I am toying with the idea of doing mural painting and personal art projects as a side job. I'm curious to see what a fair rate would be to ask for a project of this type. (custom paint-job, mural, faux finishes etc).

I realize that it's the off-season. . . but hockey fans are still hockey fans in the off-season.

... Hossa's face after the SCF Game seven??

I mean seriously. I've watched that game a few times since it happened real-time and I can't figure it out... Why was his face so RED? Has he gotten a medical work-up since then 'cause that's not normal....

I lost the signal on DirecTV for like two minutes JUST before the second Pens goal.... anyone else have that happen??

Was Dan B. trying to send him a message to step up? Was he resting him for Game 7 play? (was he really THAT sure that the Wings would fold and it would go to seven games?)... Is he hurt and nobody's telling us? WHAT'S the DEAL???

oh wait... I know, the NHL and Bettman had a deal that Crosby would play all sixty minutes of game seven so that he would get more screen time then he already does. . . so that when the Penguins win the cup, which as you already know has been set in stone, he (Crosby) will already be on the ice for the award ceremony. <sarcasm>. . .just-in-case someone didn't pick up on it>

I SWEAR I saw Tie Domi cheering for the Penguins with Mario after that third goal for the Pens....

...I'm chomping at the bit to find out... anyone know what the potential dates are?

and

THAT : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd8cDxL_5IE

Both are knee-to-knee hits... I would like to hear your thoughts...

Oh and I hope that Gonchar is able to come back and play tomorrow... IMHO that was a B.S. hit... but it is hockey and not tiddlywinks... I however have lost respect for OV. . . completely.

The officials, the league, the teams, the TV networks, the announcers, the commisioner, anyone else that you can think of...

In fact, at the beginning of this month, Gary Bettman even went so far as to try and 'fix' the NHL.... take a look at this!!!

Anyone who can explain this phenomenon and its origins (conspiracy theories) will get the brownie points!!

(and apparently this question relates to Science and Mathematics according to Y!A... perhaps that was an attempt to bury this question!!!) ;)

Good move? Bad move? Too quick?

The 'interim' has been taken off of his title *officially* this morning. He signed a multi-year contract with the Pens.

....with R.J. Umberger? Does he have a few wires loose? Why does he, time after time, get blasted with the vicious hits? Why has he not learned that you have to keep your head up, or at the very least on a swivel??

I tried following the directions on the top of the page, in the little box, but it won't work. Please help!?!?

I tried dragging it everywhere you could possibly drag a link and it doesn't work as described.

I'm looking for a "back in the day" clip that includes Ron Hextall and Rob Brown.

Steelers' Reed pleads guilty to towel tantrum

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/spo...

... and should he be the next casualty of the ailing Penguins?

...after being dealt an unpaid, five-game suspension for dealing out a cheap, head-shot. He also received a 5-minute major and Game misconduct for the event. This is not his first offense and he certainly has a veritable rap-sheet throughout his 'illustrious' career. Thoughts?

Like in hockey, the winning team gets to take the Cup home and each player gets to spend time with it and make memories etc etc... What's the tradition with the Lombardi?

I have an "Official" Steelers Jersey and want to change the nameplate on it but I want as close to authentic as possible. I have since moved from Pittsburgh and live in Concord NC. I purchased the jersey from Honus Wagner in Downtown Pgh.

...Here's why I ask;

When teams try and duplicate it, they fail miserably (see the Carolina Panthers 'growl towel.' They completely unraveled).

When teams try and insult or disrespect the towel, they fall (see the Tennessee Titans LenDale White and Keith Bulluck. They stomped the towel into the turf and thought they were cool when they did so.) Now they're going to be sitting at home watching the Super Bowl like everyone else.

Tell me more and the best gets the Super Bowl-bound ten points!!! :D

okay. I've been stewing for a few days... I tried to let it go...

I just didn't really see the point for him #1

#2 he was completely irrelevant, as was much of the commentary frankly.

and #3 he was like a weathery circus clown with the head paint.

what was his purpose??
