I have a lot I want to talk about, but I am still sore from the beat-down Tom Brady, his mullet, and a bunch of no-name defensive players from the Patriots put on the Steelers last night.
I seriously hope the Steelers draft nothing but linemen and AJ Green.

Steel Curtain, my New England born-and-bred ass. See what a QB can do when he isn’t wrapped up in court cases?

C’mon Cole, you live in West Virginia so you gotta know that isn’t a mullet.

@Sean: That is a mullet. At the very least, a mullet in training.

I laughed my ass off when Brady ran a quarterback sneak into the endzone from the 3.

Packers? Man, you are fucked up from that beating.

New York may gain from Republicans in New Jersey, Ohio and Wisconsin refusing federal money to develop passenger rail systems. The three states’ rejection of the funding may benefit California, Florida and the Northeast, particularly New York, said Norman Mineta, a Democrat who served as transportation secretary under Republican President George W. Bush .

Can we talk about how awesome the new “Sherlock” is instead then? I’ve watched everytime they’re on PBS and last night streamed them all to watch again. Every time I watch I see or hear something new that I missed before and am finding them very funny and very riveting. Course it helps to be chock full of middle aged lady eye candy…I’m looking at you Benedict C., Martin F. and Rupert G.

That was ugly. It doesn’t help that our O-line and linebacking corps need a M*A*S*H unit and losing Hines Ward early sucked, but still.

The Steelers looked like shit pretty much top to bottom in that one. Because garbage time in that game was pretty much the entire second half, I got a shitload of fantasy points from Big Ben. So I had that going for me at least.

Except that Belichick has every draft pick for the first five rounds in his back pocket. That man is a hoarder when it comes to draft picks.
p.a.
I was happily surprised given the way the Pats looked against Cleveland. They just seem to match up well vs. the Steelers. I still think next week PManning kills them; they really have had trouble all year against the pass.
Hurtful motto a commenter at CHFF uses: You’re stuck in an elevator with a lion, a tiger and a Steelers fan. You only have 2 bullets. What do you do? Shoot the Steelers fan. Twice.

Brady is 6-1 against the Steelers. But it feels more like 12-1.

So, the latest wingnut outrage is that federal workers making more than $150k/year has doubled under Obama.
Nary a peep from the establishment Dems. It’s now been ingrained into the collective that liberals are bankrupting the country by overpaying people to stand around on construction sites. It’s no wonder our taxes are so high. Obama has to go. Cutting taxes (on the wealthy) should be our first priority, not paying off democratic voters.

My condolences Mr. Cole.
I’m just now recovering from the minor surprise of my Falcons beating the Ravens last Thursday. I knew they were good, just wasn’t sure if they were, beat the Ravens, good.
It’s a rough 3 hours when your team can’t get anything going AND not even slow down the other team. Everything starts to snowball, and before you know it, Justin Bieber Sr is spiking the ball in your endzone and talking shit to your fans.
And there’s not a damn thing they can do about it…
Take heart, in this year’s NFL, the Steelers still have the second best record in the league (*clears throat* behind the Falcons), and everything is still wide open. Hell, the Patriots got taken out to the woodshed by Cleveland last week for Pete’s sake!

I watched that game in a bar in Cincinnati, and the Steelers hate just overwhelmed the place (there were two drunk Browns fans sitting next to me, everyone else was a Bengals fan). Nobody really cares that much about the Steelers in New York, so it was fun to experience a Steelers game in a place where they are the Great Satan.
Even in New York, there’s no one team that consumes everyone with hate. Mets fans hate the Phillies, but Yankees fans don’t care. Yankees fans hate the Red Sox, but Mets fans don’t care. Same with Jets fans and the Patriots and Giants fans and the Cowboys.

Didn’t see the game and haven’t seen much of him other than that commercial. Did he lose the Justin Bieber/Fisher-Price toy ‘do he had earlier this year?

It is not a mullet anyway.
Though I am not sure what to say about a guy who does not make decisions about his own hair.
Oh. Yea. That would be married.

There’s also something funny about a Steelers fan making fun of Brady’s hair when you’ve got a safety who looks like the world’s biggest Chia pet.

Nah,
Next season, Pittsburgh should dress and field 11 men who can run, throw, and catch the ball, like Randel El in place of linemen. I mean, that strategy’s worked pretty well so far this season, hasn’t it?

Ain’t that the truth. Saw a blurb in the paper over the weekend where our Gov. to be wants to road trip to AZ and FL, where he plans to expound on the wisdom of various retirees moving back to WI (well, at least moving their money back to WI, since that’s all he really cares about). What retiree in their right (or even disturbed) mind would want to move back to the upper Midwest year ’round?
Thanks a lot, asshats, I’m really not looking forward to the next 4 years up here.

@MoeLarryAndJesus: Not to mention a quarterback who’s a twin for C.W.Moss from Bonnie and Clyde.

It was my fault, that game. I attended my first game at Heinz Field last night. It will be my last. On top of the shitty way the entire organization performed, I sat right next to and behind obnoxious Pats fans (oxymoron). It was sheer torture.

Well, linemen, and perhaps some nice guy with good hands to backup Hines Ward. And a nice guy with a good arm to replace Ben. Or a soccer player to replace Ben. Or
someoneanyone to replace Ben.
