Afternoons 3-6 on 105.9 The X

OPENING MONOLOGUE - Ben ain't playing against the Browns on Sunday, and Mark tells you why that's the right move to make. Some other starters arent expected to play either, including some younger players who Mark wonders if they really need the rest and shouldn't play. He also gets into the Penguins as training camp is next week...and lasts less than two weeks before real games with stakes start in Philadelphia.

We then here some great sound from Booger McFarland on ESPN addressing athletes who aren't focused or have the maturity to approach football as the job it is. Sounds familiar....

Nate Davis from USA Today joins the show to discuss if the Steelers second half was just a flash in the pan, or if the team really turned it around. He also gets into who has the best shot to dethrone the Chiefs out of the AFC, the MVP race, and where he sees the Steelers right now.
