My friend Victor is somewhere in the Hoosier Dome nosebleed seats. He’s got a rolled up sign that reads, “Dear Mr. Shula: You’re welcome.” Something tells me he’s not going to be able to roll that out tonight. Another friend of mine up there called me and told me that obstructed-view seats were going for […]Read More
Bill Cowher called an onside kick to start the half. The Colts recovered on the Steelers’ 37. Then they scored a touchdown. Nice one, Bill. Did Matt Millen call that one in for you during halftime? Early in the 3rd, the Colts are up, 23-7.Read More
Want to see something really sad? Jerome Bettis: 6 carries, 9 yards. Duce Staley: 2 carries, 4 yards. Willie Parker: 4 carries, 0 yards. So yeah, the Colts are geared up to stop the run. Their pass rush is really jacked up tonight, too. Everyone on that defense seems to be getting tackles right when […]Read More
My friend Albert came in midway through the half. He came bearing gifts… I need to find a good place to display these.Read More
My friend Ameer is here. Ameer is a friendly, self-depricating fellow who once described himself as “The Desert Dork.” He doesn’t know a lot about football, so we’re explaining the nuances of the game to him as it goes along. Only in 21st century America would you see a young Asian woman enthusiastically explaining football […]Read More
Steelers first drive? 3 and out. Colts first drive? One 80-yard touchdown pass from Peyton Manning to Marvin Harrison. J.J. reminded me earlier that next week’s game against the Bengals is more important. The Steelers can survive this loss as long as they win next week. I’m trying really hard to take that to heart […]Read More
The Colts still have a 23-7 lead with 2 minutes left. Unless Ryan Fitzpatrick shows up to sprinkle some magic dust on the Steelers, it’s all over but the shouting. Pittsburgh got throttled. They made some stupid mistakes, too. I’m continuing to remind myself that next week’s game is much more important to the Steelers’ […]Read More
For a minute, I wondered if it could get any worse for Pittsburgh. Then came Troy Polamalu. With the Colts pinned deep in their own and looking to make another move, Troy got the jump on Marvin Harrison, intercepted a Peyton Manning pass and set up the Steelers with 1st & goal at the 6. […]Read More
Everyone in this sports theater is. All twelve screens are tuned into the Monday Night game. Everywhere you look, football. J.J. and Angela are ready… My friend Dawn would like all of you to know that Peyton Manning is going down tonight. She would also like you to know that the Original Steakhouse & Sports […]Read More
