Listened for first time in many weeks today. They were interviewing Lloyd McLendon. Starkey asked what is surely the only question he has ever been asked about the two months he played in Buffalo before he retired.

DK still crying in his articles that Bettman is "hiding under his desk", yet at 4:30 today he is the first commissioner to publically announce their return to play plan.

(I don't count the NFL, they didn't have any stoppage).

DK is right on the trash pile with Pittsburgh Dad Jr., honestly.

Had to unfollow Pompeani because for some reason every time he 'likes' one of Mullzy's stupid selfies it pops up on my feed telling me that Pompeani liked it.

And his stupid sport coat over tshirt look..look at me, I'm big time now!

Also, Pittsburgh Dad Jr. seems like he tweets non-stop during the day and his virtue signaling and observations are insufferable. His poor family. I like to see people pile on him so I keep following him, I'm a sadist.

I guess now that I think about it that picture I posted could be both Pittsburgh Dad Jr. and Mullzy

haha, I'm not surprised. Seems like he'd like his alcohol. I love the video clip they put at the end of the story with Billy being interviewed during the Steelers' victory parade after SB XLIII and he said something like "we'll be the first to be unruly and go to jail after the end of this thing"

Not surprised. He loves his booze. Drank with him a few times after Pitt bowl games in the team hotel.

How drunk do you have to be to crash into a grocery store?

It was a Shur Save too, hah. Crazy he drove home afterward, probably didn't even know what happened.

According to police, Hillgrove crashed his SUV into the front windowpanes of the store. He then went inside and picked up a prescription before driving back home.

Nice

It's high enough... it's long enough... oops, I crashed into the store.

If you watched that much Pitt sports you’d be drunk too.

My kids got me a subscription to The Athletic for Father’s Day. I login, and go to my feed (I’ve done trials, so it knows which teams/sports I follow etc.) The first article at the top of my list? Josh Yohe and the History of #JagrWatch.

Good grief.

Can someone answer the a** Pittsburgh Dad Jr. so he can shut up (for once) about this topic:

He gets answers but won't stop tweeting about it

Post by **willeyeam** » Mon Jun 22, 2020 6:07 pm

Give him a break, he just wants you to know he was out running

Post by **Morkle** » Mon Jun 22, 2020 6:46 pm

I’m honestly surprised given his kids ailment. I figured he’d be the one to victimize everyone else like he normally does.

Who would actually want to be Pittsburgh Dad Jr.'s friend? I would hate to be his neighbor

Which reaction gets Pittsburgh Dad Jr. to not be my friend? Seriously not sure but whatever it is, that's my reaction.

Also if we could get Kroger back in PA it might force Giant Eagle to reduce their prices.
