If you like sports talked mixed with miscellaneous travel tales, this is the episode for you, as Cody mixes in tales of his return from Antigua, featuring an overnight stay at the hotel directly next to Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Embrace the tank Pens fans! Get ready to embrace hockey talk beyond the game-to-game stuff as the Mikko Rantanen trade took the NHL headlines and discussion of core players being moved are heating up (NO SIDNEY CROSBY ISNT GOING ANYWHERE ANY "SOURCE" WHO TELLS YOU SO IS LITERALLY LESS CREDIBLE THAN US).

As for the rest of the sports in Pittsburgh, the Steelers are essentially irrelevant for the short term and is the NFL starting to trend that way with this Super Bowl matchup?

The nicest thing one can say about the Pirates right now is that they are trying to be the best at being an incompetent baseball organization (at least they brought someone back?).

It sure is a pessimistic playoff edition, everyone is picking the Ravens to win in the first round of the NFL playoffs, but like...maybe?

We also look at the Penguins as the team's halfway point of their season has come and gone, expect trades, who goes and what to expect?

Now that we have cooled down from the national news cycle, we return to our regular sports talk. Don't look now, but are the Penguins getting hot? Steelers clinch a playoff berth, but the division is on the line this weekend in Baltimore, and the Pirates do nothing of significance.

10-3 Steelers at 11-2 Eagles, not much more needs to be said there. We touch base on some international headline grabbing news that's occurred in this southwestern corner of Pennsylvania, and are the Penguins back to their old ways?

We decided we've earned ourselves a Thanksgiving break and WOW do we come back with a jam packed episode and Nevin wastes no time putting some hot fire out there

We have on tap for you this week:

• Steelers and the first episode reactions to Hard Knocks: AFC North In-Season
• Penguins trade for Tomasino, win four in a row (so far)
• Nevin previews December 31st game against Red Wings for some reason
• Local woman falls into sinkhole, search declared a recovery
• Things more realistic than the Pirates pitching to big name free agents
• Steelers history lesson: The Safety Position

and probably more! We try to be active on social media, but we do have other stuff we do too so like and subscribe wherever you can find YinzCenter!

Steelers are in first place in the AFC North, we give you a preview for the week 12 matchup against the Browns, the Penguins suck, Paul Skenes wins an award, and did Jay Leno get his ass kicked in Greensburg or fall down a hill?

We discuss all of this and more this week on YinzCenter!

Nevin makes his return to the show bringing plenty of details from his sled hockey adventures from the past few weeks. Plenty to talk about as Nevin returns to the Burgh as the 7-2 Steelers take on the 7-3 Ravens for some midseason pole positioning in the AFC North, the biggest Pittsburgh v Baltimore matchup in the Steel City in at least five years in terms of the standings!

The Penguins rebuild looks to be underway after Lars Eller is shipped off to Washington and we watch Tristan Jarry's (brief?) return to the crease in Columbus.

We also break down Bob Nutting's Willy Wonka-esque giveaway in search of the 1/1 Paul Skenes rookie card from Topps. Would Bob Nutting's "everything" be enough to give up what could potentially be the most sought after baseball card since rookie Nolan Ryan?

Plus we deliver an important public safety announcement to warn yinz to not drive into buildings, it's getting a bit too frequent.

Half of YInzCenter returns from a brief break, bringing a slightly new format for yinz listeners. Nev is currently in Dallas with his hockey team, so I figured its time for the listeners to get a formal introduction, and with a new format in place, we found an intern applicant who has listened since day one to help us possibly take YinzCenter to next levels. Does the intern pass the test to the listeners? Reach out and let us know!
