John Steigerwald Show. Mon-Fri 5-6PM on AM1250 The Answer. 46 years in Pgh media. Author “Just Watch The Game.” Citizen of US & Canada. Pronouns amuse me. QTL
John Fetterman didn’t pay his school taxes from 2006-2019. Woodland Hills filed 36 lien’s against his property. He was living on an allowance from his parents. Solid citizen.
Sidney Crosby is the most perfect athlete ever to play for a Pittsburgh team. On and off the ice. Outplayed the hype. Won 3 championships. Perfect ambassador for his team, his league, his city and his country. There will never be another one like him.
When 19,000 college kids test positive for Covid 19 and NOT ONE is hospitalized it might be time to accept the fact that positive tests are no longer worth reporting.
When Tomlin went for three instead of trying to get the touchdown the Steelers’ bus should’ve driven on to the field, picked them up and taken them to the airport.
Fetterman got 81% of the vote in Philadelphia County and 62% in Allegheny County. A difference of 350,000 votes. More proof that Democrats in those counties would vote for a mannequin with a D after its name.
You get what you vote for.
What an embarrassment.

Imagine being the San Jose Sharks and not trying to force their players to do their virtue signaling for them. Imagine letting all the fans come to the game and Just Watch The Game. Imagine shutting up and dropping the puck.
Pittsburgh’s most perfect athlete. More than lived up to the hype. Became one of 5 best players ever in his sport.
Won 3 Championships. No contract disputes. 100% cooperation with the media. 18 years and you won’t find anybody who will say a bad word about him.
She’s not annoying. The media who cover her every move are annoying.Why shouldn’t she be allowed to cheer for her boyfriend? The network televising the game isn’t required to show her reaction to every play. The media aren’t required to show her coming and going. Leave her alone
I’m told Al’s Cafe in Bethel is staying open today. There is a rally going on there right now. Should be happening at every restaurant in Pennsylvania.
How is using video to steal signs in baseball any worse than stealing signs in football. After the 2001 AFC Chamiopnsip loss to NE, Hines Ward said “It seemed like they knew what we were doing before the play.” Belichick and the Patriots got off easy.
Everyone should hope to love their job 1/10 as much as Stan Savran loved his. Did a lot of laughing in our sports “office” at Channel 4 and in lots of press boxes. Great guy. RIP
When will the NHL be having a Christian night when players will wear jerseys with crosses on them for warmups? How about Jewish night and the Star of David? How about just sticking to hockey?
22 yrs ago tonight Mario Lemieux, 35 years old, came back after 3 1/2 years off. Scored 7 points in his first 2 games, 35 goals 41 assists in 43 games. Was the best player in the NHL when he set foot on the ice. Best player player I’ve ever seen in any team sport. It’s not close
We need a massive movement to create a huge turnover in Congress. Both parties. Pressure everyone who’s been their longer than 16 years to go home. Too many people in both parties have been there way too long.
Happy to say that I am getting my own radio show. Starting in a few weeks. It won't be a sports show but it won't NOT be a sports show,either. Kind of like what you get from me here on Twitter. The kind of show I've wanted to do for a long time. Details soon.
The guys on The Fan saying they’ll go to Pirates games because they love baseball. That’s nice. They love baseball because of what baseball in Pgh used to be. Current ownership benefits from success of long ago Pirates with no chance of ever repeating that success. Puke material
Having Pitt and WVU two schools 75 miles away from each other with 100 yr old rivalry in the same conference? Makes way too much sense for college football.
Yeah. Hope you enjoyed halftime. And the commercials and the six hour pregame show. As the title of my best selling book -that you could never dream of having says-Just Watch The Game. Your writing career peaked at WVU beat writer. Minor leaguer for life
Most people who aren’t gay don’t care if you’re gay. Most people who aren’t gay don’t hate you if you’re gay. Most people who aren’t gay are probably getting tired of hearing about you being gay. Think about giving it a rest.
The Pirates stink. They have a pitcher in AAA with an 0.39 ERA who’s striking everybody out. Forget the contract ramifications and whether you have comtrol in 2027 or 2028. Bring him up. Pack the park when he pitches. Create some excitement. Act like a contender. Or shut up.,
The fact that Chuck Noll took over the worst professional sports franchise in American history and wanted to get rid of everybody, but not only kept him and made him captain of the best defense ever tells you all you need to know about how good Andy Russell was.
Mike Tomlin says they’ll be doing things differently this week. After the players see Pickens’ lack of effort on the goal line on the game film, Tomlin should quietly deactivate him for the game this week. THAT would be different.
Pickett showed why he was picked in the first round tonight. He throws on the run as well as any QB in the league and he has a major league fastball when he needs it.
Steelers should have nipped this in the bid. Told Brown “We’re not trading you. You play for us or you don’t get paid.” Should’ve told the other 31 teams not to bother calling them. “This guy plays for us or he doesn’t play.” And should have taken no calls from his agent.
What a great piece. Always liked this guy. He has every right to be bitter. He’s not. People still blame him for losses in AFC Championship games. Both years HE was the reason they were there. Media were terribly unfair to him. Fans were idiots. Good guy.
The Steelers just completed the worst two weeks for any over .500 team in NFL history.
And they did it in 4 days.
At home.
They had some really bad teams from 1932-70. Never lost back to back home games to 10 loss teams.
Really bad.
Memorial Day ...sunny. 85. Fields empty. Basketball courts padlocked. Kids are in NO danger from the Wuhan Virus and they aren’t carrying it to adults. Open the pools/courts for the kids. Stop being stupid.
Keep in mind Rudolph hadn’t played in a game in 2 years. Dismissed by so many in the media as not an NFL QB. He’s the Steelers best QB and he was before tonight.
Everyone will have nice things to say about Tunch Ilkin now that he has died. It happens with everybody. But it’s rare to find a guy who never had anyone say anything bad about him when he was alive. Tunch was one one of those guys. What a nice guy he was. RIP.
Liberals in sports media will make fun of Phillip Rivers because his wife is pregnant with her 10th child. They wouldn’t dream of making fun of players who have multiples kids with multiple women, none of whom is their wife.
Kristie Noem left college to take over the family ranch after her father was killed in an accident. Took courses on line. Got a political science degree in 2012. Ended up as Governor. Kicks ass on a regular basis. Want a role model for your daughter? She’s it.
Kids should not be allowed to have cell phones in school. Amazing that anybody would disagree with that. At this point, separating them from their phones for 6 hours a day would do more for them than anything they’re taught the classroom.
So Pfizer is admitting that the Covid vaccine never prevented transmission. And we now know that masks never worked. Lots of people who refused the vax are owed an apology. Kyrie Irving would be a good place to start.
Call it a niche sport. Let ESPN obsess about the NBA. Let people who call themselves sports fans ignore it and or/ ridicule it. There is no sport that is in the same universe as the last 10 minutes of Penguins-Caps Game 4 for speed, excitement , intensity, violence or skill. None
If Allegheny County elects a socialist to be County Executive, they’ll get what they deserve. If you need me, I’ll be out here in Warshington Cahnty with the gun toting, racist, sexist, homophobic hicks, laughing.
With no teeth, of course.
Crosby’s OT goal last nite was as great as anything I ever saw Mario Lemieux do. And that’s saying something. And for him to do it in front of a,crowd that thinks the best player in the world plays for their team is exactly what guys from another planet do. Ridiculous.
Here’s an idea for an ad. Split screen. Trump honors 100 yr old Tuskegee airman. Pelosi Rios up script. Trump mentions lowest unemployment for blacks, women etc. Pelosi rips up script. Trump awards 4th grader a scholarship. Pelosi rips up script.
No need to thank me.
Imagine the Steelers or Penguins having 29 losing seasons in the last 36 years. That’s your Pittsburgh Pirates. Another way to look at it-imagine the Penguins having 7 winning seasons since Lemieux was drafted in 1984. PNC Park should be empty on Opening Day.
Sidney Crosby and Mario Lemieux are number one and number two greatest players in Pittsburgh sports history. No other athlete in any sport reached the level of undisputed best.
Let me see if I have this right. It’s ok to make fun of Phillip Rivers for having 9 kids with his wife but not the ok to make fun of guys who have 5 or 6 kids with 5 different women?
As of right now Antonio Brown has retired and Le’Veon Bell has 3 yards on four carries and his team is losing 20 to nothing in the second quarter. Post Steelers careers are going well.
Just the other day Alexandria Overrated Cortez said that the American concept of rags to riches or “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a joke. She’s a congresswoman. A year and a half ago she was a bartender. And she is a moron.
Sidney Crosby scored his 30th goal last night. He’s 35. Pretty impressive. Mario Lemieux scored 35 when he was 35.
41 assists .
In 43 games.
After not playing for 3 1/2 seasons.
Best player I’ve ever seen in any team sport.
Ever.

Kirtsen: But liberals are always claiming to be the compassionate ones. Sensitive. Non-bullying. Never judging based on appearance. This is proof that that is a steaming pile of horse manure. You've ceded the high ground you thought you had but never did. Hypocrisy.
