[Pelktastic @pelktastic]

@MarkMaddenX I agree, but I guarantee it's an excuse to get out of the contract. Fox gonna swoop in and put him and Brady together

Paul Skenes is an awesome human in case anyone was wondering.

He was driving by the Ingomar Franklin Park Little League baseball fields last night and saw the lights on and just pulled on in.

He was there over 2 hours signing, taking pictures and playing catch with the kids.

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.

@PAruralCountry @MarkMaddenX Horrible...but hes got the most raw talent out of the 4 they drafted since Ben retired

[Pelktastic @pelktastic]

@PAruralCountry @MarkMaddenX He didn't do good any big game but neither did his shitty wr's, team and coaching staff that got fired so its a crab shoot

[Pelktastic @pelktastic]

@PAruralCountry @MarkMaddenX He will choke less than pickett so thats a win

[Pelktastic @pelktastic]

@RealistSte263 @_STEELHERE Uhhh yeah everyone remembers they wouldnt pay him lol

[Pelktastic @pelktastic]

@GovPressOffice Dude you got roasted idk how your marketing team thinks all caps helps it ok lol

[Pelktastic @pelktastic]

@SteelersNetwork I think we put too much weight on the "professionals" telling us the top picks and who the teams take.. its a crab shoot either way they will never ever pan out as planned. Too many variables to make a player successful in the NFL like most things

[Pelktastic @pelktastic]

@JN_Steve_ Idk why ppl think its astronomically different you arent switching from dB to wr lol

[Jonathon @JN_Steve_]

Just a reminder to show you people why you need to settle down with your draft takes:

Steelers Twitter when they drafted Nick Herbig: “this guy is small, arms are too short, he will have to play off ball LB in the NFL to function”.

Steelers Twitter when they drafted Mason McCormick: “why would you draft a bench player in the 4th round, you have Seumalo and James Daniels. Should have taken TJ Tampa”.

[Pelktastic @pelktastic]

@SteelerSanc16 How did you assess this? You scot the top 300 prospects or did you just use a draft mock simulator to come up with these disastrous opinions?

[Pelktastic @pelktastic]

Pittsburgh media were the ones raving about the kenny pickett pick but say the allar pick was dumb....here's to hoping they are still wrong about qb prospects
