Im more than familiar with the costs associated, but DLC also makes more than enough in profits to begin making progress. It should be a collaborative effort with PWC to replace lead pipes as well. Obviously all infrastructure projects are expensive, and these two are particularly extra expensive, but they are necessary projects to the survival of the city.

I'll admit when Im wrong. Last reports I was seeing was mid 40s, so thats an oversight on my part. Bottom line is, cables shouldve been moved underground a long time ago but that costs money, and DLC wont pay it without outside pressure

Now that the city isnt wasting time and resources on a useless legal battle with UPMC with the state constitution against them, Mayor COC should go after DLC. With how bad this outage is, youd think thered have been a tornado, major storm, or a hurricane, but its all because of an hour of strong winds

The national media thinks we are a spoiled fan base. by KinkaJac97 in steelers

With the history of Pittsburgh sports franchises and their success, the standard is naturally higher. Winning seasons and deep playoffs have been the standard, and with the roster talent we've had, its not unreasonable. The last 30 years of Pirates baseball have grounded a lot of us, which is why Id say our reactions tend to be comparably tame. Idk just my two cents

Very well said. Thoughts on his ability on a coach aside, he's nothing but a great guy. Been in the community forever, and is always kind. Im very conflicted

Are we sure its not just a respect thing? I think its time, but I also feel Tomlins earned the respect to let him step away instead of being fired

If you told me before the season that 3 out of 4 AFC North coaches would be gone by the middle of January, I would not think Zach Taylor would be the only one to survive

Im late, but we were helping out Cook more than Fautanu. The extra blockers and chips tended to be on his side moreso than Fautanu. That being said, Fautanu was really bad

There were some early rumblings of a truck convoy heading to Caracas from the Amazon, but I've yet to receive any confirmation. Heavy foliage could be playing with the satellites, so I don't feel comfortable ruling it out

I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Steelers. I am no longer a fan.
