The Buccos beat the Brewers yesterday for the first time in their last 18 tries. Then, some stuff started. Here’s my brief recap of events: – Pitcher Jeff Karstens hit Ryan Braun several months agowith a pitch after he hit a homer. Braun was pissed, telling the MLB to watch out for future retribution. – […]

I find it odd that this news comes out on the day I feature a mini horse named Shaq. The NBA big man has a new reality show coming out in which he takes on some huge sports stars at their respective games. ABC has scheduled Shaq Vs., and it’s as greenlit as possible. “Filming begins […]

This is old news, but here’s video of the Steelers accepting the 2009 ESPY for Best Game. And what a game it was. HHR mentioned that

Former NFL WR Andre Rison is currently holding a football camp in nearby Ebensburg, PA. /requisite lisa-left-eye-lopez-burning-his-house-down-joke Thanks to Ebensburg native maticulous for the link.

Rob Scuderi’s day with the Cup is just about a few minutes ago today on Long Island. Bellmore, to be exact, at the Newbridge Arena. Scuds grew up in nearby Syosset. My friend Allison is/was there, and sent in these first-hand pics. Take a good look, because Rob is pretty much LA-bound as soon as […]

Credit to commenter JAdams at The Pensblog. That’s how I came across this masterpiece. A few weeks ago, the Mets came to Pittsburgh and got disrupted by Furries. Anthrocon, the national Furry convention, happens routinely in the ‘Burgh, and usually annoys the fans and whatever team is in town to play the Pirates that weekend. […]

When ESPY Award nominees were announced, I wondered if the Steelers would lose to the Penguins, or vice versa, in the Best Team category. If I remember my words exactly, I think I said: “…since Pittsburgh became the first city to claim both the NHL and NFL championships in the same year, that means the ESPY […]

The schedule is way long, so I’ve buried it after the jump. It was taking up too much space when it was displayed on the front page. Hit up the link below to see it all. FriOct 2, 2009 NY RANGERS PITTSBURGH 7:30 PM ET SatOct 3, 2009 PITTSBURGH NY ISLANDERS 7:00 PM ET WedOct […]

The Trib has news today that Sidney Crosby is the latest Pittsburgh athlete to be impersonated. Remember that this is not new to Pittsburgh fans. Ben Roethlisberger was famously impersonated. Even Pirates prospect Andy Phillips was burned. The chick above set up a fake Myspace page, pretending that Sid was asking for money for a […]

The Pens won the Cup just over a month ago, but the tribute videos aren’t getting old. I’ve been avoiding posting every one I get, because at some point, we’ll need to move onto the new season. However, my buddy Benson sent this one over, and it induces enough chills to make the cut. Plus, […]

Y’all know that I’m not one to keep quiet if athletes on my teams act up. Despite being a massive homer, I’m not going to make excuses for these guys. I love James Harrison, but I skewered him as soon as word came out about his Baptismal abuse story. And LaMarr Woodley…you may (or may […]

I’m a blogger. I’ve told you nothing you didn’t already know with that statement. But as a blogger, I’m fascinated by the blogs run by our local athletes. Max Talbot has one, Santonio has one…even guys on the Baby Pens, like Ben Lovejoy, had one. We’ve looked at Lawrence Timmons’ before, so now it’s time […]

The Trib (via BTSC) recently ran a piece about Art Rooney II, US Ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney‘s son who basically just took control of the Steelers full-time now that Dan’s overseas fighting the good fight? Art has been involved in the day-to-day operations for a few years now, so he’s not going into a […]

That is, according to this tiny picture on LaMarr’s official website. This is the only visual evidence I have to support this crazy notion. And why would I call LaMarr getting some much deserved attention crazy? Because the dude isn’t technically single. MLive backs up the fact that LaMarr is July’s Single Man of the […]
