Leo's Bio

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania... once again the City of Champions!!! Home to both the Vince Lombardi and Stanley Cup!!!

FYI... The Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates have all won championships within Detroit.

"I will diligently follow my teams, in all aspects.

Even in the face of extreme adversity, I will support them in hopes to overcome.

I will ensure never to bad-mouth, only to suggest improvements for my teams.

I will never quit, surrender, or give up on my teams.

Remember that on any given Sunday, during all nine innings, or until the buzzer sounds, there is always a chance.

Anything can, and has happened. Maybe with my helpful support, it will happen again."

I have never, nor will ever permit any betrayal of the oath taken towards my teams.

My city, my teams, and my people are as intrinsic to my being as my very soul, and I am incapable of betraying the oath, nay the binds that chain my being.

It is these very binds by which I live, breathe, and celebrate, through both the exhilaration of proving the greatness which I have come to know and the disillusionment of falling short of any goal, let alone an ultimate goal.

I am my teams and they are me, and I would have it no other way.

(All credit to Mr. Andrew Cahill for not only the inspiration, but the entire portion contained within quotations)

What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/261261-dear-bleacher-report-please-bring-back-the-old-format

As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.

If you get the chance, check out my newest article. What the future holds for the offensive line of the Steelers.

A lot of people may not agree with me, but I think in time, everyone will see that this is a real possibility.

There's still another year of football left to be played this decade.

But it's never too early for a list. Here is my NFL All-Decade team, position by position. Let me know what you think...
