Brandon Prust of the New York Rangers elbowed Pittsburgh Penguins center Jordan Staal in the face tonight and Staal simply retaliated with a singular punch to Prust’s face, knocking him down. There was no long, drawn out fight. Staal received a five minute match penalty, which forced him to leave the ice for the rest of the game. Five minutes?! For only one punch? He’s banned from the rest of the game?
Talking about life, sports, politics, and everything else imaginable.

Super Bowl XLV will be history in the making
With Super Bowl XLV upon us very soon, I feel it is necessary to put this matchup and the teams involved in the proper historical perspective. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers will square off in one of the most anticipated encounters in recent memory. Over the last decade, several franchises have reached the big game for the first time in their history, Tampa Bay in XXXVII, Carolina in XXXVIII, Seattle in XL, Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII, and of course the Saints last season as the most note worthy. Neither of this seasons representatives will be added to this list.

Troy Polamalu Wins Well-Deserved AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award
Troy Polamalu has been named The Associated Press 2010 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. In a year where Ben Roethlisberger missed the first four games and the Steelers offense was lethargic at times, Polamalu and the defense stepped up and helped the Steelers go 12-4 and make the Super Bowl.
Polamalu, who was also voted to his fifth Pro Bowl this year, was absolutely electric for most of the season. He impacts the game unlike any defensive player I've ever seen.

Jeremy Piven isn't a fan of this year's Super Bowl match-up
Jeremy Piven, also known as "Ari Gold" from Entourage isn't a fan of either team in this year's Super Bowl. On TMZ.com there's a video of Piven saying that he would have rather have had the Jets and Bears in the Super Bowl. He then when on to say that "no one wants to see Rapist-burger in the Super Bowl" and that "no one wants to see Rapist-berger and the Cheese Heads."
