Does this mean FC is another of Shads burner accounts?

That last metaphor Ned used about card playing...damn, that is vintage EPP.

100% genuinely have no f’n clue what is going on in here right now.

Who was it on LGP that you sniffed out Shad, x2winder or Kenny Melvin?

Slappy sniffed out 2xwinder IIRC. I sniffed out EPP when I dug into his contrived comment about seeing a comedian in college whose name I forget.

I don’t think it was me

Didn’t he just keep posting the attendance questions under a new name

Lol yeah I think it was obvious to everyone. Didn't Canaan sniff out Kenny Melvin?

iirc kmelv was Bob coles senility and one day he posted a question about fixing some laptop or something, and you found a post about it on his Facebook.

Wow....has it really been since April?

I actually think that was part of Madden's blog(?) post.

How’s it not trolling?

This.

I have MM, Rob Rossi and Filliponi muted. Makes Pittsburgh sports Twitter easier to take.

As for MM's take on Juju: He's riding it hard because so many people disagree with him. That's his schtick. Always the contrarian. Yawn.

I have Poni and MM muted. I was blocked by Rossi, but I noticed a few tweets of his slip through over the last week or so.

I'm blocked by Tim Benz. And I'm proud of that.

I've never seen anyone dodint, moan, and complain about officiating like Benz. He's non stop. And he does it for his Syracuse games too.

Postby **iamjs** » Wed Dec 19, 2018 11:12 am

he's muted too. He went off about something midseason (now that you mention it, it was probably officiating) and people were RT'ing him nonstop.

That's the big man for you, take it or leave it.

One of his funnier remarks I do recall him making was that he's a bigger deal in this town than Pat Narduzzi. Like if you spotted the 2 of them at a bar, MM would draw the bigger crowd.

He's 100% right.

Bigger is an appropriate adjective

Postby **Troy Loney** » Wed Dec 19, 2018 12:43 pm

It's almost like Madden hasn't been doing the same schtick for 20 years.

Postby **pens9192** » Wed Dec 19, 2018 2:11 pm

I’ve been blocked by DK on Twitter for like three years. One day he liked one of my Tweets and then a few months later I looked and saw he blocked me. I had no idea what I said to cause that.

I get my FreeCandy44 fill on r/Pittsburgh.

BREAKING: Chief meteorologist Jeff Verszyla says he has been let go at KDKA.

Someone said "I'm sure a local station will pick you up, and I'll start watching. I can't imagine watching the news for a weather person.

Evidently it had to do with climate change denial.

That's an article from almost 10 years ago.
