I know I haven’t wrote much on here lately. I have been very busy with my other blog, Fitness Overhaul and to be honest am a little disgusted with the whole sporting world recently. I had a bunch of stuff that I was going to write about the Pirates sucking and instead of them sucking, they are actually doing pretty decent.

I was going to write about the Pens and Crosby being the best player, but I’ve been told that I write too much about Crosby. That being said, he’s one of the reasons that the Pens and Sens are tied at one game a piece. Also, I would like to say to the rest of the so called fans out there, Get off of Fleury’s back! If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t of one the Stanley Cup last year. I love listening to armchair goalies that are probably more nonathletic than Mark Madden, call in to radio shows saying how bad number 29 is. Give me a break, guys. Who really cares about the guys stats, he’s still a winner. I know that he lets in some soft goals, but what goalie doesn’t?

For all of the Fleury bashers out there, who do you think that the Flyers or even the Caps would like to have in the net for their team? If you asked them to switch goalies, they would do it in a heartbeat.

Ok, on to Ben. I really don’t even know what to say about this guy anymore. I know he can throw a football, but beyond that, he hasn’t showed that he can do much of anything else good. Like function as an adult and be a productive part of society, maybe?

Who knows what this guy will do next. Of course, I don’t know what really happened in that bathroom. As it turns out with how drunk that girl was, she may not even know for sure. The one thing that I do know is that this guy has a history of putting himself in stupid situations. I hope that he can get his act together and concentrate more on football and less on partying.

Oh well, that’s my take on sports in Pittsburgh this past week or so. Lets go Pens! Lets go Buccos! And Ben, please just stay in the house for awhile!

So is Sidney Crosby the best player on the ice? After taking a few days to get over the loss to Canada, I am finally ready to give my take on it. I’ve talked to several people that are really upset that it was Crosby that scored the goal in overtime to beat the United States in Men’s Olympic hockey.

I on the other hand am not upset at all. Sid has to come back and gear up for the last twenty games of the NHL season and hopefully a deep run in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Would you rather him, Gonchar, Fleury and Malkin all come back losers? Especially with the enormous expectations that were put on Sid, he will definitely come back in a better frame of mind than if they would of lost.

Don’t get me wrong, I wanted the USA team to win regardless, but at least this is a way to lessen the pain of losing. In the beginning of the games, very few people thought that we would make it very far and what they did, far exceeded most people expectations. I know that the US team expected to win, but most others didn’t. I congratulate Team USA for how great they did, and I have even more respect for Ryan Miller after watching these Olympic games.

I’m ready for the NHL games to start for the Pens tomorrow and get back to normal. I think if the United States wasn’t going to win, then I wouldn’t of wanted it any other way. Besides, just think how much you would of hated it if we were playing Russia for the gold and Ovechkin got the winning goal! Now that would of really been hard to take! Great job, Sidney. Let’s go Pens, how about another Stanley Cup!!!!

I don’t think that I have ever seen this much excitement all around for hockey in the Olympics as there is this year. Is it me or is there really a buzz going around this time more than ever?

It is pretty exciting and I am looking forward to watching some great hockey! Of course I would love to see the United States somehow get a medal and as we know from 1980, it could happen. The favorite for a lot of reasons though is Canada and a big reason is because of Sidney Crosby. How well he plays will determine a lot about how well Team Canada does in the 2010 Olympics, when it comes to hockey anyways.

So will Sid be the best player on the ice in the Olympics? Of course this is all just a matter of opinion and there will always be some debate whether he is or isn’t. The Olympics will have the best of the best from all countries, but in reality so does the NHL. It’s not like there is a bunch of talent from other countries that choose not to play in the NHL. So if you believe that Sidney Crosby is the best player on the ice during any given night of the NHL schedule, you have to at least consider the same in the Olympics. Read the rest of this entry »

Clark Griswold

Here’s a picture of our English Bulldog, Clark Griswold.

He was around 3 months old in this picture. He’s now almost 8 months old and close to sixty pounds! He’s a big fatass and we love him. Read the rest of this entry »

Sidney Crosby is arguably the best player on the ice on any given night. Of course when you’re great, you are going to have some haters out there that pounce on any weakness that you have. The most common knocks against Sid are that he’s not physical enough, he passes too much and is not a true goal scorer. . .  more of a play maker, and he isn’t good at faceoffs. Well, I think he must of been listening, because he has improved this year on at least two of the three knocks. Read the rest of this entry »
