Pittsburgh Exploring Pro Basketball
The city of Pittsburgh is exploring whether or not they could support a pro basketball team, per WPXI. Pittsburgh’s Sports and Exhibition Authority is paying $90,000 for a feasibility study to look at the demand for an NBA or WNBA team in Pittsburgh. It’s only a matter of time before the NBA expands, and while locations like Las Vegas or a return to Seattle may be more likely in Pittsburgh, the city has shown itself to be a good host to three other major professional sports franchises in the Steelers, Pirates and Penguins, so an NBA team isn’t completely out of the realm of possibility.
The study will likely help determine just how hard the city wants to push for a new team whenever NBA expansion does arise. For now though, you can see how Pittsburgh would do as an NBA franchise in the NBA 2k video game series, as the city remains an option for expansion or relocation.
Kiya Tomlin Cooking On Talk Pittsburgh

Lil Dicky On Not Just Football
Pittsburgh Steelers DE Cameron Heyward has been having a variety of guests on his Not Just Football podcast during Super Bowl week, and his most recent guest was rapper Lil Dicky.

Now a rapper and actor, Burd stars in his critical-acclaimed semi-biographical show Dave and just released his album Penith featuring music from the show.
