These past few weekends without Steelers football have been a bit disorienting. So let me take this opportunity to make a BOLD STATEMENT that would probably get me killed during the regular season.

I would not be opposed to Troy Polamalu cutting his hair. I'm not saying he should, I'm just saying I would not complain if he did ( Read more... )

An update to a post that nobody cared about, but I was discussing with Andy how I love Mike Wallace and I think he's going to turn out to be as good a player as Santonio Holmes, but I like him much better as a person. He said that's just because we know about Santonio's transgressions, but Mike's new so we don't really know anything about him off ( Read more... )

What a miserable weekend for Pittsburgh sports. The Steelers are out of the playoffs even though they won today, and the Pens lost their fifth in a row in an ugggggly fashion. At least Andy is here, so we've been watching/commiserating together. Anything is better with Andy ( Read more... )

1. I have been saying since training camp that Mike Wallace's mohawk would make a big play, but then when he took off his helmet, he had one of those hood things on! Any Pittsburghers have local Wallace's-hair coverage? Does it still exist ( Read more... )

Penguins Notebook: Steelers showing success isn't guaranteed
First laugh: Pittsburgh reporters are always asking the Penguins about the Steelers.

I was talking about this the other day, and just thinking about it again in the shower: In the decade I've lived in Boston, I've considered myself both a Bostonian and a Pittsburgher. A Bostburgher? A Pittstonian ( Read more... )

I linked to Ginny/PittGirl's blog yesterday, but she just CRACKED ME UP again:

( Actually, I'll cut it because there are big pictures. )

I love this post. Love, love, love this post.

Here’s why we’re The Best Sports City … it’s because we wear our jerseys year-round and not only that, we wear them to work and to church and to weddings and no one thinks twice about it. We’re fans who love our sports teams like they’re our family, or in the case of the Pirates, like our bastard ( Read more... )

Steelers won, I finished my errands before the game and don't plan on going back out in the snow (!!!!) so I'm back in my PJs, chicken cacciatore in the crockpot. Smells delicious, though I wonder if I was a bit heavy on the onion. My first time making it. Will probably spend the rest of the afternoon/evening reading and half-watching more ( Read more... )

Friday Night Fights
For some reason, I read this again two months after it was posted, and just cracked up, right from the beginning: What you are about to read is true. The names have not been changed because we only know one dude's name. I mean, laughing out loud alone in my apartment. (For those who don't care about the Penguins, it has ( Read more... )
