Back to regular scheduled programming as I missed last week due to a much needed rest, but I’ve been watching all the sportsball. Let’s dive in. MLB: Dodgers Dynasty Mode Activated The Dodgers are the Yankees of the late ’90s/early ’00s. Fans are even calling them the Evil Empire, a moniker once attributed to the New York bombers. Dynasties, like low-cut jeans, are back in … Continue reading Monday Musings 10.20

It has been a minute. This summer has already been filled with all the sports and entertainment a girl could ask for. First, I saw Beyoncé in Chicago in mid-May at Soldier Field (wow I can say I’ve been on an NFL field.) It was like my World Series. I was going to say my Super Bowl, but I saw my Packers beat the Steelers … Continue reading Sarah’s Summer Update
Let me explain what WAGs and SOAPs mean: WAGs stands for “wives and girlfriends” of professional athletes. The term has always felt uncomfortable to me, though I’ve struggled to articulate exactly why. After working in various baseball front offices and spending time with WAGs and helping players’ families, I’ve realized how exclusionary (and yes, still unsettling) this term truly is. People say sports imitates life … Continue reading Why We Need to Retire ‘WAGs’ and Embrace ‘SOAPs’ in Professional Sports

Her response? “Oh, … Continue reading Dad Vibes
It took thirteen innings on a cold but sunny April day in Pittsburgh, but somebody had to do it—and yesterday, that somebody was Joey Bart. I had a free afternoon, so I figured I’d catch a baseball game and get myself to God’s country. Luckily, I was sitting in the sun because it was otherwise pretty nippy. My nose actually got sunburned! Anyway, neither the … Continue reading Joey Bart’s a Hero and Other Musings
The morning began with a steady stream of ambitious undergraduate and graduate students filing into a conference room overlooking the Ohio river. Through the windows, Pittsburgh’s unpredictable spring weather put on a show—snowflakes dancing in the wind one moment, sunshine breaking through the clouds the next. Inside, about 50 students gathered around black-clothed tables, their padfolios and blazers marking them as eager prospective sports communication … Continue reading Inside the 2025 Steelers Student Communications Summit
Today’s the day! The tank is clean. Baseball is back, baby! Opening Day of Major League Baseball should be a national holiday. If baseball truly is America’s pastime, why don’t we, as a nation, get the day off? The Super Bowl should also be on the Sunday before Presidents’ Day so everyone gets the next day off. America needs to lean into leisure more and … Continue reading Today’s the day!
What a weekend of sports! Did I call that Lando would win or what?! In a race that had more plot twists than a Netflix series, The Australian Grand Prix was chaotic in every sense of the word. Max seemed unusually happy with a second-place finish, maybe because he actually had fun racing or perhaps the taste of humble pie isn’t so bad after all. … Continue reading Monday Morning Madness
Big weekend in sports! Golf! Racecars! This weekend, I’ll be firmly glued to my couch, training for the Olympics of laziness while watching competitions.
