Pittsnogle is WVU. WVU is bad.

I don't know if the song is online anywhere, but it's funny.

I love it when you correct me. Do it again S. Choir

Yo,

Forreal though. I think Pittsburgh is gonna win. LOL

Sorry Seahawk fans. Or maybe I'm NOT sorry... you can rely on the fact that I was 0-2 in the championship games.

Folx in the Pacific Northwest are going ape! We got a memo at work that in place of regular dress code, we are allowed to wear Seahawks 'nalia...it must be in good shape

We are not allowed to wear Steelers nalia

So either Seahawks nalia or be in regular dress code

Dude. That sounds freaking awesome. LOL
That really is though. When was the last time there was a good Seattle team you know? The Mariners F'ed up in 2001, the Super Sonics lost back in 96...

This is awesome for Seattle.




Meanwhile in Pittsburgh. I was watching the news and apparently last week some kid wore a John Elway jersey to school. His teacher encouraged all the kids to roll up paper balls and throw it at him. Lol Pittsburghers are nutsos man. Nutsos

They are letting you wear it because they sell it there. Where else are you going to buy it but where you get a discount? Sneaky sneaky way to make more sales!

I just wish people that are Eastern Washington adjacent would tone it down, as they're bandwagoning and it is sad.

That kid was looking for attention to even wear that jersey to school - ANYBODY who has lived within 100 miles of here would have known better. Frankly, I'm surprised that he wasn't beat up on the playground!

I actually didn't even know WV was good at basketball until they destroyed us. I'm still working on this Big East nonsense. At least we beat Connecticut!

Thanks for reminding me...if it wasn't for you all, they'd still be undefeated.

(Growing up in CT, I'm a huge UConn basketball fan. BU's basketball team didn't change that)

Haha, I thought so, just checking.

WOO HOO
 
The NFL announced Wednesday that Seahawks rookie linebacker Lofa Tatupu and center Robbie Tobeck have been added to the NFC Pro Bowl roster. Due to injuries, Tatupu replaces Chicago’s Brian Urlacher and Tobeck replaces Chicago’s Olin Kreutz. Originally selected as alternates, it is each player’s first trip to Hawaii.

This raises the total to seven Seahawks players who will be on the NFC roster, which ties a franchise record set in 1984 when the team also had seven players in the Pro Bowl.

Leave it to a guy from Boston (especially Borges) to write the requisite "Underdog/Unappreciated" article.

I have been asked to send Terrible Towels to Macedonia, for my mother's cousins, who are stationed there!! :D

DeltAlum 01-27-2006 02:21 PM

John Elway was on local news last night with a Terrible Towel. Looks like he's picking and supporting Pittsburgh.

KSUViolet06 01-27-2006 04:12 PM

Go Steelers. Yes. They'd better win. I have $100 on them.

Then you will surely be most welcome in Pittsburgh when you make your visit.

For BOTH teams: Did you see the Waterford Crystal Football that will be engraved post game?

http://www.supernovainc.com/waterfor...g_football.jpg

I love Waterford, but I'm pretty sure that I'll pass on this one. Of course, it does have somewhat of a diamond in the middle...

AGDLynn 01-29-2006 09:39 PM

Could y'all please clarify possible timeline for me...I have EC at 4 and hope to be done by 6 and then it is at least a 45 minute drive.

Is the actual kickoff at 6 or a few minutes later or will it actually be closer to 6:30??

Thanks...pulling for the Seahawks b/c David Greene and don't care of a Yankee team.;)

AGDee 01-29-2006 10:47 PM

They say 6:00 but it will be a little later than that. But, you're going to miss Aretha singing the National Anthem. Teach these officers to be less chatty. Get EC down to an hour :)

Jill1228 01-29-2006 10:48 PM

Oh hell yeah...Aretha is my gurl!

Tom Earp 01-30-2006 06:46 PM

GO SEA HAWKS.:)

honeychile 02-01-2006 12:54 PM

A funny cartoon won't let me post here!

For those who don't know, CougADPi & I have a signature bet on the game! :D

They polled a ton of celebrities as to who would win... it's entertaining.

The vast majority pick my Steelers :)

Sasha Cohen has a nerve, with the Olympics coming up in another week or so!

I LOVED Shirley Jones' remark - she lived in the ADPi house back when she was Miss Pittsburgh!

AGDee 02-02-2006 11:15 PM

I got 0,0 as one of my squares... I hope nobody scores til the 4th quarter! And THEN, the Steelers can get 10 in the 4th so the final score is 10-0

uksparkle 02-02-2006 11:36 PM

I can't wait for Sunday. We even got Addie a little jersey:)

Joey Porter
 
Joey Porter is more than just talk

Porter Is More Than Just Talk

Guys like Joey Porter are the reason sports books should take prop bets on the week leading up to the Super Bowl.

The smart money for Player Most Likely to Go Off in a Press Conference would have been on Porter. And the Pittsburgh Steeler linebacker would have been easy money.

All it took was a little comment by Seattle tight end Jerramy Stevens — that the Jerome Bettis homecoming story would not have a happy ending because he would walk away a loser — for the wraps to come off Porter.

The Seahawks (and the quote-famished media) got Joey Porter unplugged, unleashed and unwrapped for two days. He called Stevens "soft" and a "first-round bust" and made it clear Stevens would be hearing from him come Sunday.

"I am out for anybody in blue, but definitely him," Porter said. "I have my chance to go out and I definitely will have my turn."

Everyone has their roles to play during Super Bowl week, and Porter dutifully performed his. The loudmouth, the outspoken guy, the loose cannon.

He's the guy who once got in a fight before the game even started.

He's the guy who accused the officials and the world at large of cheating for the Indianapolis Colts after the referee overturned an apparent Troy Polomalu interception in an eventual Pittsburgh playoff victory. That one earned him a rebuke by an otherwise supportive Bakersfield columnist, who called Porter's remarks "incredibly irrational and child-like."

But none of those labels sounds right to Ned Permenter, who coached Porter at Bakersfield's Foothill High.

"It's a bad rap," said Permenter, who retired four years ago after four decades on the job. "Joey is an emotional person in the pros. He does play with emotion. He puts himself out on a limb sometimes to make himself back it up.

"He didn't do that in high school. I had him on a short leash in high school."

Last summer, the coach and his former player even joked that Porter never did his dirt-kicking sack celebration at Foothill.

"No, Coach, you didn't condone that," Porter said.

The other major change with the Porter of today is that now he's in position to help others.

When Permenter wanted an item to use for a sports-collectible charity auction last fall, he sent a football to Pittsburgh, where Porter brought it to the Steeler locker room and had his teammates sign it, then returned it with a couple of Terrible Towels for packing. It went for $1,500.

The shoes the football team wears, the new ones with the swooshes on the side? Porter hooked them up from Nike.

He also gives college scholarships to two Foothill graduates every year, Permenter said.

Porter held a football camp last summer, bringing in teammates such as Bettis and James Farrior, and $17,000 in proceeds to Bakersfield's Richardson Center, a preschool for high-risk infants and special-needs children.

"It's refreshing to me when a local person becomes successful and they bring pride to our community," said Kern County Superintendent of Schools Larry E. Reider, whose district oversees the Richardson Center. "And it's even more refreshing to me when a person remembers their roots and gives back to that community. Joey has certainly done that. He's done it for sports. He's involved in our community. He's a good citizen and we're proud to have him."

Porter also raises money for autism research. His younger daughter, the second of his four children, is autistic.

And when running back Princeton McCarty of Bakersfield's West High tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the title game in December, Porter arranged for McCarty to have surgery at the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic in Los Angeles, paying for the operation.

"I'm just touched and appreciative of how he gives back," Reider said. "You always have to remember where you came from. And Joey's done that."

It's also important to remember who you are. Porter is the guy who speaks his mind, who breaks through the endless stream of cliches in Super Bowl week.

As the people of Bakersfield could tell you, things are usually better when Porter's around.
