HOUR 4 - Top 25 Penguins since 2000, Ray Fittipaldo, TRT

Top 25 Penguins since 2000 with special guest, Jeff in South Park! Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said it’s still status quo with TJ Watt and he wouldn’t be surprised if we see a hold out this time around instead of a hold in like 2021. Ray expects the Steelers to eventually give in to what Watt wants and make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league. Ray said the plan going forward should be to move Watt around on defense and Watt himself acknowledged...

Ray Fittipaldo looks at TJ Watt contract status

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said it’s still status quo with TJ Watt and he wouldn’t be surprised if we see a hold out this time around instead of a hold in like 2021. Ray expects the Steelers to eventually give in to what Watt wants and make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league. Ray said the plan going forward should be to move Watt around on defense and Watt himself acknowledged that. What kind of return would Watt fetch the Steelers in a trade...

HOUR 3 - Pens make trade, Steve Palazzolo, Debrief

BREAKING: The Penguins have made a minor trade, acquiring Matt Dumba from the Dallas Stars. Will the Pens make a big trade at some point to dump one of their bad contracts? The discussion turned to baseball and we centered it around Andrew McCutchen, who is apparently ‘untouchable’ at the trade deadline. Cutch has never played in a championship series. Should the Pirates give him that chance? The feeling is surely mutual, but we thought it was bizarre that McCutchen has never gotten a chance to ...

Palazzolo: Steelers are better after trade

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve said the trade that landed them Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith made them better, even if Minkah Fitzpatrick was part of that cost. Steve is confident that Ramsey is still a good football player and has better positional value than Fitzpatrick. Steve would still play Ramsey at outside corner, but he has the ability to move around with Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay also on the defense. Steve brought up how Ramsey played safety, nickel corne...

HOUR 2 - Projected Watt contract, Bob Pompeani, Power Rankings

What could a TJ Watt contract look like? Is he bound to be the highest-paid non-QB in the league? It could have a lot to do with the guarantees in the deal. Poni suggested a deal that would net Watt $42M/year with 3 of the 4 years being fully guaranteed. He said he would not give him that deal. KDKA TV’s Bob Pompeani joined the show. Poni asked Pomp about the Paul Skenes speculation put out there by Noah Hiles and if his time is really numbered here. The conversation shifted to TJ Watt and what ...

Pomp-pourri

KDKA TV’s Bob Pompeani joined the show. Poni asked Pomp about the Paul Skenes speculation put out there by Noah Hiles and if his time is really numbered here. The conversation shifted to TJ Watt and what a deal for him could look like. Pomp said the Steelers missed the boat on getting Watt on the cheap because they always wait until a certain time before working on contracts. Where does Pomp think Antonio Brown ranks among Steelers since 2000?

HOUR 1 - Skenes expiration date, GIVEAWAY, Jason Mackey

Could next season be the final one for Paul Skenes with the Pirates? A story from Noah Hiles suggested that it could be. It wasn’t a report from Noah, just his prediction of how things could end for Skenes in Pittsburgh. How does that make you feel as a Pirates fan? It feels like they are already waving the white flag on this guy who they drafted just 2 years ago. Can the Pirates do anything about it? GIVEAWAY. PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason disagreed with Noah and said he thin...

Jason Mackey answers questions on Skenes and Cherington

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason disagreed with Noah and said he thinks Paul Skenes will still be here for multiple seasons because he doesn’t see the team moving off from him ‘that soon.’ Jason is under the impression that Ben Cherington will run the deadline and the draft before he is let go later in the season. Will Cherington make some sort of Hail Mary trade?

HOUR 3 - Rooney family member calls out Steelers, ALL ACCESS, Debrief

Patrick Rooney Jr., a member of the Rooney family, said it would be ‘insane’ to give TJ Watt big money right now. Is it a nothing-burger or is there something there? He may not be as close to the family as other members, but he had several critiques of the team at-large. And he’s certainly not a fan of Aaron Rodgers or how his family has built the current team.

ALL ACCESS

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi reacted to Patrick Rooney calling out the Steelers and their way of business. One of the things he said was the ‘insane’ idea of paying TJ Watt. Can Watt accept his poor play from the end of last season and how can that impact his negotiations? Aditi said Watt is putting a plan together for a bounce back in 2025. She indicated that Watt hears the critics. Who does Aditi think is the best Steeler of the last 25 years? She thinks Troy Polamalu makes quite the case.

HOUR 2 - ESPN ranks Garrett over Watt, GIVEAWAY, Mike Florio

Another edge rusher debate to get us going. According to ESPN, the GMs, coaches, scouts, etc. around the league have rated Myles Garrett over TJ Watt. We can say Watt has had a better career than Garrett to this point, but who is going to have the better end to their career? GIVEAWAY. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show.

Mike Florio debates payment of TJ Watt

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Poni threw the red meat topic to Mike that someone in the Rooney family went on a podcast and said it would be ‘insane’ to sign TJ Watt to an extension. Mike wondered if the rubber was really going to meet the road with Watt and the Steelers. Mike still thinks Watt will take what the Steelers best offer is and it could be $36M/year instead of $40M/year. What would the guarantees look like? Mike said players care most about APY above all else in...

HOUR 1 - Paul Skenes anniversary, Calls, HOCKEY TALK!

Happy Anniversary, Paul Skenes! It’s been 2 years since the Pirates drafted him and they have gotten worse in the process. How is that possible? Does Skenes deserve any blame? It’s enraging to see what the Pirates have done so far with one of the best pitchers in baseball. How are the Pirates worse with Paul Skenes? HOCKEY TALK! Poni can’t figure out why his question about Gavin McKenna made people mad. Poni said people in Penn State gear give him bad looks.

HOUR 3 - Reynolds hates taxes, Debrief, Greg Brown

ESPN is continuing to put out potential Paul Skenes trade packages with a few weeks to go before the trade deadline. It feels like they are filled with names that we have, mostly, never heard of. We also looked at the no-trade list for Bryan Reynolds and it’s a little confusing. Is he afraid of taxes? Donny Football Debrief – Happy Birthday, Jack Lambert.

Greg Brown as Pirates try to end 4-game skid

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg told the doubters of Oneil Cruz in the HR Derby to watch him take BP sometime. Greg said it’s good for baseball and the Pirates having a player in the Derby. Greg said he plans on asking Don Kelly about Cruz taking part and if he’s worried about him going into a second half slump. Greg talked about a few big prospects that flopped with the Buccos. The guys wanted to get Greg’s reaction to the Cruz throw home from Sunday afternoon. Greg reitera...
