WatchGetting ready for the big game on Sunday. I’ve been a Steelers fan since I was 4. My parents said one of the first difficult words I said was “football” and my daughter says it now too (though I’m enjoying that she says that as I’m a major fan of “that” football or futbol). When it comes to football and Pittsburgh (or Cleveland where A is from) or any city...

T U N E Tuesday!!! →
Classic track from ‘93. This used to get played in Baltimore all the time. Flipped Out’s “Lovebomb.” The breakdown at 3:37 was epic.
