• Were you as shocked as me this week when you were halfway paying attention to the news about another teenager being shot by the police and when you looked up you realized that they shot and killed a White teenager?! To quote social advocate Dick Gregory . . .”If they kill their own, you know they give less than a damn about us.”
• There’s only one thing that keeps the Pirates from beating the Cardinals and claiming the division . . . and that’s the Pirates! Costly errors, misplaying the ball in the outfield, and yes, bad coaching decisions with your pitchers all add up to one and two run losses to a team that I actually believe pound for pound we’re better than. Hold on tight, we still got 6½ weeks to go.
• Michael Jeffrey Jordan simply answered a question put to him at his basketball camp. Could he beat LeBron James in his prime? And he answered yes. No question. Absolutely. No – Doubt – About – It! #1 ~ What do you expect him to say? #2 ~ You know he would. I know he would and LeBron knows he would. #3 ~ Are you forgetting how bad M.J. was? No, I mean really. Are you forgetting the whole wide world stopped to see Michael play – – – are you forgetting they had to stop Bulls practice because he was going to kill his own teammates – – – are you forgetting he held Xavier McDaniels by the throat with one hand and threatened to take him out – – – are you forgetting this stuff . . . well, are ya punk????? (Client Eastwood, Dirty Harry. Try to keep up.)
• This will be a better Pitt football team than last year I promise you. They will lose games, but not due to lack of effort or fight. It will be because the other team is flat out better. New coaching staff, new energy and a new attitude.
• Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham is out for the season and former Super Bowl champion Garrett Hartley is in. Let’s go people. Move it along will ya. You see one kicker, you’ve seen ’em all. Just score more touchdowns than the other team that’s all.
• While we’re on the subject, of course I expected him to try to make the tackle. I would, you would and any competitor would. It’s in the blood and instinctive.
• At the very least you have to admit Tom Brady must believe he’s innocent of something. Who goes to court against the NFL and the NFL Commissioner if they have a shred of guilt in them.
• This is where the truth matters right? Well here’s some truth for ya. I would never vote for Donald Trump and I don’t think he can survive the blood bath when it gets really really serious, but I’ll tell you this . . . everything “The Donald” is sayin ain’t crazy! I’m just sayin!
