The News

--Pitt beat #6 Georgetown at the Pete on Monday night, but since everybody gave up on the Panthers already, I guess no one is interested...

But seriously, Pitt is ranked #4 in the RPI, behind only North Carolina, Memphis, and Tennessee. So you shouldn't write them off just yet. Keith Benjamin and Razor Ramon poured in 18 points each, and DeJuan Blair added 15 and 9. The Zoo was a-rockin'.

Plus, for an added bit of sizzle, ESPN showed a shot of Mike Tomlin sitting next to Luke Ravenstahl at the game. No word on whether or not Ravenstahl snuck his way into this sporting event.

--How far do you think Pitt will go in the tournament (assuming they make it, of course)? Vote in this week's new poll, on the right sidebar. Last week's poll results illustrated your belief in the 2008 Steelers, as most readers went with the optimistic "9-12 wins" prediction.

--The Pens downed the Rangers 4-1 in a feisty matchup at the Igloo. Evgeni Malkin notched another hat trick and Adam Hall fought Jordan Staal's brother. That ought to make quite the uncomfortable locker room.

--The Steelers are targeting several positions for the draft: offensive line, offensive line, offensive line, offensive line, and offensive line.

--Deadspin reminds us that LT still hates the Patriots, his opponent in the AFC Championship.

--Bummed that you missed the Mike and Mike Roast? You're in luck! The train wreck is beautifully recapped. Highlights include:

**Dana Jacobson's incoherent, Belvedere-swilling rant, finally pulled off stage by Professional Roaster Jeffrey Ross and Eddie Griffin, perhaps better known as Deuce Bigalow's pimp.

**The surprising news that Hosts Trey Wingo and Mark Schlereth were horrible leading off the show. Surely Schlereth would be upset that this reporter punched him in the mouth and then threw him under the bus.

**More surprising news that most of the jokes were about Greenberg being a metrosexual and Golic being fat. How do they stay so fresh?

**Ravens safety Ed Reed being too drunk to read his jokes, pulled off stage by Clinton Portis and Joe Klecko (that's two roasters pulled off stage, for those of you scoring at home).

**A rambling bomb of a speech from Charlie Weis, who apparently has no concept of a roast.

**A great line from comedian Nick Bakay: "Mike & Mike are so dull they make Mike Tirico's show feel dangerous."

--The newest steroid bust includes entertainers 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Timbaland, Wyclef Jean, and Tyler Perry. Each of them pounded their fist in denial and refused to give back their Cy Young Awards.

--What is the most tortured city in pro sports? Certainly not Boston.

--The Oakland Zoo was looking for a cost-conscious Chewie head atop a flesh-toned unitard alien body.

--ESPN's Ombudswoman checks in on the WWL's coverage of the Mitchell Report.

--What happened to Jessica Biel's face?

--Good news: the plague is making a comeback!

The Maxim 100 List

The topic du jour is Maxim's Hot 100 list, a pop culture event/publicity stunt that results in TV shows and blogs talking about Maxim for a few days as if these rankings meant anything. That being said, let's discuss these as if these rankings meant anything. What else are we going to talk about...another crappy Pirate game last night? The reading on Alan Faneca's mood ring this hour?

Of note from this year's list:

The possible "future Mrs. Roethlisberger", Missy Peregrym, checks in at #54...a few spots ahead of Jamie-Lynn Sigler, last week's rumored Roethlisberger love interest.

Should have worn a #7 jersey, Missy.

The Pittsburgh-hating Sienna Miller, the only member of this club to be named after a crayon, shows up at #11. Miller's 2005 appearance on the list ranked her at #48. So is it same to assume her anti-Burgh rant helped her in the polls?

On the banned list at Folino's Young's Tavern

#10 seemed high for the Black Eyed Peas' Fergie, considering she pees her pants

If peeing your pants is cool, consider Fergie Miles Davis

Joe Hardy Birthday Entertainment and Pittsburgh's own XTina checks in at 4.

No, I can't marry you, Mr. Hardy.

And your 2007 Maxim 100 winner, Lindsay Lohan! She puts away coke like no other winner before her!
