Erie PA News, Sports and Events for Monday, February 8, 2010

Hope you enjoyed some nice weather this weekend. Looks like we’re due for another bunch of snow Tuesday and Wednesday. It was nice to see what was going on in Pittsburgh and laugh. Amateurs.

I’ll say this about the Super Bowl. People call Peyton Manning an elite QB, and in many aspects he certainly is, but I’ll remind you that Ben Roethlisberger has 2 Super Bowl rings to Manning’s one. Just sayin’.

I saw most of the commercials, but I missed the first quarter. What was your favorite. I think mine was Google’s. Don’t tell anyone, but I may spend a bit of the day today catching up on all the spots over at Hulu.

Over 30 people got sick at a church service in the Warren area this past weekend due to suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. Where is your air circulation now?

Joseph Lumsden of Erie has been arrested in the stabbing death of Gregory Pianka this weekend at the Hi and Dri Pib on W. Lake Road.

Willie Baker, 23, has been sentenced to spend the rest of life in prison for killing Anne Ropelewki. Ropelewski, 86, was beaten and stabbed in her home. Baker is lucky he didn’t get the death penalty.
