I love it but it doesn’t seem possible. He makes $7 million which is tough given the Pens cap situation. And he is playing lights out right now for Vegas so I don’t think they want to trade him

Any rumors for Adam Frazier takers yet?
Zeise
1:06
No but I will be shocked if he is on the roster by the end of sprint training. They definitely want to move him for a variety of reasons
The Dude

With the Dolphins projected to take Harris, is it worth moving up a few spots or sit and wait for Etienne?
Zeise
1:07
I would never trade up for a running back. There is good running back value through the first two and even three rounds
Donna

Hi Paul...any idea of how this current quarterback draft class compares to the projected class next year?
Zeise
1:07
This class is deeper as there are a lot of quarterbacks out there to be drafted
Jimmy
1:07
Do you think a rebuilt o line, a good running back, MR at quarterback, and the current defense with some tweets is a winning combination?
Zeise
1:08
Yes I would bet that is a playoff team
The Gunner

My hope was that in dealing Bell the Pirates were hoping for Craig to soon fill that spot. Any indication that might happen in the foreseeable future?
Zeise
1:09
Will Craig has not developed like they hoped. He has a spot in spring training but he needs a I seize it because he is running out of chances

Coaching an NFL team seems like a very demanding life. Any sense that MT might be tiring of the life ?
Zeise
1:10
None at all. Tomlin is a football coach, he is all about being a football coach. I would be surprised if he retires young and goes to do TV

What’s your take on MLB’s to recognize the Negro Leagues as one of their own and merge the stats? If that happens Josh Gibson’s .441 in 1943 may become the all time best for a season!
Zeise
1:10
I think it is tremendous and long overdue

TJ McConnell is excelling with the Indy Pacers and I see his kid sister is  now at Duquesne. Bitter moment for Dukes fans when he transferred to Arizona. What happened there?
Zeise
1:12
He wanted to play at a higher level and have a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament and knew he would never make it there at Duquesne
Questions ?
1:12
Would you call Xavier Johnson the most disappointing Pitt player in the last 10 or 20 years ? He seems very unfocused, immature and selfish
Zeise
1:13
That’s harsh there have been others who disappointed but he needs to mature still and really needs to become a better team player. He has made progress but he has a ways to go

Why didn’t Houston let Watt work something out with another team, then trade him so that they at least got something in return?
Zeise
1:14
Because they are a horrible organization run by people who have no clue how to run a football team
Mercury
1:14
Trade Tuitt for something you really need like a good offensive tackle, then sign JJ. How fun would it be to have the Watts rushing together from the left side?
Zeise
1:15
I don’t care about Heart warming stories. I want the Steelers to do what is best for the Steelers
Disappointed Alum
1:15
So Paul you went to a small school. Hypothetical for you. Would you rather your alumni have a winning, championship program with a coach who is a sketchy character who maybe bends the rules or a losing or mediocre program that has a coach that does everything by the book and is of good character ?
Zeise
1:17
In light of the slap on the wrists the major programs have all gotten for the adidas and FBI scandal, major academic scandals, other cheating scandals - the NCAA clearly doesn’t want to punish teams. So there is no question if I was a coach that got a major Division I basketball job, I would cheat my ass off and not think twice about it. I’d have bag men to pay off the bag men. Why not? The NCAA clearly do what care why should I?

This is the third late season collapse in a row for the Panthers. Does Capel need to be blamed for these meltdowns or is it on the shoulders of Toney Johnson and Champagnie? I believe Pitt does not need to worry about Capel replacing the retiring Krzyzewski at Duke anytime soon.
Zeise
1:18
He definitely needs to finish the season stronger next year or there will be some questions to answer

ben is the all time drama queen, don't you think the sieelers should just move on, he'll carry this so called drama out as long as he can, do you agree paul?
Zeise
1:19
I think they should put a deadline on it, definitely but they can give him a few extra days to think this through

Hello Paul.  If Coach Tomlin told Banner that he is the starting left tackle, can that be an indication that the Steelers will effort to sign Feiler and play him at right tackle?   Thank you Paul.   P.S,  Carson Wentz has just been traded to the Colts.
Zeise
1:20
No I think Chuks Okprafor will be the starting right tackle
Curious George

Hey Paul, I’ve heard Miami is interested in Najee Harris.  If he is still available at Miami’s pick at #18, do the Steelers trade up to get him?   Thanks Paul.
Zeise
1:20
No they aren’t trading up to get a running back. They just aren’t and they shouldn’t
Mercury

What are the plans for minor league baseball this season and what effect do you think not having minor league ball last year will have on major league teams this year?
Zeise
1:21
I think there are full seasons in AAA, AA and A. Losing that whole season is devastating
Church Lady

Does Amanda realize "In heaven there is no beer, that's why we drink it here"?
Zeise
1:22
Amanda, you have become a folk hero!

Is Capel the Pitt Hoop coach in three years?...thanks
Zeise
1:24
Great question. For Pitt’s sake I hope so!

Ben has stated that it's gotten harder for him without familiar faces with him on his journey. How is it gonna help him to do another season with even fewer of his old pals around? What if Ben comes back and just doesn't have the will with a young team?
