• The Oakland Raiders come to town on Sunday still carrying the life-long chip on their shoulder for a little thing called the “Immaculate Reception.” Get over it boys!!!
• Trust me, this one’s going to get me stopped on the street, but I ain’t scared . . . sometimes the truth hurts! Ladies, hey ladies, if you’re gonna pull out of the parking space at whereverville, please know that someone is waiting to take it. This is not the time to do make-up, hair, cell phone or who knows what. Pull out and take it to the side . . . take it to the side! I’m just sayin!
• The Grand Lady of Donora . . . Ms. Almeda Pryor, will be honored at the 1st Annual Dinner and Benefit Concert Sunday, November 8, 2015 at 4:30 p.m. at the Willow Room, 800 Plaza Drive, Belle Vernon, PA 15012. The California University of PA Young and Gifted Gospel Choir will perform. See ya there! (What’s this got to do with sports you ask? Donora, PA is the home of champions, or don’t you remember Ken Griffey, Dean Dan Tyler, Malcolm Lomax, Dane Tart and Judge Reggie Walton, just to name a few!!!)
• Here is the first of what will surely be 20 more shout-outs for another one of the Valley’s finest, Brandon Simmons (The grandson of B.B. Flenory, the Valley’s greatest legend.) is the starting freshman d-back at Stanford University, one of the top academic institutions in the United States. To accomplish either of these is tough enough . . . but to do both, go to Stanford and start as a freshman . . . I don’t believe ya heard me.
• One more on the wall for Dwayne Woodruff. “The Judge” is being honored once again for his dedication and commitment to Family Court, saving lives and enhancing our community. Oh yeah . . . he’s also a Pittsburgh Steeler Super Bowl champion.
• Speaking of the immaculate reception, aka Franco Harris, ever wonder why Franco can walk without crutches? Because he knew when to get out of bounds. Le’Veon Bell and the others who “fight the power” . . . there will be a price to pay . . . just ask Gale Sayers and Earl Campbell. Live to fight another day fellas!!!
