IceCap Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Why do the Steelers have a little old man as their kicker?DOUCHEThat was my initial thought when I saw the second image of him. It's actually funny though, because my dad ended up sitting next to that chef guy at a local restaurant while he picked his brains on what he thought was good to eat there.Guy Fieri is no chef. The dude has a bachelor's in Hospitality Management. He is qualified to be a manager at a local TGI Friday's, but unqualified to cook there.The Food Network apparently thinks he's qualified to be a chef. Why else would they have given him 3 shows (Guy's Big Bite; Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives; and Ultimate Recipe Showdown)? Just because someone didn't graduate from a culinary institution doesn't mean they're not qualified to be a chef.Um, yes, it does. That's like saying "just because they didn't graduate from medical school doesn't mean they're not qualified to be a doctor."

Gothamite Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Good point.The Food Network has given him three shows because they think he's good television, not saying anything about his cooking qualifications.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Can't you finish an apprenticeship, and then be a chef? Isn't that how it used to go before culinary school?

Thad Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Surprisingly, I saw someone walking around in that jersey on campus. I thought it was a knock-off, I guess it might not have been.

Cooking food doesn't equal prescribing medicine, last I knew.No, it's not, but be it an apprenticeship or graduating culinary school, he hasn't gone through the appropriate channels to become a chef. A doctor, chef, mechanic, almost any profession requires the appropriate training. Guy Fieri hasn't fulfilled the necessary qualifications to become a chef. And Chili's rules.

IronChefShark Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Ive actually been to three places that were featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives:Mad Greek Cafe in Baker, CA on the way to Las Vegas - was pretty good, but I rate it the worst of the three "triple-D featured places" Ive been to.Falafel's Drive In in San Jose - I am actually very much a fan of this placeJoe's Cable Car Diner in San Francisco - ate there one time and was pretty impressed, however they have a plasma there mounted that continually plays the clip from the show on a loop. It got annoying after two times.and steering back on topic......the pens need a new logo that actually looks like a penguin.

Police said he broke the towel dispenser then used profane language to an employee and also outside the store."Reed caused damage to a towel dispenser as he was infuriated at the fact that there were no towels in it," according to a news release by Trooper Shawn Askins, who issued the citations. The incident occurred Saturday about 2:50 a.m.A message left on an answering machine at Reed's home was not immediately returned.Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett said the team wouldn't have any immediate comment."We're still gathering information right now," Lockett said Saturday.Reed made 27 of 31 field goals and 36 of 37 PATs for 117 points in his seventh season with the Steelers, which was capped by Pittsburgh's 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl.Reed has made nearly 83 percent of his field goals (162 of 196) and scored 733 points for the Steelers in his career.

hormone Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Story goes that he was at a bar for an appearance/autograph session and after the third person went, he announced he just wanted to party and only let skanky girls up to see him. He was supposed to have "Steeler friends" and showed up with Sepulvada (sp?) the team chiro and a relative. Got drunk and upset at Sheetz and the rest is reported in the blotter above.

sappy13 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 http://penguinjersey.com/PensPages/PensJer...-90Jerseys.htmlSays it is the first 3rd jersey and it was worn sundays.If I remember correctly, they also had gold helmets at the time, too.The only thing keeping this jersey from perfection is that the numerals are on the shoulders instead of the sleeves. Gold numerals on the sleeves would be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
