February 5 – Ep. 90: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and I discuss the Ben Roethlisberger-Joey Porter Sr. drama with allegations of the legendary quarterback being a bad teammate. We talk about the podcast era and some of the negative repercussions of everybody having a voice with incentives to draw clicks and eyeballs. Next, we talk about the various QB options the Steelers have this offseason if Aaron Rodgers decides not to return. Will they go with a veteran like Kyler Murray or Joe Flacco, or could they draft a top quarterback like Ty Simpson? For the last topic, we go through my first mock draft, including an interesting trade discussion for the 2026 NFL Draft. To end the show, we answer a listener question about Jalen Ramsey. Thank you for joining us for this 41-minute episode, and we hope to see your thoughts in the comment section.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to discuss potential winners and losers in the transition between former coach Mike Tomlin's staff to new coach Mike McCarthy's. Could Pat Freiermuth finally see an elevated role at tight end, given McCarthy's success at the position elsewhere? Will he see more targets not only relative to fellow tight ends Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington but other receivers and backs as well? Will McCarthy find ways to use DK Metcalf more effectively? And could an interest in finding a viable No. 2 receiver like USC's Makai Lemon in the NFL draft potentially help in that pursuit? And could Jaylen Warren find better opportunities in the running game in McCarthy is able to open up the pass game more relative to former OC Arthur Smith? Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes which names may lose prominence. Will Derrick Harmon still be seen as a key piece of the future and the heir to Cam Heyward's role along the defensive line? Or could a coaching change disrupt his development? Will Patrick Queen retain his role as the signal caller of the defense? Or could his contract price him out of that role under new DC Patrick Graham? With other linebackers like Payton Wilson and Cole Holcomb in the fold? And what is Jalen Ramsey's future in the secondary? Are the Steelers willing to pay him elite DB money for an uncertain role? Or could the new staff prefer to build around younger players like Joey Porter Jr. and invest Ramsey's big salary elsewhere? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to ponder the team's decision at QB in 2025. Did GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make the wrong call in pursuing Aaron Rodgers over Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl winner Sam Darnold? Could Darnold have replicated his championship success with the Steelers, surrounded by big names like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Jalen Ramsey? Or was Rodgers still the right choice to get the most out of an offense that included names like DK Metcalf, Kenneth Gainwell, Jaylen Warren, Roman Wilson, Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Calvin Austin III? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the future of Drake Maye and the Super Bowl-losing Patriots in the AFC. Will they become a dominant force in the conference again? Or were there vulnerabilities shown in the big game a sign that the conference remains wide open moving forward if new coach Mike McCarthy can shake things up as new Patriots coach Mike Vrabel did?

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Brian Batko: Brian wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers picked a defensive lineman in the first round but would be, right now, with an offensive lineman. There are things to like about Will Howard because of how he goes about his business. Brian has heard good things about Brian Angelichio at OC and Kevin O'Connell appreciated his input to make him a pass-game coordinator.
Bob and Brian discuss Pitt hosting Duke tonight and past Pitt-Duke memories throughout the years. Aaron Rodgers is likely coming back and would rule out any interesting veterans. The Steelers have been looking for a quarterback for years and the years they haven't is where there have been multiple QBs. in the draft. The options for Jalen Ramey and the Steelers.
In this clip from the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bitner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to the Seattle Seahawks' victory in the Super Bowl. Did Sam Darnold show that GM Omar Khan and new coach Mike McCarthy can win big with free agent QBs? Could 2026 free agents like Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson, Malik Willis or Mitch Trubisky repeat Darnold's success? Or was he a unique option for Seattle last offseason? And how should Darnold's victory impact the view the Steelers should have of in-house options like Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph and Will Howard? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Later, the guys react to the way Seattle won with elite defense and a strong running game. Can McCarthy and new coordinators Patrick Graham and Brian Angelichio mimic that success? Why haven't the Steelers been able to play great defense consistently under former coach Mike Tomlin with top talents like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Jalen Ramsey on the roster? Does GM Omar Khan need to been up his secondary around Joey Porter Jr. with more elite players like Devon Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori? And are Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell and/or Kaleb Johnson capable of a big-game performance like we saw from the Seahawks' Kenneth Walker III? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl victory and wonders if the Steelers got it right in hiring Mike McCarthy as Mike Tomlin's replacement. Will McCarthy's offensive background improve the Steelers enough overall after many years of struggles in that area? Or will they regret breaking tradition and passing on a young defensive mind like Mike McDonald or Chris Shula? How far are T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and their unit from replicating the dominance the Seattle defense showed? And is the NFL trending more toward the Seahawks model? Or that of Sean McVay and the Rams. Or Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers? Paul tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes former Dallas receiver and current podcast Jesse Holley to get his perspective on the hiring of Mike McCarthy. Why didn't things work out for the Super Bowl-winning coach with one of the league's storied franchises? Are there lessons that can be learned from falling short with stars like Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb that McCarthy can translate to leading Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt, DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and -- possibly -- Aaron Rodgers? And how much can he improve on former OC Arthur Smith's work with the offense? Our duo tackles those questions, plus George Pickens' big year with his new team after the Steelers traded him away last offseason. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to analyze the NFL draft QB class following Chris's trip to the Senior Bowl last week. How does the Steelers' Will Howard compare to guys expected to be available on Days 2 and 3? Is he clearly a better option than names like Garrett Nussmeier, Drew Allar, Cade Klubnik, Carson Beck, Sawyer Robertson and others? Or could one of those guys offer value over him as he competes with Mason Rudolph and -- possibly -- Aaron Rodgers for positioning on new coach Mike McCarthy's depth chart? Where's the ideal spot on the depth chart for Howard if GM Omar Khan gets his offseason moves right? And why do so many fans have such resolute faith in the former sixth-round pick? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders Khan's trade options this offseason. How seriously should he consider moving on from Jalen Ramsey, given the corner/safety's hefty cap hit? Is he worthy of making the money Minkah Fitzpatrick did at the position? Could the team get by with names like DeShon Elliott, Chuck Clark, Jabrill Peppers and Kyle Dugger in that spot? Or should it consider drafting a safety like Caleb Downs or Bud Clark to fill the void at a cheaper price? The later, the guys ponder how to handle the Steelers' array of draft picks. Should Khan hold onto all 12 with the goal of building his team's depth? Or should he trade up, even if it's not for a QB? Knowing that it's unlikely he could keep all of the picks on the 53-man roster and that impact talents like USC's Makai Lemon at WR could be available? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise ponders how new Steelers coach Mike McCarthy stacks up against the nine other coaches hired in this cycle. Is he the best of the big names changing teams? A group that includes the Giants' John Harbaugh, the Falcons' Kevin Stefanski and the Titans' Robert Saleh? Do first-time coaches like Ravens' Jesse Minter, the Raiders' Klint Kubiak, the Bills' Joe Brady and the Cardinals' Mike LaFleur offer more sizzle? And was McCarthy the best fit of anyone actually hired this cycle, now that reported candidates Nate Scheelhaase and Chris Shula have been shut out of head coaching gigs? Paul tackles those questions and more as McCarthy looks to get more from a roster that includes stars like T.J. Watt, DK Metcalf, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and -- possibly -- Aaron Rodgers.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo discuss Chris's first mock draft of the season following his visit to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. over the weekend. Should coach Mike McCarthy and GM Omar Khan get aggressive at wide receiver given the depth of this class? How could names like Makai Lemon and Malachi Fields fit in the receivers room alongside names like DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson? Is Miami's Keionte Scott a potential fit alongside Joey Porter Jr. at CB? And why does Chris like prospects including safety Bud Clark, guard Beau Stephens and quarterback Cole Payton alongside veterans like Jalen Ramsey, Mason McCormick, Mason Rudolph and Will Howard? Our duo tackles those questions, plus Scott Tolzien's OC candidacy. Does he have the experience necessary to thrive in the role? Especially with McCarthy likely retaining playcalling duties? Could his game plans get the most out of names like Jaylen Warren, DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson and others? Especially with the young offensive line that includes names like Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu, Broderick Jones and Mason McCormick maturing? Or are there valid reasons for concern, especially with the future at QB uncertain? Could Tolzien succeed with Aaron Rodgers, Will Howard or Mason Rudolph? And how would the former quarterback help in terms of development should the Steelers look at names like Ty Simpson, Drew Allar, Garrett Nussmeier and Kade Clubnik in the NFL draft? 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.
On the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to analyze the next moves in front of new coach Mike McCarthy now that he's been introduced. Can anyone from outside the Mike Tomlin and Bill Cowher coaching tree really coach the defense the same way after McCarthy's commitment to keep the 3-4 scheme in place for now? Does that decision open the door for Teryl Austin to return? Or will he give way to reported candidates including Jason Simmons and Patrick Graham as the franchise looks to get more from a unit led by names like Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey and Joey Porter Jr.? Our duo tackles those questions, then pivots to offense. Will McCarthy cultivate a larger staff that Tomlin did under coordinators including Arthur Smith and Matt Canada? Opening space for younger coaches to rise through the ranks? Or will he try to keep the circle tight? Will he choose an OC from his own coaching tree, which includes reported candidates like Scott Tolzien and Lunda Wells? Or could he look outside at a name like Nate Scheelhaase, should the Browns decide not to target him in their own coaching search? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise to react to news that the Steelers are hiring Mike McCarthy as coach to replace Mike Tomlin. This show is presented by FanDuel. Were owner Art Rooney II and GM Omar Khan right to go with the veteran coach, who won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers before a stint with the Dallas Cowboys? Should they have waited for younger candidates on their reported list that included Chris Shula and Nate Scheelhaase of the NFC championship-bound Los Angeles Rams? Or Anthony Weaver of the Houston Texans? What role did McCarthy's hometown ties play into the decision? What might we expect his staff choices to be? And how will the hiring be greeted by the roster led by Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and more? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

On the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko ponder the attractiveness of the team's roster for prospective coaching candidates including Chris Shula, Nate Scheelhaase, Mike McCarthy, Anthony Weaver and others. Could the presence of aging stars like Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey and others dissuade coaches looking to start fresh? Or does the young core led by Joey Porter Jr., Derrick Harmon, Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu, Broderick Jones, Nick Herbig and DK Metcalf give whomever the next coach turns out to be plenty to mold compared to some of the other open coaching jobs? Our duo tackles those topics, then reflects on coach Sean McDermott's ouster with the Buffalo Bills. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise gives his thoughts on the attractiveness of the Steelers' coaching job following the departure of Mike Tomlin. Will owner Art Rooney II and GM Omar Khan have an easy time attracting top candidates because of the loyalty they the organization has shown to Tomlin, Bill Cowher and Chuck Noll over the years? Or will the restlessness of the fan base -- even on a successful coach like Tomlin -- dissuade some candidates from pursuing the opening? And what kind of impact will the roster have on interest levels? Do stars like T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Heyward, DK Metcalf and Jaylen Warren make this team one someone can win quickly with? Or does it need more younger standouts like Joey Porter Jr., Derrick Harmon, Nick Herbig, Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick and Troy Fautanu? Paul tackles those questions and more.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to assess Aaron Rodgers' play at QB this year. Does he deserve the "inconsistent" label after his latest performance against the Browns? Can his personnel plausibly be blamed with DK Metcalf absent?

Recorded Aug 6, 2019 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, we’re throwing it all the way back to Season 1 of Bussin’ With The Boys when Will Compton and Taylor Lewan had Jalen Ramsey hop on the bus. Ramsey and the boys cover everything—from sliding into opposing wide receivers’ girlfriends’ DMs in college to get inside their heads, internet trolls, and elite-level trash talk on the field. Jalen also reacts to Taylor’s wild go-to trash talk line, breaks down his rivalry with the Titans, his beef with Taylor Lewan, life in Jacksonville, conversations after his rookie contract, aliens, and his obsession with Rihanna. It’s unfiltered, hilarious, and peak early-season Bussin’ energy with one of the most confident personalities in the league. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RUNDOWN We're celebrating the start of Year 8 of Mitch Unfiltered! Mitch checks in from Las Vegas—oddly with zero urge to gamble—while Hotshot breaks down his old roulette system and the painful bad beat that once drove him out of Vegas for years. Mitch and Hotshot geek out over the new Eddie Murphy documentary, then Mitch tells his favorite 10-seconds-of-fame story — yelling a deep-cut sketch line to Murphy at a 1985 stand-up show and getting singled out from the stage. They pivot to the Seahawks' 30–24 "no-win" win in Nashville, weighing how worried to be about letting a 30–10 lead shrink, while marveling at Jaxon Smith-Njigba's obscene pace (already breaking the single-season franchise yardage mark in 11 games) and explaining why Rams-Bucs, common opponents, and divisional records mean Seattle may need both a win over the 49ers and help from the lowly Cardinals to take the NFC West. Steve Phillips joins Mitch to unpack Seattle's near–World Series run — from Julio Rodríguez's late-season surge to the Game 7 choices that doomed the Mariners, including pulling George Kirby too early and avoiding Andrés Muñoz in the highest-leverage spot. He explains why modern analytics can mislead managers, why Aaron Judge rightfully edged Cal Raleigh for MVP despite East Coast conspiracy theories, and why extending Josh Naylor was the right call even if the back-end years sting. Brady and Jacson join Mitch to break down Seattle's 30–24 win over the Titans — a game that was far closer than it should've been against the NFL's worst roster. They dissect the defensive lapses (two long late TD drives, missed tackles, fatigue), Sam Darnold's clean but risky performance (a couple near-picks, heavy JSN dependence), and a quietly emerging run game anchored by Walker and Charbonnet. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to reset the entire college football landscape heading into rivalry week — from Washington's shot at a season-defining upset over Oregon to the seismic consequences of an eight-win finish versus nine. He breaks down the transfer-portal era attrition at programs like UCLA, the SEC's multi-team playoff math (with Alabama's "brand advantage"), and why chaos in Austin, Baton Rouge, and Oxford could reshape the playoff bracket if Lane Kiffin jumps jobs before December 3rd.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock discusses how the Dallas Cowboys played last night and showed signs of life against the Los Angeles Raiders. While there would typically be chatter about the game and its implications for the season, social media remains fixated on Shedeur Sanders. Whitlock likens Sanders to a black Tim Tebow in the way he overshadows the NFL and also analogizes him to late rapper Tupac Shakur. Former NFL quarterback Danny Kanell joins the show to discuss Shedeur Sanders' debut for the Browns last weekend and makes predictions about him starting in Cleveland's upcoming game against the Raiders. Whitlock and Kanell also discuss Ja'Marr Chase being suspended for one game for spitting on Jalen Ramsey; Michael Penix suffering another injury that could be the fifth to end his season in eight years; Seth Joyner hinting that the Eagles might over their heads with Jalen Hurts at QB; Virginia Tech hiring James Franklin; whether Ole Miss Coach Lane Kiffin is a true difference-maker; and Bomani Jones being outraged by the Texas A&M state trooper incident and tying it to police brutality.

Today's word of the day is ‘projecting' as in Ja'Marr Chase as in Jalen Ramsey as in the Bengals and as in the Steelers. Jalen Ramsey was ejected from the Steelers win after punching Chase in the helmet. And after the game Ramsey said he was spit on. Chase said he didn't spit. But what does the video say? (10:30) Shedeur Sanders got his first career NFL action on Sunday. Dillon Gabriel left the game with a concussion and in comes Sanders against the Ravens. It did not go well. (17:00) Eagles and Lions was a hard watch. The main thing was how was AJ Brown going to play. He got the targets. He made some impact. But it was the defense that came up big stopping the Lions.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock discusses Shedeur Sanders' disastrous debut for the Cleveland Browns and unpacks the reasons Sanders and other black athletes, such as Colin Kaepernick, are championed, explaining that members of the sports media are conditioned to choose their heroes based on who white people dislike. Whitlock breaks down how white people are blamed for all black failure and how black-girl magic is credited with all black success. He illustrates his point with examples of prominent people caping for Shedeur and Shedeur himself begging for applause. Whitlock also lists his 10 NFL Truths of the week, covering everything from the league's officiating crisis and Jonathan Taylor and Saquon Barkley being the best running backs in the league to the poor record of black quarterbacks and more. Steve Kim and T.J. Moe join the show to discuss Sanders' failure; the NFL's officiating crisis and how gambling accentuates the crisis; Ja'Marr Chase spitting on Jalen Ramsey; how crazy Whitlock is for not giving up on the Miami Dolphins; a Texas state trooper being relieved of his game-day duties after he bumped into some South Carolina players and pointed at them, evidently to scold them; and Bill Belichick sparking criticism for his postgame behavior with Wake Forest's coach.
