Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

Re: Colorado Avalanche's defenseman Cale Makar just signed a new 8 year extension for $20.4M a year which will make him the highest paid player in the NHL.

Just sayin':

1. You think Zach Werenski's asking price for a new contract just went up?
2. That's almost 20% (the max a player can get under the collective bargaining agreement) of the current NHL (hard) salary cap.

Cincinnati Princeton RB (Miami OH commit) Jordan Hall will be taking an unofficial visit to OSU for the Ball State game.

Recently offered by Penn State. Missed his entire Jr season due to injury at LaSalle. Won the MVP honors at the Cbus UA camp in May. There, he ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash, had a 4.12-second shuttle, a 9-foot, 1-inch broad jump and a 30.4-inch vertical. Add in a 10.72-second 100m time from track. Could be a steal.

Pittsburgh Steelers (official thread)

McCarthy says all four Steelers quarterbacks have earned spots

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike McCarthy expressed confidence in all four of his quarterbacks' futures with the organization following Thursday night's 28-27 preseason finale loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Asked if he believed all four quarterbacks had earned a roster spot, McCarthy described it as "a very accurate evaluation."

"I feel good about the quarterback room," he said. "I've been saying it for quite some time, and they've showed it on the field. We got two veterans that we can win with, and we got two young guys that we're excited about the future."

Though McCarthy has never kept four quarterbacks on his 53-man roster in Week 1 throughout his 18-year career as a head coach, he has strongly hinted throughout the preseason that this year will break his precedent.

Along with starter Aaron Rodgers and veteran backup Mason Rudolph, McCarthy has been impressed by the performances of second-year quarterback Will Howard and rookie Drew Allar.

McCarthy's two young quarterbacks were the focal point yet again Thursday night. Starting his second consecutive preseason game, Howard completed 9 of 15 attempts for 69 yards with two touchdown passes. He also threw an interception, took three sacks and was evaluated for a head injury in the second half. He wasn't available to speak with the media after the game because he was still being evaluated.

Howard's first score came as he tossed a quick pass to wide receiver Germie Bernard, who muscled his way through contact for a 13-yard touchdown. Howard also connected with tight end Lake McCree for a 5-yard score in the first half.

People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

1. Pie and pi are different. If you want to pretend to be "smart" or "nerdy" and celebrate pi day (March 14), then fine. And if you want to serve pie on pi day, then fine... I like pie. But it isn't really that cute. Pie and pi are different. Serve pie on pi day if you want, but they aren't related. It's just kinda dumb.

..then there is hair pie which is completely different yet again.

OL Mason Wilhelm (Official Thread)

Better Know a Buckeye: Ohio State Legacy Mason Wilhelm Rounds Out Buckeyes’ 2026 Class on Interior Offensive Line

163443_h.jpg


Better Know A Buckeye is our look at every member of Ohio State’s 2026 recruiting class and how they became Buckeyes as they prepare to begin their OSU careers this fall.

The son of Matt Wilhelm, a former Buckeye linebacker who won a national championship at Ohio State in 2002, Mason Wilhelm is the final installment of this series for the 2026 class.

Depth Chart Outlook

With four starting offensive linemen back from last season and plenty of depth behind them, Wilhelm is unlikely to see significant playing time as a freshman.

Having practiced at both center and guard in his first offseason at Ohio State, Wilhelm could provide valuable depth on the interior offensive line next season, when Luke Montgomery, Carson Hinzman and Austin Siereveld could all be in the NFL. His best shot of earning a starting role will likely come as an upperclassman.

OT Phillip Daniels (All B1G)

I'm looking forward to finding my theory on his play last year was correct. That is, last year, at every snap he had to do his job and keep an eye on Tegra's job. Now that he's got Austin playing next to him, I expect that he'll benefit significantly from being able to be more focused on his responsibilities alone.
