Love the videos. Great idea putting them all in one place. But around here #1 is known as Ben's 6yd. TD throw.

Hey, remember last Wednesday when I told you I didn't have time to post then, but I'd get something up later on?
Guess what? Now is later on. Sorry about that. I had some serious heavy lifting to do at the end of last week, and let's face it, all I missed were some unfortunate celebrity deaths anyhow, right? So it all works out. The good news is, I plan to atone for the significant lag in posting by offering you plenty of crap you've probably already seen this morning. Here's how this is going to go - sad news, awesome memories, random hilarity. In that order. Got it? So, the sad news... As you've undoubtedly already heard, legendary TV pitchman and McKees Rocks native Billy Mays died yesterday. Of course, this, coupled with the recent deaths of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson has left everyone wondering which celebrity will be next. My hope is that it's Paris Hilton. But that's neither here nor there. Billy Mays was a hell of a spokesman. If you don't remember, he was perhaps most famously the personality who endorsed OxiClean. But he was also involved with the Zorbeez and my personal favorite, the Awesome Auger (among others)... Mikey and Big Bob from the Morning Freakshow have started a petition to get Billy onto the Primanti's Wall of Fame - thus immortalizing him properly at a legendary Pittsburgh mainstay. I have already signed, and I urge you all to do the same...that is, if the spirit moves you. RIP Billy. It should've been ShamWow Vince... Anyways, now that you've all dried your tears, it's on to the awesome memories. For some reason, I stumbled upon some message board on CBS Sportsline talking about the top 10 moments from the Steelers 2008-2009 season. At first I thought, "man, this dude really nailed it" (followed shortly thereafter by, "what the hell am I doing on a message board?"). Then I realized he was just reposting the text from Gerry Dulac's article back in February. Not that it really mattered, because either way, an idea was spawned... So because, A) Who doesn't wanna relive all that glory, and B) I have nothing better planned, below are videos of as many of the top 10 moments as I could find. Not a bad trip down memory lane on a Monday morning. Am I wrong? Here you go... 10. Troy Polamalu's one-handed interception Nov. 16 vs. San Diego Personally, I would've thought this would rank higher. I mean, I don't think I've ever seen anyone make a grab like that. But then, I guess it didn't mean as much to the outcome of that game as some of these other moments did. 9. Hines Ward's 8-yard TD catch with 1:53 left Oct. 5 in Jacksonville Couldn't find any video of this one, but if you do, leave that shit in the comments. 8. Ben Roethlisberger 6 for 6 on final drive to beat San Diego Nov. 16 See #9 7. Five takeaways on five consecutive possessions Nov. 30 in New England It's tough to really find one video showing five consecutive turnovers. So instead, perhaps an even more memorable moment from that Patriots game... Re-sign this man? The Steelers just might be trying to as we speak... 6. Holmes' 67-yard TD punt return vs. San Diego in AFC playoffs I kind of wish this one was higher on the list due to its sheer degree of awesomeness. But frankly, does it really matter where any of these rank? They're all pretty much of equal bad assedness in my mind.
5. Deshea Townsend's 25-yard TD interception return to beat Dallas Dec. 7 How sick was it to watch Deshea's old balls snatch that rock out of the air and return it for six and the win, right after Big Ben connected with Heath Miller for a game tying TD? I'll answer my own question - it was swine flu level sickening. 4. Troy Polamalu's 40-yard TD interception return in AFC championship game What can I say about this that the video doesn't already say for me? I love you, Troy Polamalu. 3. Holmes' 4-yard TD catch to clinch division title Dec. 14 in Baltimore Ravens fans are undoubtedly still menstrual over this. Of course now that the Steelers beat the Ravens for the AFC Championship and went on to win the Super Bowl, it no longer should matter. And yet...we all know the pissy demeanor of Ravens fans just won't allow that to happen. Whatevs. Too bad I couldn't find a better video of that catch. Maybe if the camera hadn't caught SARS from being in Baltimore...anyways. 2. James Harrison's 100-yard TD interception return in Super Bowl XLIII Well, it was either going to be #1 or #2 and seeing as how the #1 moment is well, you damn well know what the #1 moments is, so... 1. Santonio Holmes' 6-yard touchdown catch in Super Bowl XLIII There are probably still people in America (read: Seacocks fans) who think this wasn't a TD. Let it go, guys. Let it go. Santonio Holmes is my hero. And that does it for Gerry's top 10 moments list, although I think he may have missed this one below for whatever reason. So, for your own edification... I think that's one of my all time favs. Now, before I get to the final YouTube of the day, I figured I'd do something positive around this place and give you some links to explore... I trust you'll give them the proper 5-10 second read they all deserve... Santonio wants you to dance for him [PSaMP] With Kraig Urbik now signed, it's all Ziggy time [Steelers.com] A bunch of Steelers fans chat with Pussy_Monsta on ESPN's SportsNation [ESPN] Alex Marvez from Fox Sports states a lot of the obvious [Fox Sports] Face Me Ike gets back in touch with his roots [Times-Picayune] Many of you may have already seen this last week, but Doug has issued Big Ben quite a challenge [Get Fresh Designs] The five most underrated players in the NFL...at least according to Moondog Sports [Moondog Sports] This Ian Snell sitch takes another turn [WHYGAVS] Not that it'll surprise any of us, but Bill Guerin could kick Brett Favre's ass...Lori explains why [HFSS] How else would you honor the King of Pop's death but with a commemorative soccer jersey...makes perfect sense, right?

If you've never seen it, all I can tell you is potheads have really gotten enterprising in the 21st century. That and you probably want to listen to this one using headphones or at a low volume. They say bad words, **GASP**... And, I'm done. What's up, guys?
