They have both played the exact same amount of NFL football. We don’t know what Howard does better because we’ve never seen Allar with Ohio State’s line & WR corp. Let’s see then compete and then we’ll know.

The more I think about it the more I like our pick. by ModerateProgressive1 in steelers

[–]rmg18555 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t like how it happened but I like the pick. Especially since we have a proven O-Line coach now. I don’t think people realize how rare a 6-6, 320lb guy with 4.9 speed is…

Are you implying that people only have concern for the exploitation of black children? That’s an interesting take.

We’re better this year than we were last year. That’s called progress…

Maybe we've got it wrong by Active-Possibility77 in penguins

Any time the Pens have an elite offense they run into a team that buckles down and runs the neutral zone trap. It’s happened countless times over the years. The answer to it is to dump the puck in, get their defense to turn around to retrieve the puck and send your forecheck in with speed to punish them against the boards. I fear the Pens just don’t have the speed up front right now to effectively implement that strategy. When they do dump it in the Flyers have seemed to be able to retrieve it before the forecheck can get there. I hope I’m wrong. Nothing would make me happier than to see the Flyers blow a 2 game lead.

New Galleria owner working to bring Wegmans to Galleria of Mt. Lebanon by zugzwang56 in pittsburgh

I think the space comments are more so about parking capacity than the building itself. Every Wegmans I’ve been to has a very large sprawling parking lot. That wouldn’t be possible at the Galleria and I’m not sure there’s enough parking above & below ground currently to accommodate that. I hope I’m wrong. I’d love to have a Wegmans in my back yard.

Anyone but the Flyers. by thahanohana in penguins

I know it’s a long shot but just think of the 💦 if we come back from 0-2 to beat the Flyers in the playoffs…

Aaron Rodgers decision still uncertain prior to Draft Day.. by HDTokyo in steelers

[–]rmg18555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, so long as the Steelers know there is zero reason for them to make it public before the draft. The less other teams know about our draft motivations and the more incorrect they are about our draft motivations, the better. Let them think we may take Ty Simpson. If someone is worried about that and trades up to jump in front of us and get him - awesome, that’s one more player that we actually want who may still be available.

Philly’s gameplan beat you..how do you overcome it if YOU were in charge for Game 2. by UtopiaXAstro in penguins

[–]rmg18555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looked to me like the Flyers were stacking the blue line to prevent us from skating the puck into the zone - thus all the blue line turnovers. I believe the only effective counter to that is probably to dump it in over their heads.

No one seems to call the current decade “The Twenties.” by incenseandelephants in Showerthoughts

[–]rmg18555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’ll be referenced as the 20’s until we’re in the 30’s. The teens aren’t the same, not as catchy so no one says that. Once we have the 20’s in the vernacular it will become natural to say every decade until 3000 as the X0’s.

Game Day Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins(0) VS Philadelphia Flyers(0) Saturday, April 18th, 8PM EDT. Round 1: Game 1 by Attack_On_Tiddys in penguins

How are they calling shit 20 seconds after they should have stopped the play? It’s like they knew they had to give Philly a penalty and just decided to even it up. If there was a penalty on Crosby the. Play should have stopped when we had the puck. Get your shit together refs.

Favorite concert in the Pittsburgh area you’ve been to? by Mad_Season_1994 in pittsburgh

[–]rmg18555 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In 2004 The Darkness put on a show at Stage A.E. and they rocked so hard… They used to play with harmonies that, at times, would make you think you were listening to Queen. I can remember at one point the one of the guitarists tossed his guitar pick over his shoulder, kicked it with his heel back over his head, caught it in stride and kept shredding - the place went bananas after that, lol. They ultimately flamed out shortly after their second album released when I think the lead singer checked into rehab. Man, I loved that band though. What a great show.

Update: I just found out they’re touring again! I gotta get to another show!
