The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller

Omar Khan joined the Deebo and Joe podcast to say that the Steelers are in communication with Aaron Rodgers and his agent. He did not elaborate on that. Poni thinks that this means that things are not going well with the Steelers and Rodgers. The Steelers created the impression that the Rodgers situation would not drag on this year, and obviously, it has. Mullsy says that Rodgers acts like he does...

Mike McCarthy has had nothing but praise for Drew Allar thus far. Poni says that he is starting to come around on McCarthy, although he is not all the way there yet. Mike Defabo said that Mike McCarthy gave more feedback to Drew Allar than Mike Tomlin ever did to Ben Roethlisberger in his career. Poni thinks that this is because Tomlin just did not know how to develop quarterbacks. Mullsy original...

Kyle Dubas held his end-of-season press conference today and the big question & answer was in regard to the future of Evgeni Malkin. Is that the smartest move by the Penguins right now? He was still a point per game player this past season and really isn’t blocking an abundance of young talent since he made the move from center to wing. All along it felt like the tea leaves were saying the Penguin...

Donny Football Debrief – The first MNF game has been announced, but we don’t know where the game will take place. More NFL schedule leaks.

Bucco Minute – The Pirates are the biggest favorite they have been since 2005. You have to bet $335 to win $100 on them to beat the Rockies tonight. The last time they were a favorite this big was Pirates vs Rockies in 2005. Zach Duke pitched against Jeff Francis. Donny successfully named the entire starting lineup for the Pirates in this game.

Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz joined the show. Ferentz is a Western PA guy and would also know better than anyone about the recent Steelers draft picks that played for him at Iowa. Kirk jokingly advised Gennings Dunker to not eat any fish he catches in The Mon. Kirk talked about the emergence of Hawkeyes that have gotten drafted by the Steelers in recent years. Kirk said he has a ton of re...

Chris Boswell and the Steelers agreed to terms today on a 4-year deal worth $28M that locks the kicker up through the 2030 season. The contract ties Boswell with Brandon Aubrey as the league’s highest-paid kicker. Side note – why does the local media always post different contract details to make it seem like the team got a better deal? Boswell is 6th all-time in field goal percentage, behind a fe...

Mike McCarthy raved about Drew Allar on Saturday, saying that he made a very good first impression. There is definitely some excitement and buzz surrounding the Steelers third-round pick. Poni is not a fan of the Steelers first-round pick Max Iheanachor, as he thinks the Steelers have to teach him how to play his own position. Does Mike McCarthy deserve any credit for developing Aaron Rodgers? Mul...

The Pirates dropped the series finale in San Francisco in 12 innings and went 3-3 on the road trip out west. The Pirates outfield defense has been absolutely atrocious this year. Poni says that he feels good about Soto and Santana in the bullpen, but that’s it. Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt says that he would not give up either one of Barco or Johnson for Brooks Raley, who...

Another weekend goes by without Aaron Rodgers signing with the Steelers. Did he catch onto the scent that people knew he would be in town? The guys wanted to start with something that was brought up last week – is Rodgers a ‘washed-up diva’? The guys think you can argue he’s more of a diva than he is washed-up. The numbers looked fine last year, but did he pass the eye-test? Is Aaron Rodgers a div...

Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt says that he would not give up either one of Barco or Johnson for Brooks Raley, who the Pirates are reportedly looking to acquire. Matt does not like the potential idea of a 6-man rotation upon the return of Jared Jones.

Mo Egger from ESPN Radio in Cincinnati joined the show. Mo saw every snap from Brendan Sorsby last season covering the Cincinnati Bearcats. Sorsby is likely going to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft after he was busted for gambling last month when he was part of the Indiana Hoosiers roster. Mo said he’s been wondering if he’s missing something about Sorsby, since everyone is labeling him early as...

Crowley and Dorin reported that Aaron Rodgers is coming to Pittsburgh this weekend… then came the fall out!
