A look at the week ahead on the site …
Monday: I’ll be out in Latrobe today with the Steelers, spelling Neal Coolong. And in addition to covering the football, I’ll file the very first session of our new question-and-answer format, one that will both increase the number of questions fielded, as well as the variety. It will be called ‘Five Qs at 5.’ I’ll do the Monday and Friday editions. Neal will do Tuesday, Matt Gajtka Wednesday and Josh Yohe Thursday. At night, Matt will be at PNC Park for the opener of a Pirates-Cubs trilogy.
Tuesday: The Steelers are off, but Neal will have Five Qs. Josh will be at Pirates-Cubs. I’ll do a full radio show, 3-6 p.m., on 105.9 the X filling in for Mark Madden.
Wednesday: Morning Java, starring Josh and I and a billion bobbleheads, will go up bright and early. Neal goes back to Latrobe. Josh goes back to PNC. Matt takes care of Five Qs. And climb back up Green Tree hill for the second and final fill-in show on 105.9 the X, again 3-6 p.m.

Thursday: Gajtka will bring the newest Matt’s Stats to the table. Josh has Five Qs. Neal is in Latrobe. I’m expecting to join him out there, as well.
Friday: The Insider goes up a tick after midnight. At 5 p.m., I’m on 970 ESPN with David Todd. And at the same time, my second set of Five Qs gets posted. Neal is in Latrobe. Josh and I have the opener of Pirates-Dodgers at PNC, that one currently lining up as — wow — Gerrit Cole vs. Clayton Kershaw.
Saturday: Josh heads out to Latrobe while Neal embarks for Canton — not by Bus, though that would be poetic — to cover Jerome Bettis’ Hall of Fame induction. I’m back at PNC.
Sunday: Matt wraps up Pirates-Dodgers. Neal stays in Canton for the Steelers-Vikings NFL preseason opener that night.
As always, expect news, videos, podcasts and other surprises along the way.
