As a life-long Pittsburgher who always has access to KDKA TV, I was beginning to fade in and out during the second half of last Saturday night’s preseason game between the Steelers and Lions at Heinz Field.
I’m not talking about my cable feed. No, I’m talking about my consciousness.
The Steelers starters had dominated this supposed dress-rehearsal matchup against Detroit in the first half, and I was having a hard time watching all of these future engineers, teachers and football movie consultants struggle to maintain what had been a 23-0 lead.
I wasn’t nervous or anything; I was just bored.
