Hour 3: BREAKING NEWS: Derek Shelton said before tonight’s game that Paul Skenes will be making his next start in Indianapolis and not in Pittsburgh. Do we think that’s 100% legit? How much longer will we have to wait for him? Former Steeler Chris Hoke joined the show. Chris thinks the Najee Harris option decline was a little bit more telegraphed than we realized. He said Najee speaking out a little bit about how things were going likely played a factor. Chris doesn’t see Najee making a big deal of the option decline or else it would be a mistake in his career. Poni asked Chris how Danny Smith will play around with the new kick return rule.  Donny Football Debrief – When are we getting the NFL schedule?

Hour 1: Last night was the Tom Brady roast. We gave our review. Poni didn’t watch it and he’s worried that he will get too into former Patriots if he watches things like this. Donny was a fan of the show overall.  How did fans feel about the Tom Brady roast? Pirates pitcher Jared Jones joined the show. Jared confirmed that he is an iCarly fan and will go back and watch old Nickelodeon shows when he’s not in the midst of a baseball season. Jared got into his success this season and what has led to it. He said his pissed off demeanor is a big key to pitching as well as he has. Poni asked Jared about some of the accomplishments he’s already crossed off one month into his big-league career. Jared talked about his relationship with Paul Skenes and the excitement he has for Paul’s arrival, hopefully later this week.

Hour 4: One person thinks that Kenny Pickett was wronged in Pittsburgh, but the guys aren't so sure. Would you ever go on a nudist cruise? And Intern Dom thought Chris was alive for John Lennon's assassination.

Open Phone Friday.

Could the Steelers still be looking to make a deal with Najee Harris? We also heard why one insider thinks the Steelers gave Kenny Pickett a raw deal. 

Hour 3: The Steelers have a very interesting plan for Justin Fields that doesn't involve him playing quarterback. The guys go down a fast food rabbit hole. Mark Kaboly joins the show to talk all about Najee Harris and the Steelers. Donny Football Debrief. Chase Claypool has a new home (again).

Steelers insider Mark Kaboly from The Athletic joined the show. Mark reacted to Najee Harris being declined his 5th year option. He said Najee being a bit outspoken in the building may have played a factor, but he doesn’t think his personality will change. Mark thinks it was a move all about money and what the Steelers see as the worth for running backs now. Mark brought up the fact that the Steelers will be looking at a decision with Jaylen Warren sooner rather than later and it may cost more than they are expecting. What does Mark think of the Justin Fields returning kicks idea? Will there be packages in the offense when Fields is used? Mark doesn’t think it is as easy as everyone thinks it is to find a good RB around the league. 

And the big news that the Big Mac is getting bigger led us down a road of fast food eating adventures.

Hour 2: Is it fair to blame the Pirates hitting coach for the team's offensive struggles? Poni shares an interesting voicemail the station recieved today. Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise are throwing out the first pitch at the Pirates game tonight. Could you fair catch a football in a game situation? Poni is fascinated over who created NFL Sunday Ticket. And the guys return to the Auction House!

Bucco Auction House – Round 2. 

There is a report that Andy Haines isn’t going anywhere because he signed a new contract heading into the season. The assumption is that it is only a 1-year deal. Do you fault Haines for how bad the team is at hitting? How much do you put on the players? 

Hour 1: The guys continue to react to the Najee Harris news from yesterday. Poni wonders if the Steelers should ever draft a running back in the first round ever again. Are The Beatles overrated? The Penguins have made an interesting coaching move today, but does it mean that bigger moves are on the way? And Chris doesn't remember if he was at a Pens playoff game in 2017.
