IS IT KOOLAID???

IS IT KOOLAID???

By Swissvale72

Is it Koolaid to keep hope alive?  Is it Koolaid to believe in your team�s chances?  It is Koolaid to think, that just maybe�.should we take care of our business, that it can �happen�again?

Preamble:  Just got back from the Y, where I sometimes draw inspiration for the superfluous articles that I write, and where I go to repel, for as long as I can, the inevitable forces of gravity.  Speaking of gravity though, I ran headlong into the WSAD Celebration at the Nashua, New Hampshire YMCA.  Wet Saggy Ass Day�.my locker was surrounded by aged men with wet saggy asses.  Couldn�t wait to get the hell out of there.  In fact, there�s one guy�.has a haircut like the Sarge from Beetle Bailey�.stands at his locker naked every day, reading a paperback book�.stands there so long he makes the transition from WSD (Wet Saggy Ass) to DSD (Dry Saggy Ass).  Now, Wet Saggy Ass Day, is not necessarily a New England tradition, having its roots instead in the Mon Valley town of Donora.  Every November, was Awards Day at the Donora Y, where a team of judges from the swank 3^rd Street neighborhood, would first judge the best pumpkin pie, then choose the Wettest Saggiest Ass, both winners having their photos shot with the reigning racquetball champ.

Just a little history, for those of you that�re interested.

The Game:  I was waaaaay upset at around 4:15 yesterday.  In fact�.I was running back & forth between floors, Steelers on the playroom TV�.cable broadcast.  Idiot Ravens on the 1^st floor�on satellite.

What happened?? I knew that that Shithead Rob Bironas had no chance to hit that 43-yarder.  I was pleading with Jeff Fisher to allow Kerry Collins to put the ball up�.get it down to the 15�.use all remaining time�then kick.  Tell ya what�I DESPISE the New England Patriots, but should they ever meet the Ravens in the playoffs, I�ll be rooting for the Pats, whom I despise, but respect vs. the Ravens, who I despise�and loathe.

Anyway�..yesterday�s game�..few items of note�

FWP�the obvious�.monster game�.I said all off-season that this kid is much tougher than people were giving him credit for being.  Fast!!!  His second long run, which remember, directly followed the Ced Wilson drop�.he gets to the outside�I�m excited just thinking he�s going to get the first down!!  Away he goes!!

Nate�hopefully he improves�.old adage, though it�s obviously not this simple�is that a receiver gets 2 hands on the ball, he makes the catch.  Twice yesterday�..Nate didn�t come up with the ball under these circumstances.

Skippy�.WTF!!!....Every week now�ya miss a makeable FG�.too much time in the bathroom at the CF event!!

Tyrone Carter�.can�t cover, but the little shit sure can hit!!

Don�t like the similarities to �02�.consecutive home games, we surrender 31 points�..yes�.we had injuries in the secondary�..but waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much!!  Who the hell is Anthony Madison�.�nother Bama corner�.can�t even stand upright.  I think Deshea recruited him from the laundry room, where he was working on another Tide derivative�.or from the Bama toyroom, manufacturing those elephants that play the �Bama fight song.

Who's next, in the Steelers secondary.....Nancy Pelosi??
 

Weeks ahead:

Gotta believe, that should we run the table, go 10-6�.we�ll get the help we need.  And�.I�m starting to think that it may come in the form of a wildcard slot.  Both KC & Jax lost yesterday.  Look at the Jax schedule�.not easy�.bet they lose 7�.KC�I�m a little worried about�.not many road challenges�just San Diego�be rooting for Denver on Thanksgiving night.  Can�t believe that I�m bemoaning the Pats losing to the Jets yesterday.  Still�..would not be shocked to win out, grab the #6 slot�..open the playoffs�.at New England�.or�.at BALTIMORE!!

Not Koolaid�.not saying it will happen�..but hell�.what�s more fun�.for it to be mid-November, and still believe in your team�s chances, or pack it in early�..focus on next September??
