So the big hockey news in Pittsburgh lately is the local media trashing Geno Malkin during his current (?) slump. Both the PG’s Ron Cook and the Trib’s Rob Rossi have blasted the kid for not helping the team more during the longest slide of his career. As if he isn’t an NHL legend already, […]

First off, Happy Birthday to Karissa, who sent in a few of her bday gifts. She got several unlicensed Pittsburgh sports merch items, and happily shared. I’ll start by featuring this amazing scarf. You see the numbers 71 and 87 anywhere, and you automatically know the Pens are in the equation. Even if the object […]

Penguins coach Dan Bylsma and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin are awesome. So much so, that they jointly share the honor of Pittsburgh Magazine’s Pittsburghers of the Year…without actually being from Pittsburgh originally. Championships cure everything. [W]hat separated Mike Tomlin and Dan Bylsma from your average head coaches was what they had to say about their adopted hometown […]

Max Talbot’s commercial history with A&L Motor Sales is well documented. The first two gave us a look at Max’s Superstar persona. The third was awesome, but then eventually pulled due to the presence of official Penguins logos on the Talbot jerseys. So this one is now the third, but also the fourth. Got it? […]

Despite being a Pittsburgh native and frequent basher of our cross-state city of Philadelphia, I’m a huge fan of the show It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. However, Pittsburgh has officially thrown down the gauntlet. Steelers safety Troy Polamalu decided to one-up Charlie Kelly’s Green Man, showing that the character is that much cooler with a massive mane. […]

Side note, when my oldest sister first went to grade school on the bus, she heard some naughty older kids using the F word. She told my mom about the problem. My mom asked her to repeat the word, and Kate whispered…”fart.” Childhood ignorance is bliss. Childhood toilet humor is also the funniest thing on […]

Are you Canadian? Do you feel your heart pounding when you see Penguins legend Mario Lemieux? You may just be excited, or you may have a heart ailment like atrial fibrillation, which was one of the reasons Lemieux retired for good in 2006. In this video (French here for you Quebec-ians), Lemieux discusses his bout with […]

NBA point guard Chris Paul had his celebrity PBA bowling tournament over the weekend, and invited Steelers Hines Ward and LaMarr Woodley. And see, LaMarr? You can look perfectly fine in a semi-normal shirt instead of an alarmingly-loud Tapout hoodie, or a just-as-loud Tapout t-shirt. Both guys seems to have decent form. And that’s not […]

Oh, Pittsburghese. Any time you make a play on Pittsburgh’s “City of Champions” moniker, I have to smile because it reminds me of all we’re blessed with in our local sports world. We can’t even be too pissed at the Pirates because the Steelers and Pens have been killing it over the past however-many years. […]

PensTV host Alyonka Larionov is leaving her position with the Pittsburgh Penguins. I think I speak on behalf of all of us when I say that she was THE reason we won the Cup this year. Geno isn’t the only one who will miss her. She’s embarking on a desire to connect fans with NHL […]

Former Steeler Jerome Bettis is helping the NFL and Monster.com find a new director of fandemonium. I’m not well versed on fandemonium, so I’ll assume it’s being overly excited about your home team, and the winner of the award will probably get to go to the Super Bowl or something. All I know is that […]

So Pitt basketball is pretty hot right now? After successive wins over Syracuse and Cincinnati, Pitt is showing that they don’t want to be known as a “rebuilding” team. They’re going to come at you, no matter what your stature. So with the help of my buds at Pittsburgh Budget Cars, who offer quality used […]

For Christmas, my aunt got me the bedsheets you see above. I saw that they were Black and Gold, thanked her, and moved on. I refused to put them on my bed, since we won the week prior against Green Bay. We won against the Ravens and Dolphins, so my superstitions were confirmed. But since […]

Ready for a video that will melt the very fabric of your mind? Then watch this guy use Photoshop to cut bits and pieces out of famous NHL stars’ faces to create some Frankenhorror hockey player. Never thought you’d read that sentence? Don’t worry, I never thought I’d type it. This ugly, ugly creation includes […]

Apparently, this stuff is normal for certain parts of America. Some dude did a backflip on a quad in the Civic Arena over the weekend. Excuse me for being out of the quad loop, but the last time I ever really thought of the things was in 3rd grade when my buddy Lenny got one […]
