Well, if THE Bruce Dickinson wants more Lightning, we probably ought to give it to him.

As a condition for taking the job, House was told he could play his radio at a reasonable volume.

I'd also put Bill Murray's "Scrooged" in the conversation for runner-up.

Kinda quick and dirty, but...

Even as a Steeler fan, I think any punishment he gets is deserved. Look, he probably wasn't going for an outright trip, but it does seem like he was trying to squeeze Jones so that either a) he had to break stride and slow down, or b) to force Jones back toward the middle of the field, giving the defenders a better…

Shoulda been you, Jeffrey Loria.

They used to have a guy in a pirate outfit running around in the seats as a secondary mascot (it was actually Tim Beggy, who went on to be on MTV's "Road Rules"), until he got arrested for skinny dipping and "open lewdness" with a young lady at a public swimming pool. It's not on-field stuff, but just another drop in…

The orange traffic cone is holding out for more money.

If Drew comes after Backyardigans, we're gonna tussle. That was like THE one tolerable kids' show when my son was at that age. I mean, OK, Tasha the Hippo was a bit of a bitch, but Pablo more than made up for it...

The Steeler fan thing is easy. When the steel mills closed, people fled Pittsburgh in droves but they kept their love of the team. The city's starting to turn it around thanks to medical (lots of seniors = lots of need for hospitals and such) and a mini-tech boom (though tech companies tend to reach a certain size and…

I love the outrage from people think one's willingness to bang their head against a wall while participating in a leisure activity somehow represents a meaningful statement about that person's character or work ethic. Games are supposed to be fun. If "very easy" mode made it more fun for some while not getting in the…

HR clearly spelled "Gabbert" wrong.

That would imply he was "arguing". Find me the place in that article where he tells anyone else what to do. He was just saying how he feels. And if I had been personally involved in one of those tragedies, I might well feel the same way.

"Throw the ball, George!"

I think Zynga needs to set up us the bomb.

Fans cheering when a QB gets injured? Losing your job to Brady Quinn? Somewhere Derek Anderson is having a good laugh. Which really freaks out the customers going through the Wendy's drive-thru he's working at.

HERBERT!

I support them when they're trying and seem like they have a coherent plan, which right now... they are and they do, even if the results aren't quite there. When they were doing minor-league picks like Bullington and Moskos that were all about signability and bringing in retreads like Ed Sprague who they could unload…

I'm about 50/50 on the characterizations of the city itself. On one hand, the "abandoned steel mill" stuff is an easy jab and several years behind the times, to boot — there's a pretty nice medical and tech boom going on here, such that we've weathered the recession pretty well. (At least until all the old people die…

Personally, I'd have settled for a few high-minded objectives. Our little league coach was using the game to get vicarious revenge on a high-school classmate (and opposing coach) who called the cops on him at an after-prom party 20 years ago. Oh, and he also let his drunken hoodlum friends show up at practice to shag…
