:10—I am starting this week with “C’mon man”… “Are you kidding me”…and the classic, “You’re killing me Petey!!!” Paul Skenes, the Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitching sensation is singlehandedly putting the Bucs on his back! And I’m sure you saw Skenes start the All-Star Game on July 16 for the National League. Faced four batters, including Aaron Judge, who grounded out. No hits, no runs.
:09—Don’t look now boys and girls, but you can go ahead and dust off your Terrible Towels. YOUR PITTSBURGH STEELERS ARE HEADED TO TRAINING CAMP! TRAINING CAMP STARTED ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 24! HOO-RAH!
:08—For the record, I’ll tell ya right now, your Pittsburgh Steelers will win 11 games this year and make the playoffs going through the front door…not the back door.
:07—Speaking of schedules…and I kinda was…How bout this for the Steelers’ final four games….Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals! I am just sayin’!
:06—Mannnnn…this is gonna kill my main cat, Zik. Ya’ll know Zik, the Connie Hawkins League Hall of Fame player and coach, who on occasion thinks he knows more about basketball than me. (I know, I know…but what can I do?) I told him a month ago all the powers that be made a huge mistake not putting Caitlin Clark on the Olympic team for all the obvious reasons. Ticket sales, T-shirts, ads, etc, etc., etc. Well guess what, boys and girls. It’s about to happen cause someone on the team who is already set to play is going to come down with an injury (I’m not naming names just yet)…and that you can take to the bank! Get ready to buy that hoagie, Zik.
:05—I don’t know about you folks, but I’ll tell ya about me. When Simone Biles takes off, it just makes me feel good all over.
:04—Speaking of “stuck on stupid,” you actually want me to believe that Boston Celtic Mr. Everything Jaylen Brown should not be on the USA Olympic team…man, please!!!
:03—DO-NOT-GET-ME-WRONG-ON-THIS, but the spectacular player of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Anthony “Ant Man” Edwards, is said to be the second-coming of Michael Jordan…and not by his choosing, I might add. But he has a bunch of second-comings to have before he gets there. C’mon man, or maybe you need to revisit the documentary, “The Last Dance”?
:02—BTW, Achieving Greatness Inc., Safe Summer Programs are in full gear. Going on fun trips to the zoo, Kennywood Park, Pirates games and horseback riding. Anyone between ages 10-15 are welcome to go for free. Just call the AGI office, Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to register. First call, first go!
:01—In the famous words of the late, great Brother Malcolm X…“The chickens have come home to roost!”…you figure it out!!
:00—GAME OVER!
