HOUR 3 - Tomlin's best & worst quality, Calls, Debrief 27:57

2h ago27:57

27:57

James Harrison thinks the best and worst quality of Mike Tomlin is that he is too much of a player’s coach. Guys love playing for him, but sometimes that makes things too buddy-buddy and messy. Is it fair to ask Tomlin to change his stripes or reevaluate how he is? There were some damning words from Harrison on a few fronts even though he respects …

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark shared his excitement for the WWE super-show in town on Monday. The discussion turned to TJ Watt after that and if he will get more money than Myles Garrett.

HOUR 1 - Watt 'might' get more than Garrett, Watt's contract standoff, Sean Gentille 31:17

13m ago31:17

31:17

At least one NFL insider gets the sense TJ Watt will get more money than Myles Garrett. Is that good business by the Steelers? Chris said the idea of ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ doesn’t apply to the Cleveland Browns. It would be different if Watt helped win a lot of big games, but he has zero playoff wins in his career and he’s done very little i…

The Penguins have picks 11 and 12 in the opening round of the NHL Draft tonight and Sean isn’t sure if it’s in their best interest to move up. Sean said being in the first 9 picks would be ideal. He mentioned that it could turn into a crapshoot like it normally does. Sean noted that the …

HOUR 4 - Pirates thru 82 games, Ray Fittipaldo, TRT 30:25

7h ago30:25

30:25

At the halfway point of the season, the Pirates are 32-50. What has gone so wrong this season? Chris said the real story is about Bob Nutting, but not in the way you may expect. Chris went through a couple of notable owners in sports that showed a true identity. It seems like the GM is safe when he shouldn’t be. How many more times can we watch Ben…

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray reacted to the words from Aaron Rodgers the other day, stating that it will likely be his final season. Ray does think this all has a chance to work out, which could mean a respectable showing in the playoffs and maybe even a win. Ray doesn’t believe the Rodgers legacy hinges on what …

We kept the conversation going about Barry Bonds and the ‘steroid era’ of baseball.

MLB insider Bob Nightengale from USA Today joined the show. Bob was the first to indicate that the Cubs contacted the Pirates about Mitch Keller. Bob explained how much Keller could fetch in a trade, saying ‘people like a lot’ even though he’s not an ace of a staff. Bob thinks Keller would return a Top 5-10 prospect in another team’s system because…

Who needs a bigger season – Mike Tomlin or Aaron Rodgers? Chris thinks the viewpoints from local and national media will be much different if things don’t go well or it’s another season that ends in a first-round playoff exit. Tomlin has had so much control over the position since Ben Roethlisberger retired and it has not gone well. Chris got into …

The Pirates are 32-50 at the halfway point in what has been a disastrous season so far. A lot of it does come back on Bob Nutting, but what about Ben Cherington gives you confidence going forward? Why is he still here? The managerial change to Don Kelly gave the team a bit of a spark, but still didn’t turn it into a winning ballclub. Chris painted …

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason said Bob Nutting and Ben Cherington have been brothers in arms as 2025 goes crashing and burning. He doesn’t have a logical explanation for the thought process behind what is happening. Jason thinks it is in their best interest to move on from anyone on an expiring deal at the trade deadline.

Brewers beat the Pirates 4-2 to win the series in Milwaukee. Paul Skenes was beat up a bit in what looked like his worst outing of his career. The Pirates struck out a ton, again. Chris thinks this is a clear example of a team doing everything right and one that does a lot of stuff wrong. Once it was 4-0 that was it. Did Mullsy catch SportsNet Pitt…

The guys discu…

We may have witnessed the worst Paul Skenes of his career as the Brewers beat him up early en route to a 4-0 lead. The Pirates added a run, but it clearly looked like Skenes was off his game.

1d ago31:42

31:42

The Pirates are already down 4-0 in a Paul Skenes start and it has been accompanied by some ugly baseball. Mullsy said this game feels like a microcosm of how the two organizations are put together. Nick Gonzales had a horrendous attempt of a throw-home. The Brewers have several players that would be the Pirates best player. There has also been som…

Oneil Cruz was taken out of the game late last night due to lack of hustle. We applauded the move by Don Kelly, saying it’s something we would not have seen from Derek Shelton. It’s a good sign to show accountability. We talked about how it would have been pretty easy to sit Cruz again today due to his plate approach for the last month or so. Chris…
