Steve and Matt are talking about their 8-8 fantasy tie for the week, but Matt's holding a slight lead at 30-17 over Steve's 29-18 record so far. At the top of the show we've got some Pirates highlights, especially Cutch. With the MLB regular season wrapping up, we're also talking current standings and wild card options. From baseball, we move on to some Pitt Football news and Heisman Watch players before talking some hockey! With two pre-season games left, the Penguins are looking to their home-opener next Wednesday. The young guys are looking good, but since it's still pre-season, we haven't seen much of the main roster yet. As for this week's NFL talk Matt and Steve talk about this week's issue - a muffed punt and a blocked kick. Overall, we learned not to showboat, and that the Red Zone offense needs to improve third down conversions, espeically with the Ravens this week - in Baltimore.

The guys wrap up this week's show with some BOLD predictions about NFL - Week 4.
