Welcome to Pittsburgh

Check out the Post-Gazette homepage. No fewer than six stories/multimedia presentations about the Steelers and training camp are linked towards the top of the page. The headline about Israel resuming jet attacks on southern Lebanon sort of blends into the the header, huh? No wonder I laughed so hard when I saw this satiric post on Carbolic Smoke Ball… It’s the truth, damnit. Now that training camp has officially started I honestly don’t think most Burghers would know, or really care, if World War III broke out. We have something much more important upon which to concentrate- the 2006-2007 Steelers football season.

The only time all season we’ll see such unguarded emotion on Bill ‘The Chin’ Cowher’s face.

Benny, looking quite fit despite his motorcycle accident earlier this summer.

Look how skinny these boys look without all their gear. Crazy!

Oh, and this girl is clearly mistaken. I’m Ben’s future wife.

I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty darn excited about the prospect of football season. You can smell it in the air. We might even make our own appearance at Camp Cahhh-er tomorrow!!

Hello – I came across your blog doing some googling for Steelers bars in London. I will be there for two weeks in Sep – including the Cincy game (week 3). I was curious if you have any suggestions on where to watch the game? thanks -

Christian,
The Sports Cafe in Piccadilly Circus usually shows nationally broadcast Steelers games. There is also a pub right next to the West Kensington tube station (on the District Line) that shows the Steelers games. I can’t remember the name of it, but it’s immediately to your right as you exit the tube station.

Hope you have a good time in London!
