Let’s get started

Hi Paul. If the published figures are correct, it looks like the Diontae Johnson deal is a win for the Steelers at an average of about $13 million per for three years. I am surprised he settled for so much less than the current market would dictate.
Zeise
1:10
I don’t get it but he got a lot guaranteed and he is still going to be young enough to cash in on his next deal. The Steelers got what they wanted - lock him up but not for too many years

paul, i think your think the nfl shouldn't appeal watson's suspension, exactly  what does a player have to do to get a year or more suspension? ben got a slap on he wrist for manhandling 2 women, this guy had 24 women complaints , whats the deal paul?
Zeise
1:13
There is a lot of due process that the union will surely exploit. It is headed to court

How hard will Goodell come down on Watson now that the arbitration process is over? You indicated you were fine with the six games the judge recommended earlier this week.
Zeise
1:13
Sounds like he wants a year, counseling and a big fine
The Real TP Hunter

Do you think the Pirates would have moved Bednar at the trade deadline if he was healthy?
Zeise
1:14
No it doesn’t sound like they had any desire too

Are the NFL teams are going to wear the Great Gazoo helmets during the first two preseason games, or do they just wear them in practice through the first two preseason games?
Zeise
1:19
Just in camp to minimize hits to head

Paul, are you only going to answer the easy questions today until you get your new contract signed?
Zeise
1:20
What new contract
Hal

Why u starting so damn late brah? Have some respect for others for a change Zeisse.
Zeise
1:23
Better late than never. And now you just wasted your question on a silly insult and misspelled my name, brah!!
Amanda

Good afternoon Mr. Zeise. You see what happened to that Brittany Grinder ? That's why I consume alcohol or anything else. It's the work of the Devil !!

When a player is injured do they still get their full salary? Do the teams pay it or do they have insurance policies?
Zeise
1:24
Yes and yes

Hey hows come I ain't in no Steelers Hall of Fame ? Do y'all know how difficult it was to play at Three Rivers during those years. Especially when the wind would come off the lake in Winter. I deserve to be there dagnabbit
Zeise
1:25
There are a lot of players ahead of you, sir

According to reports out of Chicago, the Bears are looking to trade offensive tackle Teven Jenkins. He has not practiced yet and is said to have maturity issues along with having had back surgery last year. If the Steelers were interested in trading for him, could the Bears give them permission to speak to him prior to a trade or is that not allowed?
Zeise
1:26
A lot of times the team will ask the agent to work out a trade. That is permissible.
Steeltown

Paul, what do you think of Najee’s vision? Seems like he runs to the traffic rather than hitting the holes. I love his toughness, but question his decision making once he gets the ball in his hands. What say you?
Zeise
1:30
I think he is really good at running the football. He certainly doesn’t make a lot of people miss but he is really good at running through contact
Dead Lines

I just saw that Britney Griner got a nine year sentence. What's your take on that situation? How long do you think she'll serve?
Zeise
1:31
Probably less. It all depends on how much negotiating the White House wants to do with Putin to get a deal done
John in SC
1:31
DJ’s deal was actually a 2 yr deal as he was already under contract for 2022, although he did get a raise this also. Am I mistaken?
Zeise
1:32
He is gonna make like $39 million over the next three seasons
Matt Canada
1:32
You don't think they'd fire me in Training Camp do you ?
Zeise
1:32
Why would they do that? What have you done?

Best pinch hitter of all time ? Burgess, Lynch,  or Mota ? Isn't this a dying art with the DH ?
Zeise
1:34
Yes isn’t that crazy, the DH will make the pinch hitter an extinct species. That’s what the DH is going to do. There will still be pinch hitters but now you don’t need to use five of them to get through a game with all the pitching changes

The investigator who rendered the D Watson decision wrote numerous times that Mr. Watson had commited criminal acts. Starkey wrote that she made the case for the NFL.  Your thoughts on this?
Zeise
1:35
She did but her conclusion of only six games completely contradicted her findings. So I have no idea what to think about it all. It just doesn’t seem like there is going to be a quick resolution to all of this
The Real TP Hunter

Aside from quarterback, what is the most important position battle happening at Pitt's fall practices?
Zeise
1:36
Definitely linebacker. They had a lot of attrition and brought in a few new linebackers. That group has a lot of potential but needs to have a great competition in camp so the best 5-6 linebackers emerge.
The Noog man
1:37
Who wins the transfer QB Bowl, pitt or wvu?
Zeise
1:37
Pitt is better and at home and more experienced and I think got the better of the two former USC quarterbacks. So as much as there will be hype for the game I think Pitt should win comfortably

I don't understand why the pirates waited until after the deadline to DFA Tsutsugo.   They must have really liked the translator, and wanted to keep his contributions to the team the last couple of weeks.
