A satisfying win for the Pirates last night and a chance to win 3 straight games for the first time since the early stages of the season.

Jeff thinks the Pirates may have found something with Joey Bart, who has had a pretty consistent bat when in the lineup. Jeff doesn’t see this being the year they get to the postseason and compared it to 2012 when they were on the doorstep. Has Jeff ever seen a character arc like Rowdy Tellez has this season?

Is Donny hooked on golf?

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike commented on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spending upwards of $100,000 per day. Mike gave his thoughts on Cam Sutton being suspended 8 games by the NFL. Is there a thought the Steelers could just cut ties with Sutton? He thinks if the incident was caught on camera, Sutton would probably never play in the league again. Chris asked Mike why Sutton didn’t decide to appeal the penalty. Mike doesn’t like the idea thrown out there by Joe Burrow about the NFL schedule – he appreciates the creativity, but doesn’t think it will happen. Will the NFL eventually take another day of the week and work their way to the entire week? Mike proposed a future Labor Day weekend schedule. Mike had thoughts on the off-season version of Hard Knocks with the Giants.

A report from Paul Zeise suggesting the Pirates could be in pursuit of Taylor Ward as the trade deadline approaches. What would he add to the Pirates offense? As it turns out, he’d be a very nice fit. But is there actually a chance it happens?

Another report that caught our eye surrounding Jackson Holliday and Jared Jones being trade bait.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK talked about his days on the best third line in hockey and how he fit into his role.

Tyler thinks they will have to cut the skates off Crosby’s body when he hangs it up. Tyler talked about the motivation factor in Crosby’s play. Tyler said there are a lot of teams in the East getting stronger, but it’s hard to bet against Crosby. What went behind TK’s early offseason schedule?
