Lindsay Lohan is taking hot pictures to cure a random disease. Just kidding she’s gonna be in a photoshop fail compilation

Lindsay Lohan dropped this little nugget on Instagram this weekend and at first glance I had flashbacks to the better days of 2005 but upon further review she’s the worst.

It took the help of Wikipedia but I figure out what Chikungunya is. It basically boils down to joint pain which to be honest doesn’t concern me. I’ve been cracking my knuckles, back, and ankles for years counting on a cure to be invented before any kind of joint pain and/or arthritis sets in. Further more I’m not quite sure how any arrangement of LiLo, Calvin Klein, or selfies is going to cure anything, hopefully the pharmaceutical industry has a better idea what to do.

The real story here is Lindsay pulled off some real shitty photoshop work.

This can go one of two ways. Either her vagina’s gravitation pull is sucking in and bending that bottle or she sucked her stomach in via photoshop and pulled the bottle in with it. I’ll assume the latter to be true. Just awful, add this to a growing compilation of photoshop fails. Being honest, I have to say I do better work with free software adding faces to wrestling pictures.

The effort’s just not there Lindsay, don’t count on this getting you the call up, let alone an addition to the 40 man roster.

The Rock breaks Twitter, in Philly on eve of the Rumble

To quote the great Jim Ross, business is about to pickup. Late last night The Rock dropped this bomb on Twitter, chillin in South Philly on the eve of The Royal Rumble emanating from Philly’s Wells Fargo Center.

Royal Rumble is the best show of the year to see in person.  Had a chance to sit ringside last year in Consol where we saw CM Punk for the final time and I started a “We Want Divas” chant during the Cena Orton match.

Crowds always hot for the Rumble itself, with last years Pittsburgh crowd causing a stir for its heavy booing in last years Rumble most notably when Rey Mysterio popped out at number 30 instead of “Yes Man” Daniel Bryan.

That being said, if The Rock’s song drops at #30 the place may explode. I just wish the scumbags in Philly didn’t buy up all the tickets in the presale only to mark them up on Stubhub.

Decent card overall, I’ll reach and go on the record predicting The Rock wins the Rumble and goes on to Mania in Santa Clara to conquer the conquer Brock Lesnar. Then before the show closes Roman Reigns (who I predict beats Seth Rollins earlier in the night for his Money in the Bank briefcase) slides in the ring, superman punches Rock and steals the championship to start the Reign of Reigns. Have a nice yearlong dominating run on the way Mania 32 in Dallas with Rock vs Reigns.

Its officially All Star Weekend, lets watch Sid be awesome on a Go Pro

Just Sidney Crosby doing his thing and showing off why hes the best. True shame he wont make this years game but of course saving himself for the impending cup run is much more important.

Those other guys have skills too, might make something of themselves one day.

Weeks ahead of the annual swimsuit issue, Sports Illustrated lays off all their photographers

(Source) Sports Illustrated, a pioneer in attention-getting sports photography, has laid off the remaining six staff photographers, a cost-cutting move that will result in the magazine relying solely on outside contributors.

An institution among adolescent boys, the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit addition has become a staple for guys for decades. But after letting go of their seasoned photographers, speculation has run rampant that this year’s swimsuit edition is on the fritz.

Fortunately The Yuppie Yinzer has received some early images of this years issue (below), scheduled to deliver on time. Keeping with the recent motif of Kate Upton overload, this year marks the final year to a classic trilogy, titled “Selfie.”

I wonder how much road rage this troll bumper sticker incites

2015/01/img_8679.jpg

People who run in marathons and compete tough mudder for their bumper sticker and Facebook glory are the worst people out there.

That being said I tip my hat to this guy for going with a quality troll bumper sticker. If this enrages at least one guy rocking band aids on his nipples they have succeeded.

Here’s your Yinzer of the day, gunshots fired at Giant Eagle when pistol falls out of shopper’s fanny pack.

(Source) RICHLAND TOWNSHIP, Pa. —A gunshot was fired inside the Giant Eagle grocery store at the Northtowne Square shopping center on Friday afternoon, police said. Northern Regional Police Chief Robert Amman said a gun fell out of a shopper’s fanny pack when he bent over to pick something up, and the weapon discharged.

This is why you we can’t have nice things. Everyone’s all willy nilly about gun laws, wants to put a gun in everyone’s hands to protect everyone and then before you know it we have accidental gun shots at the grocery store. Realistically, if the first question on the gun application isnt “will you conceal this in a fanny pack?” then we really need to reevaluate how were deciding who gets guns.

To date the only person able to successfully pull of a fanny pack and guns are The Rock.

Executive Decision – Forget Pirmantis, the Roethlisburger has to be the City Sandwich

For too long now, Yinzers across western PA have welcomed out of town friends and family and treated them to what they believe to be a Pittsburgh staple, a Primanti Brothers sandwich. Meanwhile behind their backs, these same friends and family are driving back to their hometowns laughing at what an underwhelming and lazy sandwich the steel city has chosen to represent them.

Every city needs a culinary staple. For some they put their own twist on classics such as the pizzas in Boston, New York, and Chicago. Other cities come guns a blazing and put their own coat of paint on entire food genres such as BBQ in Memphis, the Carolinas, Texas, and Kansas City. Associating your city with a sandwich is nothing new, as our filthy neighbors to the east have put all their eggs in their cheesesteak basket. (Editors note, forget Pats and Geno’s the best cheese steaks are outside the city in numerous pizza shops).

In Pittsburgh, some yinzer threw fries and slaw on their sandwich and boom a legend was born. And that was great for people through the nineties but at the turn of the century another Pittsburgh staple was on the edge of reinventing the sandwich game and preparing to overthrow the king.

With the 11th pick in the first round of the 2004 draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Ben Roethlisberger. A 6’5″ 240 pound quarterback out of Miami University in Ohio. And with that selection a light went off in all the city’s sandwich makers but one stood out amoung the rest when Peppis crafted the Roethlisburger.

Not unlike Primaniti’s, the fine folks at Peppis leaned on ingredient overload to create a unique taste. It starts with a blend of beef and sausage before being topped with American cheese and fried egg all atop another Pittsburgh legend, Mancini’s Bread. A true pro adds onions, and maybe that’s not common place which would explain why I have to lead this charge.

All of these ingredients come together for a full blown oral orgasm. Pirmantis is coming to the the sandwich gunfight to face Peppis gun with a spork and unfortunately can’t hold Roethlisburger’s jock.

Its time to come together as a city and improve our laughing stock image. I’m confident once we get the Roethlisburger to be the face of Pittsburgh it won’t be tough to usurp the cheesesteak as the PA sandwich staple.

Local Legend Pat McAfee wipes some jabroni off the Twitter map.

After a valid point, some hardo Mike Gomes went ahead and poked the bear. A known Twitter jewel, Pat McAfee went ahead and chirped back. Warning: Viewer discretion advised.

WrongNumbaGif

Literally wipes Gomes of the twitter galaxy with that blow as @mike_gomes63 is no longer an active Twitter handle. Get back to your drinks Pat.

Side note, Pat joins Antonio Brown on Team Carter for this Sunday’s Pro Bowl further locking them up for a W.

Of course the new gym rat Antonio Brown is a Pro Bowl captain.

Now of course he looks better in black and yellow but it shouldn’t surprise anyone that this guy is sitting with the captains. Lead the league in receiving yards and hauled in 13 TDs. If Leveon Bell didn’t sprout a vagina for the playoffs Antonio would probably be prepping for the Super Bowl instead.

Not sure what the line is on this Sunday’s Pro Bowl but with Antonio and their number one pick Andrew Luck, it’s safe to say Team Carter’s rollin.

While the Cubs add star power and the Cardinals continue to dominate the Central, the Pirates are putting all their hope into the shift

(Source) Defensive shifting isn’t a new thing, as any good Ted Williams fan could tell you, but they are becoming more common with the increase in technology on the scouting front. In fact, noted defensive statistician John Dewan reports — via the 2015 Bill James Handbook — that there were 2,464 shifts in Major League Baseball in 2010 and that number rose to 13,296 last season. It’s working, too, as Dewan notes that shifts saved 195 runs in 2014.

The last two years the Pirates have teased fans with October baseball. The teams that used to dominate the central have had some down years and with the addition of a second wild card slot, Pittsburgh has benefited. This Pirates offseason however did not resemble that of other perennial contenders. The A’s made move, the Dodgers made moves, the Nationals made moves. The freaking Cubs added the best pitcher out there to join a young core riddled with potential.

And what did the Pirates do? Nothing, they’re going to go with the shift.

This idea that pitching and defense wins championships is only going to create false hope and leave our balls blue come October. Hell, the way this division improved we might be lucky enough to have that abdominal pain by August. Get me some masher who can discreetly juice up and lets start launching balls into the Allegheny.

There is a certain juicer third baseman training with a Pirate legend that could certainly fill a void…
