Let’s go Steelers!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
They draw first blood, up 3-0.
UPDATE:
And that’s how it’s done. Troy Polamalu, who returns an interception for the clinching TD, is a Hall of Famer.
Steelers will be favored by what, 9 or 10 points in the Super Bowl?

I could go either way with this game. No dog in the fight.
Guess for tradition’s sake I’ll lean Steelers.
Shifting gears for those not as distracted by the game as I am:

You got ripped off on that first ref review, the receiver caught the ball out at the five and stretched for the end zone, broke the plane of the goal line but the zebras called it a “incompletion” because the ground jarred it loose.
What did they want him to do, tie a big red ribbon around the ball?
Uh oh, here comes B’more.

Every time there’s a pileup some Steeler comes out wobbling off to the sideline. If you remember the football game from the movie version of M.A.S.H somebody better check the Ravens for syringes.

Great professional football games.
Sweed drops a touchdown then jacks up Ivy.
Could go either way but Hines is out.

That last Steeler series was rather lame, a dropped TD pass and then letting the clock run out on the field goal try. Not to mention another blown call by the zebras, if that was roughing the kicker, then I am a Chinese woman.
Cardinals Super Bowl Champions?
Huh.

Geez, I just read the one sentence the writer was able to muster. Do we really want to talk about drawing first blood when it’s RL’s gang as the opponent. That’s the excuse that got him off the hook the first time I believe.

Well, Clark and McGahee will never be the same after that hit.

HEADLINE:Obama’s inauguration may cost nearly four times more than the next most expensive celebration.
Jay …. can you imagine the vitriolic editorials is this were the Republican?

Sorry Corporal - but your figures from Fox are not correct. Apples and oranges. The Obama inauguration is scheduled to cost about $150 million, compared with $40 million or so for Bush. So far so good, right? Here’s the difference - the figure for Bush didn’t include security… when that’s included the costs are much closer. And I’m sure that you would agree that increased security is essential during these times.

Jay B.,
Not bad. The Steelers opened as a 7 point favorite and quickly dropped to 6 1/2. Expect it to stay right in that neighborhood.

Sorry, but it came from Yahoo News not FOX ……… they take your points into account but read the whole article and the declared emergency costs, etc. ………….

P.S.
Slice it any way you want but it’s far more costly than any previous Inauguration.
1) In these hard economic times, that seems pretty darn wasteful.
2) If it were McCain you two would be all over it!

Has anybody heard any reports on the injured player that was carried away on a stretcher? It sounded like his neck was fractured. He was able to move his arms and legs so that was good news.

OK, so we realize it’s a little weird to say the least, so check out the headline for the column-

Well, the roads were awful clear this a.m. Must be because of all the morans heading to D.C. to watch the Worst President in History get swore in. I guess this is the last day I can hope for Trickle Down to work. It’s for sure this Obama will put a stop to it. I’m going to miss My President. He always talked like us rednecks talk. Which is one reason we always liked him so much. You got the feeling he could show up at your trailer door just about any time. This Obama talks like he’s reading from a pointy-headed book.
I watched that Steelers game yesterday, me and little Sonny Zell George and a couple bags of fried pork skins and a case of PBR. It looked like a 50-car pileup on I-75, what with all the players getting carted off or limping off the field. They need to start playing touch football so a whole bunch of players won’t get hurt. They pay them millions of bucks and then put them out there where they could be useless with one bad tackle. Or else just keep a couple ambulances on the sidelines with plenty of Drs. and such.
Anyhow, this is the first time I realized Sister Dusty is a football fan. It figures. She’s always kind of brutal to people she don’t like, including me and even the Immortal Soul of Captain Freedom. And she’s kind of built like a lineman.
Have a good day everybody.

I’m not this naive but wouldn’t it be something if he turns out to be more Conservative than Bushie was-
{{{{It is quite a moment. While Republicans are embracing Obama, Democrats are expressing skepticism. Harry Reid says he doesn’t “work for Obama.” David Obey called Obama a “crown prince.” Barbara Boxer insisted they weren’t “potted plants.” Barney Frank wants him to challenge Republicans—actually, Frank called it fighting the “savage beast.” Bill Nelson called Obama’s comments on the economy “mumbo jumbo.”-Weekly Standard}}}}

Apparently, the question of the day is, is PE Obama the biggest ultra-liberal in the universe or just a middling GOP-lite?
From his campaign rhetoric, it is very hard to figure out.
At any rate, DO NOT ask anyone who voted for GWB.
They have a hard time telling apples apart from oranges…

Arizona was picked to go down against Atlanta, Carolina and the Eagles. By double-digits. Your Steelers better watch out, Jay. Wasn’t it you who said Penn State would win the Rose Bowl? Goes to show that you are terrible at sports. Stick to writing love letters to Obama.

Thats what we republican are doing for the long time.Bush never did anything wrong .september 11 was clinton”s fault .liberal media is responsible for obama victory.liberals hate america.liberal want to kill unborn.taking God out of schools,and the worse crime is liberal love gay lesbians and mexican. Its time to look at facts. 1.bush.cheny.carl rove.rush limbaugh.ashcroft.bill o”reily and guliani,all of them were conviniently missing for the party called vietnam.As a matter of fact Bill Oreily once claimed to be in combat but got shot down by a LIBERAL caller on his radio show.He hates gays and lesbian but did not mind watching two woemen have sex. He got sued for that and paid over 3 million dollars.Our conservative leaders are so morally superior to Liberals that we never leave any oportunity to point out there shorcoming.We dont care if our leader want to have gay sex in bathroom,we dont mind if senator vetter is soliciting prostitutes.We dont mind if carl rove says right after sept.11 that liberls care about hijakers more than they care about american lives and we are going to make this an issue in election .WE dont mind if our republican representative is involve in phone sex with underage kids,we are just superior people because God say so. Wakeup smell the coffee,we are in trouble and it is our fault .Yes bush was the worse president and we will never let an ignorant incompetent group of people hurt us as they have.Republican party will be back if we decide to look inwards not blame everybody else for our problems,include people not exclude,otherwise we are ging to stay as a regional prty and ask to merge with KKK.and run around in the streets of suburbia with the biggeast confederate flag hoist on our trucks and shout “SOUTH IS GONNA RISE AGAIN”
