Sporting News magazine named Pittsburgh its number one sports city today, beating out 398 other towns in the United States and Canada. It is the 16th year the magazine has issued its Best Sports Cities rankings and the first time Pittsburgh was so anointed, largely because of the dual Steelers and Penguins championships.
Oh yeah, I forgot the NHL was still around. I’m pretty sure what put them over the top was some of the Steelers player appearances on Monday Night Raw the other night.
Well that or the fact that Big Ben is a machine out there on the field.
Which kind of begs the question. What in all that is holy is wrong with the Pirates? I mean hell, even Philly puts up decent sports teams all around. Can’t the Pirates do something? I’m calling bullshit on ownership on this one.
Anyway, congrats Pittsburgh. Your town is still really ugly and I would never live there. I’m not nearly tough enough.
Nicely done guys! I’m pretty sure the studio execs at KSTP are die hard Vikings fans and really didn’t care about the showing love for the Packers T-Shirt.
Well, it looks like they got their wish. You know, all the making fun of Favre and stuff? All this indecisiveness? I mean good lord the man isn’t human. Is he really that good at this age? You know what the best part is?
He’ll never be targeted for using steroids. Sure he was/probably is addicted to pain killers but steroids? Nah. He’s only 39 years old and threw lasers for 3 TD’s. He couldn’t possibly be on steroids.
I respect what Favre is doing at his age but I highly doubt it’s without chemical assistance.
Roethlisberger will appear with some of his offensive linemen on the wrestling showcase, just one night after the Steelers entertain the Chargers at Heinz Field
You gotta love the NFL. These guys make millions of dollars in the most violent sport out there (save for Rugby) and simply get can’t enough. Instead of spending time with family, let’s just get on out to watch other big grown men who take steroids fake beat the crap out of each other.
The WWE reports that Roethlisberger frequents the circuit’s events with teammates when they visit the Pittsburgh area.
How about a strip club? How about going out with young college chicks? OK, these guys do that too. I guess I’m just really jealous of this ultimate male lifestyle.
The New York Jets’ speedy wide receiver was benched by an angry coach Rex Ryan for the team’s game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday after Clowney complained on Twitter about a lack of playing time
A few hours after the Jets beat New England 16-9 last Sunday, Clowney tweeted: “1 play in the 1st Half, 4 plays in the 2nd half … A bit disappointed about my playing time but very happy and satisfied about the win.”
Clowney added in a subsequent tweet that, “My team always comes first so I’ma just keep grinding.”
Keep grinding huh? Like going on a social network and writing 180 characters or less on the subject? What are you kidding me? In the NBA I could expect this. Hell, even in major league baseball. But now we’re getting the toughest men in sport whining about their playing time on Twitter?
Benched? I’m pretty sure all of the players on the Jets should be hazing the shit out of Clowney. First of all your name is Clowney. Second of all I would expect some kind of LOL message or ridiculous string of tweet messages on this guy’s locker.
At the least they should put a large Tweet sticker that says “Pansy” on Clowney’s car. I don’t think a simple benching by Rex Ryan is enough. I mean there vagina moves and there are vagina moves.
I’ve made quite a bit of fun of John Daly on this website. And I’m always torn between thinking “here’s a man who completely wasted of all his talent,” and “here’s a guy who knows exactly what he’s doing.”
Would you rather spend every waking minute working on your shots like Tiger Woods? Or would you rather party your ass off and get by on your talent?
Personally I’d take the former over the latter. However, to each their own. And if posing with Hooters chicks and wearing funny pants is a life, then John Daly has a great life.
Guy looks like he’s at least 60 and now I think he’s just sporting these pants for shits and giggles.
As I’m sure many of you are quite aware that earlier this week Buffalo Bills kick returner Leodis McKelvin had his property vandalized this week after his late-game fumble led to the Bills’ loss to the Patriots.
And I’d imagine that this particular incident lead many people to realize that “hey, football players are human beings too,” and just maybe going the distance of invading personal property really isn’t cool.
On the other hand, there are definitely some people out there who are probably thinking “man, that was definitely a sweet move, but I wonder how it can be more effective.”
Yes, the Herschel Walker who ran over people on his way to a Heisman Trophy at Georgia, signed with the USFL, was traded by the Cowboys to acquire a future franchise worth of players from the Vikings, competed in Olympic bobsledding and had a decent showing on The Celebrity Apprentice.
Man I wish this were ten years ago. Guy is going to come out like Larry Holmes against Mike Tyson. Still though, I’m curious to see what this man is capable of in the ring.
Why at 47 though Herschel? Come on buddy! I mean I know you can kick my ass and all but really? I can only assume the man has financial problems right now.
This should be interesting to say the least…or not.
