Get fresh NerdWallet data on what your points and miles are really worth in 2025 — and why the answer might change how you book travel. Should you take a $650 flight voucher or 32,500 miles?

But first, they cover the week’s biggest travel headlines, including Southwest Airlines’ new partnership with EVA Air, Frontier’s companion certificate promotion and status match, and JetBlue opening up award bookings with Condor Airlines. Then, travel Nerd Craig Joseph joins Meghan to discuss NerdWallet’s latest airline, hotel, and credit card point valuations, with tips and tricks on comparing loyalty programs, maximizing transfer partners, and deciding when cash is more valuable than points. They also discuss the impact of devaluations, how close-in bookings can save you points, and why premium cabins can sometimes offer outsized redemption value.

Another thing Jon Gruden to The Fan Morning Show today was how much he loves Will Howard. How much are you buying in? Chris thinks it is totally overboard stuff from Gruden and that we can’t keep building up these expectations for a guy that barely practiced before the season. Chris went as far to say Howard won’t start more than a half season worth of games as long as he’s wearing black & gold. Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve was skeptical of Will Howard when he transitioned from Kansas State to Ohio State, and he mostly got proved wrong last season as Howard won the national title. Steve pointed out some issues, but why he was impressed by his work last season. Steve said a lot of people can easily knock Howard, or any OSU QB, for being surrounded by great receivers, but he showed that he can get the ball to playmakers. Steve doesn’t think Aaron Rodgers has lost anything physically, but he has his games/moments where he is showing signs of his age. Steve worries about how consistent Mike Tomlin is and why the Steelers should reach their cap on the same thing every year. Donny Football Debrief – So, just how much is Will Howard paying attention to Aaron Rodgers?…

Jon Gruden is coming back to town to see Pitt and Notre Dame clash on Saturday – and he thinks Pitt wins the football game. What will it take for Pitt to win this game? Mason Heintschel will need to have a big one, that’s for sure. The Irish have been hot as they come into Acrisure Stadium. Heintschel’s attitude and mindset is a good one to have because he seems like a pretty unflappable QB. How scary is Notre Dame, a team that has been playing for its season since suffering their second loss? The Panthers haven’t lost since making the QB change, but can they keep it going against a top tier program? KDKA TV’s Bob Pompeani joined the show. Pomp reacted to Paul Skenes winning the Cy Young and the big story that came from yesterday, centered around Skenes having ‘dreams’ of playing for the Yankees. Bob thinks Skenes will play at least 2 more full seasons here and that the Pirates have to go out and do something with a bang. What kind of atmosphere is around this game on Saturday and how can Pitt pull off the win? Pomp said the last thing Pitt wants to do is let Notre Dame out to a hot start with a crowd that will likely have a lot of Irish fans. Pomp’s crystal ball on Sunday tells him the Steelers win the game, but a close one. Chris got some thoughts from Bob ahead of the basketball Backyard Brawl tonight at 6.

Paul Skenes won the 2025 NL Cy Young award by a unanimous decision last night. We listened to Paul’s words and read the quotes as we continued to react to the report that came out yesterday regarding his ‘dream’ to play for the Yankees. How does that make us feel? Chris thinks Skenes made some odd little missteps in his words that weren’t really denying the story. He jumped from the Air Force to LSU after 2 years – what is stopping him this time? Donny believes he views helping the Pirates to the playoffs as a challenge that goes beyond the individual accolades he collects. How do fans feel about the future of Paul Skenes? Pirates insider Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show. Jason thought Paul Skenes struck a lot of the right cords last night in his words to the front office as they dive into the offseason, fresh off winning his first Cy Young award. The guys discussed Skenes not completely bashing the NJ dot com story about him wanting to play for the Yankees and the diplomatic approach he took to the questions. Jason doesn’t think Bob Nutting will change his approach with a threat of Skenes wanting to play elsewhere.

Ray noted that Joey Porter Jr. is the only guy that is in the same position in the secondary compared to the first matchup. Ray said the defensive backfield has to step up here. Ray isn’t overly concerned about Aaron Rodgers after one stinker of a game on Sunday Night Football.

Why does it feel like the fans care more than the head coach? Is Narduzzi just doing a bit here in his downplay of the Fighting Irish? The guys wondered how Pitt’s season could be rattled if they do get killed by Notre Dame on Saturday. Poni is worried about Desmond Reid being held out if Pat doesn’t see it as a big game. How are Pitt fans feeling going into the Notre Dame game? Is this the biggest game Pat Narduzzi has coached in Pittsburgh? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike puts a low percentage on a Mike Tomlin trade because it would require Tomlin’s want to do it, but also because the Steelers take such pride in only have 3 coaches in 50+ years. Mike said there will always be a team out there that is interested in having what the Steelers always have – being in playoff contention every year. Mike expects Tomlin to always have options, but doesn’t think it would be half of the league bowing down to have his services. Are the Giants an attractive job with Jaxson Dart at QB? Mike doesn’t sense any appetite in the Steelers to make a change. Jakobi Meyers is the only WR Mike heard the Steelers were in on at the deadline. Mike was confused by Tomlin saying it wasn’t an ‘off night’ for Aaron Rodgers, but not being concerned about his long-term performance. The guys caught Mike by surprise when they brought up the New York Post story regarding his wife and how the Steelers’ wives/girlfriends have no proof of her existence.

The national media is beginning to really turn the corner on Mike Tomlin. Even Rich Eisen questioned if it’s time for the Steelers to part ways with the longtime coach after the season if it ends in familiar fashion. Should we feel spoiled for all of the Tomlin years? The voices that rarely come out to defend MT every season aren’t doing the same thing this year. Will Art Rooney ever force Mike to make different hires?

Mike Tomlin isn’t worried about Aaron Rodgers after the other night. Poni thinks it was a bad enough game to scare him about the season’s future with him at QB. At what point are we ready for Mason Rudolph? There should be bounce back games against the Bengals and Bears, given their defenses.

Happy Veteran’s Day to all of our vets. Another Tomlin Tuesday was highlighted by media in New York naming Mike Tomlin as a real candidate as the Giants next head coach. We have had this conversation in the past, but is there any real inkling of this? The Mara family and the Rooney family are very close, so there is at least that dot to connect. Tomlin would have a potential franchise QB waiting for him if he made that move. The guys wondered how Tomlin would acclimate to the New York media, especially if things didn’t go well. If Jaxson Dart is the real deal, would that have Mike more inclined to change? There was a discussion that the Giants may have told their reporters to push this narrative a little bit. Would listeners be willing to part with Mike Tomlin if it meant big draft capital back from NYG? Tomlin-ism of the Week – Will Mike Tomlin be afraid of Joe Flacco again this Sunday?…

MVS also sounds like a guy that will be in the lineup sooner rather than later and not just hanging out at practice. We also got news that Asante Samuel Jr. is visiting the Steelers next week.
