Have you ever seen the movie “Snatch”? No, really. The 2000 Guy Ritchie crime/comedy movie starred Benecio Del Toro, Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, Dennis Farina, Vinnie Jones, and a slew of other notable faces.
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, the culmination of a lot of work put in by… us, the Deadspin staff. Seriously,, my teammates here did a hell of a job the past couple of weeks. The game tonight is the biggest thing in the sports world, but Saturday was really busy, with the NFL awards and Pro Football Hall of Fame…
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A business owner in Pittsburgh is doing his part for the community during the pandemic.
Cody Eichert, the owner of Headturnerz Tint and Detailing LLC, is asking people to bring their children’s car seats to his car detailing garage so he can sanitize them. He said he loves children and he just wants to help kids stay healthy until this pandemic ends.
Eichert spends a lot of time in his garage in Beechview making sure cars look brand new, but now his business is taking on a new task for families during the pandemic.
They’re steam cleaning and sanitizing children’s car seats for free.
“I wanted to be able to provide a free service that will keep your kids clean and sanitized. I know how hard it is to try to clean car seats at home,” Eichert said.
Eichert opened his shop on Saw Mill Run Boulevard less than a year ago, and he’s already paying it forward.
“If that’s my best way of giving back to my community that served me well and treats me well, then that’s what I want to do,” Eichert said.
He said they’ve detailed about two dozen car seats. They use two types of steamers and a sanitizing spray.
“This will kill basically everything Lysol will kill, 99.9% of germs… COVID, the common cold, the flu, the whole 9 yards,” Eichert said.
Eichert said he just wants the best for children in the area and would like to add a shiny touch to others’ lives during these difficult times.
“It’s nice to see someone’s face and even my customer last night, her face lit up when she saw her car seat. She couldn’t believe how clean they came out,” said Eichert.
When asked how long he would provide this free service, he said, “as long as the pandemic lasts, I would like to keep doing it.”
Eichert recommends calling me or messaging them on before bringing in your car seats.
When you drop off the car seat, they may need to keep it for several hours or a day.
They are limiting two car seats per customer.
UNIONDALE, NY (AP) — Anders Lee scored on the power play late in the third period to lift the New York Islanders over the Pittsburgh Penguins 4–3 on Saturday night, snapping a five-game skid.

Rawalpindi: Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan, who scored his maiden Test century against South Africa in the second Test, revealed that Yasir Shah challenged him to score a century.
The 34-year-old Yasir told Rizwan that If he scores a century then he will be called as a proper batsman.
“Yasir Shah said to me that I will only consider you as a proper batsman if you score a hundred, as even I can score fifties. So I took that it a challenge and wanted to ensure that I made a hundred today,” Rizwan said in a virtual presser.
Rizwan also disclosed what former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed did after he went back to the pavilion. “When I went back to the pavilion after the innings ended and I had scored a century, Sarfaraz Ahmed hugged me. It’s a team game, it’s healthy competition between Sarfaraz and me but we have a lot of respect and admiration for each other.”
Rizwan mentioned that he learned a lot from Asad Shafiq, who used to bat mostly with the tail.
“You have to learn to bat with the tail and at this level you cannot make any excuses that you were batting with the tail-enders. Batting with the tail-enders is tough and I watched how Asad Shafiq batted with the tail and learnt a lot from him,” he maintained.
Sydney: England’s James Vince blasted 95 and took a crucial catch as the Sydney Sixers downed the Perth Scorchers for their third title in Australia’s Big Bash final in Sydney on Saturday.
Vince’s fireworks propelled the Sixers to 188 for six and they restricted the Scorchers to 161 for nine to win by 27 runs.
Coming on the back of an unbeaten 98 against the Scorchers, Vince again blitzed the Scorchers’ bowling, surviving two dropped catches in the 80s before he was dismissed just five short of a century.
Vince crowned his night with a sensational diving catch at short extra cover to dismiss big-hitting Mitch Marsh for 11 and put the defending champion Sixers firmly on top in the 15th over.
“I’ve really enjoyed my time here. I’m happy to have made the contributions, but I couldn’t have done it without the guys who have done it throughout the competition,” Vince said.
Vince earlier overcame his part in the unsettling run out of opening batting partner Josh Philippe for nine in a huge mix-up.
He failed to make contact and retreated back to his crease while Philippe charged down the pitch leaving both batsmen at the same end.
Vince went on his run rampage and was dropped on 82 by Marsh running backwards when he skied Aaron Hardie into the night air and then was narrowly missed by diving Cameron Bancroft before he was finally out.
He sliced Fawad Ahmed to Marsh at short third man to end his blistering 60-ball knock.
Only a week ago Vince was stranded on 98 when AJ Tye ended his team’s finals qualifier game with a bouncer that was called wide in the Sixers’ nine-wicket win in Canberra.
Bancroft hit a lively 30 off 19 balls in the Scorchers’ innings before he skied Jackson Bird to Vince for the initial breakthrough in the fifth over.
Bird got the big wicket of Englishman Liam Livingstone who unleashed a big hit but was caught on the ropes by Jordan Silk for an explosive 45 off 35 balls with two sixes in the 11th over.
Man of the match Vince swung the tide for the Sixers with his athletic catch to remove the threatening Marsh.
That took the task beyond the Scorchers and they fell well short in a flurry of lusty swings and wickets.
“It’s a special atmosphere, we got used to playing in front of empty stands, and to have our home crowd cheering for us has been fantastic,” Sixers captain Moises Henriques told the crowd at the presentation.
“We’ve had a list of great performers. I think all 18 players have played. We’ve had so many tough decisions to make and that’s why we’re finishing in the top two.”
The Scorchers and Sixers, both three-time champions, are the only two clubs to have won multiple titles in Australia’s T20 competition.
So successful have the Sixers and the Scorchers been that only three BBL finals have come and gone without either taking part.
