Steelers cyber Monday fun...

I was going to wait and a do a whole NFL gift idea post..but after last night's game I figured a lot of Steelers fans will be taking to drinking during the games. So why not do it with some team spirit. You can find these at Target.

P.S. Thanks to my good friend AK for sending me this link. He is the best Packers fan I know.

NFL arrest records

Many thanks to my friend NC for posting this link on his blog.

This site allows you to search the arrest records/citations for every team/player in the NFL. Fun times.

I should also thank the The San Diego Union-Tribune for spending hours putting this together.

Thank you! and Dr. House

On this Thanksgiving eve I've decided not to blog about football nor fashion...but about the people we should really be thanking, our troops.

You can visit, www.letssaythanks.com and select a card to be sent to the troops. You can even write a personal message to them.

Makes you realize who you're really thankful for this time of year. :)

Also a little thank you to Mondesi's House for finding this on YouTube because you know we've all been saying it for years.

Steelers fashion don'ts....

Since I started this blog, I've been waiting to a fashion don't post! I've been pointing out fashion do's and don'ts since middle school, its something I've always enjoyed. Anyway, while out to dinner the other night I came across a store, that I will not mention the name of, because they carried plenty of cute Steelers items to not ruin their reputation over a few bad ones. Sadly, someone is buying this crap or they wouldn't carry it.

I find it so sad that it is difficult to find cute, fashionable Steelers pieces, but somewhere out there someone is making crap like this. Please my fellow Steelers ladies, lets not stoop to this level. It is my hope that my blog helps to show you there are other options! :)

Short notice, but you can't pass up cupcakes and Steelers!

Sorry for the short notice, Pittsburgh readers, but if you see this in time, rush over to CoCo's Cupcakes for this awesome event!

Here's hoping for the Terrible Towel curse...

Apparently the Bengals fans did not learn their lesson the first time their team disrespected the Terrible Towel. .

Titan fans know all too well what I am talking about, they finally won their first game after making things right. Silly Titans.

Two things I've learned from this video...Cincinnati really is a classy town isn't it???? (Sarcasm) and now I'm not as worried about the Steelers making it to the playoffs. :)

P.S. Thanks for sharing the video N.C.

The Steelers, the positive....

I've decided on this Monday afternoon, after the tough loss yesterday, to talk about something positive the Steelers are doing.

On Monday November 23rd, you can join Deshea (and his adorable smile) as well as some of the other Steelers at Tusca Mediterranean Tapas in the South Side, for a charity art show benefiting the Pay It Forward foundation. Follow the links for more details on the event. And oh yes, GO Steelers! :)

Fear the stache! Lets go PITT

In honor of tomorrow night's game and for my "brothers" that play for PITT....

Troy Polamalu On Jimmy Fallon, we need to find Jimmy's address to send him hate mail for making Troy talk about Madden!

So I was going to start making a conscious effort to quit blogging about just the Steelers, however, I can't help it that they keep showing up everywhere! I have to share these clips of Troy on Jimmy Fallon, they are adorable! It makes me love him even more! And! January Jones is a Steelers fan, Betty Draper, can you put in a good word with your TV husband to become a Steelers fan too! :) Enjoy!

Also before you watch, be sure to check out Troy's charity site, especially on Veteran's Day!

NFL Films presents the story behind the Steelers and Renegade :)

Thanks to my good friend NC, and my fave sports blog, mondesishouse.blogspot.com, for showing me this video.

For those of you lucky enough to have attended a Steelers game in the last few years, you know how amazing it is when the Renegade video comes on. I don't know about you, but I usually get pretty moved during the video :) Apparently Ben does too!

Enjoy the video! And for my readers from Ohio, enjoy the clip because it shows the Browns in the playoffs...can any of you remember that far back??

NFL Fashion

Hi readers, I have to apologize in advance for this post, because my co-worker just sent me the link to this article, and I didn't take the time to calm my excitement before typing this, so forgive me if its a little crazy. :)

According to an article on NPR.org, the NFL is finally realizing that the women that make up 40% of their 200 million fans worldwide do not want the same dumpy merchandise that their male counterparts wear.

Its hard to believe that it was just 10 years ago that Reebok designed the first women's jersey and just 4 short years ago that the Green Bay packers released the first pink line for women, to help benefit breast cancer. It is so exciting to see the success of the steps they have made thus far. I can't help but get excited for what is to come for women's NFL fashion!!

I find the picture above to be a good sign of what is to come as well. It is the first NFL-authorized ball gown, made entirely out of Arizona Cardinals jerseys worn by the players themselves. Most positive trends that occur in fashion are a result of the trickle down effect, so if something is being shown on a runway in a high fashion way, it is only a matter of time until an everyday, ready to wear version appears.

Go Steelers! :)

Hines Ward, keep up the good work!

I wanted to take this time to congratulate Hines Ward on being named the dirtiest player in the NFL. According to a Sports Illustrated poll of 296 players released this week, Hines is a jerk.

I find the results of this poll a little crazy, considering Ray Lewis barely broke the top 20. And to make it even worse Troy was in the top 10. Troy, seriously? I guess I have to keep in mind off the field charity work is not factored in, and apparently in Ray's case neither is murder.

HERE WE GO....

Winner!

Thanks to everyone who entered the NFLSHOP.com giveaway, a lot of people told me they didn't enter because they couldn't get a lot with $20, clearly you're not a professional shopper like me, its free $20 dollars to apply towards something people! :)

Congrats to our winner...
