One thing I know about football season – it isn’t good for the waistline. Beers and brauts in the parking lots before the home page are always fun and delicious, but if you didn’t wonder why we wear all those weird wild pajama pants to tailgate in – well now you do (no one fits in their jeans after a good tailgate!). Being a bit older and more refined (grown… Keep Reading
Enough about Bell, Ben and bad decisions. We need to get back into the game ourselves and dress ourselves like the fanatics we are. This year, there are a few on my list I really want (but a couple are already sold out!), so I’ve drawn up the five new pieces I just added to my black and gold for the sixburgh championships. You can see all the items on… Keep Reading
Where I come from – there is only one football. But outside the bubble of black and yellow, an entire world of international futbol exists. And it’s following is massive. In fact, soccer is really taking over the US this summer – the World Cup just announced it’s coming to North America in 2026, and the International Champions Cup is coming right to NYC and get this – Pittsburgh! In fact,… Keep Reading
Growing up in Pittsburgh, we might take football slightly seriously more than others. We’re attending a Big Game party tomorrow, and have to bring some dishes to share. So clearly we wanted to bring the best of the best – the staples that hold football season together – sausages and buffalo chicken dip. I laughed and honestly didn’t get it when they said, bring something fancier. Those are two words… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of popchips® The winter’s most anticipated day of the year is almost here – the Big Game. And while the teams may not be who we had hoped (ahem, wrong city, PA!), that doesn’t mean us true football fans hold back from the real competition – feasting over football tosses. Just like any serious game, you have to have come to the… Keep Reading
It’s always been Shitsburgh vs. Filthadelphia. But when it’s them against the Pats, we always cheer for the east side of the state. Plus, Philly has a serious food scene happening lately. So – Eagles, let’s do this. Just in time for Big Game happening in less than two weeks, Rovio and the NFL also just announced yesterday that they have partnered up to create some football-themed Angry Birds 2… Keep Reading
Perseverance and adversity has been big for just about every football team this year. From suspensions to injuries, it’s no secret that this season has been unpredictable each week. One positive for the Pittsburgh Steelers was the multiple players sent to the 2018 Pro Bowl. This is the 17th straight season that the Steelers are sending a handful of players as well as the 26th time in the last 29… Keep Reading
I grew up on a farm – probably as country as one gets. I don’t think anyone in my family ever thought I would go city, and here I am breaking stigmas since 2010. The funny part is – if you don’t know me that well, you would never guess that I used to milk cows, drive tractors and own a few pair of cowboy boots, and love shopping for… Keep Reading
If you’re a sports girl like myself, you have grown up watching ESPN just like our parents left the weather channel on all day. Those early years in my twenties were spent with countless hours behind the bar, and SportsCenter, PTI and Around the Horn. I knew more stats that most “doods” walking in and it didn’t hurt my tips 🙂 But as a yinzer surrounded by sports in the… Keep Reading
I remember the first time I met Mike and Mike (yes, the FIRST time). These dudes really helped me fall in love with sports because they are real – dudes being doods. And basically, coming from Pittsburgh, that’s how we all talk to each other. Sports is part of your dinner conversations right after “how was work/school?” – “hey did you see that play last night by Geno?” And now they’re… Keep Reading
