:08—By now you know the…opps did it again. I mean your Pittsburgh Pirates are for real. Taking 2 out of 3 from the Cardinals this early is no easy task. If the pitching holds up again as it did last year, the sky’s the limit. (Don’t count out a hot trade this season, I mean something big.)
:07—Never mind O.J., what about James Harrison? Come on Pittsburgh Steelers, do the right thing, bring “The Silver Back” home.
:06—Clearly Fred Crawford and his boys got to the Pacers and made them a deal they can’t refuse. How else do you explain this nosedive? And who else has that much juice than Fred?!?!
:05—The Left Hand Legend, that is Tom “Bum” Coates, and the Pittsburgh Old Timers are in line to repeat for another national title. Stay tuned and stay in touch.
:04—Hey Speaking of the Night of the Champions, a special thank you goes out to “Smokin’” Jim Frazier, Al Levin “The Talking Machine” and the Bethel Park T.V. crew for filming the event. Job well done boys! And a huge, ginormus thanks to Ulish Carter and Rossano Stewart, the photographer, and the New Pittsburgh Courier staff for a tremendous spread in the paper.
:03—The Pens clinched their division. All the hockey fans out there know what that means. For the rest of you that don’t know a thing about hockey, like me…well…that’s all I got!
