    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

  • To answer your question NO!

    I’ve been beyond a Steeler fan for 50 years.. Steeler love is deep.. but no way.. I just went through one season with a fraud fake Wilson and now we are close to signing a way bigger malignant narcissist. No way can I swallow this

  • It’s sad

    I did think that Mark was smart and of course he is but not saying to his audience that Trump is too far gone was a reason to not listen. It’s his way I guess of responding to all the ugly hate that Mark got. But now we all see Trump was lying that project 2025 is a white supremscist plan that is all he cares about. Still nothing? Sports most likely will not even matter next season. Life will not be what we are used to. He should show regret.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HR 2 - Kevin Colbert Talking Draft, Mike Decourcey Joins the Show
Q: Who has final say on draft picks for the Steelers?
Colbert explains that the final say has traditionally depended on a collaborative, unanimous process among ownership, the head coach, and the GM, with the front office increasingly taking a lead role, especially under Omar Khan's oversight.
HR 2 - Kevin Colbert Talking Draft, Mike Decourcey Joins the Show
Q: What is it like watching the draft from a distance with no pressure?
Colbert describes the experience as due to the outside environment being different and the internal process remaining focused; the external drama is entertaining for fans, but personnel decisions still hinge on a careful, consensus-driven evaluation.
HR 1 - Phil Bourque Talking Game 2, Will Howard
Q: If you could fix anything the Penguins did wrong in game one, what would you change?
Avoid turnovers, increase physical and emotional investment, and come out with a stronger start to establish control early in game two.
HR 2 - Draft, Penguins, Mike DeCourcey
Q: Were the Steelers embarrassed by not being able to get Lemon last night when Philadelphia gazumped them?
Yes, there's a sense of embarrassment about letting Lemon slip away, helped by the Eagles' aggressive maneuvering, and there's concern that the Steelers misread the board and overvalued other options, which could affect their perceived competence and future strategy.
HR 1- Josh Yohe Talking Pens, Bucco Roundup
Q: What has been the most significant issue for the Penguins in this series?
The inability to score five-on-five and sustain offensive pressure, despite having had strong five-on-five play during the season, is the core issue limiting their success.
