I'd love to hear the Prof's take on this. Believe he's frequently mentioned NPR as unbiased and that's where he achieves his news source

I'm 99% sure he's a PBS guy, which is a separate organization.

Pabst

Also, if you haven't been paying attention to NPR's reaction to the story and the history of their newly-hired CEO....Hoo boy, you are missing out.

I've enjoyed every second of this NPR controversy that kicked off with the Berliner article. However....one thing he said bothered me: Back in 2011, although NPR’s audience tilted a bit to the left, it still bore a resemblance to America at large. Twenty-six percent of listeners described themselves...

Hey, I'm not the only one interested in Hunter Nourzad for the Steelers. Yay. Trying to figure out who went to Penn St pro day. No specific info i can find, but a local source said “coaches and scouts from all 32 teams were present”. Looking at options, it really feels like the steelers will want t...

Now here's the big one.....

These are all the prospects in the Top ~100 with absolutely no Pre-Draft connection to the Steelers:

I pulled these guys out of the target list for various reasons. Either it's a position they don't seem to be targeting (QB, Edge, S, TE) or there is only one minor connection to each prospect.

I've made some assumptions which I'll explain in a follow up post, but here are your Steelers top draft targets for Rounds 1-3 based on the CBS top 400 Rankings:

That's officially the end for pre draft visits.

If nothing else, we can confirm that West Virginia is in fact a local school. Someone write that down for next year.

Steelers draft visitors on the final day of top-30 visits: Travis Clayton, tackle from England who is on the International Pathway program; Hunter Nourzad, offensive lineman from Penn State; Junior Colson, LB from Michigan.

The season was a pretty big disappointment. However I would be lying if I said was surprised. Once it became evident that Sully was staying and they resigned Jarry, which I still question why, I did not have a good feeling that this season was going to turn out well. I did expect the Pens to at lea...

Puke….

Barton or Wilson?

To be noted, OT losses for Caps and Wings do the trick for Pens, too.

Yep. Pens own the regulation wins tiebreaker with both Washington and Detroit. Pens get in with any sort of tie.

Caps and Wings need to lose by any means necessary.

I was mostly AWOL over the weekend....Thankfully.

Go Pens
Go Bruins
Go Habs
Go Devils

Missed this over the weekend, but apparently Kaboly is saying that Ladd McConkey was in for a visit at some point.

Going to toss it into unconfirmed for the moment.

Pabst

Brian Batko @BrianBatko Two more OL pre-draft visitors for Steelers today: • Washington T Troy Fautanu • South Dakota State G Mason McCormick Fautanu played the left side at Washington but with a lefty QB in Michael Penix. Both he and McCormick have position flexibility, maybe even center-capability

Isles at NYR
Philly is home to NJ
Caps home to Tampa
Detroit is at Toronto

Go Rags, Go Devils, Go Bolts, Go Leafs

Eli Rogers was a huge bust because the front office mis-read his talent level. He was a first round pick who probably would have been better off performing the role that ARE did.

?

Rogers was a 5th/6th round pick

Pabst

Actually I wasn't. I was being honest. Now I'm going to put forth a scenario. Mind you, this is predicated on the new NFL (which is Offensive driven and a few steps away from Flag Football). Gotcha. Still, the idea that a blogger in Kentucky is privvy to conversations between Tomlin and Minkah is n...

Question for you.....

Why did everybody and their mother KNOW that Diontae Johnson was going to be traded?

Last year of his (expensive) contract that he wasn't performing up to. Also, attitude issues.

That wasn't what I was pushing back on - It was the comparison to Randel El and Rogers.

Pabst · Pens vs Bruins (4/13/24) Big day would be an understatement.

Big day would be an understatement.

Pabst

Post-season success also creates bias, so I am probably remembering ARE as better than he was. He was a very good player, but he was a role player on a much more talented team. Also, from what I've heard he was a good dude on/off the field. above average #2 or a flawed #1? ^ That's basically my opi...

Can we at least all agree pollution is bad for us and the natural world? Of course! I'm 100% for protecting the environment. Where I start to diverge is when many on the left vear into "protect the environment at all costs". I'm willing to accept a certain level of pollution as a means of lifting p...

Pabst

I think we can all agree that CB, WR, and O-Line are going to be picked in the first 3 rounds, just depends on the order. Bet the ranch on WR in the second! ;) If I were a betting man I'd definitely take those odds. CB or OL in Round 1. WR in the 2nd. CB/OL in Round 3. DL and LB get picked in the m...

I'm not saying Eli Rogers was better than DJ, I'm saying the difference between Eli and DJ is closer than the distance between DJ and AB. Compare DJ and Eli's best statistical seasons (2021 and 2016 respectively). Eli Rogers had better stats on a per target basis. Eli was essentially the number 2 r...

It almost deserves its own thread. I think why the Climate Change alarmism has been so effective is it's become an umbrella for every activist group under the sun, from environmentalism to racism to socialism. A unifying echo chamber, and it's a REALLY big tent. A big problem with left-wing social ...

Pabst

Quick comment for anyone reading this - I have the visit list organized by position, but I'll post a spreadsheet when visits are all said and done that organizes prospects by ranking and will include things like pro day attendance. I think we can all agree that CB, WR, and O-Line are going to be pic...

I found this… Metropolitan area” is defined as contiguous suburbs. There isn’t a 25-mile, 50-mile, or any other type of mileage radius rule. The league office uses the 2011 Rand-McNally Road Atlas to determine the metropolitan area of a city. I’m assuming Morgantown is close enough to Pittsburgh fo...

Anyone remember the story from last year where Mike Tomlin apparently told Minkah that he thought Christian Gonzalez lacked a 'competative edge' and cited an unnamed source? Turns out the story was written by a UPS driver in Kentucky. Wow just Wow. Is that why we passed on Gonzalez and went with Jo...

Good on the ? for local on the WVU kids. Still not sure how those lines are drawn. Either of them actually WPA kids? I would say no. Frazier is from Fairmont WV and Bishop is from Kentucky. Fittipaldo has an article out today saying they count as local. I genuinely don't know how the NFL draws the ...
