Expansion Monday!

Hey Yinzers,

So everyone put on your hardhats, there are going to be major changes on the MSM in the next few weeks and this past weekend we took a gigantic step in making the blog a lot better.

We would like to welcome to the MSM family , Cowboy Troy who stopped by the studio and was one of the nicest human beings that I have ever met! Along with Troy I met Chris and Jason from CoalTrain. They are both Yinzers and huge stiller fans. I look forward to hearing from these guys throughout the season. To check out all of their new stuff go to the Friends of the MSM and click on their links. Look for new albums by both these great artists real soon!

Thanks again from the MSM

Recap of the Steelers 16 Eagles 10:

I am very happy with the opening game in preseason from the Steelers. The first team offense including the O line looked impressive. Can someone stop Willie Parker? I do not think so. Ben looked amazing and Linus Sweed and Mr. Mendenhol look like they will be in Steeler Black and Gold for a Very long time.

The only negative as I am sure that you know is that our backup QB Charlie Batch will be out , with a broken collar bone for 4-6 weeks. The Steelers wasted no time in going out and trying to find a Backup for Ben immediately. They are talking to long time JAG Byron Leftwich. A deal could be done early Monday Morning.

Defense looked pretty damn good. It is time for Larry and the Boys to open it up on our schedule this year. I hope that all this talk about Anthony Smith is just attitude and rumor. It was being said that he is kind of being childish at practice and not taking his role seriously. I hope maybe that someone can talk to him and right the ship. Because as Steeler fans know the Rooney's will not put up with attitude and crap like that. You are only as good as the people around you.

Crank up the STYX!

UFC 87

So, Saturday night we had a problem with the cable network and did not get to see the UFC pay per view. Kind of a bummer. But from what I have read Brock Lesnar won a decision in his fight 30-26. This pretty much saved his career in MMA. Dana White president of UFC said he was very impressed with Lesnar and the way he approached the fight.

Everyone else that was supposed to win pretty much did so, oh and George Rush is a Freak of Nature. Note to self do not fight him in this lifetime.

MSM death tournament

So as we continue to wind down to the final matches in the MSM death tournament I can't thank yinz enough for all the comments and scenarios that I could never think of in a million years to make it quite a little event.

Over the weekend it was pretty clear that even though the Olympics is in full swing- the Huxtables were almost untouched/scathed in the battle with Uncle Sam. They will continue on in the tournament.
