Chris Mueller has been plying his trade as a sports radio host - or hot-take artist, if you prefer - since 2008. He's called 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh home since its inception in 2010, and currently co-hosts the award-winning (no, really) PM Team from 2-6 p.m., Monday through Friday. When he's not fielding complaints about Mike Tomlin, he can occasionally be heard hosting some weekend shows on the Infinity Sports Network, or read in Yardbarker, and the Beaver County Times. He once posted a picture of homemade gumbo that enraged the entire state of Louisiana, as well as multiple professional chefs. He apologizes for this, as well as for any future opinions that you might disagree with. On Twitter @ChrisMuellerPGH.
