--A Pokey Reese bobblehead and a young blond star in Bill Peduto's new ad campaign, focused on improving the method the city uses to decide which streets are repaired.
--Don't look now, but the Duquense Dukes are 4-0. Last night's victim, Oakland University and 24-year coach Greg Kampe, had this to say: "That's the best team to play in this building in 10 years except for Michigan State's Final Four team [in 1998]".
And now, you can follow the Dukes with what is billed as the first-ever Duquesne Dukes Basketball Blog. Welcome Dukes Court to the blogosphere!

--From the new book Gretzky to Lemieux about the '87 Canada Cup:
(Page 136) - "Well, maybe he (Gretzky) wasn't in the best shape on this night (Game 2 of the finals). Midway through the first overtime, there's a stretch when Gretzky is noticeably absent. The problem, as the Great One would later relate, is he'd worked himself to the point of exhaustion, lost control of his bodily functions, and wet himself while he was sitting on the bench."

As a Steeler fan, am I allowed to like Derek Anderson? Coming over to break up an interview...in the middle of Stover talking about how big of a win that was...to tell him we're going to overtime. That is awesome! Wasn't Anderson cut by the offensive genius Billick?
I wish I would have seen that live.
Great post about Penn State Mondesi. A similar article ran last week in the Post-Gazette.
As a Pitt fan, here's my list of excuses for our poor showing:
1. Wanny
2. Paul Rhodes
3. Matt Cavanaugh
Let this begin the loooooooooong list of senseless excuses explaining why Penn State is unable to compete in an average Big Ten Conference.
While I'm reading the excuses, I'll be watching some Indiana-Northwestern women's volleyball on the Big Ten Network....can't wait!
