Welcome back to the latest episode of The Terrible Take. Think of it as a super-mini version of The Terrible Podcast. A short, 1-3 minute episode seven days a week, every weekday at 5 PM/EST, with Alex Kozora, Dave Bryan, Josh Carney, Ross McCorkle, Melanie Friedlander, and Joe Clark telling you what’s on our minds.

The Steelers reached agreements on long-term contracts with two members of their 2023 draft class, but not their most successful player. While Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington both signed four-year deals during OTAs, Joey Porter Jr. remains without an extension. Coming off his best season and not allowing a touchdown to an opposing wide receiver, […]
Wide receiver has been a problem for the Pittsburgh Steelers for last few years. While they used to be one of the best teams in the league at drafting and developing wideouts, they’ve had less success recently. They’re hoping that Germie Bernard can change that, though. They traded up in the second round this year […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense hasn’t been pretty to watch for most of this decade. Much of that can be blamed on their poor offensive coordinators. Nothing was worse than Matt Canada’s stint with the Steelers, though. He was the team’s offensive coordinator from 2021-2023, and Pittsburgh’s offense was absolutely miserable for most of that time. […]
The Baltimore Ravens are often touted as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ greatest rival. However, the Steelers have had some heated battles with their other division rivals over the years, too. That includes the Cincinnati Bengals. The matchups between those two teams were arguably at their most ruthless in the 2010s. That includes the playoff matchup between […]
Eric Ebron was around for the final two years of Ben Roethlisberger’s Hall of Fame career. He missed Roethlisberger’s prime as a gunslinging quarterback and instead played in his twilight moments, one nearing 40 who lost his patented mobility and was bouncing back from a severe elbow injury. Ebron joined Cam Heyward on Heyward’s Not […]
Ben Roethlisberger and Terry Bradshaw are the best quarterbacks in Pittsburgh Steelers history. However, they’ve had other productive players under center. One player who was electrifying, especially for his time, was Kordell Stewart. He played for the Steelers from 1995-2002, and he was a dynamic weapon. Nicknamed “Slash,” Stewart was so athletic that he played […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers certainly have the talent to field a competitive team this season. However, with nearly an entirely new coaching staff, there’s always a chance things get off to a slow start. If Pittsburgh suffers its first losing season since 2003, there could be serious ramifications next offseason. “If they have a 6-11 season, […]
Every NFL veteran eventually gets replaced, and the relationship between the established player and his would-be successor isn’t always a smooth one. But when Troy Polamalu arrived in Pittsburgh to challenge Mike Logan for playing time, the two developed a bond that extended far beyond football. In fact, Logan credits Polamalu with helping save his […]
Two Steelers greats took serious shots at Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles. Remember when Joe shared how Bowles referenced last week that Bucs players took plays off when the team had a lead? Yeah, Joe is still dry heaving. And […] The post “That’s A Coaching Thing” appeared first on JoeBucsFan.com .
Season 16, Episode 154 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the NFL announcing on Tuesday that it will not hold a supplemental draft for Brendan Sorsby this summer. We go over the letter the NFL sent to Sorsby, whether […]
With more than 30 new players on their roster this offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a good position entering training camp. The roster, top to bottom, looks pretty solid under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy. That said, there are some questions and some starting positions that seem unsettled, like right guard and right […]
Following a frenzy of NHL trade activity on Tuesday, speculation abounds over which other trade candidates could be on the move. Check out the latest on Jason Robertson, Dylan Larkin, Morgan Rielly and more.

Omar Khan has already handed out three contract extensions this offseason, but the most important of them all is still outstanding. Joey Porter Jr.’s future is bright, but that comes with a high price tag at a premium position. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac hinted at trouble in the negotiations during his weekly fan chat. “Wait […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins have not really become involved in the offseason chaos just yet, and given the trade prices we are seeing around the league it leads to some questions as to what they should be doing this week. Just a quick recap of what we have seen so far. There’s a lot happening there, […]
The Steelers have left virtually no position on their roster untouched this offseason, and the defensive tackle group is no exception. Having experienced yet another one-and-done postseason, they are trying just about anything to achieve more favorable results. With bold swings via trade, shrewd free-agent signings, and a clear draft priority, the 2026 Steelers are taking […]
Good morning everyone! Pittsburgh native Cole Young had a homecoming to remember last night, delivering the go-ahead homer in a 3-2 Mariners victory over the Pirates. Importantly, Andrés Muñoz also looked electric last night. How are you feeling about our closer after his dominant showing? In Mariners news… Around the league…
All the talent and smart coaching become meaningless if the locker room culture is weak. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ six Super Bowl-winning teams were teeming with talent but were also a close-knit group that got ahead of problems. Or, at the least, prevented them from being run up the chain to head coaches like Bill Cowher. […]
It would be a massive shock if the Toronto Maple Leafs selected anyone other than Gavin McKenna with the first overall pick on Friday. McKenna is the favourite, and Maple Leafs are already pencilling him on the top line, where he’ll likely spend his rookie year stapled to captain Auston Matthews. As the 2026 NHL…
It turns out, new Steelers HC Mike McCarthy had a thing for their defense long before he ever stepped inside Pittsburgh’s building. That information is nothing new, of course, as his Pittsburgh connections are legion. In fact, his defensive coaching staff in Green Bay had many, many ties. But former Steelers DB and DBs coach […]
Shortly after the draft, long before rookie minicamp or OTAs began, Steelers beat writer Mark Kaboly gave seventh-round DT Gabriel Rubio just a one-percent chance of making Pittsburgh’s 53-man roster. After watching him throughout the spring, his outlook on Rubio hasn’t gotten any better. “Boy, everybody likes Rubio in the comments,” Kaboly said during his […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates made waves in the offseason when they signed Ryan O’Hearn to a 2-year $29 million contract in January. That signing was the largest ever handed out to a free-agent hitter in franchise history and was the first free-agent signed to a multi year contract by the club in a decade. Despite the […]
Nearing the end of our 2026 Pittsburgh Steelers roster deconstruction. Today, we’re checking out the “near-locks.” These players seem very likely to make the roster, but not quite at the “bet your house on it” level. As always, some reminders. These odds reflect making the Week One 53-man roster, not the practice squad. It doesn’t take […]
The 2020 Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the biggest enigmas in franchise history. After starting the season 11-0, the Steelers won just one out of their final five regular-season games to finish 12-4, giving them the opportunity to host a playoff game against the Cleveland Browns. A game that began with Maurkice Pouncey snapping the […]
