Can't make it. Taking my yinzer wife to pittsburgh for the bills game. I ordered a salute to service shirt from the bills for this game. This is what i got: nice organization. No wonder we can't win. Good luck to those who fish.

Doesn't take much to beat the Steelers this year.  They are embarrassing.

Just a heads up that the forecast is questionable for tomorrow. We will be reassessing the forecast and making a final decision by 6 PM whether to postpone a week.

Please check back here his evening for the final verdict
