A ranking of our 25 favorite Pittsburgh-related March Madness characters. Robert Morris PxP voice Chris Shovlin joined the show. Chris has called more games than anyone in Bobby Mo history. Chris said he packed enough clothes to stay until Sunday. Chris has already tried to foresee a Robert Morris win over Alabama. Chris said he just saw practice and it’s the best Robert Morris practice he has seen in quite some time. Chris thinks this very well may be the best Bobby Mo team of all-time, dating back to the time he started there in the late 1980’s. Chris can’t say enough about Andy Toole, who he described as a basketball genius. The guys made sure to note that Poni left a game at halftime this season and since then the Colonials have turned the season around. Chris doesn’t have a call planned out because he said he wants the call to come to him naturally. Chris brought up the tough loss to Villanova in 2010. Chris did not give a score prediction, but is praying for a Robert Morris victory. PG columnist Jason

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. How is Jason’s bracket looking? He filled out 3 brackets, which could be a party foul. Jason is out on Aaron Rodgers for the likely price tag. Jason is fine with Mason Rudolph being the team’s starter with a Joe Flacco in the mix as well. Jason said he would have a hard time passing up Shedeur Sanders if he is available at 21st overall. Jason and Poni went back and forth on a steak dinner. Jason has the Pirates at 84 wins this season, which starts officially in one week.

Aaron Rodgers is down to two teams at the moment. But could there be more? And what are the chances he retires? How long should the Steelers wait this out? The guys think this is an embarrassing look for the Steelers. There is also a question of how much Rodgers still loves the game. If Rodgers does sign here, will the Steelers have any restrictions on? Then there’s this thought – what if Rodgers just waits this out as long as possible until a contender loses its QB? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Who does Jeff have in his Final Four as the tournament starts tomorrow? A report from a few minutes ago that the Giants are getting ‘impatient’ on Aaron Rodgers.

Jeff thinks Kenneth Grant can be their next Casey Hampton, who could be available at 21st overall. Jeff asked the guys about Doug Whaley saying the Steelers are ‘nailing it’ in free agency.

Milroe ran an unofficial 4.3 40-yard dash today. If the Steelers take Milroe in the 3rd round, is it a wasted pick? Is it more likely that the Steelers take a chance on Jaxson Dart in the 1st round or Milroe in the 3rd? ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi said the Vikings are in on JJ McCarthy and that’s why Daniel Jones also decided to go elsewhere. The team in Minnesota is ready to win, which is why Aaron Rodgers was so attracted to it.

LeSean McCoy is calling out the Steelers as an incompetent franchise. The Pitt legend said he’s disappointed in the Steelers. The guys think the Steelers are competent, but they are mediocre. They have fallen into a purgatory of thinking they are better than they are. They aren’t in the category of the Browns or the Jets. The Steelers are ‘decent’ and nothing more. NCAA Tournament over/under game. (GIVEAWAY) / We also talked about the Jared Jones injury and what it could mean for the Pirates season. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike reacted to the Aaron Rodgers development that the Vikings turned him down and are committed to JJ McCarthy. Mike doesn’t think this will change anything and he doesn’t think it completely closes the door on the Vikings. Mike backed what Cam Heyward said yesterday and he would like to see the Steelers hang up the phone at some point. Mike thinks Joe Flacco and Jameis Winston should still be considered as backup plans if Rodgers falls through. Mike still bel
