Tags: ben roethlisberger, football, nfl, pittsburgh steelers, , Sports

Box office numbers and award nominations don’t lie.  My guess is that you probably saw “The Curious Case of Benjamin  Button” in the theaters a few years back.  Terrific adaptation of the F.

Tags: #SportsPRChat, figure skating, nbc, olympics, sport, Sports

Every four years, the Winter Olympics rule the pop culture landscape, featuring a mix of events that are athletic, daring and sometimes insane.  Don’t believe me?  Take a look at Shaun White.  To do what he does, he must have healthy doses of all three of those traits.
