Beloved 4-1 at the Break

So I predicted 5-0. I'll take it. More impressive than the 21-Nil whitewashing over that Whiny Walrus-Looking Holmgren and the Cryhawks was the depleted squad the Steelers played with last week. Without their 2 MVP's on the defensive side, Troy and Casey...without the Best CB on the team, McFadden...without their top 2 WR's, Hines and Holmes...the beloved still pummeled Seattle.

Props to Ben, who went 18/22 with a depleted WR corp...as well as Ike Taylor, the 2nd Best CB on team, who got NFL Defensive Player of the Week Honors.

We're the 3rd best team in the NFL right now, and that will become even more obvious after New England beats down the Cowboys in Dallas this week.

I LOVE Mike Tomlin.

Pretty shoddy w/e of football coming up. No Steelers. My European footie sides are off for the International Break. Two games to keep an eye on Saturday...

Penn St v. Bucky

Toronto FC v. LA Galaxy. Live on FSC at 10:30pm Saturday.

Yeah, TFC has long ago been eliminated from playoff contention, but knocking off Turd Box Landon Donovan would be fun.
