BAIL BONDS, SUSHI & JPEEZY
....and I don�t care about being �right�
By Swissvale72
Okay�.haven�t written an article for awhile�..been in a bit of a hibernation. It was only after watching a show on �Animal Network� (see�I really am a balanced, well-rounded�maybe just rounded�.individual) that I knew that animals really went to sleep, body temp. dropped, etc., while hibernating.
Anyway�I haven�t written for awhile, subscribing to the belief that it�s best to Shut the Fuck Up when I have nothing meaningful to say. Of course, the majority of the readership may well feel that I should Shut the Fuck Up especially when I have something meaningful to say, or may feel that I never have anything meaningful to say, therefore Shutting the Fuck Up should be my permanent condition. Ay�.maybe I should Shut the Fuck Up about Shutting the Fuck Up??
Was in
JPeezy�.first with all due respect to my friend Mill, and also to CK�.I�ll use a Peezy term�..�I�m tired�.makes me tired��.all this self-congratulatory bullshit about being �RIGHT.� Then�.there are so very many posters on this site, who, replete with rolling smilies, etc�..place more emphasis on being right than on SBI (Steelers Best Interest). Examples: �I was RIGHT about Duce�.fuck you all.� �I own you�I�m always right.� �I was right about Plaxico, right about Bettis, right about Cowher, now right about Peezy.�
WHO THE FUCK GIVES A SHIT IF YOU�RE RIGHT!!!
Me�I�m more inclined to let you know when I�ve been wrong. Of course, I�m wrong a whole lot more than I�m right, so that makes it easy to do. I had a good streak of being right with Steelers� #1 draft choices from 1969-1972�.even getting #1 & #2 right in �71�but�ain�t been right about much since.
Okay�.that said�.and I bantered back & forth with Mill about this last year�.
Similar to how Alabama doesn�t apologize for beating Florida International, and Penn State doesn�t apologize for trouncing Temple�..Joey Porter can only beat the guy who�s assigned to block him�if nobody blocks him, well, Joey can�t help that�.can he?
Last year�s Indy Playoff game�.only showing up in the last 2 minutes?? Sorry�haven�t watched that tape lately, but I remember Joey putting heat on Manning much earlier�.and often. Joey�s fumble �causing sack in 1Q against
One of my stillers.com colleagues 44 today asked me��What�s the guy�s name on Mike & Mike?� After establishing that his name was Mike, said poster described that Mike was shocked that Peezy had been cut. Let�s get one thing straight�.a guy getting cut, particularly one of Peezy�s status, is almost never all about their diminished ability, but rather about cap implications, contract negotiations, etc. Was reported today in PG, PFT, etc�.this situation was headed for a standoff in training camp. Peezy wanted a big payday�wasn�t happening with the Steelers. Had they thought he�d report to camp, play out his final year, had they been able to renegotiate for a more palatable number, perhaps Peezy would still be wearing #55 for the B&G (oh�.and how many of you are owners of jerseys with #55 Porter on the back�.what do with them now?). Peezy had been sliding, no question��don�t think Peezy thought so though, and thus the stalemate, and the decision to let him go. Like other Steelers that have moved on, I�m hoping that Peezy now toils in mediocrity for the balance of his career.
Wish I could remember the poster, and it wasn�t an original line, but he said last year�.�Joey�s mouth writes checks that his ass can�t cash.� True statement. Mill called him �Joey the Mouth.� And he was never short of inflammatory words; that�s for sure.
Think about it though�..and I�m not making a statement of causality here. Indy Playoff game�..Peezy says that Indy�s soft�.firestorm over that. Steelers come out as ready to play as we�ve ever seen them, kicks Indy�s ass most of the game. SB XL��gets into it with Jeremy Stephens. Stephens fucks up big-time!! Had Stephens caught the balls that he had 2 hands on, Steelers could well still be looking for that One for the Thumb! Joey�s mouth didn�t� win us those games�..but might it have helped�just maybe??
I�m not surprised with this decision, and I generally trust the Steelers FO to know what the fuck they�re doing. I really think they looked down the road, and saw a situation come training camp that could have a divisive effect on this team and it�s very young, rookie Head Coach. Let�s not though, denigrate the play of JPeezy, his contributions over they years, his leadership on the way to a Super Bowl victory, and certainly his pure entertainment value.
And please�.those of you who insist that you were right�.who are now validated�.keep patting yourself on the back�..I generally don�t speak for others�..but I don�t think many of us care if you were right, wrong, in between.
I�ll miss JPeezy��I just pray, hard, that he doesn�t end up down the street from me in Foxboro.
