Finally, 'The Walking Dead' gets back on its feet

I'm not sure about you, but before Sunday's episode of "The Walking Dead" I was getting antsy.

I knew things were building while Rick and crew were in Alexandria, but I wanted more.

Maybe the way Season 4 wrapped up and the march through Season 5 spoiled me.

I knew conflicts just had to be coming.

Well, here they come.

And just in the nick of time, too.

I won't get into spoilers if you haven't seen it. But things are brewing.

(I do want to point out that those residents of Alexandria sure seem like wimps.)

And, there were deaths too. Epic ones as well.

And maybe "getting back on its feet" my be a disservice. After all, the show has been on such a high level that it's hard to keep that up every week.

For me, it looks like it's back.

It's been my favorite show, and I can't believe there are just two episodes left in the season.

It'll be a long wait until October.

But for now, I can't wait until the cliffhanger ... or so I think.

Pirates opener: A lot to like

I'm a sucker for opening day. I've been going to Three Rivers/PNC Park many years now to kick off the start to Pirates' season in good times and bad. I enjoy the crowds, the ceremonies and all of trimmings that come with the opener. Monday at PNC Park was no different. Except if you're looking at the Pirates' record at PNC. Zach Duke looked like an all-star, the offense looked like the Lumber Company of old and the crowd had one heck of a time celebrating the Bucs' 7-0 win. It was just the Pirates third win at a PNC Park opener. The game was one to remember. Adam LaRoche (!) and Ryan Doumit hit home runs, Freddy Sanchez looked like a former batting champion and the fans actually had "the wave" going around the park. But it was Duke's day. It was his third career shutout and the first shutout in a home opener since 1978. Yeah, it was a good day. It all came together for the Pirates. Maybe there's more down the road this year.

Wild-card round in NFL playoffs should be wild

The NFL playoffs finally are here, and, if you're like me, you can't get enough of the stuff. It looks like we should be headed for some high-scoring games, defensive struggles and some close calls this weekend. Here's how I see the weekend unfolding: Bengals at Texans: The Bengals are lucky to be in the postseason, while the Texans are lucky to have a quarterback after going through about 16 during the regular season. Arian Foster should get plenty of carries for the Texans, along with Ben Tate. The big question is whether quarterback T.J. Yates will be able to find Andre Johnson. If he can, it would go a long way for the Texans to win. However, something tells me rookie QB Andy Dalton finds some way to win against a tough Texans defense. Maybe he hooks up with A.J. Green on a big play. Maybe the Bengals defense pressures Yates into a big mistake. Bengals 20, Texans 17. Lions at Saints: This game should be fun to watch. The Saints, powered by record-set...
