Penn State offensive lineman Vega Ioane is visiting the Steelers, per Brooke […]
Aaron Rodgers has still yet to make it known whether or not he will return for a second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and a 22nd season overall. The Steelers have remained confident that this situation won’t drag on all offseason as it did in 2025 when Rodgers didn’t join the team until mandatory mini-camp […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates have played through 16 games so far this season and are sitting at a 10-6 record. There have been several things that have stood out from this team so far in 2026, both good and bad. The Battling Buccos are Back! One of the best things about this Pirates team in 2026 […]
It’s hard to believe, but we have arrived at game No. 82 for the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins, though it seems like just yesterday they were at Madison Square Garden opening the season against the New York Rangers. Not many fans thought there was going to be more than the standard 82 games for the Penguins […]
Olaivavega Ioane. Omar Cooper Jr. Jordyn Tyson. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren. You probably know all the names that the Steelers are commonly mocked to draft in the first round of 2026. Whether it’s a name commonly wishcasted to Pittsburgh such as Ioane, or a name the team has shown pre-draft interest in such as McNeil-Warren, there’s plenty […]
Against a very depleted Hurricanes team, the Flyers pulled off a dramatic, comeback 3-2 victory in the shootout to clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 2019-2020. For the first time since the 2017-2018 playoffs, we’ll have a Battle of Pennsylvania against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The basics First period: 8:41 – Bradly Nadeau (Nikolaj Ehlers, Sean Walker), 15:30 – Ehlers (Logan Stankoven, Jackson Blake) (PPG) Second period: 7:57 – Matvei Mi...
Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn “Mr. Goodell, you’re saying we can’t trade back? Whh—what? Why is that, Sir? It’s definitely not too late. Sir? What do you mean? You wouldn’t let us trade up either when we wanted… Okay. I protest. I…this is an official protest to tha…to that…ruling. Yes, yes. No, I don’t see. Yes, […]
It’s Mock Draft Monday on Behind the Steel Curtain — and my last chance at writing an installment (you can view my March 16 attempt here). While there are still quite a few unknowns regarding the Steelers’ draft plans even with less than two weeks remaining until the big event, we do know a lot […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates used a unique strategy with their young starting pitchers in 2025. The team called up top pitching prospects Braxton Ashcraft and Bubba Chandler to make highly anticipated debuts — Chandler more than any rookie in the organization last season — but out of the bullpen. To get acclimated to MLB hitters, Chandler […]
Joey and Ryan are back with another episode of Trust the Board!
The NFL Draft will begin next Thursday night on the North Shore of Pittsburgh, and the Steelers hold 12 picks in this year’s annual selection meeting. With a number that large, it’s almost a guarantee that they will be making at least one trade – whether it be moving up, trading back, and/or sending a […]
The Steelers hosted three pre-draft visitors at the team’s South Side facility today, Steelers Now’s Alan Saunders reported: wide receiver Germie Bernard, quarterback Taylen Green, and offensive lineman Spencer Fano. Bernard and Green were previously reported; you can read BTSC’s scouting report on Green here. Fano, however, is a new name to add to the […]
Penguins assistant general manager Jason Spezza will take part in the World Championships for Team Canada. Spezza joins recently fired Toronto GM Brad Treliving with input from Pens’ GM Kyle Dubas for the event. Dubas has long been a Hockey Canada favorite, also taking part in the management group for the silver medaling winning Olympic […]
The pair of weekend games for the Penguins against the Washington Capitals were about as low stakes as it gets in the NHL regular season from Pittsburgh’s perspective. The Pens had already locked up the second seed in the Metropolitan Division, regardless of results the rest of the way. As a result of that knowledge, […]
The 2026 MLB season has had a very weird start. Many good teams — including the Cubs — are off to mediocre starts. In fact, other than the 11-4 Dodgers, the other 29 teams all have records between 10-6 and 6-10 entering Monday’s action: 10-6: Braves, Padres9-6: Pirates9-7: Guardians, Twins, Reds, Diamondbacks8-7: Orioles, Yankees, Rays, […]
Go back to the start of September when the Pittsburgh Penguins were just entering training camp, and imagine somebody telling you this week the Penguins would be playing their third consecutive meaningless game, preparing to sit everybody important for Game 82 so they can be ready for the playoffs. Then imagine the Penguins would be […]
A few days ago, we had Saturday circled as the ‘make or break’ day as far as finding out who the Penguins would likely be playing in the first round of the playoffs. Philadelphia was one point up on the NY Islanders and Saturday would see the Flyers play the Winnipeg Jets and NYI take […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins iced most of their regulars but generated little offense, falling 3-0 to the Washington Capitals on Sunday. Washington pulled away late with two third-period goals (including an empty-netter), in a game that may have marked one of Alex Ovechkin’s final appearances in Washington, […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates made some big moves in the offseason and one of them was signing veteran Marcell Ozuna to a one-year 12 million contract. The $deal seemed like a really good idea when it happened because of how much Pittsburgh needed a guy with power but the righty has struggled so far this season. […]
The Flyers will enter the game Monday night at home against Carolina with a chance to do something they haven’t done the previous five seasons: make the playoffs. A win of any kind will put Philadelphia safely into the third seed in the Metropolitan Division. And thus getting them ready for the Battle of Pennsylvania against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the opening round. It’s almost miraculous they find themselves here. But here they are. At home Monday night against Carolina with a chance...
Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field was better than Saturday in every single way. First, the weather was more than 30 degrees warmer — 80 at game time, a nice day to have in mid-April. And the Cubs came from behind with good relief work and some excellent baserunning, tying the game in the eighth. Then […]
Pregame The late-season roster shuffle continues. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, Erik Karlsson, Bryan Rust and Parker Wotherspoon all dress for this game after sitting out yesterday. Noel Acciari, Anthony Mantha, Ryan Shea and Connor Clifton all rotate out with official ‘undisclosed day-to-day injuries’. The home Capitals celebrate their final home game of the […]
We’re just a few short weeks away from the NFL Draft, and top analysts across the league are rolling out final mocks. According to a recent mock draft from Nate Tice and Charles McDonald of Yahoo Sports, the Steelers sit at pick No. 21 and land one of the most talented receivers in the class […]
