Episode Details

Is it villainous to avoid Pittsburgh for over a decade? To get rich off our sports teams but never try to win? If a celebrity claims us, but spreads misinformation and doesn’t apologize, can that be forgiven? Host Megan Harris is back with historian and writer Virginia Montanez plus special guest Jeremy Boren — Megan’s husband and former political reporter — to talk about the most villainous arcs in Pittsburgh sports, from fan anti-favorite Bob Nutting to our most recent controversial quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
