What are the New Year's resolutions for Pittsburgh sports teams in 2026?
Welcome back to Pump and Joe. Happy New Year to everybody. Talking about the year in Pittsburgh sports, but what about the year ahead? What about the year ahead, oh dear, Nelly? How about a resolution? I don't know. There's a difference between a resolution and a wish. Right? There's wishes that I have for every Pittsburgh sports team. And then there's resolutions that each should have.
How do resolutions differ from wishes in sports?
The Pirates need to be resolute in getting one more bat. They need a third baseman. That should be their resolution. Finish the job. That should be their theme. You know how people get certain themes to their New Year's resolution? You know, just do it if you want to show up at the gym, things like that. Little catchphrases that you can cling to while you're giving up on your resolution three weeks from now, and then you're not clinging to it anymore, are you, Charlie? Do you make New Year's resolutions? I haven't in a very long time, but I'm about to start again, and I'm going to go for it. What do you got? I'm not going to drink soda anymore. And I've done it before where I've quit cold turkey. Yeah.
I think the longest stretch I've ever went. Anything specific that you drink? Coke and Diet Coke? Wild cherry Pepsi. Oh my. Yeah.
What should the Pittsburgh Pirates focus on for 2026?
And Arnold Palmer. But like, if I have one Arnold Palmer a week, I'm cool. But lately I've been- stress drinking sweets. Yeah. And I need to stop it. Drinking your feelings, right? I'm drinking my, my fears. And your fears. Yeah.
What resolutions should the Pittsburgh Penguins adopt for their rebuild?
Well, that would be under the umbrella of feelings. I cannot live in our fears anymore. Don't live in your fears anymore. I think that's a good one. You're going to have to cope instead of reaching for the nearest substance to soothe yourself, aren't you? Water. Water's a great one. Drinking water right now. I need to fill mine up. I might need to quit these Cliffs energy bar, protein bars. A lot of times I bring Donnie one on Donnie Football Fridays. I'm hopelessly addicted to these things. They are so good. Have you eaten these before? I haven't had the Cliff ones. I have the Nature Valley. They're unbelievable, Charlie. They're flavored chocolate, peanut butter, and chocolate mint. And I can't stop. Now, I had to quit marshmallows.
What is the Pittsburgh Steelers' current coaching situation?
I was eating these Waldorf salads, my mom used to call them. She used to leave them for me when I'd come home from school. It was grapes, walnuts, marshmallows, and I added a little bit of chocolate. Well, the marshmallows send my intestines into spasms. I'm convinced of it. That's not good. Yeah. And it makes sense because they're very sticky. Imagine a bunch of marshmallows in your system right now. Run that salad back one more time. Grapes, marshmallows, walnuts is basically it. I add a little bit of chocolate. I understand the walnuts and the chocolate and the marshmallows. Mm-hmm. It's the grapes that pique my interest the most. I don't know. My mom used to leave them for us when we were kids. Used to leave a little bowl of Waldorf salads on the table, and they were good.
Is this named after Waldorf from Muppets fame? I don't know.
How can the Steelers improve their performance in 2026?
Maybe the Waldorf Historia Hotel in New York. I don't know. But they were good, and after she passed in September... I decided that as a tribute, that would be a good little snack. But like I said, the marshmallows sent my intestines. You could you could put your if you if I put my hand on my stomach. I could feel spasming. It was unbelievable. I've had that from time to time. You should probably get that looked at. Well, no. I just had to quit eating marshmallows and putting a sticky gob of stuff into my intestines. That's all. It seemed pretty clear what the problem was because when I stopped, everything went fine. Or it could be an ingredient in the marshmallows that you could be allergic to that are in other things.
Either way, I had to get rid of the marshmallows. So you can't no more graham cracker. Could you have like marshmallow flavor? I think I, I think I could every once in a while splurge for, what do you call those things with the. S'mores, like the graham cracker.
What are the implications of coaching changes for the Steelers?
Yeah. S'mores. Yep. The graham cracker, the chocolate and the marshmallow.
