“Ten Frames? Psssht. That’s for Quakers.” Pittsburgh athletes past and present really love to bowl. And that’s cool with me, because then I get to splice Kingpin quotes into every post that even remotely discusses the sport. We’ve seen multiple instances of Big Ben hitting the lanes. Jerome Bettis is a Bowling Hall of Fame […]

Santonio Holmes gets the Internet. He’s one of those athletes who can interact with his fans via his website and Yardbarker blog, and the latter is a refreshingly candid look at his life outside the field of play. Tone paid tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, via his blog shortly after MJ’s passing. […]

The State of Pennsylvania is hosting it’s first-ever MMA match tomorrow night, fittingly at the Civic Arena, HOME OF THE 2008-2009 STANLEY CUP CHAMPION PITTSBURGH PENGUINS! UFC 101, the big-time MMA event, will be in Philly in August, but Pittsburgh had to one-up Philadelphia, scheduling the UCFC Rumble on the Rivers for June 27th, tomorrow night. […]

ESPY award nominees were announced today, and I pretty much care as little as I thought I would. However, since Pittsburgh became the first city to claim both the NHL and NFL championships in the same year, that means the ESPY for Best Team will pit the Stanley Cup-winning Penguins against the Lombardi-hoisting Steelers. There’s other […]

This is from some Reebok press release that just went out earlier today: “As the official outfitter for both the NHL and NFL, it is essential that Reebok provide Pittsburgh fans with a Steel City Champions Tee to celebrate the first time in sports history that one city has brought home both the NHL and […]

Dude, no one would ever ride that motorcycle. And is this implying that Big Ben has somehow crashed into the Bengals? As if the Bengals have been some immovable force that Ben cannot defeat? Because I find that in itself kinda funny.

I dare you to watch this video and not truly believe that someone spiked your drink or something. There’s some guy in full-on Steelers gear, speaking some crazy language, and it appears he’s talking about another Steelers football team. Or fütbol club, I don’t know. I think it’s Austrian, and from what I can make […]

Wanted to pass along these two great pictures. First up comes from my friend Heather, who is currently on the Dora the Explorer tour. No joke. She writes: “all the dressing room doors in a theatre in OH had city names on them and of course I get stuck in the “detroit” dressing room, haha! […]

Trust is a funny thing on the Internet. You guys come here trusting that I’ll give you something interesting at the very least. I trust in certain sources for inspiration, but technology can blur the line between truth and fiction. Say I found a video online. Imagine it is the only video on a brand […]

Thanks to Cotter for ‘shopping the url on that. I woulda done it in MS Paint, but that stuff sucks. This is going to be posted in the right (——>) sidebar so no one forgets who has the Cup. Congratulations to the 2008-2009 Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Still feels so good to say that.

I want to thank my good buddy

h/t to The Pensblog Videos like this will one day cause the Internet to implode upon itself. Yanni, the hero who caused back-to-back games against the Caps in the playoffs (both won by Pittsburgh), shows up to congratulate the Penguins’ Stanley Cup Victory. Yeah, that statement is 100% legit. It’s just as confusing to type […]

My buddy Mike over at Steady Burn asked a few friends what was the earliest memory we had related to sports. Mine has to do with the man above. Not God, man above…but Tony Pena, the man in the above picture. “1986, it must have been. Tony Pena’s last year with the Pirates. I woulda […]

Yo, did you know the Penguins won the Stanley Cup? Just checkin’. We’ve gone through a wide range of emotions in the past week…nervousness before Game 7, absolute elation once the game was over, a few days of sheer bliss, the realization that hockey is done for a few months…we’ve all been through it together. […]

Thanks to Neena for this. I’m not going to post the whole video, because it’s long, and pretty boring. But if you follow this link, and only watch the first 10 seconds of the video, you’ll see homeboy in the picture up top. Iran is going nuts right now, with elections and a hope for […]
