Just Watch the Game Book

"Just Watch the Game" is not your typical Pittsburgh Sports book. No punches are pulled here. John Steigerwald honors the good guys and great performances that he has covered and he trashes the bad guys. Steigerwald also remember the good-old days when watching and playing sports were about the games. Before "snack moms" and everybody getting a trophy. If you're of a certain age, it will bring back fond memories. If you're too young to have experienced it, as my Dad used to say, Read this. You might learn something.
