Former newspaper guy. Yes, I like pina coladas, college football, the Steelers and soccer. Take nothing I post seriously - unless it's about BBQ or beer.

Steelers star TJ Watt is expected to play again this season following surgery on his partially collapsed lung after a dry needling treatment, sources say.

Sometimes this heals on its own. This didn't, so surgery was necessary. A scary 24 hours. But full recovery expected.

Please tell me a Harley was involved.
Release by the Pittsfield Charter Township states its police department responded to an "alleged assault" with an unnamed suspect taken into custody. They are not releasing additional details, citing the nature of the allegations and the need to maintain the integrity of the investigation.

Mark my words:

In the short term, this deal is a win for Utah, but in the long term they will regret it. Private equity money kills everything it touches. Everything.
Sources: University of Utah nearing landmark private equity deal expected to generate $500 million
The new venture would generate a massive amount of money for the school in a groundbreaking move that may pave the way for more schools and conferences to do the same.
