    Enjoy the daily shots but far too many shows built around the idea of “let’s read listener emails”.

  • DK- Best in the city

    This dude does not even remotely need my approval. DK is incredible at his job and is hands down the best sports analyst in Pittsburgh. It’s not even close. He explains things well and doesn’t put people down for asking questions unlike the self described“super genius” Keep up the great work sir.

  • These rumors about signing Aaron Rodgers are extremely disappointing and have moved me firmly into the fire Mike Tomlin camp. Worse than that, if they actually do sign this nutcase I will find another team to root for because the Steelers I loved for 50 years are nowhere to be found

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DK’s Double Shot of Steelers: Are they seeing?
Q: What does Terrell Austin think about the coaching responsibilities regarding these communication problems?
Terrell Austin expressed frustration about the communication breakdowns, indicating that they should have been addressed prior to the games and that it's the coaches' responsibility to ensure players are aligned in their understanding and execution.
DK’s Double Shot of Steelers: Are they seeing?
Q: What are the main issues that the Steelers defense is facing right now?
The main issues include real communication problems that have been exacerbated by the presence of many new players in the secondary, which results in a lack of chemistry and coordination during games.
DK's Daily Shot of Pirates: Good riddance
Q: Do you believe, DK, that the solution to this broken franchise is mainly to be found in the firing of Ben Charington, as many are urging, or does the problem extend deeper?
The solution does involve firing the GM, but the issues go deeper, including poor player development and coaching staff effectiveness.
DK's Daily Shot of Steelers: A 'historic' plunge
Q: Do you believe that there are some current positional coaches within the Steelers who are just simply not great teachers?
Kovacevic considers it possible but emphasizes that the focus should also be on the athletes and that everything contributes to the team's performance.
DK's Daily Shot of Penguins: Sid cites cap space?
Q: If Evgeny Malkin's play warrants it and he's willing to take one year deals at a reasonable price after this season, wouldn't the Penguins be crazy to not offer him new contracts?
Yes, they would be crazy not to, as long as he can still contribute effectively and isn't blocking the emergence of other top prospects.
