http://youtube.com/watch?v= M9Hp_K92FgA[/youtube] As if those two things didn’t already go hand-in-hand. Skinny Steelers fans are hard to come by, and I’m allowed to say that because I’m a fellow Steelers fan. Like how black people can get away with… /ends that sentence right quick Anyway, this video is fairly recent (any 2009 is fairly recent), […]

Next round of Sean’s Best Pittsburgh Sports Blog Tournament is underway. I’m up against the awesome Bucs Dugout. Vote for one of us here. As an aside, I apologize for my lack of anything substantial other than Gunaxin’s takeover post. Figures the day I open the new site, everything will go smoothly with the transfer…and […]

With the Penguins playing the Caps yesterday, I decided to partake in a little gentleman’s bet with my good buddies over at Gunaxin, who just so happen to be Caps fans. Losing team/blogger would let the other post ridiculous, team-specific garbage on the opposing site, blah, blah, blah. Of course, the Pens lost, and today […]

If you need a place for a wide range of Pittsburgh Internet links, TAE’s Links N’@ is always a good place to start. I only say this now because they picked up on one of my stories today. I’m always up front with you when I’m shamelessly self-promoting. This is no different. Look, I’ve gotten […]

I don’t want to get ahead of myself and start making claims that “THE SEASON IS TURNED AROUND,” but in this instance, it’s acceptable. We have huuuge games coming up this weekend against Philly and Washington, and if we can scrape a few points out of these contests, then hopefully the Pens can pull back […]

ESPN just announced their Mount Rushmore of Sports for Pennsylvania. And it’s just another weird way to get weird Rick Reilly to justify his weirdly huge contract. The legends are Joe Paterno, Wilt Chamberlain, Mario Lemieux and Roberto Clemente. I have no idea what criteria was used to determine these “faces,” but I’d be lying […]

As I said in the MPotD, I’m a #1 seed in Sean’s Best Pittsburgh Sports Blog tourney. I’m matched up against the fantastic Penguins blog, Igloo Dreams. Go vote for me here. That is all.

http://youtube.com/watch?v= zWi7wT3kMsQ&hl=en&fs=1[/youtube] Props to Jason Burik, who created a to-scale model of PNC Park…with Legos. I was a huge Lego fan back in the day. I’m also a huge Pirates fan, so right now, I’m drifting back to a time when the Pirates were still good, and Lego-building consumed most of my day. We visited […]

The Steelers need O-Line help, and a bunch of mock drafts have a guy like Cal C Alex Mack still available at pick 32. Apparently, winning the Super Bowl totally screws with your draft position. Look, I don’t put a whole bunch of stock into mock drafts 2 months before the ACTUAL draft, but Mack’s […]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anes7l71oq8&hl=en&fs=1 Videos are a shifty deal for sportsbloggers. Most of the vids out there in Youtubeland are straight dirt, and not nearly as funny as the uploader thinks. As a Pittsburgh sportsblogger, I like to focus on the fans as the fourth (of 4!) main aspects of the local teams (team/staff, players, media, fans). You […]

I see you, Noah. Kevin Durant won the NBA’s H.O.R.S.E. tourney yesterday, something I totally missed. For his troubles, he won a trophy (plaque?) with a mini pony on it. I need to get one of these made for the person who submits the best future MPotD. Picture ripped directly from Deadspin this morning. Not […]

Feel-good stories rule. Yesterday, the Pens joined up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for the inaugural Pens and Pins tournament. This is the type of thing where you can actually smile when a local athlete sucks. The players who helped out served as a celebrity captain for each team. The newly-formed Penguins Wives Association set up […]

For awhile now, I’ve been saying that when the weather gets nicer, I want to get a Pogo Ball and take it to Union Square and show up the skateboarders. You know, with Extreme Pogo Balling! So when I see pictures of Jeff Reed wearing a Pogo Ball shirt, I just nod my head and […]
