Chancellor Pink

We live in terrifying times. Or do we? Should we be afraid of our neighbor? Or is it more intelligent to live freely, even if the consequences could be deadly?

Don’t listen to all the nerds telling you why the Steelers will trade up or down. Khan is in his prime, ready to be brilliant, and he has 3 premium picks, well situated, in the top 2 rounds, where the stars are found. He will find 3, at 17, 32 & 49.

Your Chancellor discusses the sad reality of how too many men repress their sexualities & sexual desires until they finally explode inappropriately in ways that destroy their lives.

Our culture today teaches us to repress all negative thoughts, lest we be adjudged depressed, needy, whiny, angry or even mentally ill or dangerous. Yet we all still are troubled frequently by negative thoughts. Your chancellor says it’s ok to have them. Welcome.

Please live with character. Strive to achieve, but when you lose, do so graciously. Be humble. Sacrifice for the well being of others. Stand up for something. Be ethical. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

No matter the beautiful, wonderful choice you’ve made, rest assured, it comes with a downside. Here’s an ode to accepting that reality & not running from it.

On May 26, 2018, I recorded and published the following podcast about the legal strength of the case against Donald Trump for making the hush fund payment to Stormy Daniels. Today, it has become especially relevant.

The Chancellor recently rewatched Sidney Lumet’s 12 Angry Men, & here he presents some critical thoughts on the film’s presentation of racism in America, while also analyzing whether a study of 12 white men is still relevant to modern culture.

We aren’t in grade school. We need to stop punishing one another for the mistakes of a few. We need to stop acting with greed. Let’s get life back to being joyful again.

If conflicts continue with certain people in our lives, it’s quite likely that one party in the relationship simply no longer likes the other. Sometimes this can’t be changed. It’s OK to end relationships with people we no longer like or who no longer like us.

After Pitt’s 89-81 win over GATech today, everyone was praising Burton. He did great. But the keys to the win were Federiko & Greg Elliott. About those crickets on Elliott…

Fewer creative people love sports, but when they do, it’s because they can sense so much going on under the surface. That’s why I feel so strongly that benching Greg Elliott means this Pitt Hoops season is over.

Jeff Capel ruined the Pitt team chemistry irreparably by deciding to bench Greg Elliott down the stretch. This Pitt team won’t win anything without Elliott, and Jeff Capel should be fired after the season.

The metrics mostly put Pitt at 50-ish. That is depressing. But KenPom is total garbage and has been for 20+ years. Moreover, don’t let anyone tell you this Pitt season is already a success.

Not to beat a dead horse, but people are still online arguing that the lies of the NET are reality, & Your Chancellor just can’t have that. So here’s more on how & why the NET SUCKS EGGS!!!

Some in the local media (who are Syracuse & West Virginia fans) are telling Pitt Hoops fans to stop whining about being screwed over by the rankings/NET. Don’t. Whine more, Pitt fans. Shake that tree until the fruit falls.

Your Chancellor explains why today, and in the next week, you should actually be rooting hard for Clemson, Virginia & Miami to win. Let’s make sure Pitt has the strongest NCAA resume possible.

Your Chancellor believes this is the 3rd most talented Pitt basketball team since 1980. Also, he tells you why, contrary to your instincts, you should be rooting for Miami, Virginia and Clemson to win this weekend.

Ah, March Madness is so wonderful, isn’t it? But why is the joy of Pitt’s current status as ACC front-runner being diminished by talk of a “down year” for the conference, and why does Pitt remain underrated? That’s right, it’s because of the evil NET. Here I take a deep dive into analyzing just why the NET sucks & should be scrapped.

Retired attorney, Carnegie Mellon grad, alternative rock singer/songwriter and huge lifetime Pitt Panthers hoops fan opines on the notion that Blake Hinson is Pitt’s wild card or x-factor this season. Uh-uh. No way. He’s the team MVP.
