THE NEWS

--Turner Ward and the Three Rivers Stadium outfield wall: forever linked.

--An SI fan survey ranks the MLB stadiums, and PNC Park comes in 3rd, behind Cleveland and Milwaukee. Unfortunately, this survey takes into account a little thing called "Team Quality", which most definitely kept Your Buccos out of the #1 spot.

THE NEWS

--Have to lead with this sent in (which was only available cached, for some reason) from a very loyal reader who's given many a valuable tip in his day:

For the second-straight day Wednesday, rocker Jon Bon Jovi was on hand at Madison Square Garden to watch the Penguins practice.

A Manhattan resident and huge sports fan, Bon Jovi is co-owner of the Arena Football League’s Philadelphia Soul.

So Bon Jovi, Mr. New Jersey, is a closet Pens fan? This is big news! I doubt that's going to sit well with Devils fans.

--The new fashion trend among Penguins is walking boots, as Max Talbot and Rob Scuderi were both seen wearing them yesterday. Both will be game-time decisions tonight. Gary Roberts and Daryl Sydor are ready, willing, and able to replace them.

--Large Ben says he had no influence on the Steelers' draft picks...other than his request for a tall receiver a few months ago.

--In other Roethlisberger-related news, my favorite QB just dropped $100,000 on the city of Pittsburgh for the purchase of K-9 units, protective vests, and other equipment for the Pittsburgh Police Department.

--The Pens-Rangers Game Three matchup drew higher ratings than Dancing With The Stars, NCIS, American Idol, and Law & Order SVU, proving once again that Sidney Crosby > Simon Cowell.

--Pens players wish Sean Avery nothing but the best, because the Penguins are classy guys.

--Mike Prisuta says the Pens are beaking at the right time. That's right, he said beaking.

--Ian Snell is not feeling it this year - and it shows.

--Good news! The PLCB wants to set up a statewide network of 100 satellite wine kiosks. If there's one thing our state needs, it's easier access to alcohol.

--Roger Clemens is now being linked to Paula Dean Daly, AKA the former wife of John Daly. The hits just keep on comin' for the Rocket.

--Tyler Hansbrough finally took the advice of Duke fans and jumped off a roof.

--In today's New York Times: Pittsburgh surpasses Los Angeles as nation's sootiest city. AND we have an NFL team! Take that, LA!

--Is Mariah Carey really engaged to Nick Cannon?

--Exxon just announced earnings of $10.89 billion for the first quarter of 2007.

--Ashlee Simpson's new album sales were so low, they were beaten by a comedy album.
