Pittsburgers took to the streets in a spontaneous celebration upon the announcement that Post-Gazette columnist Bob Smizik was retiring. The rally snarled traffic for hours leaving motorists upset until they were informed of the retirement news. John Holub, a postal worker from Turtle Creek, told PSR "There was alot of road rage out there until the news spread about Smizik, after that we all jumped out of our cars and joined in the celebration." Smizik is lauded in Pittsburgh for not voting for Larry Fitzgerald for the Heisman Trophy, pissing in the Stanley Cup, headbutting Dan Potash, and the infamous "Beakergate" incident.
