Steelers Rookie Camp, Ben’s Degree, TNT and Prayers for Seau Family
Posted on May 11, 2012 by Karon Cook
Shooting on location at Firebird in Dunwoody, GA ~ Karon Cook reports on this week’s Hot Topics. She sends thoughts and prayers from the Steeler Nation to the Seau Family (another loss to suicide); indeed a tragedy. On a lighter note, congrats to Big Ben, receiving his degree from Miami of Ohio….way to go!!! Steelers have Rookie Camp this week end and we’re keeping an eye on homegrown boy, Conor Dixon ~ lots of promise there. Along with Drew Butler from Georgia ~ one of the nation’s top punters. On last week’s TNT (Thursday Night Tailgate) the stories that Andy Russell and Kendall Simmons told were priceless (at the time of this taping, former DE Tim Johnson was scheduled to be a guest on tonight’s Show). Check back next week…as Karon gets all the insider info from the ‘Burgh and brings it!
