Black-and-golden anniversary: 50 years ago, Steelers embarked on franchise-changing journey
The season began with what is considered the greatest draft class in NFL history and ended with the beginning of one of the greatest periods of dominance in league history. In 1974, the Steelers added to pieces already in place with a draft-day haul that included five future Hall of Famers and started in motion a six-year stretch in which they won four Super Bowls with two different styles of offense and one suffocating, destructive defense.
The biggest of stories came to the small city of Butler. Here’s how its newspaper met the moment
BUTLER, Pa. (AP) — When gunshots echoed at the Trump rally where she was working, Butler Eagle reporter Irina Bucur dropped to the ground just like everyone else. She was terrified. She hardly froze, though. Bucur tried to text her assignment editor, through spotty cell service, to tell him...
Zoo Crew starts fast, hangs on late to advance in TBT
The opening round of last year’s The Basketball Tournament was not kind to the Zoo Crew. While led by some of the best players from Pitt’s golden era of men’s basketball, they were older and slower than their opponents and it showed as they were bounced from the event after just one game. But with a retooled roster that is younger and more athletic, The Zoo Crew opened the 2024 TBT with a bang. They unleashed a barrage of 3-pointers upon Million $ Worth of Game to set up a second round matchup with a bitter rival with a 98-95 win over Million $ Worth of Game.

COMMENT: Trump's reaction and photo that will endure sealed the 2024 election
The 2024 presidential race is over. The image of a bloodied Donald Trump, his fist raised in defiance and his voice yelling “Fight, fight, fight!” to a crowd of followers, removed any doubt as to who the next president of the United States will be. The former president’s...
Penguins' 7th-rounder Mac Swanson tunes out size questions, produces electrifying stats
Mac Swanson knows the question is coming. When you’re a hockey prospect listed at 5-foot-7, 165 pounds in the Penguins development camp media guide, you get it a lot. “It gets old after a while,” Swanson laughed. “For sure, I think that’s part of it. It’s not a very common thing to have a forward that’s 5-7, which I understand. But the game’s played on the ice. The off-ice stuff gets a lot of attention sometimes, but it’s what you do on the ice that’s really important.”
