Wikipedia Hates Dave Littlefield

The Second Coming — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 18:07:23 +0000

I was notified of this revelation through a Facebook wall post and I appreciate it. Here is an excerpt from the Wikipedia page for former Pirates GM, Dave Littlefield. I read through the entire page before coming across a moment of sheer brilliance. Check out the last line of the entry and you can see it states, “Currently, Littlefield has been seen living under the Roberto Clemente Bridge, occasionally rising to the surface to play the saxophone and beg for spare change.” I know that this happens all the time on wikipedia and this will probably be changed, but the fact that someone took the time to belittle a former Pirates GM should not go overlooked. Not to mention his jab that was able to incorporate a little local flavor.

Seafood Legend In Pittsburgh Adds To City’s Legend

The Second Coming — Fri, 23 May 2008 15:55:47 +0000

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 Dah l 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
