Poni is in the spotlight for his near 100 percent guarantee yesterday about Aiyuk. Dulac responded to dispute his report almost directly. Paul and Joe detail their experiences of getting stories wrong in the past. Why hasn't the majority of the Pittsburgh Steelers media. Aiyuk's agent was feet away from a report yesterday about Aiyuk. Poni better be right at this point. Calls on Aiyuk, including a contentious one from Tony, looking at all of the Pirates meltdowns recently. These Pirates losses have been extra painful. Why was McCutchen going on contact. Conner Joe stinks now, so does Holderman. Bednar has been shaky despite his run of consecutive saves prior to last night. How many Pirates would be in the lineup for other good teams? Mike DeFabo joins to discuss Aiyuk, speculating it could be 50/50, the #2 receiver, fullback talk, Justin Fields chances to unseat Russ by the season opener and why he isn't getting many reps on Friday, Fitzgerald bobblehead chatter, bidet talk, three players to monitor tomorrow.

Jeff Hathhorn joins to discuss the mood in the Pirates clubhouse, if Shelton/Cherington could be dismissed, his intel on Aiyuk, what Fields' showing actually means, Peyton Wilson. Revisiting the call from Tony. Why have the local Steelers media missed so many breaking stories regarding QBs in the past few years. Joe wants to use this idea for a new segment.

John Perrotto chimes in to react to the Pirates' recent horrible losses, why De La Cruz was on the bench, not using Bart, Joe's struggles, the odds of resigning McCutchen, free association. The Pirates are losing already, Collin Holderman is on the IL, more changes need to be made this offseason. At least Chapman hit 105 mph. The team  needs multiple lineup upgrades.
