  • I still don’t really understand how we ended up fumbling the ball so hard at the end of the season. One game Russel Wilson is throwing for 400+ yards, and the next, we’re being made to look foolish. Both QBs gone, and we bring back our old third string guy who’s more famous for getting beat with his own helmet more than anything else… We just went out and got another amazing WR, but got nobody to throw them the ball! Mike Williams, George Pickens, and now DK Metcalf, but who’s gonna give them the ball?? So many questions. This years draft is gonna be interesting.

    Just please for the love of god let aaron rodgers go somewhere else.








  • When I first got into the NFL, I was working as a short order cook in a breakfast spot in town. After the breakfast rush, we’d close up, and the other cook and I would sit at the bar, have some beers, and watch football. His team was the Steelers. I’d always mess with him by rooting for whatever team they were playing against, “Oooh, the eagles, eagles are the natural predator of the steel man, thus they will surely win.”

    After a while, I started to enjoy the games, because I was watching THE Steel Curtain in action, and by god is great defense thrilling.

    So despite living in Ohio, I started rooting for the Steelers, and thank god I did, because if I had gotten into the browns, I would still be cursed to follow them to this day.

    Thank you, Brendan.

    I mean seriously they had freaking Baker Mayfield and forced him out for a known rapist. Just unprecedented levels of dumbassery. It’s like the owner truly hates the city, and wants to watch them suffer.




  • No. He’s been the bedrock upon which our franchise operates. However, I’ve seen this time and time again, where it feels like we just let our foot off the gas towards the end of the season. We overlook what should be certain victories, and fail to rally for big games. We had some injuries on the O-line that hindered us, but it just feels like we’re using the same losing formula every year hoping that this time it’ll work. I think we need to use this draft to solidify our O-line, bring in some depth at Running back, get another legit WR to take the pressure off Pickens, and stick with Russel Wilson (at least for now).

    Our offense has been doing better since we got Arthur Smith, but he may be head coaching somewhere else next year. If that happens, oof. It’ll be another season of pain while we try to find our offensive footing.

    Thank goodness I’m also a Cleveland Cavaliers/ Ohio State Buckeyes fan. Can’t be too sad about one of my teams not doing well when my other two are wreaking havoc 😅


  • freaking 5 losses in a row to end the season for my steelers. I don’t know how we keep ending seasons like this, but it’s getting REAL old.

    I swear, it’s like we hit the threshold for getting into the playoffs, saw those last few games (against the Eagles, Chiefs, and Ravens), knew we could lose them and still make it, let our foot off the gas, and when it came time to hammer down, we just didn’t have it in us. Cam Heyward having an all-star season this far into his tenure does not deserve this kind of ending. I don’t know what needs to change, but man, SOMETHING does.


  • I grew up with an older brother whose birthday was exactly 5 years before mine. The dual birthday party was OK when we were little, but by the time I was in elementary school, all I wanted was to have my own special day, and not have to share it. This got even worse when I eventually married a woman whose birthday was ALSO on the same day, but that’s besides the point.

    What I really want to communicate is that each kid should get their own special day, don’t treat it like a parenting two-fer. They’re individuals and should be treated as such.

    As for the invitations, yeah say that it’s a joint birthday party, but that it’s not expected of them to bring gifts for both of your children.


  • I think the key will be Alex Highsmith, the edge-rusher opposite T.J. Watt, and how he lines up against the Eagles mobile quarterback in Jalen Hurts. Jalen gets out of the pocket, and can make stuff happen, but luckily, we’ve got one of the best run-defenses in the league to keep tabs on Saquan Barkley, which should make containing Hurts a (slightly) easier task.

    Russell Wilson is playing some great football, and has chemistry with his wide-outs. Last few games he’s been able to distribute the ball to like 9 different receivers, for some big chunk plays. If we get our best WR, Pickens, back and healthy for this game, then I think it’ll be a tight Steelers win. If not, then we may drop this one, but I imagine it’ll be a one-score game regardless.
