Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Wheel of Ball. A big new deal between Pitt, Penn State and Temple... for office supplies. Does Mike Tomlin owe it to Russell Wilson to make him the starter when Wilson is healthy?

Will Russell Wilson be the guy when he's good to start?

Come one, come all, to the Wheel of Ball!

Mark thinks when he's healthy, Russell Wilson will be the starting quarterback. Joe thinks the Steelers might open up the playbook for Justin Fields this week, but Mark thinks it was simplified in week 1.

Dan doesn't think the Pirates have made up their minds on changes to the construction of the coaching staff and front office. If Dan had to pick, he thinks Ben Cherington and Derek Shelton will be back

Ben Cherington said he expects Derek Shelton will be back as Pirates manager next season. Clint Hurdle believed he would return in the final week of the season and was fired days later. The next few weeks will be critical.

Pitt volleyball head coach Dan Fisher joined the show. It's cool for Dan that Pitt is No. 1 in the nation for the first time ever, but there are different aspirations in mind. More and more athletes are turning to volleyball and playing the sport.

Maybe we'll call it an in-season competition rather than a controversy. Fans weigh in on who the starting QB should be. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show. A T.J. Watt card is Starkey's Card of the Week. 

We remember those who lost their lives on 9/11. Like it or not, there is a quarterback controversy. Donny and Mullsy both believe Justin Fields is the starting quarterback going forward. That means there's controversy!

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Starkey six pack. There is a significant problem in Cleveland with Deshaun Watson. Paul Skenes was excellent for the Pirates last night with six strong innings of one-run baseball. Was the timing of Heather Lyke being fired with the Backyard Brawl and Hall of Fame weekend this week harsh?

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Derek Shelton tells us how Skenes is as a person and attitude on the mound. Consistency is the key for Jack Suwinski that the Pirates need him to get back to. More on Skenes, Jones, and Pirates bats. Which is the better rivalry? Pitt-Penn State or Pitt-WVU?

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: The Mike Tomlin Press Conference. The Steelers are preparing for Justin Fields to start. If Russell Wilson is healthy, will he start? Injury report. Is Justin Fields the guy moving forward? Joe thinks he is if Fields plays well in Denver. Wilson is still not healthy. This is now an actual quarterback competition.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: This is a live job interview for Justin Fields in Denver. Fans weigh in on how important the game is and if this is actually a real competition. Do you think Fields is the guy or Wilson will easily be given the job back when he returns?

Tweeter Rob makes Joe furious to end the show suggesting everything is fine and Russell Wilson will be the starter when healthy, no questions asked.

This is a live job interview for Justin Fields in Denver. Fans weigh in on how important the game is and if this is actually a real competition.

Is Justin Fields the guy moving forward?

What rivalry do you value and enjoy more??
