    Bookie Mom's Big Day And Other Fallout From The Steelers-Chargers Debacle

    Since football fans don't have much else to do between Monday and (now) Thursday nights, there's still plenty to talk about when it comes to that crazy Pittsburgh-San Diego game that changed the face of gambling sports for ever. Of course, just because we're talking about it, doesn't mean we're "talking" about it ... we're just talking about it. Know what I'm talking about? More »

    Bad Call Costs Steelers Fans $32 Million

    Update: See the "official" live SportsCenter response below. If you were one of the NFL fans waiting in the fading late afternoon light for the San Diego Chargers to be put out of their misery yesterday, you may have seen a rather unusual ending to the game at Heinz Field. With his team already ahead by one, Pittsburgh's Troy Polamalu intercepted a pathetic attempt at a miracle play and scored an exclamation point touchdown as time expired. Even though the clock read zero and there was no other possible outcome to the game than a Steelers victory, the referees kept everyone on the field for several minutes to launch an automatic review of the play, called a phantom penalty that did not happen—officials admitted after the game that the call was incorrect—and took the touchdown off the scoreboard. Not a huge deal, until you remember that the Steelers were five-point favorites and reversal meant that they went from not covering the spread to covering and back again thanks to a shady replay review on an otherwise pointless play.

    Pittsburgh Police Praise Santonio Holmes' Performance During Drug Bust

    Some people might say it's foolish to smoke pot in your car, especially when you're driving it around with expired plates, but in Pittsburgh it's not what you do, it's how you react after being confronted with your misdeeds that matters. It seems that Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes made the unfortunate boo-boo of getting pulled over in an SUV filled with the smell of burnt marijuana, but he was so polite and well-mannered during his traffic stop that the cops aren't really going to hold that other stuff against him.

    Support The Team While Thwarting Criminals With Toxic Chemicals

    If there's one thing I hate, it's getting dressed up in my favorite NFL dress shirt for a night on the town, and then getting jumped by hooligans.

Just listen to The Self Defense Guy, whose video is shown below. Watch this commercial, and not only will you look great, but you'll be safe from roving bands of thugs. More »
