Today's reading material

The Pens play the Maple Leafs tonight at 7:08 at Mellon Arena. The Steelers play the Bengals in Cincinnati at 1:00 on Sunday. Big Ben has never lost in his home state of Ohio. And the Bengals suck. But you already knew that.

Here is a list of today's required reading:

Coach Therrien is shaking up the lines a bit, putting Sid and Geno on the same line.

In Pens notebook, Sidney Crosby is on the brink of 100 goals, 200 assists, and 300 points. Someone please tell us how ironic that is. Sid also has purchased a suite in Mellon Arena for the second year to be used by charitable organizations. Tonight, young cancer patients with Make-A-Wish will use the suite. Can you really find a better person/athlete? We think not.

In Steelers notebook, Hampton and Parker won't play, Sweed will, Ike talks a lot of trash, and James Harrison has no comment.

Harrison and Woodley could set the Steelers record for sacks.

Someone asks, Why is there a hole on the practice field and why would you let Willie Parker anywhere near it?

Another YouTube for you today in the form of a good Polamalu Nike commercial with LT. We hadn't seen this yet, and it's a heck of an ad. Enjoy.
