Steelers mania continues and Skirbs checks in…
Skirboll sent along this photo of himself at the Bowl. Not sure who that is with him but he looks familiar. Rip? Turns out he has been a regular blog reader/lurker. Who knew? I am still making my way through all the email about my Steelers column and trying to reply to them all. I […]
Steelers column feedback
I had not received a single email about my Steelers column as of the other day which seemed puzzling to me. I was just certain that this one was really good and would have struck a chord with ex Pittsburghers if no one else. I inquired and was told that there was a problem with […]
An eli scare/ trip to the hospital

It was anice quiet place.. large resort […]

Danny Rosen writes: I was blown away by what has happened here […]
Back from Thailand just in time for the Bowl
Well, we’re back from a hell of a trip. I will post pictures and full reports soon. But it as just an incredible journey and to end it with a red eye from Bangkok and right into the Super Bowl.. well, it’s almost too much for words. We left Phuket at 9 pm last night.. […]
