Talkin' Playoff Blues

Cincy sucks – good thing they're great at flopping in the playoffs.

New England can die – nothing better than seeing Brady go home in tears.

Baltimore is a rubbish pile – can't wait to watch them lose.

Every other team – don't care, don't care, don't care.

Steelers are still better than the Browns. Why? Because Cleveland sucks. See you in the fall bitches.

A man goes to the Pittsburgh Steelers ticket office and inquires about purchasing play-off tickets. The ticket teller replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because the Steelers did not make it to the play-offs.

The following day the same man goes to the Pittsburgh Steelers ticket office and inquires about purchasing Steelers play-off tickets. The ticket teller politely replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because the Steelers did not make it to the play-offs.

This goes on for an entire week. The man goes to the Steelers ticket office inquiring about play-off tickets and the teller says none are for sale because the Steelers did not make it to the play-offs.

Another week of this goes by and the man still is asking the ticket teller about Steelers play-off tickets.
Finally the ticket teller in a loud voice says, "I'VE TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS THERE WERE NOT ANY TICKETS AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE STEELERS DID NOT MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS!"

"I know," the man replied, "I drive all the way from Cleveland just to hear you say that!"

Is God a Steeler a fan?

Let's hope. Because we sure need him tonight.

Dennis Dixon - 1st String Steelers QB

Tyler Palko - 2nd String Steelers Quarterback

Ah, the Burgh...

Another reason to love Chick-fil-A

Go Steelers!

Monday Night is Back

Obama's in the White House. (check)

Conan is on at 11:30pm. (check)

And Tedy Bruschi is on SportsCenter? (wtf!?)

So the NFL is back and so is Tom Brady and company. I believe ESPN told me that tonight was the first game that Brady has finished in over 500-some days. Did anyone else see the end of the fourth quarter? He's back and he's out of control. He's also still a cunt and should be thankful that him and his squad of cheaters aren't coming through the Burgh this season. Although it would be nice to remind them who the six-time Super Bowl champs are. I guess we'll just have to wait until after Christmas. In the mean time, guess who else sucks? Yep, you guessed it, Phil fucking Rivers. We'll see that clown in a few weeks. Anyway, my thoughts go out to all Bills and Raiders fans tonight. Your teams both played extraordinary football and gained a temporary fan for the evening.

Pittsburgh in the windy city next week. Also my return to LA's finest Steeler Bar, 90 West Lounge. Go Steelers!

Birds Of Steel

From today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Ed Bouchette writes:

Now another AFC championship game comes to Pittsburgh. The Steelers lost two previous games at Heinz Field to the Patriots after the 2001 and 2004 seasons. They also lost two out of three title games in Three Rivers Stadium in the 1990s.

As Tomlin said yesterday, though, "This is the story of the 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers."

They, not history, will get to write their own ending.

Steelers/Ravens. AFC Championship. Sunday. 6:30pm in the Burgh.

We're From The Burgh

Those jaggoff's from right south of us head to Pittsburgh today for the AFC Divisional Playoff where they will face 65,000 terrible towels, 23 degrees and of course the best defense in all the land. Rumors are that Troy Polamalu hasn't stopped running in two weeks and that Ben Roethlisberger and Heinz Ward have been practicing fade routes all around the steel city. Yesterday Ward was spotted making a diving catch from one side of the Ohio River to the other. Amazing.

With a win today the Steelers will head to the AFC Championship where they will face the not-so-popular Baltimore Ravens and some jag named Flacco. It's obviously one game at a time, but knowing that those dickheads may be right around the corner feels pretty good. And with a possible McNabb win today we may be looking at a Pennsylvania Super Bowl. Oh baby does that sound good. I heard McNabb loves eating turf. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Today is San Diego. A bag full of suck that loves to lose. Go Steelers!
