Re: Northern Bedford vs Steelton Highspire

Maxpreps.com rankings are based more on stats and less on human observation. They always have odd ranking compared to those that are done by a human element.

Re: D6 playoffs

Wasn't there a year in which the State A Champion in football had a losing record in the regular season? I don't have time or resources to look it up, but I vaguely remember this happening at least once because the school played in a powerhouse conference and then walked through the State playoffs w...

Re: Early signing

Maybe a lot to pay to play football, but it is also earning a college degree for less money than the general student, and in most of their cases they are paying a lot less than the typical student and getting more academic assistance (tudoring, studyhalls, academic advisors) than the typical student...

Re: Steelers

No, I'm not pretending that he isn't being blackballed by the owners. But, I do remember that there were multiple reports that he had other offers from other owners this off season, so my expectation is that once the dust from Miami settles I think he will be able to get another shot. An owner who w...

Re: Bedford vs Penn Cambria

I have no reason to say this, I have not seen either team play all season, but I would say Bedford wins this one by two scores.... Maybe it is just history guiding me there, but that is my pick.

Re: Steelers

Brian Flores was a HC in the league already, what makes you think that he would be willing to remain a DC when there are other teams out there who need a HC? After the shenanigans in Miami, Flores was lucky to be employed in the NFL Shenanigans in Miami? The guy was run out of town by an owner who ...

Re: Steelers

Sean Payton is retired and still under contract to the Saints until 2024. If some team is able to persuade him out of retirement they will need to buy out his contract, or trade for his rights. Brian Flores was a HC in the league already, what makes you think that he would be willing to remain a DC ...

Re: Steelers

To echo something that was said before, we have to stop comparing this era of sports, especially the NFL to the eras before the salary cap. Chuck Noll was a fantastic coach and evaluator of talent there is no denying that. But, he never had to worry about Joe Greene leaving for a more lucrative cont...

Re: Steelers

The no super bowls in so long argument loses me when you look at Cowher's stats. His team earned the 11th pick when they drafted Ben, that means they were pretty bad that year, and he had not won a super bowl at that point to hang his hat on. Yet, nobody, and I mean nobody was calling for his job ev...

Re: Steelers

I said it before, I'll say it again, they put up with some very long years with Noll, and Cowher did not make the playoffs every year either. You're right the fan base wants championships, but ownership will not make a move anytime soon. Hines Ward needs to develop as a coordinator first then perhap...
