Mascot Mishap

Steely McBeam

Word out of Pittsburgh is that Steely McBeam the lead mascot for the Pittsburgh Steelers was arrested back in January due to a DUI. Kenneth C. Mahey who is one of the two people who portray the mascot blew a .1766 which is twice the legal limit. Let’s face it…if your job is to wear a ridiculous costume for a living…wouldn’t you be drinking like a fish too?

Lady Volunteers

Pat Summit and the Lady Volunteers won their 8th National Championship last night in Tampa against the Stanford Cardinal. I know the talent level and competitive landscape is different than mens basketball, but this is nonetheless one heck of an impressive feat. Summit now has 983 career wins and will without a doubt break the 1000 win mark next season. Congratulations to Pat Summit, Candace Parker and all the other Lady Volunteers on their 36-2 season and their National Championship!

Is Roy a Softy for Kansas??

Roy Williams wearing Kansas sticker

Did anyone see Roy Williams wearing a frickin Kansas sticker on his sweater last night at the National Championship game? Excuse me if you feel I’m off base, but when you are the head coach for a university all your focus and support should revolve around that team and that team only. I understand he was the coach for Kansas previously and had a very hard time leaving the Jayhawks, but he did leave. If you were retired Roy I would give you a pass, but you were playing against this Kansas team just two nights before and if I was a Carolina fan (and I’m not) I would be PISSED at you for giving them props two days later. This is just my opinion and if you disagree with me I would love to hear your thoughts.
