Don't ask Big Ben for Super Bowl Tickets

Things around here are probably going to be pretty slow considering the Pens don't play till next Wednesday and the Super Bowl isn't for like...10 days. Granted the media will suck everything it can out of the Super Bowl and all that surrounds it, and we'll undoubtedly post some of it, but some of it is ridiculous. And we'll probably end up posting some of that too. The NFL starts its coverage on Monday and say they'll have 60 hours of it. Should be a blast. Until then...this crap. Er...intriguing story lines.

Quote of the day:

Ben Roethlisberger was asked how he deals with friends who want Super Bowl tickets: "All of my friends ask for them and I just tell them no."

As for the Penguins, we're happy to tell you that Yinz Luv 'Da Guins is back! We've been waiting for what seems like forever for a new episode. Enjoy.

The Pens sent Chris Minard, Paul Bissonnette, and Bill Thomas to the Baby Pens for the All-Star break. Most likely to give them playing time and to give the Baby Pens some players considering many of them have been with the big Pens.
