The full Pomp and Joe Show, with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey, from Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Art Rooney II said the Steelers feel good about Aaron Rodgers and Rodgers signing. Is Ben onboard? Penn State men's hockey forward and Pittsburgh native Matt DiMarsico joined the show. DiMarsico is from Wexford, played for Pens Elite, and scored the game-winning goal to send Penn State hockey to its first Frozen Four. he Pirates have demoted David Bednar to Triple-A.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: The Penguins have promoted a few young players, including Rutger McGroarty. Jay thinks Crosby still has a lot left in the tank but won't be someone that goes to a second or third line and still play if he can't be at a great, elite level. NFL rule changes. Half the NFL wants to ban the tush push, including the Steelers.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Andrew McCutchen is trying a new position? David Bednar has to figure out his splitter and this is not a "quick fix." Dan thinks the Pirates will re-tool a lot of Bednar's repertoire. Dan would use Dennis Santana or Ryan Borucki in the closer role, at the moment. IKF has been one of the Pirates best hitters. Should the Pirates allow Paul Skenes to hit?

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Was Mark sleeping at the owners meeting talking to Mike Tomlin??? Kaboly claims he was in "deep thought" when he was allegedly asleep when sitting next to Tomlin. Mark thinks the Steelers believe Aaron Rodgers will be their quarterback. Roman Wilson needs to fight his way back to be a main piece in the Steelers offense.

Roman Wilson needs to fight his way back to be a main piece in the Steelers offense. Calvin Austin has become their No. 2.

Was Mark sleeping at the owners meeting talking to Mike Tomlin??? Kaboly claims he was in "deep thought" when he was allegedly asleep when sitting next to Tomlin. Mark knew he was being videoed BUT said it was not staged. Mark thinks the Steelers believe Aaron Rodgers will be their quarterback and is pretty confident after the owners meetings.

Paul Skenes' college coach thought he could be a good hitter in an MLB lineup and we wonder if the Pirates should even consider it. The Pirates offense needs a boost. Bob doesn't think the Pirates will.

Noah Hiles of the Post-Gazette posted a video of Andrew McCutchen taking ground balls at first base. Dan suggested this last year but he doesn't think they will throw McCutchen into this unless he is VERY comfortable. David Bednar has to figure out his splitter and this is not a "quick fix."

Half the NFL wants to ban the tush push, including the Steelers. Why didn't the Steelers try to run it? The Lions proposal to make illegal contact or defensive holding just a five-year penalty and not a first down did not pass. Touchbacks will now move the ball to the 35-yard line.
