I'm moving again. Not in real life. Just the blog. Vox is an interesting hybrid of blog and social networking site, but for how I use it, it's neither fish nor fowl. Wordpress works much better for my purposes, and it gets along with MarsEdit qui...

Trade Deadline 2008: Conflicted

2008-02-27T01:22:32Z

Two trades for the Penguins today. Defenseman Hal Gill from Toronto for Pittsburgh's 2nd and 5th round picks in the 2008 draft. Gill is 6' 7", all of it mean. He's very good at parking himself in the slot on the penalty kill and beating on anybo...

I can't pick football

2008-01-28T03:43:50Z

In the interest of a) proving that I'm still alive, and b) proving how little I really know about football, I'm publishing the picks I had made for this season* and comparing them to how things actually happened. I even came up with a little scori...

The Obligatory Mitchell Report Post

2007-12-13T20:03:45Z

Do you think Kevin Young started on the juice before he went downhill or because he went downhill? Do you even remember Tim Laker? Those are the only two players in the Mitchell Report who were on PEDs while on the Pirates roster, according to t...

Bad Advice

2007-12-10T19:52:15Z

You know how, when you're a kid, your parents tell you to stand up to a bully because bullies can't take retaliation? Imagine coming home from that confrontation with a broken nose, two black eyes, and an earful of obscenities. Patriots 34, Steel...

Call it the "52 Pickup" line.

2007-11-13T20:58:30Z

What is it about the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise that chews up coaches and spits out a pile of picked-clean bones? I ask this because Michel Therrien is rolling full speed ahead into the "lost his shit" phase, which has signaled the end of ever...

Yes, once again, I've fallen behind

2007-11-12T19:11:41Z

Having a Real Job will do that sometimes. Having a third period like we did against the Maple Leafs will do that, too. Toronto 5, Pittsburgh 2: 25 Oct 2007 Exasperating 20 minutes of hockey, after the score was tied at 1-1. Montreal 3, Pittsburg...

Pens vs. Rangers: 23 October 2007

2007-10-25T04:06:43Z

I'll keep this one short, because a few themes persisted throughout the game: Ryan Malone was flying all night. Brooks Orpik was meaner than he's been the past few nights. Marc-Andre Fleury was sharp. The posts behind Marc-Andre Fleury were shar...

Dear Bruce Arians,

2007-10-22T04:00:28Z

Run. Run the bloody football. Run the bloody football all over the 32nd rushing defense in the National Football League. I don't give a damn if Denver is putting eight men in the box. You can bet your fancy Coordinator title that the Broncos ha...

Pens vs. Hurricanes: 19 October 2007

2007-10-20T06:51:13Z

“Pittsburgh penalty, number 55, Sergei Gonchar, 2 minutes for hooking. Time of the penalty, 0:25.” Yeah, that quick. “Carolina goal, his second of the season, scored by number 13, Ray Whitney. Assisted by number 8, Matt Cullen, and number 17, Rod...
