Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Tyler Kennedy: TK would 100% trade Sergei Murashov and a first-round pick for Robertson. It's an interesting question if the Penguins should buy this year. We miss Penguins trade rumors and big-time deals when they were good! Do the Penguins owe it to Sid and Malkin to make that trade and go for it?

We assess where the Steelers stand with Mike McCarthy as their head coach. They have been living in a land of high-end mediocrity for years. Joe thinks other than Giants fans, other fan bases aren't jumping for joy with their hire. Joe doesn't think Chris Shula is going to get a job. Should the Steelers have hosted more coaches?

"What is this guy doing?" - Joe Starkey on Art Rooney II hiring Mike McCarthy. Joe says Rooney was comfortable running it back with Mike Tomlin and he is, just the last names changed. The man that predicted the hire, Mark Kaboly, hops on with Mullsy. Nostraboly says that he got about a 10 minute heads up that this was happening. He says that if the Steelers get a good quarterback for the future but struggle doing so, it is still a win in Kaboom's eyes.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Donny wants Chris Shula to be the Steelers next head coach. If Shula gets the job, will Nate Scheelhaase be the offensive coordinator? Joe thinks it's very relevant that Gerry Dulac reported Scheelhaase blew the Steelers away in their meeting. Joe thinks the Penguins should absolutely be a buyer at the trade deadline. PiratesFest is severely impacted by the weather.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Brian Baldinger said on his podcast that the Steelers are very interested in Mario Cristobal. Baldinger has told Poni and Mueller that he and Andy Weidl are friends and we wonder about the Steelers' interest in the Miami head coach. Joe thinks the Steelers are going to go with the guy who blows them away in the interviews. Donny thinks Weaver is the next betting favorite after the Rams coaches.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Ray Fittipaldo would trade Jalen Ramsey and cut Patrick Queen. Ray doesn't think the Steelers can pay Ramsey $17 million to be a safety. Ray hasn't heard anything about Mario Cristobal and has been quiet. Ray thinks that Anthony Weaver is "a serious candidate" for the Steelers head coaching job. The most important numbers to look back on during the 2025 season.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Art Rooney II said Mike stepped down for family reasons, but Mike told the team he wants it to be better for them to win. Tomlin was basically saying he couldn't get it done for the team. Mark Kaboly didn't see signs of burnout. The Steelers are going to interview Nate Scheelhaase, Chris Shula, and Jeff Hafley in the next two days. Steelers need to hire the RIGHT coach not just one that fits their build as a defensive coordinator.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Packers reporter Dominique Yates of the Journal Sentinel in Wisconsin joined the show. Packers DC Jeff Hafley is interviewing with the Steelers this weekend for head coach. Both Hafley and Parsons being injured contributed to the Packers defensive struggles late in the season.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: This week's bet against Nick Kostos - Joe and Donny think the Texans are going to beat the Patriots. Nick loves the Patriots and Drake Maye. Nick thinks it's a no-brainer to hire Brian Flores as the head coach. MLB needs to have a salary cap and floor with ANOTHER example with Tucker and Dodgers. Mike Tomlin received a standing ovation from Steelers players in the team meeting.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Ray Fittipaldo wonders how much the fire Tomlin chants, booing Renegade, and the lack of playoff wins wore on Tomlin. There are no goodbye sendoffs like Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher to say goodbye. Ray thinks there's a 50% chance that Cam Heyward retires. Tomlin told the team it was a football decision, but Art said it was a family decision for Tomlin.

Joe Starkey is all aboard the Steelers train going into the playoffs. This is a different team than it has been the last five years. Rodgers is very comfortable in the Steelers offense and calling his own plays at the line. The throws to Pat Freiermuth and Adam Thielen in stride were impressive, even more so for an older quarterback.
