As a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I’ve followed the Black and Gold through many seasons of ups and downs. And there are teams the Steelers play for whom I have great disdain. New England, for one. Denver brings up a bad memory of the only decent touchdown pass Tim Tebow ever threw in his life. Jacksonville…

Chris Boswell 18, Atlanta Falcons 10.
I am a true fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, going all the way back to the Immaculate Reception game of the 1970’s. I’ve followed them through eight Super Bowl games and six championships; I’ve cheered at the highs and grumbled at the lows. I’ve called out the good days and I’ve made my point clear…
Read MorePittsburgh Steelers break tradition, bring in star quarterback from outside the organization
Let me start off by saying that I’ve been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan for as long as I’ve been alive. My support goes all the way back to the days of th Immaculate Reception, through four Super Bowls in the 1970’s, two more Super Bowls a decade ago, James Harrison running a 100-yard Pick 6…
Read MoreSo you’re telling me they’ve got lots of cameras for Sunday’s game?
The Super Bowl is not only the most-watched television event of the year, it’s also the most detailed in camera work.โThe hosting network will feature hundreds of cameras from various angles and from unprecedented locations, to give the fans a totally immersible experience.โ And they’ve even got one set of cameras based on something that…

Anyone who reads this blog for more than ten posts knows I am a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan.โSix Super Bowl championships, a lineup of Hall of Famers, and … Well, the 2023 season has been quite a ride.โOur QB1, Kenny Pickett, hasn’t exactly been the second coming of Terry Bradshaw, and is currently rehabbing a…
Read MoreIs it “is” or is it “in” in it?
As a Pittsburgh Steelers fan in New York, it’s often a guessing game as to whether I’ll see the Black and Gold on my TV screen or if I’ll have to do a hybrid watch/listen combination to follow my favorite football team. In other words, if the Steelers play on one of the prime time…

NFL kickers have the deck stacked against them. They only enter the field of play when it’s necessary to kick an extra point, or to attempt a field goal. They kick the field goal, tap helmets with their teammates, and return to the sidelines. If they score a field goal or an extra point, they’re…
Read MoreMic Tyson and Annie Agar – my new favorite NFL commentators
A few weeks ago, I blogged about the Montgomery, Alabama riverboat brawl, and shared several video clips and commentary from online sources. One of those sources is a Las Vegas-based voice talent who operates under the name Mic Tyson. After I followed him on social media, I discovered that Mic Tyson is a big fan…
Read MoreThere is no “R” in “Pickett.”
At one point in time, I dabbled in the sports card collectors market. Of course, this was back in the early 1970’s, where a deal meant that you traded a Tony Oliva, a Vida Blue and a Kurt Bevacqua to get a ’74 Topps Hank Aaron #1 card. I say that because there is a…
Read MoreColin Cowherd is a flaming jackass. Film at 11.
First off. I have no use for Colin Cowherd. The man is a flaming jackass, just like this blog post’s headline says. He’s the kind of blowhard who says things to get attention and generate clicks. And recently, he not only reached a new low as a sports commentator … he found a jackhammer and…
