Tomlin Steps Down, Why Everyone's Sick & Cemetery Bone Heist
Mike Tomlin resigned this week after nearly 20 years with the Steelers. We're talking about his coaching legacy, what went wrong, and what's next for his career and the franchise. Plus, host Megan Harris and producer Sophia Lo are chatting about the PA Farm Show's butter sculpture, super flu, "The Pitt" at the Golden Globes, a new weekend newspaper, space news, and a very strange case of stolen human remains.
