Good Morning Boys and Girls...

Here's some links and morning news from Snack...Diego should have his Monday Morning Hangover done sometime today (we hope)...

Last night, the Steelers held a gala recognizing the 75th anniversary of the team as well as the naming of the All-Time Steelers team...It's always nice to see old guys such as Jack Ham and Mean Joe rubbing elbows with big C. Hamp and Hines...and judging by how Mean Joe looks, he could still put on the pads and rip Old Balls McNair a new one...

Yea, I'm the man...

In other Steeler news, the Ravens come to town tonight, fresh off their bye and angry as hell over a 4-3 record...Oh no, I'm scared of a 72 year old Ray Lewis chasing down Willie from behind...HAHAHAHAHA....with the exception of Ed Reed, their defense is good, not great, and the Steelers SHOULDN'T have any problems, but as we all know, that doesn't mean it'll be easy...GO STEELERS!!!

In honor of my boy Dog, who appears to be dead in the water since his show was taken off the air, I'm posting what I consider the funniest South Park clip ever...Peace out, Dog, hope you enjoyed your 15 minutes, we all sure as hell did...

That strike I discussed yesterday has happened...The Writers Guild of America is on strike , meaning that all of your favorite shows may have to play repeats...But not until Christmas, as most primetime shows were smart enough to tape well ahead...Watch out though, Stephen Colbert, John Stewert and Jay Leno are all up the creek without a paddle...

Today's the day they announce John Russell as manager...I was somewhat excited about this, until I read that one reason he was hired was that his horrible team last year didn't quit on him...No one, besides his ex employer (who is bound by professional code to sing his praises) has mentioned what a great baseball guys he is. Maybe I'm just not aware of his other talents, but why would we hire a manager who had a 55-88 record last year including having the league's worst team ERA, least homeruns and fewest runs scored? Looks like he was managing the AAA version of the Buccos. A losing minor league season AND a previous stint with our Buccos (post-1995)...How did we get so lucky?

I wonder who's hand he had to shake to get this job...

Finally, we want to start your work week off in style...so here's a link to the trailer for John Rambo, the last movie in the Rambo series (which still stars Sly Stallone)...This thing has got to be the best trailer I've seen in years, and I'd like to thank loyal reader Bobinkle for helping his boy Snack out...

Until lata today...

Pens lose 3-2...and a link or two...

The Pens lost last night, 3-2 to the Colorado Avs...It was an OK game, with the Pens jumping out to a 2-0 lead, but, of course, the hometown Avs made a rousing comeback and put young Danny Sabourin in his place...At least Sid had two goals, maybe this and his four point game against the Wild will get him back on his usual God-like pace...

Hang your head buddy, hang your head ...

It looks like no matter who we have in the crease, the soft goals continue...I think we may need to get another goaltender for the stretch run if we plan on winning the Cup this year...Maybe a Chris Osgood sighting? And what ever happened to Moose, he'd be a great fit...Here's a recap of the game from ESPN for you to check out...

As far as last night went, we went to the William Penn Tavern in Shadyside...since Snack's back was in shambles he wasn't there long enough to review the bar, but he did notice low priced drinks and that the waitresses were pretty good lookin...All in all, not a bad joint, definitely worthy of your time...

For links, I'm only going to put up a couple this morning as Diego (hopefully) is doing a bunch of links and his usual Pens recap for this afternoon...

Hope you like re-runs...The Writers Guild of America is discussing walking out, which would mean production would halt on all shows using WGA writers...so basically everything but reality tv...God help us all...

Please, WGA, don't let this be all we see on TV...

Finally, it looks like Dog got ratted out by his own son, Tucker...It was Tucker's girlfriend Dog was going off about, but I think old Tucker's just pissed cause he's never on the show. His cage fighting, bounty hunting, Dog loving brother Leland is gonna beat the snot outta him...

Would you want this big-eared bastard coming after you?

Until lata...

Good Morning Boys and Girls...

First off, I wanna thank everyone for stopping by the site and making it a huge hit after only 4 days...All of our fellow bloggers (Mondesi, penguinsbuzz, thepensblog, etc...) have been sweet so far, and I also wanna apologize for the site looking all wild sometimes, as we're still getting the hang of this, so thanks for bearing with us... All that being said, it's time for some news... Dominating my world today was the racist rant of my favorite reality star, Duane "Dog" Chapman, went on while discussing his son's girlfriend with him...

Find Christ, brah!

Come one now, Dog, was this really necessary? You were once the man that all of white trash America (no idea why seeing as you're a big Hawaian, but I digress) idolized you for your badass bear mace and your huge-boobed wife. Your image as the God-fearing criminal-turned-bounty hunter is gone...Now you're just another jagoff who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut...Dumbass...

In other news...The Post-Gazette reports that not only does it appear John Farrell will stay with the BoSox, but it also looks like we may not have an announcement on the manager until November 12...You have got to be kidding me..I guess no one wants to work for Mr. Huntington...can't say I blame them...

Keep smilin', Neal, it can only get better...

Finally, a little known fact I'd thought I'd throw out to our loyal readers...since there is no NBA team in Pittsburgh, and in good conscious I can't root for the Cavs, my favorite team is the Mavs (Cuban's from the Burgh, get off me). Anyway, in NBA news, it looks like Kobe won't go to Dallas as my man Cuban says no to the West Coast's most prolific playa...well, at least Colorado's...

Until this afternoon...
