BLACK-N-GOLD THANKSGIVING

     Happy Thanksgiving one and all! Mrs. Black-N-Gold has much to be thankful for this year, her family and friends and everyone who enjoys reading this little Black-N-Gold Blog. She's also thankful for her favorite Black-N-Gold teams, our Steelers, Pens and Pirates. In the spirit of the holiday, today she lists what she's thankful for on Black-N-Gold Thanksgiving.

STEELERS

Mrs. Black-N-Gold is thankful for QB Ben Roethlisberger. Without him, where would our Steelers be? We had to find out the hard way a few times this season when Ben was injured. Face it, the team goes and Ben goes and he gives them the best chance at a Super Bowl. It's great that we have the otherwordly WR Antonio Brown but AB woudn't be so BA without Big Ben. It wasn't always that way. The Steeler faithful have had to endure many, many growing pains but these days Ben is at the top of his game as he leads the team both on the field and off it. Thank you, Ben!

PENGUINS

Speaking of players that are at the top of the profession, how about Pens G Marc-Andre Fleury? While our Pens continue to search for offense and find their identity, Flower has bee there every step of the way, pulling their fat out of the fire. Really, would the Pens be as good as they are if they didn't have Flower in goal? Mrs. Black-N-Gold doesn't think so. No doubt about it, MAF is MVP. Thank you, Flower!

PIRATES

Yes, our Pirates have arguably the best player in the game in CF Andrew McCutchen. And this is another case of the team goes as Cutch goes. But without the right leadership, this team goes nowhere. That's why Mrs. Black-N-Gold is thankful for Pirates skipper Clint Hurdle and GM Neal Huntington. It was Hurdle's hire that helped right the ship in Pittsburgh. I brought with him a winning attitude that inspired this organization from top to bottom, ending a 20-odd-year playoff drought in the process. And hats off to NH. He is almost as thrifty as Mrs. Black-N-Gold. He makes the most out of the pittance of a budget that owner Bottom Dollar Bob Nutting throws his way. Now it's time for these 2 to take it to the next level. No more fooling around with Wild Cards. Thank you, Clint and Neal!

     Thank you everyone! Let's Go Steelers!!!!!! Let's Go Pens!!! Let's Go Pirates!!!!!!
