What’s The Deal?
What’s The Deal?
It’s not supposed to work like this. What I’m talking about is the first day of fall. Yesterday, the last day of summer was in the 80’s and humid. Perfect summer weather. Then you wake up today and you can feel the chill in the air…Ok, I’m writing this in advance and basing it on the weather forecasts.
Not that the weather people are ever wrong. I’m not saying that. No, not like the time when I didn’t bother to do my homework because we were going to get between eight inches and two feet of snow. No way there would be school the next day, so why waste my time doing homework that I wouldn’t have to hand in.
My father was actually laughing when he woke me the next morning to inform me that not a single flake had fallen. I was cursing the weatherman all the way to school. It was a man in this case and I won’t associated him with any negativity. Especially since he just passed away recently. You can figure it out.
Anyway, this is not the way fall is supposed to arrive. You don’t show up right on time. If you’re invited to a party that starts at 7, you’re not walking up the steps to the door at 6:59. That’s kind of what fall is doing here. Showing up as we’re just getting out of the shower.

We are now two weeks into the NFL season and depression and anger are taking over the population of Pittsburgh. So far, the only game the Steelers didn’t lose, they also didn’t win. That was against a team that has won only one game in the last two years.
The Steelers defense was a big question coming into the season and now the question has been answered.
“They don’t have any defense.”
Let’s look at some of what has transpired so far. The star running back is partying at strip clubs and riding Jet Ski’s in Miami instead of playing. By doing this, he is bypassing $855,000 a week. That’s right, $855,000 a week. How many of you out there are making that much per week? What about per year?
Apparently he is sitting out to prove a point. What point is this, that he’s an idiot? He’s trying to avoid injury so he can make the big money. You know, because it’s tough to get by on only $855,000 a week. Admit it, you’ll love it if he injures himself on a Jet Ski…or a stripper.
