TK questioned if Mitch Marner would be the right move for the Penguins.

Terry Bradshaw blasted Aaron Rodgers on an Arkansas radio station. He thinks it's a joke that the Steelers are playing this game with a guy they will have for one season. Poni brought up QBs that started seasons at 41-years-old and how they fared in those seasons. Spoiler alert – it wasn't pretty for anyone outside of Tom Brady, who is the only one of four QBs to have success at that age. Poni thinks Bradshaw knows about 2 big things when it comes to QBs – aging bodies and playing well in big games. Will the Steelers host a playoff game in 2025?

Mike Sullivan is officially the new head coach of the New York Rangers. The reported contract will be the richest in NHL history. What do we make of Sullivan's legacy in Pittsburgh? We debated if Sullivan will be viewed as a rival now that he's within the division. There was credit given to Kyle Dubas for acknowledging that it was time to move on even if it means Sullivan can have success elsewhere.

NHL writer Sean Gentille from The Athletic joined the show. Sean gave his reaction to the Mike Sullivan firing in Pittsburgh and hiring in New York, with the Rangers. Sean gave his take on the job being done by Kyle Dubas so far. How did the Sullivan split happen, was it a mutual agreement or was it one-sided? Sean doesn't think either side of the partnership was super happy with the recent results. When it comes to the Penguins search, Sean doesn't think we find an answer anytime soon, possibly ranging a month or so.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to a busy week in Pittsburgh sports news. How much pressure is on Steelers coach Mike Tomlin following the firing of the Penguins' Mike Sullivan? Will he face expectations to win in 2025, after GM Omar Khan decided to keep names like George Pickens and T.J. Watt rather than trade them for future draft capital? And amid the likely signing of veteran Aaron Rodgers? Or will get get a chance to coach the team in 2026, when it holds 10 draft picks and may be able to seek its QB of the future, with names like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, LaNorris Sellers and Nico Iamaleava likely coming out of the college ranks? Later, the guys tackle the Penguins' new direction without Sullivan. What changed for GM Kyle Dubas between last year and this year, given the reality that expectations for 2024-25 were low? Could a new coach jolt the team like Dan Bylsma did in 2009 or Sullivan did in 2016 to spark Stanley Cup runs from Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang? How much runway does Kyle Dubas have to turn the Penguins into contenders? And is the perception of Sidney Crosby's involvement in front office moves fit reality? Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, our duo analyzes the continued lack of results in the win-loss column despite some improvement offensively. Is this just a bad team, even if it continues to show some improvement? What does that mean for GM Ben Cherington and manager Derek Shelton in owner Bob Nutting's eyes? Is Enmanuel Valdez a useful player? Or only looking good by comparison? And how will things shake out in the rotation with Bubba Chandler becoming hard to deny in the minors, Jared Jones on the mend and Carmen Mlodzinski still struggling after the first time through opposing batting orders?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to give his thoughts on the Steelers, the NFL draft, the end of the Penguins' season and the Pirates' West Coast road trip.

And where do QBs Sheduer Sanders and Jaxson Dart fit into that conversation? Later, the duo reacts to Penguins GM Kyle Dubas appearing to signal in post-season comments Tuesday that he's looking more toward 2026-27 than next season in terms of competing meaningfully in the Eastern Conference. Is he being too passive with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang on the roster? How aggressively should he shop in NHL free agency this summer? Or move bad contracts owed to Tristan Jarry, Erik Karlsson and Ryan Graves? And where does coach Mike Sullivan figure into all of it? Then finally, in a segment airing on the Post-Gazette's Pirates YouTube channel, the guys react to Andrew McCutchen's angst about his playing time.
