  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steelers NFL draft reaction: ANDREW BRANDT on Omar Khan's Makai Lemon flub, Aaron Rodgers' future
Q: From your experience, what did you make of the Steelers' process during that draft weekend?
The draft is chaotic and fast, with lots of moving parts, and sometimes teams' internal decisions collide with external moves, leading to outcomes that look dramatic but are part of a longer strategic play.
Penguins playoffs: Who has the edge in first-round matchup vs. Flyers? Will SIDNEY CROSBY dominate?
Q: Which team has the edge going into the series and why?
The Penguins are favored due to their overall structure and Crosby's history of elevating performance in key moments, though the Flyers could swing it if special teams and goaltending perform exceptionally well.
Penguins playoffs: Who has the edge in first-round matchup vs. Flyers? Will SIDNEY CROSBY dominate?
Q: How does Crosby affect the Flyers' game plan, and is there a credible way to slow him down?
Crosby's sustained dominance over the Flyers is a major concern; there isn't a clear matchup plan that can fully neutralize him, making Crosby a central focus of the Penguins' offense and a key barometer for the series.
Penguins playoffs: Who has the edge in first-round matchup vs. Flyers? Will SIDNEY CROSBY dominate?
Q: What makes this rivalry feel different this year compared to past matchups?
The guest highlights a return of intense, but respectful, hate that has rekindled the rivalry, driven by recent on-ice incidents and the overall stakes of a playoff series.
Steelers WON'T sign vet QB starter if Aaron Rodgers bails? Good news for Will Howard?
Q: If Rodgers isn't the answer, what are the Steelers likely to do with the quarterback position?
The team would likely sign a veteran quarterback as a bridge while continuing to develop Will Howard, with an emphasis on his footwork and pocket presence, as McCarthy and the Steelers staff publicly praise his potential.
