Color a lot of NFL teams disappointed. They felt with the new TV deals nearly completed, the salary cap might come in quite a bit higher than the $180-million floor that had been adjusted a few weeks back, up from $175 million.
This afternoon I was sitting in the kitchen browsing through my Observer-Reporter newspaper when my son-in-law, Mike, walked through. He was on his way to his part time job as caretaker at Camp Agape, the beautiful church camp in Hickory. That’s when he said something that brought joy to my …

For the most part, the WPIAL’s boys and girls basketball teams have made it to the end of the regular season. There are a few non-section games remaining to be played this week, and some league games tonight could shuffle the standings, but any regular-season game still to be played will hav…
“He was there for the birth of the Bentworth High School wrestling program. He was there when no one else was. He was there when no one else cared. He was there to agonize over all the losses, all the frustration, all the pain. For 15 years, Tom Teagarden was there for – as he would say – th…
It’s been a busy week for the Steelers despite nothing really happening.
I guess you could say that the firearm company I am talking about would fall into the third-place spot among the shooting fraternity. It has consistently held that third place over many years. I am talking today about the Ruger line of guns.
Seneca Valley pulled best wrestlers from starting lineup in finals.
The world lost a great football coach this past week when Marty Schottenheimer died. It lost an even better person.
It’s not unusual for the bull to fly when hunters and anglers get together. Anglers will be arguing the merit of their favorite bass or trout lure while hunters and target shooters will be arguing guns and cartridges
With the temporary closing of the Gun Show at Arden and now the closing of the annual sportsman show at the Washington Crown Center, things have been a little depressing around here lately. So that’s why I thought I’d write about something good that has been happening.

Every state in the United States has a special icon that can go so far as to become bigger than the city and sometimes the state itself.
This week has been a little boring what with being shut in the house because of Covid-19. It used to be on these cold snowy days that I could still go out and scout for deer or take walks in the fresh snow. But these days it seems I am trapped indoors. Time seems to go faster while I move sl…
The Steelers caused something of an uproar locally when they announced the signing of former Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins to a futures contract.

As the playoffs begin, the Steelers have one thing the majority of the AFC playoff field doesn’t have – a quarterback with plenty of playoff experience.
I have heard described as “meat hungry” persons whose whole pleasure supposedly comes from the kill. They’re supposed to be blood thirsty egotists who must prove their superiority over that which they seek. Is that what hunting is all about? I doubt it.
Did the Steelers figure something out at halftime of their 28-24 win over the Colts last week?
There it was, no mistakes in bold type, a Winchester Model 70 for $129.95. That was the price of a brand new Pre 64 Model 70 as presented in the book I was skimming over.

This week was the last week of the regular deer season. Usually after deer season, I start to think about the gun show at Arden, which normally gets me through an otherwise very boring time of the year. Every year the gun show is a big draw in our area. The crowds are unbelievable. People fl…

The Steelers were due for a stinker. I mean a real stinker.
