Take your pick

Well it's Halloween. yippee. Some of the Steelers participated in a haunted house the other night (story here). The event was organized by "Bong Hits" Reed and Greg Warren. These two are inseparable... they're thick as thieves they are. I sat next to them at a Pirate game this summer, spotted them numerous times on the Southside, then they host that party at Wolfie's in Indiana, and now this. I guess they just like to party. Anyway, here's a Halloween riddle for you... Which Jeff Reed is more scary?

Robert Goulet died yesterday at the age of 73 while awaiting a lung transplant. Here's something to honor his memory.

Charles Barkley wants Tom Brady whacked

Being the Steelers fan that I am, it is programmed in my DNA to loathe the classless Brady and Belicheck and all things New England. Fuck them. I've been waiting all season to see someone lay the smackdown on that smug asshole and end his season. Well, now I feel like less of a jealous asshole because Michael Wilbon and Charles Barkley agree with me. Barkley was the guest today on PTI and he basically said "somebody's gonna put a hit out on Tom Brady." Classic stuff. Hopefully, I can find a video of this soon. As for Wilbon, here's an excerpt from his Washington Post column:

"The Redskins' coaches shouldn't have to say a word. The players, sensing what was going on, should have done whatever necessary to drill Brady right in his strike zone. If Brady walked off the field without help, it would have meant the Redskins didn't hit him hard enough. If it brought a penalty or two, so what? The score was meaningless at that moment. Establishing the team's willingness to make the Patriots pay for their boldness is all that should have mattered"

Bravo Wilbon, bravo. It's just a shame the Redskins couldn't get the job done. If the Patriots continue their "Insufferable Douchebags '07" campaign, someone, on some team will start taking cheap shots. For the sake of the NFL, it has to happen. Please, man up NFL defenses because we're all really, really sick of it. It can't happen soon enough.

Sabourin gets the nod

Danny Sabourin will start for Pens tomrrow night in Colorado (trib story here). Definitely the right move if you ask me. Sabu's playing too well right now to sit him. If he can win another game on the road against another quality opponent, his confidence will go through the roof. Look, MAF is our number one. Any success now or in the future starts with him. But right now he's just too inconsistent to be counted on. Quality play from your backup will do one of two things: inspire you to play at the top of your game, or do considerable damage to your confidence. Fluery will be inspired by this. It worked last year and it will work again this year. Two confident goalies = good times...

Welcome

This whole project will most likely be a complete and utter failure. But since I am currently unemployed, and it looks like that will be the case for the forseeable future, I've found myself with unspeakable amounts of free time. So, what better way to pass that time than by offering semi-logical and unfunny opinions on all things sports with a focus on Pittsburgh teams.
