Episode Details

The Steelers and Joey Porter Jr. have completely butchered the contract situation and we are now at a boiling point as Porter will sit out again tomorrow night. Chris said this has become the biggest distraction the Steelers have dealt with since Le’Veon Bell in 2018. There are a few differences, but certainly similarities. Who do fans blame more for all of this? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff confirmed to us that Joey Porter Jr. was as healthy as he’s been all season, according to the Steelers practice reports, up until we got the news today that he would be out tomorrow night. Jeff talked about Porter accruing a season and how he’s only a few games away from that, despite not playing a down. Jeff told us Omar Khan is public enemy #1 in the locker room because many players feel as if Porter is being ‘hosed’ by the organization. Jeff expects to see something happen this weekend with Porter, but then again, who knows? Jeff thinks a 2nd round pick is in play along with a Day 3 selection if a team makes the deal for Porter. Jeff hasn’t heard a single bad thing about Sergei Murashov, who many Penguins fans have high hopes for heading into the season. Jeff won’t predict a slide for Sidney Crosby because he’s simply still too good. Will the Penguins be a playoff team again?
