They won’t catch Arizona. They won’t be that bad will they? I think Arizona will be the worst thing
K Hayes
12:58
Looks like my hitting has returned to the mean, as they say. Were yinzers a little too enthusiastic about my ceiling?
Zeise
12:58
No it is just you are young. Keep grinding, you will be fine
Skeptik
12:58
Gotta go with the over on Pitt at 6.5 right? Under on Steelers at 8.5?
Zeise
12:59
I love Pitt over and I like the Steelers over. I have Pitt at 9-3 and the Steelers at 10-7
Hogan

You a match play or stroke play aficionado? Due to your proclivity for the occasional snowman, I would think match play is your game….
Zeise
1:00
I like match play or stroke play ...... as long as we use handicaps! My handicap keeps me in the game even with an occasional snowman

Hope you’re staying cool Paul.  Do you think Washington is wise for requesting a trade when he will be a free agent next season and JuJu is most likely gone?
Zeise
1:06
I think. I think he has clearly fallen out of favor with the coaches and that’s not going to change unless he does something dramatic
Ronnie
1:06
Paul, do you think Coach Capel will get that one player who can revitalize the program like Curtis Aiken did?
Zeise
1:07
It is hard to tell and getting late in the game for him that’s the thing with basketball, you only need one guy to change your program
Utah Jim
1:08
Why is anyone talking about Snell vs. Ballage as the short yardage back? Shouldn’t it be Harris?
Zeise
1:12
They are going to use both of them to give Harris a rest. I don’t think they want to give him 25-30 carries a game
Mercury
1:12
Is Le’veon Bell’s career over?
Zeise
1:12
It was over the day he left Pittsburgh
Mercury
1:12
What professional athlete has been the biggest disappointment since you’ve been following Pittsburgh sports?
Zeise
1:13
Not even close - Gregory Polanco. I thought he was gonna be a monster. Instead he has been mostly a stiff
Matt from LA
1:13
WHY, WHY, WHY is Polanco still playing right field almost daily for the Bucs while batting below the Mendoza line? Why not give the  younger guys some experience?
Zeise
1:14
Ha ha ha. They play him for $14 million or whatever. That’s why
Mercury
1:14
It seems like officials in all pro sports have been rather overt lately in giving teams makeup calls for ones they have blown. Has that always been the case and it’s just that today’s tv cameras make it more obvious?
Zeise
1:14
That’s always been the case. It really makes no sense but it is human instinct
Matt from LA
1:14
Although I am all for a college athlete to make money on their image, likeness and status, won't this just add to the inequity (money differences) that currently exist in college athletics (e.g., between the SEC and ACC) and, worse yet, make those inequities even greater?
Zeise
1:15
No I don’t think so. The system is what it is. And the rich will remain the rich
Still Crazy after All these Years
1:16
Is there a possibility of moving Hayes to short or third? His numbers at AAA and the bigs indicate he will be a 260 hitter with little power. That isn’t good enough for a corner infielder on a good team.
Zeise
1:19
I think he will be good enough hitter. He is a really good in the field. He is young and has a lot of growth. He will get better
Yuri
1:19
Hello Paul.  With Pittsburgh’s rich boxing history, are you surprised that there aren’t many fight cards held here?  Thank you Paul.
Zeise
1:20
Boxing is dying. It is sad but it is a dying sport all around. I would like to see more fights here but there just isn’t that big of a market for boxing
TJ
1:21
Hey, what's the holdup on my extension?
Zeise
1:21
The guaranteed money. That has to be it
Destiny
1:23
Do you think if Ben returns next year they will resign Mason or draft someone and move on?
Zeise
1:24
I think they really believe Dwayne Haskins has a chance to follow Ben. And if Ben comes back Rudolph will be a backup for one more year
Jarvis Ragdoll Jones
1:24
Is Duck Hodges in anybody's camp this summer?
Zeise
1:24
Not that I know of
Bruce
1:24
Do you think Kenny Pickett plays in the NFL?
Zeise
1:25
I do. He is the kind of guy who will find his way on to a roster and have a decent career as a backup
Matt from LA
1:25
I guess the BIG Nogowski isn't so big after all? I guess that there There is a reason why the Cards dumped a 28 year old singles hitter?
Zeise
1:26
It is hilarious ain’t it - this guy is the latest that Pirates fans love and he turns out to be a bust
Eli
1:26
Serious question why does Poni hype up Haskins so much and knocks Mason? It makes no sense to me.
Zeise
1:27
He determined that Mason Rudolph stinks and nothing will change his view and so he has now gone way over the top
Ok thanks for all the great questions! Let’s do it again next week
