In ACC Tournament opener, Pitt confronts Irish team that still believes it can win, even with losing record
If you thought it was maddening to root for Pitt this season, you should talk to a Notre Dame fan. The Irish (14-17, 8-12) experienced five-, four-, three- and two-game (twice) losing streaks but still found a way to wriggle their way into the ACC Tournament as the No. 12...
Mark Madden: With DK Metcalf in the fold, it's time for Steelers to change their dynamic
Full props to the Pittsburgh Steelers for acquiring wide receiver DK Metcalf from Seattle for a second-round draft pick. That’s not too pricey. Signing Metcalf to a five-year, $150-million contract is. The Steelers are paying two guys quarterback money. But neither plays quarterback. That’s OK. A bold move was needed...
Tim Benz: How I want the Steelers' dominoes to fall after landing DK Metcalf
I like the Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to trade for Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf. It may be costing them a lot of money (a four-year, $132 million extension on top of $18 million this year), but it only cost them a second-round draft pick. That’s a second-round draft pick...

Willing to play wherever for the Pirates, Nick Yorke wants 'to prove Ben Cherington right'
Now that Nick Yorke made his major-league debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates, it makes sense that the 22-year-old doesn’t want to talk about being ranked among their top 10 prospects anymore. Prospect rankings never meant much to Yorke, who was listed at No. 96 by Baseball America and No. 139...
Penguins forward prospect Tristan Broz is winning and learning in his first pro season 
Tristan Broz was simply doing his job as the second-line center of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. On a Tuesday. That’s nothing really out of the ordinary for a minor league hockey player at any level, but playing a game in the middle of the week is one of the myriad of...

Robert Morris men, 2 wins from NCAA Tournament, hope winning recipe continues
You’ve probably heard about all the hoopla surrounding the Robert Morris men’s basketball team. It’s been quite an intriguing story.
