Steelers Offseason Moves, Pirates Prospect Buzz + Pierre McGuire on Penguins’ Deadline Plans

Описание: On this episode of Larry and the Big Man, Larry Richert, Jay Caufield, and producer Dave Racchini bounce from Indianapolis and the NFL Combine to what it could mean for the Steelers’ offseason—especially the wide receiver room and other roster priorities as free agency heats up.

The crew also spotlights Pittsburgh’s big-screen love letter to the sport with the “Football Town” film experience, plus a hilarious set upgrade thanks to a Jack Lambert surprise package.

Then it’s baseball: Pirates spring training buzz and why Connor Griffin has fans dreaming big—along with the real conversation about timing, development, and what it would take to bring a teenager north.

Finally, the guys check in with Pierre McGuire to break down the Penguins’ post-Olympics momentum, Sidney Crosby’s status, why Pittsburgh looks so connected across all three zones, and what the team could target ahead of the NHL trade deadline—including Pierre’s thoughts on buyers, sellers, and the state of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
