exposed and your answer is probably going to be Hue Jackson or more Marvin Lewis. You guys are fucked. Have a nice life!

-->'''UT''': Please do not attempt to look up my playoff predictions from earlier in the year. You will die of laughter.[[note]]His picks for the NFC East, North, South, and West, respectively were: the NY Giants, the Packers, the Falcons, and the Seahawks, while the Wild Card spots were the Buccaneers and Cowboys. The Giants went 3-13 and the division was won by eventual UsefulNotes/SuperBowl champions, the Eagles; the Vikings took the north, while Green Bay had a lackluster 7-9 record; the Saints won the South; the LA Rams won the West, while the Seahawks' 9-7 record wasn't enough to qualify them due to tie-breakers. The Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons (both from the South) took the two Wild Card slots. So Tree only got one of his predictions right...and only gets half credit for it since he predicted the Falcons to take the division and not the Wild Card.[[/note]]

''[Broncos punt near the endzone, but fail to properly down the ball; Raiders' returner [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_Harris Dwayne Harris]] recovers it at his own 1-yard line and starts sprinting down the sideline]]''\\

'''UT''': Your whole city is fucked. Where's Film/{{RoboCop|1987}} when you need him?

The drama on and off the field involving the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2018-19 became so all-engulfing that Tree decided to spin off "Days of Our Steelers" from "This Week in Sportsball". Fans of the other 31 NFL teams got a lot of laughs out of the results...
