Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and the Steelers Radio Network thinks JuJu Smith-Schuster's best option was to stay with the Black n' Gold, in a system he's familiar with (that gets hime the ball) as opposed to being a third option in Kansas City, and an outlier in the run-first Ravens philosophy.

PFT Commenter runs through some of his favorite sports movies and how Kevin Costner has evolved as an actor from baseball player to rancher, Stan Savran takes a look at how the Steelers drafting some misses over the years has led to them drafting the same position in the early rounds in multiple years (Troy Edwards, Plexico Burress, Artie Burns, Terrelle Edmunds to name a few), and Joe Bartnick returns with a fresh Soft Dump, plus hockey is back on ESPN and our top traffic pet peeves.

Also, what is going on with Geno? And how changing a number has worked out well so far for Aston-Reese.
BigCat of Pardon My Take Podcast is critical of quarterback Mason Rudolph's cranium size, and wouldn't be surprised if the Bears sign JJ Watt to a ten-year deal, given the massive contract Fernando Tatis, Jr. received from the Padres yesterday that is upwards of $300 million for...fourteen years?!

Joe Bartnick of PuckOff Podcast is anxious to see what changes former Flyers goalie Ron Hextall will enact as GM and the toughness that Brian Burke will instill as President of Hockey Ops.

The Penguins failed to qualify for the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoff after losing 2-0 to the Montreal Canadiens Friday night, killing the best-of-five series 3-1 in favor of the Habs. Joe Bartnick is hurtin, but he's been through worse as a diehard Pens fan. So now the question is, where do GMJR and Sully & Co. go from here? And who stays along for the ride next season (whenever that will be) and who hits the road. There are quite a few pricey RFA's on the current roster, some of which have two cup rings from just a few seasons ago...
Joe Bartnick returns for one last Soft Dump and projects what the Pens have to do this off-season in his estimation. The 'Ol 29er wants a third line center more than anything. Gerry Dulac recaps an exciting weekend in San Francisco for the PGA Championship, and a yinzer wishes Sidney Crosby a happy birthday as only a true yinzer can.
Joe Bartnick returns for a very anxious Soft Dump ahead of Friday's pivotal Game 4. The series is not the only thing "clenching" around here, hey oh. How did the Pens wind up in the hole 2-1, and more importantly what can they do to get out! Can they still get out?!? Joe says so, but the answer is not in Patrick Marleau.
To misquote the great Badger Bob, "you can lose (two) and still win the series," and it all comes down to today at 4pm for the Pens as the rest of their playoff lives are on the bubble thanks to a 2-1 Montreal series lead in the preliminary best-of-five round. Phil Bourque wants more from the alpha-males on the team like Patric Hornqvist, to "like a firecracker under someones ass!" and Joe Bartnick turns to the captain to steer his club outta the 2-1 mess.

Ben Roethlisberger spoke to the media yesterday for the first time this "season" with a much different attitude than last year, even insinuating not one, but two or more Super Bowls before he hangs it up for good. Phil Bourque gets you pumped for Game 3 tonight against Montreal and expects more of a show from the Pens stars, especially Geno. Mark Madden is so over the Pirates and their "stooge media," even first year manager Derek Shelton after an awful 2-9 start. Plus, Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle and the unique transplant patient out of the UK.
The Pens responded with a win last night thanks to the efforts of their captain striking early in the first period, something the Pens are quite good at according to Josh Getzoff. Mike Lange says he's still adjusting to calling the games remotely and can't quite make a judgement on the team's play since he's not in the arena, but thinks they can still find another gear. Plus Prisuta has all the postgame coverage from the team as they "hit the road" for Wednesday night's Game 3.
Phil Borque says the Pens will find their way in Game 2 tonight against the Habs in the Bubble up North, DVE Mario is disturbed by the quality of the ice in Toronto, and we count down Wilford Brimley's top 5 theatrical performances, excluding the classic oatmeal commercial of course.

Also, a look back at one of the all-time greatest Sean Casey stories on the show with Paul Virzi, and Stan Savran looks forward to the NHL playoff bubble.
Mr. Wednesday is a string cheese kinda guy, and he's pretty crafty around the house, too. We were lucky enough to have him on for an extra hour or two this morning. Phil Bourque is happy to be back in the color commentary saddle even if it's remotely, and already has a few thoughts on how the Penguins should orchestrate their powerplay after striking out against the Flyers in yesterday's exhibition game. Mark Madden's advice: let Sid be Sid.
The Pens have their one and only exhibition game against the Flyers today before the playoff play-in picks up later this week. Seth Rorabaugh has a decent idea of what to expect against the Habs, but the rest of the playoff field is wide open. Missi Matthews details the Steelers new-look Training Camp protocol, which is very reliant on testing, and Billy Gardell's PlayStation Pirates are struggling, too.
The Pirates pitching and hitting woes were ever present in Games 1 & 2 in St. Louis over the weekend, only to be vanquished in the club's first victory (and manager Derek Shelton's first victory) of the abbreviated season yesterday. Young bullpen arms impressed, and the bats showed up, too, but could it all end so soon as the Miami Marlins are reporting at least 14 additional positive COVID-19 tests today. Meanwhile, the Pens are set for the playoffs to begin in Toronto, and the Steelers are inching closer and closer to the start of training camp.

The Penguins are inching closer day by day to resuming the 2020 campaign and the plot is only thickening, primarily inside the crease between Matt Murray and Tristan Jarry, but Phil Bourque has his eyes on a talented forward who's two-way contributions rival that of Bryan Rust and Sidney Crosby. The Rolling Stones released a demo from the Goats Head Soup days featuring Jimmy Page called 'Scarlet,' which prompted the SuperGenius Mark Madden to discuss his favorite Page collaborations over the years and some that may have just missed the mark. Also, Mr. Wednesday is not a fan of the firehall comedy show free sauerkraut.
Doug Benson thinks it might be time for Tom Hanks to broaden his horizons past the quintessential war movie, Billy Gardell is the Bucs' skipper on MLB The Show and he has a bone to pick with some of the nation's favorite snacks.

Big Cat from Barstool Sports' Pardon My Take Podcast helped console Randy after his prob bet burn on Sunday and suggests the best way to recover is to get right back out there and bet again. Also, can we stop pretending like Andy Reid's trophy wife has anything to do with his Super Bowl victory?

Joe Bartnick returns for his first post-All-Star break Soft Dump and he expects to see more of Matt Murray between the pipes for the foreseeable future, which should excite Pens fans because having two capable goalies is better than one - especially with the playoffs looming. And who wouldn't love to see Tom Wilson in a Penguins sweater? Even though we love to hate him, there is something to say about the Capitals controversial top line winger. And who should the Penguins shop as the trade deadline approaches? Plus, Joe's weekly awards.

Mr. Wednesday wants to bring back shoelace potato chips, and Mark Madden is pleased with this year's top rated Super Bowl ad.
Jaromir Jagr once taught the Hall of Famer a saying in Czech that became a timeless goal call, Tom Wilson (as hated as he is) is the complete hockey player, and sometimes having two goalies really is better than having one - especially for the Penguins.
They all can't be perfect, but Super Bowl LIV was pretty clean from an officiating point of view except for, well, arguably the most important play of the game. Either way, Gene Steratore wants less replay in 2020 and would rather have the calls stay on the field. Thanks again to Gene for another great year of Zebra Talk!
Gene Steratore explores the phantom Pass Interference non-call Travis Kelce committed against Richard Sherman on the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl LIV, and whether or not he sees room for replay in 2020. Mike Lange spent a few bus trips alongside Jaromir Jagr in the early stages of his career with the Penguins, one of which led to a signature goal call. Also, Bill Crawford's take on the halftime show that left us all jaw-dropped.
Pat Mahommes and the Kansas City Chiefs capped off a wild Super Bowl weekend with a 31-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers last night in Super Bowl LIV. But there were plenty of fireworks aside from the game itself, most notably with the halftime show starring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, and some entertaining commercials as well. And Steeler Nation will have another fan favorite forever enshrined in Canton, while another has to wait for next year.
Dave Dameshek and Adam Teicher are on opposite ends of the Super Bowl prediction spectrum, Tammy Pescatelli is no stranger to the condescending mother-in-law, also, which snacks make your Super Bowl spread, and what to anticipate for Saturday's Hall of Fame induction class announcement.
The Ol' 29er stopped in yesterday to recap his trip to Prague over the All-Star break where he caught up with an old friend - Jaromir Jagr. A lot of time has past since Jags signed with the Flyers, prompting a bitter division between Jaromir and not just Pens fans, but Le Magnifique himself. But time heals all wounds, right?

Rick Gosselin of Talk of Fame Network is rather optimistic about the Steelers chances of making a big splash in Canton this year, a few names come to mind. Chiefs diehard Chris Porter will be in San Francisco for Super Bowl weekend, but that won't stop him from expressing his fandom as he only knows how - Chiefs leather jacket. Also, what he would rather watch in place of the halftime show featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. And a disgruntled, fired college offensive coordinator calls into to explain himself.
Big Cat of Barstool Sports is in South Beach for all the Super Bowl festivities unraveling this week, and is celebrating with a rather tame vice of choice. Also, we ask him about his interview with Kobe he conducted for "The Corp" podcast and how his intensity will never be matched. Billy Gardell has an unlikely Oscar prediction, but stands firmly behind one of his favorite movies of all time.
The first half of the NHL season is in the books and Joe Bartnick from Puck Off's Morning Skate Podcast covers everything from Matt Murray's recent surge between the pipes to Justin Schultz's imminent return to the blue line and who the Pens might look to acquire in the coming weeks.

Pirates Manager Derek Shelton interprets Pirates fans' frustration as a diehard passion for baseball and hopes to build off a successful 2019 campaign with the Twins by evaluating the young core of talent in Pittsburgh. He likes Pearl Jam, too! Stan Savran warns the Pirates not to straddle mediocrity and to decide whether to build on what is currently in place, or blow it all up. Also, Gritty is wanted after allegedly punching a young fan, which reminds us of a time when Bill Crawford's mom went at it with the Pirate Parrot.
The 'Ol 29er is planning on spending some time visiting an old friend of Penguins lore while he spends the All-Star break in the Czech Republic. The Penguins managed only 19 shots on goal last night in Philly, not an ideal close to the first half of the season, but Mark Madden insists it's a bad loss and nothing more. Also, Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle resurrects some of South Western PA's finest Missed Connections.
Val has comprised a compelling list of some of the best/worst hair metal ballads from the 80s, We think the Pens should let Mike Lange make a blues playlist of songs to play in between the action at PPG Paints Arena if only for a night, and Gene Steratore gives his approval on a clean weekend of officiating during the Conference Championship games.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers are headed to Super Bowl LIV in two weeks and Big Cat already has his squares game paired off, even though the pot inevitably goes to that one person who didn't watch a single down all season.

Sad news broke late Friday afternoon with Neil Peart's passing, and we couldn't think of a better way to honor the rock legend by dedicating all the tunes this morning to the Canadian Zeppelin - RUSH, and asking some great drummers like Jim Donovan (Rusted Root, Jim Donovan and The Sun King Warriors) and Steve Gorman (The Black Crowes, Trigger Hippy) to recount the legacy of one of the greatest drummers of all time.

Steeler Nation showed up Sunday in a huge way as the Steelers defeated the Cardinals 23-17. The whole Morning Show crew was there, including Mike Prisuta who caught up with players after the game. Also, pieces from Saturday's broadcast live at Harrold's Cave Creek Corral, and Gerry Dulac on what Sunday's victory means moving forward.
What a weekend for the Steelers, who felt very much at home Sunday at State Farm Stadium for a 23-17 victory over the Cardinals. Even captain Cam Heyward was impressed by the turnout from Steeler Nation! Also, it seems as though karma is finally catching up with the New England Patriots who were at the mercy of some questionable officiating on Sunday, and Gene Steratore couldn't help but think of his radio friend Randy Baumann

Legendary comedian, actor, and director Bobcat Goldthwait stopped by for an hour ahead of his performance this weekend at the Improv. Sundance Film Festival gaffs, breaking character at comedy clubs, destroying sets on late night TV shows, and befriending Kurt Cobain - the stuff of legends.
Big Cat's Bears and the Steelers are in a similar spot at this point in the season: both teams have stout defenses and quarterback struggles, yet they're both vying for playoff positioning. Missi Matthews will head out to Phoenix with Steeler Nation for what is shaping up to be quite the party all weekend long.
Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle and Bill commiserate about saving for retirement and the embarrassment of initially meeting with a financial adviser, Mark Madden wagers who he thinks should headline the upcoming tour between Poison, Def Leppard and Motley Crue, Merril Hoge is already in Phoenix anticipating our arrival, and we also hear from Gary Hoey and Charlie Batch.
Gene Steratore reviews the litany of questionable calls from Sunday's victory over the Browns, Cam Heyward's pajama preference, the new sunning fad that's sweeping the nation, and Martin Scorsese's next endeavor - BabyFellas.
Duck is 2-0 as a starter, Tim Benz likes the chemistry between James Washington and Hodges, but is it good enough for the Steelers to take three of the next four? Gerry Dulac finds the Browns antics leading up to kickoff to be quite amateur, especially for a team touted to win the division in the pre-season. Stan Savran joins for a Power Hour and Billy Gardell stops by with his Maaa!! after the Terrible Towel Twirl, and he may have lost his voice, but the Brownies last the season yesterday.
The 1987 marked one of the more bitter seasons in NFL history due to a labor dispute, but there wasn't any loved lost between the Steelers and Browns either as Merril Hoge remembers being baptized with batteries from the Dog Pound. Dave Dameshek is ready for Duck, but is weary of endorsing him as the starter for the rest of the season and for good reason.
Steelers captain Cam Heyward responds to Myles Garrett's accusations toward Mason Rudolph by calling Garrett's actions, "childish." Gene Steratore measures the importance of maintaining a clean game between two bitter rivals, much like the one on Sunday, and Big Cat is all in on Duck. Also, Charlie Batch warns the Steelers to tread carefully when naming their starter and warns against riding the hot hand week to week.
Tim Benz, Gerry Dulac and Stan Savran all agree - there's no way the Steelers can start Mason Rudolph at home vs the Browns on Sunday. It's Duck's game to lose, and although he may be on a short leash, he's the hot hand currently.
Comedian Sam Morril will be at the Pittsburgh Improv all weekend! Check out his take on the differences between acting and performing stand-up, the legendary '07 Giants and why Sebastian Maniscalco would make for a funny Scorsese villain.

Director Marielle Heller and journalist Tom Junod give insight into the production and casting behind "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood," and how the story went from print to screen, why Tom Hanks was perfect for the role of Mr. Rogers, and the unique set design behind the film. Also - why Fred Rogers makes for a poor protagonist.
Mr. Wednesday has been balding for quite some time now, but he won't give in and Bic it, Merril Hoge and Charlie Batch had never seen anything like Thursday night's melee against Mason Rudolph, although Mark Madden thinks he should have been handed a one game suspension, and we hear from the Tomlin Translator.
Gene Steratore never saw an incident like Thursday night's erupt during a game he officiated, PFT Commenter tries to quack like Duck Hodges, Cam Heyward and how the Steeler D can rebound against the Bengals, Billy Gardell only had one chance to get it right with his Legos.
Steelers captain Cam Heyward elaborates on the melee that occurred in the closing seconds of Thursday night's loss against the Browns and how the defense can step up the pressure in Week 12 in Cincinnati.
PFT Commenter solicits the help of Duck Hodges to perfect his duck call during halftime of last night's Monday Night Football broadcast, and once had his arms outlined with makeup to help pronounce his biceps a bit more, and a report that the Steelers are asking the NFL to levy a suspension against Mason Rudolph.
Gene Steratore prides himself on never having to diffuse a situation like we saw on Thursday night in Cleveland, he called mostly clean games aside from the typical skirmishes in between plays.
Vera Clemente, wife of Pirates legend Roberto Clemente, passed away yesterday. Steve Blass remembers his valuable time spent with the Clementes and how Vera continued her husband's legacy after his tragic passing in 1972.
Vera Clemente, wife of Pirates legend Roberto Clemente, passed away yesterday. Steve Blass remembers his valuable time spent with the Clementes and how Vera continued her husband's legacy after his tragic passing in 1972. Gerry Dulac and Stan Savran diagnose the Steelers offensive problems and how Randy Fichtner and Mike Tomlin can get creative in the remaining six weeks of the season, though personnel will be an issue.
Tim Benz of TribLive Sports thinks a season-ending suspension for Browns DE Myles Garrett is worthy punishment for his helmet wielding antics at the end of last night's 21-7 loss in Cleveland. Also, an update on the Pirates continuous front office job hunt.
Last night's loss has been overshadowed by one of the most controversial plays in NFL history, when Browns defensive end Myles Garrett ripped off and swung Mason Rudolph's helmet and struck him in the head. Former players and media personalities from all over are condemning Garrett's actions, but he does have some unique supporters in his corner. Tim Benz and Mark Madden want Garrett gone for the rest of the season, comedian Deon Cole started doing stand up on a bet, and Sean Collier's movie reviews
It will take more than a mild illness to sideline Joe Haden, and Missi Matthews fully expects him to take the field against his former team tonight in Cleveland. She's also impressed with James Conner's performance this week and expects the running game to pick up where it left off with it's star back in the lineup.
He's been in the Black and Gold corner since Week 1, since the Patriots blowout, since the 0-3 start, through all of the injuries and "Fire Tomlin" drama, he's stood by your side, Steeler Nation, and he's not going anywhere. Big Cat has lofty expectations for the resilient Steelers and their menacing defense.
Ohio. A river runs through it. A river which forms in Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A river worthy of a name change, perhaps a few Steelers would come to mind. Will the Black and Gold keep rolling in Week 11 against a reeling Cleveland Browns squad? History might suggest otherwise, but the 2019 Steeler Defense is looking to place itself among past units of Steeler lore.
It's Game Day and Dave Dameshek is fired up for Steeler Nation to take down the Brahnies in Cleveland tonight. Big Cat of Barstool Sports has been with Black and Gold since day one of this season and is just starting to reap the benefits. Missi Matthews has updates on the Steelers probables and those who will not see any action tonight. Also comedians Felicia Gillespie and Joe Bartnick stop by in studio.
The backup vs the Cleveland's prodigal son tomorrow night. Although this season hasn't exactly shaped up to be what most Browns fans anticipated heading into Week 1. But that can all be salvaged by knocking off a thriving AFC North rival tomorrow night. There is plenty to play for, even for the Browns who are essentially trying to salvage a lost season.
The SuperGenius has some inconsistent interests: Loves wrestling, hates comics, "likes" the Steelers, rips JuJu. However, he's being forced to defend his "No Ben, No Chance" stance now that the Steelers have seemingly revived their season for the time being.
The Steelers Defense needs a nickname, especially after resurrecting a seemingly lost season. And how does Minkah Fitzpatrick seem to make is way to the ball on every play? Plus how can the Smother Brothers keep it rolling in Cleveland tomorrow night
The Steelers defense has been the driving force behind the team's five-win resurgence, but they need a nickname - and Cam Heyward has solicited your help. Merril Hoge likes what he sees from Baker Mayfield, especially in comparison to Johnny Manziel, but sees more maturity in Mason Rudolph. Mark Madden is a man of inconsistent taste, and Joe Bartnick has had enough with the gender reveal parties.
Gene Steratore gives his perspective of the wonky fumble recovery that led to a touchdown for Minkah Fitzpatrick on Sunday, and what it's like talking to coaches during pregame. Charlie Batch has a theory behind the Steelers safety on Sunday, and what kind of miscues may have led to the blown play. And a Bengals fan will not come down off the roof of a bar until they win.
Charlie Batch explains the reasoning behind the Steelers only blemish in their 17-12 victory vs. the Rams on Sunday - that safety following a botch Ryan Switzer punt return. But are the Steelers tipping plays? And Minkah Fitzpatrick's impact is on the Steelers turnaround has him on pace for Defensive Player of The Year.
Referee aficionado Gene Steratore has an interesting process behind defining the Minkah Fitzpatrick scoop and score that seemed (at least to everyone outside of Pittsburgh) to be an incomplete pass. Gene also describes what it's like to cut it up with coaches before the game, and some who really don't break character much at all (Jon Gruden).
The Steelers have battled back from an 0-3 start to earn a winning record through Week 10 at 5-4, and it's mostly thanks to Minkah Fitzpatrick's sheer dominance in the secondary, and just like that the Steelers currently hold the sixth seed in the AFC. Tim Benz outlines his dream playoff scenario, Gerry Dulac shakes down the rest of the schedule and how the Steelers can stay in the hunt, and Stan Savran thinks this is the best defense he's seen in over a decade.
Tom Green describes his Andy Kauffman-esque comedic approach to his earlier acts, and how he's evolved from the deconstructing prankster to a polished stand-up over the years, and also how his SNL stunt with Drew Barrymore flopped.
Picture this - the worst of the worst around the NFL (and there are quite a few) duke it out, head to head in the week in between the end of the regular season and the playoffs - like literally the weekdays in between. An 8:30am kickoff between the Dolphins and Jets on a Wednesday morning? Would you tune in? Dave Dameshek would. Probably because it's his idea, but it's a good one.
It's been an eventful NFL season, but for the wrong reasons - multiple marquee players have suffered season ending injuries, lots of teams are terrible, which brings Dave Dameshek to the conclusion of his Garbage Bowl - pretty self explanatory. Veterans Day is Monday, November 11th, and Steve Montelone and It's About the Warrior Foundation are kicking off the weekend with their annual Veterans Day Classic featuring the Pittsburgh Warthogs vs Penguins alumni, including Colby Armstrong! Comedian Tom Green is in town all weekend at the IMPROV, and his standup has come along way from the deconstruction humor he mastered while on MTV in the late 90s Also, Sean Collier's movie reviews, Pittsburgh Steeler Steven Nelson, and The Clock Reads perform in the DVE Coffeehouse.
The Nats did it, Duck Hodges is still his guy, Pierogis are a superior comfort food, and Mitch Trubisky has to get over the fear of screens.
Rob Corddry didn't expect much from his Daily Show correspondent position, Missi Matthews breaks down Bud's superstar season, PFT Commenter loves pierogis, Frank Caliendo is BURNING (like Jim Rome).
Comedian Frank Caliendo assesses the NFL at the turn after Week 9, and revisits some classics like Jim Rome, Al Pacino, and John Gruden, even Robert Downey, Jr. and more!
The SuperGenius likes the Pirates presidential hire, but doesn't think it will enact much change, and predicts the Steelers brilliant turnaround will end this week. And next. And maybe even the Week after that, too.
The Steelers find themselves at 4-4 at the turn despite losing their franchise QB, and Mason Rudolph has been the subject of lofty criticism amid an unlikely mid-season comeback under his orchestration. And although Steeler Nation seems split over whether or not Rudolph is the franchise QB of the future, Merril Hoge insists the process takes seasons and not weeks, just look at Steve Young.
Merril Hoge isn't buying the "check down" theory behind Mason Rudolph's criticism, Mark Madden is impressed by the Steelers climb from 1-4 back to .500, but senses a demise is on the horizon, and we hear from the Tomlin Translator - who is inexplicably cruel to one player above all.
Back at 4-4, the Steelers have finally shaken their September Stench, thanks in large part to defensive standouts like Cam Heyward and his War Daddies Bud Dupree and TJ Watt. Even through questionable penalty calls and muffed reviews (to which Gene Steratore can attest), the Steelers have crawled their way into playoff contention at the halfway point.
The Steelers defense is it's strength. Not only are they consistently forcing turnovers, they're also improving on an individual basis in the face of injury. Bud Dupree has stepped up immensely, and TJ Watt is on a steady projection as well. So how will this unit look to keep the momentum rolling against the reigning NFC Champs?
Week 9 tells a similar story with pass interference review calls making headlines, especially in the Steelers-Colts game. Was Mike Tomlin right to challenge, or have league officials developed a tendency to rule in favor of their initial call? Either way the review process has muddled pace of play and will likely be repealed after an abysmal NFL season.
Minkah Fitzpatrick makes another game changing play in yesterday's slim victory over the Colts, but is it enough to quell the "Worthy Trade" debates? Tim Benz and Gerry Dulac measure the safety's input thus far, and the value in finishing (potentially) as a .500 team with him vs. finishing with a top 10 pick without him. Speaking of safety, what more can be gathered from Mason Rudolph's play through five games, he's 3-2. And Stan Savran is fed up with the Special Teams, in nearly all aspects.
Dave Dameshek of the NFL Network likes Mason's progressions leading into another pivotal match up against a formidable AFC foe, Donnie Iris remembers the days when teachers grabbed you by the hair and smacked you upside the head, Minkah Fitzpatrick embraces Steeler Nation, and Godfrey once met James Caan - hairy shoulders and all. Also, Sean Collier's movie reviews and Wreck Loose perform in the Coffeehouse.
Donnie Iris and The Cruisers will return to the Palace Theater on February 1st, 2020 to celebrate their 40th anniversary along with Joe Gruscheky and The Houserockers. Tickets are on-sale TODAY at 10am! Get 'em while they last!
The turnover machine himself joined the Morning Show for a few minutes this morning to discuss coming to the Burgh and where he enjoys a slice around town, and why he's thankful to be a Steeler.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Colts are one of the best teams in the AFC, but they're lead by a backup QB as well. Dave Dameshek breaks down a pivotal game (at this point, they're all pivotal to be honest) for the Steelers who can do some damage in the Wild Card Hunt with a victory on Sunday.
Happy Halloween! Big Cat comes to a scary realization about his Chicago Bears and how to properly dispose of your diapers. Missi Matthews sat down with a new fan favorite among Steeler Nation to discuss his surprising ovation on Monday Night.
The comedy world took a hit yesterday when legend John Witherspoon passed away at the age of 77. Comedian Roy Wood, Jr. called in to share some memories he had of Witherspoon, including driving him home for three nights after shows in Nashville.
Just the Steelers luck - a day after their best game on the ground, James Conner and Benny Snell find themselves on the Injury Report. Thankfully, Jalen Samuels looks like he'll be good to go against he Colts on Sunday, which bodes well for the Steelers considering their inconsistent offensive showings as of late. Do they have what it takes to defeat one of the best teams in the AFC?
Is it pronounced Vinnie A-piece? The SuperGenius returns after a brief hiatus and a day after catching UFO at Jergel's. Oh, and the Pens beat the Flyers 7-1 last night, yesterday could have been named Mark Madden Day across Allegheny County, but it wasn't.
Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle and the perils of finding a babysitter, Merril Hoge insists Steelers need a run game, and the Colts are among the top teams in the league, Charlie Batch is sticking with Mason, and Mark Madden saw what might have been his favorite UFO show last night. Also, comedian Roy Wood, Jr. remembers the late John Witherspoon.
Referee aficionado Gene Steratore can't catch a break. Between the two OPI calls from last night's game and the ten minute measurement delay, the officiating crew didn't cut Geno any breaks for this morning - which begs the question, what the hell is going on across the league? Back in his day, officials had one minute, sixty seconds, to review a call and if they couldn't find anything egregious in a minute, then it must not have been a foul, can't say the same for the current process...
Steelers captain Cam Heyward comments on last night's victory, (boos and all) and why his dad didn't want him to play youth football despite being taller than his Kindergarten teacher.
The Steelers nearly covered the spread last night in their 27-14 victory over the winless Miami Dolphins, but it wasn't without drama. Captain Cam Heyward applauds Minkah Fitzpatrick's efforts in the victory and scouts out a tough opponent in Jacoby Brissett and the Colts. Gene Steratore fields more complaints from some questionable calls in last night's game, as well as a 10 minute review process ... yikes. Billy Gardell returns to the 17 best movie soundtracks of all time according to Better Housekeeping, and Tim Benz was ready for Duck.
The Steelers finally return to action tonight on Monday Night Football against the winless Miami Dolphins, but don't let the "0" in 0-6 fool you. How can the Black and Gold ensure victory and stay in the Wild Card hunt? Stan Savran and Gerry Dulac break down tonight's match up. Also, Jesse Ventura has a hunch on the real story behind Booger McFarland's crane, and an ode to the 2nd string QB the Steelers took in Round 3.
Mike Hilton on the new-look Steelers secondary and how they can maintain the pressure after the Bye Week, Dave Dameshek lowers your expectations but doesn't count the Steelers out just yet, Marlon Wayans once made Eddie Murphy crack up on set, Sean Collier with perhaps the scariest movie of the year, and Dinosoul perform in the DVE Coffeehouse.
Superstar Marlon Wayans was once heckled by Chris Rock then had the chance to make his comedy idol laugh on set, from making movies to climbing the open mic ladder, Marlon has seen and done it all.
Dave Dameshek breaks it down nice and simple for ya, all Mason has to do is take 7 of the next 10 and the Steelers are in, but it all starts Monday night against a reeling Dolphin team that has recently found a spark of life from Ryan Fitzmagic. Hold on!
Steelers DB Mike Hilton has a specific fast food french fry preference, describes what it's like to get chewed out by Phil Rivers, and has high praise for rookie Devin Bush through the first six games of the season.
The Nationals have somehow taken a 2-0 lead in the World Series and PFT Commenter is expecting everyone to jump on the Natwagon unless they reach out to him individually to state otherwise. But all is not well in DC Sports, as Dan Snyder and the Redskins continue to be a laughing stock around the NFL, and tonight their former starting QB (who is among the hottest in the league) will have his chance for revenge.
PFT Commenter is feeling the Natitude after the Nationals notched a 2-0 lead in the World Series last night, all are invited aboard the Natwagon. He's also looking forward to Kirk Cousins' revenge tonight against the Redskins. Missi Matthews updates us on the possibility of a significant Steeler sitting out on Monday, and Pete Correale has an appetite for late night snacks.
Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle takes us through his cold-defeating protocol, Merril Hoge warns Steeler Nation to weary of the winless Dolphins ahead of Monday night, and Paul Guggenheimer and his TribLive team have new documentary out one after the attack at Tree of Life Synagogue.
The Steelers captain takes a look around the defense after the Bye and likes the production he sees so far from rookie Devin Bush and Tyson Alualu (who's filling in for an injured Stephon Tuitt), but there's still plenty of work to be done.
Cam Heyward took the family to ZooBoo during the Bye Week, Gene Steratore shares his thoughts about the Eye in the Sky during NFL games, Sally Wiggin is in for Val ahead of her trip to Africa, and we have details on the newest scary spectacle in town - The Pittsburgh Haunthole.
The Mayor stops in to preview the 2019 Fall Classic between the Nationals and the Astros and reminisces about his favorite World Series memories from the '06 Tigers, including taking batting practice from Andy Van Slyke, and shares some of his grueling off-season regiments to stay in shape.
Sean Casey (The Mayor) stops in to recount some of his most treasured World Series memories as a player with the 2006 Detroit Tigers, and what it was like to be among some of his favorite Pirates growing up as a Pittsburgh kid. Gerry Dulac assesses the Steelers after the Bye and their chances of climbing back among the ranks of the AFC. Also, the Hulk calls in and Tim Benz fills in for Mike.
Sean Collier ranks the best places around town to catch your favorite horror film, Dave Dameshek lays out a realistic scenario for Steelers fans, comedian Dov Davidoff discusses how the climate around comedy has altered his act and that of other comedians for better or for worse, and Brahctopus perform in the DVE Coffeehouse.
Bee sting talk segues into the movie "My Girl," which features what perhaps becomes the first protagonist death on screen for many young viewers, Cam Heyward being one of them, who also watched "The Goonies" as a five year old. On the defensive front, there's lots of chemistry to make up now that Stephon Tuitt will miss the remainder of the season, which means Cam, Javon Hargrave, and Tyson Alualu all have their work cut out for them.
Big Cat of Barstool Sports' Pardon My Take Podcast has a brilliant idea to introduce children to the world of gambling - through a series of story books! He's also part of the Quack Pack, thanks to Devlin Hodges victory on Sunday Night, which - you guessed it - Big Cat wagered a couple bucks on the line.
Big Cat has a brilliant idea for a new children's book series, "Johnny's First Parlay," Cam Heyward remembers the first on-screen death he witnessed at the movies, and why he's protective of what the kids see on TV, Bobby Kelly has some brilliant ideas for merchandise ahead of the Kreeps with Kids comedy tour (Carnegie Music Hall of Homestead on Saturday, 10/19) and Missi Matthews weighs in on Mike Tomlin's dismissal of any QB controversy and where the Steelers will go without Stephon Tuitt.
He is one of the most iconic drummers in rock music, and regards himself as an established "pop drummer," which requires great discipline - so how does that translate to playing in a jam band with two of the most spontaneous musicians in the business, Les Claypool and Trey Anastasio?
Merril Hoge has a challenge for Devlin Hodges, Jeff Konkle discovers the challenges behind toddlers and their new beds, Stewart Copeland will be in town for a Q&A session next week, and he has some exciting news about Oysterhead.
Week 6 saw even more egregious calls across the NFL, especially in last night's Monday Night showdown between the Packers and the Lions. Gene Steratore has some explaining to do, in fact, when it comes to the ever-debatable topic of reviewing penalties, Gene believes the wrong fouls aren't being discussed. Charlie Batch is no stranger to the power of Steeler Nation taking it on the road, and shares his experiences of playing in front of the Black and Gold faithful in all four corners of the map.
Duck season is officially upon us, and while he didn't soar, Devlin Hodges did not flop last night in Los Angeles as the Steelers defeated the Chargers 24-17 to notch their second win of the season. Highlighted by some stellar defensive plays in both halves from rookie Devin Bush, Cam Sutton, Joe Haden and a deep defensive front, the Steelers pressured Phil Rivers all night. James Conner got the ground game going, and Benny Snell, Jr. even capitalized off some touches, too. So what's next for the 2-4 Steelers as they head into the Bye Week - some much needed rest. Tim Benz, Gerry Dulac and Stan Savran break down all the angles form last night's game, including the one area that still hinders the Steelers offensive success at Week 6.
Dave Dameshek has a silver lining for this lingering Steelers season as third string quarterback Devlin "Duck" Hodges is set to start on Sunday night in Los Angeles. Although the season may be lost at this point, a win on Sunday night can do a number for Duck and the boys. Comedian TK Kirkland once opened for NWA throughout an entire tour, and shares how his brand of comedy has developed over the years since he shared the stage with Eazy E, Ice Cube and Dre. Jenn Wertz and Josh Verbanets perform in the Coffeehouse ahead of their gig at The Thunderbird Cafe tonight.
Mired in Natitude and winless despair, PFT Commenter has a surprising offer for Steeler fans to lure Mike Tomlin away to Washington DC. Missi Matthews has embraced the Duck Bowl coming up on Saturday and shares how the third-string QB is already a fan favorite despite being overlooked by virtually everybody else in the NFL, and Steely McBeam has a new song and dance routine for his new favorite Steeler.
Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle has a few rules he'd like to administer at Heinz Field after attending Sunday's game vs. the Ravens, Merril Hoge likes what he sees from Duck, and thinks the defense is more than capable of stealing away a few wins, and Rick Sebak has a new episode of Nebby premiering tomorrow night at 8pm on WQED about an interview he did with Fred Rogers in 1987.
Gene Steratore has to explain the shenanigans behind plenty of miscues and bad calls from Sunday's loss against Baltimore, Cam Heyward remains optimistic thanks to an improving defense, Billy Gardell ranks his favorite Halloween Candy, and Charlie Batch thinks Devlin Hodges has nothing to lose. Plus, we have just the right guys to get to the bottom of the broken down cart issue.
Through the first five weeks of the season, much of our conversations with Gene have centered around reviewing "subjective" plays, and this week is no different. To say the least, Sunday's officiating crew at the Steelers-Ravens game was awful. Gene elaborates on the rational behind the calls and how to keep refs in check.
At 1-4, is it safe to rule the Steelers out of contention and mail in the rest of the 2019 campaign? Hold thy horses. The defense has found itself, and quarterback Devlin Hodges seems to ooze confidence from inside the pocket. Are we being delusional, especially after a significant divisional loss at home, yes probably. BUT what if, just maybe, we're not? Tim Benz, Gerry Dulac, and Stan Savran break down yesterday's dramatic loss and weigh the Steelers chances from here on out.
Steelers Rookie linebacker Devin Bush, Jr. has already made his mark in the defensive backfield, and he feels the unit as a whole has only improved since Week 1, and the sky is the limit in terms of how good the defense wants to be. Sunday will be a major test, no doubt, when Lamar Jackson and the Ravens visit Heinz Field, but Devin is ready and plans to treat the Steelers-Ravens rivalry like an old college rivalry he's quite familiar with.
It's the Year of the Backup all across the NFL, which means adjustments abound for a lot of teams - including the Steelers, who flashed some wild-cat combos vs. Cincinnati on Monday night. Can we expect more of the same on Sunday? And beyond? Also, which NFL mascot would you eat?
We're already to Week 5 in the NFL season and the drama is palpable, but for different reasons than expected, Devin Bush has already made an impact on defense but has yet to leave his mark in terms of celebrations, comedian Brendan Schaub feels passionately about just about every item on Taco Bell's menu, Sean Collier is fed up with the Joker hype, and Jim Donovan and The Sun King Warriors perform in the coffeehouse. Also, Steely McBeam has a new outfit.
Van Halen is done, so don't get any ideas of seeing the boys reunite, because it won't happen - at least with David Lee Roth at the helm, even though he is Van Halen (if you ask him, which we did). Anyway, Diamond Dave is headlining shows in Las Vegas so you can still experience all the VH you can handle.
Sally Wiggin at some strangers food at a Dancing with the Stars after party, she's also hosting a show at Arcade Comedy Theater tomorrow night: "Your High: Year Book Inspired Comedy." David Lee Roth puts an end to the Van Halen rumors - the band as you know it is done, but he will keep rolling in Vegas. Big Cat has a theory that Big Ben will appear to be more and more injured as Mason Rudolph further improves as the Steelers QB, and Missi Matthews highlights some vulnerabilities the Steelers may fall victim to when trying to contain Ravens QB Lamar Jackson on Sunday. Also, Kathryn Grashow has details about the World of Mae 5k happening this weekend at North Park.
Big Cat of Barstool Sports isn't buying into the Ravens hype just yet, a big win over a terrible Dolphins team in Week 1, yet dropping a divisional home game against Cleveland? Yikes. Also, is it possible that Big Ben can get more injured as Mason Rudolph improves? Andy Reid has a unique way of keeping time.
Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle lists his favorite untraditional breakfasts sweets, Merril Hoge says there is no shame in Mason Rudolph's check down passing game, so long as it works, Cam Heyward and the Steeler D have a more challenging task this week in trying to contain Lamar Jackson, and Matt Murray cleans up a lot of dog poop on the daily. Also, Mark Madden previews his expectations for Murray and the Penguins as they begin their season tomorrow night against Buffalo.
Penguins goalie and proud parent of two massive Newfoundland dogs previews the 2019-2020 campaign after a long off-season, what the atmosphere is like around the new squad, and just how he manages to look after over 330lbs (in total) of doggy.
Robbie Robertson has some new material due out, including a second memoir of his time with The Band, the significance of the Last Waltz and it's legacy (with so many all-stars still performing tributes today), plus a new documentary on the fabled Canadians and their Delta identities.
Steve Gorman's new book, "Hard to Handle: The Life and Death of The Black Crowes," bares all, and pretty much puts an end to any rumors of a Black Crowes reunion with THE ORIGINAL line up, you'll see why. Steve recounts when the band was firing on all cylinders in the early 90s and what it was like to play along side Jimmy Page.
It's no secret the Steelers have endured their struggles when it comes to just about every facet of reviewing challenges...then in stepped Gene Steratore. But seriously, wouldn't that be sick? Gene explains some annoying P.I. calls from last night's victory over the Bengals and why and how the Patriots received preferential treatment once again.
Jam packed show today as we celebrate the Steelers first win, but how many more will follow? Who cares! Last night was fun, but doom looms Sunday with the Ravens coming to town. However, a post-game fight in the locker room between two defensive backs may allude to some unrest in Baltimore, Tim Benz has more. Gene Steratore breaks down some frustrating P.I. calls last night and we unofficially offer him the position of being the Steelers Official Replay Review Guy, for when they need to challenge. At all. Black Crowes co-founder Steve Gorman has a new tell-all book, "Hard to Handle: The Life and Death of The Black Crowes," which is out now. Turns out, he had never drummed before the age of 21 when he moved to Atlanta to join the band. Crazy. And Robbie Robertson of The Band relives some classic re-releases and teases a new album and documentary.
The Pirates canned manager Clint Hurdle in the most Pirate way possible, and Adam Berry of MLB.com labels the lack of a veteran presence over the last few seasons to be a significant factor in Clint Hurdle's inability to maintain a positive atmosphere in the Pirates clubhouse, Gerry Dulac has noticed a bothersome method in Mason Rudolph's progressions. Stan Savran highlights some touching moments at the 2019 Hall of Honor induction ceremony at Heinz Field.
Everyone's darling Steve Blass will hang up the headphones this weekend after 60 years with the Pirates, 34 as a broadcaster - and it's been quite a career. A World Series hero, with the likes of some of the greatest baseball players of all time, an All-Star appearance (with more legends), and some memorable moments in the booth. Congratulations, Steve!
0-3 is pretty daunting, but it isn't the end of the world, it's a long season after all, but 0-4 would be disastrous. So, the Steelers have to figure out a winning formula for Monday, especially against the division rival Cincinnati Bengals, and according to Dave Dameshek of the NFL Network, it starts with having Mason Rudolph under center HANDING OFF (not tossing) to James Conner to establish a more reputable running game, which will evolve into play action passes downfield. There. Write that down.
According to Steve Blass, "I'm not a legend, Ron Jeremy is a legend! I am a mere pawn in the chess game of life." We couldn't disagree more, Steve is an absolute legend and he will wind down a 60 year career with the Pirates (34 in the booth) as he retires from broadcasting. Dave Dameshek of the NFL Network insists all is not lost, though it does look bleak for the Steelers. Diontae Johnson has the potential to be an explosive receiver for the Steelers, which is just what they need. Plus, Sean Collier's movie reviews and the Redlines perform in the Coffeehouse.
PFT Commenter breaks down some simple Twitter instructions for our younger demographic, and just what Rex Ryan was trying to get at by insulting Baker Mayfield. Missi Matthews addresses Mason Rudolph's confidence ahead of his first home start against a divisional opponent. Comedian T-Robe was once a flight attendant and had a unique way of dealing with rude passengers. Also, the Tomlin Translator deciphers all of Coach T's rhetoric.
It's been an odd NFL season through three weeks, to say the least. Lots of injuries to significant players across the league, former coaches (Rex Ryan) criticizing hotshot QBs (Baker Mayfield), the Bills are undefeated, weird stuff. How can Bills Mafia really make a statement against their undefeated division rival? Gonna take more than just a dildo on the field.
Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle would live at home if he could, Merril Hoge addresses a plethora of offensive issues for the Steelers including Mason Rudolph's confidence in the pocket, and Mark Madden doesn't understand why the Steelers are just now making transactions in the middle of a season that is already lost. Plus, we pay tribute to the late Robert Hunter, the Grateful Dead poet and lyricist who passed away yesterday at the age of 78.
Merril Hoge helps analyze the Steelers current condition through answering some simple questions: Should James Conner adjust his running style to help quell his fumbles? How can Mason Rudolph progress in his second start, and why was he so reluctant to take shots downfield? Also, what does the offensive line have to do in order to propel the running game?
Tom Brady's recent complaints on holding calls prompted a conference call amongst officials, which resulted in a 50% decrease in calls from Week 2-Week 3. Interesting. Gene Steratore chimes in on Tom's reluctancy to withhold his comments. Cam Heyward is pleased with the defense's increased turnover margin but insists there is still plenty of work to be done, starting with all eleven guys minding their gaps to stop the run. Billy Gardell's new sitcom "Bob Hearts Abishola premiered on CBS last night, and despite his success on the living room screen, Billy almost threw in the cards and walked away from the casino that is showbiz in Hollywood, then he caught a break.
Team captain Cam Heyward details the steps his defense has to take in order to turn the corner, even though they've proven to be a more productive unit in terms of forcing turnovers, and Minkah Fitzpatrick seems to fit right in so far. One aspect of the game as proven especially lethal so far: the running game. How do they stop it? Cam insists on having all eleven guys mind their gaps. Christmas is still three months away, but it's never to early to build your list, and Cam's is pretty short!
The Steelers fell to 0-3 yesterday at the hands of the 49ers despite forcing five turnovers (to just committing two of their own). The Black and Gold failed to play a complete game on both sides of the ball, surrendering big plays after earning a lead, and stalling out on key drives after forcing a turnover. So who catches the brunt of the blame? There's certainly plenty of it to go around. Stan Savran raises legitimate concerns about an offensive line touting three All-Pros, but cannot seem to create space for James Conner, and Tim Benz cites a critical defensive lapse at a turning point in yesterdays loss. Also, the 15th annual Voices Carry charity banquet will take place tomorrow. John Lydon gives the inside scoop, log on to www.auberle.org for tickets.
At Day 2 of our annual Radiothon at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Brett Keisel and Colby Armstrong team up with WWE superstars Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins to see who can get the most Rockstars in 45 minutes!

Seven is out for the remainder of the season, but be calm Steeler Nation - all is not lost just yet. Why blame Colbert & co. for poor draft strategies yet get angry over their decision to trade a 1st rounder for an established NFL safety? You can't have it both ways! Minkah Fitzpatrick and Mason Rudolph will look to notch a huge victory on Sunday in San Francisco in their first true starts as Steelers. Oh boy.
It's time for our 12th annual Radiothon! Today, we hear from President of CHP Mark Sevco on what it means to be ranked among the top ten Children's Hospitals in the country, Brittany Stone and Nicole Steele are two music therapists who work hands on with the patients to ensure their stay in the hospital is as comfortable as possible, and Danielle McKain of Jameson's Army shares her family's experience with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and why Radiothon and CHP mean so much to her family.

This year has proven to be a wild ride for the Steelers (to say the least), and two events in the past 24 hours have only strengthened the whirlwinds around the 2019 campaign and it's only Week 2! We're referring to Ben Roethlisberger's season-ending elbow injury, and the acquisition of safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (for a 2020 First Round Pick, no less). Is Fitz the missing piece to a promising defense that has shown glimpses of greatness and mediocrity, does Cam think he's played his last down with Ben Roethlisberger? Check out the full interview here!
In our Week 2 edition of Zebra Talk with CBS Sports Officiating aficionado Gene Steratore, we discuss the atrocious Pass Interference call on Steelers DB Terrell Edmunds, which lead to a touchdown, and whether or not subjective calls like that one should be challengeable, or subject to review. Also, Gene Simmons has a special message for Gene Steratore.
CBS Officiating aficionado Gene Steratore is in agreement with many (especially Steeler Nation) about the new Pass Interference rules and how subjective calls should not be reviewable. Cam Heyward is excited to begin working with the newly acquired Minkah Fitzpatrick, Billy Gardell shares how writers grow to be producers when working with Chuck Lorre, and comedian Craig Gass rats out Tom Arnold's AA sponsors.
Where do the Steelers go from 0-2, down key starters (including Ben Roethlisberger) and staring straight into a west coast matchup against the 2-0 49ers? And how should the NFL adjust the new Pass Interference review rules? Tim Benz, Gerry Dulac and Stan Savran explain. Also, the always hilarious Craig Gass stops by the studio.
Dave Dameshek insist's Bill Belichick answer questions surrounding his controversial receiver, TJ Watt hates horror movies thanks to some thoughtless pranks from his older brothers when they were younger, comedian Ian Bagg wants to get sticky with s'mores, Sean Collier wants to revive the Friday the 13th franchise, and Sean Casey once witnessed a naked old guy brawl in the clubhouse. Also, The Hawkeyes perform in the DVE Coffeehouse.
Has Bill Belichick finally flown too close to the sun with the AB acquisition? And not wanting to answer questions on the receivers abhorrent accusations? Dave Dameshek of the NFL Network says the NFL mastermind welcomed the media storm associated with Brown's troubled pass, so he should have to answer for it. Don't the Patriots just make you wanna puke?
Latest news out of the Pirates clubhouse this week featured a brawl between relief pitchers Kyle Crick and Felipe Vazquez (over some tunes apparently). The Mayor Sean Casey calls in with some behind the scenes stories of some of his favorite clubhouse brawls he's witnessed over his careers - players, coaches, everybody.
Steelers linebacker TJ Watt is not a fan of horror movies thanks to some torturous pranks from his older brothers involving a hidden bluetooth speaker and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Also, The Green Dot has been the focal point of a lot of questions for TJ this week, listen to how the Steeler D can bounce back at home against Russell Wilson and the Seahawks Superior ground attack.
PFT Commenter will challenge Dan Patrick's team to a game of 3v3, possibly after Gronk returns to the NFL? Who knows! Missi Matthews explores the process behind the Green Dot, also comedian Ian Bagg hangs out in studio!
PFT Commenter of Pardon My Take Podcast and Barstool Sports was so excited to meet Rob Gronkowski that it looked like he had tanned. Also, which sports analysts could still cut it up in the pros? And The Barstool boys will take on Dan Patrick's team in a little 3v3 basketball game.
The SuperGenius on why the Pitt-Penn State rivalry has lost its luster, why the Pats should cut AB, the main reason behind Kessel's trade this past off-season and much more.
Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle got to experience the Penguins season ticket delivery surprise, much to the chagrin of his son. Merril Hoge views the Seahawks as a solid matchup for the Steelers, and the perfect opportunity for the Black and Gold to bounce back, and Mark Madden looks to spread his generosity.
Merril Hoge labels the 2019 Patriots defense as a new and improved version of their near flawless Super Bowl defense from a season ago - yikes. Despite being outplayed in just about every aspect of the game on Sunday night in New England, Merril believes that the Seahawks provide a great opportunity for the Black and Gold to bounce back because, "you can't underestimate a professional who's been embarrassed."
Gene Steratore takes us inside the mechanics of the 10 second run-off, which factored in two important match-ups in Week 1, Cam Heyward says distractions weren't a factor in Sunday's loss in New England, but defensive miscues and communication breakdowns were, and Rob Rossi recently sat down with Evgeni Malkin and discussed the center's disappointing 2018-19 season, and why it all had to come to an end with Phil the Thrill.
Rob Rossi of The Athletic recently sat down with Penguins Center Evgeni Malkin about his woeful 2018-19 campaign, a career worst. Malkin opens up like never before, and sheds light on some of his darker days in Pittsburgh, alone, away from his wife and child. It's a must read for all Pens fans.
Team captain Cam Heyward says it's important to grasp something from Sunday night's loss in New England, and that the Steelers simply can't just "move on" to Seattle. Miscommunication led to blown assignments, which led to another Tom Brady breakout performance on offense. Distractions? Not an issue. It doesn't get any easier this week with Seattle's league-best rushing attack in 2018 coming to Heinz Field. How can the D-Line rebound? Well, it's kinda like playing Jacksonville, according to Cam.
Officiating aficionado Gene Steratore for a Week 1 recap of Zebra Talk, featuring an in-depth explanation of the mechanical workings behind the 10-second run-off and how officials decide to rule pick plays on crossing routes, most recently seen during the Patriots routing of the Steelers on Sunday Night. Oof.
Last night's loss at the hands of the reigning Super Bowl champion Patriots was not what Steeler Nation had hoped for to say the least, even more so, it wasn't what anyone expected! A terrible offensive showing, yet another defensive dismantling from Tom Brady, and only a wimpy field goal to show for it all. Tim Benz and Stan Savran have some thoughts on the Patriots dink and dunk/crossing pattern success and why the Steelers should implement it, and Gerry Dulac has some harsh criticism for receiver Donte Moncrief, who tallied three receptions for seven yards and labeled last night's loss in Week 1 as, "a wake up call."
Steelers DE Stephon Tuitt is ready for 2019, and if you don't believe the hype - just listen to his Hulk Scream. It's kinda hard not to, because it's incredibly loud. Cam Heyward, Javon Hargrave, and Stephon Tuitt - O-Lines be warned!
Pittsburgh native and NFL Network host Dave Dameshek returns to the Morning Show and is absolutely amped for the 2019 Steelers campaign. Make no mistake, the offseason was a tumultuous one, but the Black and Gold are back, and equipped with a rather large chip on their shoulder.
Oh yeah, Ohhhhhh Yeaaah - Steelers Friday, baby. We've got all the coverage you need to get amped for Sunday Night. Stephon Tuitt re-introduces us to the D-Line and plans on breaking out his Hulk scream a lot this year, Dave Dameshek returns refreshed and ready for the 2019 season, and Trenni Kusnerick of NBC Sports Boston gives us some insight into what is shaping up to be the best Patriots defensive squad in fifteen years.

Big Ben is the Big Brother to the Steeler Wide Out youngins, Big Cat breaks down Mark Davis' wardrobe and his favorite chain restaurant, Missi Matthews gets you pumped for Week 1 and The Gathering Field celebrate their 25th anniversary of their first album release in the Coffeehouse
Big Cat talks to coach Hugh Freeze following his bedside coaching excursion, deems Mark Davis a solid contender for the Hall of Fame of Fail Sons, PF Changs, MiniVan and all. Also, Bears-Packers tonight officially kick off the 2019 NFL Regular Season - and you can probably guess who Big Cat has pegged for a bruising.
Missi Matthews of Steelers.com has all the headlines covered for Week 1, from Sean Davis' progression to JuJu Smith-Schuster's Sports Illustrated cover shot, to the team putting the pieces together for the 2019 campaign and blocking aht all that noise!
Football is back, baby! Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger shares his thoughts on the 2019 campaign ahead of Sunday Night's match up in New England, how his "little brother" receivers are bonding over 90's romance movies, why Ryan Switzer has control of the weight room AUX chord, and getting the cold shoulder from his kids on their way to school.
Jeff Konkle is back from family vacation, one in which he prefers to drive to rather than fly out of sheer inconvenience. Merril Hoge returns for his 30th year with WDVE and shares nutritional secrets from his playing days. And Gerry Dulac has the scoop on how much playing time Devin Bush will get in Week 1 and potentially beyond.
Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette asked Mike Tomlin yesterday about how much playing time Devin Bush will get in Week 1 against the Patriots. His response left some room for doubt in terms of Bush playing the entire game. A similar approach was taken last year with first rounder Terrell Edmonds getting a "part-time" label, but ended up leading the league in snaps among rookies. Regardless, Steeler Nation is amped for their first round pick to have a dramatic impact on the 2019 version of the Steeler Defense.
A lot has changed in the thirty years since Merril Hoge first appeared on the DVE airwaves - nutrition and dietetics are no exception. In his day, if you wanted to gain weight in the offseason, you lifted and ate potatoes, maybe even a banana split, too! But thats not what Tom Brady does (or any athlete for that matter).

Benny Snell, Jr. is quickly becoming the glowing pick from this weekend's draft (aside from Devin Bush).

Matt Jones of KentuckySportsRadio.com can't say enough about who he claims is the best back in Wildcat history. Billy Gardell doesn't wanna use dryer sheets anymore, but he will be at Mountaineer Casino, Resort and Racetrack this Saturday. Visit MoreAtMountaineer.com for tickets!
Outside of Devin Bush's First Round selection, there were some other noteworthy picks in this weekends draft centering other areas of concern for the Steelers - namely Special Teams. Which current Steelers may be out of a job this season thanks to this weekend's picks? Ray Fittipaldo as the answers and more
Ray Fittipaldo and Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette break down what seems to be an exceptionally promising draft class for the Steelers, highlighted by First Rounder Devin Bush as well as some potential late round steals. Aside from the NFL Draft, it was a huge weekend on the big screen and the small screen with the new Avengers movie debuting and episode three of Game of Thrones. Can't promise we won't spoil it!
Devin Bush was always the Steelers top selection, and they were able to secure him at an affordable price, according to Mark Kaboly. But what does this selection do to the rest of the defensive depth chart, and who will see less snaps as a result? Also, where do the Steelers go from here throughout the rest of the draft?
Mark Kaboly of The Athletic echoes sentiments of Steeler Nation by applauding GM Kevin Colbert's decision to trade up in the draft to select Devin Bush with the 10th overall pick in last night's 1st Round. Will the Steelers deal to get back in the 2nd Round? Tim Benz would like to see it. Sean Collier doesn't hand out any spoilers in his review of Avengers: End Game, comedian Jenny Zigrino is a history buff, and Los Vampiros Amarillos perform in the Coffeehouse.
The GodFather of Pittsburgh Sports relishes in the Capitals defeat at the hands of former Penguin Jordan Staal and Mr. Game Seven Justin Williams. Also, what is next for the Pittsburgh Steelers who officially begin life after Bell and Brown with tonight's 20th overall selection in the NFL Draft - and will they complete a package to trade up? It's not likely, but who will they end up taking?
Big Cat from Barstool Sports misses the good ole days when the NFL Draft was just on Saturday and Sunday, Gerry Dulac and Stan Savran don't envision the Steelers trading up to secure an ILB, rather playing it safe and taking a CB with tonight's 20th pick. Cole Tucker has been on cloud 9 since homering in his first plate appearance, today he closes out a four game series against his hometown team before flying across the country to face off against a life long friend.
The new Pirates sensation Cole Tucker has been applauded upon entering local restaurants after his two-run blast in his first MLB plate appearance. The rookie shortstop looks to keep the magic going in the series finale this afternoon against his hometown team the Arizona Diamondbacks, and before he hits the road to face off against his childhood friend Cody Bellinger of the LA Dodgers.
Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette doesn't see the Steelers taking a coveted ILB in tonight's First Round of the NFL Draft. The Steelers would likely have to package together a few third round picks and then some in order to move up high enough to secure one of the Devin's. What's more likely is the Steelers staying with their 20th overall position and taking a Corner.
Big Cat of Barstool Sports says PFT was way too cocky in predicting the Capitals would return to the Stanley Cup Final, and remembers the good ol' days when the NFL Draft was on a Saturday and a Sunday rather than stretched out over three nights. And Darren Rovell is going down!
The SuperGenius insists the Steelers must trade up if they want to make a significant addition to the defense by adding a valuable ILB threat. But, where should the Black and Gold turn if they can't get a Bush in the first round?
Jeff Konkle (Mr. Wednesday) is pumped for the new Avengers movie, but is not particularly pumped about finding crumbled up Long John Silver's bags in his wife's car. The SuperGenius completes 11 mock drafts and likes the Avalanche as an underdog in the Western Conference

It's one thing to lose in the playoffs, even in the first round, but to be swept??

Despite leading the Penguins in hits and playing all 82 games, Mike Sullivan opted to sit Johnson, but Josh doesn't see Johnson's absence as the culprit for the loss (let alone the shaky defense).
