  • 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 Daily Shot of Penguins: Rutger roars!
Q: Rutger McGroarty, Tristan Brose, Villa Koyvanen, Owen Pickering, they're young, but they just don't explode. Do you agree with that?
The host suggests that while the young players may not display explosive top-end speed in pure form, their execution, hockey sense, and ability to impact plays are shaping the team's identity and their potential to become impactful contributors as they continue to grow.
DK's Daily Shot of Pirates: Oh, Ryan O'Hearn!
Q: Jimmy, not asking for a prediction, when is the last time you can remember so many Pirates who could or should be All Stars in the same year?
The host discusses the likely All-Star selections, highlighting Skeens and Lau as probable picks, and notes the importance of star players to the show's production and audience expectations.
DK's Daily Shot of Steelers: Edge rushers assemble!
Q: Today's J1Q from Antonio Jackson asks whether the Steelers and Joey Porter are far apart in negotiations given the Herbig and Washington signings.
The host analyzes the market dynamics and cap space constraints, suggesting that while Porter will be signed, it will be done in a way that preserves flexibility and avoids forcing drastic cap concessions, and that negotiations may continue with a balance of guarantees and terms.
DK's Daily Shot of Steelers: Still the bottom line
Q: BK, what really has my curiosity running wild is how the secondary is lining up. Do you have any insight on that formation?
The host expresses excitement about the secondary and potential added pass rush time, signaling cautious optimism about how the defensive backfield will gel and how it will support the front seven this season.
DK’s Double Shot of Steelers: The big purse
Q: As promised, guys, this is my talk with Caleb Johnson. Johnson, tell me what kind of season you're looking forward to here. You have to prove something.
Caleb Johnson talks about improving explosiveness, contributing on special teams, and proving himself in multiple facets like kickoff returns and blocking, with confidence in his ability to adapt to the system.
