Another Patriot villain was left out of the Hall of Fame – Robert Kraft. He’s actually been on the ballot for quite some time. The Steelers just hired a guy with a Patriots cheating connection – Steve Scarnecchia, whose dad was on the Patriots staff through the 2000s. Steve’s nickname was ‘spygate.’ Steve is being hired as the ‘chief of staff.’ Are the Patriots still hated like they were with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick? Chris argued that the Patriots were never really a rival to the Steelers because it was mostly a one-sided affair.

Yes, fans still hate the Patriots.

Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt’s take to the Pirates not getting Eugenio Suarez is that the team will be pushed to bring up Konnor Griffin faster. He thinks the familiarity Suarez has in Cincy is likely why he chose them over the Pirates. Matt likes the effort from the Pirates in the offseason, but said they still have to make it more desirable to outside free agents. Matt believes Mitch Keller is definitely off the board right now. Will the Pirates have a backup plan and could that be Marcell Ozuna? The Andrew McCutchen reunion might be over. Does Matt think Limits would hit a major league pitch?
