Abbreviation Disaster
I just came from a brief visit to ESPN. You know them, right? They're the self-proclaimed  "Worldwide Leader in Sports" (hey, if they can do it, so can I!).

I am thinking about demoting them a level for improper abbreviation. (And you know I can do it since I am now Mistress of the Universe).

But before I make the decree, I thought I'd toss it out there and see what everyone else thinks. Here's the skinny: I was checking to see how Tom Brady did today. I happened to see as a front page blurb that the MN Vikings lost today, ending their perfect streak. Whatever, I'm not all that broken up about it--it wasn't like they were going to have a season long perfect record....

At any rate, the blurb said this: Pgh. 27, Min. 17.  Now, I recognize that as a score, and it is pretty standard to abbreviate teams down to three letters, but what the hell is Pgh? Pittsburgh? Really?

You're telling me that the best they can do is Pgh? Nothing about that suggests Pittsburgh to me. How about Pts? Ptb? Pbg? Any of these are better and more suggestive of the name than Pgh?

It is my assessment that this makes ESPN look pretty stupid, but, I just want to make certain that there isn't some conspiracy afoot by the Pittsburghians that they WANT their town denoted as Pgh. Maybe this is standard and ESPN is just following a trend. If that is the case, then someone please offer me concrete proof and I will stand down. And then jump right back up to make fun of those same Pittsburghians- but that'll be another blog.

Pgh. Phbbt!
 
 
   
 

Yee-haw!!!
I anxiously await the rioters to burn down the 'Burgh...

Of course as they have taught me so well, violence is the only answer to the world's problems...

Please Note: The sarcasm is intentional...

Thank you...

Ah Sid ... I love it when a plan comes together, hmmm?  ;)  While I'm NOT a huge hockey fan usually, these guys won my support with their tenacity and resilliance.  I actually watched most of the playoff games!  Admittedly, there were a couple I had to walk away and find something else to do hahaha!  

It just so happened that the Pittsburgh Pirates (who aren't doing half bad this year, surprisedly) were at home playing ... Detroit! this weekend, so our newly crowned Champs brought their little Trophy over to share with the crowd!  
 
 
   
 

From a home girl from Pittsburgh on the Steelers

I truly had a ball watching the Steelers win their ‘Six Pack’ Superbowls! My favorite players are Big Ben (always able to make plays when most quarterbacks would be sacked), Jeff Reed (who is consistent in field goals) and Hinds Ward (who does so well and has a great smile).   It’s been a great experience living here in Pittsburgh, watching the Steelers all these years. It does get a little crazy here after Superbowl wins.

 

This year in Oakland (college town) fires went off, bus stops torn down but the Pittsburgh police did a fairly good job keeping the ‘youth’ under control. My daughter was there because she attends Pitt University. I remember my youth growing up on the South Side and this year on the South Side was no different. South Side has always been known as having more bars than any other town. So you can only imagine how crazy things can get.

 

I am planning on taking a break from my hectic schedule and usher in our Champions at our honorary parade at Noon. This certainly brings back good memories of my childhood growing up in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is truly the best City ever! Most Livable & City of Champions! Click on the link below for some great pictures!
