Numerous Injuries in Steelers Victory over Ravens

The Steelers pulled out a tough 23-20 win over the hated Ravens in OT on some Skippy Reed heroics. Honestly, throughout the first half of the game, I was completely bored, and at times melting down in a white hot rage. The Steelers appeared so hapless. Luckily, the game turned on a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct against a veteran Raven who had never had such a penalty called against him before. The Steelers took that momentum and ran it in a no huddle for all they were worth. In the process we lost Kendall Simmons and Rashard Mendenhall for the year.


Well, your Pirates are just one year closer to a RECORD BREAKING 17 Consecutive Losing Seasons!... They finished the year an abysmal 67-95. Is there any hope left for this group of losers? My instincts say no... In fact, I'll bet my life savings that they'll go past the 20 year mark... If I could somehow live that long, I'd even take the 100 year mark. Bob Nutting, you are officially public enemy number one. I hate you. In fact, I hate you so much, I'm not able to tell you how much I hate you in front of my imaginary wife!


Sergei Gonchar will be out 4-6 months... Well, at least Sarge will make it back this season! The Pens will just have to work harder... If they can survive all that time without Crosby and do so well, we can do with until Sarge comes back.


That's all for this edition.

Ah Yes...

I'm a little early, I know... But I just couldn't help but share this find from YouTube... It's been a long time since I heard it, and it is now my unofficial theme song.

Helpless, Hapless, Hell, and Hard Times: The Cleveland 4H Club

Having returned just a couple of minutes ago from a night down at Mon City's Aquatorium with my close friend Joe, enjoying conversation and the warm windy night, I can say tonight's game was not my Sunday highlight.

Oh of course it's great that the Steelers have now won 10 straight against the pathetic Brownies, who were stylish picks to win the AFC North this year. Needless to say, I was one of many inside loyal Steeler Nation offended and angry at the slight... After all, it was The Nature Boy Ric Flair who said "To be the man, you gotta beat the man, WOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Well, it was a sloppy, and pretty boring affair actually. When a game does not either come close to giving my fat ass a heart attack or give me laryngitis, it's not exciting. (The Steelers-Colts game in the 2005 Divisional Playoff has been the only game to actually do both) The Steelers held a firm control over the entire 4 Quarters. Derek Anderson threw a couple picks, and one to the resurgent Troy Polamalu! Roethlisberger continues to be efficent, throwing a TD to Ward (the only one of the game) and making some nice deep passes to Holmes. Ben was nailed a couple times, but Cleveland's defensive line is strong. Still, I thought the O-line could've done a little better protecting Benjamin.

Anyway, always good to get a win over Cleveland and take command of the division. Steelers prevailed with a score of 10-6.


The Pirates are still playing????? Get the F*ck outta here!!!!

Hockey season getting ready to start soon too... Those bastards at FSN... I MISS MIKE LANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it for this week's edition. Tune in next week as I will do a little Steelers recapping, and of course attempt to linguistically eviscerate the Pirates and Bozo The Bob Nutting.

Steelers Crush Texans 38-17

Well, opening day ended in excellent fashion as Ben Roethlisberger has another perfect day... I think, if I'm right, Roethlisberger now has the most 158.3 games in NFL history... If I'm wrong, will I have egg on my face, but since I last knew that he and Manning were locked in a dead heat for most perfect games... I'm thinking he now has the record.

Also, great day by the defense who put up five sacks and Troy Polamalu gets over the hump and gets an INT. Willie Parker also scored 3 TD's, more than he had all of last year. The offensive line also looked really good... Roethlisberger was hit a couple times, but Mario Williams is no slouch, so it is understandable.

In all, great opening day, and I'm hoping the Steelers can compete down the long haul of the season.
