Nice work!
So, for the first time ever, the Pirates and the Steelers both had their regular seasons end on the same day.
poor things [steelers]
thank GOD for the Bucs, bc otherwise there would be lots of floaters in those three rivers!!
There were lots of people floating on the river yesterday.
Yes, we went down to see the duck.
I feel your pain - the Texans were totally handling Seattle on the defensive side....then Schaub helped them out. We want TJ Yates!!!!
Sorry dude. Homosexual, means celibacy.
You need look no further than Lot.
At least you didnt draft Geno Effing Smith.
We finally get an offensive coordinator, and now we have the Barack Obama of QBs, a not ready for primetime player, who is on the field because Sanchez is injured.
The Steelers are doing pretty well considering that they can’t block or tackle. There are immediate problems, like the offensive coordinator. But I also think they need to look at the entire system. They aren’t getting good drafts.
My husband is a fan of West Virginia so he was a Geno fan...but last year Texas Tech just destroyed them (and we still had that azzwipe coach who almost destroyed our team) so I knew then he was all hype. I’m shocked at the Giants this year - are we seeing the rise of the West Coast teams???
The rule of thumb in DC is that whichever chamber of Congress has the Dem control must always be propitiated ...
Dave, I say this will a pure heart....Rothlesburger is old and needs to go. As a “not steelers fan” I would love for him to stay because he just can’t move anymore. It just seems that with a few exceptions (like the Manning brothers and a very few others) the new hot QBs are young and willing to risk their lives by scrambling. The old guys are too important and won’t risk it - I’m sure the owners tell them NOT to run but the fans want to see them do something besides eat turf all day. You need a new QB
and a new goalie ; ) i read yesterday that Pens are considering Bryzgalov. you cannot rely on that nut Fleury, bc he’s too easily spooked, and Vokoun also is old and not reliable enough.
Ben needs protection. He is the only thing working on the offense right now.
And when the idiot in charge of the offense lets Ben run the no huddle, it works.
That’s the entire thing playing out over the last 2 years. Todd Haley wants Ben to sit in the pocket and not scramble, but that is against Ben’s nature and suicidal when you have no offensive line.
Ben has thrown some dumb balls this year, yes. But he’s not ready to be put out to pasture yet.
Vokoun is injured.

New Kenny Powers was on last night. I have it recorded.
