WEDNESDAY's W/ WHALEY - We address that Doug is in the midst of a Steelers interview process, so we respectfully won't ask him about it. Doug begins by arguing with Mack on whether or not the "no-hitter" the other day was actually a "no-hitter." He says you can't compare athletes in different eras. He says it's hard to compare AB to the Stallworth and Swann's of the world. Doug Whaley says Jack Ham would be a backup special teams player today. "He couldn't play in this era. He just couldn't." Crowley thinks if an Uber driver takes a wrong turn that he's going to get kidnapped. Doug Whaley thinks he's going to get ripped off. Doug talked about how he travels on the road. He tells folks that you can get to your flight in PGH Airport if you get there a half hour early. Doug says sometimes he talks to the Uber driver and sometimes he doesn't. It's a feel thing.  Doug was asked about locker cleanout day from a GM's perspective. He said that you have a general idea before cleanout day on whether a player will be back or not. He says the Pens new ownership throws a new curveball on things. How does Doug handle "bombshell" stories? He says he leans on the PR folks to craft the message the right way. You have to make sure there are no leaks from inside the building. Doug says Major Harris would be a different player today in the modern game. He says the game is tailored to that kind of QB. He says the RPO game is just the wishbone but dressed up in a different way. He says you don't have time to let players mature anymore, therefore the RPO game has picked up big time in the league. Coaches aren't around long enough because the pressure in the game is so great.
