Pittsburgh — where we don’t boo the gold medal hero

Posted on by

So I found this picture online. It says:

WELCOME TO PITTSBURGH WHERE WE DO NOT BOO YOUR GOLD MEDAL HERO!

Unless you’ve been watching Twilight while the rest of the world has been watching hockey, you know what this means. But on the outside chance you’re not an NHL lover, here’s the scoop.

Pittsburgh Penguins captain, Sidney Crosby, a Canadian, scored the winning goal for Team Canada in the final game of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics against Team USA. Oh Canada! How they cheered their hero.

But if you’ve been watching the Penguins in the National Hockey League Playoffs when they have played Ottawa and Montreal, you know that every time Sidney touches the puck, the Canadians boo and boo.

Oh! Canada! Bad form!

GO PENGUINS!

New Steeler Theme Song….

So — Johnny showed me this today. I’d not seen the video, but I do recall the song playing in the stadium when Esther and I were there.  Renegade, by Styx.

Without knowledge of this phenomena, Laurel and I had recently commented that the song was awesome when we were teens, but now it seems kind of corny.

Guess I’ll have to start lovin’ it again.

Go Steelers!
