Ah, I see the wingers are in full tizzy mode (actually their default mode) because El Rushbo has been dropped from the group looking to purchse the St. Louis Rams.
It’s all so unfair! And Limbaugh, of course, protests that he’s not racist, he’s never been racist…
It’s just that he has a looooooong history of saying […]

Casey the producer had sent me this bit yesterday, Deadspin’s take on the news that our old pal Rush Limbaugh is aiming to become part-owner of the St. Louis Rams. Best line:
I guess the team won’t be drafting any black quarterbacks from now on.
But St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bryan Burwell takes a far more serious […]

As a Steeler fan I will eternally hate the Dallas Cowboys - so this story warmed my evil little heart:
The new Cowboys Stadium has a seating capacity of 80,000, but that doesn’t include the potential 35,000 extra fans Jerry Jones would like to cram into his new glory hole via Party Passes. That’s 115,000 potential […]

Helluva piece. Long. Remember Todd Marinovich?

To those of us who enjoyed his football commentary as well as the vid games named for him, a sad day - John Madden retires.

This would be the “Pop Rocks.” Guitar Hero pays off.
Have a super Steeler Sunday, seeya next week.

Cardinals win, Larry Fitzgerald (who is on my fantasy playoff team - sweet!) is Godlike, Jake Delhomme five picks and a fumble, epic fail. And I have the Cardinals defense on my playoff fantasy team!
The weekend has begun well, and shall continue in that vein so long as the Steelers win. Have a quality Sunday.

Hm. Been following the saga of Plaxico Burress, the former Steeler and current (for now) New York Giants WR who managed to shoot himself in the leg with an unlicensed Glock over the weekend, and now has been suspended for four games. He could go to jail.
Sullivan picks up a quip that I think is […]

So as you obviously know by now, it was a heckuva game last night, unlike so many Super Bowls of yore. Because the Pats were undefeated and it all fell apart, last night goes down in the lengthening history of the Super Bowl, I think - up there with Namath and the Jets beating the […]

So I go into last night in fantasy football league #2 down by six points, still a chance to pull it out. I’m hoping Baltimore kicker Matt Stover can put some points on my board.
The other guy? Just the Steelers defense - as in the six sacks, three forced fumbles, one pick, just generally mop the […]

So last night was the first chance I’ve had this football season to sit down and watch the Steelers uninterrupted - the children in bed, my wife going through the Sunday circulars, me with a cold one from my new favorite thing in the entire world.
And then Ben Roethlisberger looked like the proverbial deer in […]

NFL season kicks off tonight… and the Fantasy season, as well. Somehow I managed to wind up with Vince Young in both leagues but will start him in neither (Eli Manning over him in one, Matt Hasselbeck gets the nod in the other). Okay RBs this year, good receivers… if I manage to climb out […]

Um…. ah… urk.
Meet the Pittsburgh Steelers’ new mascot. I’m not exactly being filled with confidence in the coming season here.

Footbal season, that is. You will likely have to put up with some ranting about the Pittsburgh Steelers around this place, particularly in that they have a new coach, at least one All-Pro veteran is not happy with the situation and no one seems to know what this season’s going to look like. Could get […]
