The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller

New Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham spoke to the media for the first time today. Can the Steelers’ defense take the next step this year and actually preform like the highest paid unit in football? Mullsy thinks Patrick Graham’s defense in Las Vegas last year was unfairly evaluated due to how bad their offense was. The Steelers were 17th in scoring defense last year despite being the...

New Steelers OC Brian Angelichio spoke to the media earlier today, and even though he will be a figurehead in his position with Mike McCarthy truly running the offense, is there reason to feel more optimistic about the Steelers offense in 2026? We are outside of the shell we’ve known for 2 decades that could allow the offense to open up a bit more than we have seen in the last few years. Is there...

The Pirates have called up Jhostynxon Garcia ahead of their series against the Cardinals. Garcia had a monster game in his return to Triple A and with the injury to Ryan O’Hearn, the Buccos have promoted their #4 overall prospect. How often should the Pirates trot him out there? He will hit 6th tonight and play in RF. What does the lineup look like with Garcia in it? Chris is not happy about Jared...

Donny Football Debrief – Rashee Rice now has to spend 30 days in jail after violating probation and testing positive for marijuana.

Aaron Rodgers still hasn’t spoken to the media, despite signing on Saturday. Mullsy thinks that Aaron Rodgers will play to a level closer to Jacoby Brissett than to MVP Rodgers. He also thinks that the media covers Aaron Rodgers the way that they do simply because he is Aaron Rodgers and he has won 4 MVPs.

Playoff Minute – We had to classic playoff games last night, with both Thunder Spurs game 1 and Canadiens Sabres game 7.

PM Team Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. Were action movies better in the 80s and 90s? Was the series against the Phillies just a ‘bump in the road’ for the Pirates? How bad is the Buccos bullpen? Do the guys think Carmen Mlodzinski should go to the ‘pen when Jared Jones is back? How much different will the Steelers offense look? Do Donny and Chris deserve to be mad abou...

The Steelers started OTAs today and it was highlighted by the Aaron Rodgers return that we learned about on Saturday night. What does that mean for the young QBs on the roster like Will Howard and Drew Allar? The Rodgers return limits their time in the spotlight, but how much does it limit their time with Mike McCarthy? It’s hard to be excited about one, or both, of the young guys if you are also...

Today was the first day of OTAs for the Steelers. Yes, Aaron Rodgers was there after signing this weekend, but something else of note – the Steelers jumbling of the offensive line. Troy Fautanu, coming off a great season at right tackle, lined up on the left side today. They also had a few other names moving about the front. What do the Steelers ideally want the offensive line to look like? Fautan...

A disastrous weekend at PNC Park as the Pirates were swept by the Phillies. The Phils have turned their season completely around under Don Mattingly. Their stars showed up this weekend, with Bryce Harper and a couple of aces, making huge impacts. Is this the beginning of the end for the Buccos or is it just a bad stretch? The Pirates offense showed nothing in the games on Saturday and Sunday, but...

It was the breaking news of Saturday night – Aaron Rodgers is back. He was spotted at a local ice cream shop on Friday night and less than 24 hours later, Rodgers to the Steelers was happening. The second time around for Rodgers, this time under Mike McCarthy and not Mike Tomlin. The big issue was what Rodgers lacked against playoff teams in 2025, which is something that has followed him for the l...

Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt reacted to the Pirates being swept by the Phillies at PNC Park over the weekend. Can the Pirates get out of this slump quickly? Matt talked about the pair of Philly starters that shut down the Buccos on Saturday and Sunday. Is Jhostynxon Garcia going to be the player called up to fill the injury void left by Ryan O’Hearn?

Golf Minute – Aaron Rai is the winner of the 2026 PGA Championship. How big of a long-shot was he? Did Poni betray us this weekend by withholding some key betting information?

Way-too-early game-by-game wins and losses, best road trip, is the schedule unfair to the Steelers and more!

The NFL schedule is out. National voices are already saying it will be the first losing season since 2003 – something that has been said for most of this decade and has yet to happen. However, all of those years were under Mike Tomlin and this time it is Mike McCarthy. Poni thinks it will be a losing season. Poni is also confused as to why people are so obsessive over the 1 pm start time because m...

Mike Tomlin will return to Pittsburgh on Sunday Night Football this year. Poni thinks that there is a chance that Tomlin gets booed in his return. Poni is going down to Jacksonville for Steelers Jags on MNF this year. He also thinks that the Jags should play in Orlando instead of Jacksonville. Calls. More callers on the Steelers and preferred start times. Donny Football Debrief – The guys pick 6 g...
