My favorite time of year is finally here. It's now week 2 of the NFL Preseason and I get to watch my favorite team with two of my kiddos. The crazy thing is that tonight my team is playing the team that two of my sons like. We are die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fans in my family, but two claim to be Kansas City Chiefs fans. I think they've lost their minds.
It's funny because any other week of the season they're sitting right here with me cheering on the Steelers. That's all the proof I need that deep down they bleed Black & Gold just like the rest of the family.
It's been a sad week in Steelers Nation. Sunday, WR Coach Darryl Drake passed away. The team held a Moment of Silence before the game, and will wear "DD" stickers on their helmets this season in Coach Drake's honor. He was so much more than a coach to these men. Some considered him a mentor, and for others he was a friend or father figure. Football is family, and Coach Drake will definitely be missed.
Alright Steelers, play this one for Coach.
