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.

Pat Freiermuth wasn't a fan of Najee Harris' Steelers criticism
Pat Freiermuth wasn't a fan of Najee Harris' Steelers criticism Najee Harris' sour grapes with the Pittsburgh Steelers were on full display during his first few media appearances with his new team—the Los Angeles Chargers—and Pat Freiermuth took exception to his close friend's comments. Appearing on The Christian Kuntz Podcast, Freiermuth expressed overall excitement for the next chapter of Harris' career but was less than thrilled with his post-Steelers criticisms: 'It's going to be tough, but I'm happy for [Harris] and his new opportunity. I didn't agree with the way he went out. I called him about it and we talked. Every guy is different.' Freiermuth is, of course, referencing Harris' criticism of the Steelers' training facility and the team's inability to form a consistent offensive identity during his four years in the Steel City. The big Steelers tight end even jokingly offered a challenge to the new Chargers running back ahead of Pittsburgh's 2025 trip to Los Angeles: 'We play L.A. this year. You know he's going to be running hard—but we're going to be hitting him harder.' While Freiermuth and Harris cleared the air, the former Steelers running back will likely have some explaining to do when he lines up across from the Steel City defense this season.

Pat Freiermuth embraces chance to learn behind Mason Rudolph or Aaron Rodgers
Pat Freiermuth embraces chance to learn behind Mason Rudolph or Aaron Rodgers As the Pittsburgh Steelers look to make 2025 the fifth straight year with a new starting quarterback at the helm, TE Pat Freiermuth is looking to make the most of the opportunity. While most offensive players might be sick of having to readjust to a brand-new signal-caller every year, Freiermuth recently argued on The Christian Kuntz Podcast that it's actually been a good thing for him—as he's been able to learn new aspects of the game from both Ben Roethlisberger and Russell Wilson. The big Steelers tight end even elaborated on what it would be like to learn behind Mason Rudolph in 2025—or even the rumored acquisition of four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers: "Yeah, I mean, so like whoever we get—like if it's Aaron, like whoever it is—even Mason—like Mason has his things, like Aaron has his things. It's gonna be cool to learn from all these guys, so I just take it and embrace it just to kind of, you know, understand more of the game of football, because everyone sees it a different way." Everyone definitely does see it in a different way—as Freiermuth's optimistic outlook couldn't have come at a more perfect time. It was recently reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room may be growing disheartened by the lack of clarity surrounding the quarterback position in 2025.
