Pittsburgh Zoo Animals Will Show You What's Up

I guess the Pittsburgh Zoo didn't take too kindly to the fact that stupid Ravens fans were trying to snake our idea of getting team support from animals.

So we got elephants and sea lions, bitches!

At first, I'm thinking, "What does an elephant eating a Here We Go, Steelers sign have to do with supporting the team?" Then, I quit caring about that part because sea lions start furiously twirling Terrible Towels with their mouths. So I smiled really hard and forgot about the sign.

I can watch those sea lions spin around about a million more times. This has severely lessened my anxiety about the upcoming game.

Um...we both have first-round byes, LenDale. This game wasn't that important. But whatever helps you get through the day.

Next time, try and disrespect the Towel before you already have the game won and see what happens, you pompous shit.

And chew your food, fatass.

Magic is Only Cool When Beer and the Steelers are Involved

I'm not gonna lie, magic freaks me out from time to time. Sure, card tricks blow my mind, and I'm almost sure that Criss Angel is Jesus, but magic is just...weird.

However, if you can somehow combine magic, beer and the Steelers, well...I just might tune in.

The fellow in this video is named Al Hastings, and he's obviously trying to convert me into a magic-lover. With merely a Terrible Towel and a camera mounted on the shelf or some shit, Al makes beer...uh...magically appear (sorry). This dude would be a hit in section 521 at Heinz.

I kinda need to learn this trick.

Sunday Needs To Get Here

Dude, I can't wait much longer. Fewt-ball season began last night, and now my appetite for the NFL has been severely whetted.

The only thing that can sustain me is the roar from Heinz Field and the sea of Terrible Towels. Those are all for you, Myron.

Sunday Steelers kickoff is only days away, which means tomorrow will have a rare weekend post here at PSaMP, and it'll be cross-published at OFTOT. Our pregame show/analysis should be up at some point, so check back frequently. We don't have a set time or anything. We're bloggers...come on. So send your show title ideas to either me or Cotter. You guys have sucked about as much as us, and we still haven't zeroed in on a choice.

We'll see you tomorrow...and HERE WE GO STEELERS!

Rashard Mendenhall Doesn't Like Ron Zook, Illinois

(picture blatantly stolen from Kiss 96.1)

From Foul Balls via Deadspin comes news that Steelers first round pick Rashard Mendenhall is not a fan of former coach Ron Zook. The story comes full circle for Pittsburgh fans, as their newest player is upset with a former Steelers special teams coach.

Foul Balls links to this article, and pulls some very interesting quotes:


"Everything always looks good on the outside," Mendenhall said. "Nobody really knows except for the people who are there and involved with it. The only thing being on the outside that you can know is what people allow you to know from talking to me or from talking to (Ron) Zook or anybody within the organization."

Bottom line for Mendenhall was that he didn't enjoy the season the way you think he might have.
"When you find things that were said, you can kind of read between the lines and see that everything wasn't as it appeared to be," Mendenhall said.

Mendenhall's current relationship with the Illinois football program can best be described as strained. You won't see him on the sidelines of Illinois games during the upcoming season. Or in future years either.

"To tell you the truth, as long as Ron Zook is there it will be hard for me to support the University of Illinois football team," Mendenhall said.

Reached Saturday afternoon, Zook said "I feel bad that he feels that way."


Wow, tough words for Zook and the Illinois program. I wonder what actually set him off? FB speculates about playing time for both Rashard and Rashard's brother, Walter, who just transferred out of the program.

Either way, Rashard Mendenhall won't be cheering his former team, or making any appearances at his alma mater.
