--Fantastic news from Latrobe: Big Ben's off to a slow start. Although I didn't understand this quote:
"Tomlin said "that's a safe assumption" that it normally takes Roethlisberger a week to get his arm to mid-season form.Wouldn't his arm be in mid-season form some time...I don't know...around mid-season? [PG]
--If you haven't yet read the tale of Stanley Cup-crasher Ryan Kraft, take a few moments and do so. And then check out the accompanying photo gallery. Is that Christine Simpson in the background? [Dayton Daily News]
--The Pirates' series of trades saved the team $7.3 million in salary this year, showing a final payroll projection of $47 million. And you said they were cheap! [PG]
--Jeff Reed and his Super Mario Brothers-inspired t-shirt are now writing for Whirl Magazine. This should be interesting. [Whirlmagazine.com]
--Mike Prisuta resigned from the Trib, but will stay on at DVE. So Jeff Reed is now writing and Mike Prisuta isn't? That's scary. [Bob Smizik Blog]
--Penn State's football schedule is always the topic of debate, especially in these parts. So I hope Sean at Sean's Ramblings is ready for mass quantities of Pitt-PSU bickering on his blog after mentioning the perceived weakness of said schedule. [Sean's Ramblings]
--Jay Mariotti wrote about the Pirates, which means we should all duck for cover. Thankfully, Elvis Has Left has taken Mariotti to task on many of his inane points, which makes for quite the entertaining read. [Elvis Has Left]
--Being that I attended Geibel HS back in the day, I always keep an eye on what's happening at my alma mater. The quick-hook to head basketball Marshall Biddington leaves a lot of questions to be answered, and the AD is not talking. How far we have fallen from the days of Ken Misiak, the Joe Paterno of WPIAL hoops. [Herald Standard]
--Lionsgate is going to be shooting the film "The Next Three Days" in the suddenly-trendy filming location of Pittsburgh, and they're looking for a five or six-year-old boy to play Russell Crowe's son. So if you're five years old and reading this, I say go for it. [WPXI]
--For all of you who keep asking me about the Ssshhhh! t-shirts, they are now available through the all-new Superstar Treatment Tees store.
