Saturday Night Open Thread: ‘king Kong Ain’t Got Anything On Me!’

Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here at BTSC to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT).

The first Training Day of the Steelers’ 2026 camp starts next week. A new Mike is at the helm. Here’s hoping our Steelers “Go Ape” prepping for 2026.

This 6 pack of questions is here to get the conversation going, and also let us know what you’re eating/drinking!

Pittsblitz56 has been counting down to training camp. 

1) How do you think Aaron Rodgers will be counting down to his planned retirement after the 2026 season (wrong answers only plz)?

Steelwoman posted about blowing up bridges in Pittsburgh.

2a) What former Steeler would you say burned the most bridges when leaving the ‘Burgh? (potential candidates: AB84, Le’Veon Bell, Dionte Johnson, etc…)

2b) What was the most spectacular demolition you’ve ever seen (preferably IRL)?

The injury bugs are already biting around the NFL as Panthers EDGE Nic Scourton tore his ACL Thursday at the first training camp practice. Since we have an embarrassment of riches at pass rusher, let’s do a hypothetical: Assume Alex Highsmith is being traded to the Panthers. 

3) What haul (player/picks) would make trading Highsmith to the Panthers worth it for our Steelers? 

(Author’s note: Listen my dudes/dudettes, I know that trade ain’t happening. However, I scraped the bottom of my question barrel last week, so now I poured some water in to loosen any question-like-residue stuck on the sides, and this was the result. Remember this article was free and some would say you got exactly what you paid for.)

There’s a lot of articles about former Steelers and releases (Ben saying Mason should be released, Ryan Clark’s press release about his ESPN release, one about Super Bowl Champion Kenny Pickett having begged the Eagles to be traded).

4) If there was one person in the entire Steeler’s organization you could release, who would it be and why?

Training camp starting next week has me wondering what tunes they’ll be playing while they’re working out.

5) Let us know what you listen to when doing the following:

• A. Exercise/ sports
• B. Ride to work/road trip
• C. Chores/yard work

6) Vote for Song of The Night: What song should be the anthem for Mike McCarthy’s first Steelers’ training camp?

My vote: Unwritten – Natasha Bedingfield
