Re: Steelers discussion

You can value whatever source you want to and share your opinions freely just as anyone else can.  That’s the luxury of a public forum.  You want Tomlin fired, others do not.  The reality is it doesn’t really matter bc none of us own the team and have a say in those decisions.

Re: LHAC Week Five

I got the perfect answer knowitall...if you anticipate that the other coach will make adjustments to your predicted adjustments, then you can really make no adjustments because the other team will adjust out of what was working to begin with! Listen guys, what knowitall is trying to say is that some...

Re: Pirates First Half and Into the Second

At the ASB, I predicted between 75-85 wins...it seems I definitely overestimated them. I expected a 2nd half decline, but I did not expect them to be downright dominated and outclassed on most nights. This is a franchise that is in a lot of trouble moving forward. And yes, based on past history, I’d...

Re: What say you?

Everyone is entitled to do what they feel is best for themselves, but I think this young lady will regret her decision down the road. Playing HS sports is more than just training for the next level. The team provides a family-type atmosphere and you form bonds that last a lifetime. If you talk to an...

Re: Is it time for 8 man football in PA?

And I’ll agree with you in part as well, but part of “teaching” the players correctly involves getting the players to take it seriously. Players of any age are never going to learn if the practices and games are free-for-all grab **** sessions in the name of fun. Coaches, even youth coaches, have to...

Re: Is it time for 8 man football in PA?

My opinion is a little bit different. I don’t think “superhero dads” are the problem. In fact, I always wanted my kids playing for a coach that valued discipline, structure, hard work, and playing to win. Those are the kids I see learning to play the sport the right way and end up successfully playi...

Re: United’s Kyle Silk moves to Ligonier Valley

No dog in the fight at all, but everyone is talking about the impact to this young man individually. How about the three teams that have all been impacted by this transfer. First United loses its best player which I’m sure impacted other kids coming out. Then, he was practicing with Ligonier taking ...

Re: United’s Kyle Silk moves to Ligonier Valley

Roger assured us that his original move to Ligonier was not prompted by athletic intent, so I’m assuming the ‘personal issues’ followed him to Ligonier requiring yet another relocation.  This is proof that D6 and the PIAA made the right decision in this matter!

Re: Pirates First Half and Into the Second

Wow, the Pirates have officially thrown in the towel. As bad as they’ve been after the All Star Break, that 2nd inning may be the worst inning of the season!

Re: Pirates First Half and Into the Second

The NL Central is one that has 5 teams that could legitimately make a run in the playoffs.  The records are so close to .500 bc they are all beating up on each other.  That being said, I for one, did not foresee the kind of offensive output they’ve displayed the past 2 months.  In fact, I continuous...
