NFL week 15: Packers at Steelers
National public opinion is clearly behind the Packers with this one.
I would like to see the Steelers commit to the run, as they did in ye olde days. Sure the Packers have the #2 ranked rush defense right now -- that should not matter.
Also expect to see the Steelers getting some turnovers.

More Hot Stove
The news about the Pirates hardly making a Morris dime depresses me. Not what I wanted to learn. I was holding out a feeble candle of hope for the theory that they were making it hand over fist--and socking the dough away to fund a forthcoming dynasty. Hey, a guy can dream.
I am not sure what will happen to baseball over the next few decades, but if the Pirates string together another ten losing seasons, or lose in eight or nine of the next ten, then it's going to be very hard to explain how it makes sense to field or support the Washington Generals year after year. It's already hard to explain. Things do not appear to be getting better. Even if the front office has incredible luck making trades and developing talent, there's not much hope for regular winning seasons if they can never pay competitive salaries.

Dollar bills
Frank and Bob show Dejan the money. Over the past two years, the Bucs have made barely enough money to employ Matt Morris for a year.

NFL week 13: Raiders at Steelers
Hell unleashed starting now.

Hot Stove
I was briefly amused to read that the coach told Ed Bouchette they would "unleash hell" in December.
Otherwise I have not been entertained.
Time to gather round the stove with a candle in it and a transparent door.

NFL week 12: Steelers at Ravens
Dennis Dixon Era kicks off tonight. If I'm Tomlin, I lean heavily on Dixon's fake Statue of Liberty when the game gets close.

Tracy wins, bloviates, still intrigued
“What we’re talking about this afternoon, it’s probably as flattering an experience as I’ve come to realize during the course of my professional career in athletics,” Tracy said. “And obviously a new contract is extremely exciting. But what is more intriguing for me is what is still out there for our ballclub.”

NFL week 10: Bengals at Steelers
Steelers down 6-3 in the first. Not much tackling on special teams so far.

Dock Ellis movie
Dock Ellis & the LSD No-No by James Blagden.
He even worked in the green weenie. Bravo.

NFL week 9: Steelers at Broncos
Should be a tough spot for the Steelers.
I am curious to see if they will make tackles on special teams. Also wondering if Mendenhall can protect the ball.

Iwamura
Jesse Chavez and his Upside traded to the Rays for playoff-minded Akinori Iwamura. Dejan breaks down some of the fallout. Still not clear if Gerut's expensive knee brace can be recycled.

NFL week 8: Steelers on bye
Some pretty good games this week.

NFL week 7: Vikings at Steelers
Should be a good one on Sunday.
That last comment thread got so big, I thought maybe we should start the new one early.

NFL Week 6: Browns at Steelers
That was not a pretty win. Steelers appear to have all kinds of problems.

Respect the Towel
Sean Leahy notes for the USA Today that the Titans have not won since the infamous descration.
In other news, Aaron Smith to the IR looks like a wise decision to me. Get well Aaron.

Did you guys know Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?

Please describe what weirdness, if any, you feel in this week without baseball, 2009 Pirates-style.
