C’mon Pittsburgh. Call the Pitt Athletic Dept. Let’s get this done! But remember to be nice when you call.
:09—Your Steelers lost to the Saints. It happens people. Let it go. Now we take it out on the Cincinnati Bengals. That’s all you really care about…that’s all you should care about.
:08—Pitt won in a must win situation. It’s possible they may see Penn State in a Bowl game?
:07—Just so you can stop wishing for it, if we get all the money in the world from the beginning of time, you still can’t afford Russell Martin. Let it go man. Let it go! He’s gone!
:06—Still looking for hard working, highly intelligent, creative and aggressive people in search of greatness. Join Achieving Greatness Inc. to be a part of Pittsburgh’s next business enterprise! Call 412-628-4856 for more information.
:05—The truth is if you miss this you miss a chance to be a part of history, The First Annual Achieving Greatness Awards Ceremony coming Saturday, Dec. 13 to the fabulous Blue Line Grille, 5th Avenue Downtown Pittsburgh, across from the rear of Consol Arena, featuring the Willie Stargell Pittsburgh and Allegheny County MVP Awards, The Connie Hawkins Summer Basketball Hall of Fame Inductions and presenting for the first time ever in the history of the City of Pittsburgh, the official Pittsburgh City League All Sports Hall of Fame Inductions, enhancing the greatest of all time posthumously and inducting 12 of the City League all time greatest athletes. All the details next week.
:04—If you beat the good teams and lose to the bad teams, it tells me you don’t have a talent problem. I’m just sayin’. I don’t know what I’m just saying. I’m just sayin’ it. You figure it out.
:03—Farewell to “The Beard.” Brett Keisel is gone probably for good. Torn tricep. Big loss…great player. Great guy. “But they all must fall in the round he calls!”
:02—All that said, don’t worry. I am staying with my original call. The Steelers finish at 9-7 and make the playoffs. Please baby…Please baby…Please baby…Please!
:01—We want to recognize two former great athletes who have gone on to glory. The great and legendary Bill Nunn Jr. Without him there was no Steelers dynasty. Period. And Eugene Venson, the brother of the great Lovie Venson. Their names will be added to the ceremony.
:00—Trust me on this, and I mean what I say, the Lakers will rise again. As God is my witness, they will rise. Now when I give the word…rain hell down on them! (Oops, my bad. Wrong movie. That’s the Gladiator one.)
