The guys break down a busy stretch of sports news, starting with the Giants reshaping their wide receiver room by adding Calvin Austin and Darnell Mooney. They debate what the moves mean for the offense, whether Darius Slayton could be on his way out, and why the additions could create new mismatches even if the team still targets a receiver in the draft. They also dive into the quarterback carousel after Justin Fields is traded to the Kansas City Chiefs while the Jets pivot toward Geno Smith for stability. Later, the conversation shifts to Citi Field as new construction threatens to create a parking nightmare for Mets fans. From shuttle plans and transit incentives to street-parking “secrets,” the crew shares stories, frustrations, and survival strategies for getting to the ballpark this season.

In this episode, we break down a busy Steelers offseason highlighted by the trade for Michael Pittman Jr. and key free‑agency additions, including CB Jamel Dean, RB Rico Dowdle, and DL Sebastian Joseph‑Day. We also examine the impact of notable departures like Calvin Austin, Isaac Seumalo, Kenneth Gainwell, and James Pierre. From there, we dive into what's next for Pittsburgh: What should the Steelers still target in free agency? Where are the biggest remaining roster holes? And which positions offer the best value moving forward as the draft approaches? We zoom out to look at the big picture of the Steelers' roster build, why everything now hinges on one quarterback decision, and how smart value moves could shape the rest of the offseason.

We'll open on Ole Miss having a run so far in the SEC Tournament and if it can continue against Alabama (3:00) and then we'll hit on Grizz/Mavs, Khris Middleton having a throwback night, why veteran players have torched us, why Roser was helping out with the Mavs Spanish Radio broadcast and tonight's Grizz/Pistons game including if Tobias Harris will score 40 hahaha (7:15). Dwight Howard announced his retirement (27:35). FedEx's Richard Smith had comments about the Grizzlies in the Commercial Appeal and it should make every Grizzlies fan feel good (40:29). We'll hit on the Conference Tournaments, Florida crushing opponents, the Big 12 getting rid of their LED court and Prospect Watch (1:01:16). We'll finish on Kyler Murray joining the Vikings, Calvin Austin going to the Giants, Travis Etienne's name pronunciation and Minkah Fitzpatrick not wanting to play for the Jets (1:11:01)Host: Chris Vernon Contributors: Jon Roser, Devin Walker Technical Director: Jaylon Wallace Associate Producer: Jena Broyles 

The Steelers signed safety Jaquan Brisker to a one-year, $5.5 million deal. Brisker is a Pittsburgh native who played at Penn State and is a very tough, physical player. Calvin Austin signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants. Connor Heyward signed a two-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Hour 1 with Donny Football: The Steelers signed safety Jaquan Brisker to a one-year, $5.5 million deal. Brisker is a Pittsburgh native who played at Penn State and is a very tough, physical player. Calvin Austin signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants. Connor Heyward signed a two-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. Gateway football coach Don Holl joined the show. Holl coached Jaquan Brisker at Gateway before Brisker played at Lackawanna and Penn State.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. The conversation started with receivers after Calvin Austin signed a cheap deal with the Giants yesterday. Mark said there really wasn't any interest in Austin coming back. Mark thinks they could still bring in a lower-tier veteran WR. Mark believes the Steelers still have hope in Roman Wilson and said Wilson could be a starter over the receiver they potentially draft 21st overall. More w/ Mark – Rasheed Walker, one of the late big-name free agents on the market, signed with the Panthers in the last few minutes. What happened with the Steelers signing Brock Hoffman? Are the Steelers going to sign a notable left guard to replace Isaac Seumalo? Mark said he would have called Wyatt Teller instead of riding with what the Steelers have on the left side of the line. Mark likes the Jaquan Brisker signing and talked about how they can move their pieces around the defense. What does the alignment look like if they face a team with 3 good targets in Week 1? Mark credited Omar Khan for the homework he did on the Michael Pittman Jr. trade and how he got it for so little in terms of draft compensation. More w/ Mark – Steelers media got to meet the newest team members today, including Rico Dowdle, who joins Jaylen Warren in the Steelers backfield as a fellow UDFA. Mark said the Steelers are on the only team whose RB1 & RB2 are UDFAs. The discussion turned to college hoops and whether or not Miami (OH) deserves their chance in the NCAA Tournament.

Mike Tomlin spoke last night a gala at Acrisure Stadium, but he only made a statement. He allegedly was supposed to have a Q&A with the media, but blew them off after the event. Last night was also the final cap on the 2022 Steelers draft with Calvin Austin going to the Giants and Connor Heyward going to the Raiders. It's one of the worst drafts in Steelers history. But is it the worst? We took a little trip down memory lane. Bears expert Mark Grote from 670 The Score joined the show. Mark explained why the Steelers may have gotten a discount on Jaquan Brisker. Brisker has had 3 documented concussions in his career so far. Mark described Brisker as a ‘talker' and has no problem doing it on the field. Mark mentioned that Brisker called out the Dennis Allen defense at one point last season. Mark said Brisker is a physical player that has no problem willing to help out in run defense. His pass coverage is mediocre and probably not his best skill. Mark rated Brisker's game in other aspects of defense. Mark thinks Brisker for $5.5M is a steal for the Steelers. What makes Chicago the mecca of St. Paddy's Day? Open Phone Friday.

The Giants added real speed and return juice with Calvin Austin III, but they also added another smaller receiver to a room that still has real questions about size, blocking, and true depth. Is this a smart low-cost addition, or are the Giants making another small bet at wide receiver instead of solving the bigger problem?Follow us on Spotify for more Giants reactions, and if you listen on Apple, please drop a 5-star rating and review to help the show grow.This episode is built around the Calvin Austin signing because that was the real debate of the night. Drew and Rob break down why the deal itself makes sense on paper at one year and $1.5 million, why the incentives matter, and why Austin's speed gives this offense something it badly needed. They get into the 4.32 speed, the return ability, the gadget usage, and why Austin could absolutely carve out a role if the Giants use him the right way. They also make the case that fans are too quick to dismiss a player just because he is not a headline name. If Austin gives this team a few hundred receiving yards, return value, and real speed stress, that is strong value on this contract.At the same time, the episode keeps coming back to the real tradeoff. Austin is still undersized. He is not the guy you want winning jump balls. He is not bringing much as a blocker. And if the Giants keep stacking smaller complementary receivers without adding enough size and complete skill sets around Malik Nabors, are they really building a better room or just adding another specialist? That is the tension running through the entire discussion. The guys also talk about whether Austin is really a Jalin Hyatt replacement, whether Jackson Dart could benefit from this type of weapon, and why the Giants may still need to draft another receiver even after making this move. The overall takeaway is that the contract is good, the role makes sense, and the value is real, but the broader receiver room still feels unfinished.The rest of the show touches on the other Day 4 moves and reactions, including Chris Board being released, Aaron Stinnie and Ryan Miller returning, the Abdul Carter No. 3 jersey buzz, and media comments from Tremaine Edmunds, Jermaine Eluemunor, Micah McFadden, Patrick Ricard, and Jason Sanders. But the center of gravity is Calvin Austin and what this signing says about how the Giants are trying to build the offense.This is the audio from yesterday morning's live show.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send a textSupport the show

Kyler Murray is in Minnesota today meeting with the Vikings, but before that, Murray met virtually with ‘multiple QB-needy' teams, including the Steelers. Steelers reporters are quickly putting the kibosh on the team signing Murray even if it's for the veteran minimum. Why are people so disgusted with the thought of Murray playing QB for the Steelers? Is Murray an option for more than 2026? The guys couldn't remember if there was this much backlash when the Steelers showed interest in Russell Wilson. A former Steelers QB3 just signed a deal worth $4M and Murray can be had for $1.3M. Are Steelers fans still strongly against Kyler Murray being the team's QB? Cardinals fan called in to tell us he's happy to see Murray go. Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray doesn't think the Steelers were all that close to making a move for Malik Willis. Ray is unaware of the Steelers virtually meeting with Kyler Murray before he went to meet in-person with Minnesota. Is Aaron Rodgers really the best out there after showing what he can and can't do in his first season in Pittsburgh? Ray isn't buying into Kirk Cousins being a real option. Ray thinks the Steelers could even give Rodgers a raise if he comes back in 2026. Michael Pittman Jr. was Ray's choice of ‘best move' made by the Steelers so far in the new league year. Ray isn't ruling out a Calvin Austin return if he agrees to a deal for under $5M/year. Ray believes the next notable WR move is made in the draft. There was a report the other night that the Steelers signed Brock Hoffman to fill a void on the interior of the offensive line, but it was quickly scrubbed and there has been nothing since. Spencer Anderson is the leader in the clubhouse to be left guard, but Ray said there will be competition brought in via free agency or the draft. Ray will be at a dinner later with Mike Tomlin in attendance.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray could foresee Aaron Rodgers giving the Steelers an answer off-the-record like he did last year as this thing could string out for another year. Ray admitted that some of Rodgers' comments yesterday made the situation a little bit more ‘murky.' Ray doesn't expect this to be a question mark until June again this time around. Ray isn't sure how likely it is that any of the outside free agents would come in and be the Steelers QB. Ray talked about the chances Will Howard and Mason Rudolph have to steer the ship. Ray reminded the guys that they will not give Howard the keys without having seen him in any game action. The guys noted that Jacoby Brissett, despite a 1-11 record last season, had numbers eerily similar to Rodgers in 2025. Ray thinks Kenneth Gainwell will explore his market in free agency after winning team MVP. Chris gave Ray some WR names to pick from and he chose Romeo Doubs, thinking he'd be around $15M/year player. How much would the Steelers have to offer Calvin Austin to get him back? Ray said the versatility of Jalen Ramsey allows the Steelers to explore multiple avenues when it comes to the defensive backfield this offseason. Which WR is the best in this draft? Ray is surprised there wasn't more news around Carnell Tate running a 4.52 40-yard dash. Ray thinks WR is the first move the Steelers make on Monday, either via trade or free agency.

We are 1 day away from the NHL Trade Deadline as the surprise Penguins are all of the sudden a buyer. But how big of one? Will the Pens go after someone as notable as Vincent Trocheck? We may see Kyle Dubas take it slow and not go overboard, even though the Pens need center help. Shane Wright was a name we broached – a center with the Kraken that is freshly 22-years-old and had 44 points last season. What should the Penguins do with Evgeni Malkin? The guys think it only makes sense to re-sign Geno after the season if he plays well and helps this team make it to the playoffs. Did Kyle Dubas already have another plan in his mind about Malkin before the Penguins season played out? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray could foresee Aaron Rodgers giving the Steelers an answer off-the-record like he did last year as this thing could string out for another year. Ray admitted that some of Rodgers' comments yesterday made the situation a little bit more ‘murky.' Ray doesn't expect this to be a question mark until June again this time around.

Ray is surprised there wasn't more news around Carnell Tate running a 4.52 40-yard dash. Ray thinks WR is the first move the Steelers make on Monday, either via trade or free agency.

Mark Kaboly thinks there's a better chance that Patrick Queen is extended than cut. It's hard to tell who will be back for the Steelers with Mike McCarthy taking over. Mark would be a little bit surprised if Calvin Austin is back because he's going to hit free agency.

This is a very solid wide receiver class in the first round. Nick thinks the Steelers will sign a receiver and draft a receiver who can both start. He projects Calvin Austin to make $6-7 million per year and thinks Austin will be back as a WR4. Nick thinks Garrett Nussmeier or Drew Allar makes sense in the middle rounds.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani: This is a very solid wide receiver class in the first round. Nick Farabaugh thinks the No. 21 pick will be a wide receiver. Nick thinks Garrett Nussmeier or Drew Allar makes sense in the middle rounds. The Steelers could take a shot on a mid-round quarterback because they're going to have 11-12 picks and there are good prospects who will fall for various reasons.

Chris Carter joins the show to talk about Aaron Rodgers' bounce-back games this season and if we'll get another one on Sunday, what we can expect from Calvin Austin, if the Steelers can contain Derek Henry, if TJ Watt will play and what his snap count could look like, if Brandin Echols will be healthy enough to play, and more!

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joins the show for the first time in 2026. Talk about Rodgers comments if he would come back for another year. Calvin Austin looks to be on the road back and that may factor in receiver snap counts. High optimism on T.J Watt being in the lineup vs Baltimore. The continuing discussion around the future of Mike Tomlin & his thoughts on the upcoming AFC North showdown on Sunday.

Ed Troup and Jacob Recht debate the potential overreactions following Week 11 such as Roman Wilson deserves the number two spot over Calvin Austin, the secondary today is better than it was at the start of the season, and the AFC North crown will come down to Week 18 between the Ravens at the Steelers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo report from coach Mike Tomlin's news conference at the team's South Side facility ahead of an NFL Week 11 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium. Could Isaac Seumalo return to the lineup this week amid his injury? Will OC Arthur Smith focus on Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell and the running game more amid struggles in the passing game? Has Roman Wilson earned more opportunity with DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin struggling to make magic with QB Aaron Rodgers? When will tight ends like Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith get more involved in the offense? And how is Tomlin assessing his re-made safety group of Kyle Dugger and Jalen Ramsey? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Mark Kaboly said that Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson are not far off from Jakobi Meyers. Aaron Rodgers said there was probably more noise outside the facility about adding a No. 2 WR. Marquez Valdes-Scantling said Aaron Rodgers is the reason he is with the Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger called out the Steelers for giving him converted guard Kendrick Green at center.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Mark Kaboly said that Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson are not far off from Jakobi Meyers. Marquez Valdes-Scantling said Aaron Rodgers is the reason he is with the Steelers. Alex Highsmith was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Arturs Silovs will start against the Capitals. Should the Pirates sign JT Realmuto? Joe and Austin think he could be a Russell Martin type.

-If the Steelers still need to get a QB in this upcoming draft, which ones should they now circle? The season has gone south for so many high-end college QBs that the conversation has now changed. The 4 names – Ty Simpson (Alabama), Dante Moore (Oregon), Fernando Mendoza (Indiana) and Sam Leavitt (Arizona State). What do we like about these guys? – Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. The guys discuss DeMarvin Leal getting released, as well as the team's chances of snatching Jakobi Meyers, and if they would've been able to sign him for 2026 and beyond. Does the team not acquiring an outside receiving candidate at the deadline mean more opportunities for Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson? – Total Request Thursday

Does the team not acquiring an outside receiving candidate at the deadline mean more opportunities for Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson?

Poni says that he's impressed by the way that Aaron Rodgers will criticize himself and the offense, even after wins. The Steelers spread out the offense more than they usually do yesterday, and Calvin Austin took advantage. Aaron Rodgers was likely unhappy with Roman Wilson's fumble in the fourth quarter. Mullsy was not a fan of the offense's performance yesterday, as they averaged under 4 yards per play.

Mullsy was not a fan of the offense's performance yesterday, as they averaged under 4 yards per play. Callers voice their opinions on the game yesterday. PIT-IND Game Balls – Payton Wilson, Alex Highsmith, Kyle Dugger.

Jeff thinks the Packers game means a lot to Aaron Rodgers, but he's not going to say that publically. Flights from Green Bay are $1,100 and Packers fans are trying to get to the game. Calvin Austin will be back for the Steelers. Zach Frazier was limited with a calf injury and is a question.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Joe has Mullsy muted on Twitter! Aaron Rodgers knows his Pittsburgh history. Rodgers said it's special that iconic players stay in Pittsburgh. Jeff thinks the Packers game means a lot to Aaron Rodgers, but he's not going to say that publicly. Calvin Austin will be back for the Steelers. Zach Frazier was limited with a calf injury and is a question. Teryl Austin was emphatic that the Steelers have to stop the run.

Jalen Ramsey can move around the defense and Mark compared him to Troy Polamalu, in a way. Mark thinks Tee Higgins will be followed around by Joey Porter Jr. Mark would be stunned if Calvin Austin plays on Thursday. Mark thinks the Steelers win around 30-14 and win easily.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Nick likes the Steelers to win Sunday. Is it worth betting on Jaylen Warren's props? Lamar Jackson didn't practice again and the Ravens have a tough battle against the LA Rams. Should the Steelers trade for AJ Brown? Jalen Ramsey and Calvin Austin likely will not play Sunday.

Philadelphia had a bad day. Lamar Jackson didn't practice again and the Ravens have a tough battle against the LA Rams. Should the Steelers trade for AJ Brown? Jalen Ramsey and Calvin Austin likely will not play Sunday. Should Penguins fans be more focused on Gavin McKenna?

Jeff thinks Alex Highsmith, Joey Porter Jr. and Jaylen Warren will play on Sunday. Calvin Austin and Jalen Ramsey haven't really taken the steps they've needed to be good to go. Mason Heintschel has a good confidence too him and revitalized his high school team. Tristan Jarry starts for the Penguins in the home opener tonight.

Mark Kaboly thinks Browns-Steelers will go down to the wire. The Steelers run defense is going to be tested against a good Browns run game. Mark doesn't think Calvin Austin will play in the Browns OR Bengals games. He thinks this is Roman Wilson's opportunity. It will be a known name if they get someone.

Is it worth it for the Steelers to play injured players like Jaylen Warren, Calvin Austin, and Jalen Ramsey and rush them back for Cleveland and Cincinnati? Joe thinks the Steelers must win both.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: The Mike Tomlin Press Conference. Is it worth it for the Steelers to play injured players like Jaylen Warren, Calvin Austin, and Jalen Ramsey and rush them back for Cleveland and Cincinnati? Joe thinks the Steelers must win both.

Roman Wilson only played three snaps against the Vikings. Calvin Austin was hurt and Wilson still didn't see the field more than three times. The Steelers did frequently use two and three tight ends.

Ray thinks Roman Wilson is eventually going to get an opportunity, but Aaron Rodgers trusts Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek. Ray doesn't expect the Steelers to add a wide receiver at this point. "They like Calvin Austin as a No. 2 receiver."

Hour 2 with Donny Football: Ray doesn't expect the Steelers to add a wide receiver at this point. "They like Calvin Austin as a No. 2 receiver." Jakobi Meyers for a mid-round pick would make some sense, but Ray thinks adding another big mouth to feed is difficult for Arthur Smith. This is a must win game for Pitt against a down Boston College team. Eli Holstein earns a C+ or C- from Stephen's report.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 1 player props podcast. The NFL Player Props Podcast for Week 1 opens with Munaf Manji reintroducing the show and welcoming back co-host SleepyJ. After reflecting on last year's success, they dive directly into their picks, bringing a mix of analysis, history, and betting strategy designed to help listeners find winning positions across quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end props . At the quarterback spot, SleepyJ targets Patriots rookie Drake May to eclipse 214.5 passing yards. He cites May's solid rookie season, the addition of Stephon Diggs, and the Raiders' poor secondary as key factors. Munaf counters with a contrarian angle, backing Cam Ward under 192.5 passing yards in his NFL debut with Denver's elite defense looming. The contrast underscores their method of evaluating matchups through historical data and roster changes. Moving to running backs, SleepyJ highlights Jaguars back Tank Bigsby over 43.5 yards, projecting a breakout year with a favorable matchup against Carolina's porous run defense. Munaf selects Bucky Irving of Tampa Bay to break a run over 15.5 yards, citing his explosive track record and increased role due to wide receiver injuries. Together, they emphasize opportunity, usage, and defensive weakness as central handicapping factors. On receivers, SleepyJ leans on Steelers slot man Calvin Austin over 23.5 yards, predicting Aaron Rodgers' quick-release style will funnel targets his way. Munaf rides Jacksonville again, taking Brian Thomas Jr. over 74.5 yards, supported by his late-season surge and Carolina's ongoing struggles. This section showcases their focus on quarterback tendencies, depth chart shifts, and defensive matchups. Tight ends follow with SleepyJ playing Giants rookie Theo Johnson over 23.5 yards, linking Russell Wilson's historical reliance on tight ends to Johnson's breakout potential. Munaf builds on the Browns' passing game, touting David Njoku over 49.5 yards given Joe Flacco's chemistry with him in 2023. Their analysis highlights veteran quarterback tendencies and undervalued lines. The best bet for Week 1 ties these threads together: Joe Flacco over 241.5 passing yards against the Bengals. Both agree that Cleveland's passing attack matches well against Cincinnati's suspect defense and that Flacco's recent numbers support laddering yardage bets. They predict an up-tempo game script with plenty of volume, positioning Flacco as one of the week's most appealing prop plays. Interspersed throughout are plugs for Pregame.com promotions, including the Kickoff25 code, free contests, and a detailed newsletter packed with picks across NFL, college football, and even UFC. The hosts remind listeners that consistency, preparation, and disciplined play are essential to finding value across the board. In closing, they stress that the podcast will remain a weekly feature, giving bettors time to digest picks before kickoff. The tone mixes entertainment with sharp handicapping, balancing statistical depth with accessible explanations. By covering rookies, veterans, and team-specific matchups, the show establishes itself as a go-to source for player prop insights heading into Week 1 . This transcript captures a structured breakdown of betting value across every key offensive position, while reinforcing themes of matchup analysis, historical precedent, and market timing. For fans and bettors alike, it offers a blend of strategy, insight, and practical plays to launch the NFL season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
