Start Moore
Some Random Steelers thoughts:
Start Moore
Willie Parker looks to return to the lineup, at least on a limited basis this week. Usually as a fan I will look at an injured player with an eye toward hoping they’ll be back in the lineup. Not quite the same here. There’s a very telling statistic [...]
Dean’s List: NFL Picks Week 9
Last Week 10-4
Season: 51-34
A good week overall last week…there’s some tough games to call this week, starting with your Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pittsburgh at Washington
Wisdom indicates that the Steelers will be able to contain Clinton Portis. But Jason Campbell’s short passing game is a spot where the Steelers are vulnerable, and without Ryan Clark it could [...]
Grow Up
So why do so many people get so frustrated talking about big athletes and their big money?
Terrell Suggs could be one reason. First he goes on the radio and says yeah, there was a bounty on Rashard Mendenhall and a bounty on Hines Ward. So, a guy knocks you around a bit and [...]
Dean’s List: Pro Picks Week 8
Last week: 9-5
Overall: 41-30
It wasn’t a bad week for me, but I’ve had better too…BUT I did have a better week picking I hear than Scott Harbaugh. Maybe I should try my hand at the forecast.
New York Giants at Pittsburgh
The Steelers offensive line was proud of giving up no sacks to the Bengals High [...]
Scott Harbaugh: Extended Forecast (10/17)
Let’s talk about the last ten days of October. A couple shots of colder than normal air should provide us with our first true “cold spell” of the fall season. Temperatures will average below normal from October 21-31, especially near Halloween. It also looks like we’re setting up for a fairly wet pattern. Keep in [...]

For a long time I’ve believed the NFL is too big and it knows it. There’s a part of me that believes in a short period of time, NFL will eventually weed out its network contracts and go exclusively to a pay-per-view format because it can.
Now it wants to look at the possibility of:
a) [...]
Dean’s List: Pro Picks Week 7
Last Week’s Record: 7-7
Overall Record: 32-25
I felt bad about my record until I saw that one of the folks on AP that does weekly pro picks was 3-11. So now I’ve got Meteorologist Scott Harbaugh challenging me, but he refuses to post his picks alongside mine. But rest assured, [...]
Scott Harbaugh: 80s in October
80 degrees in the middle of October? It is certainly not unheard of around here, but it is a bit on the rare side. Pittsburgh has seen two true October heat waves since records have been kept in the 1870s. A heat wave, in October, is usually considered to be three consecutive days at or more [...]

Each week I do an extended forecast that airs Sunday mornings on Channel 11 News Weekend. It is basically a general outlook for a period beyond the 5-day forecast. However, I decided for the true weather connoisseur I’d start going a little more in depth each week right here on our blog page. So, here goes [...]

There is definitely some color now. I noticed it full tilt on my way home from work on Thursday. i take Camp Horne Road from the Parkway North to route 65. It’s very tree-lined and really pops this time of year. Most of the Pittsburgh area is only running about 20%-30% of color right now, [...]
