:10—The hardest losses to take are the ones you should have won! Pitt should have beat Iowa. Matter of fact, they did beat them…in the first half. But you gotta play that second half and Pitt didn’t show up for that part. There’s a lot that can be said about the loss and I’m sure there will be. No sacks. No pressure on the QB. Predictable offense and horrible D-Back coverage. But the good news is this. They’re 3-1 and they’ve got the #1 rusher in the nation in James Conner. And a side note for ya — I met “Mr. Conner” at the Fed-Ex office in Oakland and trust me when I tell ya, he’s the beast you see on the screen. Every bit of 6’2” and 250 lbs.
:09—Don’t lie. You had them written off after the death march last week in Baltimore, but last night your Pittsburgh Steelers bounced back to show the nation they are in fact the 11 and 5 playoff team I said they would be.
:08—Speaking of the Steelers, and I was, all you Coach Tomlin haters, be you Black or White (Yeah, there are some of both) put the bus ticket back in your hip pocket. He ain’t going no-where!!!
:07—Prediction…Ike Taylor is old school at heart. He’ll be back with a hard cast on his broken forearm in four weeks. Take it to the bank!
:06—I told you what you already knew. If you want playoff action, you gotta have a drop dead closer. Guess what? We got one. No, not Tony Watson. He’s good, but no not him. The Pirates went barn storming and found a 6’9”, 97 mph flame thrower named John Holdzkom and he’s the real deal and he brings real heat. My question is can he hoop? I’m just askin.’ You know where my heart is.
:05—I can tell you this, the Pens start the exhibition season today and they unleashed the killer black and gold shirt.
:04—The Pirates win. The Pirates win. TTTHHHEEE Pirates win.
:03—You can now add Florida State Heisman Trophy winner Jameis to the “All Stupid List”…Yeah, I know. I just started it. O.J., Saddam Hussein, General Custer, Ray Rice, Muammar Gaddafi, “Sugar Ray” Richardson and anybody else that had it “made in the shade,” but just too stupid to realize it. You better clean up and grow up your act son. Your back-up Sean McGuire ain’t gonna be nervous the next time.
:02—Here’s to my number one fan and No. 1 “In the Locker Room.” Joy Woodruff. The Judge’s judge. I wish everyone read “Overtime” like you do!
:01—At the Buzzer—“In the Locker Room” straight outta the Penn Hills Giant Eagle on Rodi Road. Miss Eboney. Say hi when you pass through. She’s the one with the magnificent hair.
:00—DOUBLE OVERTIME
