YinzCenter

It's just about that time for the 2024 NFL season to kick off, the fantasy football drafts have all settled and the YinzCenter boys lay out their prediction hands just before the season gets kicked off to get YOU ready for the end of the year. We laid out last year's Steeler trap games for you (Texans and Jets) and we give you the ones to keep an eye on for this season We break down the Steelers c...

Description You're still here? Cool, check it out I type here too sometimes lmao. The Pirates are out of playoff contention in even more glorious fashion than before, as is Pittsburgh's end of August tradition, just like kids going back to school and Pittsburgh football is just on the horizon, several college football games just hours away, fantasy football teams are being drafted across the count...

Description

10 straight losses to teams ahead of you in a playoff race will pretty much bury any competing team and that's where the Pittsburgh Pirates find themselves at the halfway point of August, tumbling down to last place in the NL Central, so begins the traditional Yinzer focus shift from baseball to football. Is it any rosier on the gridiron with the Steelers? Looks rough for now, but is there hope? T...

After a lovely dinner with their grandmother, the YinzCenter boys are back as the playoff race we least expected to see in Pittsburgh might very well already be over as the Pirates dropped a crucial series against the Diamondbacks and continue to not look like the inferior team against the San Diego Padres. Steeler football is right around the corner and Cody has EXCLUSIVE INSIDER INFORMATION FROM...

Back from a brief 7/24 day hiatus and it appears that the first serious playoff push YinzCenter will be covering will be your Pittsburgh Pirates (yes the Steelers made the playoffs, but they never had a real shot against the Bills) after GM Ben Cherington found multiple ways to address the needs in the batting lineup, we break down the chances for an actual postseason berth. Speaking of Steelers,...

The big headline from this past week in Pittsburgh? Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes started and looked good in one inning of the MLB All Star Game. Will the Pirates actually make a push for a bat? The real big headline from this past week in Pittsburgh, the attempted assassination of former President, Donald Trump, at his rally in Butler, PA on Saturday, July 13, 2024. How suspicious is all of this al...

While the Pirates continue to tread water in the NL wild card race, Paul Skenes continues to shine and grab all the MLB headlines as he has proven in a short span that he is already the best pitcher in the MLB, as we have been telling you, and is now headed to the All Star game, we ask the big question: Are the playoffs attainable for this team?

With the Stanley Cup Final concluded, the NHL has rushed the offseason happenings as the NHL Draft and first two days of free agency are mostly behind us, a lot of the big waves have already crashed through our lives. We look at where the Penguins stands after their current free agent class acquistions of Blake Lizotte, Matt Grzelyck, Anthony Beauvillier and AHLers. We also try to answer a lot of...

We continue our One Year Anniversary tour with the return of Davie "Sunshine" Phillips to wrap up the 2023-24 NHL Season (finally) as the Florida Panthers claim Lord Stanley's Cup. We recap some of the takes we put out into the world last time Davie was on (October 27, 2023), as well as dive in to the mind of a Columbus Blue Jackets fan and realize that with the Pittsburgh Pirates around, we can r...

The official one year mark of YinzCenter has come and gone, and to celebrate: We throw things back to our very first episode, where we had 2010 Paralympic Gold Medalist and Primanti Brother's mural face, Dan McCoy on. Nevin and Dan discuss the latest happenings in the sled hockey world while we sum up the current state of the Stanley Cup Finals, NHL Trades (during playoffs?), Paul Skenes, the nons...

On YinzCenter's first ever Saturday episode, we discuss whether the Pirates are worth discussing or not, the Penguins hiring of Dan Quinn as an assistant coach on Mike Sullivan's staff and we remember when the Penguins were actually winning Stanley Cups. We look back as we rapidly approach almost one full year of YinzCenter and perhaps the future might just hold even more YinzCenter for all of yin...

We miss almost all of the exciting portions of the Pirates and Dodgers game on June 5th to deliver you a show where we talk about the Stanley Cup Finals and bring you another round of correcting Penguins trades we see from clickbait websites.

Not really much else going on besides that guy pitching, huh? Does Skenes open up a World Series window for the Pirates? Those are questions we answer during this episode. We avoid Steelers OTA reports by making up Penguins rumors, such as Mitch Marner for Ryan Graves, Reilly Smith and P.O. Joseph. If you're asking "is that even possible?" find out how this week on YinzCenter! (It's a better rumor...

@aurenhalbert7829 joins the show to talk about his gold medal winning performance with Team Canada at the 2024 Para Ice Hockey World Championship, winning gold in his hometown of Calgary, Alberta, and his time spent with the Pittsburgh Penguins sled hockey program. Your YinzCenter boys finally have a game to recap with another Paul Skenes afternoon game that led to another dud for the Buccos. The...

First off, what is that last eight week of the Steelers schedule? Brutal. We break down the Pittsburgh pro football schedule and what to expect for the year before training camp begins and we take a look at what the Penguins have on their plate for the off season. Is there a YinzCenter curse? Last week we complimented the USA sled hockey team's recent dominance, the Timberwolves and Val Nichuskin...

The most anticipated Pittsburgh Pirates prospect since Gerrit Cole, Paul Skenes, is set to make his MLB debut on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs and that is pretty much the only Pittsburgh sports news that is worthy of headlines right now. We discuss that, who has impressed us so far in the NHL playoffs, touch base with the NBA postseason, and we get ready for our first ever fantasy football dyn...

YinzCenter celebrates Nevin's birthday (May 1) with a lovely medley, reviewing some of the most brutal crimes in Greensburg's history, and discussing how badly the Pirates suck right now. Do you know someone who would make a great guest on our show? Please feel free to reach out and we'll be glad to see what we can make work!

Nevin and the Pittsburgh Penguins sled hockey team returned home from their National Championship tournament with a well-earned silver medal. Nev gives the full breakdown on that before we jump into a sudden rush of sports action with playoffs kicking off, NFL draft buzz at ridiculous levels and the Pirates...being the Pirates.

Frankly we really thought we were going to get at least one round of Penguin playoff hockey in during our first year of YinzCenter, but with the Red Wings and Capitals both winning their respective game last night, we begin to break down the ugly reality in front of Mr. Dubas and the Pittsburgh Penguins organization as while we believe change is needed, with all of these players with No-Movement-C...

This week, the YinzCenter boys discuss the do-or-die Penguins final four regular season games, the possibly brewing Pirate closer "controversy" and Nevin brings you a sled hockey update. We also remember when the Penguins played the Red Wings in other pivotal moments in history.

While rising waters are all the rage across western Pennsylvania, the Pens and Buccos are simultaneously hot inspiring hope in the YinzCenter boys. We finally get to call some type of play while we record and Nevin is amazed by John Wayne and Lyndon B. Johnson.

Can you believe we are dropping episodes on MLB Opening Day? We can't! We break down how we think the Pirates fare against the rest of the MLB. We are intrigued by the new NFL kickoff rule and the Penguins are still in 7th place in the Metro division.

The big college basketball tournament has just begun and the 11th seeded Duquesne Dukes have already moved on to the second round before the boys could bring you their brackets. Nevin's Duquesne fever is intensifying by the second as he has picked the Dukes to win it all in his bracket. We bring plenty of bracket talk this week, we embrace the tank as we start breaking down who is worse than the P...

On this week's episode of YinzCenter, the boys catch up on the wild week of Pittsburgh sports as the Penguins look to righten the ship for one last playoff gasp after a win on the Jagr bobblehead VOUCHER night. The Steelers are making moves that are making waves and a couple of local college basketball teams are looking to punch their ticket to the big championship playoff event, Nevin also brings...
