VOTE FOR HHR!

Non-sports story real quick.

Take a minute and vote for my buds over at Hugging Harold Reynolds. They're up for the 2008 Weblogs Awards in the Best Sports Blog category.

I'm doing this because HHR is good friends with PSaMP, and they're facing a nearly insurmountable challenge. The current leaders have thousands of votes. HHR has a few hundred. So come on, people.

KSK SUCKS! APE IS A FAKE STEELERS FAN AND UFFORD IS A SEAHAWKS FAN WHO IS STILL PISSED ABOUT SUPER BOWL XL! THAT SITE IS NOT FUNNY AND SHOULDN'T WIN THE AWARD. ALL SUPPORT GOES TO HHR!

All joking aside, KSK is rightfully winning, because they have the readership and are one of the funniest sports blogs out there. Any other day, they'd probably get my vote. But I can't vote for them when my buds are directly competing.

And you should do the same. Vote for HHR!

Heinz Field Causes Head Trauma

This was on Deadspin two days ago, but I hadn't found the time to post it here. I was too busy worrying about Ryan Mundy, watching Steelers fans tackle the Octa-Bong and resting on my birthday laurels.

Still, this is a typical skateboarder/disaster video that one would typically find in Ufford's work. However, the setting for the epic head-slam is what gets me. Don't focus on the skateboarder, and you'll see that the kid is all up on the North Shore, trying to kill the area around the Carnegie Science Center and Heinz Field.

Now, I've never been much of a skateboarder. I tried as a kid, but falling sucks way too much, so I gave it up after two boards and countless bruises. I gotta say, though, even if I could thrash with the best of them, the mere sight of Heinz Field would distract me long enough in mid-air to cause extensive damage to the back of my skull as well.

Gah, that's a rough video. I hate skateboard-wreck videos, especially back in the first installment of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for original Playstation when you unlocked the extra highlight reels, only to be ambushed by the spot clips of dude's breaking their ankles. I'm gonna vom just thinking about it.
