The Super Bowl is not only the most-watched television event of the year, it’s also the most detailed in camera work. The hosting network will feature hundreds of cameras from various angles and from unprecedented locations, to give the fans a totally immersible experience. And they’ve even got one set of cameras based on something that…

How a Pittsburgh Steelers fan survives the 2023 NFL season
Anyone who reads this blog for more than ten posts knows I am a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Six Super Bowl championships, a lineup of Hall of Famers, and … Well, the 2023 season has been quite a ride. Our 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…
Read More“The kick is up … and it’s … CLANG…”
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…
Read MoreThe Tubi commercial that showed a red flag.
It was a simple 15-second commercial for Tubi, the free ad-supported streaming service. That’s all it was. And it was actually a pretty sneaky commercial – for about a second, until you realize, oh wait, it’s just a commercial, ha ha, got me good, April Fool’s in February. Here’s the commercial. Now to put the…
Read MoreI’ll take a 9-8. And trade Trubisky.
Well, Steelers fans, we did all we could. The Steelers slapped the Cleveland Browns 28-14, finishing the season at 9-8 and giving Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin his 16th consecutive season of a .500 record or better. No other head coach has ever achieved such a start to their career, and only three other head…
Read MoreCall it a tie and make a donation, NFL. For Damar Hamlin’s sake.
As a Steelers fan, it’s not in my nature to watch a Buffalo Bills – Cincinnati Bengals Monday Night Football game. But this morning, I heard the horrifying news. Damar Hamlin, a safety for the Buffalo Bills who was getting plenty of starts and playing time in relief of the injured Micah Hyde, tackled Cincinnati’s…
