| 0:12.9 | Good morning to you. Good. Tuesday morning. I'm Dan Kovajovitch of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. |
| 0:19.1 | This is Daily Shot of Steelers. |
| 0:26.1 | Comes your way bright and early every weekday. If you're into hockey and or baseball, |
| 0:31.9 | I also offer daily shots of penguins and pirates in the same place that you found this, because I also cover those teams. And those teams also have their own versions of endless debates about a specific |
| 0:43.2 | important position. Only in this instance, I'm not going to lie, I'm really not feeling it. |
