This Friday at the Omni William Penn Hotel is the Jimmy Krenn roast of Merril Hoge for charity. I was asked by Merril to say a few words and of course, most humbly accepted.
Merril is a great guy that I truly respect. He’s overcome health issues both in and out of the game. As [...]

Hopefully the transition into the draft and OTA’s signifies a change for the Steelers.

When I heard the Pittsburgh Penguins rang down the curtain on their 1,667th regular season game at Mellon arena by going wam-pum on the Islanders I had a nostalgic moment which brought back [...]
