The podcast delves into the potential concussion of T.J. Watt, expressing concerns about his safety as the team's MVP. The host notes that when Watt started wearing a visor, it raised suspicions of possible concussion symptoms. However, the host also suggests that the coaching staff may have overlooked this sign and allowed Watt to continue playing, potentially jeopardizing his health. The host questions the coach's knowledge and decision-making, stating that if he was unaware of Watt's issues, he is a "dumb head coach," and if he knew but didn't consult the doctors, there may have been a failure to adhere to proper concussion protocols. This discussion underscores the significance of player safety and raises concerns about the team's handling of potential head injuries.
In the episode, there is a discussion about the loyalty of the Pittsburgh Steelers organization, particularly in relation to their head coach, Mike Tomlin. The speaker argues that the organization needs to break from tradition and make a change by parting ways with Tomlin. They contend that Tomlin's tenure has been too long and that the Steelers need to hire superior coaches to enhance their performance.

The speaker criticizes Art Rooney II, the owner of the Steelers, for not taking action and implementing the necessary changes. They assert that Rooney must step up and acknowledge that the experiment with Tomlin has persisted for too long. The speaker suggests that the organization should hire a new head coach, preferably a capable individual, who will be given at least 10 years to lead the team to success.
The loyalty of the Steelers organization is viewed as an obstacle to their improvement. The speaker emphasizes that the team must prioritize the legacy of the Pittsburgh Steelers over the legacy of Mike Tomlin. They suggest that if the organization continues to remain loyal to Tomlin, it will hold the team and its fans hostage, impeding any progress or necessary changes.
Overall, the episode underscores the need for the Steelers organization to prioritize performance and improvement over loyalty and tradition. The suggestion to hire better coaches reflects the belief that a change in leadership is imperative for the team to achieve success.

The hosts also mention that hockey Jesus has been sharing his thoughts on social media, tagging the Pittsburgh Penguins in his tweets in hopes of gaining attention from the team. Overall, the "Worshipping" segment of the podcast focuses on discussing the Penguins' performance and the passion of their dedicated fan, hockey Jesus.
