Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the 2027 NFL Draft, and what the Steelers need -- and what players there are to watch -- beyond the bumper crop of quarterbacks that is projected to be available next April. Safety, slot cornerback, linebacker and defensive tackle are all positions that Omar Khan and Andy Weidl could have their charges keeping an eye on when the 2026 college football season kicks off in August.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's ongoing World Cup, which showcases the potential for the massive amount of revenue that the NFL could make if it could ever make even a fraction of the same type of international impact that soccer has -- and that's why the league is going to be relentless about continuing to push those opportunities.

The year 1920 marks a pivotal moment in the annals of football history, as it heralded the inception of the American Professional Football Association, which would eventually evolve into the National Football League.

We examine the establishment of a professional football organization, showcasing the inaugural game between the Dayton Triangles and the Columbus Panhandles, a significant milestone that laid the groundwork for future leagues. The discussion extends to the emergence of iconic teams and players, as well as the cultural significance of these developments within the broader context of American sports.

The narrative of 1920 in football is replete with significant events that collectively heralded a new era for the sport. Central to this story is the formation of the American Professional Football Association (APFA) on September 17, 1920, in Canton, Ohio, which laid the groundwork for organized professional football. This episode meticulously examines the circumstances surrounding the establishment of the APFA, emphasizing its role in fostering a more structured and ethical framework for professional play. Furthermore, the discussion contextualizes this development within the broader historical milieu, including the impacts of World War I and the Spanish flu pandemic, which had previously disrupted the sport and its traditions. The resurgence of college football, exemplified by Harvard's triumph in the 1920 Rose Bowl against Oregon, serves as a poignant reminder of the sport's enduring appeal and the revival of competitive spirit following a tumultuous period.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the value of a kick returner in the modern NFL. Rule changes have made the kick return into a play that happens a lot more than it used to, but is there value tied up in the kick returner position, and were the Steelers smart to invest a fourth-round pick in Kaden Wetjen?

On September 17, 1914, a pivotal gathering occurred in Canton, Ohio, wherein a confluence of football team owners convened to establish the nascent framework of professional football, an event that would ultimately culminate in the formation of the National Football League. This episode delves into the disorganized state of American football prior to this meeting, characterized by rampant player poaching, spiraling salaries, and a complete lack of structure. We explore how Ralph Hay, an automobile showroom owner, recognized the urgent need for order amidst chaos and took it upon himself to invite other team owners to collaborate on a solution. The ensuing discussions led to the establishment of foundational principles aimed at regulating player contracts and ensuring the integrity of the sport. As we recount the birth of what would become a $200 billion industry, we reflect on the profound legacy of that fateful meeting and the enduring impact of the structures instituted by those early visionaries.Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the Pigskin Dispatch YouTube channel for additional content and the regular Football History Minute Shorts.Miss our football by the day of the year podcasts, well, don't, because they can still be found at the Pigskin Dispatch website.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the latest in the ongoing saga of Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who is now applying to join the NFL via the supplemental draft this summer.

Tendremos Draft Suplementario en la NFL y Brendan Sorsby busca su lugar en la liga. Te explico cómo funciona, quién es el QB y más.

The episode delves into the profound ramifications of poor decision-making in the NFL draft, with a particular focus on the egregious selections made by the Washington Redskins in 1946 and 1947. Timothy P. Brown presents a compelling narrative surrounding these selections, which culminated in the team drafting the same player, Cal Rossi, in consecutive years without securing his commitment to play professional football. This discussion elucidates the lack of due diligence and foresight exhibited by franchise leadership, specifically George Preston Marshall, who epitomizes the pitfalls of a haphazard drafting approach. By examining the broader implications of these blunders, we gain insight into the evolution of scouting and player recruitment practices in the National Football League. As we explore these historical missteps, we are reminded of the enduring significance of strategic acumen in the realm of sports management.The conversation is based on Tim's recent article titled: The Two Dumbest NFL Draft Picks Ever Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the Pigskin Dispatch YouTube channel for additional content and the regular Football History Minute Shorts.Miss our football by the day of the year podcasts, well, don't, because they can still be found at the Pigskin Dispatch website.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the idea that the Steelers could use a franchise tag on cornerback Joey Porter Jr. if contract talks between he and the team do not progress. Porter is set to enter the final season of his rookie contract, with general manager Omar Khan already having extended two of Porter's draft-mates, the star cornerback is likely near the top of the list for a contract extension.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the Steelers plans for scouting the 2027 NFL Draft, which will be finalized next month. This time last year, it was clear that general manager Omar Khan was going to direct his staff toward prioritizing the quarterback position in the 2026 NFL Draft. It's not quite as clear this time around, but if the Steelers aren't looking hard at quarterbacks, what will they be seeking in the first round next April?

Packers tight end Tucker Kraft plans to be ready to roll -- without a pitch count -- for the season opener September 13th in Minnesota. Kraft also believes that -- at the time of his ACL injury -- he was the best all-around tight end in the National Football League. (Oh, and he's also well-aware how loved he is by Packer Nation.) Meanwhile, Jordan Love had a couple highlight-reel throws at practice, while defensive back Javon Bullard reminded everyone that he's pretty good, too. Packers reporter Domonique Yates joined the show to recap Wednesday's practice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is indeed an exciting time to be alive. I'm not talking about AI, but OTAs, or Organized Team Activities in the National Football League. Non-contact football practices have just commenced. Our hometown heroes the New England Patriots are coming off a very successful season, which unfortunately ended in the Patriots getting shellacked by the Seattle Seahawks (so much so I stopped watching the game).  If Patriots fans thought that was the low point of this year, recent stories around the head coach Mike Vrabel's personal activities (shall we say) have raised questions around how successful this season is going to be. Being a leader can require a lot of focus to the task at hand. If you can't focus, can you lead? Or, is there going to be a level of distraction interfering with the focus that is needed to succeed at that level.  It seems that the only story getting more press than the Mike Vrabel saga is the artificial intelligence saga. AI is impossible to escape in the press and in our lives. When I was at the FTT Fintech and Customer Alpha event, every session had some discussion about AI. In these discussions, it is interesting to hear the ever fluctuating claims about how essential AI is to a company's success. There are stories about how it is vital to success, as well as stories about how it is going to contribute to failure. There is a lot of space in between those extremes to add further stories.  These discussions raise the question about what it means to “embrace technology.” There is a difference between a company embracing technology and becoming beholden to it. We are seeing many companies becoming beholden to AI. Some companies are becoming beholden by making the decision to turn their operations to AI, reducing headcount, and dealing with the aftermath if the expected returns have not materialized. Or, they are now seeing the price of tokens being significantly increased. Other companies, by comparison, are embracing technology by finding areas where its use fits and is appropriate. Adoption involves whether technology is seen as a tool or technology as a determinant.  It all comes down to leadership, and making strategic decisions in times of uncertainty.  This is why we have this week on Experience by Design Marianne Bachynski, Chief Information Officer, Author, Speaker, and Strategic Advisor. Marianne's expertise lies in aligning IT Operations and Business Strategies to achieve organizational goals and foster sustainable growth. There perhaps is no better time to engage a conversation around strategic use of technology than now.  In our chat, Marianne suggests that AI can unlearn more quickly due to its objective nature and the ability to be retrained, but it lacks empathy and can have unchecked bias unless trained by humans. In other words, why we still need humans in the loop. We also discuss how new technology creates opportunities for experimentation and innovation, but only if we are not relying on it just to replicate what we've done in the past.  Marianne stresses that especially in times of rapid technological change, success comes down to people and how culture still matters. We have to hire curious people to begin with, and continue to engage them around the what and why of your decisions. People need to be shown that they still matter, and that we are all in this together.  This includes people at all levels of the organization. Marianne describes how her end of summer meeting with interns was her favorite meeting because of the unique perspectives and creative ideas that were shared. Marianne highlights the need for leaders to shift from micromanaging to influencing and coaching, while also fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. Marianne shares her hope that her book, Fit for Uncertainty, would help readers change their leadership approach and build coping skills for stress. Ultimately, Marianne shares that leaders of all kinds need to have the humility that allows them to say “I don't know” and be open to learning from many different voices, which still includes human intelligence.

The Supreme Court of the United States has shut down the National Football League's attempt to keep a major lawsuit hidden behind closed-door arbitration. Could the case now expose how the league really handles hiring practices once it heads to open court? Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt may have pulled off a master class in marketing with a surprisingly brilliant 4D chess campaign. And finally, competitive eating legend Joey Chestnut pleads guilty and is sentenced to probation, adding another bizarre chapter to the world of professional hot-dog eating.
