Overtime 8-12-15…Bettis should have been in on 1st ballot

:07—Of course I am going to talk about Jerome Bettis going in the Hall of Fame, but to tell you the truth, I’m still pretty upset about this taking so long. Say what you say! Bettis should have been in the Hall of Fame on his first ballot. How can anyone in their right mind think otherwise. The 6th leading rusher in NFL history, a Super Bowl ring, six time Pro-Bowl and the ultimate community man. Yes I’m glad he’s in, but he should have been in. C’mon NFL committee. Roll on “Bus” roll on. Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go!

:06—Ms. Sydney Seau stole the show in Canton and rightly so. No better tribute could be given from a daughter to her father.

:05—Real quick cause Ulish Carter is counting my words (I’ll tell you later.) Mission Impossible 3 basketballs. Fantastic Four 3 basketballs. Jurassic World 4 basketballs. Summer movie time’s a little slow, but don’t worry “NWA” STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON is coming.

:04—Oh by the way, that Jessie James dude that dropped one that could have been a touchdown and the other one that got intercepted, well, let’s put it this way, “SEE YA, WOULDN’T WANT TO BE YA!”

:03—So you know how “You People” are always talking about how there’s nothing for your kids to do, there’s nowhere for your kids to go, there’s no good programs for your kids to participate in “ya-da, ya-da. ya-da”. Oh, just shut up already! I’ve been telling ya for three weeks now about the Armon Gilliam Memorial “Hard Work” Basketball Camp and some of  “You Parents” aren’t calling in to sign your brats up. Here’s your last call. No, not that last call, you ain’t at Nat’s. This is your last call to sign them up for the time of their lives. Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 15 and 16 – Penn Hills YMCA – coaches report at 8 a.m., registration at 8:30 a.m., camp starts at 9 a.m. sharp, camp ends at 4 p.m. double sharp, parent or guardian must register child – no exceptions. $25 for both days includes lunch, t-shirt, certificate, complete and total supervision, skills & drills, and     plenty of games. Call (412) 628-4856. Only 100 spots available. And remember this, it’s called “The Hard Work Camp” for a reason. BRING ME CHAMPIONS!!!

:02—If you don’t know Armon “The Hammer” Gilliam you should! Google him and learn of the greatness we’ll never forget. Out of Bethel Park H.S., a wrestler to start, by way of a J.C., a stop at the Connie Hawkins League in East Hills, onto UNLV and the No. 2 player drafted in the NBA and 14 great years later an NBA legend. Now you know, but Google more!

:01—Mark your calendars for the 2nd Annual City League Hall of Fame inductions Saturday,     Oct. 17, 6 p.m., at the Wyndham Hotel.
