that's true. and i just dislike him, i don't hate him on the same level as say i hate eli.

Exactly. Ben might not be the greatest QB in the league, but he has to be good enough to win.

Ok, they have to change their strategy on Gates. He's caught 3 or 4 pretty key balls right now I think. Also, I don't see much of Harrison so far. Woodley is playing better so far (or the Chargers are doing good focusing on Harrison).

Probably doing something more enjoyable, like staying at home and pulling out their fingernails one by one.

Cmon,
you have to know the priority queue in the burgh, right? 4 years of living there convinced me off this, and I doubt things have changed.

1. Stillers
1a. Stillers off-season.
2. Pitt
2a. Penguins
435. Pirates.

Good punt. But taking a safety and free kicking might have been a better move

Not very suspenseful games down the stretch today..

Well there is a good college hoops doubleheader starting up in a little bit on Fox Sports Net.

I know the game is basically over but Harrison gets tackled and no flag comes out.

Shutting the door. Pittsburgh looked impressive today. Should be a great one next week against Baltimore.

Unlike last year where any combination of the 4 teams (Pats, Packers, Giants, Bolts) would have been compelling or interesting.

On the bright side for the network, there will probably be plenty of inventory available to use for makegoods (i.e. when the game underdelivers the audience promised for the $3m per spot pricetag, they have to give free spots to the advertisers to make good the audience shortfall).

you really are a graceless winner.

It must be sad to go through life as a sport fan taking more joy in other peoples teams losing instead of your own team winning.

Meh. Rather be a graceless winner than a whiny loser.

I take great joy when my team wins. It's just a little bit sweeter when over a rival team.
