The full Pomp and Joe Show, with Joe Starkey, from Tuesday, January 21st, 2025

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Joe believes this is the Pirates opportunity to steal the spotlight in Pittsburgh sports. We need the Pirates to move the needle with the Steelers and Penguins struggling and stuck in the middle with no where to go. We wouldn't do it, but what would a hypothetical Paul Skenes trade look like? Would the Dodgers give up their top 7 prospects?

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: The Pirates have the chance to steal the city back. We debate the college football playoff and the importance of conference championship games. Ray Fittipaldo wrote a story on if the Steelers are trailing the NFL on 4th-down effectiveness and aggressiveness.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: The Limitless Express: John doesn't think the Pirates have done nearly enough this offseason to add offense and more help in free agency. Should the Raiders try and hire Pete Carroll? Marlon Humphrey said 'we lost, get over it' and said the current Ravens team is done and there will be changes.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Mike tells us he is semi-retiring from the Post-Gazette and is taking a step back from major tasks, but still covering some games. Mike has been covering high schools sports full-time for 41 years. The greatest athletes he ever covered included Lavar Arrington, Terrelle Pryor, Suzie McConnell, and Swin Cash. Mike shares incredible stories, including a baseball player in Beaver Falls, John Challis, for living life to the fullest. An 11-year-old boy has found the Paul Skenes 1/1 autographed debut patch in Los Angeles.

John doesn't think the Pirates have done nearly enough this offseason to add offense and more help in free agency. Paul Skenes said he hasn't thought about a long-term deal and there haven't really been any discussions. John likes the Pirates rotation but wants them to sign a veteran starter.

Ray Fittipaldo wrote a story on if the Steelers are trailing the NFL on 4th-down effectiveness and aggressiveness. Washington, Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Buffalo have all been elite on 4th down, the Lions as well. Washington is converting 87% of the time! The Steelers are not nearly as aggressive.
