:10—You only need to look at the state of linebackers in today’s NFL to better appreciate those who came before; and I’m not just thinking about the Steelers. I’m talking the entire league. Not many today can match up to the likes of Jack Lambert, Dick Butkus, Ray Nitschke, Jack Ham and the greatest of them all “L.T.”…Lawrence Taylor, just to name a few.
:09—Tony Stewart ran over a guy who got out of his car after an incident at a car race. After skipping three races, Stewart is back…what? You know that’s all I got on racing.
:08—Pitt destroyed Delaware 62-0. That’s good. That’s okay, but that’s also Delaware. Don’t buy your Bowl tickets just yet.
:07—Special thanks goes out to Monica, the proud owner of “The Lounge on Verona” for hosting our new company, Achieving Greatness Inc., at our Labor Day weekend holiday Par-Tay. A great turnout and great time was had by all. And man is her fried chicken UN – BE – LIEVE – ABLE! And wait ‘til you try that special sauce…IT – IS – SPECIAL.
:06—Here’s a win – win for ya. Go see “When the Game Stands Tall” and get your movie fix and your sports fix, all at the same time. It’s a true story that is simply amazing in and of itself. A football team that actually won 150 games in a row and was once ranked the #2 team in the nation. I mean this was legit! It’s not quite “Remember the Titans” and Denzel, but it’s good, really good. I give it four basketballs and a must see.
:05—I know I told you to relax and the Pirates would be okay, but good lord “Skipper.” When you have the lead going into the 7th inning and they start hitting your starter, please, please, please go to the bull pen. That’s why you have them!!!
:04—For some reason, you think you’ve outgrown Smokey Robinson. First, let me remind you…you’re not that old. Secondly, we’re only talking about one of the three greatest song writers of all time. (The other two would be John Lennon and Paul McCartney—come on don’t hate. It is what it is. Just look up the stats.) Anyway…put the “Smokey Robinson and The Miracles’ Greatest Hits” on, close your eyes and remember…” Going to a Go Go,” “Tears of a Clown,” “Second that Emotion,” “Ooh Baby, Baby,” “Cruzin’,” “Quiet Storm”…now you remember…feels good huh???
:03—City League High School football is on! I know it’s not what it used to be, but it’s all we’ve got and it’s still good. Go out and support your Pittsburgh City League High School teams and be respectful and safe.
:02—C’mon man, you knew they were going to cut Michael Sam, the NFL’s first openly gay player…yes, you did…yes, you did . . . you did too…oh please, shut up, just shut up!
:01—Okay, okay, okay…the U.S. Open is going on. Serena, Venus and them are playing up in New York somewhere…what? Now you know I don’t know much more than that, but that’s enough information to get you started. Now go!
:00—GAME OVER
