Big Ben to sit out Steelers game Friday

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told Teresa Valley, from Steelers.com and other reporters today that Friday’s opening pre-season game against Detroit will be a chance for a lot of younger players to show case their talents as many of the Steelers veteran starters will not be playing. Topping the list of players that will not play is quarterback  Ben Roethlisberger. Even though Coach Tomlin has not ruled any one out the likely hood of players such as   receiver Antonio Brown, running backs Le’Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams, and center Maurkice Pouncey playing is  marginal. Tomlin did go on to say that it’s ‘reasonable’ receiver Markus Wheaton, cornerback Artie Burns, linebacker Travis Feeney and defensive tackle Roy Philon will not play because of lack of time on the field due to their injuries. “I’m going to put together a schedule of participation for those guys but that schedule probably won’t be in this first preseason game,” said Tomlin. “We’re going play it by ear and deal with their overall readiness toward the regular season on a week-to-week basis, but they won’t be participating this week.”
Tune into Beaver County Radio WBVP/WMBA Friday August 12, 2016 for Steelers pre-game at 5pm followed by the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers live from Heinz Field for Game one of the Steelers pre-season.

Beaver Borough Council Disapproves Of Beer Sales in ‘Dry Town’

Beaver Borough Council has voted to disapprove of beer sales at a waffle restaurant located in the borough’s business district. Three weeks ago, the owners of Waffles INCaffeinated began offering beer from Beaver Brewing Company for sale three nights a week. It was the first time in nearly 82 years that beer has been allowed to be sold in the town. But last night, the resolution passed 8 to 1, meaning the council disapproved of the sale of beer by Beaver Brewing Co. and Waffles INCafienated. Beaver Brewing owner Dan Woodske tells Beaver County Radio newsman Pat Septak that he was surprised by the vote and doesn’t know why council voted it down. But he says last night’s vote doesn’t change anything since he still plans to sell beer in Beaver.

Jimmie Johnson reveals Darlington Throw Back Scheme

Hendrick Motorsports unveiled the No. 48 Chevrolet that Jimmie Johnson will drive Labor Day weekend at Darlington Raceway on Wednesday, flashing a throwback paint scheme that pays tribute to NASCAR Hall of Famers David Pearson and Dale Earnhardt.

Johnson’s car will maintain primary sponsorship by Lowe’s Home Improvement for theBojangles’ Southern 500 on Sept. 4, but with a retro-themed look for NASCAR’s annual throwback weekend.
