The Brewers were rained out last night! I hope you’ll forgive that instead of rewriting an entire new game discussion, I’m just going to (mostly) copy and paste what I wrote before yesterday’s game, because both teams are using the same lineups they announced last night. However, there are two new pieces of information today. […]
On a recent Terrible Podcast, Dave Bryan and Alex Kozora were discussing DT Cam Heyward. One topic I found intriguing was Heyward’s sack numbers. Dave asked if eight would be achievable this season, and Alex questioning if that had ever been done at Heyward’s age (37) and position. This inspired me to find the answer […]
In today’s NHL rumour rundown, we start with the Washington Capitals and Alexander Ovechkin, whose decision regarding his retirement was nearly impacted by some trade deadline moves. Next, we look…
Last year was an excellent chance for Roman Wilson to break onto the scene. After injuries robbed him of a chance to make an impact in his rookie season, he went into 2025 battling Calvin Austin III for the WR2 role, with the Steelers begging one of them to step up and help DK Metcalf. […]
Presumably, Max Iheanachor and Antwaan Randle El have never met. One is a large, athletic offensive lineman. The other is a college quarterback who became a gadget receiver. Yet, a connection binds the two. If things were slightly different, the Steelers wouldn’t have drafted either player. Pittsburgh’s intended choices were taken right under their nose, […]
The Pirates have designated right-hander Cam Sanders for assignment, and moved shortstop Konnor Griffin from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL. The two moves clear roster spots for Jacob Gonzalez and Brandon Eisert, who were acquired yesterday from the White Sox. After making his MLB debut by posting an 8.10 ERA over 6 […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers defense is loaded with cornerstones. From T.J. Watt to Alex Highsmith, Patrick Queen, Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and others, there’s enough talent on the defense that the Steelers should have one of the better units in the league. The defense was paid top money but didn’t play like it last season. […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins do not need to force Rutger McGroarty onto the NHL roster just because of his prospect status. That would be a mistake, especially for a team that…
The 2026 MLB Draft is this weekend, Saturday, July 11, at the Philadelphia Convention Center. The opning day of the draft will include the first four rounds and will start at 1:30pm EST, with TV coverage starting at 1:00pm. This year, rounds 5-20 will take place on Sunday, July 12. The Pittsburgh Pirates have the […]
In just under three weeks, the Pittsburgh Steelers will roll into Latrobe and head to Saint Vincent College for another edition of training camp at Chuck Noll Field. Things will look much different this time around as Mike McCarthy enters his first training camp as head coach of the Black and Gold. Meanwhile, a number […]
The subject was broached here earlier in the week, but let’s take another look at the 32 Thoughts lingering question of the offseason for the Penguins. Via Sportsnet: Pittsburgh Penguins: Can they add a centre before next season? GM Kyle Dubas has had a tricky job to balance between an aging core that wants to […]
If the Steelers are to make a run with Aaron Rodgers this season, Hines Ward believes Rodgers won’t be able to do it alone. Having won two championships with Pittsburgh himself, Ward knows something about what it takes to get it done. Of course, Rodgers once claimed a Super Bowl out from underneath the Steelers […]
There are a couple of things that stand out through the early stages of Mike McCarthy’s tenure. One major theme is positional versatility, something the Steelers have clearly desired on both sides of the ball as they’ve made their roster moves this offseason. Across the entire roster, there isn’t a player who represents versatility more […]
Each summer here at Steelers Depot, I like to take a shot at ranking each position group across the board in the AFC North. It results in my Ranking The Rooms series, ranking the 12 position groups from best to worst in the division. Then at the end of the series, I compile the rankings […]
In the blink of an eye, we’ve gone from the NFL Draft, OTAs and minicamp to the brink of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. An exciting year lies ahead for the Black and Gold after a busy offseason of change with a new head coach, a nearly entirely new coaching […]
The Steelers have thrown a bunch of money at their edge rushers, but that doesn’t mean they don’t raise questions. With T.J. Watt past his prime, how valuable is what he has left? Nick Herbig is now signed, but how high is his ceiling? And perhaps most importantly, how best do they integrate everybody into […]
This is a good one from the NHL social media team, asking players who they would want on their beer league teams. Who would be the best from the Penguins? Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, duh, they stand apart as an opportunity you’d never forget to get to share the ice with some of the […]
Jalen Ramsey could play outside cornerback, slot cornerback, or safety, but he figures to play primarily in the slot. The Steelers have two starting-caliber cornerbacks and two starting-caliber safeties. In base defense, one of those starting-caliber players will sit on the sidelines in favor of Ramsey. But when they have their primary defensive package on […]
The White Sox are sending infielder Jacob Gonzalez and reliever Brandon Eisert to the Pirates for lefty Jaden Woods and the No. 34 pick in the draft, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. Pittsburgh will part with a minor league arm and its Competitive Balance Round pick to land big-league reinforcements. Both teams have announced the […]
Please bow your heads for a moment of silence to commemorate the 14-minute period where the White Sox officially had more bats than spots. After Jacob Gonzalez was optioned to Charlotte to clear a spot on the 26-man roster for Munetaka Murakami’s return, the White Sox traded him to Pittsburgh along with Brandon Eisert for…
The post White Sox trade Jacob Gonzalez to Pittsburgh to boost draft ammo, but at risk to their depth appeared first on Sox Machine .

A Steelers reporter proposes a trade sending Alex Highsmith to the 49ers. Could San Francisco land another pass rusher to complement Nick Bosa?
James Harrison remains as convinced as ever that the New England Patriots cheated their way to the 2004 Super Bowl. Relitigating the Pittsburgh Steelers’ AFC Championship Game loss, Harrison says the Patriots countered too often for it to be anything other than something suspect. “When I say they caught us, they only missed one blitz,” […]

Has anybody picked up any new hobbies recently they’d like to share and discuss? 3. Every summer, the NFL puts out those player-voted Top 100 lists and gets fans raving about the results. […]
