As I said before, debacle is a great word for that mess

Good afternoon, Paul - would you rather bet $10,000 on the Steelers winning 9+ games or the Penguins winning a playoff series next year. You have to choose!

Zeise

12:44

Wow. I would say the Steelers will win 9+ games so I will go that way

I C Light

12:44

I still don’t understand who is “the NFL” Did the owners take a vote?

Zeise

12:45

The owners appointed/hired Goodell. So Goodell's office is representing the NFL

Roquan Smith for Dionte Jonson and a 3rd or 4th round pick? Would give Steelers the ability to sign Smith longer term and the defense is more likely to help the Steelers win than the offense.

Zeise

12:46

Why are so many people fixated Roquan Smith thing? It isn't happening.

Stuck-in-Philly

Can we retire Retire 21 from asking additional questions?

Zeise

12:46

Nope this is an open forum and all questions are welcome!

Mercury

12:47

Has your opinion of Mitch Keller changed over the past month?

Zeise

12:47

Nope. He looks like a middle of the rotation/maybe fourth or fifth starter on a really good team at best. That's what he looks like to me

Buffy

12:48

Harvin punted so poorly last year that a camp competitor was pretty much a sure bet. But I have heard not one word about the competition.Is Harvin's foot to the fire or not?

Zeise

12:48

The best news is you haven't heard Harvin's name. It means he is doing what they need him to do

Mercury

12:48

Ulysses Gilbert waived injured. What happened to him?

Zeise

12:49

Ankle injury that seemed like it was going to be a long recovery

Rob

12:49

Do you think Claypool will play up to his potential this season, or will he be an underachiever and better off traded before the season begins?

Zeise

12:51

I think he will be better than he was last year. I think he will be more consistent and that is what they are asking him to do.. He will continue to get better.

Who is ranked higher at end of CFB season...Pitt or PSU?

Zeise

12:51

I think Pitt will be a top ten team. I don't know if Penn State will be ranked

Pants

12:52

To win NCAA CFB 'chip: You have the field or GA and AL. Who you taking?

Zeise

12:52

I am taking Georgia and Alabama. One of those two teams will win it all

Guest

12:52

Do you think ERA should be turned into RA? Defense does have errors, but they also make great plays to help the pitcher out.

Zeise

12:53

I am sure there is some advanced stat that takes all of those things into account so it already exists.

Uncle Larry

12:53

How would you grade Danny Smith’s body of work?

Zeise

12:53

He has been terrible at his job. The Steelers special teams have been a disaster for the most part for quite some time.

Amanda

12:53

I'm going to the Metallica show Sunday night. I'd like to invite you and Mr. Walsh. Just not alcohol

Zeise

12:54

How can you go to a Metallica concert and not want to pound some beers!!!

Frankie

12:54

Hi Paul. My father told me that years ago, some of the Steelers would play basketball against teams made up of mostly school teachers from the area. Does this still happen or did Covid put an end to these games? Thanks.

Zeise

12:54

COVID killed those games for a couple of years. But I was talking to the guy who runs that and he said they could be making a comeback

12:56

I remember being at one of those games and Brett Kissel and Chris Hoke were ready to throw hands with an overly aggressive high school coach trying to post them up!!!

12:56

Why does the PGA even care about LIV? Why don't they say, 'we don't care if you play in LIV events - but if you want to play in majors, or keep your tour card, you need to meet this criteria (play in certain number of events, FedEx cup points, money list... whatever)'... is the fear that after LIV signs all these guys - on the next contract, they write in that they can no longer play in PGA events? Like is there a scenario where LIV tries to squeeze out the PGA?

Zeise

12:58

When you have been a monopoly for as long as they have been you don’t like competition

Cell phone

12:58

I think MLB needs to make an example of the Pirates for Cellphone-Gate. This is a VERY serious matter. I think Castillo, Shelton and Cherrington need to be banned from MLB, The Pirates forced to forfeit every game he played in and banned from postseason for the next 5 years of more. Plus forced to give up their 1st round pick for the next 5 years. Your thoughts ?

Zeise

12:59

Lighten up, Francis. They should fine him but it doesn’t need to be a federal case. The kid did something dumb

Kevdog

12:59

Cole and Daniels are they “who we thought they were”?

Zeise

1:00

They are starters and that’s what really matters. I think it will be very interesting to see how they play Saturday. I think they will be upgrades but that’s not saying much

Gene Takovic

1:01

Do you believe the QB competition has been handled fairly? It seems as though Tomlin anointed Trubisky from day one.

Zeise

1:02

It is the NFL and it is a business. The minute they signed Trubisky he was going to be the starter

Guest

1:02

Who has the more difficult schedule... Pitt or Penn State ?

Zeise

1:03

The Big Ten is probably better than the ACC so I will give a slight edge to PSU
