Starkey Six Pack with baseball, college basketball, and the next kickoff rule

HOUR 1 WITH JOE STARKEY AND PAUL ZEISE: Starkey Six Pack. Steelers sign kick returner/WR/RB Cordarrelle Patterson. If kickers kick the ball out of bounds, it goes to the 30 instead of the 25. In the XFL, it was to the 35. Paul proposes to the 40 yard line. The new kickoff rule makes things worse without a 10 yard difference this season from the 25 yard line through the end zone instead of the 35. Joe isn't very excited for Patterson because he's old and people will kick around him. How are we supposed to believe the Pirates are about winning when Bailey Falter is in the rotation. The Penguins beat Carolina 4-1 yesterday. The NCAA is trying to remove college prop bets. NCAA President Charlie Baker thinks it is an issue with the integrity of college sports. It appears you can pick teams, but not prop bets. Betting is not going anywhere. JEFF PATTON OF THE BASEBALL CARD CASTLE joined the show for this week's Starkey's Card of the Week is a Jared Jones signed rookie card.

3-25 Joe Starkey Show Whole

Welp. Starkey did it again. Or should we say 'Alvin in Aliquippa' did it again. Joe pranked Bob on his Saturday show and Joe made Bob relive it. The topic shifts to the NFL Owners meetings and the comments made by Mike Tomlin. Tomlin says that Russell Wilson has the "pole position" when it comes to the quarterback position. Which Joe thinks that means a competition will soon occur between him and newly acquired Justin Fields. Bob asks what is wrong with Wilson since the Broncos are eating $85 million.  More on Tomlin's comments from the Owners Meetings. Some talk of Patrick Queen being among the highest paid linebackers. Bob poses the question: how long a leash does Wilson have before they give Fields the nod? We take a few phone calls on the QB situation and whether or not listeners are positive about the quarterback room.   The Pirates have announced their opening day roster and Jared Jones has made the team. Henry Davis also starts in the majors after rumors they could start him in the minors. Luis Ortiz may be in the 5th starters spot. The question is now: why is Paul Skenes not in the majors to make the rotation better? Why have the Pirates not taken a look at Trevor Bauer? If the Pirates signed Aroldis Chapman and Domingo German, are they really worried about Bauer's past?  Joe and Bob look at the NFL quarterback carousel and who upgraded and who downgraded. Mike Tomlin said that the Steelers never had any interest in Kirk Cousins.  College Basketball talk. The ACC has made the committee look foolish as they have carved through the tournament. Is this the best time of the year in sports? The Dolphins have an offer on the table for Odel Beckham Jr. Should the Steelers have an offer for him? They still need a wide receiver and Bob says "that ship has sailed". Looking at kickoffs and new rules. Joe and Bob discuss the lost art of the kick off return and both agree the more returns the better.  Jason Mackey joins us from Florida to talk about the Pirates' Opening Day roster. Jason says that the Pirates should go with a new starter every 5th day. Bob asks about the disappointment by Roasny Contreras and the lack of taking that 5th starter role. Joe is sad about the rotation and how he wants Skenes to start in the majors and a big name. Jason agrees that the Pirates did not do enough to address their starting rotation. Jason says the Pirates should look into Trevor Bauer. The topic of Paul Skenes comes up. Jason thinks he may be in the majors before Memorial Day. Joe says 79-80 wins is doable and they only reason they would not do more is because of pitching.  The NFL banned the hip drop tackle. Are the guys in favor of it?
