:10—PYRO – TECH – NICS…a super fancy word for fireworks which is a fancy word for firecrackers…as we know it. Whatever you call it, don’t do it before the game. C’mon Man!
:09—“Le’Veon Bell” clearly hasn’t missed a step. A supremely conditioned athlete to be sure, with a great skill set…of course some “good weed” doesn’t hurt either! OK, OK, once again I’m the bad guy. You know you were thinking it too.
:08—Yeah, I’m at my spot…no, not that spot…no, not that spot either. Oh please, stop. You know if I tell ya, I’d have to kill ya! Anyway, from where I sit, the questions about the Steelers defense seem to be answered. They treated the Rams like they tried to set ‘em on fire…oh wait, they did try to set ‘em on fire! (For you Oliver grads, please see #10.)
:07—Speaking of Oliver, and I just was if you’re paying attention. And that was no accident…if anyone sees Ray Zellers, the former great running back by way of Oliver…by way of Notre Dame…by way of the New Orleans Saints…please ask him to call me so we can have him as a special guest at the Pittsburgh City League Hall of Fame Inductions on Saturday, Oct. 17, and tell him we still have his award from last year. Thank ya! 412-628-4856.
:06—OK, this just in! Ben is down…Ben is down…Ben is down!!! But not to worry Steelers faithful, Michael Vick to the rescue. Who you say? Oh, c’mon, you remember Vick, the guy you tried to run out of town for dog fighting that happened forever ago. HEY – PITTSBURGH – HOW – YA – LIKE – ME – NOW???
:05—Congrats to Penn Hills and Pitt native Aaron Donald in his homeboy game against the Steelers. Although he only had one sack, his presence was felt all day.
:04—While you’re filling out your score card, be reminded of the brilliance of Francisco Liariano, striking out nine of the bothersome Cubs en route to is 12th win.
:03—You heard it here loud and clear, the Pirates will catch St. Louis and win the Division outright. I know you haven’t been there in a while, but that boys and girls You- Can-Take-To-The-Bank!
:02—Big Ben was on record to break Bradshaw’s win record, but the knee injury will delay that. My guess is the big fella will be back in four weeks, but the inside word is it could be 8-10.
:01—I know I was last to the dance, but I just saw “Straight Outta Compton.” FAN – TAS – TIC! Ice Cube’s son, great job, as were all the actors. I give it 4 basketballs . 4 out of 5 not bad, not bad at all.
