    Pitt fans not understanding how defenseless player rules work is pretty comical. 

    Seriously…they remember Vontaze Burfict and his hit on Antonio Brown.  Cost Burfict $112,000.  Or maybe they remember Hines Ward breaking Bengal linebacker Keith Rivers’ jaw on a blindside crack back block.  SMFH…boy I hated that SOB.  He laughed about it.

    Former North Carolina player and Indiana native Eric Montross died of cancer yesterday.  

    His father, Scott, and I attended the same high school.  I was four years behind him.  Remember watching him play ball and wishing I was 6’6”.  Nope…5’8”.  Hoped Eric would choose IU, but it didn’t happen.   Condolences to the families.

    Ugh.  I feel VERY old.  And UGH... I know that sets the bar high and I am a terrible gift giver.  

    You just have to come up with the equivalent weekend for her.  Or fly to Barcelona like we did for my wife’s 75th birthday.  🥳 Flowers and complimentary sparkling wine waiting when we arrived at the hotel.

    Well, as I said, Trey did ok on Young in the BTT... And I think Gabe can guard Harris-Smith...

    CJ is going to have to have his big boy defensive pants on tonight... And Leal will get action, although I don't think he's a good matchup on either... 

    I say use the zone as needed
