OK it is crazy world we live in right now so let’s chat about it

Paul: does Capel sign the kid from Erie McDowell??
Zeise
12:06
It would be a great thing if he does. And it sounds like he is one of the coaches on the short list. It is pretty clear the Panthers could use some players!!

There has been noise about Dez coming.  Living in Dallas, and having to go through all the stories, AB like: stiff a jeweler who made customer jewelry for him ($100K+), police being called to his house, and a long list of other off the field events.  And of course, there were the sideline rants when he wasn't getting the ball enough. You could put together a highlight film of AB and Dez acting like a childish bad team mate during games and it would last 20 mins or more.  I know you guys in the press are saying no, and I wish the Steerler Nation would back off this one.  He would be a bad addition.  Do you agree? And he's been out of the league for 2 years, that should tell us all we need to know....

I’m not a fan of the Steelers signing any Dez Bryant/AB type player. This team needs to keep team chemistry good, spirits high and don’t need another diva

Hi Paul. You are my number one sports reporter. Why, because you not afraid to tell the truth. I have one statement. It might be the best thing this year that happens to the pirates if this serious virus would cancel the baseball season. Thank You.
Zeise

No it isn’t a good thing. The one thing people are not thinking about is this — all of these teams and leagues have a lot of people grinding out a living and working to feed their families. Bad attendance doesn’t help any of the businesses on the North Shore and doesn’t bring people to town.

Paul, why can’t Pitt players get any open looks? Coaching?
Zeise
12:14
I think it is a product of having too many players who need the ball to be successful. There isn’t a player on that team, well a player of consequence, who is looking to make everyone around him better

God bless the decision makers in MT. Lebanon......it's a game..  Would hate to see a spread of the virus to Allegheny County...
Zeise

True. Better safe than sorry

If Pirate games are cancelled you think Bob Nutting  will compensate employees or players or is he so evil that he just pockets the money ?
Zeise
12:16
I would hope that every owner follows the lead of Mark Cuban and tries to help out the employees that are gonna lose a lot of days of work. It is the right thing to do

Who wins more games ? Pirates or Riverhounds ?
Zeise
12:17
It could be a tie - both seasons could be cancelled!

Paul did you wash your hands before you started the chat today ?
Zeise
12:17
My hands are so chapped from washing and sanitizer I can’t even enjoy typing for this chat!!

What say you about the Penguins now?
Zeise
12:18
There hasn’t been an official announcement but I assume it will be off

Hi Paul. The Steeler organization seems to make decisions on signing and releasing players just to keep them competitive in the league. Don't get me wrong that's good and it gives them a winning season or maybe the playoffs but it doesn't get them to the super bowl. I would rather have them run the team more like a business then like a family. I know you will let me have it for this comment but your thoughts. Thank you.
Zeise

We have to have more questions!!!
12:24
I disagree with that, they have proven they will pay for performance. They will pay stars. And they are willing to add players when they need to. They are always knocking on the door and that’s all you can ask as a fan.

Are you upset that the St Patricks Day parade was cancelled ?
Zeise
12:26
I am upset because it is a big boost to the city and local economy. I am upset because a lot of bar and restaurant owners are gonna lose a lot of money on what should be the big day of the year. But it is the absolute right move by the mayor. Just sit out for a few weeks and let this thing run its course

Is the NHL going to follow the lead of the NBA, and if so, do you see an outright cancellation of the seasons or just a stoppage for a limited duration, say 30 days?
Zeise
12:30
I believe both leagues will resume play in a few weeks. I think most people will by then have a grips on this stuff. We should just shut down things for two weeks
We have to have more questions than this!! Come on, where you all at???
Colts Corral

Will Duquesne do anything in the A-10 tourney ? If you or your kid were playing for an Ivy League team or any other league that cancelled its tourney, would you feel pretty ticked off that they cancelled the ENTIRE tourney rather than postpone it ? All that work and effort for nothing
Zeise
12:32
It has been cancelled
