I was watching my son play in his 8-9 year old summer basketball league last week (recap: lots of fouls and screaming parents, very few actual baskets) when a Dad I was speaking with asked how I thought the Steelers would do this season. I stared at him quizzically for a moment, then shrugged and gave him the most honest answer I could:
“I don’t know.”
His question truly stumped me. Granted, I hadn’t thought much about it. Between the film crunching I’ve done for BTSC, the draft profiles and the occasional nostalgia piece, I haven’t really considered the totality of the season at hand.
