Friday Sports Update

If you happen to be a Pittsburgh sports fan, you are probably not too happy this Friday morning. First of all you had to decide what game you were going to watch last night (the Steelers or the University of Pittsburgh).

If you are like me you kept switching back and forth between games.  Now typically the last preseason game in the NFL is not very exciting Coaches rarely play the starting players, it's more of a last-ditch effort for players on the bubble to make the roster or get cut.

If you're any coach except Mike Tomlin.... He continued to start Big Ben at quarterback..... which I can't really understand. Then he played Byron Leftwich, our supposedly starting quarterback for the four games during Big Ben's suspension.

If you missed the game, let me tell you how playing Leftwich turned out. He sprained his knee and will be out an undetermined amount of time.  This means our starting quarterback will either be Dennis Dixon or the veteran Charlie Batch.  I do not have a lot of confidence in the Steelers coaching decisions after the way Mike Tomlin ran the organization this preseason.

If you noticed all of the if's in this post good for you. Because I think the Steelers season is definitely iffy at best.

In other football news, the Pittsburgh Panthers lost to Utah last night in overtime.... They certainly had their opportunities to win the game but turnovers got the best of the University of Pittsburgh last night. I'm looking forward to some Penn State football this weekend.

Yikes and I was really hoping the Steelers would do good this year, we'll see.
