10-29 PM Team 4pm Hour: All Access with Aditi, Aaron Rodgers, and an off the rails Donny Football Debrief

10/29 PM Team 3pm Hour: Matt Clement, Mike Florio, and the Kyle Dugger trade.
Mike Florio hops on. He says that if the Steelers miss the playoffs there will be "wholesale changes". What does he mean by that and could Mike Tomlin be on the hot seat? Mike suggests that Tomlin's tone in his press conference is what got the ball rolling in his head as to the Steelers needing a change. Tomlin immediately blamed the offense instead of suggesting the defense was the issue, which is not the case.
Matt Clement joins the show! He has a massive collection of LeBron James cards. He says that Michael Jordan is better than LeBron and it is not even close. Matt likes the 18 inning World Series game. What are his thoughts on the Pirates payroll reportedly being relatively the same next year?
The Steelers made a trade last night. Kyle Dugger is now a Steeler. He has an injury history and has not been the same player since an ankle injury. What should fans expect from the newest Steeler? Donny says that he should fit right in as a player past his prime, injury prone, and not playing at a high level.
10-29 PM Team 2pm Hour: Art Rooney, Fan vs The Fans, and Tyler Kennedy
Tyler Kennedy on the hot start of the Penguins. Is the start sustainable? Should the Penguins keep the two rookies up longer? Ben Kindel and Harrison Brunicke are close to burning a year of their contracts. Is it worth it to keep them up for the long haul?
10/29 PM Team 5pm Hour: MTV early 2000s programming, Hawk Report, and Judge Donny
The Steelers lost to the Packers at Acrisure last night. Is this rock bottom for the Steelers defense? They have the highest paid defense in the NFL and one of the worst stat lines. Tucker Kraft walked all over the Steelers defense who is now even more shorthanded with the loss of DeShon Elliott. Once again people are asking, is it time for a change on defense and at the head coaching position?
Mike Tomlin, PM Team Professors, and a conspiracy theory
PM Team Professors: Grading the Steelers performance against the Packers
Poni is not thrilled with Tomlin's press conference from last night's loss. Tomlin says they don't speak a lot when the teams lose, they don't even talk a lot when they win. When he goes into the season saying they will have a historic defense and are one of the worst in the league, the team's play is not backing up his talk. Breaking: Daniel Ekuale has a torn ACL.
Donny Football Debrief and a LOT on Aaron Rodgers
Are teams paying the highest for offense and defense getting a good return on investment?
10-27 PM Team Whole Show

Fair Game with Nick Farabaugh. Will Aaron Rodgers get sacked? Will Zach Frazier play on Sunday?
We listen to TJ Watt from Steelers practice today. What did the Steelers highest paid player have to say about the teams play against the Bengals and what to do against the Packers?

10-24 PM Team 2pm Hour
Pat McAfee insider Mark Kaboly joins the PM Team. Will the Steelers defense rebound from last week? Who are some wide receivers that the Steelers could target at the trade deadline? Will Zach Frazier play against the Packers?
Bryant McFadden joins the show. BMac says Poni needs to be as high as possible since there will be no numbing agents. What does BMac think of the Steelers secondary going into the game against the Packers? Darius Slay, while he had a great career, has looked slow this year. Should the Steelers move Jalen Ramsey to safety?
We talk Pittsburgh football with Pittsburgh Sports Now beat writer Nate Breisinger on the latest podcast!
Aaron Rodgers says that the game on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers is not a revenge game. Is he lying? Poni says that he has a feeling there will be another Steelers collapse this season and the Steelers will miss the playoffs. The Steelers are underdogs six out of the next seven games.
Where does Super Bowl 45 rank in the most heartbreaking losses in Pittsburgh Sports History? The Pirates losing in the 1992 NLCS is on top of the list.

Ray Fittipaldo joins the show to talk Steelers-Packers. Will Zach Frazier play this Sunday? If he does not play, who does Ray think will play center instead? What does Ray think of Teryl Austin's comments? Does Ray actually think that this game is a revenge game for Aaron Rodgers?
Will Howard spoke from practice today. Should the Steelers bring Aaron Rodgers back for another year? What do the Steelers have in Howard? Could they still draft a QB in the first round even though the class has been less than stellar this year so far? Poni says that Jordan Love will thrive against the Steelers defense this Sunday.
10-23 PM Team 4pm Hour: Steve Palazzolo, Donny Football Debrief, Worst Pittsburgh Sports losses

Steve previews the Steelers-Packers game this Sunday. Steve also reacts to what Teryl Austin said as to why Nick Herbig was not on the field at the end of the Steelers-Bengals game.
10-23 PM Team 3pm Hour
PM Team Power Rankings: Ranking the best uniforms in the NFL. Poni ranks his best NFL uniform combos. The Bears at 5, 49ers at 4, Colts at 3, Steelers are at 2, and the number one spot goes to the Green Bay Packers.
We listened to some Teryl Austin clips from his press conference yesterday. Austin says the Bengals run game completely changed the Steelers game plan. He talked about stopping the run, Nick Herbig's playing time, Joey Porter Jr. and his penalties. Poni would give JPJ a C+ or B- at best. Austin had a bad excuse as to why Herbig was not playing late against the Bengals.
Aaron Rodgers, Fans vs The Fan, and Jason Mackey
Jason Mackey joins the show. The World Series starts tomorrow, what should we expect? Rob Manfred wants a salary cap and a salary floor and a different revenue sharing. Will the Pirates payroll go up or down for the 2026 season?
