  1. I have interviewed both Tony Dorsett and Hugh Green. Both great guys. Great football players. Great Pitt Men. That middle picture I believe is from the 1975 game v Notre Dame. Dorsett had 303 yards. It was the greatest game, in person, I saw, until Izzy Abanikanda had 320 and 6 TDs against Va. Tech. My cousin was Danny's tight end in high school and teammate & roomie at Pitt. After CYO basketball games we used to go eat meatballs with Danny at my cousin's grandma's, on his father's side. They were all Italians. Danny was such a great passer. You really could see it in high school. We used to go every Friday night to the Central Catholic games to watch them. Those were great uniforms. I have a picture of Green, as a freshman, as one of my screen savers. 👇
  2. Yeah, that was fucking stupid as well. We call that one PatherSeal. Otter works as well.
  3. The day they had the press conference to reveal the stupid uniforms in 1997 I was in the front row at the Student Union and I leaned over to a friend who covered Pitt for one of the papers and my quote was, “those are fucking awful”. They were indeed awful. Horrible. I had to be careful around people because i help out at games but, whenever i was within earshot of Pederson I had Tourette’s and I would scream “stripes on pants” “stripes on helmet”, etc. Tyler Palio got reamed out because he put a Script Pitt on his helmet of the Senior Bowl. I said many other things to anyone who would listen. Thankfully, we eventually found our way back from the shittiest uniforms ever.
  4. Script Pitt, as we call it, is actually based on the signature of William Pitt, The Younger. He was the Prime Minister of England in the years following the Revolutionary War. Pittsburgh though, is named for his father William Pitt, The Elder. The basketball team used to have a closer representative of Pitt's signature on the jersey until 1985, I think. Then they adopted the one from the helmet. That softer version was designed by Johnny Major when he came in 1973. He also designed the football uniform. Majors hated the uniform change to DinoCat in 1997. That was courtesy of Idiot Steve Pederson.
  5. That’s sharp
  6. 1. Pitt (homes) 2. UNC (homes) 3. SMU (homes) 4. Miami (homes) 5. Clemson (homes) Syracuse and Virginia Tech would be in contention if they went back to their 25-years ago uniforms.
  7. Went down to the World Trade Center yesterday
  8. Just drove past the exit on my way to NYC
  9. From that link: He was then asked whether he still had the passion to continue racing and Hamilton was more emphatic. “No, I still love it, I still love the team,” the 40-year-old said. ----------------------------------------- Of course he still loves it/the team. They are paying him a very large amount of money, and from reports, a lot of it not tied to racing, rather his off-track projects. Some, including this website link, have put the deal worth over $400,000,000. Kudos for him being able to get that deal. https://www.planetf1.com/news/lewis-hamilton-ferrari-salary-details
  10. I'm not trying to be argumentative as I agree on the fantastic ball of confusion that surrounds Ferrari. It's astounding that they shoot themselves in the foot so often. Even with all of the dramatic fuck-ups Ferrari has finished second in the constructor's championship seven times, since and including 2012 and are currently second. They have also finished third five times, since and including 2010. Obviously the third-place finishes are much, much less impressive than the seconds, and they have not won a driver's title since 2007. Hamilton has two victories in his last 82 races. I just think at 40 years old he isn't up to snuff. I think the same about Alonso, who has not won in 203 races. I think LeClerc has six wins in his last 80 races. And yes, there are a ton of factors that go into it all. I agree with your son
  11. That was baffling by Ferrari but, on par for recent history. I felt a bit bad for LeClerc cuz he seems like a good guy. As for Hamilton, I've said it before, I think he's done. His car at Mercedes was light years ahead of the competition. He still drove so very well but, I rate Schumacher above Hamilton is the greatest-ever discussion. I think Schumacher had more to do with building teams and making teams & cars better. That's just my opinion. Schumacher's winning % is 29.7 and Hamilton is now at 28.37. That was a great job by Lando running so many laps on those tires, and holding off a couple of dives by Piastri. I was pretty certain that in those final four laps, or so, that Lando would lock up in a turn and lose position. Well done. The top-10 from today is kind of nuts too. Alonso is 5th, Bortoleto in 6th, Stroll in 7th and Lawson in 8th; all in front of Max. Now we have to wait until the 29th for P1 at Zandvoort.
  12. It’s just the name I gave to a party we started having in 2018. It was the summer after my mother died and we had other deaths in the family and I figured a bunch of us needed some fun. I put a bunch of meat on my pellet smokers, limited sides. Lots of Bier and good-natured ribbing. Today I did three beef tenderloin, two pork loins, salmon, & chicken. Some ginger slaw for the one pork loin I turned into something similar to a pulled pork, some Asian cucumbers, and pies from the Oakmont Bakery. It was great fun. Probably about 40 people.
  13. I didn’t get to watch much. I saw bits and pieces as I was getting stuff ready here for MeatFestVIII here at the house today. I’ll have to watch the highlights a bit later. I kinda like LeClerc.
  14. So far nobody has said anything about it. Well done, Chuck. Amazing how the RedBulls are shit now.
  15. no dickin' around in that league!
  16. "That green thing" "We're not sure where it came from"
  17. Is that worse than the wig on the floor?
  18. Mrs Usyk? Just kidding. I can't disagree with what you said. The dude is amazing. He's amazing for 46.
  19. I agree that it is time for a complete re-boot, or extermination, of Renault/Alpine. I wanted them to succeed as I like as many different constructors and engines as possible. And I still have fond memories of Schumacher’s second title with Renault power. I too like Nico. He’s got a dry sense of humor and good timing. Karun is horrible. I try to not watch the pre-race show. I do go straight to YouTube to watch the post-race show though to see the interviews from drivers through the field. I guess Horner could also dip into the Spice Girl $$$ from Geri. I’m glad I saw that first-lap pass by Oscar before I kind of fell asleep on the couch.
  20. Norris with some electrical issue it seems which I reckon helped Piastri
  21. Piastri with a brilliant move for the lead at the top of the hill.
  22. Safety Car still on the track, four laps down. Should be about to start. Now.
  23. Getting ready to start now. Two laps behind the Safety Car
  24. They said pretty bad weather for tomorrow’s race. Should be interesting
