Rolling out an intro for new followers and the old ones, too.
I’m Shawn. Pitt fan. I have three cats (T.J., Juice and Ginny), an irresponsible amount of video-gaming options, a Twitch channel that reaches almost 4 viewers per stream and a job at a newspaper that allows me to afford such things.

Four tries from one yard out? Maybe if I fall forward out of exhaustion on the third or fourth carry and somehow inch it past the line and get credited for the yard after a lengthy review.
From 10 yards out? Not a chance in this world or any other world that has American football.

If you had 4 tries to run for a first down in the NFL and you win $10 mil …. Would you be able to do it?? (You can choose your offensive line)

Chat. It’s not my strongest idea for Sunday football food, but a Hot Pockets pizza dish is definitely one of the more unique.

You know, I don't like it when opposing tight ends torch the pro team in Pittsburgh at Acrisure Stadium; what makes you think that I'm going to like it when it happens to the college team?

Why is there a country music award show seemingly every week that’s always billed as “country’s biggest night?”
We need more “country’s smallest nights,” maybe an infinite amount of them.

Trying to cash in this fit of creative inspiration to make progress on the book with a very loud supervisor.
Since I don’t speak feline, I’m not sure if she’s encouraging me or doing a one-cat Statler and Waldorf bit.

Six minutes until the first “sell the team” chant, at least on air, on Gameday.
Somehow that’s both early and far too late in my estimation.

So far, I’m going to venture that I might be the first author to …
• Pen a scene where a character gets into a passionate defense of the comic strip, Drabble
• Have a character try to find guitar tabs for “The Washington & Lee Swing.”

I need a volunteer to occasionally check in on me to see how the book I’ve been pawing at writing for the past 11 months is shaking out.

A chill just ran through the spine of my youngest cat, and she has no idea why, nor will she ever see this creation in her living space.

Altoona mentioned!
(Does anyone have an "Altoona mentioned" image with Altoona-style pizza, the character wearing a Curve cap, Mallo Cups and maybe an old shot of the distinctly orange Roaring River Mills building?)

A 21-7 sprint through August of 1991 has given the Griffey Project Pirates a solid lead on the NL East going into September. Clinching a second straight division flag shouldn’t take too long, right? Let’s find out.

Unwinding after a night at the office and Ginny – usually the most rambunctious cat in the after-dark hours – is being the softest and quietest one.
Is this a trap?
Am I sick and only she senses it?
Did she break something and I just haven’t noticed it?
Did she … miss me? Naw. Can’t be that.

It's clear that the presence of Tommy Pham: Fantasy Football Enforcer pushed Paul Skenes over the top this season.
You can't put a price on that kind of inspiration, but the Pirates only paid $4,025,000 for it. Who's laughing now?
(It's Pirates fans, but it's that laugh before a sobbing breakdown)

The trade deadline has passed us by, and an old friend is back in the clubhouse. Here’s hoping that he can help the Griffey Project Pirates get over the hump in 1991.

I woke up from a dream where I was back at my old place and explaining AI to my grandparents, who passed away in 2015 and 2021.
Not sure if the dream qualifies as a nightmare, but the chats sure felt stressful; especially with my grandfather, who never met a verbal attack to me that he didn’t like.

You know, if this was the old place about 12-13 years ago, someone would already have a “Jaylen’s Shirt” account with a screen cap of Jaylen Warren’s torn shirt as the avatar.
