    Feb 3 2026

    Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable take a look at players to watch for the Panthers as spring football rapidly approaches. This show is presented by FanDuel.

    With all eyes on the wide receivers room, who could emerge as Mason Heintschel's right-hand man? Why do Bryce Yates, Blue Hicks and Justin Cook jump out as potential options? Is Josh Guerrier poised for a breakout with more reps at defensive back? Why are cornerback and linebacker matchups to watch with a mixture of returning players and new faces?

    Stephen and Abby tackle those topics, plus give their picks and predictions for the Pitt basketball team's Tuesday night matchup vs. Virginia.

  • Ranking the Steelers' SUPER BOWL victories as big game looms? Will Seahawks beat Patriots?
    Feb 3 2026

    On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to rank the Steelers' six Super Bowl victories with the big game looming this weekend.

    Do our guys give the edge to the Steel Curtain teams of the 1970s, led by names like "Mean" Joe Green, Terry Bradshaw, John Stallworth, Lynn Swann, Franco Harris, Mel Blount, Jack Lambert and Jack Ham? Or do they prefer the 2000s teams led by Ben Roethlisberger, Jerome Bettis, Hines Ward, Troy Polamalu and James Harrison?

    Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes this years matchup between Drake Maye and the Patriots and Sam Darnold and the Seahawks, two teams the Steelers faced in 2025.

  • Paul Zeise Live: Where does Steelers' Mike McCarthy rank among NFL coaches hired this cycle?
    Feb 2 2026

    Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise ponders how new Steelers coach Mike McCarthy stacks up against the nine other coaches hired in this cycle.

    Is he the best of the big names changing teams? A group that includes the Giants' John Harbaugh, the Falcons' Kevin Stefanski and the Titans' Robert Saleh? Do first-time coaches like Ravens' Jesse Minter, the Raiders' Klint Kubiak, the Bills' Joe Brady and the Cardinals' Mike LaFleur offer more sizzle? And was McCarthy the best fit of anyone actually hired this cycle, now that reported candidates Nate Scheelhaase and Chris Shula have been shut out of head coaching gigs? Paul tackles those questions and more as McCarthy looks to get more from a roster that includes stars like T.J. Watt, DK Metcalf, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and -- possibly -- Aaron Rodgers.

  • Steelers MOCK DRAFT: Makai Lemon, WRs looking like STRONG picks after Senior Bowl?
    Feb 2 2026

    On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo discuss Chris's first mock draft of the season following his visit to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. over the weekend.

    Should coach Mike McCarthy and GM Omar Khan get aggressive at wide receiver given the depth of this class? How could names like Makai Lemon and Malachi Fields fit in the receivers room alongside names like DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson? Is Miami's Keionte Scott a potential fit alongside Joey Porter Jr. at CB? And why does Chris like prospects including safety Bud Clark, guard Beau Stephens and quarterback Cole Payton alongside veterans like Jalen Ramsey, Mason McCormick, Mason Rudolph and Will Howard?

    Our duo tackles those questions, plus Scott Tolzien's OC candidacy. Does he have the experience necessary to thrive in the role? Especially with McCarthy likely retaining playcalling duties? Could his game plans get the most out of names like Jaylen Warren, DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson and others? Especially with the young offensive line that includes names like Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu, Broderick Jones and Mason McCormick maturing? Or are there valid reasons for concern, especially with the future at QB uncertain? Could Tolzien succeed with Aaron Rodgers, Will Howard or Mason Rudolph? And how would the former quarterback help in terms of development should the Steelers look at names like Ty Simpson, Drew Allar, Garrett Nussmeier and Kade Clubnik in the NFL draft? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

  • How has DAN MUSE transformed the Penguins? On display Saturday vs. Mike Sullivan's Rangers?
    Feb 2 2026

    Post-Gazette Penguins insider King Jemison takes a look at coach Dan Muse's impact in his first season behind the bench as the NHL's Olympic break approaches. This show is presented by FanDuel.

    How has Muse transformed this club on both ends of the ice? Was it on even fuller display Saturday against former Penguins coach Mike Sullivan's New York Rangers? How has he updated the team's offense off the rush and around the net? What about on special teams, both on the power play and the penalty kill?

    King tackles those topics, then touches on Kris Letang's injury and what it might mean for the trade deadline before finishing off with Saturday's celebration of the 2016 Stanley Cup team.

  • MLB trade rumors: Were Pirates serious about Bubb Chandler, Braxton Ashcraft talks with Mets?
    Jan 30 2026

    Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley analyze reports that the club discussed a trade with the New York Mets involving key pitching assets Braxton Ashcraft and Bubba Chander. How seriously should fans take the reported talks? Would dealing these young arms be a smart move for GM Ben Cherington, given his pitching depth surrounding names like Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller? Or would it weaken the only obvious strength of the team? And how would possible trade targets like Brett Baty and Mark Vientos look in this Pirates lineup alongside names like Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds, Ryan O'Hearn and Brandon Lowe? Could they make the Pirates a legitimate threat offensively?

    Our duo tackles those topics; the chances Eugenio Suarez could still join the team via MLB free agency; and low win total projections for manager Don Kelly's 2026 roster.
