:06—So let’s turn it up a notch and get to the real deal. Let’s go greatest players of all time. Hoo-Ray!!! Here’s your selection after 700 plus votes: #1 Jim Brown—Nine seasons, never missed a game. The man all other running backs are measured by. #2 Joe Greene—At times 4 men had to stop him. #3 Jim Thorpe—Did ‘everything” on the field and was great at it. #4 Joe Montana—The quarterback all others are measured against. #5 Lawrence Taylor—Coaches had to plan their game around him. #6 Tom Brady – Clint Eastwood with a football in his hand instead of a magnum! #7 Walter Payton—The heart and soul of football. #8 Reggie White—You forget he was inhuman! A monster with a bible in his hand!!! #9 Johnny Unitas — “Johnny U” was everybody’s. #10 Dick Butkus —Greatness before L.T., Lambert, Ham, Ray Lewis, Singletary…need I say more?
:05—Pitt basketball in a nutshell. You lose to Duquesne after beating Maryland 73-59 and giving them their first loss. You lose to Notre Dame even though you had them beat. Then you drop 88 on Virginia who had the #1 defense in basketball, but you lose to Syracuse who you owned over the last seven games. It’s gonna be a roller coaster season.
:04—Forget everything else you know or think you know about the movies and go see “Fences.” It’s what movies are all about. Yep, 5 stars *****. Right up there with “The Godfather,” “Magnificent 7” (the original), “American Gangster,” and the “Outlaw Josey Wales.” That’s all you need to know.
:03—Oh, by the way, I saw that lady at Savoy again. You know the one that said I’m no journalist, but I read you every week. Well, she’s still reading. Must be doing something right.
:02—NOW TO YOUR STEELERS STUFF: a: Regarding Bradshaw’s comment about Tomlin not being a good coach. Big time sell-out! If he were in the mafia and spoke against the family like that, he’d be swimming with the fishes by now. b: This team is coming together at the right time. The injured are healed, Ben is on point and Bell and Brown are unstoppable. c: This one’s over. Kansas City here we come. Won’t be easy, but we are Super Bowl bound!!!
:01—Game Over…Oh, by the way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (I know, shut up!)
