However, he found a home in Pittsburgh in 2000, best known for working with the former AT&T SportsNet, where he covered the Pittsburgh Pirates and Pittsburgh Penguins as an interviewer and in-studio host.

New Penguins D-Man Grzelcyk Admits Lost Confidence; Prepares for Big Challenge
Nearly a few weeks after signing with the Pittsburgh Penguins on July 1, defenseman Matt Grzelcyk expressed his hopes with a new team and admitted he didn’t have the best year with the Boston Bruins. Actually, it was a pretty rough year with Boston, leading to his unrestricted free agency. Grzelcyk (pronounced grizz-lick), 30, had a nagging injury that forced him to long-term injured reserve, derailing his season. He admittedly struggled to get back into the rhythm of the campaign, and things spiraled from there. He played in just 63 games and was a healthy scratch for most of Boston’s playoff games....

Report: Arthur Smith Rejected Offer From Jets Before Steelers Hired Him
NFL insider Dianna Russini revealed in The Athletic that the New York Jets talked to now-Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith about a role helping Nathaniel Hackett. Essentially a de-facto OC position. Smith rejected the offer, however, because the Jets were not clear about the role, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. Smith also wasn’t all that interested. The opportunity to coach with Mike Tomlin and be a part of the Steelers organization was more appealing to Smith. Which makes sense since he would have basically been an advisor for Hackett in New York. “The job Smith now has — Steelers...
Two Random Offensive Questions as the Steelers Get Closer to Camp
As I think about the start of 2024 Training Camp for the Pittsburgh Steelers, I started to ponder a few things. Rather than give you a bunch of fluff in the lead up to my questions, I’m just going to get right at it. I’m sure you don’t mind.
Phillies, Pirates start second half with positive outlooks
The Philadelphia Phillies will look to pick up where they left off when they begin the second half of the season on Friday with the opener of a three-game series against the host Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillies won a franchise-best 62 games before the All-Star break and hold a sizable 8 1/2-game lead over the second-place Atlanta Braves in the National League East. Philadelphia's representation checked every box in its last game, albeit an exhibition one. Bryce Harper, who leads the team in homers (21) and batting average (.301), ripped a double in the first inning of the All-Star Game on Tuesday. Trea Turner had a single during the NL's three-run third inning and Alec Bohm (team-leading 107 hits, 70 RBIs) added a single in the fourth. "I thought it was pretty cool, all of us having a little bit of success in the game," Turner said. "Especially for (Bohm), it's his first All-Star Game. I think Bryce, for sure, has had plenty of hits in All-Star games, and I've had one or two." Philadelphia also received quality performances from its three pitchers who participated in the All-Star Game. Cristopher Sanchez, Ranger Suarez and Jeff Hoffman combined to retire all five batters they faced. "I think just the amount of people we had selected, it just kind of shows the group success we've had," Bohm said. "Because it's not just a guy or two that's carrying the load. Each and every night, it's someone different chipping in and making a big play or driving in three or four runs or something like that. "It's just such a deep team and it's a super-talented group. It's been fun to be a part of." Philadelphia, which sent three-fifths of its starting rotation to the All-Star Game, will turn to right-hander Aaron Nola (11-4, 3.38 ERA) to take the mound on Friday. Nola, 31, has won both of his starts this month, allowing four runs on nine hits with 17 strikeouts in 12 innings. He owns a 4-3 record with a 3.98 ERA in nine career starts against Pittsburgh. He did not take the mound when the teams split their four-game series in Philadelphia from April 11-14. While the Phillies cruised through the unofficial first half of the season, the Pirates enjoyed some positives of their own. Pittsburgh won its final four games heading into the break to even its record after 96 games. The club sits 6 1/2 games behind the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers and 1 1/2 games out of the final wild-card spot. The Pirates, led by rookie sensation Paul Skenes, boast a stellar rotation but need a bit more pop from their bats. Pittsburgh is tied for 26th in the majors in batting average (.231) and 27th in OPS (.669). Rowdy Tellez has bounced back from a porous start to bat .324 since June 1. Bryan Reynolds leads the team in hits (110), homers (18), RBIs (61) and batting average (.281). The Pirates are set to send left-hander Martin Perez (1-5, 5.15) to the mound Friday. In nine career appearances (eight starts) against the Phillies, Perez is 4-1 with a 2.96 ERA. Skenes is expected to take the mound later in the series. Skenes did not allow a hit in his one inning pitched during Tuesday's All-Star Game. The 22-year-old right-hander is 6-0 with a 1.90 ERA in his first 11 starts this season. Skenes said he hopes for more of the same in the second half of the season. "Hopefully, going to win a lot of games," he said. "Go out there and keep executing the kind of way I have been and keep learning the league. Just learn every single outing and keep putting us in positions to win." --Field Level Media.
NFL Insider: Steelers Landing Davante Adams 'Down The Road' Still A Likely Scenario
The Pittsburgh Steelers' roster looks the best it has going into a season over the last several years. General Manager Omar Khan and Assistant General Manager Andy Weidl have done a fantastic job through free agency, the draft, and making the necessary trades to set the team up for success. However, one hole on the roster looms large: receiving help outside of George Pickens. Pittsburgh has been connected to rumors involving the San Francisco 49ers and Brandon Aiyuk since the new league year began in March. Aiyuk officially requested a trade on Tuesday, so that remains a possibility. Another option that is on the horizon...
