2015 has been a love/hate relationship in the last 30 days. Some really awesome things have happened and some really shi**y things have happened. And resolutions?

Fall and football just go hand-in-hand. I haven’t experienced the holidays without the roars of crowds cheering from the television, and of course, dinners are always planned AROUND Steeler games.
