The AFL announced they will be adding a sixth member to all officiating crews, and will now have replay and challenge capabilities for all AFL games, not just the NFL Network game of the week. This is a huge step in the right direction for the league. Many fans, myself included, wondered why only one […]

Trying to sit here and sum up my thoughts about Joe Paterno isn't easy. My entire childhood and early adulthood, I saw much of my grandfather Edward in Paterno and vice versa. They were the same age and, in a strange twist of fate, both men died on the same January day nine years apart. […]

So let me get something straight. Khem Birch calls his former Pitt teammates "self-absorbed" but is upset that they didn't respect him because he was an "All-American?"

In 2010, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense (excluding special teams) came up with 31 takeaways of the football in the regular season. In 2011, through fifteen games, they have only 13. It looks even worse when you consider 4 of those 13 this year came from early Christmas gifts off the arm of former Pitt quarterback […]

Todd Graham is the luckiest man on Earth. Less than one year after realizing his dream of being the head coach at "one of the finest programs in the country" he has achieved another dream by becoming the head coach at Arizona State University. Please note the sarcasm. He promised the fans of Pittsburgh that […]
