Alex, Chris, and Josh are joined by Caleb Eckel to discuss all things Pittsburgh sports. Caleb reminisces about his earliest memories of being a young fan of the Penguins and Steelers (10:13), and his total disdain for the Pirates and their ownership (13:46). Caleb speaks to the blue-collared and tough culture of the City of Pittsburgh (15:56), and outlines the expectations the fanbase has for their athletes. Caleb then explains the complicated relationship some Steelers fans have with Head Coach Mike Tomlin despite his steady leadership and winning ways (20:09), and spells out why he believes in Kenny Pickett (25:50). Alex asks Caleb about when Matt Murray took the place in the Pens' net of fan favourite Marc-Andre Fleury in 2016-17 (28:31), and then makes the case for Sidney Crosby's greatness being comparable to Mario Lemieux's greatness, while Josh is repulsed by the argument (36:20). As always, the show ends with shout-outs to all the TSPeeps who played an all-time Start-Bench-Cut on social media that focused on the best young NFL quarterbacks (45:00).
