Affordable-ish Housing in Pittsburgh: Less than average edition
So, what constitutes “affordable” in Pennsylvania, anyway? I’m asking because I have no idea. Pennsylvania is a big state — almost 13 million people, 19 electoral votes, the prize of the Rust Belt.

Pitt and Kent State begin the season with questions but few answers at quarterback
Kent State at Pittsburgh, Saturday, 12 p.m. ET (ESPNU) BetMGM College Football Odds: Pitt by 24. Series record: Pitt leads 7-0. Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi overhauled the offensive coaching staff in the offseason after going 3-9 in 2023. New offensive coordinator Kade Bell brought in an up-tempo system that piled up plenty of points at Western Carolina. The challenge in his first year with the Panthers will be figuring out how to bring a roster largely comprised of players who were brought in to play a more traditional, pro-style attack up to speed quickly. Narduzzi declined to name a starting quarterback after a months-long competition between Nate Yarnell and Eli Holstein. Both will play against the Golden Flashes, who are coming off a 1-11 season and were picked to finish last in the MAC.

A wild Steelers-Cowboys trade that could help everybody move on already
The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense needs... a lot of work. The Dallas Cowboys shouldn't have any trouble coming by points, but there is a rather severe lack of talent at running back. We aren't used to a compromised Cowboys run game, and it seems like the sort of issue Jerry Jones would be quick to address.
