What do you do when there's nothing worthwhile to write about?
Well, besides post a YouTube video, that is...
Yep.
LINK DUMP!
Thank God for everyone else on the internets, because if you had to rely on my own feeble brain for entertainment, things could get a little hairy.
Today's "headline?"
"Cocks of a feather stick together."
I should've been a newsman. Missed opportunity.
And now for the links...
Big Ben loses out to his buddy Lebron in that awards thing everyone mentioned last week...but at least the Ben to Santonio play in the Super Bowl got "Play of the Year"...because, you know, everyone measures success by whether or not you win an "award" from the Spike network... [PSaMP]
An autographed pic from James Harrison? Who do I have to blow? I mean... [Blogbuster Sports Page]

John Clayton thinks the Ravens with "catch" the Steelers in either '09 or '10...which of course means jack shit [ESPN]
Florio's #7 worst offseason move = The Steelers franchising Max Starks...and I can't necessarily disagree...but I also found his #1 rather interesting... [The Sporting News]
Ziggy is impressing at OTAs...Ziggy Hood, that is. Not to be confused with Sean's Ziggy... [SteelCityInsider]
The Pens may be down, but 2-0 doesn't mean they're dead in the water. Reference: Caps series [The Legend of Vincent Tremblay]
It's a tough job, but someone's gotta keep blogging ignorance in check. Vern is a good man. And thorough... [You Lay On The Ice Like A Broad!]
It's always nice to see the Pirates win, but you can't really ignore the Mets lineup in this one... [WHYGAVS]
Holy blast from the past! [Deadspin]
Charlie Brown throwing out the first pitch was about as successful as the movie Snow Dogs [Sean's Ramblings]

Closing notes/after thoughts of the day...
1. Due to the size of these internets and my lack of time for surfing them, there may be some good pieces of news I missed. Oops, my bad.
2. I am literally counting the seconds until training camp. Which reminds me, if any of you are going to camp on a specific set of dates, email me. Tec and I will likely be making the annual pilgrimage and it'd be nice to meet some of you in person. Maybe share a beverage or two at Sharky's...who knows.
3. Meeting People Is Easy will actually be appearing this week. I'm calling it now. If you wanna be on this week's panel, you can assure yourself a spot by emailing me. Otherwise, you can probably just respond to the email I send out if you're part of the cast of usual suspects.
4. Please forgive the recent intermittent frequency of posting. There are a number of contributing factors, but the most salient is that I have nothing to say. Shocking, I know. I can hardly believe it, myself.
5. Balls
...just go with it.

Headline of the Day...
April 24, 2009
Meeting People Is Easy...
# of panelists = 17
Size of MPIE photoshop file = 36 MB
Hours spent photoshopping = Eat me
Reading this week's responses = PRICELESS
My Mom always told me, if you're going to do something, don't half ass it. I really took that to heart. And since I apply the same rules to blogging as I do to life, you'll see I've really dedicated myself to providing a fine MPIE this week.
17 panelists isn't a record, but it's pretty close. In hindsight, I probably should've broken this into two different images. But then again, in hindsight I am also lazy.
This week we've got many familiar faces and one noob. This week's rookie is KT, aka KDudders. What can I really say about Katie that her avatar doesn't already say for itself? If that thing is any indication of what she's like in real life, suffice it to say Katie doesn't eff around.
Joining her this week, the rest of your panel looks like this...
1. John Woods ~ High up on the ballot for the MPIE Hall of Fame...
2. Tiny350z ~ Sleeps with a cat as a blanket...
3. Pat ~ If the Pirates keep this up, methinks he may explode with excitement. Either way, don't sweat Doumit's injury too much...
4. Vern ~ Don Banks = drama queen...
5. Brett ~ Has semi-recently branched out to Twitterwebs...
6. Joey Porter's Pit Bulls ~ Has emerged from his slumber to offer thoughts on the draft...
7. Neena ~ No one talk to her this morning.../pens fail
8. Ladi Izz ~ Our long lost friend returneth!
9. Sheena Beaston ~ Be sure to send her your submissions for "Best Song to Punch Someone in the Face To"
10. Steve Braband ~ Great minds think alike :)
11. Doug ~ CafePress is fired!
12. Tec ~ Here's to hoping the Madden curse is OVER...
13. Nate ~ Slick new Yahoo-esque avatar this week...
14. Noah ~ This week's 11th hour addition...
15. Grumpy ~ This picture will never get old...
16. Me ~ Nothing to see here...
I'd write something witty and/or clever here, but frankly, I've already wasted enough of your and my valuable time. Besides, you know how this works by now. Do it...
