Black & Gold PGH — Live Every Monday at 7:00 PM Eastern

Where three guys from different corners of Pennsylvania settle their long-standing debates over a cold drink and a live microphone.

The Origin Story

It Started in 1988 at Drexel

Welcome to The Sports Porch, where three guys from different corners of Pennsylvania settle their long-standing debates over a cold drink and a live microphone. Whether you’re a die-hard Black & Gold loyalist or just someone who loves a heated sports argument, you’ve finally found your home on the internet.

It started in 1988 at Drexel University. Three guys — Steve from Pittsburgh, Chris from York, and Marc from Philadelphia — met as total strangers with vastly different allegiances. Steve was born into the Pittsburgh sports way of life, Chris arrived with a confusing mix of allegiances, and Marc was Philadelphia through and through. After decades of friendship, heated arguments, and enough misbehaving to fill a book, we decided to bring our unfiltered analysis to the masses.

Every Monday night at 7:00 PM Eastern, we go live to break down the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates. We don’t just recite box scores; we provide the kind of raw, passionate perspective that only comes from being in the trenches of fandom for a lifetime.

What We Cover

What You’ll Discover

  • Tactical breakdowns and predictions for the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates — every week.
  • Deep dives into front office moves: trades, draft picks, free agency, and roster decisions that define the teams.
  • Honest assessments of local rosters — from spotting the next breakthrough star to calling out a total bullpen disaster when it hits the field.
  • Nostalgic, unfiltered conversations with recurring voices like The Grand Schwalbini and Hockey Jesus, who help reminisce about the moments that made Pittsburgh sports great.
  • Civil war-style analysis when state rivalries boil over — Philly vs. Pittsburgh, Eagles vs. Steelers, Flyers vs. Penguins.
  • Regular, no-nonsense check-ins on the most critical players heading into a new season.
