Smith’s Sayings – What did Arthur Smith say to the media today? KDKA TV’s Bob Pompeani joined the show. Did the Steelers make a mistake trading George Pickens?

HOUR 1 - Rudolph love, Calls, Jason Mackey

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller ·

2025/11/20

Poni had a question for everyone to start today’s show – where did the Mason Rudolph love come from? How much of the heavy lifting does the end of the 2023 season do? Chris said people love a comeback story going back to biblical days. Did he get a raw deal? People haven’t seen him play bad football in Pittsburgh for a little while. Where does the love for Mason Rudolph come from? One caller, missing the point, wondered why the guys were ‘praising’ Duck Hodges in 2019. Pirates/Penguins reporter

2025/11/20

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said it’s a ‘better than 50% chance’ that Aaron Rodgers plays on Sunday. The guys asked Ray if Rodgers would be pushing to play if they weren’t in Chicago this weekend. How much of a gap exists between Rodgers and Mason Rudolph right now? Ray said Rudolph has been ‘money’ since that rough patch he hit in his second season back in 2019. Ray thinks there is a realistic chance Rudolph is the Week 1 starter in 2026. Ray said the coaches

2025/11/20

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve said he would rate Aaron Rodgers a 5.5/10 right now and Mason Rudolph a 4.5/10 – answering the same question Poni asked Pomp in the 3 pm hour. Steve isn’t convinced Rodgers is playing better football than Ben Roethlisberger did in his last couple years. Steve described Rodgers as ‘a tick off’ in his last few games. How good has the Steelers offensive line been in protection of Rodgers? Steve isn’t sure why Darius Slay would go right back into

Jason Mackey reacts to Pirates free agent rumors

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller ·

2025/11/20

Pirates/Penguins reporter Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show. Jason confirmed that the Pirates did offer Josh Naylor a contract, but doesn’t think Naylor was close to leaving Seattle. Jason thinks they will spend some money this off-season, but players like Naylor and Kyle Schwarber are probably too rich. Jason questioned why a free agent worth $30M/year would come to Pittsburgh. Jason believes it’s ‘very possible’ that Konnor Griffin begins the 2026 season on the Pirates roster as their

Rodgers Rebuttals – What did Aaron Rodgers say to the media earlier today? Steelers insider Brian Batko from the PG joined the show. Brian feels like Aaron Rodgers will play on Sunday. What type of limitations will he have? Brian talked about the glow up for Mason Rudolph with the fans. If Darius Slay plays on Sunday, how much leeway will he get with James Pierre playing so well? Brian doesn’t know why people bring up the ‘football’ side of George Pickens because there was never a doubt of his

HOUR 3 - Players pushed Pickens out, ALL ACCESS, Debrief

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller ·

2025/11/19

We have more of an answer on why the Steelers traded George Pickens. It wasn’t the front office being at its wits end with him – it was his teammates. Poni thought Joe brought up a good point earlier today, questioning why any of these guys have the grounds to decide who is/isn’t on the team since they haven’t won a damn thing? How much of a say did Aaron Rodgers have in this (who wasn’t on the roster when they made the trade)? ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi doesn’t believe the George Pickens trade

HOUR 2 - Is Rudolph best backup Steelers QB?, Matt...

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller ·

2025/11/19

Aaron Rodgers talked to the media today and the guys think that is a telltale sign that he will play on Sunday. Usually, a QB won't talk to the reporters if he isn’t going to play a few days later. Poni posed the question – is Mason Rudolph the best backup QB in team history? He has more wins than Charlie Batch in backup duty. We looked back at some backup QBs in Steelers lore. Poni thinks Rudolph pulling Mike Tomlin and his team out of the ground in 2023 is something that could win him some

HOUR 1 - Excitement for Pirates fans, The Fan vs The...

2025/11/19

Are you starting to get excited, Pirates fans? The report from Jeff Passan the other day had us wondering if the Pirates would actually follow up on their lofty off-season expectations. The mood was pretty dire – questioning if it would be any different than the off-season’s we are used to. Poni said he has heard it will be the ‘best off-season under Bob Nutting.’ Well, we’ll see about that. The Fan vs The Fans. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The guys asked TK why he doesn’t go on

Steelers insider Brian Batko from the PG joined the show. Brian feels like Aaron Rodgers will play on Sunday. What type of limitations will he have? Brian talked about the glow up for Mason Rudolph with the fans. If Darius Slay plays on Sunday, how much leeway will he get with James Pierre playing so well? Brian doesn’t know why people bring up the ‘football’ side of George Pickens because there was never a doubt of his ability. Brian thinks the Steelers lose in Chicago.

2025/11/19

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi doesn’t believe the George Pickens trade will go down as the ‘worst’ in Steelers history and sometimes a player just needs that change of scenery. Aditi referenced Baker Mayfield going through the same thing in Cleveland. Is it a smarter move for the Steelers to play Aaron Rodgers or Mason Rudolph on Sunday? She said Rodgers is the starter for a reason and an opponent like the Bears probably gets his juices flowing a little bit more.

Florio: Rodgers has to treat this like last ride

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller ·

2025/11/19

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. The guys asked Mike about his card collecting days and he explained why 1976 was a big year. Mike also gave quite an interesting take on an ice cream topping. Once the talk got to football, it turned to Aaron Rodgers and if he would play in Chicago on Sunday. Mike expects Rodgers to play and that he will do everything in his power to play against the Bears one more time. Mike thinks Rodgers is aware that this could be his final season, which could

Matt Clement reacts to Pirates off-season rumors

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller ·

2025/11/19

Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. The guys asked Matt about the Pirates off-season rumors and if the team has any shot to make a mark. Matt went through some names the Pirates should truly pursue. He thinks, even though the staff is already strong, the Pirates should look into pitchers like Ranger Suarez if his market isn’t as strong as expected. Matt said the Pirates can’t wait too long with Paul Skenes on their roster and they need to show urgency. Is it a good idea for the Pirates

Tyler Kennedy discusses Malkin's future

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller ·

2025/11/19

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The guys asked TK why he doesn’t go on the Morning Show, but he’s present on the others. Tyler said the weirdest guy he played hockey with was Brent Burns – sighting the extensive reptile collection and the quirky things he’d do. How many players are more superstitious than Sidney Crosby? There are reports that Evgeni Malkin will have a sit-down with Kyle Dubas to discuss future options, which could mean more Geno in a Penguins uniform.
