We’re getting closer to the release of my bud Christmas Ape‘s book, The Football Fan’s Manifesto. He did a live chat over at Deadspin for it earlier today. Last month, we watched the hilarious promo video that had faux-fans getting smashed in the face with said book. Along with the promo, Ape held a reader contest/poll, […]

Last year, Cotter and I made a hastily-planned trip to Steelers training camp in Latrobe from NYC. We decided to do the same this year, and ended up adding some stragglers in the form of Stan,

Steelers kicker Jeff Reed will just kick footballs at Kevin Colbert and Art Rooney until he gets a contract extension. This is all you get from me today. I am currently en route to Steelers training camp from NYC. Follow those of us making the trip on Twitter.

2009-10 better be a good season for Rashard Mendenhall. For the sole purpose of sticking it to Youtube. When you start a search query on Youtube, a list of related or common searches pops up under what you’re typing. The screenshot above shows the common phrases associated with Rashard Mendenhall when you check if there’s […]

If you ever bring up the fact that Ben Roethlisberger is a great NFL quarterback, the haters come flying out of the woodwork. The guy doesn’t get credit for winning every regular season game he started as a rookie from those who called him a “game manager,” so he responded by winning the Super Bowl […]

As I alluded to earlier, I’ll be coming in to Latrobe for training camp from NYC this weekend with Cotter, Cotter’s girlfriend KB and Stan in tow. And I know you aren’t doing anything better with your life this Friday and Saturday, so why not come hang out at camp with us? Friday is night practice […]

TMZ spotted that nerd that punched Rihanna. He was wearing a Pirates hat. Take that thing off, because everyone hates you.

Remember this guy? No…not Brian Engblom and his 1 million beer bottles. The guy behind him in the Penguins gear. That’s my buddy Stan. On Friday, he’s coming to Steelers training camp to completely immerse himself in everything Black and Gold. You might be surprised that such a diehard Pens fan has no knowledge of […]

In both 2007 and 2008, I posted a list of cool stuff in and around Latrobe for those of you attending Steelers training camp. Instead of posting again, I’ll just link you to last year’s post. Go do all of this stuff. Explore Latrobe.

Last night, the Buccos lost to the Washington Nationals, 8-4. In the first inning, team savior Andrew McCutchen homered for the fourth time in August, giving him twice as many as anyone else in the young month. Announcer Greg Brown pointed this fact out later in the game when Cutch came up to bat again. But […]

Can I autotune a blog post? Lil Wayne had a concert in Pittsburgh within the past week, and it looks like he had on a Steelers ripoff shirt. Excuse me for not consulting any sources other than a Youtube video, but I don’t really care to research any more about Lil Wayne. Actually, I like […]

Thanks to the Post Gazette for confirming a question I posed about a month and a half ago. That question? Is Rashard Mendenhall a good dancer? The video that brought me to this question is above. Mendenhall’s name was attached to a sweet dance routine set to some Michael Jackson tracks. There were no closeups, […]

Via WL comes a report on the Philadelphia Passion…a team in the awesome Lingerie Football League. Wait…that name sounds familiar. Oh yeah…that’s the team name of the 2007 NWFA Champion and current IWFL powerhouse Pittsburgh Passion. You don’t see Pittsburgh starting up some random team and naming it the Pittsburgh Phillies or some junk like […]

Thanks (?) to Big Bob from the 96.1 KISS FM Morning Freak Show for this. Apparently, some sperm-donation company sells look-a-like kids. As in not looking like you…looking like some random “celebrities.” And you better believe there’s some Steelers involved. “WELL THIS IS INSANE A SPERM BANK OUT IN LA IS TAKING DONORS THAT LOOK […]

With players reporting to training camp today, WTAE decided to get the scoop on the food being served to the Black and Gold this summer. I’ve told you countless times that I’m an alumni of St. Vincent College (I partially decided to go there because it was the summer home of my Steelers), so I’ve […]
