Heard a lot of people saying No Aaron Rodgers. Ladies selling me beer who loved my Gritty shirt said that too. NFL execs really let their politics make decisions for them.
Pitt is really into their sports teams like Philly - pretty cool. Too bad they don't have a professional baseball team anymore.
London guy was in 2014 St. Paul.
Heard no Aaron today also. Thank God!
We’ve got that new “huge” quarterback that we can wait to mature but you’ve got to let him play first.
Yes we are, for good reason, but baseball, don’t even get me started. We will never be able to keep Skenes. Owner is too cheap. Story of our existence. However, most Pgh fans are fair weather fans and I can say that cause I’m from here and it’s true.
And forgot, it’s awesome have more than one city in the same state doing well. That said, go Phillies!!!!!
It's hard to admit this, but I had a fantastic time in Pittsburgh. Didn't get to The Strip until Sunday - what an awesome neighborhood! Did you guys tell me about this area???

.. or Delta. Ground stop in MSP caused us to be delayed, only 20 minutes or so. Our connecting flight was literally the next gate over, so we deplaned and hustled over to the other plane which was boarding. And then we hoped, in vain, that our bags were among the ones they loaded at the last minute. Arrived in San Diego after midnight without even a toothbrush. :-(
Great shows, great to make the trip and see family.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
Our drive home Monday turned out to be sucky as well. The normally 8 hour drive to Illinois turned into an 11 hour funfest. Both West bound lanes of I-70 were closed due to an accident. It took us 2.5 hours to go less than 5 miles. The added bonus was that the delay caused us to have to go through Indianapolis during the afternoon commute traffic. It was still a great weekend though!

I-70 in Illinois is easily one of the rings of hell.
These shows felt very special to me. I already cannot wait for the bootlegs!
Yeah, they are very much still with me today.

It was between the Ohio border and Indianapolis about 10 miles West of Richmond, but yes I-70 in Illinois sucks. My SIL is an Illinois State trooper, and I-70 is part of his patrol area. He has tons of stories about stupid crap that happens on it. It sucks in Indiana and Missouri too. I hate that interstate.
@BeerBaron@Ryan and I made our way to Pizza Parma after the 2nd show and the slices were delicious. Perfect send off to the PIT shows!
Thanks again Pittsburgh!

Still ISO that elusive N1 T-shirt (in 2x) to commemorate what was the most meaningful moment for me as a PJ fan ever.
So, I actually have one of these (with the truck on the back, yes?) in XXL. I got it for my husband -- he wanted a large but my choices were S, 2X or 3X.
I'll see how he feels about parting with it. I know he was making noises about how maybe I could use it as a nightshirt, so it's quite possible that he'll have no issue with letting go of it.

but the number of couples and small concert buddy groups carrying around 12+ posters and multiple skate decks and who knows what else in their overstuffed bags was disgusting.
That and they're usually the same folks always up front. One tandem in particular that's pretty infamous dating back to the BRY era. Some people never grow out of taking advantage of all things at every turn.
