I’ve been trying to find this clip for a while, but to this point, it had been unavailable on this fascinating World Wide Web. Crazy information superhighway was denying me access to see Lisa Horton as Sportscenter’s play #6 in the top plays. Yes, this isn’t from the Cleveland game. Its from the game prior, […]

Since the beginning of the postseason, the Post-Gazette has jumped on the Pittsburgh Passion bandwagon. Hard. As the team’s been making their move, Tyler Batiste and Annie O’Neill have been all over the team. Not that its a bad thing, because the team deserves all the respect/recognition in the world. I just would’ve liked to […]

July 19th. Designated “All-Pittsburgh-Teams-Must-Sign-Someone” Day. Apparently, the Pirates are buyers. And Shawon Dunston was not involved. Not to be outdone by the Steelers signing LaMarr Woodley and the Pens signing Ty Conklin, the Pirates showed that they can make a splash as well, trading for shortstop Cesar Izturis. The Buccos gave up the dreaded “player […]

Veteran goalie Ty Conklin has agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Conklin played for both Columbus and Buffalo last season. With Dany Sabourin expected to be MAF’s primary backup, Conklin will be spending most of his time in Wilkes-Barre. However, if Sabourin or MAF struggle/are injured, it will be good to have a solid […]

Steelers 2nd rounder LaMarr Woodley, famous for getting lost on the streets of Pittsburgh, has signed a 4-year deal with the team. Terms were not released. Wood’s signing means that only 1st rounder Lawrence Timmons, TE Matt Spaeth and Cornerback William Gay are the last remaining draft picks to sign. A deal with Spaeth is […]

A television commercial today told me that Edgar Snyder wants you…to link to his blog. You don’t have to tell me twice. Its called Edgar Speaks Out. Its Awesome! Attorney Edgar Snyder. There’s never a fee, unless we link our blog to you.

Don’t get it twisted. I like Ed Bouchette. Bouche says Troy Polamalu is close to signing a deal to keep him in the ‘Burgh. At least we didn’t know this like a week ago or anything. Either way, its stellar news.

Do you remember the 1996 Eastern Conference Finals? I do. If you don’t, then let me remind you… Game 7. 1-1 tie in the 3rd. Pens and Panthers. Barasso vs. Vanbiesbrouck. The Pens were in the middle of that “Doo be, doo be doo” pr campaign (Bud Ice…Beware the Penguins), and everyone wanted the Pens […]

A suspicious package in a ground floor ladies room at the Allegheny Courthouse prompted a closing of the Grant Street entrance, including an evacuation of Chief Executive Dan Onorato. The package in question was spotted at about 1:20 P.M. Bomb-sniffing dogs were immediately called in. They found…an unattended salad in a paper bag. I am […]

Remember when the Buccos used the 4th overall selection to take the 5th best pitcher in the 2007 baseball draft? Well, the team is expected to announce that Daniel Moskos is officially on board, as he signed with the team today. I’m trying to keep an open mind about Moskos, and he could potentially be […]

Junior moved past Frank Robinson and into sole possession of 6th place of the all-time home runs list last night with his 24 homer of the season and 587th of his career. Also, since Sammy Sosa recently hit his 600th, Junior is only 15 away from claiming his spot in the top 5. Oh what […]

The Pittsburgh Foundation, a local nonprofit that organizes charitable funds from individual donors, has enlisted the help of two Steelers stars. Former Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward and Perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate Troy Polamalu have agreed to help out the Pittsburgh Foundation by adding funds and setting up individual charities. Ward, the […]

Nearly a month ago, I told you about a special tie auction that was helping to benefit the Kane Regional Assisted Living Centers. The results are in, and here’s what some of the ties fetched: Jimmy Kimmel – $51Rod Stewart – $450Kevin McClatchy – $30Robert Nutting – $21Luke Ravenstahl – $30Dave Wannstedt – $37Mike Tomlin […]

Michel Therrien has a little wiggle room, now that the Pens have extended the coach’s contract another year through 2008/09. Therrien’s contract was to expire after next season. Its only a one-year extension, so the Pens are keeping Michel on a short leash. They want to make sure this past season was no fluke. I […]
