In this week’s “Beyond the Bylines,” Tim Benz and Joe Starkey debate the Pittsburgh Pirates’ season-opening loss to the Mets. They also dive into the Sweet 16, the Penguins’ crucial victory in Ottawa, and they kick around the theory that Aaron Rodgers’ latest contract delay may be about money.
Tim also makes Joe talk about goalie interference, much to Joe’s chagrin. The guys agree on the hockey overtime debate, they disagree about some Opening Day red flags for the Pirates, and they aren’t ready to meet in the middle on the Steelers’ draft strategy.
Most importantly, Starkey and Benz rate Bill Murray’s movies, pontificate about Cardale Jones’ story about his draft meeting in Pittsburgh, and wax nostalgic about Sports Illustrated covers.
