Randy Baumann and the DVE Morning Show

Steve Gorman's new book, "Hard to Handle: The Life and Death of The Black Crowes," bares all, and pretty much puts an end to any rumors of a Black Crowes reunion with THE ORIGINAL line up, you'll see why. Steve recounts when the band was firing on all cylinders in the early 90s and what it was like to play along side Jimmy Page. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's no secret the Steelers have endured their struggles when it comes to just about every facet of reviewing challenges...then in stepped Gene Steratore. But seriously, wouldn't that be sick? Gene explains some annoying P.I. calls from last night's victory over the Bengals and why and how the Patriots received preferential treatment once again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jam packed show today as we celebrate the Steelers first win, but how many more will follow? Who cares! Last night was fun, but doom looms Sunday with the Ravens coming to town. However, a post-game fight in the locker room between two defensive backs may allude to some unrest in Baltimore, Tim Benz has more. Gene Steratore breaks down some frustrating P.I. calls last night and we unofficially off...

The Pirates canned manager Clint Hurdle in the most Pirate way possible, and Adam Berry of MLB.com labels the lack of a veteran presence over the last few seasons to be a significant factor in Clint Hurdle's inability to maintain a positive atmosphere in the Pirates clubhouse, Gerry Dulac has noticed a bothersome method in Mason Rudolph's progressions. Stan Savran highlights some touching moments...

Everyone's darling Steve Blass will hang up the headphones this weekend after 60 years with the Pirates, 34 as a broadcaster - and it's been quite a career. A World Series hero, with the likes of some of the greatest baseball players of all time, an All-Star appearance (with more legends), and some memorable moments in the booth. Congratulations, Steve!

0-3 is pretty daunting, but it isn't the end of the world, it's a long season after all, but 0-4 would be disastrous. So, the Steelers have to figure out a winning formula for Monday, especially against the division rival Cincinnati Bengals, and according to Dave Dameshek of the NFL Network, it starts with having Mason Rudolph under center HANDING OFF (not tossing) to James Conner to establish a m...

According to Steve Blass, "I'm not a legend, Ron Jeremy is a legend! I am a mere pawn in the chess game of life." We couldn't disagree more, Steve is an absolute legend and he will wind down a 60 year career with the Pirates (34 in the booth) as he retires from broadcasting. Dave Dameshek of the NFL Network insists all is not lost, though it does look bleak for the Steelers. Diontae Johnson has th...

PFT Commenter breaks down some simple Twitter instructions for our younger demographic, and just what Rex Ryan was trying to get at by insulting Baker Mayfield. Missi Matthews addresses Mason Rudolph's confidence ahead of his first home start against a divisional opponent. Comedian T-Robe was once a flight attendant and had a unique way of dealing with rude passengers. Also, the Tomlin Translator...

It's been an odd NFL season through three weeks, to say the least. Lots of injuries to significant players across the league, former coaches (Rex Ryan) criticizing hotshot QBs (Baker Mayfield), the Bills are undefeated, weird stuff. How can Bills Mafia really make a statement against their undefeated division rival? Gonna take more than just a dildo on the field. See omnystudio.com/listener for pr...

Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle would live at home if he could, Merril Hoge addresses a plethora of offensive issues for the Steelers including Mason Rudolph's confidence in the pocket, and Mark Madden doesn't understand why the Steelers are just now making transactions in the middle of a season that is already lost. Plus, we pay tribute to the late Robert Hunter, the Grateful Dead poet and lyricist who...

Merril Hoge helps analyze the Steelers current condition through answering some simple questions: Should James Conner adjust his running style to help quell his fumbles? How can Mason Rudolph progress in his second start, and why was he so reluctant to take shots downfield? Also, what does the offensive line have to do in order to propel the running game? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy in...

Tom Brady's recent complaints on holding calls prompted a conference call amongst officials, which resulted in a 50% decrease in calls from Week 2-Week 3. Interesting. Gene Steratore chimes in on Tom's reluctancy to withhold his comments. Cam Heyward is pleased with the defense's increased turnover margin but insists there is still plenty of work to be done, starting with all eleven guys minding t...

Team captain Cam Heyward details the steps his defense has to take in order to turn the corner, even though they've proven to be a more productive unit in terms of forcing turnovers, and Minkah Fitzpatrick seems to fit right in so far. One aspect of the game as proven especially lethal so far: the running game. How do they stop it? Cam insists on having all eleven guys mind their gaps. Christmas i...

The Steelers fell to 0-3 yesterday at the hands of the 49ers despite forcing five turnovers (to just committing two of their own). The Black and Gold failed to play a complete game on both sides of the ball, surrendering big plays after earning a lead, and stalling out on key drives after forcing a turnover. So who catches the brunt of the blame? There's certainly plenty of it to go around. Stan S...

Seven is out for the remainder of the season, but be calm Steeler Nation - all is not lost just yet. Why blame Colbert & co. for poor draft strategies yet get angry over their decision to trade a 1st rounder for an established NFL safety? You can't have it both ways! Minkah Fitzpatrick and Mason Rudolph will look to notch a huge victory on Sunday in San Francisco in their first true starts as Stee...

This year has proven to be a wild ride for the Steelers (to say the least), and two events in the past 24 hours have only strengthened the whirlwinds around the 2019 campaign and it's only Week 2! We're referring to Ben Roethlisberger's season-ending elbow injury, and the acquisition of safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (for a 2020 First Round Pick, no less). Is Fitz the missing piece to a promising defen...

In our Week 2 edition of Zebra Talk with CBS Sports Officiating aficionado Gene Steratore, we discuss the atrocious Pass Interference call on Steelers DB Terrell Edmunds, which lead to a touchdown, and whether or not subjective calls like that one should be challengeable, or subject to review. Also, Gene Simmons has a special message for Gene Steratore. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy info...

CBS Officiating aficionado Gene Steratore is in agreement with many (especially Steeler Nation) about the new Pass Interference rules and how subjective calls should not be reviewable. Cam Heyward is excited to begin working with the newly acquired Minkah Fitzpatrick, Billy Gardell shares how writers grow to be producers when working with Chuck Lorre, and comedian Craig Gass rats out Tom Arnold's...

Where do the Steelers go from 0-2, down key starters (including Ben Roethlisberger) and staring straight into a west coast matchup against the 2-0 49ers? And how should the NFL adjust the new Pass Interference review rules? Tim Benz, Gerry Dulac and Stan Savran explain. Also, the always hilarious Craig Gass stops by the studio.

Has Bill Belichick finally flown too close to the sun with the AB acquisition? And not wanting to answer questions on the receivers abhorrent accusations? Dave Dameshek of the NFL Network says the NFL mastermind welcomed the media storm associated with Brown's troubled pass, so he should have to answer for it. Don't the Patriots just make you wanna puke? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy inf...
