Sorry, BYE weekend for the Steelers and I forgot to put up a thread for you kids.
Steelers v. Vikings
This should be a good game. I have a fresh batch of homemade salsa, some taco meat simmering, and a 12 pack of diet root beer. Hampton jersey is on, Lily is rocking her Steelers collar, Tunch is perched on the couch in his game day spot.
It’s business time. GO STEELERS!
Saturday Open Thread
I see you all have been left alone and are getting restless. Sorry about that- I watched Monk (Sharona returned!) and then that new show White Collar last night, and just called it a night. I’ve been doing the various Saturday morning chores before gam eday and honestly forgot about the website for a change.
BTW- that new show White Collar is going to be a lot of fun, and once again, it reminded me of how many shows over the years I have really enjoyed from the USA netword:
Monk
Psych
Burn Notice
the Dead Zone
the 4400
Royal Pains
In Plain Sight
And on and on. You can add White Collar to the list. I don’t know if it is just a matter that I’m just the right demographic that USA is shooting for, but I seem to like an awful lot of their programming. Far more quality shows on USA than any other traditional network.
At any rate, I hope your team wins.
Way to Be, Jeff
According to the Associated Press, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Jeff Reed was cited by Pittsburgh police for public intoxication and disorderly conduct outside a bar Sunday night.
The episode occurred around 9 p.m., the AP reported, outside a bar a few blocks from Heinz Field, where Reed kicked two field goals as the Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns earlier Sunday.
Can’t we just put James Harrison in charge of driving Reed home from games?
Stillers Halftime Thread
Can someone please explain how that was a first and ten at the end of the half, because it sure as hell looks to me like the Browns got royally screwed there.
And the NFL has to do something about what is and is not a catch. Here on planet earth, if you catch the ball, tuck it in, both knees hit the ground, your ass hits the ground, your back hits the ground, you roll twice while maintaining possession, and then the ball comes out as you are getting up to celebrate three seconds later, it is a catch.
Stillers
Does anyone know whether Troy will play? These late game comebacks by awful teams give me heartburn.
***Update***
Cleveland should sue the NFL for whatever a field goal is worth in dollars, and settle out of court if they can give the ref who gave Pittsburgh that first down a swirlie. Complete bullshit.
***Update 2***
Let’s clarify what just happened. Cleveland intercepted the ball and then a few plays later lost the ball to a fumble. Then Pittsburgh fumbled, and then Cleveland fumbled and then Pittsburgh fumbled the ball again. Cleveland has it for now.
***Update 3***
Cleveland stadium just cued up Renegade. In case you follow such things.
