Super Bowl XL

Wow...Fridays suck. Its almost the weekend, and I'm so looking forward to Saturday.

The Pens don't play til Sunday (on NBC...against the Phlyers), the Pirates held Billy Crystal hitless and Pitt upset Louisville in the Big East Tournament. There's some good happening in our local sports landscape, but its safe to admit that we're in a lull...so let's look back on our Steelers.

If you're feeling nostalgic today (or just want to fritter a BUNCH of time away at work), I've found complete video of Super Bowl XL, broken up into quarters. And yes, the Stones are in video 3, if that's all you care about.

The quality isn't the best, but there's nowhere else to watch Super Bowl XL on the interwebs.

So enjoy.

...

That's right. No Muresan on the visiting team.

I'll let you know what Billy Crystal does, seeing as how he's leading off the bottom of the first.

UPDATE: Crystal struck out on what should be his only AB of the game. Paul Maholm got lucky.

Ummmm...Who Is This Guy?

I understand that the Pirates are a laughingstock, but old losers are more of a laughingstock in my book.

And my book rules. You'd totally buy my book if I published it.

Billy Crystal tomorrow.

Sign Gheorghe Muresan

In light of the Yankees signing Billy Crystal to play against Pittsburgh on Thursday, I'm pleading the Pirates organization to make a splash themselves.

Sign Gheorghe Muresan.

I know the Pirates front office hasn't listened to the fans in, oh, 15+ years, but now is the time to hear our voice. In Muresan's case, we'd at least get a former athlete rather than his fellow My Giant headliner, better known as the guy who brought us Analyze That.

We only need him for like a one-day contract. I'm not saying to invest an entire season on Muresan's rock-solid knees. Just enough to intimidate the hell outta the Yanks.

If Crystal lights up the Buccos, I will give up my undying allegiance to the team.
