Podcast appearances and mentions of bob nutting

Jason thinks Bob Nutting is the biggest heel for some fans. George Pickens, Tristan Jarry, Ryan Graves, and Erik Karlsson are heels for some people. Some of the babyfaces include Paul Skenes, Andrew McCutchen, Sidney Crosby, Cam Heyward, and T.J. Watt.

Hour 3 with Jason Mackey: Jason thinks Bob Nutting is the biggest heel for some fans. George Pickens, Tristan Jarry, Ryan Graves, and Erik Karlsson are heels for some people.

Penn State football's outlook if they grab a top receiver in the portal.

Pirates insider Dan Zangrilli comes on The Fan Hotline to address some of his latest comments about Bob Nutting's feelings about the current state of the team, and he also talks about how long he thinks GM Ben Cherington and manager Derek Shelton could have before they get let go.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder how careful Pirates' manager Derek Shelton may be during this homestand with owner Bob Nutting reportedly not happy with the state of the club.

Nicholas "Harry" Callas reacts to the Pirates' win over the Washington Nationals on Monday, and he also addresses some reports that the team's owner Bob Nutting is "ticked off" right now.

How do you evaluate Derek Shelton? What mark would be enough for Bob Nutting to fire Shelton during the season? Shelton is not getting the most out of his players, but Pomp thinks he doesn't have a lot to work with. Ken Rosenthal has Derek Shelton on the managerial hot list.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: How do you evaluate Derek Shelton? What mark would be enough for Bob Nutting to fire Shelton during the season? Ken Rosenthal has Shelton on the managerial hot seat. Dan Zangrilli's Saturday post game show was very entertaining with a caller calling Dan Paul Alexander and one fan wants players who can play professional baseball.

Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Dan doesn't think we see a super quick firing of Derek Shelton if things don't improve by the end of the month. Dan described Bob Nutting as ‘ticked off' because of both on-field and off-field nonsense surrounding the team. Dan doesn't think anyone has a clue of what's going on or what will happen outside of Nutting, besides maybe, a very small circle. Dan couldn't say for a fact if Shelton is hands-off when it comes to working with hitters, since he does carry a hitting background. Dan commented on a few things we heard from Ben Cherington yesterday before the game. The guys questioned the internal projections of the team in 2025 and if the team expected to be this bad.

Are we closing in on the final days of Derek Shelton as Pirates manager? The Pirates were swept this weekend in Cincy and look like a totally hapless team. Shelton holds among the worst winning percentages of any manager in league history that has seen 700+ games. It also oddly seems like plenty of people feel bad for Shelton. The guys referenced the number of players that have gotten worse under Shelton's watch. Do callers feel bad for Derek Shelton? Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to the week in Pittsburgh sports news. Is Aaron Rodgers delaying his deal with the Steelers out of fear of losing his job like Kirk Cousins did to Michael Penix Jr. with the Atlanta Falcons last season? As Fox Sports insider Jason McIntyre has speculated? What should we make of Justin Fields' comments to reporters, in which he said he didn't feel "comfortable" with Mike Tomlin and the Steelers following his midseason benching in favor of Russell Wilson? How seriously should the GM Omar Khan be taking Shedeur Sanders as a draft option? Whether or not Rodgers signs? And was T.J. Watt being cryptic in an Instagram post in which he gave a peace sign? Or are fans and observers looking too far into it and what it means for his future with the Steelers? Our duo tackles those questions and more. In the second and third segments, airing on the Post-Gazette's new Pirates YouTube channel, the guys give their thoughts on a busy week for the Pirates on and off the field. How much criticism does team president Travis Williams deserve for the Bucco Bricks fiasco, the bungled tribute to Roberto Clemente, attendance issues and the state of PNC Park? Are the problems with the Pirates as a business eclipsing their shortcomings on the field? And how much is owner Bob Nutting paying attention to his club's issues amid relentless chants for him to "sell the team" that started at the home opener last weekend and have not subsided? Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes on-field performance in the second segment. Should we worry about a small dip in Paul Skenes' velocity in his worst start as a Pirates on Tuesday in a loss to the Cardinals? Are Justin Lawrence, Denis Santana and Caleb Ferguson the answers manager Derek Shelton has been looking for in the bullpen following struggles from David Bendar and Colin Holderman in high-leverage roles? Should we be more encouraged or discouraged by Ke'Bryan Hayes' start to the season offensively? How much grace will veterans Tommy Pham and Adam Frazier get amid their struggles? And how important does Andrew McCutchen remain to this lineup? If you haven't already, subscribe to the sports department's YouTube channels so you don't miss a video with our reporters, columnists and their special guests.

TJ Watt has posted a cryptic message on social media. Now people that cover the Steelers are thinking it may be a bigger deal than we thought. It seems like Watt has an ongoing pissing match with Myles Garrett, so he won't take a penny less. Does Watt deserve to make $40M/year at this point in his career? What should the Steelers do with him? Fans chimed in on what the Steelers should do with TJ Watt. PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Andrew McCutchen didn't get the invite from Pat McAfee last night – the guys think that's a big miss on Pat's part. The guys asked Jason who has the strongest voice in the clubhouse. Jason reacted to the ongoing ‘sell the team' chants as a shot of Bob Nutting. Jason doesn't think anyone expected the start of the Pirates season to be this bad, including the off-the-field drama. The guys brought up the job being done by Travis Williams and why he is coming up way short on his end of business. Jason thinks we are about there for Jack Suwinski being put back on the bench or sent down because he looks ‘completely lost.'

Pirates insider Noah Hiles from the PG joined the show. Noah brought up the drama with the Clemente Wall with the patch of Roberto Clemente being removed for ad space. He thinks it could have been avoided with better communication. There may also be a controversy brewing over the bricks that used to be outside of PNC Park. Noah predicted the final stat line for Paul Skenes in 2025. Noah shared his opinion on Oneil Cruz early in the season. Noah doesn't think Cruz in the leadoff spot would be the worst idea ever. The guys asked Noah about his conversation before the home opener that he had with Bob Nutting and what he interpreted from it. How much pressure is there to win and how much is on Derek Shelton in the short-term?

The Pirates are off to a 3-7 start, and Opening Weekend at PNC Park was full of headlines — both on and off the field. We dive into the fallout from the Yankees series, the Roberto Clemente sign controversy, and a growing list of injuries that's already testing the team's depth. We also react to Bob Nutting's media appearance and what (if anything) they mean for the Pirates' direction. Then, Anthony Murphy from Bucs On Deck joins the show to break down the minor league opening weekend, highlight some hot starts, and talk about which prospects could force their way to Pittsburgh in 2025.

Joe believes this is the low point of the Bob Nutting era. Nutting told the Post-Gazette he believes he's given all the tools and resources to the team to be successful. Nutting said that at a point, it comes to execution.

The Pirates were a blown save/extra-inning collapse from being swept by the Yankees, which would have stood as the worst opening series at PNC Park in their history. It was still pretty bad. There are plenty of issues to go around. Bob Nutting also told reporters and fans that he is doing everything to build a winning baseball team. OK. The Pirates also have one of the worst GMs in baseball – that is a talking point.

Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Dan gave his opinion of the opening weekend at PNC Park. Dan reflected on some of the comments made by Bob Nutting the other day. The guys asked Dan about the breakdown in the front office and some of the random/weird positions that were created and spent money on, opposed to on-field talent. Dan said the Pirates have seemingly figured out the starting pitching, which is usually the hard part.

Could newspaper subscriptions help keep Paul Skenes in Pittsburgh?

You may have seen the billboards, the T-shirts, that one angry dude sitting behind home plate at another team's playoff game — because there are some really frustrated Pirates fans out there. With the new season already off to a slow start and our home opener against the Yankees set for tomorrow, we're sitting down with a few of the rabble-rousers behind Our Team, Not His who say the time is now to convince Pirates owner Bob Nutting to sell the team. Not just for fans, but for taxpayers and anyone else who wants to see the whole city succeed. Thanks to our guests Gabe Mazefsky, Marc Datz, and Canyon Swartz.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. How closely should GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers consider drafting a RB in the first round to replace Najee Harris alongside Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? Are names like Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton and Kaleb Johnson worth forgoing other positions of need to select? Do they need a defensive lineman like Derrick Harmon, Walter Nolen or Kenneth Grant more? And what should we make of colleague Gerry Dulac's reporting that RB could be an option in "any" round? Paul tackles those questions as well as the Pirates' series finale with the Tampa Bay Rays. Was Paul Skenes able to steady the ship after a 1-5 start to the season? And how hostile will fans be toward owner Bob Nutting, GM Ben Cherington and manager Shelton with the home opener looming Friday?

On their weekly podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey react to the Steelers' offseason moves so far. How do moves for names like DK Metcalf, Kenneth Gainwell, Darius Slay and -- potentially -- Aaron Rodgers compare to GM Omar Khan's action in his first two seasons? Does this group compare well with the 2023 NFL free agency class that included Elandon Roberts, Larry Ogunjobi and Isaac Seumalo? Or the 2024 group that included Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Patrick Queen and DeShon Elliott? Will a lack of NFL draft picks naturally lead to a less bountiful offseason? And how should the stockpiling of compensatory picks for 2026 factor into this conversations? Later, the guys get into some college talk with Pitt, Penn State and West Virginia all stating spring practice. Are eyes on Drew Allar in Happy Valley as he looks to shake off a College Football Playoff loss to Notre Dame? Can he get the most out of a loaded roster that includes returnees such as Nick Singleton, Kaytron Allen and more? And are receiver transfers Devonte Ross and Kyron Hudson enough to help the passing game as it loses Tyler Warren to the NFL? In Morgantown, what kind of difference can the return of coach Rich Rodriguez make? And can Eli Holstein, Desmond Reid and the Panthers emerge from mediocrity? Our duo tackles those questions. Then in the third segment, airing on the PG Pirates YouTube channel, Adam and Jason get into predictions for the Pirates and the MLB season. How many wins will manager Derek Shelton's club rack up? Can Paul Skenes, Mitch Keller and the pitching staff push them over the .500 mark? Or will the lineup led by Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes continue to struggle like it has in years past? What should we make of Carmen Mlodzinski earning a rotation spot? How will the catching situation play out with Endy Rodriguez making the Opening Day roster and Henry Davis starting in Class AAA? And why haven't we hear from owner Bob Nutting this spring?

The Post-Gazette reported that the Pirates have money to spend, but DK Pittsburgh Sports says finances for the Pirates are challenging. Joe asks if Bob Nutting is in it to win it, why did he ratify the last CBA and isn't pounding the table for things to change? DK's report says the Pirates are losing money

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to the passing of legendary Penguins broadcaster Mike Lange late Wednesday night at the age of 76. What legacy does he leave the team, NHL and hockey community at large? What are some of Jason's best memories of getting to know Mike on a personal level over the years? What were some of his best moments on the mic? And why is he every bit a piece of franchise lore alongside on-ice heroes like Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin? Our duo tackles those poignant questions, then dives into some hockey talk about the U.S. vs. Canada championship match of the Four Nations Face-off. Can Penguins coach Mike Sullivan and his American team recreate their defensive magic from the first matchup over the weekend. Will there be more booing and fisticuffs? And has this tournament reminded the right people that Crosby remains every bit the face of hockey and Team Canada that Connor McDavid is? Then later, Adam and Jason ponder Penn State's College Football Playoff chances next season following Jason's column on the topic. Are the returns of Drew Allar, Nick Singleton, Kaytron Allen and Dani Dennis-Sutton enough to make this program a dominant force? Or will it need transfer additions at wide receiver like Devonte Ross and Kyron Hudson to make an impact to take a step forward from a crushing loss to Notre Dame in the CFP semifinals at the Orange Bowl last month? In the third segment, airing on the PG's new Pirates-focused channel, the topic is payrolls disparity in MLB and the need for a salary cap to even things out. Are tight spenders like the Pirates' Bob Nutting or free spending teams like the Dodgers, Yankees and Mets the sport's biggest problem? How much should revenue sharing be part of the conversation around payroll? And how much would transparency in these matters help quell fans' angst? Adam and Jason try to answer those questions, then weigh in on some baseball topics, including the first base situation amid Spencer Horwitz's injury. Is Nick Yorke a good fit as a replacement? Why is it the right move to keep Bryan Reynolds in the outfield? And what impact can Tommy Pham have on the clubhouse culture, starting with his relationship with Oneil Cruz?

On their weekly Thursday podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey react to a busy week in Pittsburgh sports news. Are the Steelers rebuilding, as PG colleague Ray Fittipaldo has argued? Are Mike Tomlin and his coaching staff simply failing with a roster that's built to win? How should the answer to the rebuilding question inform their decision at QB between options including Justin Fields, Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers? Should stars like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward or Minkah Fitzpatrick be traded if this team does not have serious hopes of Super Bowl contention? And where does the young offensive line, including names like Broderick Jones, Mason McCormick, Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier fit into this conversation? Our duo tackles those questions and also weighs in on some negative reaction to the announcement of next seasons Ireland game at Croke Park in Dublin. Then they tackles some 4 Nations Faceoff questions. Is this tournament involving Penguins standouts including Sidney Crosby, Mike Sullivan and Rickard Rakell compelling and worth watching? And is the event's marketing -- and the NHL's marketing at large -- too focused on Connor McDavid and the league's young stars? At the expense of Crosby and Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin? Then in the third segment, airing on the Post-Gazette's new Pirates channel, Adam and Jason ponder headlines from the first week of spring training in Bradenton. Who is more responsible for the team's disastrous MLB offseason: GM Ben Cherington or owner Bob Nutting? How much scorn do they deserve for the Spencer Horwitz injury situation, which has sidetracked one of the few key moves they did make? What should we make out Bryan Reynolds moving to right field, free agent Tommy Pham playing in left and Oneil Cruz continuing his transition from shortstop in center? Will this be a bad defensive group in totality? And is there reason for optimism about Ke'Bryan Hayes, as team and player express hope that they're better able to manage his chronic back issues?

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason is befuddled by the Pirates offseason plan. Jason gave his reaction to Tommy Pham signing with the Pirates and said he was confused by the fit. Jason is confused by the current rebuild plan that is in Year 6 entering 2025. Jason doesn't think Pham was the target, but that's who they ended up settling for. How does Paul Skenes feel about this? Jason doesn't think Bob Nutting is happy about what is happening. Jason wondered why the price tag put into this year's team is less than what it was in 2024.

The Pirates have signed Tommy Pham in what could be their final signing of the offseason. What grade do they deserve for their downtime acquisitions? They have a golden arm in their rotation and they have done very little to make the team better. We talked about Pham's personality and how that could clash with what the Pirates have. What's a word you would use to describe the Pirates offseason? We played some game show failure sounds to describe the Pirates offseason. PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show.

The Pirates surveyed their fans. They want answers. Are the Pirates an organization that cares about winning? Are the Pirates an organization that cares about their on-field product? You can say the team is prestigious given this history, but it's hard to say ‘yes' to the other questions. Fans gave their takes on the Pirates survey. How will the team respond to seeing answers they don't like? PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason reacted to the survey the Pirates sent out to fans. The guys discussed what the big issue is here – is Ben Cherington not allowed to spend money or is he afraid to do it? Jason doesn't think the payroll was destined to go above $90M, but he thinks Bob Nutting probably wants it around there, and it isn't right now. Jason doesn't agree with Nutting's approach, but he said he'd likely spend more money if he saw more winning. Jason doesn't think making the best offer to a free agent means they will get him and that there are other factors involved.

It's the Friday news roundup! There's a big redesign coming for Pittsburgh Regional Transit, and a whole bunch of ways to let the authority know how you feel about it. We're talking about who is — and who should be — receiving arts funding in Pittsburgh and sharing opportunities for local artists, including Envisioning a Just Pittsburgh's call for art. Plus, we're discussing a big baseball meetup this weekend, an unsettling contest at Kennywood, and a proposal to raise county property taxes.
