Training Camp Opens.........

2023 Pittsburgh Steelers Team Needs 1.0 - Behind the Steel Curtain 

 

The Pittsburgh Steelers will begin training camp July 27th, 2023. How do things look for the 2023 Pittsburgh Steelers? 


Well, they did finish 2022 winning 7 of their last 9 games - narrowly missing the playoffs.    Some believe The Steelers had the best 2023 draft of the entire NFL.   Their off-season free agent signings filled needs.  This appears to be a team on the upswing.    Some even believe this may be a Super Bowl team.

 

Personally, I think that's stretching it a bit.  How the 2023 Steelers perform is largely based on the man in the middle above - Kenny Pickett.  Will he progress?  Will he regress?  Only time will tell.

 

I certainly believe The Pittsburgh Steelers are headed in the right direction.  There is plenty of reason for optimism.  I don't think they're there yet, though.  For 2023, I believe this is a 9, maybe 10 win team, tops.   Playoffs are possible, but I predict an early exit.  As a Steeler fan I certainly hope the team does better than that.  


Regular season begins Sept. 10th, in Pittsburgh, against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Most Inefficient Team in all of Professional Sports.......

    The New York Mets.  As I type this, The New York Mets have 46 wins and 52 losses.  They are in 4th place in the National League East, 17.5 games behind the division leading Atlanta Braves.   This may not be too bad especially when you consider The Mets are only 7 games away from a possible Wild Card playoff berth.  However, it's real bad when you consider what this team is being paid.  It's the highest payroll in baseball - in the area of 360 million dollars.  Add to this Steve Cohen, the owner of The Mets, will pay 110 million dollars in luxury tax - bringing the total amount spent on this team to around 470 million dollars.   By contrast, the currently most efficient team in baseball, The Baltimore Orioles.  First place in the American League East.  60 wins, 38 losses.  This for the price of 61 million dollars, with no luxury tax.   There are other teams in pro sports that suffer from inefficiency - but no one comes close to 2023 The New York Mets.  If they do miss the pl

The Best Player in Major League Baseball....

    Shohei Ohtani is currently the best player in Major League Baseball.     The Los Angeles Angels are in a very difficult position when it comes to Ohtani.  He will be a free agent at the end of this season.  The Angels will most likely lose him because free agency almost always ends in a bidding war - in which case The New York Mets and  owner Steve Cohen will win.  If I am running the Angels - I would most likely trade him before the August 1st deadline.  Otherwise he leaves and you get nothing for him.  We'll have to wait and see how it plays out......
