Analogies, we all love them.  They tend to help each of us understand things and/or provide humor.   And what is better than a hockey analogy, especially one from the legendary Mike Lange to help Jen and I announce the next great phase for our family? So, if you haven’t gotten it yet from the […] Read more

[FLOWPLAYER=http://www.wjfuoco.com/movies/consol-energy-center/ConsolEnergyCenter.flv,480,360]     So folks, if you know me, you know me, my Dad, brother, & a few other guys went on a private tour of the new home to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Consol Energy Center on Friday, July 9th. Simply put, I was “love drunk”. Overwhelmed would be another word I could use, […] Read more

The Olympics, no singular event as large and heralded in the world.  And they start this Friday, I’m stoked to say the least!  After attending the Olympics myself in Torino, Italy in 2006, it’s safe to say I’m addicted.  I watched the 2008 Summer Olympics with great interest and the Winter Games, my favorite of the […] Read more

In today’s (12/16/2009) Post-Gazette, Ron Cook, a sports columnist, wrote an op-ed titled “Penguins win this round with a knockout”.  As always from Ron, a well written article.  However, I completely disagreed with his thesis.  At least to me, Ron’s entire point was that hockey fights are “barbaric” and takes away from a great game.

Once again, the Flyers shoot themselves in the foot.  With about 3 minutes left in the 1st OT, the Flyers send 2 men to the box to give the Pens a 5-3 Power Play.  Leave it to newly acquired Bill Guerin to score his 2nd goal of the playoffs and his 2nd goal of the […] Read more

This is going to be brief, for many reasons, 1 being I only have a few minutes left in my lunch and 2, I’m too mad to get too detailed right now! If you haven’t heard yet, NBC won’t allow the Pens to broadcast Game 3 on the large outdoor video screen set up outside […] Read more

Yes folks, it’s that time of year again … when men of all ages don’t shave (or at least have a valid reason not to), when these same men can be caught crying walking out of the very arena they walked into with shorts on, and more blood will be found on the respective playing […] Read more

Pittsburgh, PA. The Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the only team to win six titles, will soon be loosing half of those trophies.

Some of you are probably reading this and thinking “hmm, I wonder why he says ‘most humble'”, others: “HA!  Not true!”, and still others are thinking: “That’s right we are!”.  So for those that are not in the latter group, here me out … Pittsburgh is indeed known as the City of Champions, indisputable unless you live […] Read more

It’s the beginning of March and pitchers and catachers reported a few weeks ago.  Spring Training games are already under way and this is a special spring, the World Baseball Classic is taking place.  Not many Cactus or Grapefruit League games are shown on tv and with the weather warming up, it’s hard for me […] Read more

Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette had a article in the PG Sports section today, Hunt continues for Crosby’s winger, regarding what most of Pittsburgh and Crosby followers have been wondering now for almost 3 years: When will Sid get a winger?

So the Pens fell out of the Conference Playoff outlook this past week. They’ve lost 13 of their past 19 games, and nothing’s changed. Maybe nothing should? Maybe they just need to endure and consistent winning will beging again tomorrow with the Flyers (23-10-9, 3rd Place), Washington (27-13-3, 2nd Place) on Wednesday, and Anaheim (22-17-5, […] Read more

Well, the P-E-N-S started up the 2008-2009 season last weekend in Stockholm. Went 1-1 vs. the Sens. Kind of a sloppy 2 games, really early start for both teams.

The Steelers lost last night to the Jag’s in the Wild Card game. Besides them playing lousey for the 1st 3 quarters, they had an impressive 4th quarter to retake the lead.
