A tag team with R. Truth vs. Judgment Day where Truth needs a partner, stumbles onto Punk & just no-sells him being gone for almost a decade and everything that happened in between. I’m dead serious.
Crowd would lose it & Punk probably breaks character at some point. Win-Win.
The best story about Dan Rooney I’ve ever heard was from
@Ike_SwagginU
: Ike told us he fell asleep in Mr. Rooney’s office and Mr. Rooney came back in, saw Ike sleeping & put a blanket on him. The kind of bond they had is so rare but so powerful.

Just found out I lost a childhood friend to cancer. He was 36 years old with a wife & I’m just crushed for his family.
Seriously, people. Life is too short. Stop it with the foolishness & just be better to each other.
If you’re blaming a defense that kept this team in the game for 3 1/2 quarters & NOT the offense that scraped together one field goal in the 2nd half after scoring 20 points in the 1st half, then I’m sorry but you can’t be helped. This game just ain’t your thing.
Tonight didn’t go so great as far as the game, but my 9 month old son gave me a high five for the first time tonight. That’s a win for me. Always take time to enjoy the small victories.
I feel gutted right now to hear my friend & podcast partner
@jrollisonpgh
is gone. I always felt he & I were on this journey together in our careers. I had hours upon hours of baseball talk with a great man who became my friend. I will always treasure my time with him.

Very sad to hear about the loss of Tunch Ilkin. Pittsburgh has lost one of its greatest citizens, a man of tremendous faith & character who lived to serve others. It’s an honor to have met & known such a great man.
#RIPTunch
Great route by Diontae, but shout out to the vet leadership showed by Cam Heyward here in a critical moment.
Diontae and Geno Stone get into a little scuffle and Heyward pulls Johnson off before anything else can transpire.
The Duquesne family & our fraternity of young Pittsburgh sports announcers & journalists has lost our elder statesman.
@SteelCityVoice
was not only one of the best public address announcers you’ll find, but also an exemplary husband, father & friend. Rest well, Dom. ❤️💙🎩
GRINDERS: wanted to give y’all a heads up. I’m taking tomorrow morning off for an important family situation. Everything is fine, no problems or anything, but any prayers, thoughts or good vibes you guys can send are greatly appreciated.

next week!
My prayers tonight are with all my friends & colleagues in Pittsburgh who worked with, befriended or got to know Stan Savran. He was one of the giants in our market & exemplified the love of this city and its teams. We loved the show. We love Guy. And we’ll always love you, Stan.
First career save for Nick Burdi. This is one of those things I wish my friend
@jrollisonpgh
could’ve been here to see. He was the original Nick Burdi guy & he would’ve loved this. 🖤💛
Two years ago the Pittsburgh baseball community lost its gentle giant; a man who opened doors for so many & was one of the leading voices in a growing generation of writers. My admiration & appreciation for this man will never wane. We miss you, Jason. Thank you. 🖤💛⚾️
Just awful to hear the reports about Dwayne Haskins. Another reminder that life is bigger than the game & we mustn’t take it for granted. Love, light & comfort to his family, friends & teammates.
@soledadobrien
I really need people who aren’t me, don’t look like me or have never set foot in my community to stop telling me what my community thinks. They wouldn’t buy a bottle of water there on the hottest day of the year, but they know what we’re thinking all of a sudden?
This weekend a big opportunity arises: calling play-by-play for my first NCAA men’s basketball game! Duquesne vs. William & Mary on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 10 at 5:00. You can watch the…
I keep asking myself one question: when is the last time you saw a guy go from hitting someone on the ice to literally sitting on the wall in front of his own bench because he left his skates that high to complete the hit? I haven't come up with an answer yet.
Today has been trying in ways I can’t describe. Before even hearing the news about Kobe Bryant we learned this morning that we lost a close family friend. If I’ve been reminded of anything today it’s that tomorrow is not promised.

Cutch on keeping his home in Pittsburgh: "Me & my wife made the decision when we got married that this will be our home. We love our house. Nothing will change that."
During the 2013 season at Kentucky, Avery Williamson led the team with 102 tackles & was named 2nd Team All-SEC. The player who was 2nd on the team in tackles that season (61) also finished 6th in the conference in sacks (7).
That teammate’s name? Bud Dupree.
Much needed shoutout to

Shoutout to the guys making those late night trips to the kitchen to crush like half a dozen Christmas cookies...
And by guys, I mean guy...
And by guy, I mean me...
It was me.
I ate the cookies.
Whatever. They were good, so shut up. 😒
My stance hasn’t changed. If I’m the Steelers I’m out to score 40 every game. Run up the score & then celebrate after every hit & TD like “The U” back in the day.
Go full heel turn on the whole league & when they ask why, tell them it’s their own fault.
A year ago today she officially became Mrs. JT. And through my crazy schedule and the consequent madness of my life she still keeps me around. God bless her.

Gotta love what Alex Highsmith is doing with this opportunity to get full-time reps. Making plays in the pass rush and the run game in the 1st half. Just continues to grow & improve.
I know he was busy at the ballpark today, but Happy Birthday to

If this isn’t my son 7 or 8 Christmases from now, I have failed as a father. I want my kid to love baseball as much as I do that he’ll go just as crazy over a bat.
Woke up this morning with both of my babies sleeping in the same room with us. It was the perfect reminder of just how blessed beyond measure I truly am. They are my reason for being. It humbles me to understand that I was born to be their Dad. Happy Father’s Day to one & all.

I’m only a few months older than Ben Roethlisberger. He’s been the Steelers quarterback my entire adult life & career. I’m just a guy who was lucky enough to be around to tell the story. And the Old Cowboy leaves his ranch with a win. If this is indeed it, then Godspeed, no. 7.
They took points off the board twice in that drive. Once with a bad penalty call. And then once with this non-call.
I’m not an expert lip-reader, but I’m about 95% certain Mike Tomlin was caught on camera asking an official “WTF is wrong with y’all today?” And I wanna know too.
The radio & TV paychecks both say otherwise, my guy. So do the book projects & speaking engagements & fundraisers & fashion shows & stuff nobody will ever know your name for. But do you, Boo-Boo. 😘
