Welcome my friends and let’s have a great stat
Oops I mean let’s have a good chat!!!

Who would have thought 10 years ago that was the last time Ben and Rodgers would ever be in a Superbowl again!
Zeise
12:04
That is a great point. If you could have found a bookie to give you odds that neither would ever return to a Super Bowl you would be rich. It just goes to show that it is really difficult to get there. Both have had a few teams that were probably good enough and just couldn’t get over the top
Dirk

Obviously, the Pirates will be in the market for an inexpensive free agent or two.  Do you think it is worthwhile pursuing Lonnie Chisenhall?
Zeise
12:06
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Now that’s funny. Lonnie Chisenhall was like a unicorn, we were pretty much resigned to believing he actually exists

How long can the Washington Football team go before picking a new name? The longer it goes, the more it looks like DSnyder is mocking the NFL.
Zeise
12:07
Why do they have to pick a name? It seems fine to me

I'm completely with you when you say the best thing for the Steelers would be to move on from Ben Rothlisberger now. If somehow they do, is there anyone out there they realistically could replace him with that might get them to as many wins as he might?
Zeise
12:10
i know this is going to be met with scorn but hear me out - Mason Rudolph. If the Steelers beef up their run game and run the ball more and use more play action passing - with that defense why can’t they win a bunch of games. The offense would become more efficient with running the ball and big passing plays
Les

Hello, what would be the first 3 moves you would do this offseason if you were general manager of the Steelers?
Zeise
12:11
Get a left tackle, ask Ben Roethlisberger to retire and make a decision on Dupree
The Parrot
12:12
I know the plan is for Gregory Polanco to start the season in right field and hope he shows enough life that they can trade him for someone and that makes sense given how bad they're likely to be. But if he's as bad as he was last year and they can't unload him, do they leave him there all season blocking the next guy or do they eventually give up and take the lumps?
Zeise
12:15
They are paying him $11 million. He isn’t sitting no matter how bad he is. And any general manager that takes that contract off the Pirates hands better have his own contract secure because Polanco is the kind of player that gets GMs fired
Carl in Carrick
12:15
Have you heard if there is much interest from other teams in Feiler?  If he stays with the Steelers, I hope he can return to right tackle.  Thanks Paul.
Zeise
12:17
I think the plan is to bring him back as a valuable depth player that can play multiple positions. They have two right tackles already
12:18
fire away more questions
Amanda
12:18
You and Walls are terrible. If I was producing your show I'd get rid of all the dumb beer taps and cancel both of you. My husband could do a better job than you two bums.
Zeise
12:19
It is Walsh. Rich Walsh. Get it right. And your husband sounded drunk last week when he called in!!!

Paul, I was addicted the sugar rush Rutherford provided as the Penguins GM. You never knew when the next "big move" was coming. Are we going to be bored to death with Hextall and Burkle?
Zeise
12:22
It will be different but not boring. The Pens always make bold moves and always have. The ownership wants to win and win with Crosby so they will make moves
TPHunter

Tell Amanda I've got a ton of Blue Moon leftover since the Super Bowl party broke up early from boredom. I guess even Mahomes can only do so much behind a bad offensive line, huh?
Zeise
12:26
Well here is the thing - Mahomes also was compromised and couldn’t move like he can. If he was healthy he would have had a chance to make things happen but he was slowed and slowed ain’t good when you are running for your life. And I’ll pass the Blue Moon to Amanda!
Donna
12:26
Hi Paul, do you think Alford will be healthy enough to possibly start in centerfield?  Thanks.
Zeise
12:27
He is healthy and ready to compete. And that position is wide open so according to Jason Mackey, if he hits he will absolutely be in that mix to start
Carl in Carrick
12:27
Sorry Paul, I meant to say I hope to see Feiler at guard instead of right tackle...my bad.  Do you think Beachum can still play if the Steelers bring him in as free agent?
Zeise
12:28
He isn’t that old but what are they bringing him in for? If he is a depth guy he would be fine. Feiler wasn’t good enough at guard to be the starter again
TPHunter
12:29
Paul, good point about Mahomes mobility, but Devin White seemed to have the entire field covered and if he didn't Lavonte David did. And what's with Jason Pierre-Paul? I thought the fountain of youth was in St. Augustine, not Tampa!
Zeise
12:29
The Bucs defensive line was incredible that night but they were playing against a JV offensive line and that helped
TPHunter
12:30
Any chance the Panthers can ring enough bells to make their way into the NCAA tournament, or is the NIT the best hope?
Zeise
12:31
It is going to be tough because the ACC isn’t strong enough to carry bubble teams across the finish line there just aren’t a lot of great wins out there for them
Darnell
12:31
Hey Paul, when you mention the Pens ownership making bold moves, does that include the trading of Letang and Malkin if they don’t play up to their expectations?
Zeise
12:32
I don’t know about that. I would definitely field offers for them. But management doesn’t seem to want to move them and that’s all that counts
TPHunter
12:33
The consensus is for the Steelers to take a RB or OL in some order of the first couple of rounds. What is the next priority after that? I really think this team needs a new Heath Miller clone.
Zeise
12:36
Absolutely tight end, offensive line and running back. Those are three immediate upgrades
TPHunter
12:36
I get the frustration Pens have for the inconsistent play of Malkin and Letang over the past few years, but some of the criticism they receive seems over the top, even for pro players. Those guys have been spectacular players for the Penguins and I hope they are recognized for that as their time in Pittsburgh comes to a close. They were/are a huge part of a golden hockey era.
Zeise
12:38
True but he hasn’t been engaged this year and as a result he hasn’t been good. He needs to play better
Chris
12:40
Is Mason Martin possibly being considered as Moran’s backup at first base?
Zeise
12:41
Not yet he is a minor leaguer. It will be a great season if he makes AAA as a regular by the end of the season. Mackey said he isn’t ready for MLB yet
Dennis
12:43
With the Penguins scoring problems, do you think Tanev would be a good fit on either of the top 2 lines?
