Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

One of the most important positions on the field is where Broderick Jones will play in 2025. Do you trust the former 1st round pick to make the jump in what could be a career-altering season for him? What happens if Jones is bad again this year? There’s an argument to be made that Jones is the most important player in their offense. We revisited the decision last season when the team went with Dan Moore over Jones. Would you rather see Jones have a big year or a big year for Aaron Rodgers?…

BREAKING: The Steelers have signed Chuck Clark. The former Ravens safety likely won’t move the needle much, if at all. One of Clark’s notable games came against the Steelers in that COVID season when the game was played on a Wednesday afternoon. Clark said he was ready to move on from Baltimore, which is always a way to get in good standing with Steelers fans. We reminisced about the Steelers wasting a pick on a long snapper in the 2017 draft.…
Do the Steelers have a WR2 problem? It feels like the situation they had themselves in last season. The team seems overconfident that Calvin Austin can fill that void. What about Roman Wilson after just a handful of snaps last season? Robert Woods doesn’t seem to be the man for the job either. Unless they use a deadly multi-TE set, they are running into a familiar issue.…

Mark said they, mostly, accomplished everything they wanted to do. Mark gave his reaction to the TJ Watt signing and how the Steelers avoided 4-5 guaranteed years. Mark looked at this deal versus the one Myles Garrett received from the Browns. Mark thinks the Steelers can get ahead of things this season with Watt, even though he doesn’t think a holdout would have impacted Watt’s production. Mark said moving Watt around on defense will be a key to furthering his longevity. More w/ Mark – Mark believes the TJ Watt ankle injury was worse than what we were hearing late in the season, which impacted him heavily down the stretch. The conversation again went to Watt moving around the defense and how that could lead to a big 2025. Mark doesn’t care for the narrative that Watt isn’t healthy enough because he’s only missed significant time in one season.

We’ve known that the team would have a limited amount of time with Paul Skenes and so far, they have wasted it. Their plan was to bring in guys they could easily flip at the deadline, almost like they knew they would be bad. Names like Adam Frazier and Tommy Pham were the biggest offseason acquisitions.

The Pirates have traded Adam Frazier to kickstart the trade deadline moves. They are sending Frazier back to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Cam Devanney, who is 28 and has yet to make his MLB debut despite good power numbers in AAA this season. They got something for Frazier and that’s probably better than what we could have expected. Has the outline for this team ever looked worse? We looked at some comparisons between this team and the 2010 Pirates, a squad that lost 105 games. Who are the other players that will be on the move? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Poni questioned Jeff for saying the Pirates should make Oneil Cruz the highest-paid player in their history. Jeff said it’s all about Paul Skenes and the finite amount of time they have to win with him here. Jeff said he’s willing to bet on the potential of Cruz and that’s why he’d give him $22M/year. Jeff pleaded that at some point the Pirates need to take a chance. Would the Pirates go out in free agency and sign a player like Cruz while they still have Skenes? Judge Donny.…

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike says that the fact that Watt’s contract is so expensive, it makes sense for him to hold out. He also says that TJ’s holdout is far more likely this year than it was in 2021. He says the door to a potential TJ Watt trade is “at least cracked”. The Steelers need to know when they can escape a bad deal in a potential contract with Watt. Mike says he’d be stunned if the Steelers end up tied to Watt for three years. Mike thinks Micah Parsons should want TJ Watt to sign his deal first. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi believes that a hold-in is more likely than a holdout for TJ Watt and the Steelers. The Pirates are failing Paul Skenes similarly to how the Bengals defense is failing Joe Burrow and the rest of the offense. Cam Heyward was vocal and said that the players want TJ Watt to remain a Steeler. Aditi thinks that the Steelers front office is disrespecting TJ Watt.

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 play for the whole thing. 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.

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 instead of the structure of the full deal. If a trade were to take place, what does Mike think that could look like? Mike thinks, at minimum, the deal would require a 1st round pick back to the Steelers. Mike wondered how things would look if Watt was a lifetime Brown and Myles Garrett was a lifetime Steeler. Mike indicated that he would rank Ben Roethlisberger #1 on a list of best Steelers since 2000.…

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?

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. Is there a more popular Steeler all-time? 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 reiterated that Ben Cherington will take a pretty big swing at the deadline. Does Greg believe the Pirates are ‘close’ to being a playoff team? The guys asked Greg about Paul Skenes getting pulled after 5 innings the other day and if he was on-board with it.…

Oneil Cruz dazzled in the HR Derby last night, including a homer that went 513 feet. Poni is in semi-freak-out mode that people are overreacting to what Cruz did in an exhibition/glorified batting practice. He claimed he enjoyed watching Cruz put on a show even though he didn’t want him to do well. Poni attacked Jeff Hathhorn for suggesting the Pirates should sign Cruz long-term after last night. The guys revisited a thought yesterday – what if Cruz has a 30 HR, 50 SB season despite otherwise lackluster numbers? The conversation turned to Bryan Reynolds and the disappointing season he is putting together. Is the idea of Oneil Cruz being the highest-paid Pirates player ever as ridiculous as it sounds? One caller suggested that teams around baseball didn’t know Cruz before last night. HOCKEY TALK! Do the rumors of Mario Lemieux and co. rebuying the Penguins still have a pulse?…

He said his amusement park days are over. What could the big hold ups be in the TJ Watt contract discussions? It appeared like Mark changed the tune a bit on Watt and doesn’t rule out the team trading him for a 2nd round pick. Does Kaboly know something about Watt that he’s not telling us? More w/ Mark – We got Mark’s reaction to Patrick Rooney bashing the idea of the Steelers signing TJ Watt and the rest of his rant on a Florida betting podcast.

There also may be a report out there that Ben Cherington has a deal signed through 2028, which would be horrible.

Bob said it’s a shame that Paul Skenes has a losing record and wondered if he can be the first Cy Young winner to pull it off.
