In this edition of “Madden Monday,” Mark Madden and I try to figure out what the Pirates will do in terms of cleaning out the management structure.

Mark shares my skepticism that Bob Nutting will act harshly. We both expect a few minor scapegoats, and that’s it.

Then we recap preseason Game 1 for the Steelers. I was a huge fan of what I saw from Devin Bush and James Washington.

We’ll see if Mark had any other favorite players from the game.

Plus, Mark and I analyze the comedy show in Oakland that is the Antonio Brown saga. And, boy, is it a saga already. Frozen feet. Missed practices. Helmet protests. Could we have expected anything less?

Le’Veon Bell has a new rap video out. Mark tells us if he approves.

Other topics? O.J. comments on A.B. 1-877-KARS4KIDS is ruining America. Trish Stratus versus Charlotte. And the glory of his transcontinental flight to see Liverpool.
