Football. Is. Back. For. Real. Games that COUNT. First up.for the Steelers? The Ravens.

The Hair is healthy. When he is healthy...yeah...

I know folks are talking about his back....If he can walk, he will play. Well. 

Both guys in the picture will hopefully get their share of the rock.

This WHOLE UNIT. We need 'em to play well. Period. Hopefully they set the tone.
Very ready to see the Steelers play the Ravens. I know that for some, this game is a BIG deal. This game is one game though. If we win it, we don't get an automatic bid to the playoffs and if we lose it, we aren't out. One game at a time. This is the first one.




Mike Wallace. I imagine him and Jimmy will be locked up with each other. @ the Ravens rookie

I was going to write this LONG WRITE UP about the Steelers win last nigh...@Inkognegro did it for me...

Good cop, as he is known in our Internet circle to my Bad cop, was ON FIRE WITH HIS POST GAME RANT. It seems some Ravens fans (or just fans of not being a fan of the Steelers) took things a TAD BIT TOO FAR. So in true intellectual fashion, GOOD COP broke out the facts...Which as we all know, sting like a mofo. I will give you the tweets in order so you can see what I mean but first.....



You see last night you saw why I affectionately refer to Baltimore as our 'little brother'. Yes, they beat us before. They have given us a tough game or two when they haven't beaten us. Here is the thing though....THEY HAVE NEVER BEATEN US WHEN IT COUNTED. When it is 'true' winning time, we win. Period. Fluke plays be dammed. Bad effort be damm. We win. They are made in our mold. Make no mistake about it. They have a HOF linebacker in Ray Ray...They are physical. They are tough. They have a mouth piece (T.Sizzle). A helluva a running back (Rice). Young qb.....They are also our little brothers. Period. Yes they own a chip. Happy for them too. We have SIX OF THOSE THINGS THOUGH. Remember that....Be RESPECTFUL when you come talking about the Steelers. Or you get a history lesson like the one I am about to lay out for you that was given by my man DP....I see why ya'll hate us though. I'd hate us too...@ the facts. We don't hate you though. Too busy loving our team. Ya dig?

CLICK ON THE TWEETS TO ENLARGE THEM....






Well I think that pretty much covers that.......

He needs to have a good game (not great but good) for us to win...Rashard Mendenhall...

Forget whether or not Ben's foot is 'broken' (shoutout to the cat that called in on the Rob Long Show in Baltimore and questioned whether one could play with a broken foot or not...John Hopkins is up the street fam. Go ask someone up there...lol)....

Mendy can't have 5 carries for 15 yards. He doesn't need to run for a buck fifty but he will need to do something!

That is all...for now...I may come back with more. I rarely talk about the game before it 'cause truthfully all I would be doing is 'speculating' like all the other blogs and shows. I hate doing that honestly. I do know that we need Mendy. In some capacity. Should be a GOOD GAME. See, I don't 'hate' the Ravens. I just want us to beat them. I am not expecting that to be reciprocated btw...lol

I would be hard pressed to care any less..- Mike Tomlin paraphrased

Anquan Boldin speaks on the Jets game and the team's demeanor...Jim Rome

Good stuff from Jim Rome. Say what you want about him, he gets that information and he shares it. Gotta respect that. He speaks on Cromartie.

Jim Rome- Is he (Cromartie) a great cover?

Anquan Boldin- He is a GREAT TALENT....

Notice what he DIDN'T SAY...LOL


They put a ROOKIE ON Anquan was disrespectful..IMO...

Donte Stallworth on Jim Rome yesterday...




In case you forgot or just flat out didn't know...As you can see, he is back down Miami Beach..@ the background..

Well gentleman, you had a helluva first day- Viper in Top Gun @ NFL Free Agency.



I am not telling you these moves 'cause you DON'T KNOW THEM. If you are a football fan, you ALREADY KNOW THE INFORMATION. So please don't take this as a 'Who does he think he is updating me like I don't have a TV or some shit' thing. It is not.

What it is though is a special 'shoutout' to some people who I know have a vested interest (aka they are fans of these teams and players) in said moves. That is all. You know who you are. I gotta hollar your name too?- DMX No. I don't.


Lets start with my team's conference rival. The BALTIMORE RAVENS. See, I am not disrespectful of the Ravens in anyway. If I wasn't a Steelers fan, I would probably REALLY dig them. Matter of fact, when they don't play us, I enjoy watching them. Alas, they are a rival so I can't like 'em too much. lol The addition of Anquan Boldin is PRETTY BIG FOR THEM. They have not had a REAL receiver to me since Shannon Sharpe. Yes, I said the TIGHT END Shannon Sharpe. They needed to do that. Hell, I wonder if T.O has enough sense to take a massive pay cut and STILL COME TO B-More anyway. That would make them pretty damm formidable. They are now as is with Mason and Boldin. Only question I have for the Ravens fans is this. Is that young man healthy? When healthy, he is a BEAST. When not, he is not effective. I heard that you. "Well, when anyone is healthy they are effective.." No. My team happens to own a VERY BANGED UP PLAYER who still produces when hurt. His name is Hines Ward. You know him well. So this is NOT TRUE. I am not saying Anquan WON'T PLAY HURT. I don't know that. What I do know is that he was not allowed to play hurt. Steve Breaston just got the biggest confidence boost ever out there in Arizona. Too bad Matt Leinart is their quarterback. Hope you have been paying attention Matt.


Julius Peppers, Chester Taylor and former San Diego Chargers tight end Brandon Manumaleuna to the Bears.

This is not a bad addition for the Bears to me for several reasons. Another target for Cutler if they want to run double TE sets. I am assuming that this spells the end for Desmond Clark in Chi-town.

Matt Forte can't do it alone so Chester will help there. I liked Georgia Southern's Adrian 'The Other AP' Peterson though. I will say that this is an upgrade though. I think that Forte can learn a lot from Chester and Chester isn't as 'old' of a back as most his age. He was pretty much a VERY GOOD backup for most of his career.

Pep? Nothing to say about Pep. He speaks for himself. They have no rush right now. Well, they didn't. They do now though. lol

Karlos Dansby to Miami was a done deal as soon as he flew out there to me. The Cards let him go shopping and I felt like he took it as a slight. He fits down there with the rest of the young linebackers. Now the Dolphins can draft a WR or two and address some other areas in the defense.

The Falcons may be making strides to replace DeAngelo Hall. 'Cause they have had NO DBS since that man has been gone. Dunta Robinson going back home to Atlanta is not a surprise.

Dear New York Jets fans,

Cromartie can't cover. He can CATCH AND RUN THE BALL but he can't tackle and he can't cover. I actually like him though. So it is not a diss. He has the intangibles. Height. Range. Speed. He needs to focus. This isn't Madden. He is gonna get picked on. Often. Especially with Revis on the other side. (Who is gonna suffer himself from League rules, watch. They are gonna change that Lester Haynes shit he is doing to receivers. Or lighten the rules for the receivers.I can't WAIT FOR HIM to tangle with Hines. He is gonna get put on his ass if Hines is still physically capable of playing, which he should be.)

Antrell Rolle's signing by the Giants is insurance for Kenny Phillips but imagine if Phillips comes back? They would have a HELLUVA defensive backfield.

I might actually play with the Lions during a draftable season in my league on Madden. @ Nate Burleson going to team with Calvin Johnson. On the field, this is GREAT news for Calvin. Finally he can stop getting 'boxed and one'd' out there. 'Cause he is truly their only threat. Or was.


T.J Whosyourmama and Brandon Marshall? Wow. Can Brandon tone down his act though. The shit is getting old. @ the immaturity. Play football young man. Just play football. You are pretty fucking good at it after all.
