:10—Big Time Reminder/Request—As the high school playoffs for football begin next week, please don’t forget you’re – not – playing…you’re – not – coaching…and no – matter – how – loud – you – holler – the – refs – can’t – hear – you!!! Yes, be supportive. Get excited and have as much fun as possible, but be civil and be careful!
:09—My record will tell you that I had the Steelers winning 31-28, but I can’t lie. Neither I, nor anyone else on the planet had the Steelers blowing up the Colts like this. What’s done is done. Now the test comes to town next week in the form of the Baltimore Ravens. There will be no trickin’ or treatin’, but I can promise you heads will roll! This is an early one for all the money. I’ll be in my spot…don’t ask!
:08—Ya’ll know how I’m always getting on the fellas to pull the pants up, be respectful…yadda, yadda, yadda. Well, how ‘bout we get a message to some of “the young ladies” by way of some of you older women…ladies, pull your pants up, stop wearing pajamas outside, stop cussing like a sailor, stop spitting…yeah, I said it. Stop spitting. And for God’s sake, please take the rags off your head. I’m just sayin’!
:07—As you know, we proclaimed Sir Eddie Jefferies the president of the “Know It All Club.” A seat for life. Well, I now hereby identify Vince Neal (no relation) as “The Teacher” here now and forevermore. When you see him, address him as such. By way of “The Teacher” comes this valuable info on Slippery Rock University. Valuable because it’s the Rock, that’s why. And in case you didn’t know when I went there in 1970, it was only called The Rock State College. I made it Slippery! Be careful now! Anyway, in 1979 a marketing genius by the name of Don Canham set up a game between Slippery Rock and Shippensburg State College at Michigan Stadium when the Wolverines were on the road and the game drew 61,143 fans. People were just consumed with the name Slippery Rock. As a matter of fact, in the late 60’s and early 70’s, the Rock was the 2nd most sold football shirt in the country behind the Dallas Cowboys. Now run tell that to the Cal State chumps, oops, I mean grads.
:06—Back to Steelers talk. In case you didn’t know, the Steelers will retire their first ever jersey at the Raven’s game next week. Of course it will be “Mean Joe Greene.” Franco Harris, Mel Blount and Jack Lambert to soon follow.
:05—Here’s your health tip for the week. Stop the pop and all products white and see what happens. Hey, I’m down 18 pounds and working on “50.” Get with me!
:04—I’m not blaming anybody and I ain’t mad at anybody, but really, they can’t find this guy in the mountains? He’s like “Rambo 10.” C’mon man!
:03—Achieving Greatness Inc. is approaching final planning stages.
