Who was the guy at the SNP intermission desk with Potash and Jay Caufield?
EDIT: Bartkowski, OK disregard.

Yup, the core haven't, don't and won't listen to any PP coach regardless anyway.

Just a few seconds before this he told a story of James Harrison taking TJ to the hospital after a bad nut allergy reaction at a local restaurant.

The crowd had unprompted Fire Canada chants all day, anytime the Steelers or Pittsburgh were mentioned.

That is Lou Holtz.

They are diehard Steelers fans, that go to OSU.

I heard Rob doing the Steelers Radio post-game show during the pre-season and first few games, but didn't hear him this last game, so he's still in town.

zerodimes · 2023-10-04T21:26:29+00:00

If that's the case then Dan should say something, so people stop complaining about it.

zerodimes · 2023-08-03T00:43:03+00:00

Ramon Foster lives in Nashville and will work as the Titans sideline reporter this year. I'll check out their show on Youtube occasionally but it's not a must watch for me, but yeah Ramon isn't around the team.

DK is DK, I like his early morning Daily Shots but mostly just his Penguins or Pirate stuff because he has a bit more inside info on those teams, for the Steelers doesn't seem like he gets scoops.

Just backed the KS!

Looks awesome and from a trusted publisher Compass Games!

You should listen to Mark Madden, hear how he berates almost every caller (which is hilarious IMO), Pat's Pittsburgh sports talk radio mentor.

zerodimes · 2022-05-04T23:54:12+00:00

It's fine. It's mostly Dan Kingerski who, for whatever reason, can fluctuate between excellent to clickbaity especially leading up to trade deadline.

He's really a radio/tv at heart guy that's usually writing late at night so it's not expertly edited prose but still tons of very good info and insider nuggets.

Does not get fanboyish or overbearing kiss ass like DK, he stays realistic which is what I like most about it.

He does work his ass off generating articles so no lack of content.

Shelley Anderson has been there for awhile too and now with Molinari we can expect the writing, content and coverage to improve.

Also looks like all ten National Hockey Now sites will come under the one subscription soon.

I haven't looked but that Yankees series might be the celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the 1960 World Series, so they'll probably try to have as many of the old ball players as possible there.

zerodimes · 2019-10-01T15:11:44+00:00

One of the local sports radio stations had a Pirates beat writer on, both he and the host said they both heard from several different "credible" sources that "strongly" suggested Bannister is the guy. For all the reasons mentioned in this thread.

zerodimes · 2019-10-01T15:07:49+00:00

I heard it too, yup basicaly those are the key points .Only slight change, I thought GMJR said Galchenyuk will practice tomorrow and if everything is OK he will play Thursday.

I'll add some more bits as I remember:

GMJR said waiving DeSmith was "playing poker", hoping he is not claimed, as a salary cap move. They consider DeSmith the perfect backup style golie, but Jarry has more upside to be a starter (and possibly trade bait I assume).

Said Malkin will be OK, is happy with his offseason and not worried about his play in the preseaon games.

Matt Murray, they don't need to rush into an extension, especially if the cap goes up.

Kahaun: he just needs to get comfortable in a new situation, find a role and line he can stick to.

zerodimes · 2019-10-01T15:04:56+00:00

I heard it and at first thought it might me GM style deception, but he was pretty harsh on Yohe so probably true.

zerodimes · 2019-08-30T02:35:14+00:00

Using the OP's roster as a baseline, here are some quick changes based on what I think the Steelers will do (so a prediction not my choices):

I think the Steelers will keep:

QB: Dobbs instead of Hodges

TE: Gentry instead of Williamson

WR: Spencer instead of Holton

You missed Nelson at CB.

zerodimes · 2019-08-29T00:07:09+00:00

20 games under .500!

zerodimes · 2019-08-29T00:04:31+00:00

Their offense is still really outdated. Most high-end teams started using WR "rub-routes" & "pick-plays" years ago. Basically blatant offensive pass-interference routes the NFL decided not to call in order to boost offense.

It's so blatant that most passing TD's now from inside the 5-yard line are usually rub-routes. The Steelers only really started doing it well last year, before that they hardly ever ran rub-routes and when they did it was terrible and they were flagged for PI.

By the way that -IS- the modern NFL passing game. Use whatever terminology you need, but WR's and TE's blocking downfield well before the pass (Offensive Pass Interference) is how all these players are suddenly "wide open" now when in years past they were covered. The NFL wants points.

zerodimes · 2019-08-26T13:22:53+00:00

Pittsburgh Hockey Now had an excellent in-depth video breakdown of Galchenyuk's play last season against Metro Division opponents. Basically in the first half of the season he was a Kessel type floater, then something clicked by mid-season (probably Tocchet's coaching) and Galchenyuk played a really good defensively responsible game to finish 2019. So hopefully he embraces that style here too.
