The Pomp And Joe Show

Pens hit the road. Should they make big changes at the deadline? Trade Jarry? Would a good road trip turn out to be detrimental?

Joe wants to make Paul happy with some different music rejoins. Paul and Joe make Steelers offseason decisions position by position, but we get caught up on the QB debate.

Paul is here and he's back after a health scare. Joe had something similar recently. A discussion of death and family. It turns into a discussion about youth sports.

Joe still misses Ron. Friend of the show Peter King announced his retirement earlier today. Who are other great football writers who have retired? Bob and Joe wish him well in retirement. 

Joe and Bob discuss the Penguins game against the Philadelphia Flyers. They remain in the playoff discussion however they lost Bryan Rust for an unseeable future. This Western Coast trip coming up is one of the biggest the team has had in a long time. Joe thinks they need to let the guys shoot the puck and play Penguin hockey instead of the defensive system they currently have. 

A quick discussion on was the hit on Bryan Rust dirty? We move onto the Pirates and the play of Oneil Cruz. What are Bob's thoughts on the Mitch Keller extension? The NL Central has gotten stronger as this offseason went on. The Pirates were graded as a D- on their offseason moves. 

What are we to make of Ben Cherington's comments about the catching competition? Is Henry Davis the backup catcher? How are we to interpret the catching situation in Bradenton? A very weird conversation about a dolphin and its two stomach's happens much to the confusion of everyone except Starkey. 

Jason Mackey joins the show to talk about Cherington's comments about the catcher position. He suggests that it is possible they send Henry Davis to the minors to catch some games before coming back up. The question will be if he hits very well but cannot catch, what do you do? If he is bad in both areas he will be in the minors. We then go around the field to talk about who could make the team in what spots. 

A Bob Pompeani showdown! Does Bob not like fun?

Former Duquesne women's basketball coach Dan Durkin hops on the show to talk about storming the court and if it should be allowed. Joe tells us the top ranked play callers in the NFL. 

'Texts in the City'.
