Chapter 1: What is the current mood in Pittsburgh sports?
Negativity sells, but positivity reigns right now in Pittsburgh. It really does. After years in the desert, we've stumbled upon an oasis here. And waiting for us with a nice cold cup of water is Paul Skeens and Connor Griffin and Evgeny Malkin and Igor Chinnikov and Ben Kindle. And who knows who on the Steelers? I'm not going overboard with them.
But again, if I would have told you, you know, eight months ago, Tomlin won't be here, at least you would have said, well, they got a chance to change then. At least change will be in the air. Tomlin did their job for them. He did Art's job for him.
Chapter 2: What are the latest developments with Drew Allar?
Art wanted to run it back, if you can believe that. To see if they could go 10-8 and get blown out again. At least it's different. But the other two, our other two pro sports teams at the moment, major pro sports teams, undeniably awash in hope at the moment. And with the Penguins, it's hope plus results.
Chapter 3: How are the Penguins performing this season?
They're winning. They're fun. They're undeniably good. 412-928-9370. Are you feeling this? Am I crazy? I think I'm just making a simple and obvious observation here. And it's pretty significant. Let's hit the phone lines.
Sean, don't call me Seth Meyers.
Chapter 4: What are the callers' thoughts on the Steelers' future?
It sounds like a plan. We will go out to Slipper Rock to talk to Nathan. What's up, Nathan?
Hi, Joe. How we doing, guys? Appreciate you taking my call.
Do they have any openings at Slippery Rock Country Club, Golf Club?
Chapter 5: What new word did Shelty introduce during the episode?
Do you belong there, and can you invite me to play?
I actually just graduated from Slippery Rock. I've played there twice. It was both drop-in both times. It's a very, very nice course. I really do enjoy playing there. I recommend you going up that way and giving it a try, Joe. It is a really nice, peaceful area up in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania.
Chapter 6: How does the conversation shift to the Pirates and their prospects?
Wait a second.
You can just drop in even if you're not a member?
Yeah, to my knowledge. I mean, I'm pretty sure the kid I was with when I played wasn't a member there either, and we played there. So, yeah, to my knowledge, yeah.
Holy ostrich milk. I'm going to try that one as soon as the weather gets nice.
Granted, I am a terrible, terrible golfer, but it is a nice time.
Who cares?
What do you got?

Chapter 7: What optimistic predictions are made for the Pirates this season?
So... maybe we're both crazy because I'm certainly a little optimistic as well. I think by no means I'm a much bigger Steeler guy. I'm just a football guy more so than I am a hockey. I just didn't really grow up in a hockey house. But I do definitely think that when the Penguins are playing well, there's a lot more buzz overall in the city. Our city loves the Penguins.
I think obviously with the draft coming too, you get a little more buzz. I'd like to talk a little bit of Steeler optimism. I think
Chapter 8: What insights does Ray Fittipaldo provide about the Steelers?
I think we're in a much better place, obviously, with Tomlin gone. McCarthy's an offensive-minded guy, so at least we're going to have change. Even if it's not for the better, we're going to either lose games 35-34 now instead of 3-0. So I'm happy in that perspective. I wish Limits was here today to hear this next part of my – I'm going to kind of swing this a little bit –
I think that by next week, there's going to be one quarterback that I think a lot of sports talk writers and guys like yourself are going to be talking about because he's going to have a big day tomorrow, and that's Drew Aller.
Oh, my God. You're probably right about that, by the way. I think he will have a big day tomorrow.
By no means do I think that he's going to launch his draft stock to maybe the third round. I just think Drew has a big arm. He made a lot of –
plays i mean not in not in huge moments at penn state great i'm a big penn state guy so obviously i'm a little biased but i don't know like he was in a very run heavy offense with i would is it fair to say mediocre receivers at penn state probably yeah um so i don't know like if you put him if you put him in a position where with an offensive minded guy with
Granted, we don't have the receiver talent that I wish we had. If we go and get a guy like Brian Thomas, like Tony says, and you have him sit maybe in a room with Will Howard.
No, I hear you. I hear you. I'm in such a mood that I'm even optimistic on Drew Aller, for God's sakes. Anything but what's been happening with the Steelers. That's where I'm at. And even if they stink, it'll be good. It'll be better than this. Something different is all I've wanted with the Steelers. Please, please something different. Different coach, different quarterback, different record.
10-8, 10-8, 10-8, 9-8. That's what they've gone four years with Omar Khan. Not that it's his fault necessarily. But he's complicit in some ways. Just anything different. Actually, now Omar sort of has way more freedom and impact to make. So give him a shot. I'm in a great mood today. Why not? Not the least of which is that Sheltie used the word incranculant again yesterday. This is unbelievable.
He's talking about Paul Skeens here. Sheltie, now the Twins manager. Pirates played the Twins yesterday. So everybody asking Sheltie about his pirate tenure, etc. And then all of a sudden, from out of nowhere, do we have this clip? This is real. This is not AI.
