For the record. I lasted a month under that manager before something else fortunately opened up and I was allowed to do the news how it should be done.

This isn't a shock. The mountain company has been moving this way for a while now. Naming way too young managers in local newsrooms who peddle sensationalism instead of solid stories.

"You're too New York Times, you need to be more like the Post" is something I was told more than once.

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

I had three thoughts on the turf conditions:

1. "Wow, it's not even WPIAL championship weekend."
2. "Why doesn't grass grow in that stadium?"
3. "How will they manage to blame Pitt and/or high school football?"

I had my doubts. But I think this kid could be a solid option at QB.

Mason Heintschel second half:

- 9-13 197 yards 1 TD

- 50 rushing yards

- Led Pitt on scoring drives on four of five possessions before kneeling it out.

- Guided Pitt to first ACC road win when trailing at half since Wake Forest in 2018

He dove, blocked the punt and missed the punter. That's impressive

Hell yeah timely block

Well the Heintschel experiment was fun.

Back to the existential dread.

Also...ESPN... Ethan Pritchard being shot isn't "simply a case of mistaken identity"

Simply a case of mistaken identity is waving at the wrong person at the store.

A man was SHOT. He was not the target. There is still someone out there who shot another person not caring who it was.
