Pittsburgh is Fed Up with Matt Canada
Matt Canada and the city of Pittsburgh are not on great term currently. That’s putting it too lightly. The city of Pittsburgh is fed up with Matt Canada. The last 2 home games for the Steelers a “FIRE CANADA” chant has broken out among the faithful. Head Coach Mike Tomlin is having to answer question weekly about the stagnant offense (more on that later). If you thought is was just Steelers fans who felt this way, then you’re wrong. The entire city of Pittsburgh is fed up with Matt Canada. At the Penguins season opener on Tuesday night the Pens fans channeled their inner Steelers fan and started with their own “FIRE CANADA” chant. Here’s the video.
A "Fire [Matt] Canada" chant erupted during the Pittsburgh Penguins game tonight.

Here's the thing: #Penguins have 3 players on their roster from Canada, while the #Blackhawks (opponents) have 13 Canadian players. Probably some confusion there on the ice. pic.twitter.com/tD2bQXRJ24
Pittsburgh is fed up with Matt Canada
Since Canada has taken over as OC with the Steelers in 2021 the offense has been one of the poorest in all of football. Canada’s first season in 21 with Ben Roethlisberger in the future Hall of Famers final season. So the 23rd ranked offense and 21st scoring offense was excused by a quarterback on his way out.
2022 Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky split the 2022 season, but neither had tremendous success. The Steelers ranked 23rd in yards per game for a second season, but fell to the 26th scoring offense in the league. 2023 was supposed to fix all of that. Kenny Pickett coming into his second season, a beefed up offensive line, and pretty good skill players across the board. It’s been a disaster. Pittsburgh ranks 30th in both yards and points so far this season. The Steelers have an issue with their OC. They should buck their history make a change in seasons.
The Price Of Beer In Every NFL Stadium For The 2023 Season
Inflation is everywhere, you can’t hide from it. Here in Florida gas prices are once again inching up to 4 dollars a gallon. I just want to go to a game, have a few drinks, and leave the real world behind for a few hours. But, we need to maintain a budget. That’s why you should always pregame. I saw that an Eagles fan showed up in the parking lot at 4:30 am for an 8:15 pm kickoff. That’s some absolute dedication there. Did someone track that guy down to see if he was still conscious come game time? I admire you, sir. I’m guessing if this guy could still function at an NFL game, he was unfazed by the price of beer in the stadium.
So, you got a couple in you, and you’re ready to head into the stadium. That’s where I miss the old days of cash. With cash, you knew how much you had, and that’s what you spent. Credit cards can get out of hand. We took a bus from Naples, Florida to a Dolphins game and I was pretty drunk before I got to Hard Rock in Miami. I still managed to spend over $200 in drinks.
So let’s examine the price of a beer in each of the 32 NFL stadiums.
I realize the way we rank ’em can be a bit controversial. Last year, Fox5 in Washington, DC was upset at me because the Commanders had the most expensive beer and I called them out for it. Their cheapest beer was $16. More than triple some of the others. I publicly shamed Fed Ex Field, the home of the Washington Commanders for having the most expensive-lowest priced beer in the NFL. Less than a year later, Dan Snyder sold the team. And guess what? There’s now cheaper beer prices at Fed Ex Field. YOU’RE WELCOME, WASHINGTON (and your team is much better this year, too).
This year, bookies.com collected the necessary data. They reached out to teams and used other local sources, then took beer prices and converted them all to 16-ounce size. So this year it’s an apples to apple thing. How much is 16 oz of beer? I guess Los Angeles is gonna be mad at me this year, so here goes…
