Last night was all about getting our bearings straight, so we went to Big Tree Inn, the legendary Bills bar just down the street from Highmark where we bellied up to the bar to talk to some old salty dawgs who'd seen a few things over the years.One of those guys, Scott in Arizona, told me tales of his past adventures.He swears there was a time back in the late 90s or early 2000s when he watched a visiting quarterback take a woman upstairs at Big Tree Inn.
