Oct 21 Pittsburgh 8:15pm


I had totally decided to go in a different direction from the cheerleader heavy pictures, because I was crying a lot, knowing that no part of me was likely to ever be in any part of them, and I can't have people thinking I'm not not tough, so that's just unacceptable. Then I found the worst picture ever and went back to the cheerleaders. And this is a pretty awesome mixture of both. It also seems like an extremely unnecessary website, which means I probably like it. Finally, I have never been to Pittsburgh and I see no reason why I will ever go to Pittsburgh, so I'm pretty comfortable in saying that every woman in Pittsburgh probably still looks like that.

All of that was to distract you from the fact that I know fuck all about the Steelers. They've got a completely new coaching staff, so pretty much no one knows anything, especially about the defense. I've always thought a good coach adapted to the strengths of the players he had, rather than try and shoe horn them into your preferred system (ahem, I'm looking at you, West Coast Mike Vick), so we'll see what Mike Zimmer is all about.

They've still got the walking calamity QB, and Hines Ward, who's one of my favorite players, on offense, along with a fast as shit running game and a tight end named after a candy bar.

Defensively, who knows what to expect? A lot less Annoyingness, now that formerly-shot-in-the-ass Joey Porter is in Miami, and a lot of Ike Taylor getting passes completed on him (Ike Taylor, the Official All-Whammy Cornerback). They also feature Troy Polamalu, as long as he gets out of his other job as a roadie for Motorhead in time for training camp. I think they've still got Clark Haggans, formerly of Colorado's Second University, and Aaron Smith, who went to UNC and therefore will stab you in the thigh if you try and take his starting spot.

Right now, I just don't see enough weapons to compete with the formidable DAVID FUCKING TERRELL, so I'm going to call this a 5-1 start.
