NAJEE HARRIS RUSHES AGAINST THE JETS, OCT. 2. (PHOTO COURTESY PITTSBURGH STEELERS)
by Bill Neal, For New Pittsburgh Courier
:10—OK OK OK, for the first time…well, EVER!!… Kevin Cameron was right about a sports matter. But never mind, that’s all I am sayin’. And yes, I do have to buy him dinner.
:09—That being said, if you want to know what he was right about, tune in to “Soul Take/Champions Live” on Tuesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. We go global with the latest in the sports world. This week’s special guest is world-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht discussing the state of affairs with concussions via sports.
:08—C’mon, man… #1— How do the Steelers not know the ball’s coming over the middle, that’s the only place everybody throws on us. #2—I thought we drafted Devin Bush to cover the middle because he’s so quick? #3—If the ball hits your hands you’re supposed to catch it. So says the Lord of the reception, Jerry Rice.
:07—Anyone wanting to say your goodbyes to the late, great Mitch Trubisky can meet him at the Greyhound bus station as he gets outta Dodge. And please don’t start with the tears, you knew it was only a matter of time… Well, who said life was fair!?!
:06—Sorry, I don’t know what to tell ya about Chase Claypool. His falling star should be on the rise. How does a 5’8” cornerback intercept a pass coming into his 6’4” frame? That should never, ever happen. But the season is still young, we’ll give it time.
:05—That being said, and you may not believe this, but given the state of affairs, we’re only one game outta first place in our division. Hang in there, Martha, help’s on the way! Wait, what? Who?
:04—Barring an injury, Sidney Crosby should move into 15th place all-time on the NHL scoring leaders chart. Since the 1984-85 season we’ve had the incredible pleasure to see three of the top 15 scorers in NHL history, Sid, #2 all-time Jaromir Jagr and the incomparable Mario Lemieux, along with five Stanley Cup championships. As an avowed hockey purist I must say, pretty darn impressive, pretty darn impressive. That’s all I got.
:03—As you read this, the Pirates season is pretty much over. Thankfully.
:02—The astonishingly great Albert Pujols closed out his illustrious regular season career at PNC Park against our Bucs and on Monday, Oct. 3, hit his 703rd home run all-time. Although not really a Cardinals fan, at this last stage in his career wouldn’t it be really great to see Albert and the Cardinals win the World Series? I know it sounds a little Hollywood but that’s my rooting interest going into the start of the playoffs. Yeah, sue me.
:01—Before ya go, still looking for a female that can talk sports “Big Time” to co-host on our show. We’ll make ya a star, count on it!! Also, big-time party Saturday Night, “It’s Showtime at D & B’s” (that’s Dave & Buster’s to you), starring Sandy Green and Friends and featuring the Pittsburgh and Allegheny County Public Service Awards. Doors open at 6 p.m. Call 412-628-4856 for information.
:00:00 – Double OT—The five greatest quarterbacks all-time—#1.— Terry Bradshaw #2—Joe Montana #3.—Tom Brady (he cheated on at least 2, let’s be real) #4—Warren Moon #5—John Unitas. Got a problem with my list, call the show on Tuesday, 412-213-8995… or shut-up about it. GAME OVER.
