Jason, you have been on the new gig for a while.  What is one thing about the old job that you miss more than you thought and what is one thing about the new job that you like more than you anticipated?  Thanks for the chats!
Jason Mackey

I miss the travel. It provides different access and an easier way to do the job. That's an easy one. Something I like more ... I'd probably say the variation and ability to bounce around to so many different places.

Didn't MLB say the extra inning ghost runners was a COVID thing?  Why does it still exist?  I never understood putting a man on second base when he didn't earn it.
Jason Mackey

They kept it going (obvs) as a way to shorten games and preserve guys over 162. Don't love it either, especially with the pitch clock, but just trying to answer the question.

Hey Jason, with San Fran giving Jennings a new contract, do you think that enhances the Steelers’ chances of trading for Aiyuk?
Jason Mackey
1:16
Maybe a little bit. But I still think his contract in particular would be a lot to assume -- meaning I don't think it's necessarily defined by Jauan Jennings' new contract.
How soon
1:17
So since MLB is updated its stats how soon before the NFL includes the USFL, WFL, Arena league, AAFC stats, the NHL includes the WHL and NBA includes the ABA ?
Jason Mackey

Another where you know I don't have the answer but just wanna make a point. I get it. There are strong opinions on both sides of this.

Last year, Mason Cole disrupted offensive rhythm with his awful shotgun snaps. Did you see Frazier attempt any at recent OTA’s?
Jason Mackey
1:17
Have not seen any issues with Frazier's shotgun snaps in OTAs. It's also OTAs.

You mentioned Seinfeld in an early discussion on this chat.  What if you got a "Costanza" offer to cover the Mets or Yankees?  Do we lose you? (Not wanting you to go, by the way....)
Jason Mackey
1:18
Ha. What's the Costanza offer? Assistant to the traveling secretary? No, I have no desire to leave Pittsburgh -- and don't plan on it. I'm from here and love it here.

OK, folks. That does it for me this week. Have a story to report & another column to write. Thanks so much for doing this. Hope you have a great weekend and talk to you next week.
