Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern.
What should we make of Russell Wilson's comments at the Pro Bowl over the weekend, in which he expressed a preference to remain with the Steelers in NFL free agency instead of possibly reuniting with former Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll via the Las Vegas Raiders? Does it matter what Wilson wants if general manager Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith prefer Justin Fields? And what impact could Myles Garrett's trade request have on the AFC North rival Cleveland Browns?
Paul tackles those topics, plus Pitt basketball's costly loss to Wake Forest over the weekend; Penn State football's introduction of Jim Knowles as defensive coordinator; and the Penguins trade that sent Marcus Pettersson and Drew O'Connor to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for two NHL players, a prospect and a first-round NHL draft pick.
