Steelers Hire Carnell Lake
The Pittsburgh Steelers finally hired a secondary coach, and it is most certainly not Chuck Cecil.

TODAY'S HEADLINES
Separated at Birth, Olympic hockey edition: Top-notch work by SI.com on this one. Niles Crane as Gonchar? I'm buying that. [SI]
Pitt up in rankings: A 2-0 week with wins over Marquette and Villanova moved the Pitt Panthers to #12 in the AP and #16 in the ESPN/USA Today poll, released today. Amazingly, that still ranks them only fifth among Big East teams. To reiterate, that's five of the top 12 teams in the country, for anyone who dares to say this isn't the best conference in all of the land. [ESPN]

Pirates' 2010 slogan? From reader Greg T.: "I was on my way home from the Vancouver Olympic games and had a layover in the Minneapolis airport tonight where I saw this advertisement for the Timberwolves."They're not rebuilding, Greg, they're reloading. Reloading players to trade to the Yankees and Red Sox someday.
Pens. Caps. PNC Park. New Year's Day, 2011: The Winter Classic in the Burgh? That's the word from Frank Coonelly, who is trying to bring the frosty New Year's event to the Steel City. Hey, that park deserves some excitement now and again beyond the 2006 All-Star Game. [PG]
Carnell Lake out at UCLA: The former Steeler safety and college All-American coached the defensive backs at his alma mater last season under Rick Neuheisel, but stepped down today for "family reasons". UCLA ranked second in the conference in pass defense last season under Lake's tutelage.
Lake spent last summer as a coaching intern with the Philadelphia Eagles, along with former Steeler LB Greg Lloyd, who would make an absolutely fascinating coach in my opinion. [ESPN Pac 10 Blog]
Charlie "The Spaniard" Brenneman recently got signed by UFC for four fights and will be debuting March 31st in Charlotte for Spike TVs fight night.
Brenneman wrestled collegiately at Lock Haven, won the first season of Pros vs. Joes, and has an 11-1 record. [MMAjunkie.com]
New York Post, Uniontown Bureau: "A man clad just in his underwear jumped on the hood of his girlfriend's moving car during a quarrel in sub-freezing temperatures in Uniontown, Pa., police said yesterday. Cops got a report Thursday at 3:20 a.m. of a 57-year-old man sitting on the hood of the car yelling at the woman behind the wheel."
As usual, Uniontown continues to make the area proud on a national stage. But is the guy So U.T?. We can only wonder. [NY Post]
Anthony Morelli has not given up: The former Penn State QB is holding a personal tryout for scouts and GMs at the combine in Indianapolis next Friday.
Morelli was cut in camp by the Arizona Cardinals in 2008 and worked out for Buffalo and Green Bay last season. Morelli signed with the Milwaukee Iron of the Arena Football League in November and has since moved to Indy, where he is being tutored by former Colts QB Jack Trudeau.
Morelli famously backed out of his commitment to Pitt in 2003, and still has his share of critics to this day in the city. Yes, it's been a long time to hold a grudge. But I always say that Pittsburghers have extremely long memories. [PG]
Poteat likes Pitt: Harrisburg (Bishop McDevitt) RB Jameel Poteat, who hails from the same high school as Shady McCoy, had a very good trip to the school over the weekend. One of the top backs in the country, Poteat also has offers from USC and Florida on the table. He hopes to narrow his list to a final five by July.
This Poteat quote will make Pitt fans smile: "I had that feeling. It just feels like you're at home and the coaches and the fans show so much love. My parents love it, too, and that's a big thing for me. And I love what Coach Wannstedt is doing with the program and how everything seems to be going right." [KDKA]
Cleveland tops the list of miserable US cities: What, you expected another city? This is the only competition that they can actually win. And if you think they're miserable now, wait till they lose Lebron this summer. [msnbc]
Tiger Woods, shafting people for years: Here's a fantastic recap on the series of events in 2004 that ended up with Tiger bailing out on the 84 Lumber Classic at Nemacolin Woodlands. If you didn't like Tiger before reading this, you definitely won't like him any more after reading this. [Rum Bunter]
