The Great 8 Opening Drive

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Starkey Six Pack: Bailey Falter shoved once again and pitched into the 8th inning. Is David Bednar back? He's locked down two saves in a row on back-to-back days. Andrew McCutchen homered once again. The Steelers will not pick up Justin Fields' 5th-year option. The Steelers should sign him to a mini extension. Will the Steelers pick up Najee's 5th-year option? Jeremy Fowler reported the Steelers are a team to watch if Denver ends up trading Courtland Sutton. Paul doesn't think Reggie Bush should be getting his Heisman Trophy back because the rules were the rules at the time. Starkey thinks he should and other ramifications like the Fab 5 should be rectified.

The Steelers selected the greatest draft ever, would you make this trade?

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Pirates reporter John Perrotto of Pittsburgh Baseball Now joined the show. The only comparable start to the season John has seen for Jared Jones is Jose DeLeon in the 80s. The Bucs have a pretty good rotation right now and Bailey Falter has been a part of it. John thinks Henry Davis needs to go back to the minors to take pressure off himself and wouldn't mean the end of his career where he can't be a good player. Steelers insider Mark Kaboly joined the show. Mark thinks the Steelers will select a tackle in the first round. It looks more and more likely Nate Herbig is a significant option at center. He thinks the Steelers will indeed pick up Najee Harris' 5th-year option.
