Family of PittGirl:  [blink] [blink] [BLLLLLLLLLLLLL]

An email from reader Valerie:
At the end of last night’s game I reviewed the text messages that have gone back and forth among my son, my daughter and me for the preseason, Browns, Eagles and Ravens games and realized just how much The Burghblog is part of our lives:

1. Did you all get overwhelmed with all the new shows that were on TV last night?  Did your TiVo start smoking all, “Greetings!  I think I just recorded How I Big Banged Your Mother and Now I’m a Hero who Likes to Dance With The Stars in Miami.”
Mine did.
Because I had to workout with [...]

Before we get into a recap of The Pennsylvania State Massacre, we must first discuss the fact that the readers of Sports Illustrated have named Ben Roethlisberger as one of the “Best Looking Male Athletes.”  (h/t Traci)

1.  Are you guys going to the Steel City Derby Demons championship bout on Saturday to see the Bitch Doctors take on the Wrecking Dolls?
And have you seen this page of their battle scars? It is disturbing.  That black eye up there is one of the tamer injuries.

Once upon a time, in the land of Fug and Gross, there lived a Duke named Benjamin.  Now Benjamin had greatly displeased the king with his lecherous ways.
The King had grown tired of hearing the rumors from the lips of his people.  That Benjamin, the next in line to the throne, was caught cavorting with [...]

PittGirl:
Since you are crazy Steeler/Polamalu fan (like me), here is picture I took of my son & daughter (& 20 other kids) running with #43 on the last day of training camp. We were watching him work out when he invited the kids to run a lap with him around the athletic fields.

The Duke of Fug and the Earl of Gross is featured in the September issue of Maxim magazine in their 2008 All Maxim Team (as are Troysus and Skippy Skeeve) and not only is he on the team, but he’s also got a nice big profile article in there on page 88 that trickles over [...]

Do you smell that?  It smells like football time.  You know, the smell of grass, sweat, jock-itch cream, and the leftover whore residue of the sluts Skippy Skeeve cavorted with last night.
