:10—I’m not at the game. The game is in Buffalo. I’m not going to Buffalo. It’s cold and snowing in Buffalo. That Buffalo cold and snow is way different than this Pittsburgh cold and snow. Anyway, I’m at my spot and you’re on a need to know basis where that is. When I need ya to know, I’ll tell ya! But I am warm. Hoorah!
:09—Bitter with the sweet. Good and evil. Rough and tough. Joy and pain (That one’s Frankie Beverly…just makin’ sure you’re paying attention.) Call it what you want, but that’s what your Pittsburgh Steelers have to continue to get back to. They’re on the way and thanks in part to the return of James “Silverback” Harrison to the starting line-up. Enough of the platooning, let’s deliver that shock and awe!!!
:08—Speaking of delivering the pain, and I’m sure what I’m about to say has been said a thousand times over, or maybe not, but if I’m the Steeler offensive coach, I’d incorporate a weekly dose of Mike Webster, John Kolb, Larry Brown, Sam Davis, Moon Mullen and Randy Grossman into the daily Steelers diet. Hey, however they got four rings…let’s do that.
:07—Hats off to “Braddock Roy,” he who doubles as an “administrative aid” to the President of the “Know It All Club” Eddie Jefferies. He picked up my fumble and saved a possible turnover. Yes, I forgot to put Sweetness in last week’s top running backs of all time. So plant Walter Payton firmly in at #3 behind the great Jim Brown and Gayle Sayers and take out whoever you want. What can I say. I’ve had concussions!
:06—Speaking of the President, no, not Donald Trump, the real President, y’all keep askin’ me how Eddie’s doing when you see me in the streets. Hey!!!!! Get up off your “fat and nasty” and go see. You know you should have been there. Yes you do…yes you do…shut up, yes you do! (Call me if you want his number. I’ll clear it with “Braddock Roy”!)
:05—I told you McCutchen wasn’t going anywhere. I think the Pirate brass felt the public pressure. I mean the people can only take so much. Every now and then “you’ve got to give the people what they want.” (The O’Jays in case you forgot…and I know you did!)
:04—You continue to stay focused on your Steelers and what knucklehead move the Pirates might make that you’re not seeing “Sid the Kid” dominating hockey once again. You’re living in a very special sports town boys and girls. I hope you appreciate it.
:03—Oh, back to James Harrison. Wonder why he can do what he do at age 38? First man in the weight room, last man to leave and then there’s this . . .100 pound dumbbell curls. That’s one in each hand sparky!
:02—You all know I bleed blue and gold. Hey, I did work there. But alas, I can’t help but think it’s gonna be a tough run in the ACC. I know, it’s a nice thought to have Jamel Artis as your point guard, but…# 1 point guards have a “natural thing” about them. It’s not an everyday thing. #2 it does take away from what he does best. It just does, and #3 how does a major university not have an all-star point guard good to go! I’m just askin’!
:01—Saturday, Jan. 7 will be the 2nd Annual Western PA Humanitarian Awards honoring those who help change the world. “Heal the World…Make it a Better Place” is the theme. Achieving Greatness Inc. is looking for volunteers, sales reps and sponsors. Give me a call if you want to make some Christmas money. Also, still looking for people who want to join the Pittsburgh City League Hall of Fame Inductions Committee. Call 412-628-4856.
