THE McCARTHY EFFECT | 105.9 The X | Mark Madden (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here's an excerpt from my latest TribLive.com column: Mike McCarthy scripts the Steelers’ first 15 first- and second-down plays. At New England, those 15 plays gained 53 yards. Against Cincinnati, those 15 plays gained 133 yards and scored a touchdown. That’s McCarthy. A real coach. Not a TV analyst in masquerade. Mike Tomlin forces a rock fight and loses that game. The fingerprints of the McCarthy effect could be seen all over the Steelers' 30-27 home win against Cincinnati this past Sunday. To
DECIDE ON PORTER | 105.9 The X | Mark Madden (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Joey Porter Jr. cluster(bleep) has gone long enough. It might be difficult. The Steelers double-crossed themselves by putting Porter's charade of a bad back on the official injury list. But the Steelers should be the Steelers, at long last. Or fine and suspend Porter for refusing to play. He's a Greenfield guy. Not a dishonest bone in his body. He's being forced to lie about this, and uncomfortably so.
PENS: OLD. OLDER, OLDEST | 105.9 The X | Mark Madden (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here's an excerpt from my latest TribLive.com column: The Penguins have 13 forwards and eight defensemen under one-way NHL contract. The former figure doesn’t include Ben Kindel, who is still on his rookie deal but a lock to make the team. That doesn’t allow much room for young players on two-way contracts. Like Avery Hayes, Harrison Brunicke and Rutger McGroarty, to name a few. The Penguins’ first two five-man units will likely include players that are 40, 39, 39, 36, 35, 34 and 33. Trying to c
IT'S SKENES' FAULT | 105.9 The X | Mark Madden (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Pirates are going to miss the playoffs. The main reason is that Paul Skenes went from Cy Young to mediocre. The citizens prefer to blame manager Don Kelly, the bullpen, or injuries. But Kelly wasn't supposed to be Manager of the Year. The bullpen wasn't forecast to dominate. Every team has to deal with players getting hurt. Skenes is the reigning and defending National League Cy Young Award winner. He was supposed to be a sure thing. Possibly because lots of Bucco fans wear Skenes merchandis
YOU PAID WATT, SO PAY PORTER | 105.9 The X | Mark Madden (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here's an excerpt from my latest TribLive.com column: ESPN posted its annual list of the top 100 NFL players. I usually give short shrift to such filler. But the inclusion of only two Steelers seems revealing: Watt at No. 65, Heyward at No. 70. Is that the state of the Steelers' star power? Two old guys? To be fair, Heyward isn't past his prime. He's extended it. Watt still has to prove he can do that. He's likely chagrined that nemesis Myles Garrett sits atop ESPN's list at No. 1. Ever since Wa
