Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

Draft Day Reality: early doubts, speed concerns, and proving himself

Atlanta → Pittsburgh: two franchises, two cultures, and a fresh start

Inside the Steelers Culture: what made Pittsburgh feel like home

In this episode of The Lyons Share, Mitch breaks down the first 12-team College Football Playoff field, why Notre Dame ended up on the outside looking in, and why the “we were ranked higher last week” argument doesn’t hold up against Miami’s head-to-head win. He also digs into Notre Dame’s decision to skip their bowl game, what that means for the fifth-year seniors and walk-ons who just lost one last trip with their brothers, and why there will always be controversy—no matter how big the playoff gets. Mitch shares his perspective on Cinderella teams like James Madison, the realities of an imperfect system, and why, at the end of the day, the best solution is still the simplest: win more games.

Mitch recaps a must-win Thursday night: five sacks on Dak, cleaner pockets for Goff, Amon-Ra’s gutsy return, and big plays from Montgomery and the electric Jahmyr Gibbs. Where Detroit stands at 8–5, why turnover margin is the swing stat, and how a road trip to the Rams could turbo-charge the playoff push—then Steelers, Vikings, Bears to close.

In this episode, I share my first reactions to Michigan State hiring Pat Fitzgerald to lead the Spartans and why I think he’s a strong fit for the program. We dig into his Big Ten pedigree, blue-collar coaching style, how his time away from the game may actually help in the NIL era, and the realities of the Northwestern hazing scandal and second chances. I wrap up with what this hire could mean for MSU’s culture, recruiting, and how quickly the Spartans can get back to bowl eligibility.
