Odds and Ends

Not much on the Burgh sports front tonight. Just a few side bar quick hitters...

• Bucs promote Steve Pearce to AAA Indy. This guy has crazyshithot power numbers so far, but of course so did our last future slugger, Brad Eldred.should be just a matter of time until we ruin this guy too.



• Hines Ward pissed off about Anthony Smith making like Jack Tatum and pulverizing WRs during camp. You can only wonder how long until Ward retaliates with one of his signature bone crunching blocks on the overzealous DB.

• Brian Jackson, aka, the Steeler impersonator, gets sentenced. This guy really gives new meaning to the often overused word "tool". I wonder if the dude in left field is going to get nabbed for impersonating Jason Bay.
  
Judges sentenced Jackson to 90 days probation and a weekend with these gals.



• Bucs replace unpopular mascot Captain Jolly Roger.
  

Jolly Roger headed for Tampa Bay???

Apparently the front office conceptualized a new direction with Mandy the Marauder...

Mandy and a few Lagers would help invigorate those woeful late summers at PNC

Unfortunately, lower budgets prevailed, and the Bucs went into another direction altogether...

Thanks again, Pirates, for making me a better football fan.
