The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller

PM Team FULL Show 7-10-26

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark now just tweets “Buccos” any time something goes wrong for the Pirates. Poni thinks that this is to get under the skin of Pirate fans. Mark says that he has never been reprimanded by the Tomlin regime for anything journalism related, all though it happened a couple of times with the Cowher regime. More w/ Mark – Harr...

The Pirates have reinforcements coming to the bullpen, but don’t get too excited. Tom Harrington is lugging his 7 ERA in Triple A to the majors and Antwone Kelly will join him. The guys going back down? Neither one of them is Dennis Santana, who deserves it more than anyone. Are we past the drama with Carmen Mlodzinski or is that still a cloud over this pitching staff? The MLB Draft starts tomorro...

MLB analyst Matt Clement joined the show. Antwone Kelly and Thomas Harrington are coming back up to Pittsburgh, and Cam Sanders and Hunter Stratton have been sent back down to Triple-A Indianapolis. Matt thinks that the way the Pirates basically waved the white flag yesterday was strange. He wanted to see Montgomery pitch the ninth in a one-run game. Matt also brings up that we have no idea how re...

Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick agreed with another Steelers reporter in saying the backup QB job is for ‘Will Howard to lose.’ Nick isn’t sold that we see Aaron Rodgers play at all in the preseason, so we should also see plenty of Mason Rudolph in the 3 games. Nick expects to see ‘a ton’ of Drew Allar late next month. Nick thinks the coaching staff ab...

PM Team FULL Show 7-9-26

Phone lines were stocked full of callers reacting to another disheartening Pirates loss, which had them dropping 2 of 3 in the series against the Braves. Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. Mackey doesn’t think Dennis Santana will get DFA’d tonight or tomorrow. He expects them to ‘ride it out a little bit longer’ despite every performance being a dumpster fire. Don Kelly told reporters h...

Cam Heyward was not ranked as a top 10 defensive tackle by NFL.com. Poni thinks that this is ridiculous, and Cam should feel very disrespected. Cam was a second team all-pro last year, meaning the voters only viewed two or three defensive tackles as better than Cam. Poni and Mueller both think that Cam is one of the most underrated Steelers of all time, just because he never ended up winning anyth...

NHL writer Sean Gentille from The Athletic joined the show. Elliot Friedman said the other week that the Penguins have had serious talks with Jason Robertson, but nothing has happened yet. Sean thinks that it is possible that Robertson ends up getting traded, and that the most important thing to Jason Robertson is maximizing his contract. Sean also says that there are parts of Robertson’s game tha...

Do the Penguins have their eyes on Elias Pettersson? That could be their new target if the Jason Robertson sweepstakes fall through. One problem… the Poni scuttlebutt isn’t good. He got a message from someone around the Canucks that gave a pretty horrid review of Pettersson and his overall attitude. This sounds like a situation the Penguins should just stay away from. Donny Football Debrief – Yaho...

Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. Mackey doesn’t think Dennis Santana will get DFA’d tonight or tomorrow. He expects them to ‘ride it out a little bit longer’ despite every performance being a dumpster fire. Don Kelly told reporters he wanted to make sure Mason Montgomery fresh for tomorrow instead of trying to close out the game today. Is Mitch Keller on thin ice after another bad sta...

Another wave of angry callers chime in on today’s brutal loss.

Cam Heyward was not ranked as a top 10 defensive tackle by NFL.com. Poni thinks that this is ridiculous, and Cam should feel very disrespected. Cam was a second team all-pro last year, meaning the voters only viewed two or three defensive tackles as better than Cam. Poni and Mueller both think that Cam is one of the most underrated Steelers of all time, just because he never ended up winning anyth...

KDKA TV’s Bob Pompeani joined the show. NFL.com listed off three storylines for the Steelers going into the season, and number one was that a winning record isn’t guaranteed with Mike McCarthy. Bob disagrees, and thinks the Steelers will finish above .500.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Did Cam Heyward get respected by ESPN today after he was left off their list of Top 10 DT? Will we see a more motivated TJ Watt this season as he faces a new challenge in a new defense? At what point will Derrick Harmon take over as the Steelers best defensive lineman? Ray dove into what the Steelers have along their defensive front. Ray...

The Pirates lineup is out for tonight. Marcell Ozuna is in it, against a righty, showing that the injuries have really started to stack up. What are their options dwindling down to with the amount of injuries they are currently dealing with? We heard from Konnor Griffin, one day after being placed on the IL that will keep him out 8-10 weeks. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi thinks the TJ Watt ranking a...

NFL executives voted TJ Watt as a top 10 edge rusher in football recently, having him at number 7. Is this reasonable? Mullsy does not think that TJ is the 7th best edge rusher in football, and says that he was surprised to see so many Steeler fans agree with him. Mullsy also says that you can make the argument that TJ isn’t the best edge rusher on his own team. Endy Rodriguez has been placed on t...

A historic night at PNC Park and for Ryan O’Hearn as the Bucco joined the rare 10 RBI Club in the 12-4 win over the Braves. O’Hearn started his night with a Grand Slam followed by a pair of 3-run home runs. It is, at worst, on the medal stand of single-game performances in Pirates history. Where does it rank? We heard from Ryan O’Hearn after last night’s game that is among the greatest single-game...

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. The guys asked Jeff about the big injury news surrounding the Pirates, which includes Konnor Griffin and Endy Rodriguez. Why were the Pirates being so secretive about this stuff? Marcell Ozuna is in the lineup tonight – could he be down to his final days in the Pirates lineup? Is there a chance Griffin heals a little quicker since he is s...

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi thinks the TJ Watt ranking among the NFL executives is pretty fair considering the dip in numbers he had in 2025. Aditi said she didn’t put Watt on her All Pro ballot last year. How much would it help Watt to move around a little bit?

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Aaron Donald commented with the eyes emoji on a post about him and Myles Garrett potentially teaming up in Los Angeles. Mike says that it would be almost impossible for NFL teams to stop both Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald on the same defensive line, even if Donald is only like 80% of the player the last time we watched him play. Mike says that B...
