@spotrac Does debut mean he has to play before signing g the extension or just put on the 25 man roster?

The #Pirates and SS Konnor Griffin have been negotiating a long-term extension for a few weeks now, but purchasing his contract first makes good business sense. By allowing Griffin to debut before his extension, he remains eligible for PPI, which would reward Pittsburgh with a draft pick if Griffin accrues a full year of service, and factors into a major award this season.

@HoboThatsFrugal @MichaelBeck56 Mel Kiper Jr Ryan Clark and apparently others

@ChrisRock74 @MichaelBeck56 Huh lmfao?

This feels like no WR2 and Ty Simpson in the first round

@MichaelBeck56 But how many in the NFL thought Shedeur Sanders was a 1st round pick?

@ChrisRock74 Then hell yeah (Let’s not forget many thought Aaron Rodgers was going to be the first overall pick…)

@ZmanMagnolia @Dejan_Kovacevic 100% yes.

@Dejan_Kovacevic Do they hire McCarthy if he isn’t from Pittsburgh? That question needs addressed.

@BillPlaschke You definitely sound like a salty ESPN reporter right now

@RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 @Gretegiii @JMUFootball @GreenWaveFB Tulane is surely showing that they earned it today....

If you think Group of 5 teams don’t belong in the College Football Playoff, you don’t actually love college football. Group of 5 teams belong in the CFP if they earn it. JMU and Tulane earned their way in. Anyone trying to gate keep the CFP and keep Group of 5 teams out is carrying water for the wrong people. Football fans love underdogs. Sports fans love Cinderellas. If they get crushed in the game, that’s okay. We’ve seen perennial powerhouses get crushed in the College Football playoffs and those same voices didn’t say those teams didn’t belong in consideration for the CFP ever again. -Alabama lost 44-16 to Clemson in 2019 -Oklahoma lost 63-28 to LSU in 2019 -Ohio State lost 31-0 to Clemson in 2016 -Ohio State lost 52-24 to Alabama in 2021 All are in the CFP this year because they earned it. We’ve seen Cinderellas beat the big dawgs throughout College Football and College Sports history. So whether JMU and Tulane get blown out, hold their own, or win their games in the CFP, the result shouldn’t be used against all group of 5 teams to keep them out of the CFP. An undefeated or 1 loss Group of 5 conference champion earns their way into the CFP. The size of your brand shouldn’t determine your spot in the CFP. Winning games matters. If you’re gonna carry water for anyone, carry it for the PEOPLE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. They don’t all live in 2 conferences.

@Steelersdepot I just feel like if the Steelers were on defense amd Tomlin challenged it, there would not be enough evidence to overturn it

Man, CA3 needs to catch this. overturned adfter challenge by Ravens #Steelers

@ISkyy_Devv @BC_Buckets18 @AdamSchefter It was after the kickoff before the first snap.

@ChrisRock74 @BC_Buckets18 @AdamSchefter before the first snap? that was after the first snap bro

NFL suspended Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase for spitting at Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey. Chase denied spitting at Ramsey, but the league determined the video evidence was sufficient to warrant a suspension.

@BC_Buckets18 @AdamSchefter Yes he did, he got ejected before the first snap amd lost that game check

@AdamSchefter Jalen Carter didn’t receive a suspension for spitting on Dak

@ThePoniExpress How is that surprising? Get him his start at home so the crowd comes in to fill Nutting's pocket.

Surprising rumor: Bubba Chandler could potentially make his Pirates debut at PNC Park this weekend. Despite some recent struggles at Triple-A. He’s being considered to fill a TBD. And get his feet wet in the big leagues. Sooner rather than later. Stay tuned.

@MarkMaddenX And with the great owner and GM in place, their dynasty is just getting started.

With Chandler in Pittsburgh, they’ll make the playoffs for sure.

“Bulk relief”? Weird.

@MarkKaboly @MarkMaddenX Why didn't Cam and his agent negotiate a big bonus for making all pro?

@MarkMaddenX It's all relative.

Not many Pittsburghers have already made $131.5m. Or already been paid $13.45m for work not yet done.

@2darkpark @theFortMcKenry That was David Bednar

@theFortMcKenry Gonna miss you, Michael! ❤️❤️

@fxingalx I had no idea until I saw a Facebook post about it

Do you guys even know that the Grand Canyon is on fire. Biggest fire in the country rn been burning for days and nobody give af

@KodyDuncanPGH @JonHeyman With Cherington at the helm, Paul Skenes might not even yield that much.

@JonHeyman Cashman is out of his mind if he thinks Spencer Jones is worth Paul Skenes

Teams with good/great pieces consistently ask the Yankees about top OF prospect Spencer Jones . The Yankees are consistent on this too: They will only trade Jones (and others in package) for Paul Skenes, who’s not available and not going anywhere.

@Jaredmetal666 @ASaunders_PGH WhileI do understand your point to an extent, don't the taxpayers vote on that(and if not, they should). The one point I disagree with you on is that your house won't help boost the economy of a city nearly as much as a stadium or any place of business will.

@ASaunders_PGH Question? Why don't Billionaires finance their own stadiums? It's called a LOAN. When I purchase a house, I applied for a loan!? Sponsors pay them and the NFL big $$$ to advertise and name these stadiums!!!! Stop holding cities hostage. It's your shit, pay for it.

If the #Steelers want a new stadium when their lease expires in 2030, Gov. Shapiro says state funding is off the table. Art Rooney II has said they expect to extend their lease, at any rate. The #Eagles seem less sure about their plan. steelersnow.com/gov-shapiro-no…

@Deezmfnnutz @MarkMaddenX And that's my point.... player development had been bad under Cherington, yet why is he keeping his job? How long should a GM get to prove themselves?

@ChrisRock74 @MarkMaddenX Yes, Nutting is the worst but the player developmental system is equally as bad. It's a shit show from top to bottom

It’s never anybody’s fault with the Pirates. But wow, they ***king stink.
