Deadspin
In even more startling DUI news, Pittsburgh police have arrested one of the men who played Pittsburgh Steelers horrifying mascot, Steely McBeam.
The Pittsburgh-Tribune relays the grim tale:
Kenneth Hahey, 24, of Mt. Washington was charged with drunken driving after he was stopped in the South Side in January, according to Pittsburgh municipal court records. His blood alcohol level was .166, according to a police affidavit.
Steelers spokesman David Lockett said Hahey has been "released from his duties."
That wimpering sound you hear coming from across the Allegheny river are Kenneth Hahey's dreams dying.

He was just trying to impress the Stanford Tree...
Yuengling strikes again.
Kurt Angle is no longer Pittsburgh's most beloved drunk driver.
"released from his duties."
Translation: "Back to creeping out kids in his clown suit."
I blame the Dartmouth mascot
His blood alcohol level was .166
With an average like that he would be the cleanup hitter for the Pirate.
how'd they know he's one of the Steelys? Was he unshaven, a strong, square jaw, or did he have yellow skin?
His uncle, Jim McBeam, isn't too disappointed.
I'll tell ya, those appletinis will sneak up on you.
His blood alcohol level was .166
That's a lot of wine coolers.
@Lady Andrea: It's sort of like 'Furries,' but for people who are REALLY fucked up.
Masoctties?
Jeez, where ya been, Homer? The whole steel *industry's* gay.
@SonsofShawnKemp:
He should hold the tini next time.
Steely will have to go back to tending bar at the Man Hole.
Hey he works hard, and he plays hard.
How many Zimas is that anyway?
...Pittsburgh police have arrested one of the men who played Pittsburgh Steelers horrifying mascot, Steely McBeam.
So there were multiple men inside the suit?
It wasn't the blood alcohol level of .166 that imparied his driving as much as the fact that he was getting a blowjob from Mr. Met at the time.
@tater: Easy, there, champ. Your avatar is a Royals logo, after all.
Steely requested to be held over another night because he was just getting to know his cellmates.
Roethlisberger's t-shirt approves
Terrible BAC, fantastic ERA. Wait, wrong sport.
Mt Washington - represent! Actually - if you get flagged for a DUI going from the south side to MTW - you suck at drunk driving.
I'd cut the guy some slack. He and Brady Quinn just had a nasty falling out.
@Sarcastro:
True, our cleanup hitter is a former Pirate and is getting suspened.
/stupid Moore
Carl Eller wonders why he didn't hit the cop with his beam.
For some reason, I picture McBeam riding around on his steel beam like a witch on a broomstick.
Were that actually the case, no cop in his right mind would pull him over. Much too terrifying.
Have the young man send me his resume, We need a new brotwurst for our sausage races - Brewers GM
@Brazil Thrill-Gasm: Don't act so suprised.
The Hawks mascot doesn't have this problem
+ Watch video
@The Diesel: thats not yuengling county...thats Steel City country. Yuengling would be considered an import to those hillbilly's
Steely McBeam was venting with an aluminum can.
Oh, this young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, well, I guess that's more than most [24]-year-olds can handle.
(sorry, that's the association I always immediately make with anything coming out of Pittsburgh)
Steely had one too many daiquiris.
Who will be selling the McBEAM .166 jerseys?
@tater: +1
@The Diesel: Wrong part of the state. Iron City strikes again.
@DeepFriar: Not a chance. Keggy was still dodging hockey pucks and trying to decide which right wing trustee nominees to vote for in January.
@sba: @Gourmet Spud: Steely strikes me more of an apple-tini or cosmopolitan kind of guy.
@Doyle McPoyle: So the real question is: Did they arrest the top or the bottom?
More like Kenneth Heee-eeey.
@Bobby_Big_Wheel: I meant Iron City....either way it tastes like dirty grundle
Without a job he won't have health insurance to get that jaundice checked out. Poor Steely.
@Packy: Yes, hillbillies. Very astute observation, son. And, of course, the beer (such as it is) is called Iron City.
Kordell Stewart is still pissed that Steely wasn't introduced during his playing days in Pittsburgh.
A limp wristed slap to the officers face, and an offer of oral pleasure was left out of this report.
@Peter Cavan: Probably cirrhosis.
You try to drive with Kordell Stewart head in your lap.
@Jefferson DArcy: I will not take you up on that offer.
@Sarcastro: First place Royals.
He should see Doctor Wu about his drinking problem... wait, wrong Steely.
You are all missing the main point of this story. There is now an opening to play Steely McBeam. Off to Pittsburgh I go.
@Sarcastro: Oops. I try to forget the times I have been there and everything that involves that shithole of a town.
@HIV 2 Elway: After seven games. Very impressive.
All I'm saying, really, is a Royals fan slagging the Pirates is kind of like a very fat chick making fun of a gargantuanly obese chick. Neither is getting invited to the prom.
Doc Ellis is not impressed
@Packy: Well, you got me there.
I blame the Pittsburgh Area MADD.
