10 Year Old Kids Bowl Better Than The Penguins

Feel-good stories rule.

Yesterday, the Pens joined up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for the inaugural Pens and Pins tournament. This is the type of thing where you can actually smile when a local athlete sucks.

The players who helped out served as a celebrity captain for each team. The newly-formed Penguins Wives Association set up the event, which included bowling, a bake sale and silent auction.

Potash (yes!) was there, as were a slew of Penguins players and their WAGs. However I have to cut up on a certain Pen, who obviously hasn't been watching his Lebowski or Kingpin. MAF, you may make me feel old and unaccomplished in life by being a successful athlete, but dammit, I could probably beat you at bowling. And I suck at bowling.


"I’m terrible,” Fleury noted. “I finished last in my group. These kids beat me. I didn’t expect that out of me, being so bad. I’ve got to work on that."


To top that off, here's what some kid had to say about MAF, emphasis mine:


"I already beat him, I don’t know if he’s that good at bowling,” Bryce Cunningham, 10, said. “It’s pretty fun because you just all get together and bowl."


BURN! Here's some more cool photos of the event.

Um...nice...form?


Sergei's looking healthy. Get that guy on the ice if he's well enough to hit the alleys.


Geno does NOT get Munsoned.

Why The Hell Does Ben Roethlisberger Like To Bowl So Much?

Run for the hills everybody, there's a giant shit-cloud coming!

Big Ben loves to bowl. A lot. Who the hell woulda guessed?

What, you think this one-time video isn't enough to form my own opinion? Well what happens when you couple that with that one video of Ben bowling in his college days? You know...this one?



Multiple videos of the same guy doing the same random thing means he does this a lot. If its been caught on video at least twice, then there's a certain frequency to the habit. Now, I'm not saying that bowling is a bad thing (I rather enjoy it), but its just weird to see the same guy playing the same fringe sport more than once.

Sometimes a bowler just has to face the music.

And that's YOUR FREAKING CONCUSSION, BEN! Watch the top video again. Now 100% believe the Youtube uploader's description of the video:


This was a few days after he got carted off the field on a stretcher on December 28, 2007 in the last regular season game...so he is used to the position he ends up in. This happened at Nemacolin Resort in Farmington Pennsylvania.


Serious? If Ben is fine enough to bowl, he's gotta have the concussion-cobwebs wiped out. So there's no blaming any mistakes on the injury, Ben. We have proof that you're fine.

Or...Ben's fall at the alley only made the concussion symptoms worse. Damn those slippy floors!

I'm stopping now...this is only getting worse as I keep typing.

Rest in Peace, Ernie Holmes

I was away from the Internet yesterday, so I had no chance to pay my respects to Ernie Holmes, who passed away in a car accident.

If you don't get the reference in the picture above, I must ask you to leave PSaMP, because we cannot be friends.

I was going to replace the bowling ball with a gun being fired at a helicopter, but that would've been in poor taste. And that bowling ball is too classic.

Rest in peace, Fats.
