Does anyone want to hazard a guess here? I say Ecuador, especially now that Wilson Palacions won’t be around.

Late Night Open Thread: Reviewing the Steelers’ Pittsburgh
Now that Cole’s toddled off to bed, I can share PFT Commentor’s brilliant (satirical) Terry Bradshaw concert review at SB Nation:
… Pittsbugh Pennsylvania and the Pittsbugh Steelers in particular embody every thing thats right about how to play football and every thing that use to be great about America. Its a hard nose blue collar town that loves there Steelers and commits to the running game and stopping the run except the whole city must take pretty poor angles of pursuit on every one whose over 20 years old thats trying to escape…
This was a very diffucult weekend to be a Pittsburghian (Pittsburger? Pittsburgionian? Pittsburghite? No one knows.) As weve all heard by now, Coach Chuck Noll had passed away on Friday night, the day before I flew in to town. ICYMI Chuck was a oldschool coach who packed more lunchpails then Philip Riverses wife and more rings than Elizabeth Taylor!!! He was never a flashy type guy but he got his team to work I guess you could say he was the Ronald Reagan of Coaches accept Noll instead of tearing down a Iron Curtain he built a Steel Curtain to prevent Patriots from Russian on him! (USSR reference) Chuck Noll was a great coach and the entire town was in a state of mourning when I arrived. The line at Primanti brothers was only a hour long so you knew that somthing was off…
Terry Bradshaw is what they call in Pittsburgh “A Lambert of all trades.” The man can sing dance, tell jokes, forget his train of thought, win championships, and make out with Jay Leno all in one lifetime. He was putting on a live 90 minute show called “Americas Favorite Dumb Blonde” at a casino in Gods country 30 mins outside Pittsburgh in Washington, Pennsylvania. They named the town after George Washington because your max bet at the Casino is a one dollar bill and most of the people who go there voted for him…
There are pictures of the shrine to Coach Noll at Heinz Field, and it’s the most pathetic thing I’ve seen since the last time I ventured over to Redstate.
