First Call: Steelers show interest in high-speed WR; goalie goal, goalie fight; Marc-Andre Fleury bet

A few Steelers post on social media about free agency. The franchise appears to have an interest in a blazer at wide receiver in the upcoming draft. A goalie fight, a goalie goal and a Golden Knights goalie bet. All that in Monday’s “First Call.” Banner’s self-ban Steelers free agent...
Madden Monday: Why Steelers have to draft RB Najee Harris if he is available when they pick

Whether we’re talking about the Steelers — or any NFL team — debates about the importance of running backs are a trigger point for me. I think people conflate analysis of how you get a good one with the importance of having a good one at all. Sure, high-priced, high-pedigree...
Tim Benz: What does all the Ben Roethlisberger talk mean for Mason Rudolph?

We’re talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers. We’re talking about future Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. We’re talking about a $41 million cap hit.

Empty Thoughts: Islanders 2, Penguins 0Video

Observations from the Penguins’ 2-0 loss to the Islanders: Frankly, no one wants to talk about this game, at least from a Penguins’ perspective. Coach Mike Sullivan sure didn’t want to chat about it during his postgame press conference. It was a lousy way for the Penguins to potentially close...

That meant Sunday’s game against the Islanders was the Pittsburgh...
New-look Pitt battles N.C. State to end, still loses

Jeff Capel paused briefly and looked to the ceiling to consider the question. He wanted to make his answer clear, with no room for misinterpretation. “What seemed different about your team, compared to what you had seen from them and what it had been over the past several weeks?” The...
Gregory Polanco homers, drops fly ball as Pirates win Grapefruit League opener

It was an eight-inning game that had the first half-inning called after only two outs were recorded. And, yet, the aspect of Sunday’s Grapefruit League opener for the Pittsburgh Pirates that perhaps stood out most was there were 1,750 spectators on hand to see it. It had been 353 days...
