Welcome to the first episode of the Steelergentsia podcast: intelligent(yeah) thoughts on the Steelers. I’m Jack Hatfield, a Southern Steelers fan out of South Carolina, and I break down football the way I’ve fixed technology for 35 years: what broke, why, and how you fix it.
In this episode:
- Browns 27, Steelers 24: the second-quarter collapse, a 56-yard field goal with 10 seconds left, and the Thursday-night curse in Cleveland
- Rodgers and Metcalf nearly pull it off, plus T.J. Watt’s monster night
- Sideline fireworks: is it passion or a problem? Heyward says he won’t apologize.
- Joey Porter Jr. traded to Dallas, and what it means for a banged-up cornerback room
- Colts at Steelers preview (Sunday, Oct 11, 1:00 PM ET, CBS): injuries, three keys to the game, the player to watch
- IntelligentsiaSports.com: the fan-run network is looking for the biggest fan of every NFL team
