Pitt gets into the win column with a (as Myron Cope used to put it) desultory 20-10 win over Ohio University. A win is a win, and Pitt surely needed one as they figure to be big underdogs the next two weeks. However, on the entertainment meter, that game yesterday at Heinz Field scored pretty low.
On the plus side, the Ohio University marching band, The Marching 110, was terrific! Really.
*******
One of the reasons for that could be due to the fact that the Pitt game was totally hijacked by the news, delivered via social media on everybody's cell phones, of the release by the Oakland Raiders of that well known Steelers former WR, Antonio BrowNarcissist. That news completely inundated the crowd at Heinz Field and completely sucked all of the air out of the game being contested between Pitt and OU on the field.
It was, everyone agreed, a completely remarkable turn of events.
********
But however crazy those turn of events were, they were, incredibly, topped only a few hours later when now free agent BrowNarcissist was signed by none other than the New England Patriots.
I don't want to go all Oliver Stone here, but it stretches all credulity to think that there WASN'T any tampering and hinky doings going on behind he scenes among BrowNarcissist, his sleazy agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and, of course, the evil empire of Bob "Happy Endings" Kraft and Bill Belichick. Surely the Commissioner's Office needs to look into the machinations that went into this farce.
And now tomorrow's highly anticipated nationally televised Sunday Night opener between the Steelers and the Patriots will be hijacked by constant close-ups of BrowNarcissist standing on the New England sidelines with all of his new best buds on the Patriots. It'll be sickening.
Of course, if the Steelers can only manage to beat the Patriots......well, how sweet would THAT be?
