:10—Kudos to Bill “The Real Deal” Neal for his Armon “The Hammer” Gilliam/Leroy “Free” Freeman Memorial Hard Work Basketball Camp. A great time had by all, 72 youths, ages 8-16, participated Saturday and Sunday under sunny skies and the watchful eyes of their parents. The camp, sponsored by Highmark, UPMC, Gateway Health, Chief Executive of Allegheny County Rich Fitzgerald, East Liberty McDonald’s, KBK Enterprises and The New Pittsburgh Courier is in its 42nd year, 5th year under the Armon Gilliam/Leroy Freeman banner. A very special thanks to the Penn Hills YMCA for the use of their facilities.
:09—The Olympics are here. The Olympics are here. It looks to be a China, U.S. competition for most medals, with Russia, under drug suspension/suspicion, an also-ran at this Olympics. Look for big medal hauls for the U.S. in swimming, women’s gymnastics, led by the astonishing Simone Biles, quite probably the most dominating athlete on the planet, and track and field.
:08—If the U.S. basketball team does not win every game by 20+ points, it will be a huge upset. Make that 30+ points. U.S. basketball, women’s gymnastics, Simone Biles for all-around, Katie Ledecky in the 400 and 800 meter swims and the other Dream Team, U.S. women’s basketball, are stone cold locks. Bet the house. Bet your neighbor’s house too.
:07—Steelers camp is open. The annual pilgrimage has begun. Despite the suspensions, look for the Steelers’ offense to roll over the competition big time. As for the defense, we’ll just have to wait and see. Prediction? Of course, 12-4, AFC Title, Super Bowl winner. Wait, wait, wait—slow down. We’ll get back to predictions when camp breaks.
