Happy Friday to all of yinz and welcome to the first of several quiet sports weekends we’ll now encounter before the Pittsburgh Steelers open their 2019 training camp in Latrobe in late July. That’s right, for a little more than five weeks, we’ll have no NHL or NBA games to watch as both leagues crowned champions this past week. For now, all we have is the MLB to keep us occupied and maybe some golf, if you’re into that.
The NFL announced this past week that the Oakland Raiders will be this year’s selection for ‘Hard Knocks’ on HBO and that makes me very happy.
