Woodley Hits, Happy B-Day Sid, the Insignificance of Bonds

What was up with the NFL Network this past Sunday...repeatedly interrupting Michael Irvin's Hall of Fame induction speech for the Steelers / Saints game?!?! The nerve of some people.


While our old #55 is laid up in Miami for the pre-season, having another knee surgery, the new #55 is lighting people up. Ever notice when the Steeler brass decides to let someone go (i.e. Joey Porter), they never amount to anything with their new team? My prediction is that the same will result with Porter as a Dolphin.

Lamar Woodley jacks up Najeh Davenport...


kinda reminds me of Kendrell Bell, only a few short years ago, when he jacked up Jerome Bettis in training camp.

More predictions...I went over the Beloved's 16 game schedule, and I'm saying:

12-4

We start the season 5-0 going into the BYE, with a pretty easy schedule:

Sept. 9 at Cleveland = WINNER
Sept. 16 Buffalo = WINNER
Sept. 23 San Fran = WINNER
Sept. 30 at Arizona = WINNER
Oct. 7 Seattle = WINNER

after the BYE, it gets a little tougher, so I'll be realistic here. With 2 weeks prep under my guy Mike Tomlin, we'll split the next 2:

Oct. 21 at Denver = WINNER, but potential loser
Oct. 28 at Cincy = if we win at Denver, then loser; if we lose at Denver = WINNER

Either way, we're 6-1 after the 8th week. Then we come home for 4 out of 5, where we'll hold serve on all the home games, but drop 1 at New York:

Nov. 5 Baltimore = WINNER
Nov. 11 Cleveland = WINNER
Nov. 18 at NY Jets = loser
Nov. 26 Miami = WINNER
Dec. 2 Cincinnati = WINNER

That takes us to 10-2 coming down the stretch. Tough finish to the season, and again keeping it real:

Dec. 9 at New England = loser
Dec. 16 Jacksonville = WINNER
Dec. 20 at St Louis = WINNER

At 12-3, with the division wrapped up and Baltimore fighting for their playoff lives, as much as it pains me to say it:

Dec. 30 at Baltimore = loser

There...

12-4

Happy belated B-Day to a classy kid, and the best hockey player in the world!! Sidney Crosby turned 20 earlier this week, and still can't legally have a beer. Go hang out with the Jordan Staal, Sid.

Barry Bonds hit his record breaking HR a couple days ago. And Empties Crushed still doesn't care, or see the significance.
