Ugottabe McKiddingme

Yes, yes, it has been a long time. And I've received some complaints to that effect (Hi, Kara!). But I'm back because I read today that the Pittsburgh Steelers have their first-ever mascot, and they have picked a name for it.

The name ... wait for it ... is "Steely McBeam" -- seriously. I was wondering how long it took to think of that one. Ten seconds? Twenty?

Turns out the name was fan-submitted, and the winner gets Steelers VIP tickets to a game against Buffalo. But the best part is that there were 70,000 entries. You're seriously going to tell me that no one came up with anything better than Steely McBeam? My only hope is that the day of this game, Buffalo unveils its own mascot named Billy McBison.

Also, anyone notice how in the picture from the article how much this new mascot looks like Barry Bonds? Yeah, I thought so.
