Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pittsburgh, and Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-San Diego, don’t just differ on what direction the country should go. No, their partisanship runs much deeper than that. Their juggernaut is over who wins the critically important Steelers-Chargers playoff game that will be held in Pittsburgh this Sunday.
At stake is a "friendly" wager that will mean lunch for the legislative staffs of whatever team comes up on top. If the Chargers win, Doyle will buy Primanti Brothers sandwiches and Iron City Beer for the meal. If the Steelers win, Bilbray will buy Rubio’s Mexican Food and Stone Brewery Beer.
“The Chargers won’t know what hit them Sunday” said Doyle via e-mail, “I almost feel bad about scoring a free lunch off Brian. Too bad they don't have a Primanti Brothers in San Diego."

Any fry is better with green chile and cheese on them.
I’ve drunk my share of IC.
And the Jets failed to make the playoffs, so what.
The AFC West doesn’t kick ass anymore. For most of the last 5 seasons have the AFC West was under 500, that’s not kicking ass, that’s sucking ass.

Curious ... do you have your drivers license yet?
Not that it has any impact on the recent performance of AFC West teams, which has been mostly bad, but I’m 39.
Condolences,Blue. Hopefully your wallet isn’t lighter.
I had a funny feeling I’d hear back from you. Good game to your Steelers, the Chargers got their a$$es handed to them. The better team won and good luck against the Ravens.
Class,Blue & thanks.
