J. C. Sirimarco (aka J. Cheever Loophole, Rufus T. Firefly, Joe Cool, The WiseGuy and a whole slew of other nicknames) is basically a literate, semi-smart, aging but still rabid sports fan who has been around a while. While his expertise is generally in the sport of baseball, having played the game for 27 years, he is a rather analytical mind who has learned much about a number of other sports and is as well-versed to write, comment, pontificate, etc., as anyone else who is not a professional.
Born and raised in Black & Gold Country (that's western Pennsylvania, for those of you who attended public school in the last 30 years or so), but now living in the Seattle area, he has earned BS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and an MBA in Finance. And as anyone who has earned an MBA can tell you, nobody earns an MBA in this nation without being able to write (and write, and write, and write and....).
So, while his writing may be the greatest thing since peanut butter and chocolate, or the worst thing since liver and onions, you can always count on him to be opinionated, blunt, direct, sometimes entertaining, and basically General George S. Patton without the profanity.
And, of course, you can count on him to be an eternal, undying fan of all sports Pittsburgh, while also being the one of the most critical commentators of his beloved Pittsburgh teams that there is.
Probably. Tomlin has tended to let his coaches have free reign to do things, which I thought was a good thing at first, because Cowher restricted...

I am largely in agreement with you. This has been a season-long issue. I wrote a similar article after Week #3: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/262503-questionable-fourth-quarter-coaching-costs-steelers-another-loss#poll Arians is the weakest...

Well, concerning our beloved Pittsburgh Steelers I think that we can honestly say (with apologies to Oliver Hardy), "That's another fine mess you've gotten yourselves into." But don't blame Dennis Dixon for the loss to the Ravens...
Great article. Only problem is that it seems that the fans are the only people realizing the problem. I have wrote similar articles. As far as...
Reed was signed because he can kick field goals in Heinz field, which most kickers have a hard time doing. I would take someone that can...
Joseph Sirimarco replied…
I agree. He probably has a stronger leg than Reed, and that's all you really need...
