Pitt tied up Virginia Tech tonight with another touchdown by offensive tackle Brian O’Neill.

MLB Game Ends In A Tie For The First Time Since 2005
Tonight, officials called the Pirates-Cubs game in the sixth inning with the score tied 1-1. Heavy rain in Pittsburgh forced the game to stop for over an hour, and it was eventually called. The two teams are not scheduled to play again this year, and the outcome won’t affect playoff positioning, so ...
Antonio Brown Says Refs Threatened To Eject Him For Wearing Cool Shoes
Steelers receiver Antonio Brown has long been one of the few NFL players willing to thumb his nose (or butt, rather) at the NFL’s joy-killing rules against self expression. It seems like the league has finally had enough of Brown daring to have a good time while playing football, though, as he claim...

A.J. Burnett Told Andrew McCutchen To Hit Two Homers, So He Did
The Pirates whacked a mess of dingers in their 15-2 win in Philadelphia, but none quite so on-demand as Andrew McCutchen’s. Former Pirate (and Phillie) A.J. Burnett visited the Bucs’ clubhouse before the game, and, like a dying child, he had a request for his favorite slugger....
Why Didn't Josh Norman Cover Antonio Brown?
Washington gave cornerback Josh Norman $50 million in guarantees, money befitting one of the game’s few shutdown corners. But Monday night, it apparently was too much to expect the ‘Skins to use him to try to shut down the Steelers’ Antonio Brown, who only happens to be one of the game’s best receiv...
