The best defense in he league didn't show up for the big game. 21 points usually would have been usually meant a decisive victory.

Still quite sore about the loss...the offense actually is not a pop-gun attack for once and what does the D do? Allow 29 points...

Polamalu's over turned interception was bizarre... but every game did have some perplexing calls.. It really didn't matter with the Pats, as they beat themselfs with turnovers. Thank god the steelers still won, as it would have been a shame to have the game decided on the overturned interception...
<=== Officially on the Steelers bandwagon...

That said, the better teams won this weekend, even if they were only better because they put it together when they needed to with the pressure on.

I'll agree that Pitt was definitely the better team and almost blew it, but I didnt see anything from Denver that proved they were any better than NE.

LOL, thats awesome. It is good that you can get her to watch sports with you. Its great when your gf likes the same team as you thats for sure.
My sister is the worst. She will be over on a random visit,......and all of a sudden is like,...WHO IS WINNING,....WHATS THE SCORE etc....in an excited way (this is usually for hockey though,...but whatever). I always call her on it,......she doesnt know who is playing,.....players,.....team names,....etc. She claims to "keep up" with what is going on, but that is just not the case. I just say GIVE ME A BREAK, and tell her to stop telling me stories haha. Then she starts asking stupid questions,.....

She calls the bears the bears, but thinks it's unforgivably stupid to just have a "C" on thier helmets instead of a picture of an actual bear. This is what I deal with.

I think both the teams defense were a letdown.

just got back from the night before, and the sorrows it brought. put simply; very pathetic. I'm not even going to start talking about it. I will say though, that this team will learn something from this, Rex Grossman sure as hell can play, and Bernard Berrian will (hopefully) maintain his awesome form through next season.
now i have to grind out the rest of this year, hearing shit from all my Sox friends who hate my baseball team more than they appreciate theirs
now i will cheer for the Steelers. 2 of my good friends are Steelers fans, 1 is a Colts fan. Boy did that man hear it last night

See now, I dunno if that expression counts as a smile.

It's almost like his upper lip started smiling, and his lower lip said "hey, that actually looks like a good time" but then his teeth decided to put an end to things before they got out of hand.

She went on for about 45 seconds until everyone in the room was just staring at her.
One thing that always made me laugh was how they would all cut up an attractive girl on tv,.......ex on Fear Factor. They would basically start going,......oh, look at me, I'm a dumb blonde with fake boobs etc. It was pretty funny how catty they would get over a TV show LOL,.........how do they know they are fake anyway.
Nice avatar AD btw.
ummm,.on topic,..........GO STEELERS
