Mike Tomlin painted a pretty picture for the Steelers going forward after a bye week in which they received a lot of help.

Tyler thinks we will be pleasantly surprised by how this team performs this season, giving credit to Dan Muse for a different voice in charge.

Max said he gets asked more about the two goals in Game 7 to win the Stanley Cup Final than the shhhh move against the Flyers. Max said you can't read much into the Sidney Crosby rumors to another team. Max said maybe the team won't play that well, but there's still a chance to watch Crosby, Malkin, and Letang should be a driving force for people to go to the rink.
Max Talbot explains how he and Tyler Kennedy got to the Penguins at the right moment. The team grew up together in a great atmosphere. The 2009 Penguins had more belief and confidence than in 2008.

It seems like there is a better chance now than ever before than the Penguins could trade Sidney Crosby. This time the messaging is coming from his agent and nothing from a writer or reporter.

The start of the Steelers season is today. There's plenty of excitement. What is the realistic path this year. Austin says 12-5 is the absolute ceiling. The tackles are a major question mark. What is the floor? 6 wins? Rodgers is bad, the run defense continues to struggle, the old guys look old, WR2 remains a weakness. Austin still predicts 10-7, but feels like it'll be a better season than last. Derrick Harmon has barely been discussed lately with all of the other big Steelers news. Jalen Ramsey is #66 on the NFL Top 100. Can the Steelers improve their run defense? A caller says the lines will determine how the season goes, while another is down on the team because of Tomlin. Is Arthur Smith going to utilize his talent properly? The General has a Skenes card of the week and highlights some big card releases. Patrick Queen was worried about getting traded, maybe because he had a rough year. Losing Elandon Roberts might prove costly.

Steelers training camp begins tomorrow, will they ever move camp from Latrobe? Tyler Kennedy joins the show to discuss the Penguins.
Paul Skenes started his second All Star Game last night, but the guys were bothered by something. Skenes was great as he went 1-2-3 in the 1st inning. There was no shot taken at the Pirates organization for how they have handled their first full season with Skenes. Nothing from the broadcast mentioning or eluding to how great of a pitcher he is on such a bad team. Does Major League Baseball have a problem with the Pirates way of business? If they did, why did it seem like last night's lack of criticism meant a gag order was in place? Is there even a 1% chance of Paul Skenes re-signing in Pittsburgh? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The NHL schedule is out and we looked at a few of the highlights on the Penguins docket, including a trip to Sweden in November. TK talked about the trip the team took there in 2009 when he began the season with 2 goals in 2 games.

Tyler said it will help McKenna get ready for the league in a less grinding way than playing in Juniors would. Tyler said there weren't many guys from his era that went to college if they were already playing outside of America. Will this set a trend for big-time NHL prospects playing a year of college hockey?
Oneil Cruz is in the HR Derby. But does he deserve it? Does it matter? All Star games are mostly a joke, but apparently there's belief that Cruz shouldn't be in because he's had a disappointing season. Is it about entertainment or about deserving? That latter hasn't mattered in years. One caller said he had as much talent as Cruz, just didn't have the size. Do callers think Oneil Cruz deserves to be in the HR Derby?
