Did Mike Tomlin ‘ruin' Minkah Fitzpatrick? The former Steelers safety talked about why he wasn't utilized correctly in Pittsburgh in his final season or so. He says he's at his best moving all over the field in different roles, but we didn't see that from Fitzpatrick in his last few years with the team. Minkah could have played centerfield for the Pirates given where the Steelers had him lined up. The guys are intrigued by Patrick Graham leading the defense because he may not be stuck into ideas of the past. There seems to be more and more examples of players not used in their best ways under Tomlin. How often will we see the 3 top edge rushers on the field at the same time? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff thinks Will Howard has to have 3 good games in the preseason to take over as QB2 in the battle against Mason Rudolph. Jeff said Mason is going about this as a professional, which has been common over his time in Pittsburgh. Jeff explained the trickiness of the evaluation for the coaches when it comes to backup QB. Jeff said Drew Allar is the one QB that has nothing to lose in the Steelers QB room. Jeff expects to see a lot of Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard last night because he isn't confident DK Metcalf or Michael Pittman suit up. Has Lew Nichols thrown a wrench into the RB3 battle? Jeff told the guys we could see Broderick Jones play both tackle spots tomorrow night. Jeff doubts Max Iheanachor will play and why that puts him behind the 8-ball to be the starter at right tackle. The guys asked how much we will see Robert Spears-Jennings, who has taken advantage of some camp opportunities. Why has Spencer Anderson been mostly untested at right guard? Jeff explained why we haven't heard much about Gennings Dunker so far. Donny Football Debrief – CBS Sports ranked all 138 FBS programs heading into 2026. Who was 1? Where did Pitt, Penn State and WVU land?

The relationship between a university president and an athletic department often determines far more than wins and losses. When leadership shares a common vision, the entire institution benefits.At West Virginia University, that partnership appears to be taking shape. President Michael Benson believes athletic success can elevate the university's reputation, strengthen enrollment, energize alumni and create momentum that extends well beyond the playing field.In this episode, the “Guys” sit down with President Benson to reflect on his first year in Morgantown. They discuss the evolving landscape of higher education, the changing economics of college athletics, and the strategic decisions being made to position West Virginia University for long-term success.It's an insightful conversation with the university's chief executive on leadership, vision and why the future of WVU depends on excelling both in the classroom and in competition.

The Slanted Attic Experience: Episode 66 "Sports Room 09" World Cup, Winning Streaks & Way Too Early NFL TakesThe Sports Room is back for its 9th installment and this one comes with a new face in the room. Tyler, Liam, and Graham welcome Jack to the attic for the first time and the sports calendar delivers everything they need for one of the most wide ranging episodes of the series.They open with Jack's introduction before diving into recent NHL news and the Stanley Cup Final. The World Cup takes center stage with crazy moments from before the semi finals, how the ball changes for each tournament, Liam's firsthand experience watching France versus Iraq at Lincoln Financial Field, ticket scalping, and what the final picture could look like heading into the quarterfinals. MLB gets its moment with the All Star Game, whether any modern pitcher can reach 300 wins, the Nationals and their pitching rotation, the new manager, the Phillies so far this season, fan voting, and a room that is unanimous in its feelings about the Mets. The salary cap debate, a potential salary floor, before the Jaylen Brown trade pivots things toward the NFL. Early season expectations start with the Jets before moving through teams poised to take a step up or a step back. Mike Tomlin's drama, the Steelers outlook, top teams in each conference, young QB development, and way too early fantasy football top five picks close things out.Guest Panel:Graham: Born in North Carolina and raised on Duke basketball in the heart of Tobacco Road, Graham became a devoted Hokie after attending Virginia Tech. While he keeps a close eye on American sports his true passion right now lives in the English Premier League where he proudly supports Brighton and Hove Albion week in and week out.Liam: Born and raised in Philadelphia, Liam is a die hard Eagles, Phillies, and WVU fan who has lived through championship highs and gut punch lows with equal passion. He fell in love with lacrosse in high school and now follows the rise of the PLL as closely as anything else on the sports calendar.Jack: Making his first appearance in the Sports Room, Jack is a die hard New York Jets and Washington Nationals fan who brings genuine sports knowledge and a fresh perspective to a room that does not have a low bar. A Jets fan's optimism and a Nationals fan's patience make for a compelling combination and he holds his own from the very first minute.Topics Covered:Intro and Jack's first appearanceRecent NHL news and the Stanley Cup FinalRecent World Cup moments before the semi finalsHow the ball changes for each World CupWorld Cup 2026 watching and thoughts before the quarterfinalsWhat could the final look like?Liam at Lincoln Financial Field watching France vs. IraqTicket scalping and the cost of attending World Cup gamesMLB and the All Star GameWill any modern pitcher reach 300 wins?The Nationals and their pitching rotationThe new Nats manager and the Phillies so far this seasonMLB All Star Game lookahead and fan votingPost All Star Break outlookThe unanimous dislike of the New York MetsMLB salary cap, potential salary floor, and a possible lockoutThe Jaylen Brown tradeNFL season expectationsStarting with the Jets and teams taking a step up or step downMike Tomlin drama and the Steelers outlookTop teams in each conferenceYoung quarterback progression in the leagueWay too early dynasty fantasy football top five picksOutroNew episodes of The Slanted Attic Experience drop bi-weekly at 10:30 AM EST with the occasional surprise episode along the way.
