  • Replaying other talent’s interviews

    Reusing the Tim Benz podcast “ Madden Mondays” as a Benz appearance is sad. Benz interviews Mark on this podcast - Tim steers the discussion - its a prerecorded bit - yet most probably dont know this and think it’s a live interview. Mark’s agent is the super genius.

  • Good and bad.

    The Good - Madden doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him, which comes in handy when he rips apart Pittsburgh fans who can be a bit dim. He also does a great job at interviewing, and he gets some fantastic guests. He can be hilarious, especially when he’s hanging up on callers who don’t agree with him. He also knows hockey better than anyone in the local sports talk scene, and he’s well connected in the NHL world.

    The Bad - He’s old, cranky and arrogant. You can hear the flem in his throa... more

    There’s more to people than that? No not with what is happening now. It’s truly time. You hate your job you said nothing about the election with a huge population listening. No there’s not more to people than that. You are like

    Lebron . People thought he was going to be a social awareness leader but is too lazy and not very smart. That is sadly what Madden is. I moved to really like this guy until he wouldn’t talk logically when his country needed him to. It’s time for us all to stop listening t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HR 2 - Alan Saunders Talking Steelers, John O'Hara of the Pittsburgh Spirit
Q: What's the key to playing defense indoors in a hockey rink with the boards?
O'Hara says defenders need to sense danger, close down time and space, and adjust to fast play and unusual rebounds off the walls.
HR 2 - Alan Saunders Talking Steelers, John O'Hara of the Pittsburgh Spirit
Q: How would you describe indoor soccer to those who never saw it?
John O'Hara describes it as fast, skillful and unpredictable, with the close-up excitement of hockey and a highly entertaining pace.
Pregame Show - Jonathan Bombulie Talking Hockey, Steelers v Colts
Q: Now, Morozov is in net tonight. Can he be as great as we hope and as they need him to be in the long run?
Jonathan Bombulie says Morozov has looked athletic and impressive, and sees him as a 1A goaltender. He also notes that the Penguins' turnovers have made life difficult for their goalies and favors giving Morozov more playing time.
Pregame Show - Jonathan Bombulie Talking Hockey, Steelers v Colts
Q: What's wrong with Sid?
Jonathan Bombulie says a shortened training camp may have disrupted Sidney Crosby's routine, but he thinks the slump is more likely part of the Penguins' broader discomfort with their system and playing together. He expects the team's decision-making to improve as the season progresses.
HR 1 - Tim Benz Talking Steelers, Jalen Ramsey's Disconnect
Q: Where is this team if they lose on Sunday? And how are they going to win or lose?
Benz says the Steelers are teetering and need to execute better and win several upcoming games. He points to the pass rush and the inside linebackers as important factors against Indianapolis.
