KDKA TV legend Bob Pompeani joined the show. Pomp recapped his Valentine’s Day plans…and some funny plans of the past. The guys asked Pomp what the Penguins can do to try and fix their issues. Bob said he is not ready to cut the cord on Mike Sullivan. Is there a fear in that building about what happens if the Penguins ice bad hockey teams for the next few seasons?

Rockstar Bret Michaels joined the show. Bret said he has dated women who were fans of all of the AFC North, but it always came back to Pittsburgh. The guys asked Bret about his tour coming to town and how the son of Mike Tomlin is involved. Bret said he can’t wait to celebrate with the fans. Is he nervous to throw out the first pitch at PNC Park for the home opener?

Hour 1: The Penguins were bullied around the ice for 60 minutes last night as the Panthers came into town and left with a 5-2 win. What should the Pens do now? Jake Guentzel was also injured last night – is the trade off the table? Is it time to start asking questions about Mike Sulllivan? There are a lot of parallels between the football team and the hockey team in this town. 

Fans gave suggestions on what the Penguins should do now and if this team still has any sort of life this season. 

The power play continues to be a problem and it drew boos from the crowd last night at home. How do fans feel about it?

Hour 4: It looks like we have another battle between the national and local media on what the Steelers will do with the quarterback position. The Steelers insiders are poo pooing every outside QB that could be available and are pushing a narrative that Mason Rudolph will be back. What would it take for Rudolph to come back? Why would he want to? If the Rudolph thing was going to happen, why aren’t the Steelers openly talking to him right now before free agency sets in? Wouldn’t it create an awkward situation for Kenny Pickett and the rest of the locker room? How would the guys feel if that actually happened? 

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff doesn’t agree with the idea of bringing Mason Rudolph back because of the tension it could cause in the Steelers facility. Jeff said Rudolph really wants to see what’s out there and doesn’t expect him to come back with his tail between his legs like last season. Jeff doesn’t buy into the idea that the Steelers would take a 1st round QB to put added pressure on Kenny Pickett. How stiff will the QB competition be? Does Justin Fields have the potential to take off with the Steelers even though he didn’t in Chicago? Jeff would side with Fields, citing his big play ability and potential. 

Kevin Colbert downplayed the importance of analytics around the NFL. Is it fair to criticize Colbert for how his final years were as the Steelers GM? Is it a bad thing when front office members have too much of an emotional connection to a player? We also got Valentine’s Day advice from Paul Zeise.

Hour 3: Pitchers and catchers reported today – that means baseball season is right around the corner. There are some big Pirates prospect questions going into this season. When will we see Paul Skenes and how much will he pitch? What is their plan with the bullpen? Could Henry Davis start in AAA? We want to see Davis truly fail behind the plate before the Pirates throw the towel in on him there. 

Aditi Kinkhabwala from the NFL on CBS joined the show. Aditi commented on the conundrum the Bears face with Justin Fields and Caleb Williams. The guys asked Aditi if Fields fits better in the Arthur Smith offense than Kenny Pickett does. Aditi thinks Pickett can be like what Baker Mayfield did this season. Aditi gave her view of where the Steelers are at with the quarterback position. 

Donny Football Debrief – The Steelers fans are the second drunkest in the NFL.
