Larry Fitzgerald going in the Hall of Fame. PLUS Kenny Pickett AND Kedon Slovis in the Hall of Fame Game?! It’s a Pitt-splosion!
Larry Fitzgerald caught 121 touchdowns from 16 different quarterbacks during his NFL career Here’s the list of QBs he caught touchdowns from and the number of TD passes from each. Top three WR of all-time IMO.
Mike Tomlin on the best division in the NFL: “The NFC West. It’s Game of Thrones out there: everyone dies.”
Former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and former Pitt wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
This thread. Wow. This guy is an actual psychopath that is fucking with his child's comfort and happiness. He should be in a prison never being allowed near this kid again. He's torturing her. Dems should absolutely blast this out. Every parent can relate to a situation with a kids stuffy.
Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · 3d agoNEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)
From the NFL transactions wire, a former Pitt player named Aaron Donald tried out for the Los Angeles Rams today.
Steelers first preseason depth chart. Rookie Max Iheanchor second team RT behind Dylan Cook. QBs: Rodgers Rudolph Howard Allar Rookie safety Robert Spears-Jennings listed as the backup SS to DeShon Elliott.
Asked multiple Pitt players to name a teammate poised for a breakout season. One name that came up multiple times is sophomore safety Josh Guerrier. Mason Heintschel is one of the players who named Guerrier, called him “a special player.”
Narduzzi on facing James Franklin again this fall Says they have a great relationship. Says he's a hell of a football coach and he's talked to him several times since Franklin was hired at Virginia Tech.
Narduzzi regarding the players--Blue Hicks, Zion Ferguson, and Tyreek Robinson--who were cited for riding dirt bikes in Oakland recently: "Obviously, very disappointed" but says he's going to let the legal prcoess play out. All are participating in camp at the moment.
Narduzzi: "talk about twists and turns and U-turns" on the state of college football and recent rulings about eligibility.
Narduzzi says he thinks are "some good things" about the Protect College Sports Act and he's had conversations with people in Congress, but says Pitt will deal with it if it passes.
Narduzzi says Boosie Turner is begging to return kickoffs. "He doesn't want to come off the field."
Narduzzis says Malik Knight had some great catches today, says he has elite speed. Also says CJ Lee had some nice catches too.
Pat Narduzzi says QB Mason Heintschel was "on fire" at this morning's practice, the first of Pitt's 2026 training camp.
Today is Pitt’s media day. I wonder if any of the players we talk to today will offer their opinion on conspiracy theories and infectious disease!
Over on Twitter, someone asked for someone else to sexually assault me over a tweet about college football. Getting really, really tired of the constant misogyny, attacks on my looks, attacks on my weight (i’ve lost like 55 lbs since my profile pic was taken, just haven’t bothered to update it)
Pitt LB Braylan Lovelace says Mason Heintschel came over to the defensive side of the sideline during a game last year to give a little pep talk. Lovelace says he’s never seen a QB do that and for a freshman QB to do so “is unheard of.”
Pitt OT Ryan Baer is heading into his fifth year with the Panthers and says there’s something different about the 2026 squad. Baer: “There’s a level of unselfishness to this team that we haven’t seen before.”
Pitt QB Mason Heintschel on Sirius XM says he told Pat Narduzzi ahead of his first start against Boston College, “you play me this week, we will win.”
Pat Narduzzi says on Sirius XM that the day Mason Heintschel received a lucrative offer from Miami and re-committed to Pitt, that he called Duke coach Manny Diaz and told him he better watch out. QB Darian Mensah would later wind up transferring to Miami.

I had an allergic reaction to something last night and apparently made it to the ER in time that it didn’t progress further. I started to feel unwell, a little nauseous. Over the next hour, I vomitted multiple times, my lips swelled up, and my voice was completely hoarse.
