Three Key Pirates for Season’s Second Half
Being .500 isn’t what it used to be. The Pittsburgh Pirates are 48-48 heading into Friday night’s game against the MLB-best Philadelphia Phillies at PNC Park that opens a three-game series and six-game homestand. The Pirates are a .500 team coming out of the four-day All-Star break. They finished the unofficial first half of the season with a 5-1 road trip against the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox. Not long ago, the deck was stacked against a .500 team at the break reaching the postseason. However, with the advent of the third wild card two years ago and a generally mediocre National...

Former NFL GM Believes Steelers Are Now ‘Over The Hump’ Of Most Difficult Part In Post-Roethlisberger Transition
Finding a way to stay competitive after moving on from a franchise quarterback in the NFL is one of the most difficult transitions a team can go through. We have seen the fall of the great New England Patriots dynasty in life after Tom Brady, and there are countless other examples. The New Orleans Saints have not made the playoffs since Drew Brees retired, and look at the Denver Broncos since Peyton Manning called it a career after the 2015 season. They have a combined record of 52-79 since then and have not made the playoffs once. People don’t want to hear about Mike Tomlin’s non-losing season streak, but it is very impressive that the bar has not been significantly lowered since Ben Roethlisberger retired.
