Eric's Bio

I've been a die hard fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins since I was old enough to understand sports in general. I went to my first game when I was 5 years old, and have been hooked ever since.

I watch the Steelers because you really can't not watch them if you live in Western Pennsylvania. I cheer when they win, I get a little down when they lose, but ultimately, football isn't my sport so I generally keep my opinions to myself.

I long for the day the Pittsburgh Pirates return to relevancy. I also long to win 9 billion dollars in the PA lottery. Wish #2 seems much more likely these days.

Like a typical Pittsburgh sports fan, I hate all things Philadelphia, most especially the Flyers. I'm usually not the typical run-of-the-mill writer when it comes to sports, so if I say something to offend you or your team, please don't take it personally. Unless of course that team is based out of Philadelphia, then by all means, do take it personally, because it is.

The Patriots are cheaters and Bill Belichik ranks in the top 10 on the list of most obnoxious human beings, right below Mike Emrick, Eddie Olcyzk, Pierre McGuire, Mike Milbury, Terry Francona, John Stevens, Ted Leonsis, Chris Osgood, and every legal citizen of the city of Philadelphia and its' surrounding areas.

Golf is not a sport, it is a hobby. Golfers are not athletes, they are people who excel in their hobby. Hitting a ball and then walking for 5 minutes to find it is by far not a sports-related activity.

So basically, I live and breathe Pittsburgh Penguins hockey. You can check out my blog at : www.pensevolution.blogspot.com if you have absouletly nothing else to do with your life, but if your expectations are high before you click the link, you will be let down.

Unlike most other people on the site, I'm not going to list my numerous articles that have been featured on other websites, or brag about how sweet I am. I do this for fun, not to make a name for myself.

If 12 Penguin fans read my articles and like them, that is more of an accomplishment to me than if 12,000 random jokes read them and they end up on some big-time sports website.

My favorite words include "joke" and "whoooooooooooo" and I over-use them on a regular basis, usually when I feel a real response is not warranted.

Books are a joke. Go watch a movie.

I live by 5 letters: WWGRD?

Q: What's the difference between Marian Hossa and the Joe Louis Arena??
A: Only one sells out....

To the Washington Capitals and their fan base, I offer two numbers, separated by a dash, symbolizing two decades of dominance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs: 7-1.

Max Talbot for President of Philadelphia. Whoooooooooooooooooo.

Whether on ICE or on GRASS... We'll Kick Your Ass. Pittsburgh, 2009. The City of Champions.

LET'S GO PENS.

  May 10, 2001- Darius Kasparitis scores the game winning goal in OT of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

• Most Memorable Game Attended

  Dec. 27, 2000- Mario Lemieux's first game since coming out of retirement. Mario had a goal and two assists in an epic performance.

• Most Unbreakable Sports Record

  Gary Roberts. You Can't Break Him. Ever.

• Ruth or Mays?

  Neither one used roids, so they're both good in my book.

• Unitas or Montana?

  Johnny U, the Pittsburgh boy.

• Jordan or Russell?

  MJ. Hands down, the greatest basketball player of all time. He could hit a slider, too.

  I'll take Janet Gretzky at the blackjack tables anyday, other than that, Lemieux.

• Pele or Maradona?

  Are those bullfighters? Soccer's a joke.

• Federer or Sampras?

  The guy with the yellow shorts on Wii Tennis

• Tiger or Nicklaus?

  Golf isn't a sport, it's a hobby. And Tiger is an arrogant prick.

• Petty or Earnhardt?

  "3" was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Not much of a NASCAR fan, but the Intimidator is a legend.

• Schumacher or Senna?

  Mountain Ranges? The Appalachians.

• Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

  Gary Roberts scored a hat trick and won 3 fights for one team in every major conference in College Hockey.... on the same night.
