Rob Manfred is allowed to make one selection to the All-Star Game, but has a special exception to allow more if he wants. Manfred selected Clayton Kershaw, but Jason wanted Manfred to pick Andrew McCutchen as well as a special exception. We want to see McCutchen in one more All-Star Game before he retires. Is this it for Cutch? Should the NFL eliminate everything with the Pro Bowl?

Which Pittsburgh athlete would you want to see host?

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Tyler Kennedy: Joe is freaking out that he is struggling at golf. The Penguins will hand out the book "Mind Gym" to players to try and make sure they have their minds right. Should the Penguins move up in the draft?

What was the loudest moment at the Civic Arena or PPG Paints Arena? 

Should T.J. Watt be in our top five Pittsburgh athletes of the past 25 years? Watt should be a 3x Defensive Player of the Year.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Bubba Chandler is struggling in Triple-A in June and has allowed 11 earned runs in 9.1 innings. We would rather Cherington sign one or two players to a big-money contract instead of multiple players on small contracts. Do you play pickleball? Someone doesn't think golf is a sport?!

Bubba Chandler is struggling in Triple-A in June and has allowed 11 earned runs in 9.1 innings. What is the rationale to play Tommy Pham over young players? Between now and next June 23rd, what team will be the most successful? Bob and Austin pick the Steelers and Joe thinks the Pirates.

Evgeni Malkin, Rob Rossi, and more

Rob Rossi joins the program. What does Rob think about the Josh Yohe report about Malkin leaving Pittsburgh after this season. He says that not only will Malkin leave, but so will Alex Ovechkin back to Russia. Poni and Rossi agree that this Penguins team has the potential to be one of the worst in the entire league this year. Good timing for the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes.

It was reported that Evgeni Malkin will be playing his last year as a Pittsburgh Penguin. Poni says thank you for the years of service and championships, but it is okay that the Penguins want to move on. Poni says it won't make him sick to see him in another jersey.

(Austin Bechtold hosting) -Jeff Hathhorn joins to begin the show talking the US Open, they made their picks and talked about the field. - Callers - Bob Pompeani joins his own show with Austin! He talks the US Open. Fairways have been difficult but you have to hit them. Would you tether hit fairways or be able to two putt. Pomp says you need both but if he had to choose 2-putting. He'd assume you'd be able to hit the fairways. - 6 US Open champions missed the cut and Pomp believes this will be Phil Mickelson's last US Open. Bob would bet on Adam Scott to win the US Open.

- Jonathan Jones from CBS Sports reported that the Steelers are ‘low-balling' other teams to acquire an extra pass-catcher. It could be a WR or TE. According to a Tik Tok post by Keenan Allen, he won't be a Steeler. The guys went through a few other teams/players that the Steelers should have their eyes on if they want to go for it. If the Steelers are serious, why not up the price? The guys said there are moves the Steelers made this offseason that could make them look really smart or really stupid. – Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve reacted to the Steelers finally signing Aaron Rodgers and how that raises the ceiling for the Steelers. He talked about a few things Rodgers falls in love with and a few things he sometimes will refuse to do. Steve said Rodgers didn't have a ton of trust in his receivers last season. The Steelers are at odds with TJ Watt in terms of a new contract – the guys asked Steve what should happen between both sides. Steve believes they should lock up Watt for a few more years at market value. Steve said the Jets offensive line was OK and was not as bad as everyone will tell you. Steve said the Steelers still have 2-3 big question marks on their own offensive line and you can't just assume it will be a good group. Steve said bringing back Justin Fields did have some upside for the Steelers, but there's no guarantee in that. Steve told the guys he does like this plan a little bit better than the team going big money for a player like Geno Smith or Sam Darnold. – An Oakmont check-in with Jeff Hathhorn.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray shared his initial impressions of Aaron Rodgers, and what changes (if any) Arthur Smith could make to suit Rodgers' strengths. Ray doesn't see too many differences in watching Rodgers vs Mason Rudolph right now. He also notes to be on the lookout for Calvin Austin III to potentially become the WR2. Regarding T.J. Watt, Ray thinks a deal with Watt and the team will eventually get done. Ray says undrafted TE JJ Galbreath has stood out a little so far.

The Donny Football-Less Debrief. The NFL is thinking about reseeding the playoffs based off of record instead of division winners.

Adam Crowley joins the show to talk about his report about Chris Olave. Crowley and Poni disagree on the potential of acquiring Olave. Poni does not think they should while Crowley does.
