Pittsburgh lost a legend in Mike Lange this past week. HJ reflects. Lets talk Steelers offseason as well.
Welcome to another episode of the Sports Porch Black and Gold Edition! This week, we kicked off the show with a heartfelt tribute to the legendary voice of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Mike Lange, who sadly passed away earlier this week. We reminisced about his iconic goal calls, his unique phrases, and his incredible ability to make every game sound exciting, even during the Penguins' rough years. Hockey Jesus shared some personal stories and insights into Lange's career, highlighting his impact on Pittsburgh sports culture.
We then transitioned into discussing the current state of the Penguins. Hockey Jesus provided an in-depth analysis of the team's struggles, particularly focusing on the goalie situation and the need for a rebuild. Despite the challenges, there's hope for the future with some promising young talent in the pipeline.
Next, we moved on to our popular Trader Joe's Snack Time segment. This week, we tried out a TikTok-inspired combination of garlic gondolas and Italian meatballs. While the gondolas received high praise, the overall combination was met with mixed reviews. We agreed that adding some tomato sauce might elevate the dish.
As always, we encouraged our listeners to follow us on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X for more content and updates. We also hinted at the possibility of opening up phone lines for live interactions in future episodes.
