Why are we even here, recapping a Steelers game? A huge swath of Steelers fans seemed to write off the season after the loss last week. So isn’t the season over? There’s no use playing the rest of the year what with this patchwork O Line and old defense and lack of running game. 38-17 […]

Here’s a screengrab of the official Twitter blog from

Man this might be my favorite Benstonium piece and that’s saying something. Thanks as always to my bud Benson for sending over. It’s a simple concept, really. Take the unforgettable Family Matters theme song and adjust to include the Steelers rather than the Winslows. I may be most impressed at getting the same font for […]

Thanks to

Hot Elisabetta Canalis, George Clooney’s model ex-girlfriend pumps her own gas. She does so wearing what looks like a Pirates hat. To be fair I associate any gold P with the Buccos. There’s gotta be a better way to phrase that… And she just got kicked off Dancing With The Stars. So I guess the […]

Thanks to Andy for this. He says: “Pink Steelers jersey in this porn scene. I won’t include the link. I think this should be sufficient evidence.“ I appreciate that Andy sent along a completely safe for work screencap. Go Steelers.

I’m sort of afraid to look around cos there was a lot of wailing and thrashing after this game went final and Twitter looked like it was collectively ready to fold the season cos there’s no way this Steelers season can be a success. You know, after 4 games, 3 of which have been on […]

Kings defenseman Drew Doughty signed a jillion-year, gazillion-dollar contract recently. How a team can commit that much cap space and years to a blue liner is beyond me, but LA wants him around so good for Drew I guess. That just goes to help us appreciate Ray Shero signing guys like Brooks Orpik and Kris […]

Evgeni Malkin joined Twitter not too long ago. I’ve been anxious to see how his fractured English and known sense of humor translated to the platform. We learned a lot today. Geno tweeted the above message and everyone jumped around thinking that Geno had scooped all the major reporters who have been waiting for Sid […]

I say that headline hopefully, as I’ve only seen a few images of Pirates Hall of Famers. Deadspin featured some of artist Summer Anne Burton’s MLB HOF art. She’s on a mission to draw every MLB HOFer. One of the pics Deadspin featured was of legendary Pirate Paul Waner, seen above. There are a few […]

Via Puck Daddy, here are pics of MAF’s new alternate uni mask. As you can see, MAF and the artist opted for a weathered look with fake puck marks all over. You can get pissed if you want, as a lot of people hate intentionally-distressed stuff. Like that old coot Andy Rooney: “Everything about Kurt […]

The 2011 Pirates season sure provided a wide range of emotions. Through the end of July, the team was battling for 1st place in the division. And immediately after the end of July, the Pirates went on to record a historically bad win/loss ratio among all teams that was at or near 1st place at […]

FIRST THINGS FIRST: I am not a shoe freak like a lot of people. I don’t get how people have like 30 pairs of shoes. So I while I was pleased to see Nike’s Air Mag McFlys, which were in honor of Marty McFly’s shoes in Back to The Future II. My dream shoes are […]

Last week I mocked Tony Siragusa by filling my first paragraph with nonstop references to his faulty unsmooth criticisms of the Steelers offense. This week I came pretty close to filling this opening paragraph with just Peyton Manning’s name over and over. I mean his name was brought up as much if not more often […]

“can you derp me now?“ When we last saw Taylor Lautner, he was finishing filming his movie Abduction in Pittsburgh and made a stop at Heinz for a Steelers game. There was buzz about a movie that predominantly featured Pirates gear and PNC Park. The hope that it would be any good went south faster […]
