I sure hope so!

Current Kentucky Basketball coach Mark Pope and former Kentucky coach John Calipari talking while recruiting at Nike EYBL in Indianapolis this weekend.

What did the Steelers do to tick off the NFL? Those having championship dreams in Pittsburgh this year will need to temper their expectations after the slate dropped like a hammer on the organization. Everyone knows the AFC North is a dog fight. It’s the league’s most competitive division, where any of the four teams could conceivable and convincingly win. That means balance is a razor’s edge, and an absolute sicko must have devised the final eight games of the Steelers’ schedule. Week 11: Baltimore Ravens Week 12: AT Cleveland Browns, on three day’s rest on Thursday Night Football Week 13: AT Cincinnati Bengals, coming off TNF Week 14: Cleveland Browns Week 15: AT Philadelphia Eagles Week 16: AT Baltimore Ravens Week 17: Kansas City Chiefs, (on four day’s rest on Christmas Day) Week 18: Cincinnati Bengals This is a tough last at weeks. Not only is the entire Steelers divisional schedule crammed into the back-end of the year after the bye, but they have games on light rest, and two of their toughest non-divisional games weaved in with all of their divisional games. There’s a very real chance the Steelers could go 9-0 or 8-1 to start the year and see it all collapse because of this final stretch.The NFL certainly did not do the Steelers in favors.

The Reds have lost 12 of their last 14 games, now last place in the division. Worst record in the league in 1-run games (1-10).

Douglass new white road uniforms for this fall.

The Chiefs and Bengals will meet in week #2 of the season. That will be big and I'm looking forward to this one.

Think I need to start wearing a bag at home when I’m watching the Reds on TV

And showing no signs of getting better

Ridiculous, BIG difference between being aggressive and being stupid, this team has no leadership ANYWHERE!!!
