WASHINGTON (CNS) Not a day goes by that identical twins Luke and Ben Daghir don’t get confused for each other.
It’s probably even more confusing now since Luke and Ben, both graduate seminarians, wear black shirts with white clerical collars.
“We’ve gotten so used to it, it’s become a part of our life,” said Luke during a June 3 interview with Catholic News Service held jointly with his brother. “You just smile.”

Following the 2021 NFL draft where the Steelers made nine picks, they signed eight undrafted free agents to round out the remainder of their offseason roster. After two more free agent signings and releasing four players, the Steelers are currently at the league-mandated, 90-player maximum.
While it is entirely possible, is highly likely the 90 players currently under contract right now with the Steelers will not be the exact same 90 who open training camp, hopefully at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, PA. With rookie mini camp next weekend, the Steelers will have several tryout players who could earn a spot on the offseason roster ahead of a player they already have under contract. But even if these players make the 90-man roster, will they ultimately land on the 53 come September?

Wednesday had been a painful, tearful and numbing day, one of the toughest of my life.
In the morning, I was a pallbearer for my best friend. Les Harvath was a star center fielder for Duquesne University in his day, and he graduated as the school’s career stolen-base leader. He became a long-time high school history teacher and baseball coach, and his district championship team advanced to the finals by beating a Pittsburgh Central Catholic pitcher named Dan Marino.
