Are you kidding me? Everyone who thought Craig Wilson’s time with the Buccos was long gone…you fail. Only the Pirates would sign a chronically-underachieving strikeout machine after he didn’t catch on in New York, Atlanta and Cincinnati. Hell, we could use some depth in the minors…why not take Craig Wilson back? He can hit pinch-hit […]

(picture blatantly stolen from, then credited to, The Pensblog) I’m not that pissed about yesterday’s loss to Philly. How can I be, when we wrapped up a season that saw the Penguins secure the 2 seed in the East? Getting the 1 seed would have been a paper championship, and the team needn’t focus on […]

Too. Many. People. On. The. Ice/Floor. In all seriousness, Georges Laraque is awesome. He recently organized a floor hockey game with a bunch of Pittsburgh kids to help support the Doorway Foundation, explained in the video as helping with people dealing with addiction. Now, if I was a kid playing in this game, I’d be […]

(For the record, I have no idea what pwned actually means. I just find it funny) Prior to last night’s Atlantic Division-clinching win over the Flyers (Pensblog recap here), some fool by the name of Darren Dreger wrote a blog post about Sidney Crosby. Dreger mentioned that Sid doesn’t have the goal-scoring touch of guys […]

By way of their 4-2 win over the Flyers tonight, your Pittsburgh Penguins are Atlantic Division Champions! Next up, the Eastern Conference top seed for the playoffs. Go Pens!

Looks like politics break up the ties that bind. From this picture, it appears both Jerome Bettis and Franco Harris are Democratic supporters. More importantly, they’re Barack Obama-Democratic supporters. Political endorsements have taken their toll on the Steel Curtain Steelers, as it seems. Back when (Republican) Lynn Swann was running for governor of Pennsylvania, the […]

Massive news in the ‘Burgh today. Despite a double-digit run total in last night’s opening day win over the Braves, the Pirates decided to upgrade their offense. Knowing the team made little movement in the offseason free agent-market, the Pirates front office went out and signed Barry Bonds. A move like this should quiet down […]

Greg Lloyd just wants to be around his kids. And he’ll muss up some punk karate kid along the way if he has to (there must be an infinite amount of terror in the mind of the kid holding the yellow cushion). Sure, we all know Greg Lloyd is a Martial Arts instructor. Now, the […]

Another Friday…another half-assed post because my mind is focused directly on the weekend. Awesome win by the Penguins…despite the fact that the Islanders announcers are the most biased I’ve heard recently. Highlights are below…I love every time Georges Laraque scores. The video doesn’t show his trademark “Jump-Into-The-Glass” celebration, though. You can find me elsewhere on […]

Yes, you read that right. I did just compare a tiny local basketball team to an NFL squad. If you can call the Arizona Cardinals an NFL squad, that is. Recently, I heard that Arizona had picked up former Steeler Clark Haggans. I loved Clark Haggans. Completely respect everything he brought to our organization, but […]

STEELERUploaded by humboldtmyche You can hate me for this post. I’ll allow it. I don’t quite have the energy to offer my opinions on anything right now. I had (perhaps) too much fun last night, overslept…rushed to work…and am exhausted. Sure, I could talk about the Penguins clinching a playoff berth, or continue the discussion […]

Stupid Verron and your flashy cars. It appears that (former?) Steeler Verron Haynes sucks at paying bills (he was released, but still appears on the team’s roster). He’s being sued by A&L Motor Sales in Monroeville for deciding against paying for a 2001 Aston Martin. God, I’d love to be rich and (quasi-) famous. Verron […]

Stick with this video. Trust me. Do you like old things? How about Who's The Boss? The American Comedy Awards? A young Robin Williams? RAX? The Pittsburgh Pirates when they didn't suck quite as bad? Then this video is for you. I'll excuse you if you decided you didn't like RAX. That place was awful […]

Several posts you should read…because I said so. Good win by Pitt yesterday. The 18-0 run in the first half was awe-inspiring. I want to believe in this team so bad, and could conceivably win any matchup presented to them. However, I’ve been hurt by this team too often in the Jamie Dixon/Ben Howland-era to […]

Cedrick Wilson was just released, following an incident with his girlfriend. Yes, the same girlfriend involved in this past January’s armed-standoff. Ced was charged with striking her in the face. But wait, wasn’t James Harrison arrested for the same offense…but he’s still on the roster? PFT and Mondesi’s House discuss a possible double standard. Horse […]
