Literally, I work across the street from Mellon Arena.  However, I am elsewhere for the summer, so I will be missing all the festivities.  Enjoy it, I wish I could be there!

Dan Bylsma has been named the head coach of the Penguins.  KDKA has the story here.

We’ll know tonight who we play in the next round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, hopefully we’ll know dates and times as well.

Troy Polamalu, as well as Larry Fitzgerald, will be on the cover of Madden NFL 10.

This marks the first time that two athletes have been on the cover of Madden.  Kaotaku reports on it here.

Hopefully, the Madden Curse will be exercised by the addition of a second player on the cover.

An update for everyone, the ‘Burgh Bracket is in the Final Four.  The Terrible Towel takes on Malkin Interviews and The Cotton Candy Man is up against PittGirl.

Currently, Mike Lange is up against the Baby Jesus and PittGirl is battling Billy Mays.
