Mike DeFabo of The Athletic joins for all things Steelers, the NFL Combine, and later, a small game of PTI (Paul Thinks Incrinculently)

Ray Fittipaldo of the Post-Gazette joins for all things Steelers, the likeliness of Mason Rudolph returning, and which players to keep an eye on at the NFL Combine/NFL Draft.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joins for all things Pens, including their 2-0 loss to Seattle last night, the looming trade deadline, and where the Penguins stand in the NHL wild card race.

Joe has to perform at tonight's Feed The Need variety show, hosted by Larry Richert. Joe's a little nervous. Just a little. The guys get into a sports six pack, with emphasis on the Penguins, as well as the Pirates' catching situation, and the basketball dominance from LeBron James and Caitlin Clark.

The full Joe Starkey Show, with Paul Zeise, from Thursday, Feb. 29th, 2024

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: The Steelers quarterback controversy is all anyone is talking about. Steelers broadcaster Bill Hillgrove has retired after 30 years. He will remain calling Pitt football games on 93.7 The Fan. We rate quarterback options as a backup to Kenny Pickett, or a starter, on a scale of 1-5. Paul Zeise joins the show. We discuss golf courses we'd want to play and also if golf is shifting to a more football-like atmosphere. NFL mock drafts are addicting. It's easy to read them and react.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: John Perrotto of Pittsburgh Sports Now joined the show. John is excited to see Paul Skenes make his spring training debut. His status is significant dating Livvy Dunne and being one of the best pitching prospects in years. John doesn't think Skenes will be overworked this season and could see 160 innings. The Athletic's Jim Bowden thinks Skenes will be up in September, but we all think before that, with around the All-Star break the latest.  John would bat Ke'Bryan Hayes leadoff, then Bryan Reynolds second. Cruz third, Suwinski fourth. He thinks Henry Davis will be in Indianapolis. The Penguins have won three in a row. Could Kyle Dubas stand pat at the trade deadline? Unless the Pens are willing to trade stars, the roster is not going to significantly change.
