  • Diamondbacks and Rangers AND Pirates!(?)

    I wanted to like this podcast… But the discussion trying to link these three teams together was so stretched and thin. My favorite line was “there’s nothing stopping the Pirates from being as good as these teams”. Well, there is and it’s Bob Nutting. I think I’ll spend my time elsewhere outside this house of mirrors.

  • Mitch Better than Kenny?

    I’m sorry, just this take alone immediately disqualifies this pod as a trustworthy source of Steelers takes. The team was immediately better when Kenny came in for Mitch and that was with KP taking zero 1st team reps last year. If you’re looking for good content on Steelers look elsewhere

  • Hard to listen to, literally

    I love the Steelers and want to like this podcast, but it is weak. The host struggles to talk in a coherent manner, his interview skills are severely lacking and they play the intro music too much. The main issue, though, is that they can’t seem to get the sound levels right. Last episode, Chris Carter was barely audible, but Brian Batko was loud.

Steelers' MILES KILLEBREW explains injury recovery, pride in Payton Wilson & special teams unit
Q: What is it like to deal with the injury and having to stop playing?
It's jarring and requires mental gymnastics to keep spirits up.
Can Steelers, Mike Tomlin ESCAPE this skid like in the past? Need a split vs. Bills and Ravens?
Q: Did you look at this team at the beginning of the season and think a stretch like this was possible?
The schedule always changes, and predicting performance is difficult due to injuries and other variables.
Has Pitt football become less reliant on Desmond Reid? Defense ready for Haynes King?
Q: How much of a loss is Desmond Reid if he can't play?
The hosts believe that Pitt can still manage without him due to other players stepping up.
Will Pitt's ugly Notre Dame loss linger? Or can Mason Heintschel rally Panthers to ACC title?
Q: Is there any chance this game sticks to him at all?
Mason Heinschel is a freshman and this game provides a great learning experience for him; he is expected to bounce back against Georgia Tech.
Pitt-Notre Dame: SNEAK PEAK at College GameDay setup? Backyard Brawl in hoops preview?

Notre Dame has a strong running game, averaging 194.4 yards per game with some impressive running backs, making them a tough opponent.
