Can’t remember what my Twitter bio said. Something about being a career #SportsBiz guy and I like caffeine. Pittsburgh Sports. WVU football hasn’t killed me yet. Leicester City hasn’t either. Hope this is better than Twitter.

On this 13th day of the 9th Month in 2025, I’m just going to park this right here. Just something to remember the day by.

Big OT WVU win over Pitt, despite RichRod trying to throw this game away like he was being rehired at Michigan.

For all the bad jokes and memes! #HailWV #BackyardBrawl

So THAT’S why that’s there?

Still seems odd that the track isn’t there anymore. The remaining footprint is a reminder of it still even if it’s a lake now.

Sand was excavated and staged in the center of parking. Over many years, this sand was used for the widening of Floridian Way. The road in foreground.

The Minnesota Wild putting their 25th Anniversary patch on the elbow because we have to have ad sponsors on jerseys is so dumb.

Sooooo dumb!

He’s right. They need an on a on-campus stadium.

Pitt Stadium should have been preserved and upgraded.

All those years at Three Rivers and AstroTurf, they finally get grass and it’s been the worst grass surface in pro sports.

I had to listen to the audio to confirm it, but yes, as troops are being deployed to American cities, as masked goons are disappearing citizens from our streets, as ICE agents are shooting pepper balls at priests ...

At the end of the day … any facility that’s considered to be a “library” with his name above the door is the funniest and most ironic shit ever.

Just a heads up for anybody that wants to travel to Memphis, move to Memphis, or do business in Memphis … you’ll be occupied.

Wanna help Memphis? Call Graceland & tell them you’re not traveling to Memphis now because of this. Call large local companies. Lean on them.

That buzz will permeate there!

What a shame that this new PGH terminal opens under all this chaos of a government shutdown and failing tariff economy from this administration.

Unfortunate!

This project will connect us, employ us, and strengthen Pittsburgh as a leader in innovation & industry. I'm grateful to the workers who made this happen and continue to keep our airport up and running.

The ghost of Bud Adams lives on through those running there franchise into the ground.

It’s not Cam’s fault they placed him in a really bad situation. They put all kinda pressure on him. From the marketing blitz to handing him Warren Moon’s retired number. It’s been a disaster.
