Haven’t had much Mullsy talk lately - how is he without Starkey?

Coming back from seemingly a ten-minute break:

Pittsburgh Dad Jr.: Alright, I want to talk about the NFL prot <CLICK> back to DVE I guess.

Postby **dodint** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 9:39 am

DVE had the Old 29er on to talk about Ovechkin celebrating with the cup. *yawn*

Didn't hear it. I only heard them speaking about Sarah Palin crying because Cohen targeted her.

lol, I went back and re-read January, I forgot that 60sixx was Brian Metzer's spouse. That's fun information. Hi @60sixx!

Came into work later this morning. Boy, hearing Cook and Poni shout over each other about whether Le'veon Bell is the Steelers most important, or 3rd most important player was a treat.

Wow, can't believe that was a discussion point. Slow time in sports so have to fill it with something I guess...

How many calls did they take about it? like four in two hours?

PHN reaching out on Reddit. Must be dire straights.

Colin Pittsburgh Dad Jr. @colin_Pittsburgh Dad Jr. 10m
I've probably watched the PacMan video 50 times.
If you have that much of a reach on a dude. And outweigh him that much. And the dude isn't a professional fighter you just can't take an L like that. You have to just swarm in on his ass.

Tough guy is tough.

I was really hoping this was related to the original PacMan and not the NFL player who seems to get a headline once or twice a year for similar incidents.

Zeise might actually write dumber columns than Cook. That's a steep hill to climb.

Some of Pittsburgh’s elite (I.e. Matt Murray, Ryan Shazier, some prominent businessmen/women and lawyers, Celina Pompeani) were invited to a preview of the new TopGolf location on Wednesday. Kind of excited for this thing to be open.

Upgruv is dead.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Thu Jul 19, 2018 12:32 pm

Did it ever really live?

Postby **iamjs** » Thu Jul 19, 2018 1:31 pm

what's an upgruv?

Postby **Nittany Ned** » Thu Jul 19, 2018 1:32 pm

It was due to ‘financial performance’.

It was because Rossi left!

Postby **iamjs** » Thu Jul 19, 2018 1:55 pm

oh, that thing. I totally forgot it existed.

(apologies to any former upgruv employees that might be reading)

Postby **MrKennethTKangaroo** » Thu Jul 19, 2018 2:05 pm

much like the Pittsburgh power, upgruv was destined to fail

The Fan comes back from a break playing Renegade. Ron Cook acknowledges the news of the Steelers "Steel Curtain" roller coaster and just could not piece together why they were playing Renegade. He said, "I'm not making the connection." Its the song. "What song?"

Every time I see "upgruv" all my mind sees is "Grindr"

Ron cook's article in today's pg was truly trash

I dont know what he wrote on the 10th but rhis pretty much applies to every day.

Liz Bloom, the PG's Pirates beat writer, went back to graduate school (Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. She's a smart cookie methinks). I enjoyed her writing and general demeanor on the ol' twitter dot com.

bloom was a really good writer
