Bill Cowher and Mario Lemieux have some weighty decisions in front of them. And an entire city (well, at least the sports loving portion) holds its breath. It's hard to imagine Pittsburgh and the Steelers without the gutsy, emotional and very talented Cowher. And Kansas City already got the last Wild Card spot in the AFC playoffs. Do they really need to take the Penguins from us too?
| I know everyone is saying that Bill Cowher has earned his chance to retire and spend time with his family. As someone who believes that family should always come first, I definitely agree. But why isn't anyone asking him to stay anyway? We all want him to. Yes, we have some great alternatives in Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm (who are both interviewing with other teams to add to the shakeups), but Cowher is a big part of the Steelers heart and soul and I think the Steelers are a big part of his heart and soul too. If he decides to hang it up, he will be very sorely missed. Should he stay or should he go? |
| Meanwhile, the Kansas City Star is reporting that Kansas City officials believe their offer for the Penguins is far superior to the offer from Pittsburgh. In Kansas City, the Penguins wouldn't have to help finance a new arena since it's already been built, and they would also have the opportunity to become partners in the management of the building. It's definitely a sweet deal. But is Kansas City really going to support a hockey team like Pittsburgh does? It didn't turn out so well the last time around. Or is Lemieux really serious about keeping the team here, and hoping the discussions with other cities helps to speed up the arena talks in Pittsburgh? Should they stay or should they go? |
