Mr. Wednesday Jeff Konkle got to experience the Penguins season ticket delivery surprise, much to the chagrin of his son.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Merril Hoge labels the 2019 Patriots defense as a new and improved version of their near flawless Super Bowl defense from a season ago - yikes. Despite being outplayed in just about every aspect of the game on Sunday night in New England, Merril believes that the Seahawks provide a great opportunity for the Black and Gold to bounce back because, "you can't underestimate a professional who's been e...

Malkin opens up like never before, and sheds light on some of his darker days in Pittsburgh, alone, away from his wife and child. It's a must read for all Pens fans. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Team captain Cam Heyward says it's important to grasp something from Sunday night's loss in New England, and that the Steelers simply can't just "move on" to Seattle. Miscommunication led to blown assignments, which led to another Tom Brady breakout performance on offense. Distractions? Not an issue. It doesn't get any easier this week with Seattle's league-best rushing attack in 2018 coming to He...

Officiating aficionado Gene Steratore for a Week 1 recap of Zebra Talk, featuring an in-depth explanation of the mechanical workings behind the 10-second run-off and how officials decide to rule pick plays on crossing routes, most recently seen during the Patriots routing of the Steelers on Sunday Night. Oof. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last night's loss at the hands of the reigning Super Bowl champion Patriots was not what Steeler Nation had hoped for to say the least, even more so, it wasn't what anyone expected! A terrible offensive showing, yet another defensive dismantling from Tom Brady, and only a wimpy field goal to show for it all. Tim Benz and Stan Savran have some thoughts on the Patriots dink and dunk/crossing pattern...

Steelers DE Stephon Tuitt is ready for 2019, and if you don't believe the hype - just listen to his Hulk Scream. It's kinda hard not to, because it's incredibly loud. Cam Heyward, Javon Hargrave, and Stephon Tuitt - O-Lines be warned! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pittsburgh native and NFL Network host Dave Dameshek returns to the Morning Show and is absolutely amped for the 2019 Steelers campaign.

Jeff Konkle is back from family vacation, one in which he prefers to drive to rather than fly out of sheer inconvenience. Merril Hoge returns for his 30th year with WDVE and shares nutritional secrets from his playing days. And Gerry Dulac has the scoop on how much playing time Devin Bush will get in Week 1 and potentially beyond. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette asked Mike Tomlin yesterday about how much playing time Devin Bush will get in Week 1 against the Patriots. His response left some room for doubt in terms of Bush playing the entire game. A similar approach was taken last year with first rounder Terrell Edmonds getting a "part-time" label, but ended up leading the league in snaps among rookies. Regardless...

A lot has changed in the thirty years since Merril Hoge first appeared on the DVE airwaves - nutrition and dietetics are no exception. In his day, if you wanted to gain weight in the offseason, you lifted and ate potatoes, maybe even a banana split, too! But thats not what Tom Brady does (or any athlete for that matter). And when it comes to the Steelers passing game, there are plenty of calories...

Steelers captain Cam Heyward prefers Wendy's Spicy Chicken sandwiches and home made mac and cheese to the fancy stuff, but is most bothered by the Steelers inability to outlast everyone else in the NFL, but you gotta make the playoffs in order to have a chance and that all starts on Sunday night in Foxboro. #BeTheDragon See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
