Steelers GM Omar Khan joined the show. Omar is aware of The Wire and Star Trek videos that go viral when the Steelers make a move. The guys started the conversation with Najee Harris after the Steelers declined the RBs 5th year option. Omar said he wants to see George Pickens with the ball in his hands and the special things he can do with it. Omar raved about how good they feel about the receivers going into the season following the minicamp and OTA sessions. The guys asked about the move to create more cap room via the restructuring of Alex Highsmith and his contract. Omar commented on the ‘unfinished business’ remark he made on a national show earlier this year. He expressed his excitement in the extension of Mike Tomlin and getting to work alongside him every day. Omar said he’s pretty boring and he’s just all football as he got into his Father’s Day plans. The guys asked what went behind the process in bringing back Cam Sutton and if the team is aware of any sort of suspension. Omar joked about Justin Fields being a kick returner and got into the expectations for him as we enter the 24-25 season. He didn’t get into the future plans for QB beyond this season. The guys asked about where things stand with Cam Heyward, who is in pursuit of a new deal. Omar was very excited to mention how big of an addition Patrick Queen will be to the team and defense. The guys ran through some questions about the rookie additions. The final question – how Omar felt about Mike Ditka trading the entire draft for Ricky Williams. Omar reflected on his dad and how important Father’s Day is to him.

KDKA TV legend Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob got the recap of the Omar Khan interview. He is also a new grandparent, for the fourth time. The guys wanted to get Pomp’s thoughts on the US Open so far through some of the opening round. Pomp got the update on the Buccos as the call wrapped up.

US Open Minute – Tiger Woods got fans excited after the first hole, but the finish to the round wasn’t pretty. And local product Neal Shipley is at Pinehurst this weekend.

A little Pirates pregame as the Buccos get set for the rubber match against the Cardinals in St. Louis. The lineup today doesn’t look great, to say the least. Can Mitch Keller carry these guys to a victory? The guys didn’t like some of the young guns not playing after a night game. How much rest do young players really need? We also took a look at some of the trade candidates the Pirates *should* be taking a look at a little over a month from the deadline. Are there enough sellers around the league right now with so many teams in the middle?

Doug Whaley thinks the biggest criticism of Mike Tomlin comes from that coaching tree – pointing out how a coach so young to the league like Sean McVay has branches all over the place. Tomlin got his start as a very young defensive mind that was given a chance – why hasn’t he done that for someone else? The guys pointed out failures like Matt Canada and already-established names like Brian Flores. The guys also discovered a big question they want to ask Omar Khan. Should the Steelers finally retire Terry Bradshaw and the number 12?

What questions should the guys ask Omar Khan?

When could we see Justin Fields? Is he bound to be the Steelers QB in 2025? Do he and Mike Tomlin trust each other in that future spot? Najee Harris was not at the first day of minicamp, but it wasn’t anything like the Aaron Rodgers situation.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. The guys asked Jeff about which side of the football was winning on the second day of minicamp. Jeff commented on the participation of Najee Harris or lack thereof in the first two days of minicamp. Is there any chance we see George Pickens get snaps in the slot this season?
