The full Pomp and Joe Show, with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Austin Bechtold (behind the glass), from Wednesday, November 12th, 2025
Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Do you expect Aaron Rodgers to bounce back Sunday? Mike Tomlin said Jaylen Warren can't play every snap. The Steelers have activated Will Howard to the active roster. There are rumblings of Mike Tomlin and the Giants being a great marriage. It's incredible what the Penguins have built from where they were before Mario came here. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show.
Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Mark Kaboly: Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark thinks there is less than a 1% chance the Steelers move off Tomlin now as a "free pass." Joe thinks there wouldn't be a backlash if the Steelers traded Tomlin to the Giants for a top five pick. Kenneth Gainwell has proven he can provide a different type of option at running back, but we all want to see Jaylen Warren get more opportunities.
Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Pitt hosts Notre Dame in the biggest game of the season. If Pitt wins, they could be ranked top 15 in the country. Pat Narduzzi said this is "absolutely not" a must-win game! This is technically not an ACC game and if Pitt beats Georgia Tech and Miami, they have a great shot at playing in the ACC Championship Game. Antonio Brown is going to be on house arrest with a GPS tracker. Paul Skenes Yankee rumor... do we believe this?
Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Pat Narduzzi said Notre Dame could beat Pitt 100-10 and it would be ok as long as Pitt wins the next two. Narduzzi is trying to minimize the game. Is Narduzzi trying to take pressure off his squad? Pitt believes internally it's under ranked nationally. Mike Garafolo said Aaron Rodgers' reactions to bad plays from himself and teammates has been a lot.

Mark was surprised Kaleb Johnson played. The Steelers are giving receivers too much space at the snap of the football. Asante Samuel Jr. picked the Steelers and must think he has a chance to play. Mark thinks the Steelers win 41-40!
