Seafood Legend In Pittsburgh Adds To City’s Legend

May 23, 2008   2 Comments  

If you have ever been down to Strip District and walked into Wholey’s, you know that the owner definitely doesn’t give a shit. Don’t get me wrong, you get the best and freshest seafood, (which is saying something for the city of Pittsburgh because it’s not exactly near the ocean) but they hack it up and dish it out right in front of your face. And now the owner of Wholey’s will be refusing to sell any octopi to Red Wing fansfor fear of them throwing it on the ice at the Mellon Arena. From the countless songs to beer specials for shitting on Sienna Miller, Pittsburghers think a little bit differently than other sports fans and Mr. Wholey is just one more example. Here are a few reasons why Pittsburgh is better than some other sports towns:

Philadelphia – Pittsburghers only boo guys named Kordell Stewart.

Boston – Pittsburghers aren’t self-loathing and don’t want to slit their wrists after every loss.

New York – Pittsburgh news outlets do not report anything bad about the athletes, and lead broadcasts with player vacations to their homeland.

Dallas – Pittsburgh teams have a little respect for the game rather than bringing in guys like T.O. and Pac Man. Also, three more words, No Jerry Jones.

Oakland – Do not dress up like the Legion of Doom or have an owner that resembles a character from a movie based on a Roald Dahl book.

Baltimore – Pittsburgh has hockey team, a quarterback and a football team that isn’t purple.

Cleveland – Pittsburgh has won a title in the past 50 years, and doesn’t lose franchises.

Everyone else – Jesus is on Pittsburgh’s side

Minka, What Are You Doing?

May 22, 2008   1 Comment  

speedracerpremiere42686jl9.jpgI caught this link coming through si.com’s HotClicks. It’s a Page 6 article breaking news that the herp king is looking to give Valtrex a little more business. Minka Kelly of Friday Night Lights, the best show on television, reportedly had dinner with the Yankee captain on Monday. Get out of this before it’s too late Minka, and remember what you junior high health teacher taught you about STDs before you’re just another branch on the tree.

Sir Charles Claims That He Will Stop Gambling… For At Least A While

May 20, 2008   1 Comment  

charles_barkley_11.jpgLast night on TNT’s pregame show, Barkley said that he is going to take a break from a habitthat has lost him more than $10 million over the years. This comes as a result of the Wynn Las Vegas going public with a $400 thousand debt. Charles paid the debt quickly and said that he is in no dire straits financially, so why is he stopping when he “still has the money to lose.” Charles Barkley not gambling is like Floyd Mayweather not “trifling” (according to sandrarose.com) or even more like John Daly not drinking Diet Coke. I’m surprised that Charles is willing to cut into his gambling exploits, because really, anything less would be uncivilized.

Lance Armstrong Makes Me Feel Bad About Myself

May 19, 2008   Leave a Comment  

lance_armstrong_narrowweb__300x4332.jpgWhile looking over FoxNews.com for some ridiculous stories (here’s one from today, here’s another) I saw some news about the most hated man in France, Lance Armstrong. Apparently, Armstrong has been seen out with Kate Hudson, who herself is coming off a relationship that came to a close last Summer with Owen Wilson having a ”coke and heroin” breakdown. 

The real story though is how does this guy, who only has one ball pull trim at such a high level. This is a list that include Sheryl Crow and some fashion designer who is also banging. However, the best part of his resume would have to be the apparent fling with an Olsen twin, who is 15 years younger than him. One possible scenario is that Armstrong gives a little more than a bracelet for substantial LiveStrong donations. Who needs Extenze when you train yourself into that enlarged heart and increased blood flow.

VY Looks Like He’s On Stage At A Rap Concert

You think that a third pick in the NFL draft would be able to afford a shirt, you would also think that a former Rookie of the Year would be able to pull some tail. In the case of Vince Young I guess you would be wrong. The Big Lead came across these photos, while perusing Blogxilla.com and their blog Urban Life Daily. This is just the latest drunken photo of a quarterback from the ’06 Draft, don’t count on seeing Jay Cutler anytime soon, he’s too busy getting diabetes so I’m thinking he can’t handle very much Hypotiq. Vince better make sure that he doesn’t do anything wrong without his shirt on, he’ll be pretty easy to spot with his name tatooed on his back. That’s the official jersey of team VY.

What Could Have Been

May 15, 2008   Leave a Comment  

It is being reported that Ricky Williams was invited to be on the boat trip with Cedric Benson, the day that he was arrested and roughed up a little bit. Here are some of the quotes from Ricky when asked how things would have been different if he were aboard.

“I think if I had come down, things might have worked out a little bit differently.”

“I find I have a calming influence on people I’m around.

“As a high-level athlete, it’s just something that’s ingrained in me. I always think that if I’m there, things would be different. I can’t say how.”

I think I know how Ricky would have calmed the situation down. He would have been like Sir Smoka Lot in a scene from Half Baked. Also, does Canadian football make him a high level athlete? I would say, I don’t think so, in Canadian.

Antonio Pierce Interns for Howard Stern, Watch Out Benji And J.D.

May 8, 2008   1 Comment  

howard-stern-sirius-100.jpgMy roommate came home last night and told me that a New York Giant was on the Stern show and was interning for the day, that player was Antontio Pierce. Apparently, Pierce just showed up that day and asked if he could intern because he wants to get into broadcasting after he retires. It made for some good radio as he entered the studio as the King of All Blackswas on, the king promptly asked what kind of faucets Pierce had in his house. The questioning then went to Stern, whose inquiries ranged from his penis size to the sexuality of teammates. He was also questioned about his age when he first had sex, Pierce would not give up the fact but someone in the studio guessed 9. If it is even close to that, then it was obvious that he was going to be a pro athlete. Pierce went on to get coffee, answer phones and observe some directing. The highlight of the day however was when Pierce towel whipped Sal and Richard so bad that it sounded like they were going to cry. I’m hoping that some more athletes head over to the Stern show to be interviewed, who could next and what would Howard ask them?

Too Bad He Has Herpes

May 7, 2008   1 Comment  

I am about to post a video that I have seen everywhere today, I’m not sure who posted it first but here were some of the places I saw it With Leather and C-Notes. Anyway, it features is Delonte West while on the Celtics, and I had no idea that this guy was hilarious. If you youtube him, there are countless videos of off the wall comments that make you laugh like you’re watching Grandma’s Boy. He kind of sounds like Leon Phelps, the Ladies Man, which may explain the herpes, but he just reels off absurd comments that make me feel he needs to be on Ritalin in addition to his Valtrex. At one point he says that he met Bugs Bunny, now watch.

Suggestions For The White Sox Clubhouse

May 7, 2008   Leave a Comment  

This week there was a big to-do about a few blow-up dolls, who were in some compromising positions, in the clubhouse of the Chicago White Sox. The incident has been a part of many headlines and the team has even been contacted by the MLB, but for what? First off, I’m happy to hear that Nick Swisher was behind the whole idea, who along with Eric Byrnes is one the best players to watch in the Majors. Just look at the all out dive he took last night as he tried to save Gavin Floyd’s no-hitter. Also, the point of the display was acceptable, teams should be trying anything to get out of slump. I guarantee that those guys in the clubhouse laughed and felt better as they took the field. Here are some ideas for them to try in the clubhouse next time:

1. DVD of Artie Lange’s Beer League

2. Koosh Balls

3. Hazing of rookies

4. Team supply of Freeze Pops

5. Nerf Gun battle

6. Subscription to Howard TV, this is one of the best purchases I have ever made
