For all the readers who hate my onslaught of homerism on KSK and want to see me get my comeuppance, today may be your lucky day. Because there is no ending to the Steelers season that could be more embarrassing and soul-crushing than losing a fourth straight AFC Title Game at home to the shithead Ravens. 0-16 wouldn’t be as bad. Losing the Super Bowl, while immensely disappointing and painful, wouldn’t be as bad. Ravens fans can explain a loss away by saying where they got was a lot further than a rookie quarterback and a rookie head coach should have taken them. Steelers fans have no such fallback. Well, they can always complain that that Palamuuluu guy wasn’t totally healthy.
But with great risk comes great reward. The Steelers can go 3-0 this season over a hated rival and 2-0 against them in the playoffs. For all the talk of how promising Flacco looks, Ray-Ray, Terrell Suggs and Bart Scott are all free agents this year. Their best receiver, Derrick Mason, turned 35 yesterday (Why weren’t Ravens fans celebrating his birthday? Quick guess: He’s not white). This could be the Ravens’ best chance for a while.
I’d love to be here to live blog it for you (that’s a lie) but I have to brave the crowds in D.C. to hit the bar on the Hill. So enjoy the bloodbath in open thread form. And, hey, the only home win in an AFC Championship Game in the Cowher era did come against a Harbaugh brother.
Why is Phil Simms the only guy in that booth still doing the headline games?

joe is cute but nick is HOT i like nick j more than you so put it in a jucie box and suck it
Wait, you mean the game where Kordell Stewart caught a pass after running out of bounds on his own and running back in again?
Yeah, that really counted as an “honest win.”
On the other hand, had the Colts gone to the Super Bowl that year we probably wouldn’t have wound up with Manning a couple years later.
Phil Simms and those Refs can smoke my big fat cock… I know you all hate the Steelers. So much so that it must be advancing your status both personally and prefessionally somehow, but you have to admit that the game atrociously officiated and called the way only Simms can call it…
@:chris johnson as a second language
That would be Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Maybe Tomlin could shank Wisenhunt pregame over who sucked whose dick for the stealers job. That could work. Or maybe every stealer fan could profess that they are the greatest fans ever and wave their stupid yellow towels all fucking day long while cardinal fans can say how warner is a hall of famer even though most of them didn’t even realise they had a football team three weeks ago. And yes this is just a bitter rant so fuck off!
how does ed reed fit his chinstrap over that ratty beard
Oh man, I love those cats (for example: everyone I work with, my family) that don’t follow sports but watch the Super Bowl – crying out for ‘pass interference’ on every passing play ’cause it’s the only penalty they know~
It’s like people who watch the World Series and say stuff like ‘look at that sinkerball!’ at a change-up. Good times!
Hey, hey, I see Bill Simmons posted above! Billy, you been reading this site? Take notes.
Shocked that a certain caveman isn’t in here being whiney…
Matt — that’s called getting your shit pushed in too far. Take a few aspirin and call me in the morning.
XOXO,
Matt Hasselfail, QB, Seattle Sucks
(Hey, we share the same douchebag name!! Yay!)
@seahawk matt:
you could act like the superbowl isnt happening and proceed to anticipation of the draft?you guys should be picking fairly high up this year! Lots to be excited about!
@seahawk Matt:
I’ll be rooting for great commercials to talk about at the water cooler next Monday. Wait? Two weeks? Jeez, it is always so long before the Superbowls?
Cardinals vs the fucking stealers!!?? Who the fuck am I suppose to root for? My head is hurting just thinking about it! I think I’m gonna puke
Sal, didja ever in a million years think that we could get both games right? We’re so awesome.
don’t let the kicker kick you in the head Arizona. They’ll call you for roughing the kicker.
Einhorn is Akers……Akers is Einhorn…
Boycott ChristmasApe week starts now.
This is the worst SuperBowl.
Cardinals are fucked. The refs will give the Steelers another Super Bowl.
Christ, I had no idea what hosting a liveblogkkake entailed, much respect for the gay mafia. If they don’t do a super bowl blog then you know where to find me. Good times tonight, prepare for an Ape vs. Leitch FlaWa for the next two weeks.

Dirty hit?
You’re a pussy.”
What do you get when you mix a dirtbag city with a good football franchise? Steelers fans.
@2 port
solid!drawing a goddamn blank tho! what movie?
Maybe his voice is hoarse from yelling, but that sounded like Tomlin just thugged it up a bit for that
Hey haters, YOU ARE THE ONES WHO ARE THE BALL-LICKERS!!!!!
+at least 100 WWPJD
thanks for making that game tolerable. you might be needed in two weeks as well if KSK wont do the Liveblogkakke
@SKC
Howie Long- So Willis,thats a nice cart youre riding on. If you like fucking men. Whats that? a neckbrace? looks like a huge Maxi Pad to me.
big ups to WWPJD. nicely done.
I expect a quiet week from the people who like to troll Ape.
Even getting the benefit of the calls and some horrendous mistakes by the Steelers, the Ravens still are the Ravens and have no offense. Flacco is incredible!
Well, that was incredibly soul sucking.
No question, though. Clean win. Congrats to the Steelers. Good luck with Jesus Warner in two weeks.
longest game everkakke is finally over. Super Bowl 43- A sunday of indifference
Dirty hit?
You’re a pussy.
Ray Ray is upset about this loss. Sheeeeeeeit
It was a dirty hit.
What the fuck is Sims talking about? No such thing as helmet to helmet when you’re tackling a ball carrier? Bullshit! He led with his shoulders? What the fuck? He led with his fucking head!
I really thought we would go all season without seeing this…
I hope McGahee’s okay… that guy’s got seven families to think about
Ryan Clark just committed a murder-suicide
Steelers are fags.
“Hele re go Steerels,Hele re go”
KSK doesn’t care if you cheat on her with another liveblog, as long as you come home.
liveblog back up!
It sounded like Windows was making his comp restart.
Blame Microsoft. And the Jonas Brothers.
/Fuck those guys
Over here for a bit til the live blog starts again?
WWPJD:what a rude and abrupt ending
MY REG! MY REG! MY REG! MY REG! MY REG!
OH MY REG! IT HURT! IT HURT!
LAVEN PRAYEL, YOU BIG ASSHORE!
NO SMIRRE! NO SMIRRE!
OH MY REG!
Best line of the halftime show from Marino: “Baltimore’s seconday is a little banged up”.
Corrected comment: “Baltimore’s secondary now only exists in theory”.
Only way Baltimore pulls out a win? Go Untouchables. They put one of our corners on the bench? We put their Quarterback on the stretcher.
That’s the Baltimore way.
And why the frag did Katie Couric cut her hair off again?
Hines Wald…
Hult knee.
No smirre.
Doesn’t matter at this point though. You couldn’t pull a TD out of Bert Flacco’s ass with a toe truck right now..
Live blog at WWPJD’s pad.

Ballgame.
Good Nieuws! Everyone in China knows that! Good nieuws!
13-0.
This isn’t going very well.
Why isn’t Paul McGuire dead?
…And they’re warming up Byron Leftwich…
I’m sure he’ll do fine against the Ravens. Right?
At least if they lose with Leftwich they have a little bit of an excuse.
i love how the Ravens just forgot Mcgahee sucks and Mclain is a pretty solid 3rd down back
Satchel Paige warming up in the pen.
+1000 for giving us Clay Davis’ campaign poster. That needs to be available for purchase!

Blimp! Blimp! Blimp!
Also, haha!, fuck the Eagles.
Liveblogging going on in my house. Everyone but Ape is invited!
So is that it for Reid and McNabb?
And yes, the Arizona Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl = change you can believe in!

God must be pleased.
