Did we just hear the worst sports take in history on Sportsnet in Canada? One analyst tries to defend Jacob Trouba and does it very, very poorly.

The full Joe Starkey Show with Bob Pompeani from Monday, May 27th, 2024

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani: Jacob Truba's cheap shots bother a caller. The Pirates needed to make better signings in the offseason and a caller says the sign players to other teams want. Starkey does it again and prank calls the station, but didn't do it alone and had to use someone else to trick us.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani: Cam Heyward is holding out of voluntary OTAs. We wonder how long it might linger and if Heyward will hold in or hold out. The Pirates are second in baseball in quality starts. It was a no-brainer for the Steelers to go get Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, but could Fields eventually be the starter this year?…
