Have you ever wanted a little more from your sports coverage?
With their new video series “Beyond the Bylines,” TribLive sports writers Tim Benz and Joe Starkey dare to go there.
Airing Fridays at 8 a.m., they’ll take on the week’s biggest story — this week, the focus is obviously on new Steelers coach Mike McCarthy.
But they’ll go beyond that, hashing out what it might mean further down the line, who it might impact and getting to aspects that might have been overlooked. From Steelers to Penguins to Pirates to Pitt.
And with Benz and Starkey at the mic, it’s likely — nah, it’s certain — they’ll veer off into a variety of topics, some not even sports related. Not to mention comments from viewers.
Listen, it’s just good ol’ Pittsburgh sports talk from a couple of savvy ol’ news hounds.
You can catch the show live on TribLive’s Facebook page or TribSports on YouTube.
Here’s a look at the debut episode, with Benz and Starkey taking on potential Steelers hires, the Penguins’ hot streak, Pitt’s tarping concept at Acrisure Stadium and classic memories of the Civic Arena.
