From Rubber to Steel
It’s Week 4, you lost to a division rival on primetime, and you face the reality you’re 1-2-1. You realize that you need a lot of help around you and you need to put your head down and win. That is exactly what the Steelers did and they’re now the second seed in the AFC. The Steelers are 5-0 since Week 4, and they aren’t just winning games, they’re dominating. How did the Steelers get this far?

Should Le'Veon Bell Play This Season?
Le'Veon Bell is pushing against the deadline when it comes to him playing this season. He has until next November 13th to report to his team, the Pittsburgh Steelers or he forfeits his season. Bell has been the story of the NFL season with his continued holdout from the team. He has refused to sign his franchise tag, and now has lost out on 8.52$ million in earnings this season The Steelers have found their mojo, and it seems like life is fine in the world of Le'Veon Bell. Should he even come back this season?

Week 10 NFL Picks Against the Spread
There is a ton going on in the world of sports. NBA season is in full effect and has ton of juicy story lines (Warriors are ridiculous, LeBron drama, the Raptors with and without Kawhi Leonard are so legit, Giannis etc); the NHL season as well. Additionally, college football is getting close to its playoff and the standings are constantly changing (except for Alabama who just kicks the shit out of everyone they play; its like clockwork). And then there was college basketball's opening night last night which featured many top ten teams and most importantly the debut of the Duke super freshman RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, and Zion Williamson, who looks like a cross between Charles Barkley and a member of the X-Men—my goodness. Those three kids are, in all likelihood, going to be three of the top five picks in the upcoming NBA draft.

Are the Steelers Contenders or Pretenders?
Ah yes it is that time of year again and I’m not talking about the holiday season, I am talking about second half football. With the 23-16 defeat over the Baltimore Ravens Sunday, the Steelers stayed atop the AFC North. The Steelers have been hot lately. Offense and defense are finally complimenting each other on the field and the “Fire Tomlin,” crowd seems to be hiding. Have the Steelers done enough to be contenders?

I Got Tickets to Last Year’s Super Bowl. Here’s How I Did It.. Top Story - November 2018.
Imagine my horror, watching my beloved Philadelphia Eagles crush the heavily-favored Minnesota Vikings to advance to their first Super Bowl in 14 years. No, I was not upset because they had pulled off the unlikely upset, I was overjoyed about that.

It's James Conner Time in Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Steelers, led by James Conner, won Sunday 33-18 against Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns. James Conner had 146 yards on the ground and two touchdowns. Conner was 34 yards shy of running what Baker Mayfield threw on Sunday (180). This was James Conner’s third straight game running for 100+ yards and scoring 2+ touchdowns, his fourth of the season. He is the first back in Steelers history and in the NFL since 2009 to do that. Pending the Patriots Bills game on Monday Night, Conner is third on the NFL’s rushing leaders list with 599 yards. He is also beneficial in the pass game. He averages 10.4 yards per reception. He is 4th in yards from scrimmage with 992. At the end of the day, receiving or rushing, James Conner averages almost six yards per play when he touches the football. Le’Veon Bell is still holding out. The question isn’t will Le’Veon be himself when he comes back, but rather is James Conner the starting back for the Pittsburgh Steelers? It’s only been seven games for the Steelers, but I say yes it is time.

Week 8 Picks Against the Spread
Another week of NFL football coming up. Can't believe it's already week eight, the season is flying by, and for us New York Giants fans, this season CANNOT end soon enough. After another ridiculous loss this past Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons, the Giants sit at 1-6. This was a team I was super excited about before the season started, too—just an awful, awful season for them.

Coaching
We all love sports. It does not matter what sport it is, we just love it. We have a passion and a drive to dedicate our time to teach the youth the sport, whether it is pee-wee to college sports. I think that most people do not know how difficult it is to coach any stage. Besides of the difficulties of coaching, it is such an awarding position without a doubt. As for myself, I picked up a coaching job at my old school district as a middle school coach.

AFC North Meltdown
The Pittsburgh Steelers have taken the lead of the AFC North. With a humiliating Bengals and Ravens loss and devastating Browns loss, the Steelers not playing this Sunday gave them the lead. Thanks to a tie with the Browns week 1, the Steelers went from 3rd to 1st. How did we get here? Let's break it down.

Michigan Football Is Back
Michigan is looking like the team that we would expect them to be under Jim Harbaugh and frankly, we should not be surprised. His track record speaks for itself and despite popular opinion, he had already elevated Michigan prior to this season.
