Note to Philly fans...don’t bet your life savings on one game!

:10—I know how much you wish, I mean really wish, I wasn’t that guy. But alas, I am that guy. You know, the I told you so guy. Just go back a few weeks and be reminded of my prediction—KC Chiefs 31 - Philly Eagles 24. Off by a few points but close enough to talk a little smack! (The fact I guessed wrong on the last five Super Bowl games has nothing to do with it.)

:09—OK, let’s get this out of the way for good.

Note to Philly fans and a few local talk show hosts who apparently put their life savings on the Eagles, or so it would seem. The point is the official made the call he saw, he’s not programmed in a split second to yea or nay. Secondly, hey Philly fans, if you stop the Super Bowl record-breaking punt return by Kadarius Toney you don’t set yourself up for the end result. Lastly, and this really should end the crying—Eagles cornerback James Bradberry admitted to the penalty... ‘nuff said!

:08—Sorry, not done yet but almost. No scary Philly D-Line, strangely no Philly run game to speak of with Pittsburgh’s own Miles Sanders under-utilized. And correct me if I’m wrong but the Eagles were supposed to have the greatest O-Line since the 1976 Steelers! OK, enough pain—I’m finished.

:07—Same church but different row, and I know you’re thinking what I’m thinking—Will somebody please send Matt Canada the Chiefs playbook? Oh, my bad, I thought that’s what you were thinking. Help me, Lord, help me Lord, help me Lord!

:06—To that point, JuJu Smith-Schuster is the second Steeler receiver to leave the Steelers recently and get a Super Bowl ring.

I’m just sayin’! (Antonio Brown with Tampa Bay mannnn!)

:05—Oh... Oh... Oh... Hold up, wait a minute

—“Now let me clear my throat” (DJ Kool)—I told you I am not watching the halftime show starring Rihanna, aka RiRi.

I made the mistake of watching it! Look, I am not a hater and God bless the sister for getting paid. But if you think that show lands anywhere near Michael Jackson, 1993, Janet Jackson, 2004, Prince, 2007 or Bruno Mars, 2014, then I don’t know what to tell ya... Just Google or YouTube and see for yourself.

:04—Now on to some other stuff. The Pittsburgh Pirates collection of what they refer to as pitchers, and the catchers have reported to spring training camp. Why, you ask? I - Don’t - Know!

:03—While you were sleeping the IUP men’s basketball team sits alone in these United States as the #1 Division II program. And it’s not the first time—they’ve been there before. Hoo-Rah!

:02—If you’re thinking for some strange reason the Pitt men’s basketball team should not be ranked in the Top 25, you would be correct. That’s because they should be ranked in the Top 15! I’ve come to this conclusion with some good ol’ old school math. If I beat every team ranked ahead of me from the ACC, and some twice, I should probably be ranked ahead of them. C’mon man!!!

:01—You’re doggone right I left the best for last. You can have your list, after all this is America... Freedom of Speech and all that jazz, but here’s the true list, period. End of story... again! The 10 Greatest Basketball Players of All-Time are as follows—#1 - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar #2 - Wilt

Chamberlain #3 - Michael Jordan #4 - Julius “Dr. J” Erving #5 - Earvin “Magic” Johnson #6Kobe Bryant #7 - LeBron James #8 - Larry Bird #9 - Jerry West #10 - Connie Hawkins. I know it and now you know it too. Now, the most accomplished player of all-time is Bill Russell—c’mon man, 11 rings! Are you serious?!?! And, no, I didn’t forget LeBron James. You want him, you got him! But I will tell you this—If any number of capable players had a four-year head start (meaning no four years of college like Kareem had) they would be the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. I’m just sayin’!!! I know, I know, just call or text me at 412-628-4856. :00—GAME OVER.
