I better see A LOT of this tonight!
We have Steelers at Rams, Pitt playing Duke and the Pens at Boston all happening tonight. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I will only be able to catch Pitt on ESPN and the Steelers on America's favorite channel, the NFL Network, so my remote control should not implode from the channel surfing.
The Steelers have to win tonight...have to. Steven Jackson has returned to his form over the last few weeks (good for my fantasy team, bad for the Steelers) and our run defense has been a bit suspect as of late. And I think we can all agree that he is a better back than Freddy T. Hopefully two consecutive losses and the division hanging in the balance will motivate these guys to lock it up tonight. Plus it would really suck for my sister-in-law to have to return to work with Bulger's pops next week. So what if Marc's from the 'burgh...he went to W
VU for God's sake!

VU for God's sake! By the way, enjoying every moment of the train wreck that is the West Virginia football program right now. From the death threats to the kicker, to the bolting of Rodriguez (what a punk!), to the mayor of Rich's hometown taking down "Home of Rich Rodriguez" signs. You stay classy West Virginia!
The Pens have Conklin making his first start in goal tonight after the injury bug has run rampant. Hopefully the Pens can get one in the win column after getting shutout by the Rangers on Tuesday. Plus, it's always nice to beat a Boston team.
Speaking of beating a Boston team, kudos the DEEEEEtroit Pistons for coming up with a win against the almighty Celts last night. I watched quite a bit of that game and Boston gave their last possesion of the game to Paul Pierce who really was not on his game all night long. The Pistons hung with them all game but really didn't take control until the 4th quarter. A lot of big names in the game but I'm not sure there is a more underrated defender or outside shooter in the league than Tayshaun Prince.
In other news, here is the obligatory Tim Tebow shout out: Tim was named AP Player of the Year yesterday. Seriously, he could probably run for governer in Florida and win right now.

Some Thursday newslinks for you:
- More bad national news out of J-Ville. A chemical explosion took the life of 4 people and injured more than a dozen others. I felt like I was watching video of the H-Bomb when I saw that mushroom cloud. Just horrible.

- Jacksonville is drunker than the 'burgh?!?! Say it ain't so! http://www.menshealth.com/drunk/
- My husband Ben stopped by the WDVE Xmas party to sing about balls. Of course the Mayor (A.K.A. The biggest jock sniffer in the 'burgh) managed to get a picture with Benny.
