THE NEWS: ADDENDUM

A.K.A. "Stuff That Came in After the Deadline and Is Too Good to Sit On For Another Week"

PICTURE OF THE DAY 2.0

A very popular submission throughout the day

SONG OF THE DAY

Our first Steeler-themed song, this one' called "Stairway to Seven", from The Dick Banks House Band of Dave Dameshek Show fame. I think you'll approve.

NFL/Steelers:

--The Baltimore Sun is running a poll comparing each position in Sunday's Steeler-Raven game. Feel free to cast your black-and-gold votes accordingly. [Baltimore Sun]

--Here's another poll: Ray Lewis’ Knife vs. Joe Flacco’s Unibrow. Again, vote responsibly. [Sports Pickle]


--Finally, someone takes a shot at Fox's stupid football robot. Figures that it would be the brilliant Conan O'Brien. [Awful Announcing]

--Beating teams three times in a season and Mike Tomlin using the phrase, "hocus pocus"...you know you have to click this. [Baltimore Sun]

--Jennifer Hudson is singing the National Anthem at this year's Super Bowl - and Martina McBride has the honors for the AFC Championship. [TV Week / PG]

--Click for the Steelers and help local food banks! [5 Golden Rings]

--Breaking news: Jesus wants the Ravens to win! [KSK]



NHL/PENS:

--Mark Madden drops knowledge on us about the Pens running the 1-2-2 trap. That's why they call him the Super Genius. [Mark Madden/WXDX]

MLB/PIRATES:

--Neal Huntington obviously read A.J.'s irate comment this morning, because he is insistent that the door is still open for Doug Mientkiewicz. [PG]

MISCELLANY:

--One of the greatest inventions ever: a map to tell you recent sightings of McDonald's McRib! [Kleincast.com]


--RIP, Ricardo Montalban. [Tirico Suave]

--DID YOU KNOW...that Ed Rendell's son Jesse is part of a Christian punk rock band called Don't Look Down? [Mog.com]

--The Times Square Virgin Megastore, which is the highest volume music store in the U.S., will shut down come April. It's a sad day for record stores. [Billboard]

--Looks like the suddenly-hot-again Mickey Rourke will be playing a villain in Iron Man 2. [FilmDrunk]

--The top 25 Bushisms of all time [Slate]

RANDOM THOUGHTS WORTH MENTIONING IN MY INBOX:

"I'm sure you covered this fact previously on the blog, but seeing a post about it reminded me...Sheila Dixon, Baltimore's embattled mayor, is the aunt of our very own starting SG Jermaine Dixon. Its been a huge story here in the DC region and of course on every news update on the subject they bring up the fact that she's related to UMD final four hero Juan and Pitt's Jermaine." -Brian B.

--"Got this off of the DVR. Does Tomlin look like he wants to tear someones head off or what?" - Dave from Fayette County

And to close....this is just awesome (from DVE):

If Steelerstahl submits a Steeley McBeam photo, I'm pushing for impeachment.

I'm pushing for impeachment anyways. What a putz and a glom.

I also have to congratulate Broke But Still Drinking for making me laugh as hard as I can remember for his "Suit from Marshall's" line.

Any idea where we can download "Stairway to Seven"??

Could the disclaimer from the "Sun" poll be more true?

Strong safety: Ravens' Jim Leonhard or Steelers' Troy Polamalu?
