The NFL – What we learned from the early games

I find it absolutely hilarious that we know nothing about football. Oh, you would like an example? I’m so glad you asked. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the best performing quarterback in the NFL at this moment. Undrafted second year running back Matt Breida came into this weekend as the NFL’s leading rusher. Coach Gruden complained aboutContinue reading "The NFL – What we learned from the early games"

Antonio Brown should be pissed off and so should you…just not at him. 

Look…. We are all angry. The Pittsburgh Steelers should be Super Bowl contenders every single year, and that’s something we can all agree on. We know we shouldn’t have lost to the Browns, and although yesterday’s game was amazing compared to week one, no one is happy going two weeks without a win. It’s perfectlyContinue reading "Antonio Brown should be pissed off and so should you…just not at him. "

Football – the sports reality show we deserve.

Aaron Rodgers was carted off, but came back to save the season. The Raiders cut Martavis Bryant, and are preparing to resign him to a one year contract. Le'Veon spent the weekend in a Miami strip club, and you wish you would have been there too instead of watching that pathetic Steelers game. It wasn'tContinue reading "Football – the sports reality show we deserve."

Say “I Love You”, because you just never know.

(apologies for typos or sentences that don't make sense. It's been a day) In times of distress, we lean on what we know. As I sit here and write this, I'm watching Mac perform on NPR music’s tiny desk on the TV. If you don’t know, Tiny Desk is a concept where artists come intoContinue reading "Say “I Love You”, because you just never know."

It’s Back. And so is happiness.

I want to just start off by saying this....Congratulations. Congratulations to t you sir. And to you Madame. And to you Mom, because you traditionally are one of few people who read my writings. Congratulations to us all, because the NFL is back! The National Football League is here tomorrow, and as I sit hereContinue reading "It’s Back. And so is happiness."

World Cup Final – This Should be Good

Just like that, the worlds greatest sporting event has come and gone. (@ me if you don't believe me that it's the greatest) It’s amazing to think that 3.5 years ago, the only thing I could think about was the worlds best teams meeting in Russia to see who adds another lucrative star to theirContinue reading "World Cup Final – This Should be Good"

The Lakers Add a Seasoned Veteran in Free Agency

I would like to start this post off by saying I have trusted the Buss family and the LA Lakers front office with unwavering admiration up to this point, and the addition of LeBron James is just another positive step forward for a growing Lakers organization. For anyone who doesn’t have cell phone service, LeBronContinue reading "The Lakers Add a Seasoned Veteran in Free Agency"

Don’t Call it a Rivalry – by Josh Elsass

In sports, rivalries can bring a seemingly meaningless regular season game to a fever pitch. Steelers and Ravens, Penguins and Flyer, and for the Pirates well… In theory the Pittsburgh Pirates main rivals should be the Chicago Cubs, the two teams have played each other more times then any other two teams in MLB history!Continue reading "Don’t Call it a Rivalry – by Josh Elsass"

That’s how you should slide home?

I should probably just Google “Baseball” and see what comes up. O Cubs are in Pittsburgh, let’s watch the highlights. What did Rizzo do now? *Clicks Play*……okay so he basically just took out the pitcher he’s going to get fined. Wait,Continue reading "That’s how you should slide home?"

A retired goalie’s perspective – Loris Karius

Being a goalkeeper in a sport is the single hardest thing I have ever done with my life, despite the fact that I chose the position because it was “easier”. O, I don’t have to run and I can use my hands? Hell yeah, sign me up. I wasn’t aware of the mental stress andContinue reading "A retired goalie’s perspective – Loris Karius"
