Kudos to Cleveland for embracing change, unlike Pittsburgh: Letter to the Editor

I just want to let you know how impressed I was during an early May visit to the city of Cleveland. It has been years since I have visited. You should be proud of what city government along with residents have done to make it so welcoming. Everyone we met was friendly and very hospitable.

I have lived in Pittsburgh most of my life and have seen the decline of that city economically and visually, as well as how unsafe it has become due to daily violence. So, as I compare these two cities, I see that one city government has had vision and was not afraid of change, while the other (Pittsburgh) is stuck in the mud with little-to-no vision on how to change. I want to give credit where credit is due.

I look forward to taking many more trips to visit Cleveland with my family. Having vision, taking chances and showing residents where their tax dollars go can help make people feel more vested and better able to appreciate the city in which they live.

Commanders sign athletic former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback

Commanders sign athletic former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback

The Washington Commanders have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Darius Rush to a reserve/future contract, the team announced.

Rush joined Washington in August after he was released by the Cleveland Browns, and spent the entire season with the team. Now, he will get a chance to showcase what he can do in the offseason and make a roster push.

Rush was also previously with the Kansas City Chiefs, but was waived/injured at the beginning of training camp.

The Steelers released Rush in last October, freeing him up to become a member of the Chiefs. He initially made the active roster, but after a rough preseason, the team went in another direction to locate some help, which they found in James Pierre.

Rush, a 2023 fourth-round pick out of South Carolina by the Indianapolis Colts, was cut by the Colts out of training camp. The Chiefs proceeded to claim Rush off waivers following his release, before the Steelers then signed him weeks later in 2023.

With Pittsburgh, Rush took on the role of dimebacker against the Tennessee Titans a season ago, playing 21 snaps in his NFL regular-season debut. He would win a starting gunner role to start the year in Pittsburgh, but not hold onto it after pressure from Pierre.
