The Carolina Panthers were supposed to take a step back in 2014. They lost most of their wide receivers, Cam Newton had ankle surgery and he even went into Week 1 with cracked ribs. Two weeks later, those same Panthers are building off of their 2013 momentum with a 2-0 start. In fact, they enter […]

Yesterday, I brought to your attention the Lehigh Valley Ironpigs' new bacon-themed hats and one blog's quest to create food hats for every team in Major League Baseball. It was truly a wonderous endeavor, and nearly every team was adequately represented with some sort of market-specific foodstuffs. For those of us from Pittsburgh, the pierogi […]

[i didn't make that typo from the source link, but i sure corrected it] Yesterday, there were a few apparel-related stories that I wanted to write about, and had to pick which I wanted to put out earlier than the other. Marc-Andre Fleury's Stadium Series Steelers-inspired mask shot out into the ether and went everywhere. […]

That title is not to downplay the roles of current Steelers number 29 Shamarko Thomas or even classic wearers of that number like Barry Foster. Chidi was the insane special teams playmaker who made that number stand out, and I really just wanted to somehow combine his name with Marc-Andre Fleury's. I caught this via […]

There's an old saying among the car crowds…"Only smart people drive Hondas." The combination of relatively-inexpensive MSRP, fantastic gas mileage and parts that refuse to give out makes the company a true diamond in the rough. While some prefer to pay for the prestige of a luxury name on their automobiles, and in turn pay […]

Thanks to

Thanks to my buddy Don for this. From Wilson: When Pittsburgh Steelers’ WR Santonio Holmes’ caught a 6-yard game-winning TD catch with only :35 on the clock.  While we all collectively watched a competitive stinker of a Super Bowl between the Seahawks and Broncos, it helps to remind ourselves how fantastic it was to have […]

Parks and Rec has consistently been one of the funniest shows on television since its first season. And yes, that bit of hyperbole also includes said first season, in which it was a vastly different show and had yet to find the groove it currently inhabits. It was uneven, but still funny. During that first […]

I was going to post this yesterday to capitalize on the NFC Championship and all, but with it being MLK Jr. Day, I knew I'd only get the fewest eyeballs possible. So I'll troll the Seahawks "12th Man" fanbase today, and maybe Seattle fans will attempt to read and understand words that aren't "LOUDER" on […]

This comes

Gawker reminded us all of Internet K-Hole, a place with fantastic pre-digital pictures dumps from the 70s-90s basically. In going through some past photo essays, a Steelers jersey popped up. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feverishly going through old posts to find something Pittsburgh sports-related. Be careful there though, as random nudity […]

Dennis Rodman, Doug Christie and a whole bunch of other former NBA scrubs are in North Korea right now turning a blind eye to the blatant human rights violations and forced labor camps to hang out with the manboychild supreme leader. And play a basketball game, I guess. But let's get to the real meat […]
