Zeise
12:05
It is July! Welcome, let’s get started!!!
Rico
12:06
Dude are you a sports columnist or some kind of right wing shill pal? I know you won't post this cause you some jive turkey but you need to hear this: Nobody wants to read your Fox News talking points. You a joke, straight joke.
Zeise
12:08
Rico needs a hug. Help this dude out. Rico did you write this before or after you yelled “MOM, THE MEATLOAF!!” OK now that we got the circus clown out of the way, let’s do better and really chat....
Mark
12:08
What's the appropriate food/gift to bring to a Bobby Bonilla Day party?
Zeise
12:08
Great point, I would assume some form of picnic food since it is so close to July 4th!!
V. Fontaine
12:09
I wonder with the NIL change if it will impact the locker room. If the star QB is making making money but the offensive linemen are not, does that invite dissension into the team?
Zeise
12:11
I keep hearing this and cant understand it... Ben Roethlisberger made like $30 million last year, many other players made less the $2 million. And that’s the case in every professional locker room in America. Why would it be any different in college? Stars make more money, it is what it is
Jeff
12:11
I'm starting to get worried about KeBryan Hayes. He has looked bad at the plate lately and I have no confidence our terrible hitting coach will help him. Thoughts?
Zeise
12:13
He is really young so he will go through ups and downs. That’s a part of it. This is his first full season, these patches where he struggles a little bit. It is growing pains
Mark
12:13
It's July now, and the Steelers start training camp later this month.  One month from now, which new Steeler -- other than Najee Harris or Dwayne Haskins -- will people be talking about the most?
Zeise
12:14
Najee Harris will be the most talked about player in camp - good or bad.
Teddy KGB
12:14
I took $900, played baccarat and walked away with around $54,000 at Rivers the other day. Not bad huh? Got it all in cash.
Zeise
12:14
Hopefully the IRS isn’t monitoring this chat!!!
Pete Squirrel Hill
12:15
Hey Paul, how come you always laugh and criticize my thoughts when I call the sports call with you and Richie or Josh?
Zeise
12:16
I don’t criticize your thoughts unless they deserve to be criticized. And I laugh at some of your calls when I hear you bringing up something about the 1950s
TexStill
12:16
What is your gut on Devin Bush this year? Difference make near a Shazier level? Just a good but not great piece of the D? Guy they plan defenses around? Just a guy? To me he is probably the key to how good the D is this year.
Zeise
12:17
I think he is a good player who will make high impact plays. I also think he has some flaws in his game and can be exposed in the passing game at times so he will probably give up some plays too
Bernard
12:18
I'd love to see Fleury back with Pens but, if he's leaving Vegas to get away from a coach that yanks him around, why would he want to return to Sullivan who did the same thing?
Zeise
12:19
Is Mike Sullivan still going to be the coach in 2022? I will be interested to see how it plays out when they take away some of his speed guys and replace them with heavy dudes
Bernard
12:19
What happens when under the NIL laws being passed, 99% of all money is earned by male athletes?
Zeise
12:27
It won’t happen but nothing. That’s one unintended consequence the woke who have championed all of this failed to account for: there is no Title IX forcing private enterprise so there will likely be a lot of inequality. And as someone who believes in the free market, I would think that companies will find it is important to endorse female athletes because women buy products too. That’s how the market works and it is nice that college athletes can cash in. But again, I predict female athletes will cash in as well and they should
Jacob
12:28
Don't you think Nutting needs to be more specific about how much he will spend in a couple of years? If us the fans have to put up with another start from scratch rebuild for the next 4 years we should be told just how committed Nutting claims he is with regard to payroll! I want to see a contract 5 years $100 million don't you?
Zeise
12:29
The worst thing you can do if you are any business is commit to a lot of money for what is at this point unknown. It makes no sense for them to commit to anything
Bernard
12:29
You son played Division 1 football - what impact will NIL have in the locker room when 2-3 players are cashing in big time?
Zeise
12:30
As I just said - none. Professional teams have players making all kinds of different incomes and endorsements and it is fine
Kevin
12:31
Shouldn't the Pirates stop playing guys like Tom thumb and .200 hitting Newman who clearly has shown he is a total bust and just let Cole Tucker play the rest of the season to sink or swim? I'm honestly very tired of seeing lineups with Tom, Gamel, Newman, Perez, Polanco etc...
Zeise
12:33
This year isn’t about anything other than what goes on with the minor leagues. And if Cole Tucker isn’t hitting in the minors, why bring him up? I seriously don’t know if he will ever hit at the MLB level
Amanda
12:33
Every time I see you on the Nightly Sports Call you and Walls, I wanna puke. Drinking is a serious epidemic and for you to laugh on tv was so pathetic by you but not surprising. You will be fired soon, SHAME SHAME SHAME!!
Zeise
12:34
The circus is back! Have another beer and a shot of Fireball, your husband is already five drinks in
Bernard
12:34
Would DeCastro even played this season had the Steelers not released him?  Seems like injury is bad enough that he would've likely sat for much if not all of the season.
Zeise
12:35
No, his ankle is too bad and apparently needs surgery. That is why he got released
Mark
12:35
Will you watch the Olympics, and, if so, what sports/events are you looking forward to seeing?
Kurt
12:36
Hey Paul shouldn't the Bucs cut ties with the hitting coach after the season cause he sucks.
Zeise
12:36
I’ll watch a little of the basketball and maybe a little of the track (the sprints) bit other than that I don’t care and won’t watch
12:37
Kurt - I think the hitting coach is an overrated job. If you have bad hitters to work with, what are you supposed to do? These guys aren’t miracle workers
Mercury
12:37
Will the Pirates get 15,000 for tonight’s reopening day?
Zeise
12:38
Yes I think so provided it actually happens!! Big and Rich are playing and people in this town love their country music
Mercury
12:38
When was the last time a starting all star game player was traded immediately before or after the game?
Zeise
12:38
I have no idea but Adam Frazier will be on alert got this!!!
Amanda's Mom
12:39
I apologize for Amanda. She was brought up better than that.  But, when she hooked up with that Rico person, she has never been the same.
Connecting…
