Labor Day sports notes
Took my daughter to her first Steelers game Thursday night. She loved the festive, friendly atmosphere, but neither of us loved watching Byron Leftwich go down.

Comrie Signs 1 year $500,000 deal with Pittsburgh
I don't know how he does it, folks, but GM Ray Shero has a talent for finding...well...talent, at a minimal price. Today it was announced that F Mike Comrie signed a 1 year deal with the penguins at the cost of $500k. Ladies and gentleman, that is what we call, a steal.

ESPN.com Says Pitt is "It" in 2010-11
The University of Pittsburgh Men's Basketball team finished last season at 25-9, which was about ten wins more than most analysts predicted. However, big seasons from junior guard Brad Wanamaker and sophomore guard Ashton Gibbs helped propel the Panthers to a second place finish in the very tough Big East Conference. With the Panthers only losing one key player from last year (guard Jermaine Dixon), Pitt is looking to take the next step in 2010-11. So, with that in mind, what do the same experts say about Pitt this upcoming year?

North of Mason Dixon
Hockey may be my true love, but a piece of my heart belongs to music. I love listening to music and going to concerts and even attempt to learn to play the acoustic guitar. Although I listen to all different types of music, country music is my absolute favorite! Earlier this year I had the opportunity to see a new band perform; this band happened to be AMAZING and also happened to be from Pittsburgh. May I present to you, North of Mason Dixon, otherwise known as NOMaD...

Oh, What a Night! #Steelers or #Pitt?
Tomorrow is Thursday. It is a big night for some, another night, for others. The questions is, what should we watch? Do we watch Pitt football? They are facing Utah in Utah. This could be the first of many victories for Pitt this season. They are coming in ranked #15. I hope that means something. Or should we watch the last preseason Steeler game? Who starts at quarterback? Will they get it together? Will they live up to Sports Illustrated's Peter King and win the Super Bowl this year? Will this be the start the Steelers need to succeed?

Defending Tomlin
Mike Tomlin is getting ripped everywhere he turns: on the airwaves, in print and all over television. I even heard Post-Gazette Stillers beat writer Ed Bouchette criticizing him on ESPN last night.

Welcome back
I'll start in the middle, since I am in the middle... of my life.
Eleven years of chasing crime, sifting through lies from politicians and translating legalese from shady lawyers at the Detroit Free Press caught up with me this past spring. I finally made the toughest decision in my life: Leave journalism, a job I both loved and excelled in.
