    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.

Pregame Show - Mike Decourcey
Q: What's the biggest story right now in March Madness?
Decourcey responds by highlighting the collapse of Cinderella narratives as mid-majors struggle to compete with high-major programs due to NIL and the transfer portal, while Iowa's rise with Bennet Sturtz and Ben McCollum is noted as a nuanced case of shifting power dynamics.
HR 1 - Bob Walk
Q: What's the biggest factor for the Pirates to improve this season?
Walk emphasizes increasing runs scoring and allowing Skeens to pitch deeper into games as key pillars for more wins, along with stabilizing the offense around Reynolds and the young core.
HR 1 - Bob Walk
Q: How do you think Mike Tomlin will fare in a TV studio setting compared to coaching?
Walk suggests he could do well in a studio role, given his presence and NFL knowledge, but cautions that he may still be perceived through the lens of his coaching career.
HR 2 - Paul Zeise and Jonathan Bombulie
Q: What are your thoughts on the current state of college basketball and NIL's impact on mid-majors?
NIL and the ability to pay players are reshaping the tournament landscape, with power conferences drawing away top mid-major talent, lessening their edge.
HR 2 - Paul Zeise and Jonathan Bombulie
Q: Which positions should the Steelers target in the draft given a 42-year-old quarterback in play?
Left tackle is the top need, followed by receiver and then another corner; drafting or signing players for immediate impact is crucial.
