About

My name is John and I'm here because I'm a huge sports fan. I'm a teacher and a coach at a small school in Pennsylvania. I've been a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan since the early 1970's. I'm a graduate of Penn State University with a degree in education. I teach science and history and I'm the head coach of our school's track and field and cross country teams.

My goal on this website is to talk about sports with the best fan base in the world... THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS!
