One useful website for sportsblog writers and readers is Ballhype. It collects the top sports stories from the information superhighway and gets it all in one place for you. Yesterday, the Ballhype page for the TK and Tanger doing the weather story made its way through the front page of Ballhype thanks to a link […]

Man, I’ve been all up in Santonio’s business lately. Winning a men’s choice award, asking you to dance like MJ, getting a new tat and begging for an ESPY. But I guess that’s how it is…win Super Bowl MVP and all of a sudden you’re everywhere. But for some weird reason, I hadn’t seen this […]

Thanks to Jimmy for this. Former Steeler Rod Woodson was interviewed by KNBR in San Fransisco, and had to give some love to his former team(s). Woodson even went as far as saying that he wants to go into the Hall of Fame as a Steeler: “If you’re a Steeler – once a Steeler, always […]

Yeah, you could say I’m in full-blown Alyonka Larionov hockey withdrawal. Pens TV put up its episode chronicling the…yeah. Something… What was I talking about?

The news should always be like this. Penguins F Tyler Kennedy and D Kris Letang stopped by the KDKA studios and completely destroyed the weather report. I’ve never really sat through 6+ minutes of a weather report before, but the clumsiness of the CUP CHAMPIONS is completely entertaining. KDKA has a rich history of making […]

Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes recently went to get his “eighty millionth” tattoo. The numbers 561, the zip code of his hometown in Florida, now grace the inside of his “MVP arm.” Tone used the moment to totally beg for an ESPY this year. Some players would be happy with a Lombardi trophy and Super […]

Chills. Still. The commemorative 2009 Pittsburgh Penguins Stanley Cup Champions DVD will be released tomorow, July 7th. And somehow, we have a sneak peak for you a day early. Coming up on the 15th, those of us that turned Foley’s into a Penguins-fan heaven will be getting together to celebrate the championship by watching the […]

The Mets were in town last night for a makeup game with the Buccos. Also in town, and at the same hotel, were Furries. Anthrocon 2009 made it to Pittsburgh, as it usually does, and the incredibly weird Furries

http://youtube.com/watch?v= RwpE3Tb8wO0[/youtube] Yeah, that title pretty much sums it up. There’s really nothing else I can add to this. Unless you want me to make some cracks about Rooney’s age, or Hillary Clinton being a cold witch. ‘Cos that’s all I got.

Two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback (!) Charlie Batch recently spoke at the NFL rookie symposium, and warned the youngsters that there’s going to be no football in 2011. Per PFT: “Although NFLPA Executive Director De Smith chose to talk to the 2009 incoming class of rookies not about the status of the Collective Bargaining Agreement […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= Hn7FIFqCNzc[/youtube] Probably about 6 or 7 years ago, my aunt bought me a sweater for Christmas. I’m no fashion-forward person…I’ll pretty much wear whatever as long as it doesn’t make me look like a douchebag. Anyway, it was a simple sweater with wide vertical ribs on it. I told my aunt how much I […]

The Buccos started blowing up the 2009 team with Nate McLouth earlier this month. Now, Eric Hinske is a Yankee, while reliever Sean Burnett and noted Penguins/hockey fan Nyjer Morgan went to the Nationals for Lastings Milledge and some other guy. My buddy Pat has analysis and stuff at those links. You don’t come here […]

The Pittsburgh Passion played their first playoff game of 2009 this past weekend, losing to the DC Divas, 27-17. The Divas were the only team to beat the Passion in the regular season. From the Passion website: “The Passion’s 2009 Season comes to an end in DC… the Passion were defeated by the D.C. Divas 27-17 […]

It’s been awhile since we’ve checked in with Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel, the Indian reality show winner-dudes picked up by the Pirates this past offseason. And it turns out we tuned back in at the right time. I’m trying out this “after the jump” feature. Because I can, and that’s where all the vital […]

We all brag that Steelers Nation is huge, and has members everywhere, so stuff like this shouldn’t really be all that surprising. However, I was a big fan of engrish.com back in the day, so making fun of foreigners is always a treat. Since the Steelers already have Iran and China on lock, it’s time […]
