Podcast appearances and mentions of mike sullivan

Afternoons 3-6 on 105.9 The X The List Mark talks about the biggest food culprit when it comes to gaining weight excessively…the late night pizza. He resets the topics of the day and dives into the Pickett and Trubisky debate with the callers. Josh Yohe joins the show to update us on the Penguins and if there is even any contact with Geno or Tanger, the state of Mike Sullivan, some Free Agent types that might be out there, and they also look towards the conference finals as game 5 is tonight in MSG Ask Mark Anything!

The guys debated if Diontae Johnson is a top 30 receiver – Chris went through guys around the league right now he would put ahead of Johnson. Najee Harris spoke to the media today and got mad about the weight comments, even though nobody said he was “fat.” The guys talked about the offensive line issues last season and questioned moves like Kendrick Green at center and Chuks Okorafor getting paid. Najee said he won't be on the field quite as much as last year to take away some hits on his body. Poni defended Najee's “fat” comment.  The Steelers Mike Sullivan talked to the media and gave his insight on the QB battle. The guys broke it down and debated how much they can take from it. 

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Wes Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio and the 'Eers and Beers Podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a quarterback race as minicamp is about to begin Tuesday, and QB coach Mike Sullivan gave his insight on how that competition is going. Kenny Pickett continues to be a hard working studious rookie while Mitch Trubisky is showing his NFL experience and Mason Rudolph is being a good teammate while showing his knowledge of Matt Canada's system. But who has the edge? Also, does Rudolph pose as a serious trade possibility after the competition is settled in training camp? What could opponents offer in return? Finally, Minkah Fitzpatrick was the only Steeler named on a top 25 players under 25 list and was listed at 19th. As the only two-time First Team All-Pro on the list, does he not get enough credit?

Happy Monday! We are now halfway to episode No. 1,000 and Hunter starts the show with some fresh Penguins news. He touches on how the arena has a new management group that will oversee the operations of PPG and tries to improve the fan engagement and entertainment in Pittsburgh. He goes into what this could mean moving forward for the Penguins as there could be new offerings inside the arena as soon as next season. After that, he gets into two Penguins assistant coaches being connected to head-coach openings and what that could mean for Mike Sullivan heading into this offseason. Will both be able to get a job? Could only one of them depart? Why are teams so interested in these two assistants? Hunter answers those questions before getting into Teddy Blueger's season review. He dives into his underlying numbers and looks at what they tell, plus looks at how his playoff numbers have been super, super concerning throughout the last four years. Should he be expected to be back next season? What needs to happen to make sure that he stays on this team for the next several years (potentially)? He dives into more questions about Blueger before ending the show by shouting out Penguins management for not being incompetent with Mike Sullivan since Bruce Cassidy and Barry Trotz were let go during the offseason. All that, plus much more on today's episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Mike Vellucci is rumored to be taking head coaching interviews...what does this mean for the Penguins? Hunter starts the show off with that topic after it was reported that the Flyers decided to interview him this past week as they look to find their new head coach. Hunter looks at how it wouldn't be that big of a deal if the Penguins lost him, considering how the PK played in the playoffs during this series. After that, he goes into who he would look to replace him with if he got a head-coaching gig, plus how this would be one of the rare times that Mike Sullivan would actually get to hand-pick his staff (thanks Jim Rutherford!) After that, Hunter reviews Jake Guentzel's season and goes into just how special it was. He slams the people who gave up on him after he no-showed for a couple of years in the playoffs and looks at the stats that led to that happening. He then looks at what realistic expectations should be for Guentzel heading into another season where he's in his prime. Finally, Hunter ends the show by going over a couple of trade options for a top defender that a few fans sent in if Kris Letang walks. Hint: They're both from the Western Conference. Would the Penguins be able to make it work? Should they be interested if one is made available? What would they have to give up? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Happy Thursday! Despite there not being any big news, there are always things to talk about in Penguins' land. Hunter starts the show by hammering the Jack Adams finalists and why it's been time for this award to change. Hunter touches on why it's all about who has the best goaltender during the season (cough, Gerard Gallant) and how it's never about what coaches are able to do when injuries hit or when a coach takes over a team that doesn't have playoff aspirations, but still does well. He advocates for both Mike Sullivan and Todd McLellan after their jobs and even touches on Jay Woodcroft for how good of a job he did. After that, Hunter goes into this awful rumor about Kris Letang from 93.7 The Fan and why he's NOT asking for a seven-year term before evaluating the penalty kill this season. What does Hunter want to see differently from the unit in 2022-23? Should there be different players killing the penalties? Is it time to go back to being aggressive? He answers all of those questions before ending the show by reviewing Rickard Rakell's season and why Hunter would pick him over Bryan Rust to re-sign. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Mike Sullivan spoke to the media today. To no surprise, Mike refuted the Sidney Crosby report regarding Game 6. The guys broke down his comments, including the thoughts on the future with Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and Bryan Rust.  We heard from Kris Letang at his end-of-the-year press conference. 

Longtime hockey writer Scott Burnside checks in for his thoughts on the Pens future and we hear Mike Sullivan talking about Sidney Crosby's medical evaluation and when he was cleared. 

Well, it's now offseason time, Pens fans. Hunter starts the show off by going into how gutted he was for the core after the Penguins fell to the Rangers on Sunday. He also talks about what they've meant to him over the years and how they even inspired him to do many things with this sport (including this show). After that, he touches on everything about that Game 7 performance and where it all went wrong. He goes into the penalty that should've been with Alexis Lafreniere at the end of the third period, but also slams John Marino for making a terrible defensive play. What should Marino have done in that situation? He then praises Tristan Jarry for one heck of a performance, even though he was obviously playing hurt. He shouts out Jake Guentzel for one of the best performances he's ever seen in a series and why a national audience got to see just how good he is. After that, he slams Brock McGinn for trying to be too cute with the puck in overtime and how he, plus the penalty kill cost them when they were needed most. Finally, Hunter gives some quick offseason thoughts on where the team should go from here, and why Mike Sullivan shouldn't be fired. what to do with Letang and Malkin, will Burke and Hextall survive this, and so much more.

We talk about the role the goaltending played in this series, if we could change one play in this series and is Mike Sullivan in any kind of trouble in his job security? 

Should the head coach's job be on the line after another early exit? 

Paul Steigerwald and Colby Armstrong recap last night's Game 7 in what ended up being a whirlwind of a series full of excitement and disappoints, Tim Benz highlights the Crosby injury as the turning point in the series, and more

We heard from Mike Sullivan in his chat with Penguins media ahead of Game 6.  Former Steeler Arthur Moats joined the show. Following the signing of draft pick George Pickens, Arthur said he really likes where the Steelers receiver room is right now. Arthur talked about the confidence with the quarterbacks on the roster and the intangibles Kenny Pickett brings to the table. He said Kenny should light up the rookie minicamp, but things will change when the veterans show up in a few weeks. Chris asked Arthur about when EJ Manuel was drafted by the Bills (in his final season with Buffalo). Arthur commented on the Steelers schedule and likes the challenges out of the gate. Arthur talked about how the travel, or lack thereof, in comparison to the rest of the league will play a factor. If he doesn't win the job out of camp, Arthur likes Kenny to make his first start out of the bye week against the Saints.  Poni's first Steeler season prediction. 

A huge day in Pittsburgh sports. To start, the guys covered the Steelers schedule release and early guesses on when Kenny Pickett will take over for Mitch Trubisky. Then the conversation shifted to Pens-Rangers Game 6. The Pens have a chance to end the series at home. The guys gave their confidence level on if the Pens can get it down without Sidney Crosby on the ice. Both think a big game from Evgeni Malkin is ahead. Chris added that Kris Letang will have a big moment tonight too. Poni challenges the fans to have a big impact on the game.  Penguins insider Mike DeFabo joined the show. Mike said players shouldn't look to fight Jacob Trouba after his hit on Sidney Crosby. He said it should be more satisfying for him to face the Penguins in the handshake line after they end his season. Mike agreed on the possibility that it could be the final home game for Evgeni Malkin if the Pens were to lose tonight and Sunday. There aren't more specifics surrounding the Crosby injury, but Mike Sullivan wouldn't budge much. Mike said today was the first time in a month that Tristan Jarry has seen 5-on-5 hockey in a live setting, so he doesn't expect him to be ready for tonight or Sunday, but he isn't completely ruling it out. Mike said there is amped importance on the Pens finishing the series tonight because of the questions that surround a potential Game 7 in New York.   Donny's first Steeler season prediction.

Tocchet is also a former assistant coach under Mike Sullivan had some interesting things to say about playing Jarry in this series, Malkin having to step up, coaching Louis Domingue in Arizona and more! 

Colin wants more criticism from Mike Sullivan on Mike Trouba and more from players and coaches in the league on these hits. Chris puts the onus on the league. Crowley's wife packed him lunch today...The only things in the brown paper bag were a hamburger bun, an apple, and a stick of cheese. Crowley's wife texts the Edgar Snyder and Associates Fan text line to say Crowley forgot the rest of the lunch!  We take calls about Trouba and the NHL...Colin and Chris say intent shouldn't matter. A hit to the head is a hit to the head. Rooting for/against.

We hear from Mike Sullivan, Teddy Blueger, and Jake Guentzel about the Trouba hit on Sid and how the team will respond. Can Malkin carry the load offensively? Will Sidney Crosby be able to leave his career on good terms?  Breakfast Bytes- Clint Hurdle throwing some shade at the Dodgers!   Wonderful human Jeff Hathorn of 93.7 the Fan joins the program. Jeff won't go with Jarry tomorrow even if he's 90 percent. No practice today, doesn't think he's faced enough yet on the ice. His confidence level in the Pens wanes if Crosby can't go in game six. Jeff says old school guys think the physical play is part of the game and therefore we won't see change. Sara Silverman shares her toothbrush with her significant other. Would you EVER consider this? Colin and Crowley say no. Chris is more flexible. 

Wednesday night wasn't the night for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter goes into how the Penguins played a PERFECT game until Sidney Crosby's injury. From then on, all hell broke loose as the Rangers scored three goals in two minutes. Hunter touches on how Mike Sullivan made a rare blunder in this series by trusting Jeff Carter to play with Guentzel and Rust for a few shifts before Evgeni Malkin was put in that spot. Had Malkin been there, do the Rangers score those goals? Hunter ponders that question before giving his unbiased thoughts on Jacob Trouba's hit that knocked Crosby out of the game. Should there be a suspension? Does the series rest on Sid's health? Hunter answers both of those questions before bringing up Evgeni Malkin's mixed bag game. He ponders that he needs to be better with his penalties and having other players get under his skin. He also goes into why Louis Domingue should've been better on the last two goals, plus gives early thoughts on what to expect for Game 6 (and yes, he may be there).

We heard Mike Sullivan audio heading into Game 5's do-or-die for the Rangers. The guys debated what kind of game the Rangers will play tonight with their season on the line.  CBS NFL Draft analyst Josh Edwards joined the show. Josh rated Kenny Pickett as his top QB in the 2022 NFL Draft class and said he's walking into a “fantastic” situation. Josh had George Pickens rated inside the top 30 and the Steelers got the wide receiver 52nd overall. Chris asked about Calvin Austin and Josh said he's definitely more than a gadget player. Josh, overall, was a big fan of the Steelers whole draft class. DeMarvin Leal and Connor Heyward were two other players he liked a lot going into draft weekend. Chris challenged Josh to talk about Mark Robinson, but it was unfortunately a failed challenge. 

Phil Bourque thinks the Penguins success is because they are simply buying into Mike Sullivan's brand of simple, effective playoff style hockey, but the series is long from over. Mark Madden details the Penguins history of chasing goalies in the playoffs. Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle outlines the different water bottles for kids these days, and Joe Bartnick returns for another Soft Dump.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are one win away from their first playoff series win in four years and they'll have a shot to earn that on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. Hunter is joined by Rachel Nones again on the show as she discusses what's been going on for the Rangers. Is there any matchup that works against the Sidney Crosby line? How are the Rangers going to come out on Wednesday? The two also discuss how the Rangers can get back into this series and send it back to Pittsburgh for Game 6 on Friday night. Hunter then touches on how the Penguins can end this series and what they need to do to make it happen. They also talk about the Rangers' big-ticket players not being themselves and credit Mike Sullivan's system for doing a great job with his forwards and defense away from the puck. All that, plus much more on Igor Shesterkin and Louie Domingue on this episode of the Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

We heard audio of Mike Sullivan from today's press conference following the Pens 7-2 win to go up 3-1 in the series. The guys looked a little ahead and debated if they would rather play Carolina or Boston.  Giveaway. We heard from Diane Roles, who won the name contest for Steely McBeam. She gave her thoughts on the new-look of the Steelers mascot.    

Craig and Sean discuss the New York Islanders surprising decision to fire Barry Trotz after four seasons behind the bench for Lou Lamoriello's team. The guys take a look at possible landing spots for Trotz, with all signs pointing to Winnipeg and who Lamoriello might have in mind to guide the Islanders next season. Peter Baugh joins from Nashville with his new cowboy hat, on the heels of the Colorado Avalanche sweeping the Predators and advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Plus the guys ask, why hasn't Mike Sullivan won a Jack Adams Award yet, with the Penguins led by third stringer Louis Domingue on the brink of eliminating Igor Shesterkin and the New York Rangers, they praise the TNT intermissions and we look ahead to what franchise desperately needs to win the draft lottery tonight.

The Pittsburgh Penguins DOMINATED the New York Rangers again on Monday night and are now one win away from winning the series. They'll look to close it out on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. Hunter starts the show by reminding everyone that this series is NOT CLOSE to being over. He touches on how the fourth game is always the hardest one to win in this series and how the Penguins will likely get the Rangers' best at Madison Square Garden. He then touches on everything that went right in this game, especially the Sidney Crosby line continuing to torch the Rangers. Is there anything Gallant can do against this line? He also touches on the chess match between Mike Sullivan and Gallant and how Sullivan is coaching circles around him right now. After that, he goes into how the Penguins have been able to have success at Igor Shesterkin the last two games and what the recipe will be on Wednesday. He also brings up the depth scoring and how that's been a big turning point for the Penguins in this series, especially these last two games. After that, he shouts out the other players who impressed him tonight and how Sidney Crosby isn't going down without a fight. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Pens-Rangers Game 4 set for tonight at PPG Paints Arena. The guys discussed the Game 3 win on Saturday night that put the Pens up 2-1 in the series. Louis Domingue will be back in the net tonight and the guys debated if it is Domingue's spot to lose even if a healthy Tristan Jarry gets cleared to return. The guys think a win tonight should keep Domingue in net until at least the end of this series and he shouldn't get benched until there's a reason for it. Poni said if Mike Sullivan goes to Jarry and the season crashes to a finish he should be fired.  93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff gave the latest from the Penguins ahead of Game 4 tonight. Jeff agreed with the guys and doesn't think Louis Domingue should lose his net to Tristan Jarry if he continues to play well. Jeff said with Jarry, it's not that the team won't be confident in his ability, but if he has seen enough action in practice leading up to a real game. Jeff had concern for Brian Dumoulin, who still hasn't hit the ice since injury. He said Mike Matheson has been better in this series than what we saw in Game 2. Poni thinks Brian Boyle should be out of the lineup, but a potential replacement like Drew O'Connor didn't participate in line rushes during practice. Jeff updated his series prediction and showed interest in joining the guys in New York if the series goes to Game 7.  HOCKEY TALK! Poni is going to the game tonight. Chris loved Mike Tomlin's hat and jersey combo for Game 3. The guys argued if Penguins fans are more dog or cat people. 

First, Ian and guest cohost Julian McKenzie dive into Monday morning's breaking news that New York Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello fired head coach Barry Trotz after four seasons behind the Isles bench. Then, the guys discuss a number of storylines from the first week of Stanley Cup playoffs action, including the high-scoring blowouts occurring seemingly every night, the Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons asking Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe a loaded question about Justin Holl, Rod Brind'Amour's ire over a non-goalie interference call in Game 4, Tony DeAngelo throwing his stick at Brad Marchand as he scored into an empty net, as well as thoughts on the upcoming NHL Draft Lottery set for Tuesday night. Next, The Athletic's own Josh Yohe joins the show to talk about the Pittsburgh Penguins taking a surprising 2-1 series lead over the initially-favored New York Rangers and discuss Sidney Crosby's renaissance performance so far, head coach Mike Sullivan deserving more credit as one of the best coaches in the league, Tristan Jarry's potential return to the lineup late in the series, and more. Plus, to close things out, the guys answer a couple of Multiple Choice Madness questions about whether the NHL should automatically review every goal or not and which team would have the biggest offseason makeover if they lose in the first round.

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers will have a big quarterback race on their hands during their training camp. But will Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph have to prove to win? A big factor could be the connection with tight end Pat Freiermuth. Ben Roethlisberger struggled to throw down the middle of the field in 2021, but any quarterback who can do that in 2022 might have a leg up in Matt Canada's offense. And the best way to do that will be for Freiermuth to be a featured part of that offense to help open up the run game for Najee Harris. That, and how the Steelers' quarterback coaches Mike Sullivan and David Corley can help Pickett develop into a starter more quickly.

Former Steelers QB, turned PFF analyst Bruce Gradkowski joined the show. Bruce talked about the Steelers QB competition between Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph. He said it's a long process, but the guys have to take advantage of their reps. Chris asked if Rudolph's time with the organization plays a factor in how many reps he gets in practice. Bruce said Pickett, as a rookie, has to blow the Steelers away to win the job over Trubisky and/or Rudolph going into the season. Bruce talked about what kind of situations the quarterbacks will be put through. He gave the perspective of what players (other than the other QBs) feel like when a team drafts a first round quarterback.

Kevin Colbert joined Cook & Joe earlier today. He gave comments on drafting Kenny Pickett and the QB competition. The guys debated how it should be handled. Both brought up the situation Brian Flores had to deal with in Miami a few years ago with rookie Tua Tagovailoa and veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick. Chris advocated for easing Kenny into the starting role and why playing him right away could hurt his development. Former Penguins goalie Ken Wregget joined the show. Ken played in the longest game in Penguin history. He talked about what it was like playing in a game like that and how he can relate to Louie Domingue. He talked about the game last night and the mentality Domingue had coming off the bench cold. He thinks Domingue is ready to roll and it could be a great boost to the team with a backup goalie. He commented on the goalie interference call – saying it would not have been a call during his playing career, but it was the right call now. Ken is rooting hard to Domingue to stay healthy and why it will be a tough call for Mike Sullivan to make a move at this point if Domingue continues to play well.

April 27, 2022 - Season 12, Episode 120 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to giving our final thoughts on the 2022 NFL Draft before it gets underway Thursday night in Las Vegas, NV.Alex and I have late discussions on if the Pittsburgh Steelers will move up in the first round to draft a quarterback this year. We also discuss if Mississippi quarterback Matt Corral could be their guy based on a conversation QB coach Mike Sullivan apparently had with David Carr of the NFL Network.Alex has completed his entire 2022 mock draft as of Wednesday morning, so we review it in this show and especially the first round of it. We talk about players we would bang the table in the second half of the first round and beyond.Alex and I haven't talked a lot about Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis possibly being the Steelers first round draft pick this year, so we fix that in this show. We discuss the likelihood of Davis landing with the Baltimore Ravens and talk about how the Steelers would use him if they wind up drafting him.Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert talked a little about defensive end Stephon Tuitt recently, so we cover that tiny quote from him. We also discuss a late addition to my favorite draft player list of 2022 in this show and it's a small school edge rusher. Alex and I also discuss platers that are easy to link to the Steelers as possible picks that would have the fan base excited if selected.We then close out this 105-minute show by answering several listener questions we received via the e-mail machine.

That game might have been the final nail in the coffin for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter starts out the show by confirming that he's had enough of the team's recent play and goes on a rant about how this loss was, at least to him. He first lays into Mike Sullivan for changing up the lines for no apparent reason and how that's one of the main reasons they likely lost this game. It looked to be doomed before it even started. He goes into what line changes need to be made for the next game and for the playoffs as the Penguins look to somehow do some damage. He then looks at how the team continues to play atrocious defense and looks at some of the gaping errors that were made on the ice tonight. Where is it all starting? What is causing all of these issues to continually happen? He also slams the team for continuing to give up goals right after they get back into it as that killed any momentum that they got from the Carter goal. He also brings up the issues that people feared heading into the season, including some player's regression, the lack of a true backup to Jarry, and so much more. He also does a deep dive into what went wrong on all of the goals against and which areas need to be cleaned up for the playoffs. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

We are very excited and honored to once again welcome Dr. Mike Sullivan from Ethnos360 Bible Institute.

This week, we're talking about the real possibility of Casey DeSmith playing as the Pittsburgh Penguins' number one netminder come the first week of May when the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs begin. Tristan Jarry's status is undetermined at the time of recording, with Mike Sullivan labeling Jarry as ‘week-to-week' with an apparent foot injury. If Jarry isn't able to suit up for Game 1, how much confidence do you have in DeSmith's game, given his up-and-down season, to steer the ship between the pipes during the most crucial time of the season? This week's mailbag also sees the two hosts reflect on the star-studded 2003 NHL Draft class, discuss strange playoff rituals, highlight Amanda Kessel's recent hiring, and much more.

It's another off day but the Penguins did have practice on Tuesday as they returned to the rink after a couple of days off. Hunter goes into some of the practice updates and a look at the new lines that Mike Sullivan had in store. Is this a preview of what to expect in the playoffs? Hunter ponders that thought and wonders if this weekend will be the time that Brian Boyle comes out of the lineup. Is that the right call? Hunter gives some pros and cons to that situation for HCMS before moving to the defensive pairs. He praises Sullivan for putting Dumoulin back with Letang (even though he should have time off) after going into just how bad the Dumoulin-Marino pairing was. He touches on why these pairs are probably what you all will see come playoff time before getting into the Penguins' possible playoff opponents. He ranks who he'd rather play between the Rangers, Hurricanes. and Panthers before ending the show with a #SidForHartFinalist campaign. No, he won't win it, but he should have a very good case to be a finalist based on what he's done this year. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

This week, we're talking about the declining play of Brian Dumoulin. Typically a reliable, stay-at-home yin to Kris Letang's offensive, risk-taking yang, the shutdown defenseman has been in a very noticeable rut. The 30-year-old seems to have lost some of his mobility while making some questionable decisions in his own zone.  Could this be a case of Dumoulin playing through some sort of nagging injury, or is it time to seriously consider benching the veteran and/or explore trade opportunities in the off-season?  It seems even Mike Sullivan, who is very dependent on his veteran players, has taken notice of this, and moved Dumoulin to the second pairing during the last game against the Islanders, with Mike Matheson taking the top spot alongside Letang. Is the decline of Dumoulin real? Meanwhile, the mailbag this week sees the two hosts take questions on playoff-clinching scenarios, some potential new faces next season, and much more.

This week, the PensBurgh Podcast is ready to break the emergency glass and start panicking. Or are they? Yes, it's true the Pittsburgh Penguins have come up short in recent weeks against the likes of the Colorado Avalanche, and their probable first-round opponents, the New York Rangers. But even if they're not getting the two points in the standings, does that mean Pittsburgh is doomed when the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin a month from now? Robbie and Garrett are back this week to try and get some Penguins fans away from the ledge. The game plan is there to set the team up for success during the playoffs. Will the Penguins have enough depth to compete with their opponent? And how well can the Penguins execute and “play the right way,” as Mike Sullivan always says? The mailbag is a brief one this week, with both hosts talking about post-trade deadline acquisitions, an eventual Kris Letang replacement, and the bad injury luck the Penguins have had in recent years.

Paul Steigerwald measures Marcus Petterson's decline in the second half and what he would like to see from the veteran defensemen in the home stretch of the regular season. Phil Bourque isn't quite ready to panic, but expected more from Tristan Jarry's game last night. Mark Madden thinks the Steelers should've never traded for Minkah Fitzpatrick in 2019, and as a result, may have ended up with Justin Herbert. Plus, Bill breaks down the Pirates 2022 promotional schedule, and everyone has a Tiger Boner at The Masters it seems.

March 22, 2022 - Season 12, Episode 106 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the latest news concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers. We go over the interview that new Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky had on Friday on SiriusXM NFL Radio and also talk about his contract numbers that have now been verified. We discuss what Trubisky's contract means past the 2022 season.The Steelers sent the house to Liberty pro day on Tuesday to see quarterback Malik Willis so that is most definitely covered by Alex and myself. We talk about what that turnout means and also go over several things that Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze said about Willis on Tuesday. We also discuss what it might take in the way of a trade for the Steelers to move up to select Willis in the first round of the draft, should they like him as much as we think they do.The Steelers also had a heavy presence at the Pittsburgh pro day on Monday to watch quarterback Kenny Pickett go through his throwing session. We discuss that production and more. We also talk some about where the Steelers might go on Wednesday with Ole Miss and Ohio State both scheduled to hold their annual pro days.Alex continues on with his annual pro day tracking so we go over the latest spottings he has made with one of those being quarterback coach Mike Sullivan way out in Nevada. We talk a little about the Utah State pro day being on Wednesday as well.The numbers for the contract signed by new Steelers offensive lineman Mason Cole are now out so Alex and I go over that three deal near the end of this show. Late in the show I provide a salary cap update. We then tie up a few loose ends and then get to answering a few emails that we have received from listeners since the Monday show.
