Steelers fans revolt? Are 'fire Matt Canada' chants part of larger trend of Pittsburgh sports anger?
In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to discuss the latest round of "fire Matt Canada" chants from Steelers fans. Are some getting carried away in piling the blame for the offense's struggles on the coordinator? Or is any level of anger justified? And are the chants against Canada part of a larger trend of fan anger in Pittsburgh, given recent incidents with Pitt's Phil Jurkovec, former Penguins GM Ron Hextall and former Pirates catcher Austin Hedges? Our duo tackles those questions, weighs the value of the Steelers' 3-2 record and analyzes the importance of receiver Diontae Johnson's return from injury. They also ponder the importance of Pitt's meeting with No. 14 Louisville on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium, react to Penn State coach James Franklin's viral rant against a reporter this week and weigh in on calls for MLB to change its playoff format in response to upsets of World Series favorites including the Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Dodgers.
