Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark told us about his days on the Pirates beat. Instead of telling us if a guy was a bad guy, he just called them ‘interesting.' Mark said there is “no way” Aaron Rodgers was coming out of a Strip District hotel this morning. Mark took a guess at when Rodgers is here. Mark chatted with Mason Rudolph earlier this week, but Mason couldn't say for sure when Rodgers is showing up – they are all just assuming. We also spent some time talking about the Harry Callas political run that fell just shy of a chair seat in Green Tree. More w/ Mark – Mark reacted to Booger McFarland claiming the Steelers are ‘taking years' off the life of their defense. Mark does not think the veterans are upset with Mason Rudolph or will be upset with him if he ends up being the QB. He said the team should be upset at the succession plan since Ben Roethlisberger retired. Mark said we haven't seen Mason work with Arthur Smith or his offense – and added that Aaron Rodgers would want a lot of control. Would Smith have preferred Justin Fields at QB? Mark isn't worried about Cam Heyward or TJ Watt sitting out any practices. More w/ Mark – Poni asked Mark why he was looking up Donny's highlights earlier this week. Does Mark buy into any of the conspiracy theories that Joe Rogan may have talked to Aaron Rodgers about? Did Mark have any other tea on George Pickens following his departure?

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Where does Mark zero-out on Mike Tomlin entering his 19th season? Mark applauded the Steelers a bit for ‘rebuilding' seasons still netting them 8 to 9 wins per season. Mark thinks the next couple of years have to lead to ‘significant' runs. Mark thinks Art Rooney is a future HOFer and would be the deciding factor in ending things with Tomlin down the road, not Tomlin making the choice himself. Mark said Rooney has been a major factor in pushing the Steelers to a more digital age. Chris and Mark talked about some of the lack of on-field evolution from Tomlin and the Steelers in recent years. More w/ Mark – Mark defended his stance on why he thinks Art Rooney II will eventually be a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The draft became the discussion point and what the Steelers did following the Derrick Harmon selection. How much different will Kaleb Johnson be in the backfield opposed to Najee Harris? Mark mentioned something Arthur Smith said about Najee last week. Chris asked Mark about the Steelers going with an edge rusher in Jack Sawyer in the 4th round. Was Shedeur Sanders on the Steelers draft board, or was he on it at all? Mark wants people to slow the roll with Will Howard becoming a star. At pick 185, it's fine if Howard is a long-term backup that doesn't get a ton of snaps during the offseason. More w/ Mark – Power Rankings.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark also had the Steelers selecting Derrick Harmon, so he is taking a victory lap today. The guys talked about the differing opinions when it came to the mock drafts leading up to the 21st pick with so many names expecting the Steelers to pick Shedeur Sanders. There was an agreement that ESPN went to pretty embarrassing levels to shill for Sanders last night. The conversation then shifted to the 83rd pick and if Sanders is still there. Mark speculated on the order of importance for the Steelers if Harmon wasn't on the board for them at 21. Mark is still adamant that Aaron Rodgers is a done deal. Mark didn't buy into any of the Kirk Cousins news or rumors that the Steelers had interest. Mark gave quite the interesting QB name to look out for in the draft. More w/ Mark – Mark thinks the Steelers would have moved George Pickens already if he asked for a trade. The guys asked Mark how much of an issue it could be for the Steelers and Pickens if he goes into a lame duck season. More w/ Mark – Mark thinks pick 83 is RB and hopefully one of the Ohio State guys, although he admitted that is wishful thinking. Mark thinks DJ Giddens is a real option and mentioned why there are some fumble concerns with a few guys. Could the Steelers really be looking at edge rusher tonight? Mark suggested the Steelers would ‘sprint' to the podium for Jalen Milroe if he's there at 83. Mark expects the Steelers to pick another DL this weekend.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from the Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark reacted to the Aaron Rodgers interview that aired yesterday on the Pat McAfee Show. Mark said he thought Rodgers sounded very believable in what he said. Mark still believes that Rodgers wants to play for the Steelers. He said the Steelers still feel very confident that Rodgers will end up here. Mark said that he doesn't think this was their original plan and that it was likely bringing Justin Fields back. Mark doesn't see going with Mason Rudolph in the interim as a terrible thing. More w/ Mark – Mark said he has not heard that Shedeur Sanders bombed his interview with the Steelers like a few have reported. Mark's opinion is that the Steelers will work their way back into the 2nd round next week. Mark got the sense that the Steelers will not be trading George Pickens. The guys debated when Jaxson Dart would get drafted. Mark feels like Derrick Harmon is their pick if he's there. Mark would not cross off Omarion Hampton in the 1st round. Mark ranked the Steelers offensive lineman going into next season. More w/ Mark – We spent a few minutes talking about Easter food. Poni took Mark through the last decade of Steelers 1st round picks, which only produced TJ Watt as a ‘hit.' Mark's prediction is that Derrick Harmon will be the player chosen at 21st overall.

Michael Thomas | 04.13.25 | Fellowship North

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. We started talking about how we wipe our asses, depending on the time and place. The guys recapped the Pat McAfee event the other night. We got Mark onto the TJ Watt story and he said Watt wants more than Myles Garrett – period. Mark thinks it's ridiculous to suggest trading Watt. Mark thinks the best years are still ahead of Watt. What else could be the details holding up a Watt payday? More w/ Mark – Mark gave his latest on Aaron Rodgers. The guys talked about road trips and the various fun places that Mark hates. More w/ Mark – JJ Watt told Pat McAfee last season that the Steelers shouldn't wait around on paying TJ Watt or else the price will only go up. Why wasn't Andrew McCutchen invited to the McAfee show? Mark admitted to failing algebra 4 times. Mark said he met up with a few players after the event.

Michael Thomas | 03.23.25 | Fellowship North

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark reacted to the latest on Aaron Rodgers, who came and went to Pittsburgh without a deal. Mark isn't surprised Rodgers didn't put pen to paper today. Is it weird that Rodgers didn't meet with Art Rooney during his meeting? Mark tried to describe what a chat between Rodgers and Rooney would be like. The guys discussed what Mike Tomlin could have had on his docket for Rodgers. Mark thinks Rodgers may just go back to Malibu and walk the beach after this because he is in no hurry. Will Rodgers get more than Sam Darnold got from Seattle? Mark gave his thoughts on Rodgers waiting this out all summer and possibly missing out on a team entirely. How much power will Rodgers want if he is signed? More w/ Mark – Mark shared some of the best high school basketball players he has ever seen. Mark doesn't think a deadline will be set on Aaron Rodgers after the Steelers met with him earlier today. Mark talked about the mix-ups that come about when sourcing through the Steelers. Mark said the only person that knows the answer is Aaron and he believes nobody else has the answer. More w/ Mark – Another snippet from the Aaron Rodgers story. The team and player have reportedly had contract parameters in place for some time now. Will there be a domino effect on the Rodgers' move, like a QB in the draft? Mark thinks Jaxson Dart is off the table – or at least he will be by the time we hit draft night. The guys discussed the possibility of the Steelers taking a QB in the later rounds no matter what happens. Mark believes it's bothering the Steelers, mostly Omar Khan, that the team does not own a 2nd round pick due to the DK Metcalf trade. Poni wanted to get Mark's thoughts on what Najee Harris has said since arriving in LA. Mark doesn't rule out the Steelers picking a RB in the 1st round this year. Mark isn't betting on Rodgers signing with the Steelers by the time we chat with him next Friday.

Michael Thomas | 03.16.25 | Fellowship North

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark reacted to the reporting from Dianna Russini that Aaron Rodgers could be leaning toward the Vikings in free agency. How much stronger is the NFC North than the AFC North? Mark said nobody knows what Rodgers is thinking. More w/ Mark – Mark's gut feeling is that the Steelers get Aaron Rodgers. The guys asked him about the other options Rodgers has on the table. Mark said nobody on the McAfee show seems to know where Rodgers will end up. Mark still thinks Russell Wilson could be back if things fall through with Rodgers. More w/ Mark – Cam Sutton was in the facility today. Why? Speaking of facilities, Najee Harris bashed the Steelers' facilities today in his intro press conference in LA. Kaboom is ‘infatuated' by watching DK Metcalf and George Pickens in the same offense. He doesn't think Pickens goes anywhere unless he requests a trade. The guys joked that Aaron Rodgers will make his announcement at the big McAfee show in town next month.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. The guys talked about the early days of The Fan and some of the notable names that have come through these halls. There were some jokes about the Kurt Angle TV days along with the local pizza commercial. Is Justin Fields in the pole position to be the Steelers QB next season? Mark still thinks Russell Wilson is a solid Plan B option. More w/ Mark – Mark thinks Art Rooney prefers Russell Wilson over Justin Fields. Why? More w/ Mark – Mark talked about the rumor yesterday surrounding Trevor Lawrence. The guys also got into the coaching dynamic and where that pushes the offense going forward.

From the responsorial psalm: "Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart. Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants! In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge."A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 8:1-10, today's readings)His disciples answered him, "Where can anyone get enough bread to satisfy them here in this deserted place?" Still he asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They replied, "Seven."In this passage known as the Feeding of the Four Thousand, the words Jesus speaks are as profound as the miracle he performs. What was left over after the miracle also speaks of God's abundant mercy—seven basketsful of fragments. Aware of the physical needs of the crowd following him for three days, Jesus feels great compassion for them, and we hear him say, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd." His care for them extends beyond their physical presence with him: "If I send them away hungry to their homes," Jesus says, "they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a great distance." The great distance they have come is an expression of their desire to be with the Lord, to stay with him. All-knowing and ever merciful, Jesus not only supplies them with food to satisfy hunger but with the fulfillment of our deepest longings.God, help me trust that you look to the needs of your people at all times with compassion and mercy. What I tend to think I need during the day turns out to be not a need at all but more the fulfillment of requirements I set for myself. Jesus looks out over the crowd and sees what they need and immediately provides for them. Let me put myself in the sometimes uncomfortable disposition to receive your mercy and be fed by you. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

From the responsorial psalm: "Blessed is he whose fault is taken away, whose sin is covered. Blessed the man to whom the LORD imputes not guilt, in whose spirit there is no guile. Blessed are those whose sins are forgiven."A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 7:31-37, today's readings)He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man's ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”) And immediately the man's ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly.The ears of the deaf man are opened because of the miracle Jesus performs but also because people bring the man to Jesus. Not in isolation, the man experiences the love of others who believe Jesus can restore his hearing and speech. In the first reading, the serpent finds and isolates Eve, effectively dividing her from the union she has with Adam and God and all of creation. In restoring the deaf man, Jesus doesn't merely undo what the evil one did in the Garden of Eden; he restores the man to wholeness in a foretaste of the new creation, the beatific vision in the life of the world to come. Mark tells us that the man's speech impediment was removed and that he spoke plainly. The plain speech that drives the evil one away is one word: Jesus.God, let me see the peace that results from the work Jesus accomplished while on earth and the hope of eternal life in his passion, death, and resurrection. At creation, Lord, you said you found all that you had made very good. Jesus took the deaf man aside, away from others who loved and cared for him, in order to draw him into more intimate union with you. In opening his ears and lips, Jesus restores him to your plan for creation so that all may say of your glory, "He has done all things well." Open our hearts, O Lord, to listen to the words of your Son. Saints Cyril and Methodius, pray for us! Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

From the responsorial psalm: "Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD. The LORD bless you from Zion: may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. Blessed are those who fear the Lord."A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 7:31-37,today's readings)The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter. He said to her, "Let the children be fed first. For it is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." She replied and said to him, "Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps." Then he said to her, "For saying this, you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter."Wherever he goes, Jesus cannot escape notice, even among the Gentiles. People come to him from all sides, as the woman in today's Gospel does for the sake of her daughter. In responding to the woman, Jesus refers to the claim of the Jews that they first receive his ministry as God's chosen ones. But for the mother who sees the suffering of her daughter, that claim does nothing to hold her back. Jesus gives her the opportunity to demonstrate the depth of her faith expressed in desperate need. Similarly, in the first reading from Genesis, we see the dignity of Adam and Eve standing before God in complete reliance on him, both naked yet feeling no shame. Jesus invites us to come to him with the same dignity, in complete recognition of all he can do for us in his mercy as our Lord and creator.God, just as the woman approached Jesus, aware of her otherness but in great need, I ask for the grace to do the same. In willing to do anything to restore her daughter's health, the mother had heard of Jesus and simply fell at his feet on meeting him. Help me today put to work the exemplary persistent faith of the woman and her holy fear and reverence as she knelt before you. At creation, "The man and his wife were both naked, yet they felt no shame." In humility and childlike trust, let me remember to come to you throughout the day, to come with persistence, and to plead that your will—which is love—be done for me and others. Blessed are those who fear the Lord!Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

From the responsorial psalm: "Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and glory, robed in light as with a cloak. O bless the Lord, my soul!"A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 7:14-23,today's readings)“But what comes out of the man, that is what defiles him. From within the man, from his heart, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile.”After the Pharisees criticize the disciples of Jesus for not following Jewish traditions of purification, Jesus tells the disciples, "Nothing that enters one from from outside can defile that person." From the heart come a host of evil thoughts and actions, extending all the way back to original sin in the Garden of Eden. What defiles, Jesus tells us, is not what enters the stomach but what enters the heart and comes from within. This is why baptism and repentance are necessary to restore us to God, because God restores us to the truth. The Gospel acclamation for today is: "Your word, O Lord, is truth; consecrate us in the truth." What we once took for ourselves from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Jesus gives us abundantly through the sacraments—the embodiment of his passion, death, and resurrection.God, in recognition that what defiles comes from within, flood me with your grace and mercy today. Left to myself, I have nothing; you are the source of every good gift. The vices that come from my heart have no place to hide in the dark but are scattered by the light of your face. Help me call to mind that after looking on everything you made, you found it very good. Be with me today, Lord.Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from the Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark reacted to the report from Brooke Pryor that Russell Wilson looked bad in practice in the final few weeks of the regular season, which reflected by his play. Mark speculated as to what kind of market Russell Wilson could have. Mark thinks Justin Fields could get more money if he signs on for multiple years, like 2/$25M. Mark doesn't know if Mason Rudolph would come back here even if he's promised he'd be the starter. Kaboom thinks Mike Tomlin believes he can win with the QBs they had this past season. The guys caught Mark in a stern defense of Wilson. More w/ Mark – Mark agreed with Art Rooney that the Steelers have a winning culture. He said they haven't had a QB for roughly 5 years and they still find ways to win. How would the guys handle that question if asked? More w/ Mark – Mark doesn't want to see the Steelers draft a defensive lineman in the 1st round because he would prefer a receiver. The guys asked Mark some Steelers practice questions. Mark answered a few wrestling questions with the Royal Rumble tomorrow.

From the responsorial psalm: "Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD? or who may stand in his holy place? He whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean, who desires not what is vain. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face." A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 4:21-25) He also told them, “Take care what you hear. The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you, and still more will be given to you. To the one who has, more will be given; from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” Jesus continues teaching the disciples, placing his focus on the purpose and impact of his message by making two comparisons: the light from a lamp and ears for hearing. What Jesus reveals is not meant to be hidden away but instead given a place of prominence so that the revelation illuminates all of the lives it touches. "The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you" is to say that you receive what you put in, whether attentive to his words or indifferent or dismissive of them. Jesus calls us to actively listen to him and respond to his teachings, which is essential to growing in faith and understanding of his message. God, as Saint Paul encourages in the first reading, let me do today as I approach you with a sincere heart and absolute trust. So many moving pieces go into a day that it is sometimes hard to see the light that shines right in front of me or to listen attentively for your quiet voice amid a bustle of activity. “Take care what you hear," Jesus says. And anyone who has hears, which is everybody, ought to hear and see what his revelation makes visible. Lord, keep me far from being the one who has not. Give me the grace to receive still more from you as I measure out the breadth and depth and height of your word. "Such is the race that seeks for him," the psalmist prays, "that seeks the face of the God of Jacob." Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

From the Gospel acclamation: "The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower;all who come to him will live for ever." A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 4:1-20) Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables? The sower sows the word. These are the ones on the path where the word is sown." Using a parable about a sower, Jesus describes conditions in life that we all face at one time or another. Jesus explains to the crowd gathered around him by the sea that the seed represents the word of God and that different types of ground symbolize the various responses to his word. Whether through persecution or distraction or anxiety or succumbing to the evil one, we sometimes fail to see God's word take root. "But those sown on rich soil," Jesus says, "are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.” What kind of soil will the sower of the word find in us as he comes to sow his word? God, help me prepare my heart to receive your word so that it takes root and bears fruit "thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.” The seed that you come to plant will grow throughout my life and continue to grow even into eternal life through the single sacrifice of Jesus Christ your Son. You are the sower who promises and delivers, as Jeremiah prophesied, through the New Covenant to put your laws into our hearts and write them upon our minds. Give me the grace, Lord, to make of myself a good seedbed of rich soil, ready to receive your word. In fruitfulness, let it grow abundantly in this life and continue to grow under the eternal light of your presence. Let me hear and accept your word. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

From the responsorial psalm: "All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our God. Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands; break into song; sing praise. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds." A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 3:22-30) "Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies that people utter will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin." Jesus summons the scribes to address a lie they have been telling about him. They say, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "By the prince of demons he drives out demons." United in the Father and the Holy Spirit, Jesus does not participate in division but only eternal unity. A human kingdom has unity but also has factions so that within that unity division can exist. Divided from the unity of truth, a lie springs from the father of lies, the evil one, and is participation in everlasting sin. Jesus knows the intentions of the scribes and through divine wisdom exposes their lie. Jesus says all sins and blasphemies will be forgiven. "But," he says, "whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin." Unity forged by the strongest human bonds will always fail; let the truth of God enter in to plunder and drive out division. God, assist me by every good grace you can give me to recognize where division is so that you can bind it and make it useless. I don't want to live out of unity with you, yet that is where I tend in my inclination toward sin. Help me today in these two ways: by removing me from division and by letting you in. In my house, Lord, come with power to tie up and disable all that blocks your entrance. I don't want to participate in any lie that would keep you out, and I depend on you for every good gift. Lord, you say, "Without me you can do nothing." Be my strength, Lord. Jesus, I trust in you! Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples 12 After these things he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them. The Great Commission 14 Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.]] Footnotes Mark 16:9 Some manuscripts end the book with 16:8; others include verses 9–20 immediately after verse 8. At least one manuscript inserts additional material after verse 14; some manuscripts include after verse 8 the following: But they reported briefly to Peter and those with him all that they had been told. And after this, Jesus himself sent out by means of them, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. These manuscripts then continue with verses 9–20
