Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern.
Does Aaron Rodgers really make any sense for the Steelers as an NFL free agency or trade target if Russell Wilson struggles at QB in the playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens this weekend? As several prominent national pundits have suggested? If not, should Justin Fields or someone else be the answer for 2025? How much blame does Wilson deserve for the passing game's recent struggles? Or does George Pickens injury, then lack of productivity deserve more heat? And could coach Mike Tomlin find himself on the trade market if his team can't win this week?
Paul tackles those topics, offers some thoughts on the Penguins at the midway point of their season and ponders Penn State's fate vs. Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinals at the Orange Bowl.
