CLEANING OUT THE SPORTS ATTIC
�on my mind today
Was
Einstein, I�ve heard, that believed in not letting one�s mind get cluttered
with useless information.� Well, I must
be the anti-Einstein.� I know that my
brother TonyV15220, went to his first Steeler game
one week before his 18th birthday and that the Steelers lost to the
LA Rams, 26-14, know that the Cowboys beat the Steelers, 52-21, on the day of
my Confirmation in 1966�.but�.have to search madly to find my car keys each
& every morning.
Anyway,
maybe if I write some of this shit down, I�ll forget it, can free up useful
space within my own noggin, and life might be a tad easier to navigate.� Think so??
Ya know
what I hate?� I hate when baseball
season�s finally over, and talk show hosts keep talking about baseball.� Who gives a shit who
ARod will be playing for.� Sign with whoever
you want, Choke Artist, but do make Mike & Mike have to lead with that
shit�while I�m on my Nordic Track?� The
undying baseball season finally ends�let it die!!� Segues to�.
I really
don�t give a damn that Barry Bonds did steroids�..and now� he�s indicted.� Hey, I don�t like Bonds either, solely though
because he hit about one-fuckin�-twenty-five in three
playoff episodes for the Pittsburgh Pirates.�
I don�t care what he did for the San Francisco Homos.� And our court system has bigger fish to fry,
our national news has more important stories, and our President sure as hell has more vital issue to
comment on than this slugger getting bagged for lying.� Reminds me of Richard Nixon, speaking of
liars, declaring that
Steelers
going forward:� Contrary to a prediction
in a previous article, Steelers will� have no trouble with the Jets this
week.� They�ll also cruise by the
Dolphins in the following week�s Monday nighter.� I�m worried as hell though, about the Bengals game, and The Homo Carson Palmer, who now has Chris
Henry to throw to as well.� Say what you
want�but the Bengals O can still move the ball, can
still put points on the board. Would hate to be looking at an
odds-on two-game losing streak coming out of Foxboro on December 9th.� And consider this�.Steelers have lost to the Bengals in Heinz two years running, both of these losses
following Monday nighters for the Black &
Gold�.segues to�
Pats
schedule�.very interesting, Pats next game that starts in daylight in the awaited
December 9th contest.� The
Pats-Steelers tilt is preceded on the Pats schedule by a Monday nighter, in
Back to
Steelers schedule:� We�ll beat
So, best
guess�.13-3, or 12-4�.I think 13-3 gets us the #2-spot
and a first-round bye.� I think that the
Colts drop one more, but not two, even in their decimated state.� Tough luck, Dwight Freeney,
and as insensitive as this might sound, I�m glad you wound up on IR.� I�m hitching my wagon to the Pittsburgh
Steelers to derail the New England Express, and our path back to Foxboro in
January is rendered considerably easier without you chasing our QB�.or other
people�s QBs for that matter.
Tough for me yet to envision a Steeler win in
Foxboro on December 9th.� I�ll be in the house, along with TonyV15220�we couldn�t be so lucky.� And�.I�m starting to subscribe to the
completely unsubstantiated thinking that we can win in this place not more than
once in a given season, and ousting the 17-0 Pats in their own house, in
January, would be absolute fuckin� Nirvana!!� In any event, the prospect of a Steelers-Pats
AFCCG in Foxboro is coming into focus for me.
Let�s
see�.other stuff to empty out, and maybe I can remember to call for my Lipitor refill today? Nah�.can�t remember�..plus, it�s now
5:58am, and much as I like writing to you asshats,
Nordic Track is calling me�.like fighting beachfront erosion�.can�t stop this
process, can only hope to slow it down a bit.
Hey�didja notice�.only two fuckin�
F-bombs this time�.oops!!� Sorry�.
