HAPPY MACKOWIAK DAY!

There's "I feel old," and then there's, "I feel old because Garrett Mackowiak is 22."

@BaldyNFL is the best.

.@steelers had the premier Nose Tackle in the NFL; Casey Hampton, for 12 years...no one anchored a defense better...Very few have ever walked the planet that could do what Big Snack did. #herewego #BaldysBreakdowns

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time....

In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day.

Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys.

My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on.
We didn't win.

19 consecutive losing seasons.

2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive.

After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over.

"My mom wants to talk to you."

We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons.

She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up.

Roberto Jr. translated.

"My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy."

She was staring right at me.

Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth:
"I promise you, Vera. That won't happen."

Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it."

I said, "I hope I can keep it too."

I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it.

The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20.

On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field.

And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life.

The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug.

Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them.

The best receiver I have ever seen. I miss him every Sunday. @AB84

A lot of people chirping this frozen pizza saying it’s not cooked enough. Not fair to my wife. I like my digiornos softer and doughier. Sue me! Chirp me not her!

I have to be on @SiriusXMNHL radio tomorrow at 7:30am pacific standard and I haven’t watched a second of this Oilers game. I won’t sugarcoat that. I can’t focus on anything other than Nikki Smokes throwing the lucky boxers on, on a god dam Monday night. Smokes is going to be throwing the kitchen sink, the murphy bed and the sectional at every piece of trim that crosses his scope tonight. No pressure, No diamond fella!! @nickysmokess
PLAY FREE. Stay in flow. And trust your edges. Be where your feet are. Nobody can do what you do.
Cheering by the minute from Scottsdale. Remember you can’t win the game in the first minute but you can certainly lose it. Thats baseball. And that’s porn too. Chin tucked 🫡🫡

Remember when the Penguins were cool and did the blizzard whiteout?

[Ohio’s Tate @OhioTate]

I can confirm that Tommy Smokes is currently dealing with a “severe bloody nose” due to the dry heat.

He is also dealing with an upset stomach after driving because he gets car sick.

When asked if 911 needed to be called, Tommy responded, “I don’t know, maybe”

[Liam Blutman @Blutman27]

The fact of the matter is the Pittsburgh Penguins have a 0.00001% chance of winning the Stanley Cup solely due to these jerseys

This is NOT a Stanley Cup winning look

You can NOT lift the greatest trophy in sports while wearing this

Same I don’t drink though I just take adderall

[Brandon Walker @BFW]

@zack_cozart My theory that nothing makes a person dumber than sports fandom is on full display with the pirates fans who are claiming Simpson is a dirty player.

He’s literally trying to avoid him.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

The fastest yes I’ve ever given in my life. Yes Barstool would love to compete in the Family Feud. Now to pick what morons are on the panel with me.

@BarstoolYak @BFW Where’s the giant Pencil?

OH MY GOD IT’S KONNOR AND CONNOR

[Nicky Boy @nickcosalter]

The fucking King of Pittsburgh.

[Andrew Fillipponi @ThePoniExpress]

I don't think Konnor Griffin is gonna be signing a 9 year extension.

[Jerry O'Connell @MrJerryOC]

Full discloshe, I don't think anything is happening here. I slept in a bunk with @Zaccornelius_ for three nights and NOTHING HAPPENED. Mind you, he's not an intercourse guy but maybe these peeps aren't either! Chill everybody. Weren't they there for Coach's Thing? CHILL.
