“Today is a sad day in the city of Pittsburgh as we lost a legendary person, media icon and close friend with the passing of Stan Savran,” Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II said in a statement. The area’s professional sports teams – the Penguins Pirates and Steelers – all offered condolences to Savran’s family, as did various personalities and fans in the locale.

I think this is the year where he really turns the corner and everybody in the football world will take notice.” “Me personally, Arthur Smith has done a real good job. “They have improved in regards to talent, especially if you’re looking at a year ago,” McFadden said in an interview with The Morning Shift on 92.9 The Game. CBS Sports analyst and former National Football League cornerback Bryant McFadden believes the upcoming season could be the year the Falcons capitalize on a weaker division and claim the NFC South for the first time since 2016.
