Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Starkey Six Pack. Steelers sign kick returner/WR/RB Cordarrelle Patterson. If kickers kick the ball out of bounds, it goes to the 30 instead of the 25. In the XFL, it was to the 35. Paul proposes to the 40 yard line. The new kickoff rule makes things worse without a 10 yard difference this season from the 25 yard line through the end zone instead of the 35. Joe isn't very excited for Patterson because he's old and people will kick around him. How are we supposed to believe the Pirates are about winning when Bailey Falter is in the rotation. The Penguins beat Carolina 4-1 yesterday. The NCAA is trying to remove college prop bets. NCAA President Charlie Baker thinks it is an issue with the integrity of college sports. It appears you can pick teams, but not prop bets. Betting is not going anywhere. Jeff Patton of the Baseball Card Castle joined the show for this week's Starkey's Card of the Week is a Jared Jones signed rookie card.
