Former Jeannette and Ohio State standout QB Terrelle Pryor will finally get his shot in the NFL, signing a 4-year, $2.7 million deal with the Oakland Raiders. But don't get too excited. He won't be playing in any regular season games just yet, as he must serve a five-game suspension handed down by Commissioner Roger […]

It was announced, today, that the Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed their playmaking inside linebacker, Lawrence Timmons, to a six year $50 million contract extension. This coming just two short weeks after outside linebacker Lamarr Woodley signed a six year $61.5 million contract. Timmons and Woodley were drafted in the first and second rounds, respectively, by the […]

When the Pirates elected to take Gerrit Cole in the first round of this year's draft, much of Pittsburgh, including myself, seemed skeptical of the pick. One reason was that the Pirates had already loaded up on right-handed pitchers last year. They selected Jameson Taillon, a prep player from Texas who had the size, strength […]

Growing up near Philadelphia, I would get an obnoxious earful from the locals about how this year is going to be different just about every season. You just watch, they'd say. I was berated every Monday for wearing my #83 Heath Miller jersey with black and gold knee socks paired with some awesome tie-dye Steeler […]

Bob Nutting haters. Go ahead. Call me an apologist for a front office that is commanding the worst run franchise in the last two decades. I constantly state that the Pirates care about winning and that they see a playoff run in the near future. Call me delusional for saying Bob Nutting is not trying […]

It sounds blasphemous to call the 2011 season anything but a major improvement upon the franchise's last two decades of embarrassment. But I just do not see how this team has gotten better and shown that the future will reap benefits of October baseball in Pittsburgh. Has there been more excitement in this season than […]

Surprise, surprise, like most people expected the Pirates went into Milwaukee for a three game series and came out with no wins…again. The Bucs just can't beat the team they wish they were. No hitting again, Chuck Morton and the bullpen did all they could but the Pirates just can't score any runs at all […]
