We begin this week show by moving on quickly from the Steelers week 4 loss to the Colts to focus on our YinzCenter fantasy hockey league for listeners to compete with us. We draft with our "Original Six" while we break down what to expect in the upcoming NHL season.
Episode #66 is here, your Steelers are 3-0, we have your week 3 recap of the NFL, your week 4 preview and maybe Nevin is building a case for being YinzCenter's NFL Expert. The Penguins are officially back on the ice at PPG Paints Arena and Sully's lineup is starting to materialize. We have answers for the tough question: Is this a playoff team right now? Nutting is a cheapskate.
Your Pittsburgh Steelers are in 1st place in the AFC North at 2-0, the Penguins have a preseason game in less than two days, Sidney Crosby has a contract extension signed, and the Pirates are officially eliminated from postseason contention. We are officially fully back into Pittsburgh's favorite time of year! We recap a barn burner of a week 2 win over the Denver Broncos, we take a look at what's on tap as the Steelers go up against the not San Diego Chargers and the rest of the NFL, and we give you an idea of which 20 or so of the 69 players at Penguins training camp you can expect to see on the opening night roster.
A YinzCenter episode where we are fully back in the swing of football season, feels great to finally recap some football, especially when the Steelers are alone in first in the AFC North! It seemed like the "quarterback controversy" was nonexistent at one point, but is it real now? Can a Justin Fields led offense score a touchdown in week two in Denver? We also have a big local college football game as West Virginia comes to Pittsburgh this weekend to revive the Backyard Brawl for the 107th time, do we think this rivalry should be one that sticks around for good? The Pirates have pulled off four wins in a row, is there any hope? Also, some Pittsburgh Penguins players are making their way back to the team's practice facility, so if you aren't subscribed to YinzCenter yet, now is the time as hockey season is just around the corner!
On August 29, 2024, Columbus Blue Jackets forward/NHL Star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were tragically killed by an intoxicated driver. Nevin shares his tale about his personal encounter with Johnny, the boys discuss growing up with hockey, and we deliver a PSA to Penguin fans looking for a scapegoat (do not complain about Hayes). We wish the best for the Gaudreau family, Flames and Jackets fans, and anyone who has been afflicted by this life being cut short.
It's just about that time for the 2024 NFL season to kick off, the fantasy football drafts have all settled and the YinzCenter boys lay out their prediction hands just before the season gets kicked off to get YOU ready for the end of the year. We laid out last year's Steeler trap games for you (Texans and Jets) and we give you the ones to keep an eye on for this season We break down the Steelers ceiling and floor for the 2024 season and give yinz one potential surprise team from each the AFC and NFC team, and which teams could prove to be "spunky" and fun to watch this year no matter the record

Description
10 straight losses to teams ahead of you in a playoff race will pretty much bury any competing team and that's where the Pittsburgh Pirates find themselves at the halfway point of August, tumbling down to last place in the NL Central, so begins the traditional Yinzer focus shift from baseball to football. Is it any rosier on the gridiron with the Steelers? Looks rough for now, but is there hope? The YinzCenter boys lay out their preparations to have a successful fantasy football season and the Penguins make a couple of trades, our instant analysis on those Dubas deals, this week on YInzCenter.
After a lovely dinner with their grandmother, the YinzCenter boys are back as the playoff race we least expected to see in Pittsburgh might very well already be over as the Pirates dropped a crucial series against the Diamondbacks and continue to not look like the inferior team against the San Diego Padres. Steeler football is right around the corner and Cody has EXCLUSIVE INSIDER INFORMATION FROM STEELERS TRAINING CAMP (No Brandon Aiyuk is not going to be a Steeler) and we celebrate Sidney Crosby's birthday before we realize there still has been no extension signed by Sid. Is it now panic time? Subscribe and find out on YinzCenter!
