Sorry about being off the last few days. From August through most of April I am seemingly directly connected to the computer at all times. That means lots of things get neglected until now.

Not that I’m missing a lot.

In Harrisburg, the mayor has declared May, “LeSean McCoy Month.”

May is now LeSean McCoy’s favorite month. Harrisburg Mayor Stephen R. Reed read a proclamation this afternoon that pronounced May “LeSean McCoy Month” in Harrisburg, after the former Bishop McDevitt High School football star was drafted by the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles.

McCoy received the honor in a brief ceremony at City Hall. He stood with his father, Ron McCoy, and said his entry into the NFL has been like living a childhood dream.

Just imagine what would have happened if he had been drafted in the first round. I guess that’s one way to encourage McCoy to keep repping “717” in the eyeblack.

Staying in the 717, Coach Dave Wannstedt will be in Lancaster next Wednesday, May 12, as the featured speaker at the Manheim Touchdown Club banquet. It is the rubber chicken circuit time of the year for Coach Wannstedt and the rest of the Pitt coaching staff.

Just wondering. Would it be a good idea for Coach Wannstedt to join the coach Twittering? I’m not sure we want Twitter updates at halftime to say, “We need to get FASTER!!!”
