Eagles Win; and Sunday Football

7 - 7 in the Chargers vs. Steelers game

I wasn't even going to watch. Knowing the game was in Pittsburgh, knowing they were favored, and knowing I'd see some 3-tooth fan waving a Terrible Towel just isn't my favorite pot of chili.

Yet, here I am, watching the game. Willie Parker is slicing and dicing like a knife infomercial at 4am. You always think, "I gotta get those", then you wake up with tortilla chip crumbs on your shirt and the faint taste of Whiskey in your mouth. Don't judge.

Beanie Wells has confirmed that he's going Pro, Tim Tebow has confirmed he's staying. Can't blame either of them. Being some sort of God on Florida's campus has its obvious perks.

Antonio Gates was just tackled by James Harrison. Kent State, what? I didn't go there, but I did visit quite a bit.

Mewelde Moore makes my blood boil. The guy was at home one day playing Wii and the Steelers called. After losing Mendenhall and Parker to injuries, he was back to the prime time. He's dominated. The Browns can't get that production from their 1st string RB's, let alone a FA.

Read Les Levine's article today. He also causes me to itch. Sometimes it's not fair, because I compare him to the great Hal Lebovitz, but he still irks me. He, however, is a fan of the Indians off season. I'm 50/50 on it. I sure hope it works. I'm going to Opening Day. Find me, buy me a beer.

3rd and 7, Steelers come up short. They line up for 4th down and are going for it. San Diego calls a timeout. Isn't it weird that San Diego was named for a Whale's vagina? Really, it was. Ask Ron Burgandy.

Since LT is out, hurt, I think Derrick Sproles favorite quote is, "I am a star. I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a star. I am a big, bright, shining star. That's right."

HOW ABOUT THOSE CAVS? Beating up on the Celtics, all while missing the big Z? Amazing game. We were riled up. Playoff atmosphere for sure. Write that down. I said it first, haha.

Phillip Rivers goes DEEP to Vincent Jackson. Steelers brought the house. It does look like the ball pops out a bit as it hits the ground. The crowd wants to trade in their Terrible Towels for Red Flags. So much Yellow and Black. It's like Kryptonite.

Little rhyming for you...

Has anyone seen the Cavs coach that looks like Dynomite? (See picture) Seriously, it's spitting image. Thumb didn't believe me on Friday.

Of course the call gets overturned. Boy, it must be nice to be a Steelers fan. Sure, it wasn't a catch, but how about a break here and there?

I just read a thing that said that before the 2008 Browns season, Romeo Crennel told his team that finishing 10-6 in 2007 was nothing to be proud of. If that's true, why did he get an extension? Somebody was smoking the funny tabacoo. I'm just saying...

I do love seeing NFL players get all fired up about making a routine tackle. When I leave a voicemail for someone tomorrow at work, I'm going to storm out of my office and start kicking my legs in the air, and scream so hard I spit 11 feet.

3rd and 2 for the Steelers, just shy of 6 minutes left in the first half. Fantastic tackle by the Chargers to hold him a few yards behind the line. FAKE PUNT!

Chargers stop them anyways. Woo-friggin-hoo! 162 towels just fluttered to the field.

Chargers get the ball inside the Steelers 50. Sproles gets stopped.

This games audio sounds great. "See this system here? This is Hi-Fi... high fidelity. What that means is that it's the highest quality fidelity." - Buck Swope

Buck's a quality guy.

Woodley is laying the hurt stick on the Chargers. 3rd and 12 here for the Chargers. Throws to Gates. They are surely in FG range.

I rented the movie with Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro. Kinda stoked to watch it tonight.

"Wait a minute. You come into my house, my party, to tell me about the future? That the future is tape, videotape, and not film? That it's amateurs and not professionals? I'm a filmmaker, which is why I will *never* make a movie on tape. "

Nice! But hey, you and I both know Tebow won't be takin' advantage of any perks that would be available to him ... being so religious and all. If he lived a lifestyle more along the lines of Leinart, he'd be eatin' it up!

Didn't know about his background. Oh well, I'll take over for him then! haha

How can you not know about his background, the media jams it down our throat every second they get.

BelieveLandBlogs said...

Well, because I said I had never heard about it. I have heard them talk about how great of a person he is and how spending time with him is like finding the Fountain of Youth, but never heard dude was super religious and didn't chase skirts.

It was a rhetorical question.
