Site Stuff: Come get NFL Draft merch before it's gone!
The NFL Draft's still a dozen days away, but the merch is here.
For now.
I can't stress this enough: Nobody who's operating a business Downtown or on the North Shore has any idea what to expect from the unprecedented crush of humanity that's coming. And as such, we could only guess as to how to prepare, whether it's our HQ/shop or the restaurants around or us or the big Target up on Smithfield Street.
So ... whatever we have is what we have. And once it's gone, it's gone.
That said, Dali's got the place all primed, from front to back, side to side, and it's already beginning to sell. Briskly, I might add. And because there's no such thing as last-second ordering in this process, we'll be left with our standard stuff.
We're at 224 Fifth Avenue. We're open Tuesday through Saturday, 12-6 p.m., for the week to come, and then we'll have expanded hours on actual draft week.
First-round wide receivers sold separately.
INSIDE THE WORKS
• See that DKPS hoodie up there on the right? That's brand new, and it's AWESOME!
• Little thing: It's now infinitely easier to copy the link to a feed entry. Just tap the triple-dots off to the right and choose 'copy link.' Don't ask how convoluted that'd been beforehand.
• Little thing II: We have polls. We tried one. It worked on everything but dark mode, so it's back to the lab until that's corrected.
• Little thing III: Our iPad display issues have been almost corrected. They're close. But I'm confident you'll have already noticed a difference.
• Travelogue: Taylor Haase will have the Penguins' final two regular-season road games, Sunday in Washington and Tuesday in St. Louis. José Negron will have the Pirates' next trip, April 21-26, through Arlington, Texas, and Milwaukee.
• A reminder I'll be making a lot: A subscription to this app/site covers only that. It doesn't apply to any memberships we offer on YouTube. And the same is true, obviously, in reverse. The reason: The commerce platforms have nothing in common.
• Feel free to add a review of any aspect of our business on our Google business listing, or on our Appleand Spotify podcast channels. Makes a real difference.
BACK TO BUSINESS
• Our page-view numbers for our most recent full seven-day span, April 3-9, were 825,993. Our most-read original piece was my column from PPG Paints Arena on the Penguins sticking up for each other vs. the Panthers, at 12,082. This kinda surprised me, to be honest. I thought it might be the Penguins' clinching in Newark or the Pirates' home opener.
• Our video views, also for April 3-9, were 260,731. Our most-watched program was my Monday Daily Shot of Steelers on the NFL Meetings, at 9,282.
• Again, the Downtown HQ/shop's open Tuesday-Saturday, 12-6 p.m., while our company-themed merch can be had in our online store. The latter's the only merch that we ship.
