No Tattoos Have Ever Been More Pittsburgh Than This Guy's
These photos were sent to us by a tipster who'd like to stay anonymous, since this guy looks like the type who communicates only through hurled liquor bottles....

Pittsburgh Fan With Sign Sculpted Into His Body Hair Invades D.C.
This just in to Yinzerspin. Mark Zuckerman of CSN Washington spotted this guy a few minutes ago at Nationals Park, where the Pirates are getting set to play the Nats in about 30 minutes. Is this the same jagoff who shaved something similar into his body hair at a Penguins playoff game a few months b...

Hey, It's Mike Tomlin And Some Tattooed Woman On The Hood Of A Car
My goodness, the unbridled Yinzerness of this image. The Steelers' coach, wearing a Steelers cap, on the hood of a convertible outside some dive bar, in the arms of a smiling woman who looks like she never wants to let go. There's even a guy wearing jorts cargo shorts in the background. To borrow on...

Steve From Greenfield Is Loaded And Would Like To Chat About The Steelers' QB Situation
Last night, Chris Mueller (on 93.7 FM from 10 p.m.—2 a.m.) provided a little insight, which you can see above, into what it's like working the telephones for a light night Pittsburgh-area sports radio call-in show. We may try to get the audio, or we may just let this one float around in all of our i...

The Losingest Losers Keep Right On Losing
Welp. That'll do it. The Pittsburgh Pirates were 16 games over .500 as recently as Aug. 8. The playoffs were still a very real possibility, but even if the postseason wasn't going to happen, a winning season likely would. Cue the fart noise. Today's loss to the Reds was No. 82, which means the longe...

This Is Now The Pittsburgh Pirates' Worst Season Ever
There was Pat Meares, and there was Operation Shutdown. There were those 100 losses in 2001, the year PNC Park opened. There was whatever they did to mess up Oliver Perez. There was that lost Saturday night in Anaheim in '07, when Ian Snell just couldn't take it anymore. And there was last year's 19...

How Andrew McCutchen Became A Star And Redeemed Two Decades Of Pittsburgh Jagoffery
This is how Andrew McCutchen watched at least one of the MLB playoff games at home on television last fall: He stood up, assumed his batting stance, and timed his swing to the pitches as he saw them on the screen. McCutchen later shared this story with his agent, Steve Hammond, who could only laugh....

This Is What Trying To Drive A Golf Cart Along A Highway After A Wedding Reception Looks Like
You know how this goes: The reception's over and everyone in the wedding party is slowly but surely getting their shit together to get on the hotel shuttle, where the party will likely continue. But Saturday night, just south of Pittsburgh, a couple of Yinzers had other ideas....

Pirates' Flagship Radio Station Has Instructed Its Sports-Talk Hosts Not To Discuss Team President's DUI [UPDATE]
Put aside the fact that Frank Coonelly, the president of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was cited for DUI just before Christmas, only to have the news of it finally see the light of day today. The Pittsburgh sports-talk station that reached an agreement in September to broadcast the Pirates' games has now ...

The Pirates' Twitter Police Couldn't Stop Some Jagoff From Posting This Drunken Photo On The Team's Official Feed
The above photo is of Greg Brown and Steve Blass (yes, that Steve Blass), two members of the Pittsburgh Pirates' broadcast team. On its own, the photo is not that big of a deal: Two drunken idiots mugging for a camera on a golf course, sort of like A.J. when he visits his old man. Ah, but someone—i...
