Brett Favre Finally Retires

Troy says…”Brett, please don’t retire, say it ain’t so”
I actually love Brett Favre, how can you not, unless you are a Vikings or Bears fan (Lions don’t count since, well, they don’t count). But seriously, I’m not sure I ever thought that Favre would actually retire.
Here’s what Ben Roethlisberger had to say on the passing [...]

Who Dey? Me Well Dey.

The pieces are beginning to fall into place. Without a huge excess of cap space this offseason the Steelers had to prioritize. Lock up Ben so that he can’t even begin to get emotionally hurt or start thinking about a future away from the 3 rivers and then, fill in the gaps.

Super Ad

Here’s Ben Roethlisberger’s shining moment during this year’s Super Bowl. Let’s hope he doesn’t have this much time on his hands in the coming seasons. And let’s also hope that he doesn’t become the next Peyton Manning of commercial fame.

Pro Bowl

I thought I liked the Pro Bowl. I don’t.
**While it’s nice to see the Steelers admirably represented in the game…I am nearly puking as I watch Ben Roethlisberger direct a TD drive by handing off to Fred Taylor and making passes, including the TD to TJ Whosyourmama. Eww, it’s just gross.

Random Links 02.04.08

Interesting “fan” report in ESPN the Magazine this week. They listed who the fans of each NFL team were rooting for in yesterday’s Super Bowl. The majority of fans from every team were pulling for the Giants. Interesting. Steelers came in second to only the Jets with 65% of our Pittsburgh fans rooting for the [...]
