It’s been around since the start of the NCAA, this uneasy feeling that whatever we are watching that weekend, whomever that one athlete who tore his ACL and got kicked out of school, or whichever school had the latest scandal, shouldn’t these kids be paid some money? The answer most times is that, well “TheyContinueContinue reading “College Players Making Money”

Pittsburgh Needs to Stop Nutting.
As you may or may not know (if you don’t know, you have to pay attention more) I am the resident HUGE baseball fan on the Bench. I write the most blog posts about baseball, have struck out more than anyone else we got (gritty data) and I just live above the HOTO boys withContinueContinue reading “Pittsburgh Needs to Stop Nutting.”
The Pittsburgh Steelers are Legit, and I’m Not Even Being Biased.
I’m back, and if I learned one thing from Vegas it’s that you don’t need to go there to know what Vegas is all about…similar to the fact that the Steelers dont need Ben to win games. There’s a tie-in somewhere there, right? (I’m so tired still) The Pittsburgh Steelers did it guys. We finallyContinueContinue reading “The Pittsburgh Steelers are Legit, and I’m Not Even Being Biased.”
Fitzmagic Is Here, and I Love It
On my life, since the draft the only thing i could say about the Steelers trading up to the 10th pick was “But…the Steelers NEVER do this?!” I couldn’t imagine the Pittsburgh Steelers trading assets to acquire a player the fans wanted. Preposturious! Well guys…..I’m so happy to say…it’s happened again. Welcome, Minkah Fitzpatrick! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl828xrQNqUContinueContinue reading “Fitzmagic Is Here, and I Love It”
Where Do We Go From Here
As if the anxiety of a failing season couldn’t destroy this beautiful monday anymore, Pittsburgh Steeler’s fans find themselves mixed with emotion this morning. Ben Roethlisberger, the long time starting Qb for the Steelers is out for the rest of the year with an elbow injury that requires surgery. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1173625114623188992?s=20 To the loudest group ofContinueContinue reading “Where Do We Go From Here”
TFTB Fantasy Start-Sits for Week 2
It’s week 2 of the fantasy season (and I suppose the NFL season also) and we, as I mentioned, finally have a brand new template for our Start Sit! Shoutout to Tyler Faulk for his awesome work on these by the way, I’m in love. I am not the end all be all in fantasyContinueContinue reading “TFTB Fantasy Start-Sits for Week 2”
The NFL Has Peaked
If I can ask one thing of the NFL, it would be to not have a double header of Monday Night Football again. If I get a second question to ask, can every Monday night football be the Saints vs. the Texans? Those are too outlandish of requests, right? Last night was peak NFL. JustContinueContinue reading “The NFL Has Peaked”
What we Know – Week 1
I hate football. I love football, but more importantly I hate it. I feel like no matter the amount of time you put into knowing any aspect of this sport it can all just come crumbling down so easily because of one little detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d_2CwBjSQw I like to follow the Dan Lebatard method of footballContinueContinue reading “What we Know – Week 1”
AB Has Been Released
WHAT IS GOING ON. Antonio Brown has just willed himself to be released, a move that is just so unbelievable….unbelievable. AB got traded to the Raiders for a 3rd and a 5th, a move so many idiots said was just a terrible trade for the Steelers. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1170365894373105664?s=20 This is by far the wildest sports storyContinueContinue reading “AB Has Been Released”
Congratulations To Us All…We Made It
TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT. I literally haven’t been this excited since…well the beginning of last year. The NFL season is back and I finally feel justified for the countless hours of staring at Fantasy Football rankings. I’m just happy footballs back as a whole, but College Football isn’t quite the emotional rollercoaster that I callContinueContinue reading “Congratulations To Us All…We Made It”
