:10—We swept the Mets…we swept the Mets…weeeeeee swept the Mets!!! That’s all you need to know.
:09—This goes out to all the pretenders. All the people who say they care, that they want to make a difference. That they’re sick and tired of seeing our kids suffer and have nothing to do. Yeah, right! And trust me this isn’t personal. It’s about people who suggest one thing and do another. It sickens me to no end and it continues to show why our kids do suffer. And since I have “The Power of the Pen” here goes. And I hope to God the message gets delivered to the deserving ears. For all those who said they were coming to the Armon Gilliam “Memorial” Hard Work Basketball Camp at the Penn Hills YMCA this weekend and blew it off…you should be ashamed of yourselves. Now don’t get it twisted. I am not talking about those who said from the gate that they couldn’t come. I can respect that. But those of you that made the commitment and backed out, you’re surely suffering from a serious case of memory loss. You’re forgetting how many people sacrificed for you, or that you came to my camp for free when you were a kid, or that my organization honored you at some point or another, or that someone is spending time helping your child to better opportunities…Armon Gilliam Would Be Greatly Disappointed in You!!! Not to worry “Hammer,” me and the skeleton crew of 12 coaches took care of the 87 kids in grand fashion.
:08—I said it before and I’ll say it again, winning breeds winning. As “The Emperor” Chuck Noll said, “If the preseason games weren’t important, they wouldn’t play ‘em.” Beat Jacksonville Mannn!
:07—This just in, Janet Jackson is coming. Yeah, I know (Big, big smile here.)
:06—The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team came to Pittsburgh to beat up on Costa Rica 8 – zip. Great job ladies. And by the way, MAKE – THAT – MONEY!
:05—Say what you want Tom Brady, aka “Tom Terrific” is going toe to toe with the NFL on “Deflate-Gate.” Hey, maybe the guy is innocent like he said.
:04—Here’s your Top 10. Shut up and take it like a man. Top Ten Major League Pitchers of All Time. #1 Nolan Ryan, #2 Sandy Koufax, #3 Bob Gibson, #4 Jim Palmer, #5 Tom Seaver, #6 Roger Clemons, #7 Randy Johnson, #8 Greg Maddox, #9 Pedro Martinez, #10 Steve Carlton. Think you can do better? Text me at 412-628-4856.
:03—Michael Sam is depressed and is leaving the CFL. The first openly gay pro football player is about to be a trivia question. Word to the wise, sign the contract, get paid, then announce you’re gay. I’m just sayin’!!!
:02—To that point, David Denson, a minor league player for the Brewers, announces he’s gay to become the first active player in baseball. Word to the wise!!!
:01—School starts next week. Let’s get ready to get ready. Make sure they’re safe. Drive carefully and support your high school football teams from a distance. Dad, your time has come and gone!
:00—Here’s to the great Dane Tart, quite possibly one of the greatest athletes out of Donora, Pa., the home of champions, for that matter, the entire Mon-Valley. A great time had by all at the Tart Family Reunion last week. Great to see all my old friends, Dane, Popeye, Rodney, Joyce, Homie, Charlie, Frankie, Valetia and the grand Mrs. Bee Lyons. God Bless you all.
