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”

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.
