Steelers LS Christian Kuntz roasts Browns in hilarious fashion
Steelers LS Christian Kuntz roasts Browns in hilarious fashion The bad blood between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers runs deep — apparently long snapper deep, as Christian Kuntz roasted the Steel City's AFC North rivals in hilarious fashion. On the most recent episode of The Christian Kuntz Podcast, which was a re-airing of their live draft special, the Steelers long snapper kicked off their show with a Browns-sized bang — telling whoever is in charge of the audio to mute Cleveland's pick: "The Browns are clock — everybody, let's cut the audio on the draft. No one wants to hear from the Browns. They traded [their pick] anyway. We had these plans to cut this audio cause no one wants to hear that garbage.' While the Steelers have gotten the better of the Browns over the past two decades, the rivalry has gotten red hot as of late — fueled by Myles Garrett's DPOY feud with T.J. Watt, George Pickens altercation with Greg Newsome II, and Cleveland's recent acquisitions of former Steelers QB Kenny Pickett and WR Diontae Johnson.

Steelers work out a trio of long snappers—is LS Christian Kuntz's time in Pittsburgh over?
Steelers work out a trio of long snappers—is LS Christian Kuntz's time in Pittsburgh over? The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly bringing in three long snappers for workouts—Peter Bowden, Matt Hembrough, and Sean Wracher—which could spell the beginning of the end for 30-year-old LS Christian Kuntz's time in the Steel City. Bowden, a finalist for the Patrick Mannelly Award—given annually to college football's best long snapper—played for Wisconsin from 2019 to 2023 and signed with the Packers after going undrafted. He was subsequently released and later joined the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice squad in 2024. Hembrough played for Oklahoma State from 2019 to 2022 and signed with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023. Wracher, a semifinalist for the coveted Patrick Mannelly Award, spent five seasons as Indiana University's long snapper from 2019 to 2023. He was invited to the New York Giants' training camp in 2024. Kuntz, the starting long snapper for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has played in 68 games for the Black and Gold since 2021. He signed a three-year extension with the team in 2024, but there is a potential out in the contract for 2025. Could the Steelers realistically be setting up for life after Kuntz? And if so, will one of these long snappers be the one to take over for the veteran special teamer?
