Pittsburgh-based The Athletic sportswriter Stephen J. Nesbitt (“How the Pipers, Condors and Pro Basketball in Pittsburgh Went Extinct”) joins to help us dig into the surprisingly rich (though mostly woeful) history of professional hoops in the Steel City. Though the game has long thrived at the collegiate level (Pitt’s Panthers began playing in 1905; the Duquesne Dukes in 1914), the city’s record of success at the pro level has been distinctly more fleeting.  In fact, some would argue it was never better than the pre-integration Black Fives era of the 1910s/20s, when eventual Naismith Hall of Famer Cumberland Posey led his Monticello (1912) and Loendi Big Five (1919-23) clubs to five “Colored” Basketball World Championships. As professional (and eventually integrated) leagues took root in the decades that followed, Pittsburgh’s attractive demographic profile made it a natural choice for inaugural – yet ultimately short-lived – franchises in virtually every major hardwood circuit that came calling, including: The never-playoff-qualifying Pirates (1937-39) and re-born Raiders (1944-45) of the NBA-precedent National Basketball League; The lamentable Ironmen (1947-48) of the NBA tributary Basketball Association of America; The Connie Hawkins-led Renaissance (“Rens”) of the one-and-a-half-season (1961-62) American Basketball League; and especially; The head-scratching Pipers of the legendary American Basketball Association – who, despite winning the league’s first championship behind regular-season and playoff MVP Hawkins in 1968 – relocated to Minneapolis, moved back to Pittsburgh, and finally re-branded as the “Condors” for two forgettable last seasons (1970-72). With a checkered pro history like that, it’s little wonder that the basketball team most memorably associated with the City of Bridges wasn’t even a real club – the Pittsburgh Pisces (née Pythons) of the 1979 sports/disco fantasy cult film classic The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh.

You've found The Crowley Show and this matchup on Sunday at Heinz is between two teams that are almost exactly the same. Key word being almost there and the Crowl Man starts by pointing out the cracks in the Bills armor and goes as far as calling them just a bunch of frauds. Minkah has been a huge factor in this season turn around for the Steelers, and Stephen J Nesbitt of The Athletic wrote a great profile on the safety that we discuss with Stephen. We also touch on the fact that Gerrit Cole looks like a thumb after his Yankees shave and haircut, just like the villains in Spy Kids Two.

You've found The Crowley Show and we got real live actual football that counts towards a real season tonight......but AB painted his Mona Lisa and through everything else right out the window. Crowl Man takes a victory lap because man was he right all along with how AB would go over in Oakland. The Steelers just took a used condom and flushed it down the toilet and it came out in The Bay, never to be the same again. Poetic stuff from the Crowl Man. The Raiders are on the verge of suspending AB, and the GM Mike Mayock gave one of the longest press conferences in the history of the NFL Network. We play it back for you in it's entirety so be for warned and maybe eat something before you commit that much time to it. Stephen J. Nesbitt of The Athletic wrote a great piece on the Steelers new number 1 wide out, JuJu. He joins us to tell us about his piece....his story...I meant story not his actual piece, you know what never mind.
