Pittsburgh

Great win by the Steelers today. Hate to have to beat the Ravens 3 times in 1 season, but we'll see...

Nice Freakonomics post that references Post-Gazette article on the Steelers games' market penetration of Pittsburgh TV viewers. Fascinating.

The post also includes links to a few other New York Times articles about Pittsburgh, one on the transition of its economy and another ode to D-coordinator Dick Lebeau. Not sure what the rush on Pittsburgh stories in that newspaper is, but nice reads nonetheless.

P.S.: Wanted to pick-up some Western PA beer to enjoy during the game today, and the only thing offered by One Stop was Rolling Rock, which apparently is brewed in St. Louis these days. Anyway, not wanting to get all bloated the day before a busy work week, I opted for Rock Light. Any verification this stuff's got alcohol in it? Pretty sure it wasn't in the N/A section...

P.P.S.: Anyone else rooting for Pittsburgh West in the NFC next week? The Cards are led by former Steelers O-coordinator + former Pitt Panther stud WR

Rock Green Light wasn't that bad, at least when it was brewed in Latrobe.

Yes, I too am rooting for a PIT-ARI SuperBowl. Otherwise, no one west of PA will want to watch. Fitzgerald is Fantastic.
