  • Got political and lost me

    Paid for lifetime membership and after 6 years, I’m done. DK lost his mind and instead became a political commentator. Is that what we want?

    I’ll be looking for another “sports” site.

    Such a dope move by DK.

  • Very little knowledge

    Was looking for a decent Steelers podcast ahead of the playoff game.

    I have never heard a less educated podcast and it was obvious within seconds.

    The man had never heard of a single player on a defense with 5 all-pro level players. They also are unaware that Phillip Rivers didn’t play week 18 which was a national story given his retirement. I think it’s safe to assume there are better options out there.

    Matt Williamson is still a smart man though, I will just go directly to his podcast to... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DK’s Double Shot of Pirates: Hey, dad! Bullpen game!
Q: Okay. Well, how is it, I mean, just for you to see Mizorowski.
He explains his excitement about seeing Mizorowski in action, comparing live observation to what he's seen on TV, and notes the excitement around a young pitcher at the start of the season.
DK’s Double Shot of Pirates: Hey, dad! Bullpen game!
Q: What did you hear, Michael?
Michael describes his first impressions and enthusiasm for the Pirates and Clemente Day, along with his passion for learning the Pirates' history.
DK's Daily Shot of Steelers: Stuff I liked, too
Q: DK, I was disappointed as well about Jeremy Bernard not getting targets. I'm aware that Aaron Rodgers worked out a lot with Roman Wilson in the off season. Is that part of the problem?
The host suggests that while personal relationships and offseason work matter, the immediate on-field dynamics and role distribution will take priority in evaluating targets, and he defends sticking with capable receivers like Bernard and Metcalf while hoping for better usage and clarity in targets.
DK's Daily Shot of Penguins: Pay Sidney Crosby? How?
Q: Hey DK, do you think the main reason the Penguins have so many players battling it out for bottom six roles is that Kyle Dubas had deals in place or wanted to bring in some game-changing player and would have needed to fill empty spots?
The host suggests there are complex, league-wide pressures and strategic moves at play, with front-office decisions aiming to balance youth, payroll, and the desire for real top-line talent, while acknowledging we may not know every internal clue from Dubas or reporters.
DK's Daily Shot of Penguins: A rugged third pair?
Q: John up in Erie asks about Sidney Crosby's contract and his loyalty to the city.
The host explains that Crosby remains deeply loyal to Pittsburgh, acknowledging his long tenure and value to the team, while also noting the broader context of players negotiating within the salary-cap system and why athletes may explore fair value opportunities elsewhere. The discussion underscores Crosby's unique status and the franchise's ongoing salary considerations.
