With some of my thoughts and feelings out about the "Shero Draft Strategy," I wanted to discuss a few thoughts I've had regarding the Pens going forward into free agency. I, personally, don't buy into the Ryan Suter stuff. I honestly think it's a bunch of smoke and mirrors from Camp Shero to get teams... Continue Reading →
All Things In Time
Wow. That month went by fast. Since the last update, and that was late October, business has picked up around these parts. The good news: I have really settled into my job and there's much less insanity surrounding the day-to-day life. I'm still perpetually behind the 8-ball, but that happens. Contrary to popular belief, teaching... Continue Reading →
9/3: Griggsy’s Gripes
Griggsy is filling the void while I am crotch deep in packing and boxes and insanity. Ol' Walt is heading off on Wednesday and it's likely I will not be around until the following weekend at the earliest, but first - Griggsy. Also, thank baby Jesus for football. Here we go. ----------- I’m... Continue Reading →
8/13: Griggsy’s Gripes
Griggsy is back with a vengeance. Not really, he's just got more thoughts on various things (hooooorrrrraaaaayyyyy football is back). While he's gripin' on the internets, I'll be gripin' as I mop the floors at my weekend job. All things depending, I plan on getting the new Pens Preview up between tomorrow and Tuesday. Until...

Failtown – Population: Me
I feel like such a chump. I have not been writing as much as I would like lately, which is unfair to both myself and to all of you. Thank God for Griggsy. He's been covering up for my punk ass the last week with his Gripes and his unreal look at the Pirates. I... Continue Reading →
8/6: Griggsy’s Gripes
Double dose of Griggsy's lovin' on AtC. First we got an unreal write-up about the Pirates and now some more gripin'. Griggsy, roll that beautiful bean footage. ----------- As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m bad at writing intros. Because of that, let’s get right into things. This is what I’m griping about...

2011 Pittsburgh Pirates: A Season on the Brink
Foreword: I approached Griggsy the other day about writing an article about the Pirates because he is a much better and more learned fan of baseball than I am or could ever be. It just so happens that we are on similar wavelength regarding the Pirates' season and the infamous Jerry Meals safe call to... Continue Reading →
Pens Preview: Marc-Andre Fleury
I have been known to be something of a "Fleury hater" for many years. I don't like the term "hater" because that implies a complete and total illogical dislike of a player for reasons that cannot be logic'd or discussed. When I would discuss Fleury's previous disappointments I would do so with facts and figures... Continue Reading →
Pens Preview: Matt Cooke
As mentioned before, I am a tremendous fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and of hockey in general. I want to take some time to look at the major players for the Penguins as we get into the thick of the off-season in anticipation of the coming new year. I plan on taking a somewhat in-depth...
