Podcast appearances and mentions of omar khan

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. He gives his thoughts on whether Steelers GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin have cultivated enough depth this offseason. Yes, they made aggressive moves for big veteran names like Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith and DK Metcalf to surround existing stars like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Joey Porter Jr. But is the next layer of talent enough to compete with the best in the NFL? Later, he weighs in on the Pirates' latest home win against the San Francisco Giants and the momentum they've built the past couple of weeks despite an MLB trade deadline that disappointed many fans.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. How are things beginning to shake out at WR2 for the Steelers? The guys asked Jeff about his chat with Arthur Smith. Jeff explained why tackle could always be in the future for Darnell Washington, but it's definitely too late to do it for this season. Is Broderick Jones really struggling to the level that we are all hearing? Jeff doesn't think a Terry McLaurin trade is likely, but he said it is hard calling anything is impossible under Omar Khan. Is Will Howard the most-hyped 6th round pick of all-time? Jeff said the offense has been a little concerning, but the offensive line has only been fully together for one day of padded practices.

This week, Michael is joined by Steelers General Manager Omar Khan in a special episode from Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, the home of Steelers Training Camp. Omar talks to Michael about his excitement to get over to Ireland - and hopes for the season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 whether or not the Steelers could land Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who has formally requested a trade amid a contract dispute. McLaurin is seeking a contract in the same range as the one that Omar Khan gave to DK Metcalf earlier this offseason. Would that be something Khan would do, or could afford under the salary cap? What does Pittsburgh have that Khan could send to Washington in a trade, and will the Commanders actually deal their top wide out?  Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery chats with the wonderful Saad Omar Khan about his debut novel, Drinking the Ocean (Wolsak & Wynn, 2025). The day after his thirty-third birthday, Murad spots a familiar face at a crowded intersection in downtown Toronto. Shocked, he stands silently as Sofi, a woman he'd fallen in love with almost a decade ago, walks by holding the hand of a small child. Murad turns and descends the subway steps to return home to his wife as the past washes over him and he is taken back to the first time they met. Moving between Lahore, London and Toronto, Drinking the Ocean is a story of connections lost and found and of the many kinds of love that shape a life, whether familial, romantic or spiritual. As Murad's and Sofi's lives touch and separate, we see them encounter challenges with relationships, family and God, and struggle with the complexities facing Muslims in the West. With compassion and elegance, Saad Omar Khan delicately illuminates the arcs of these two haunted lives, moved by fate and by love, as they absorb the impact of their personal spiritual journeys Saad Omar Khan was born in the United Arab Emirates to Pakistani parents and lived in the Philippines, Hong Kong and South Korea before immigrating to Canada. He is a graduate of the University of Toronto and the London School of Economics and has completed a certificate in Creative Writing from the School of Continuing Studies (University of Toronto) where he was a finalist for the Random House Creative Writing Award (2010 and 2011) and for the Marina Nemat Award (2012).

Post-Gazette insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo recap report day for Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. They explain why there's a "new team" energy T.J. Watt spoke of around coach Mike Tomlin's group this summer, following the offseason acquisition of names like Aaron Rodgers, Jonnu Smith, Jalen Ramsey and DK Metcalf by GM Omar Khan. Plus the draft selection of names like Derrick Harmon, Kaleb Johnson, Jack Sawyer and Yaha Black. Then later, the guys look ahead to what can be expected in the first day of practice on Wednesday, when fans will get their first look at Rodgers in a Steelers uniform.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark defended his take that the Steelers had a ‘perfect' offseason. Mark said they, mostly, accomplished everything they wanted to do. Mark gave his reaction to the TJ Watt signing and how the Steelers avoided 4-5 guaranteed years. Mark looked at this deal versus the one Myles Garrett received from the Browns. Mark thinks the Steelers can get ahead of things this season with Watt, even though he doesn't think a holdout would have impacted Watt's production. Mark said moving Watt around on defense will be a key to furthering his longevity. More w/ Mark – Mark believes the TJ Watt ankle injury was worse than what we were hearing late in the season, which impacted him heavily down the stretch. The conversation again went to Watt moving around the defense and how that could lead to a big 2025. Mark doesn't care for the narrative that Watt isn't healthy enough because he's only missed significant time in one season. More w/ Mark – After the ‘perfect' offseason, Mark gave some of his expectations for the season. Will we see a few key players take a step up on the defensive side? Mark still has questions, but likes the talent a lot on the outside. Mark doesn't think Omar Khan is done making moves and still believes safety will be addressed.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to the hot topics in Pittsburgh sports this week. Should Steelers GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make an exception to their rule of not negotiating contracts with players during training camp and into the season when it comes to T.J. Watt? Or should they stick to their guns as he reportedly seeks a contract that would take him to his age 36 season? Is there still time to trade him? And would that defeat the purpose of signing veterans like Aaron Rodgers and trading for names like DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith? And are there any lessons we can learn from the Le'Veon Bell contract holdout close to a decade ago? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks some hockey. What should we make of Penguins GM Kyle Dubas' moves so far this NHL offseason? Does the deal for goalie Arturs Silovs signal big moves coming with Tristan Jarry and/or Erik Karlsson? Should the team tank for a chance to draft Gavin McKenna? Or give Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang a chance for one more Stanley Cup run together? And what should we make of reports that Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle are looking to re-assume ownership of the club? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, the guys tackle the hot topics surrounding the club this week. Should GM Ben Cherington be allowed to trade big names like Mitch Keller, Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes while his future is in question? Or should Bob Nutting limit his options for deals to players on expiring contracts like Tommy Pham, Andrew Heaney and Isiah Kiner-Falefa? What should we make of Reynolds' continued struggles? Was Seth Hernandez a good top pick in the MLB draft? Where does Oneil Cruz go from here after his MLB Home Run Derby performance? And how seriously should we take Konnor Griffin as a prospect?

Send us a textThe Steelers have made some solid offseason moves, but there's still work to be done before training camp. We break down the key roster moves, trades, and signings the Steelers MUST make to stay competitive in the AFC North.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news and breaks down why he believes the Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt are currently playing a game of high-stakes chicken with his deal. Will Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan listen to trade offers from division rivals like the Baltimore Ravens over the next two months, or will they eventually make Watt the highest-paid defensive player in the league above the Cleveland Browns' Myles Garrett? Lastly, Paul dives into more Steelers offseason talk and upcoming training camp thoughts before talking about the slumping Pirates' much-needed MLB All-Star Week break and what it means for Paul Skenes, Oneil Cruz and company.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news and analyzes whether the Steelers are legit postseason contenders ahead of the 2025 NFL regular season. Paul breaks down why he believes this is the best Steelers team on both sides of the ball since Pittsburgh had Ben Roethlisberger in 2017. Do the additions of Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith, among others, make this team a threat to win the AFC North and actually win a playoff game come winter? Conversely, will the losses of Minkah Fitzpatrick and Najee Harris negate the additions Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan and company made this offseason? Lastly, Paul weighs in on the news that the Pirates' Oneil Cruz will compete in the MLB Home Run Derby. For more sports, visit post-gazette.com.

Is prime Aaron Rodgers better than prime Patrick Mahomes? Paul reacts to Big Ben's recent comments and discusses why the Steelers' former Super Bowl-winning QB would come out and say that on his podcast. Also, was Bill Cowher correct in saying that Rodgers needs "the keys" to Pittsburgh's offense in order to be successful this season? And are the T.J.

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 big trade with the Miami Dolphins last week and how general manager Omar Khan is counting on Mike Tomlin and his coaching staff to make the pieces fit. The Steelers got the best of the trade with the Dolphins, adding a more-valuable secondary piece in Jalen Ramsey in addition to Jonnu Smith in exchange for Minkah Fitzpatrick. But it's not immediately clear how all the pieces will fit together, and if the coaching staff can't make it work, it will open fair questions about the quality of the trade and their future. Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Steelers have operated differently this year and under Omar Khan, who received a three-year extension through 2028. Jason wonders if it's worth it to pay an edge rusher $40 million. We would rather pay Watt around $38 million and figure out the guaranteed money to be more than Myles Garrett.

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson evaluate Steelers' GM Omar Khan with the NFL offseason starting to come to an end. July 7, 2025, 7:00 Hour

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss whether Steelers' GM Omar Khan knows football or if he's someone that just focuses on analytics.

A chart is going viral with the final 5 drafts under Kevin Colbert. Colbert may be a Hall of Fame GM, but this painted a picture as to how things were left for Omar Khan. The chart is split into a few categories and only 1 player is labeled as a ‘great' draft pick (Alex Highsmith).

Another moment of Terry Bradshaw defending Kenny Pickett in his time with the Steelers. But the guys wondered if it was more of a shot at the head coach than a defense of Pickett. Deshaun Watson got married this weekend, which was the cause for a few jokes on social media. There was also a defense of Sam Darnold in the interview with Bradshaw, which the guys think is a little bit comparable to Pickett even though Darnold was a former 3rd overall pick. Now with Pickett in Cleveland, how is the talent around him supposed to be good enough? A chart is going viral with the final 5 drafts under Kevin Colbert. Colbert may be a Hall of Fame GM, but this painted a picture as to how things were left for Omar Khan. The chart is split into a few categories and only 1 player is labeled as a ‘great' draft pick (Alex Highsmith). Donny Football Debrief – The Athletic ranked the Top 25 college football rivalries and there is a glaring omission.

On a special Thursday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko joins host Adam Bittner to analyze the team's receiving options following the acquisition of Jonnu Smith. Will OC Arthur Smith use the tight end more as a WR2 behind DK Metcalf? Given that Smith put up big receiving options last year with the Miami Dolphins? How will his presence impact the target share for guys like Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Robert Woods? And can we put talk of signing free agents like Amari Cooper, Keenan Allen, Gabe Davis and Allen Lazard to rest with Smith in the fold? In the second segment, the guys talk safety options. Could GM Omar Khan try to sign one before training camp, with names like Justin Simmons, Julian Blackmon and Marcus Williams still available via NFL free agency? How much will Jalen Ramsey himself fill the void left by Minkah Fitzpatrick? What are reasonable expectations for Juan Thornhill? And what happens to the safety group if DeShon Elliott gets hurt. Our duo tackles those topics, plus some quick-hitters in the third segment. Have the Steelers really been doing things much differently under Khan? Or have they been more aggressive for a while now without perceptions of them keeping u[? Will Aaron Rodgers get any benefit from working with his receivers this week in Malibu, Calif.? And what should fans want to hear from Ramsey at his introduction?

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 offseason, including Monday's big trade with the Miami Dolphins, and how much they're focused on trying to beat -- or be -- the Baltimore Ravens. The 2025 season fell apart for Pittsburgh, thanks to a five-game losing streak to close the season that included two losses to the Ravens. The latter, in the playoffs, involved Baltimore racking up nearly 300 rushing yards against the Steelers defense. So how much of what Omar Khan is doing this offseason has been about trying to reverse the trend against the Ravens, and possibly even taking some of Baltimore's ideas for themselves?

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.

KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob reacted to the Omar Khan extension news. What moves have the Steelers made that have Khan's hands all over it? Bob thinks the DK Metcalf trade was strongly dictated by Khan. What does Bob think stands as Khan's best and worst move so far? The conversation turned to exercise and how Poni may have a torn Achilles in his future. This was sparked from Jaylen Warren sharing video of his unique training regimen. Bob said he isn't much a weight lifter anymore.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. He gives his thoughts on whether Steelers GM Omar Khan has made his team too old with moves for veterans including DK Metcalf, Aaron Rodgers, Darius Slay Jr., Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith. Can this team really compete with the NFL's best by making a roster that already including Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt older? Or could it be a fatal flaw for coach Mike Tomlin and Co.? And are some people underestimating the contributions young players like Derrick Harmon, Kaleb Johnson, Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu and Joey Porter Jr. could make? Paul tackles those questions and more.
