Starkey & Mueller

PM Team FULL Show 5-30-24

Is Poni turning into a horny old man? And we listened to what a couple of Steelers had to say today in the second week of OTAs. Do we like Joey Porter Jr. saying he can be the best corner in football? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. The guys asked Ray about the big storylines today at OTAs. Ray got into the tight ends and if we will see big seasons from Pat Freiermuth and/or Darnell Washington. Ray expects Washington to be more of a blocking player than a big-play one. Ray thinks Jaylen Warren will be the biggest beneficiary of the Arthur Smith offense. The guys asked Ray about a trade package or what it would take to acquire Brandon Aiyuk. Total Request Thursday.

ESPN says the Steelers only have a 29% chance to make the playoffs – the lowest of any returning AFC playoff team. Fair or foul? We talked about the stat that usually shows us that roughly 5 teams are new in the playoffs league-wide from the year prior. If you don’t think they will get in, who are the teams ahead of them? Who are some of the best overall players in the league? Who are the teams to look out for right now in the AFC? How serious should we be taking Jim Harbaugh with the Chargers or Aaron Rodgers with the Jets? We also debated going number two in Porta John’s during big events. Donny Football Debrief – We have some times out for the college football season.

A Henry Davis trade hypothetical and a couple of funny calls from the Nightly Sports Call. KDKA TV legend Bob Pompeani joined the show. They asked Pomp about some jobs he had growing up. Bob gave his initial reaction to the Backyard Brawl being scheduled at 3:30 with a Pirates game later that day. The guys asked Bob why he was so against a Henry Davis trade. Pomp gave his percentage chance that the Steelers trade for Brandon Aiyuk. What about Cam Heyward and his contract status? Bucco Minute – Paul Skenes dazzled again yesterday. We were surprised at the lack of excitement from Joe Block in his call. Is it outlandish that Poni thinks Skenes will be the best athlete in Pittsburgh by the time we reach 2025?

The guys are washing cars for the Fan Five Alarm Marathon at Bowser Chevy. We got into a little discussion about Brandon Aiyuk and if the Steelers should make their move on him when June 1st hits. Poni wants Donny to try to book Uncle Kracker for the show tomorrow. HOCKEY TALK! What are the financials expected to be for Jake Guentzel as he hits free agency this off-season?

With the likelihood the Patriots cut ties with JuJu Smith-Schuster, should the Steelers give him a ring? There was also a question in a Steelers chat regarding Cam Heyward and if the team would sign him to an extension for basically the same amount of money. Should the Steelers be afraid of Heyward going elsewhere? We had a little bit of fun with callers yesterday. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Tyler commented on Dan Bylsma being back in the NHL and said he would join his staff if contacted. The guys asked about the end of the line for Bylsma and how it differed from when he first came around. TK commented on if the Penguins would entertain paying Jake Guentzel $70M over the course of 7 years.
