Do you think Mr. Slate is hiring?

Hey Yinzers,

So with 25 games to go in the NHL season the penguins and GM ray Shero hit Micheal T. with the axe on Sunday. "Barney Rubble" is now out and Baby Pens coach is now in. With 25 games left and being in 10th place , needing to be in 8th to make the post season is really a tall task.

My question is do you think that the Pens can really pull this together, or will there be a smashing trade before the deadline? Every game is a must win from here on out-

Were' doomed.

Hump Day( don't tell mom ) !

Hey Yinzers,



So here we are at Rock-tober, just waiting on the leaves to change and the Football story lines to unfold. College Football is totally unpredictable this year, and has been quite interesting from start until ............the finish.



Baseball Playoffs start to heat up as the Phillies will take on the Revamped Joe Torre Dodgers, and the Reining champs the Bo-sox host the Unheralded Rays( no longer the Devil Rays) .

Over all with the pirates out of the mix and not a real emphasis in SC except for the Braves- Baseball season unless you are from the North east is dead. The season is in the Coffin. Pretty exciting I will make my prediction and I am not sticking to it by any means but I would like to see the Phillies vs the Bo Sox ( my luck it will be ) Rays, dodgers- oh well it is baseball.



NFL



So Jeff Reed is day to day with a calf muscle injury, this is another chapter in the Steelers are good and injured this year book. Thank goodness for the Off week. I am looking forward to just getting some work done this week- I also needed the off week. They will be back next week with Willie Parker and Co. vs the 0-5 Bengals. I am kinda worried about this game because you can never tell what a wounded Bengal could do.



NHL



Well The penguins are back home and resting from a long trip from Neutral land. It was great exposure to get over there and sell more Sidney Crosby Jerseys. In fact I think it is necessary for every Hockey fan to own a piece of Penguins merchandise at one point in their lives.



College Basketball



Why the hell can't I find Basketball schedules for this year, if someone can find me a preseason ranking or list of teams any where - help a brother out. I heard through my friends in Louisville that The Cardinals have a preseason ranking of #2. But I would like to see how far up they put Kansas as being over rated as usual this year again.

Here is another spooky Halloween video: ok kinda dumb!

I hope every one has a great Wed, and We can finally talk football tomorrow.

Don't Pick Us!

Hey Yinzers,

So the steelers are banged up knocked down and after last night they are 4-1 heading into the bye week. Well kiss it. I know I know everyone picked the Jax to beat us including alot of Pittsburgh People. When will people realize that the Steelers this year are really good. There are alot of things that we have to address though:

1. O-Line: the Oline is holding on by a thread, But I will take it! This is why you draft 2 and 3 deep at pro positions. If they were not good in this league they would not be on our roster.

2. Keep Ben from Fetal position: this goes with the first thing about the O line- wake up pick up blocks and give him time in the pocket. No more Alan Faneca references please.

3. Keep Jeff Reed from hurting himself. Last night it was reported late that Jeff reed while warming up on the sidelines injured himself- we will find out today the extent of the injury. This is the most significant injury. Reed is the best and most consistent steeler we have on many levels. Please hope for a fast recovery.

Penguins Hockey

The Pens opened the 2008- 2009 season in Stockholm Sweden , great. Thanks for letting us not see all of the games on VS. Because of wacky scheduling and ( my work schedule) I didn't get to see one ounce of Pens hockey this weekend. Give me a break. We split the series 1-1 with the Ottawa Crybabies. Pens next game is Saturday at the Igloo vs the Devils.

Gamecocks

Ok , Who let this team in? A team that doesn't give up , a Team that came back twice- give me a break. Chris Smelley looked magnificent in the big win over OLE miss this weekend. For a team that has been ridiculed all over town this weekend - way to go out and outplay, out coach and out - win another sub par team. This win is big for alot of reasons, first of all Ole Miss was coming off of beating Florida. We on the other hand are trying to put the season back together one game at a time. - This week we go into Lexington and I hope we kick Rich Brooks and those kitty kats. Man I hate KY.

Other Big winners this weekend:

Penn State: 6-0

Mizzou: First win in Nebraska since Electricity

Pitt: Pulling out a huge win on Thursday over South Florida

Have a great Monday!
