Special 1 TV Episode 2

Very funny, as usual. "You have a Brasilian and your Arse Shaven?" Hilarious line.

Be Champions.

Shadow Seen

The groundhog has seen its shadow and predicts 52 more weeks of Super Bowl Champions.

New Steeler

Courtesy of Mondesi's House, today's Steeler parade led to the discovery of a new Steeler...none other than Pitt's DeJuan Blair. Apparently Charlie Batch (another native Pittsburgher) snuck him on to the float. With watching Zack and Miri Make a Porno today, I've had my fill of Pittsburgh. Great scenes of Pittsburgh.

My Top 5 Super Bowl Ads

5. Coke Zero

I love the original commercial with Mean Joe Greene. At first, I did not like the commercial with the Coke Zero guys, but Troy redeemed the commercial with the tackle. Definitely made me laugh.

4. Career Builder

I love this commercial, especially the "Hey dummy" part.

3. Bridgestone- Jump Around

I love the prospect of wheels being stolen on another planet. Hilarious!

2. Pepsi- I'm Good

You cannot go wrong with male pain.

1. Doritos- Crystal Ball

I like the throwing of the crystal ball into the snack machine. It also really tied into The Office when Kevin threw the chair into the snack machine.

Thoughts?

Psychostick- Beer!

In honor of all of Steeler Nation drinking, enjoy the sounds of Psychostick. This is a great song!

Church Brew Works

On a Super Bowl weekend, it was only proper to go to a brewery in Pittsburgh. The choice for Church Brew Works was made, located on Liberty Avenue in Pittsburgh. The brew pub is located in an old church which makes for a great setting.

The Beer

My first beer, and favorite beer of the night, was the Sleigh Wrecker.

From 01-31-09

This beer has a very robust flavor, tasting of chocolate and caramel. The beer is a winter warmer and definitely warms you on the inside. I am a big fan of this beer, especially since the hop content is low.

The second beer I had was Halbert's Saison.

From 01-31-09

While not quite as good, the beer had a great flavor. I think it was a little to fruity for my liking, but it was still drinkable.

The Food

I ordered the Pittsburgh Pierogie Pizza for dinner and it was excellent.

From 01-31-09

If you like pierogies, I highly suggest ordering this pizza. It is a very filling meal, as it is a 14" pizza covered with potatoes and cheeze. What a heavenly treat!

Overall

I had a great time at the Chruch Brew Works. The food was excellent and so was the beer. I highly recommend making a trip to the Church.

Special 1 TV

I love David Beckham's confusion over the David statue.

Hoobastank- For(n)ever

Hoobastank |MTV Music

Hoobastank has returned with the album For(n)ever. I am very pleased with this album. The first single "My Turn" is embedded and really rocks. The first time I heard it I enjoyed it, and every time I hear it I cannot get the guitar riff out of my head. It's good that Hoobastank has basically abandoned the bubble-gum pop rock of The Reason and put out a rocking record that gets its roots from their self-titled album. Check it out!

Bloodhound Gang- The Bad Touch

The Bloodhound Gang |MTV Music

My throwback song that I am throwing at you today is The Bloodhound Gang's "The Bad Touch". This song on its own is hilarious, but the video puts the icing on the cake.  Enjoy!

Impact of Beckham

Beckham scored again today for AC Milan and I feel this all but solidified his move to Milan permanently. He has called the gaLAxy "frustrating", and I totally agree. In fact, I am sort of sick of the Beckham circus that surrounds the team. Yes, he is still a great player and nobody plays a better dead ball than him. But I feel that he cannot exist on a team in MLS that does not have Landon Donovan (which is all but likely).

This is a very good time for the gaLAxy for to start from scratch with their Designated Player slot. Michael Owen would be an excellent replacement for Donovan. While he doesn't have the star power that Beckham does, he will give the gaLAxy plenty of goals.

Now, does Beckham leaving hurt the MLS? I believe it does right now, as the network is already scrambling with poor ESPN ratings. Beckham is the only player that could consistently sell tickets. I don't believe the gaLAxy will have ticket trouble at home, but the hosting teams will see a significant drop off when LA comes to town. Less tickets means less revenue and no Beckham means less attention. However, I think with less media attention on the team, the gaLAxy themselves will play better. So for the league, it will hurt significantly. But the team has nowhere to go but up, and in the long run, LA playing well has done well for the league.

Barack and Michele Do What?

Saw this video and about spit out my soda.

Another Reason to Like Pittsburgh West

According to Kiper's mock draft, the Arizona Cardinals could draft Pittsburgh running back LeSean McCoy. While the draft is far away and many things could change, the pick would make sense provided that Edge still wants out of Phoenix. If he changes his mind, I can't see Arizona drafting a running back as they would have three potential starters. But putting McCoy with other Pitt grads such as Larry Fitzgerald and Gerald Hayes (read Larry FitzGerald Hayes) makes the Cardinals a likeable and watchable team. However, the likeing only begins after Sunday.

Go Steelers

From 1-24-08

One week away from the Super Bowl, and the fever has reached Central Pennsylvania. The photo above was taken from Commerce Bank's corporate headquarters in Harrisburg, PA.

Nugget Nectar

Today I went to the Troegs brewery to get some fresh Nugget Nectar. This is their spring seasonal, and it is very excellent. I am not usually a fan of beers that have such high hop content, but Troegs finds the way to blend the hops with taste so that it is not overwhelming.

I already have a Nugget Nectar glass, so of course I would use it for drinking this beer.

According to the glass, 7.5% alcohol and 93ish IBUs. I highly recommend trying this beer, as I will drink it regardless of the hop content.

Sam Adams...Goes Down Smooth

By now I am sure you have heard that the Portland, Oregon's mayor is in some hot water over a relationship with a teenage intern. Well, whenever there is a story, there is a profit to be made. At Penfifteentees.com (great name, btw), you can purchase the following shirt for $20:




I am a big fan of this shirt, and may have to purchase one. Gave me a good laugh at the office today during lunch. The story has also provide my coworkers and I plenty of pun opportunities. The t-shirt website has some other great t-shirts for you to check out.
