:07—So my man Myron Brown…you know Myron, Slippery Rock University Hall of Fame super star and former NBA Timberwolf…Oh, you can’t remember. How bout this, ya remember when he dunked on about 27 people at one time from half court down at the Connie Hawkins at Pennley Park…aka Champions Park…Oh, now you remember cause you were one of the 27. Anyway, Myron says Ben Roethlisberger is a good quarterback, but overrated and there are at least eight other QB’s in the league he would take over Big Ben to which he offered Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton and Drew Brees to name a few. I and others at the table put him at a solid top five. What say you? Text me at 412-628-4856 so we can silence “The Great Leaper.”
:06—Who were the others you ask? Well, I’ll tell ya, but if you tell anybody else, I’ll have to kill you. This was “Boy’s Night Out 2016” and its top secret stuff. I mean if this got out, it could cause some cats severe body damage and/or a considerable hit to the wallet. The boys in question put it down at The Savoy this year and the roll call went like this…Chuck Sanders, Dwayne Woodruff, Myron Brown, Dom Gambino, Dwight Law, and new to the crew, Mike “The Train” Hardy, another Slippery Rock legend. and some dude from Phill. Micah Sims I know, but we had to let him in. He had hoop game and he came with Woodruff. The important thing to know is we only discussed politics and religion. And we never went upstairs (you know!!!) and we were all home by eight. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
:05—Ok, you’ve been waiting for it, so here it is. We did the top ten running backs and quarterbacks of all time. Now it’s time for best receivers ever. Here’s the pretty boys, the show time cats: #1 Jerry Rice, #2 John Stallworth, #3 Randy Moss, #4 Lynn Swann, #5 Michael “The Playmaker” Irvin, #6 Terrell Owens, #7 Steve Largent, #8 James Lofton, #9 Marvin Harrison, and #10 Tim Brown. Now put up or shut up. You know the drill. Text your list to 412-628-4856.
:04—Clear to me the Pitt men’s basketball team is putting it together slowly, but surely. But they haven’t gone to the shed yet. Sit tight nephew. The ACC is coming.
:03—What can I tell ya. That Santa dude is a “Bad Man.” He got it down again and right on time. The Big Fella joined with Achieving Greatness and East Liberty McDonald’s to present the 42nd Annual “Toys for Champions Christmas Party and Toy Giveaway.” More than 500 deserving disadvantaged boys and girls were treated to the toys of their dreams and McDonald goodies. A big holiday thanks to “Brother Ish” and George at McDonald’s, as well as their amazing staff, all volunteers, Santa helpers, and the joyful sponsors…Highmark, Judge Dwayne Woodruff, James McDonald, Jack Goodrich, UPMC, District Attorney’s Office, Bill Goodrich, Chief Executive Office Allegheny County, Dom Gambino, and Ole Santa himself, aka Will Anderson!
:02—It’s closer than you think.
