At Least One Pittsburgh Team Is Going To Lose
Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies - Pittsburgh Sports Videos, Humor and Crack Analysis. And Ridiculously Small HorsesESPY award nominees were announced today, and I pretty much care as little as I thought I would. However, since Pittsburgh became the first city to claim both the NHL and NFL championships in the same year, that means the ESPY for Best Team will pit the Stanley Cup-winning Penguins against the Lombardi-hoisting Steelers.

Still, the Beavers' 5-foot-7, 185-pound junior probably watched Merriman closely, trying to see what makes an NFL star tick.
