His speed is something else and I’m am amazed how many plays he makes just by getting to pucks. He is probably in the right place though. I don’t know who you replace to move him up

The Penguins look like a playoff bubble team to me this season. Either just making the No. 4 seed or barely missing. Will the new GMs be able to do anything to give them better odds of making it, or do these guys just have to play better?
Zeise
12:48
It is hard to imagine they have the cap room and pieces to make any bold moves at the deadline. They don’t have much in the way of assets to make a big move

Paul, I believe the Pirates could set a record for   fewest runs scored in a season this year.  Which nickname do you like better, The Slumber Company, or No Punch Just Judy?
Zeise
12:49
I fear you may be right and I love the Slumber Company!
Chris

You should offer to take Amanda and her husband out for pizza, you and Rich. Maybe then she wouldn't be so annoying.
Zeise
12:49
Only if it is at a place like Monte Cellos or Bados where they serve cocktails too!!

Who do you think is the best football player to ever come out of SW PA? I go with Montana with Dorsett a close second.
Zeise
12:51
I’ll go outside the box - how about Aaron Donald. He is gonna be in that discussion

Paulie, will any of Pittsburgh's famed sports journalists get the real scoop on my departure?  You got any leading theories yourself?  Was my issue with Morehouse or the Big Guy?
Zeise
12:55
This will be interesting because you know it will come out. The best part of the story is that the guys in town who are experts on the Pens had completely different stories as to why it happened. That tells me nobody really knows. But Jim Rutherford will eventually talk and we will find out the story
12:56
He thinks through better scouting and drafting infomatics and analytics and “insert cool sounding trending baseball word of the year” he can. But he can’t. He needs to spend more money to have a chance

Paul, the biggest impediments to success this year seem to be a willingness to stick to basics, defend, block shots, make the simple playa, not over pass, and shoot the puck on the net while screening in front. Basic hockey. And yet, with a two time stanley cup winning coach, the pens can't (won't) do that, seemingly led by Letang and Malkin in this out of mind set. Can the team win with them still here and can it tune in the coach to make these basic and winning plays?
Zeise
12:58
That’s a great question. This team wants to play like it is 2016 but it isn’t. And I think as long as the trio of stars is still who the team is built on they aren’t likely to do something different any time soon

Paulie, you seem to like golf, so me and my former BFF Brooks are in a cage match.  Who is coming out alive (and with all the women)?
Zeise
12:59
Brooks is a beast, he is beating anyone on tour in a cage match!
He has a very good contract for three years so I can’t imagine he would be in danger until after next season at the earliest

Thoughts on Cherington's direction and prospect returns so far in the blowup? I myself think its the only logical route to take. Couldnt complain so far.
Zeise
1:00
I agree Frank. I can’t criticize what Cherrington has done. Blowing it up and starting over is the way to go
Bunny Lebowski
1:01
Any word on Devin Bush's recovery?  We've heard crickets since he injured his knee.
Zeise
1:01
I am sure he is on track and recovering fine. The Steelers doctors and training staff are excellent so he is in good hands
Tom G
1:02
Assuming the Steelers do not resign Shuster and Conner,where do you see them ending up?
Zeise
1:02
JuJu Smith-Schuster will end up in a big market like New York, Los Angeles or a place that’s high profile like Las Vegas. Conner, to whoever offers him a contract
Ideas Man
1:03
Do you think Pitt has a chance at all at the tournament ?
Zeise
1:03
No as I wrote before it is gonna be tough because the ACC is weak and there aren’t a ton of wins out there for them to bolster their resume
Who Dat ?
1:04
Better at tackling ? The Steelers secondary or that Mom in Texas who tackled the peeper ?
Zeise
1:04
That Texas mom
1:05
She squared that guy up and decleated him!
The Eman
1:05
Good call on Donald!
Zeise
1:05
He is gonna be in that conversation when he is done

paul, is this truly pitts best chance to win 10 games with the qb coming back and some high recruits coming in? i think if the "O" line is strong they could have a big year, if not, narduzzi time is up at pitt ?
Zeise
1:07
Look with their schedule, what they have coming back, how weak the Coastal Division is - they BETTER win  a lot of games
David
1:07
Paul if Pitt has another mediocre season like 6-6 or worse will Narduzzi be out or will he be coaching for his job in 2022?
Zeise
1:08
It would be a hard conversation to have but at that point Heather Lyke and company might have to make a difficult decision

Paul....seems to me a head football coach is much more like a baseball manager as opposed to the other two major sports. They can't possibly be "coaching" 53 guys.....shouldn't football coaches...like soccer and rugby guys, called "managers?"
Zeise
1:09
I mean, when you put it that way

I hear ads on your show for golf courses open. It drives me crazy to see the ever present snow. Please tell them to take a break?
Zeise
1:10
Golf courses are open all winter long. Small print (weather permitting) I love it, I’ve been out a few times recently
