:09—Your Pittsburgh Steelers got slapped around by Carolina last week. For as much as I continue to endorse what Chuck Noll believed…“That all games mattered or they wouldn’t play them!” I have to give you what the Steelers and Coach Tomlin want: pre-season games don’t matter. That being said, “LET’S GET READY TO RUUUMMMBBBLLLEEE!”
:08—That being said…Tom Terrific, a/k/a Tom Brady, is back baby. Brady will suit up against the black and gold in the opener, Thursday night at their joint. I don’t know about the boys, but I don’t sweat Brady and the Pats. “You wanna be the best, you gotta beat the best!” Buckle up boys…“Don’t nobody give me my guns and tell me to ride!” (James Coburn, a/k/a Britt, “The Magnificent Seven.”)
:07—The Pirates got swept by the Brewers, but you have to let it go. It’s time to get along and get it on in St. Louis, but I’ll tell you again that’s why this team can’t win a world series now. You have to win the games you’re supposed to win and this jinx in Milwaukee has got to stop.
:06—High school football is here. “Let’s Get It On!” Parents and all others, support our student athletes. Remember they’re called student athletes (student first) for a reason. Be safe in the streets. Be careful going and coming to the game. And please sit down, shut up, watch the game and remember your time is up. (I’m talking to you dad!)
:05—Football…a good cowboy flick…one in the same. That being said, I watched the “The Magnificent Seven” for the 99th time. Here are two things for ya. Can you name the real names of the seven without cheating? (ANSWER BELOW) and here’s your Top 10 Reminder of the best shoot-em ups of all time: #1 “The Magnificent Seven,” #2 “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” #3 “The Wild Bunch,” #4 “Rio Bravo,” #5 “Unforgiven,” #6 “High Plains Drifter,” #7 “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” #8 “Young Guns,” #9 “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly,” #10 “The Long Riders.” (Got a better list? You know how to text me. 412-628-4856)
:04—By the time you read this, it means Pitt beat Youngstown State, Penn State beat Temple and West Virginia beat Georgia Southern. You’re welcome!
:03—Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Tebow man, but tell me again why Tebow can be an NFL quarterback and Terrelle Pryor who has twice as much athletic talent can’t be? I’m just askin’!
:02—While you’re dozing on the couch, remember Ms. Serena is about to make history at the U.S. Open.
:01—Here are the Seven: Yul Brynner (Chris), Steve McQueen (Vin), Charles Bronson (Bernardo), James Coburn (Britt), Robert Vaughn (Lee), Brad Dexter (Harry Luck), and the one you never know, Horst Buchholz (Chico)…“RIDE ON, WE DEAL IN LEAD FRIEND!”
