And My Voice Is Gone…The Recap!

The Steelers played like dogshit for all but about 15 seconds last night, but, oh, what a 15 seconds!
Can Ray-Ray possibly dance a little more after every tackle? It’s like he celebrates the freedom he doesn’t deserve with every play.

Welp, that’s a right fine rookie season you had, Rashard. We’ll, uh, soldier on with whatever running backs we can cobble together. Honestly, anyone out there wanna run behind that line? Carey Davis, too, isn’t long for this world.

And I fully expect this chart to be filled out by the end of the year. Glad that his injury avatar at least has wised up on the helmet thing. But who to help him with a needed quick release? Perhaps Poindexter here can lend his considerable wealth of knowledge.

Fouf, yes, Steelers fans still have a bit of a hang-up with the Patriots.

Heinz Field issues helmets and goggles to “special” Steelers fans- to prevent further cranial damage and biting.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:56 am
So they all get one huh?
September 30th, 2008 at 4:03 am
I think, at this point, I could be a running back for the Steelers. They’re going to burn through at least 15 this season.
September 30th, 2008 at 5:14 am
At this rate even Cedric Benson stands a fighting chance at a gig…
September 30th, 2008 at 6:57 am
not to quibble here, but weren’t the majority of the Steelers’ rings won when they were roiding like crazy? eh, i guess that’s just semantics.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:50 am
Stoolers fans biggest bunch of bandwagon fans there are….OH THE SKY IS FALLING! Cue to end of game and now they love the Steelers again. Losers
September 30th, 2008 at 7:51 am
Oh and tell Big Ben he looks like Karl Malden with that honker.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:19 am
So when your favorite team is playing like mud for most of the game you can’t be disappointed? And then if they turn it around at the end you can’t be happy? Does lil’ BT need a hug because one of his teams is eating dick this year?
September 30th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Is that a coffin lid behind Mendenhall?
September 30th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Now you know why Joey Porter acts the way he does.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:44 am
So Suzi, want to come over and watch “Chasing Amy” with me? Got the Criterion Collection and everything. Lots of extras.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:45 am
+1 to Hines Ward for that celebration
September 30th, 2008 at 8:53 am
“Pittsburgh Got 5 Rings Without Cheating”
True. They just needed the refs to hand them the last one.
September 30th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Yeah, Hines was all smiles last night. You know he has got to be one pain in the fuckin ass aggravating mother fucker to play against. he alrays smirre.
September 30th, 2008 at 9:15 am
“Pittsburgh Got 5 Rings Without Cheating”
Steve Courson disagrees.
September 30th, 2008 at 9:34 am
So when does the Dept of the Interior declare Heinz Field a federally protected wetland?
September 30th, 2008 at 9:42 am
“True. They just needed the refs to hand them the last one.”
Having the ‘Hawks drop every pass that they didn’t catch out of bounds helped.
September 30th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Glad you survived the game. Nice to see Holmes show up to play, anyway, even if my rookie crush Mendenhall is turning out to be a bigger bust than Crystal Pepsi. Will Hines Ward be stopping by at any point to offer Big Ben his advice on how NOT to look like a drunk sack of potatoes on stilts in the pocket?
September 30th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Wasn’t the entire NFL roiding up in the ’70s? Or was Lyle Alzado on the Pittsburgh practice squad?
Also, holding is still a penalty in the Super Bowl, as is offensive pass interference…regardless of what Mike Holmgren said while balancing a beach ball on his nose.
September 30th, 2008 at 10:05 am
@ Ball Soup: This is the time to quit the partisan politics and get Shaun Alexander suited up to fall down behind that offensive line.
And Rongrastname looks like he’s forgotten everything he’s learned about playing QB in the National Football League.
September 30th, 2008 at 10:11 am
that picture of Suzy screams “I want to kiss you”
and I would totally oblige
September 30th, 2008 at 10:28 am
When will ESPN continue their campaign to try to get TJ Duckett to be a Steeler. The Over/Under is now.
September 30th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Rate hit penarty make hines smirrrrre
September 30th, 2008 at 10:46 am
Guess steroids ain’t cheatin.
September 30th, 2008 at 11:23 am
In all fairness, steroids weren’t specifically against NFL rules until ‘83. So using steroids was no more “Cheating” than roughing up wide receivers all the way down field.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
The best poke in the eye for ‘Hawks fans would be to see Alexander in a Steelers jersey. Behind that line, he’ll probably last a quarter, but still.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Poke in the eye for ‘Hawks fans? Because Steelers hired cast-off Alexander?
That would be like me being insulted because you ate my shit.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Yeah, the refs sure handed the Steelers that last Super Bowl. Either that or Joey Porter made your rapist tight end his bitch, Holmgrem butchered his clock management, and Hasslebald choked.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Najeh Davenport’s back just in time to drop a deuce on Jacksonville.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Someone might want to tell that Steelers fan about anabolic steroids.
September 30th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
They’re not bandwagoners (most of them, anyway), but Steeler fans ARE the biggest homers in sports.
Exhibit A: KSK turning into LUV YA BLACK-N-GOLD YINZER IRN CITY GINT IGGLE BLORG every week after a Steelers win. Or loss. Or bye.
Although, to be fair, we all desperately, desperately care about the Steelers.
September 30th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
@johnny
The Steelers and Seahawks can both chug cock as far as I am concerned. I am just telling you what happened.
September 30th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
It’s always funny to hear ppl say the Steelers were handed the SB. Did the Steelers drop all those passes, commit all the dumb penaties or miss FG’s? Pittsburgh made plays, Seatlle didn’t.
September 30th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
the refs were not involved in willie’s 75 yard touchdown as well as El’s pass to hines ward.
sean “i just set the touchdown record, but i didnt score in the super bowl” alexander
questionable call with ben on the goal line, so tell me where you would spot that ball? you think that seattle would be able to stop the bus on 4th and short?

@futuremrs
wait and see. time is gonna tell exactly how successful crystal pepsi is.
October 1st, 2008 at 11:18 am
I liked Crystal Pepsi. :(

Yinzers suck and smell like pork rinds. Big Ben is a BIG DOUCHE
