  • 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.

What the Penguins can do about the Kris Letang problem
Q: Who do you think is the best partner for him?
The host weighs options like Slovio and Girard, discusses the potential for Salovyev to be replaced, and considers whether St. Ivany could return to strengthen the third pairing, all while keeping Carlson on the ice when his form is hot.
DK's Daily Shot of Steelers: Done on the D-line?
Q: Hey DK, could it be possible that the several picks the Steelers have in the first, second and third rounds and the off season pickups that they might be building for a future quarterback like Will Howard, Drew Aller, Carson Beck, or even looking ahead to the 2027 draft.
The host discusses surrounding the quarterback position in the long term by building depth in the draft and adding multiple options, highlighting the potential strategy of accumulating quarterback prospects without relying on a single high-draft pick, and considering later-round or supplementary picks to cultivate a quarterback room alongside an expected veteran starter.
DK's Daily Shot of Pirates: Believe in Braxton Ashcraft?
Q: DK, is Ashcraft really ready for a full season in the majors, or should he be managed in the minors first?
The host cites Ashcraft's spring performance and past usage as evidence that he is capable of contributing in the majors, while acknowledging innings limits and a strategic plan to maximize development.
DK’s Double Shot of Pirates: A week to go!
Q: How does Nick Gonzalez's spring performance impact roster decisions, particularly around Connor Griffin and Alika Williams?
Strong spring numbers from Gonzalez boost his case for regular playing time or a steady role, but defense at shortstop remains a key factor in deciding whether Griffin or Williams makes opening day or needs more development time.
DK’s Double Shot of Pirates: A week to go!
Q: What was it like for players to represent their country and how might that affect their performance back with the Pirates?
Players spoke about the emotional and competitive intensity of the WBC, noting the pride and learning experiences that could translate into leadership and added maturity for the Pirates this season.
