Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:

  1. Similarly to much of the world, I’ve been watching quite a bit of the World Cup this week. If there was a world competition for American football, which country do you think would be the best outside of the U.S.? Based on current NFL players, Canada might have the best shot, although Australia and Nigeria could put together some talent as well.
  2. The Brendan Sorsby story is the biggest one in football at the moment. If you were the Steelers, which pick would you put in for him in the supplemental draft? Would you put in a pick at all?
  3. There’s talk of the Steelers potentially making some upgrades to Acrisure Stadium. If they did make some changes, what updates would you want to see?
  4. Earlier this week, I ranked the Steelers draft class by how much playing time I think they’ll get in 2026. Who do you think will see the field the most? Who could surprise?
  5. Jarrett ranked every quarterback on the Steelers’ upcoming schedule. Let’s mix it up: Rank every Steelers starting quarterback post Ben Roethlisberger.
  6. Today, I’m getting packed up to move to a summer internship. It’s exciting, but moving to a new city is going to take some getting used to. Do you have any stories or advice from living on your own in a new place?
