I'm pretty sure Mangino's from New Castle PA too.
Wow, a 450 lb balding guy with a mustache is from Western PA.... who woulda called that one?
As if we needed more evidence that Bill Simmons is an idiot.
Don't look now, but I just saw an article Simmons wrote loosely based on Sid Bream's fatefull 1992 slide into home.
mike super is a western pa boy... or at least spent some time here. my girlfriend says he used to do magic tricks at the italian oven in baldwin before it closed down.
That Dixon guy who was arrested at Heinz Field looks suspiciously like former Steelers WR Jahine Arnold.
Also, I've always that that Stephen A. Smith looks like the character Spoony Luv from "Crank Yanker."
I saw that the Sports Guy wrote an article to himself circa 1982. I can only guess there were 7 references to THE KARATE KID and 4 references to the Celtics.
Mike Super is from my hometown of Clairton. He performed at my senior prom and hypnotized a girl, and had her eat a lemon after telling her that it was a juicy orange. She tore it up, and didn't even make that sour face.
Who's Mike Super?
ain't nothing wrong with the karate kid!
that song from the Karate Kid played during the tournament (You're the best...Around! Nothing's ever going to keep you down!) is my phone ringtone. People that hear it know there is no other ringtone that could ever compare to it.
2 things wrong with jonny v:
1. Clairton
2. Ring tone
I went to a Pirate game last season, and "You're the best around, yadda yadda yadda yadda yad..." was Adam Laroche's at-bat music.
