This week's show notes: John Banaszak, Chris Hoke Ryan Reaves-Pens, Steve Hutchinson O Guard Seahawks/Vikings Riverhounds- Last week the hounds ended with a 2-2 Draw with Bethlehem Steel (Pull stats) this Saturday the Hounds take on Louisville City in Louisville who are 6th in the group currently. Next Saturday the hounds have their home opener with Hartford Athletic. PGA Tour- Last week was the WGC Match Play at Austin CC. Kevin Kisner wins the brackets over Matt Kuchar.

Also, Last week the Puntacana Championship was going on last week that Gream McDowell , this week the PGA Topur is at the Valero Texas open in San Antonio. After day one Sae woo Kim is in the lead -6. Not lots of big names this week as the guys get ready for the Masters next week. NCAA- the Final Four is set, 3 Texas Tech and 2 Mi State and 5 Auburn and 1 Virginia take on each other Saturday with the final game to be held Monday in Minneapolis. 2 of the 4 elite 8 games went into overtime and the Duke game was just crazy ending.

Malkin and Letang both back in the lineup contribute nicely. Mc Cann has been all over the Ice and making lots of plays. Pirates- the Bucs are 2-3 after a win tonight over the reds. First off, the Bucs blew leads and went into extras with the Cards the previous two games including the home opener. The Defense made errors, the offense struggled with players in scoring position . The Starting pitchers were great, but are on an early season Pitch count. Steelers- the teams released Morgan Burnett, Steelers gave him 14.35 million over three years, after one season, 11 games, early season injury, and being platooned in the secondary or as a inside LB in the dime package, he asked for his release, the Steelers shopped him with no takers, so they just released him freeing up 3.63 mill on the cap, but have a dead money hit due to a roaster bonus. Todd McShay prediction of Greedy Williams LSU Cornerback as our number one draft pick. Holmes and Keisel are to announce 2nd and 3rd round picks at draft. Bens Deal- Ben has been out of town, his agent also represents Goff, Wentz, and Mariota. Those guys are in the 4th and or 5th year of their rookie deal. That may also set the bar for Ben who is in the last year of his 4yr 84 mill contract. Ben is due 23.2 mill against the Cap this season. Projected that Ben gets 2yr around 50 mill, and probably all guaranteed. Fun things this week.

The game ended in a 2-2 draw. The hounds next match is at the Bethlehem Steel this Saturday at 7 pm. International Soccer -Matt got this. NFL- Gronk Retirement - 29 yrs old, 3 time Super Bowl Champ, 5 time pro bowler, 4 First team All-Pro, 2010-2018 9yr career all with the Pats. Gronk made over 70 million in the NFL and has banked and invested all of his Player Checks. He has lived off of his endorsement deals. He kept it simple.

NFL- Rules Change- for a one year trial, Offense and defensive Pass Interference calls, and Non Calls to be challenged . Under 2 mins the league will review all calls and non calls.

Next week is the Valero Texas Open, then its Masters Week. April 11-14. Penguins - there are 5 games left and the Pens actually look like they are clicking headed down the stretch as they find themselves in 2nd position in the Metropolitan Division. Even with the small amount of games left, there pens can still find themselves on the outside looking in with the tight division and conference . NCAA- the Tournament has yet again gone to the sweet 16 and I don’t think there is a perfect bracket there. Its been exciting , and there is a chance still for a Duke/UNC Championship game. MLB- Chris Sale with a 160 mill extension that could pay him well after he retires with the deal structure . The deal is hard to figure out based on where the and who there money is due and his incentives. The Red Sox are the odds on favorite to win the World Series at 6-1, the Pirates are 80-1. MLB Opening day is tomorrow , Thursday the 28th, the Bucs open up on the road in Cincy who had a lot of additions to their squad this season.

Unfortunately work this year I watched at home before heading in. (Check scores) Penguins- the Pens are not helping themselves not finishing games and giving up points. It’s good they got one point in the past two ties, but hurts in long run especially with teams your chasing. The pens have let in some weak goals and the offense hasn’t been clicking. Kessel hasn’t had a full strength goal in 25 games, Malkin is week to week with a upper body. The team looks mediocre. Numbers, top 6, wild card, or miss. Steelers- Mike Hilton Using Restricted Free Agency in his favor, the Steelers have been tossing some money around in Free Agency which is not normal for the team to Cornerback Steven Nelson, WR, Donte Moncrief, and LB/Safety Mark Barron 46mill in total for the 3.

The Pen also picked up D Man Chris Wideman from the Panthers to try to sure up the Blue line . Derick Brassard who Pens traded to Panthers is now with the Avalanche. Former Pen, Haglin who was traded to the kings earlier this season is now with the Caps. Biggest one in my eyes is Mats Zuccarello to the Stars. In the last few games, the Pens have had some bad outings, getting shelled by the sharks 4-0 and a total give away game in the Stadium Series Out door game in Philly last Saturday losing in OT 4-3. Murray is letting in weak goals, the Defense isn’t clearing pucks, lots of giveaways in the natural zone, the offense isn’t keeping the zone and putting puck on net.

The top ten this year are: Brady, Brown, Went, Jones, Bell, Gurley, Donald, Brees, V.Miller, and Rodgers. The Pirates are supposedly shopping Cervelli, Dickerson, Harrison, Mercer, and Freese.

Huntington said that the team will add pieces at the deadline if the attendance picks up. The team is worth $1.2 bill, and profited $86 mill between 2016 and 2017.
