Pittsburgher, Penn Stater, Reese and Piper's Dad. I will hopefully do less whining about the Pens, Steelers, and Arsenal than I did at the old place. But there will be SOME whining, oh yes.

If Tampa manages to lose this game Todd Bowles is getting fired, so there's another reason to kick the FG and pretty much lock down the game.

There's a logic to going for 2pts down 14. There's no logic to not kicking the chip-shot FG and going up three scores with 8 minutes left.

He also played when the Steelers were going back and forth between Bradshaw/Gilliam/Hanratty which probably didn't help develop rapport. And then the Steelers had Franco and Bleier racking up yards, there's only so much ball to go around.

I remember him being good for the Steelers, but stuck behind Swann & Stallworth. He wore 43, which was cool for a WR back then. I also remember us getting Seymour in exchange and then he failed his physical and...that was the end of it. Odd that we gave up on a former 1st rounder who was good!

There's a ton of great stuff in S2 but, yeah, so much of it is bad. And if you gave me gun with two bullets and locked me in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Dick Tremayne, I would shoot Dick Tremanyne twice.

“Sherlock”. First couple of seasons were great (a bit uneven at times but great) and then after that was absolute dreck.

I understand this is a season of flux with kids going in and out and a new regime, but Campbell was supposed to eliminate the timidity and brain farts that defined the Franklin Era. That, uh, hasn't happened. At all.

That's gotta weigh on serial killers--you can only kill so many people. You're a killer. You've killed before and will do so again. You LOVE to kill. But you can't kill EVERYBODY YOU WANT TO KILL. You're disposing of a corpse and thinking, "This should be Dave, why didn't I kill DAVE??"

As I Steeler fan I welcome you putting such a cast-iron JINX on the Ravens RB. I now expect a bus to hit Derrick Henry, or a meteor to streak out of the sky and smash him in the back. True, neither would even slow him down but they might give him a bit of a limp.

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit treating Deshaun Watson like any other QB, and nary a mention of two dozen sexual assault allegations as part of an already disgusting “redemption” arc they’ve spent all night trying to weave is really gross.

Was at the Steelers-Browns playoff game in 2002 (great Steeler comeback victory) and when the Browns were up a big group of their fans in the upper deck were incessently banging on the metal section signs. There were discussions of MURDERING them but Tommy Maddux saved them.

I'd think those players (and PL players in general) would want City to be forced to honor the financial commitments made in those contracts. If you're Elliott Anderson making $300K a week and suddenly City says, "You're a free agent," he's gonna be like, "Uh, no, see this contract? I like it fine."

Went to SF about 20 years ago (wait, that can’t be right…) and had the cioppino at Tadich Grill. Remember it to this day, especially dunking that garlic bread in the broth. We just ended up there kind of by accident, and ended going back a second time on that trip.

I hope the opening is a dramatic recreation of the Immaculate Reception. We see the play from different angles, at different speeds, Al Davis enraged, Madden devastated, the Raider locker room funereal as Three Rivers thunders in celebration around them. And then, y'know, it goes from there.

With everyone posting their NYT Top 10 TV shows of the century I figured I'd join the masses. I didn't include the shows EVERYONE listed (Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Wire, GoT, etc) and went with ten fantastic shows that everyone should watch because they spark joy.
My NYT Top Ten shows--It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Archer, Hannibal, The Venture Bros, Reno 911, The Great, The Young Pope, What We Do in the Shadows, Review, and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

That was #Arsenal being quite bad and Brighton being excellent. We looked jaded and exhausted, which is odd so early in the season, and Brighton were indeed bright, in all facets. A splash of ice cold water, and will hopefully have that effect.
