The Bungles...Seriously?

WELL NOW...who said the Denver Broncos were "for real"? Oh yeah, everybody at that shit-factory known as ESPN. So the Steelers only go into Denver and destroy the Broncos while they are missing three starters on defense. Surely that would garner some national acclaim...you know...defending champs win FIVE in a row and now sit at 6-2? Surely people will start talking about the defense that hasn't given up a touchdown in two games? The quick answer is no, no big deal. I'm used to the Steelers being ignored in place of the flashy Patriots, Colts, et al. Let them get blown by the media, the Steelers will continue to win as always.

Rant aside, this guy from Sports Illustrated may be the smartest football mind in the world, aside from yours truly. This is the guy...Jim Trotter. He wrote a column dealing with his predictions for the remainder of the NFL season. Here's his number six:

6. The Steelers will not lose another regular-season game. The belief among personnel people is you had better beat the Steelers early in the season because they get stronger as the year progresses. Sure enough, the defending Super Bowl champions have won five in a row and look to be finding their rhythm. More eye-opening: The Bengals are the only team left on Pittsburgh's schedule with a winning record. Scary.

Aristotle goes on to say:

10. Pittsburgh will win the Super Bowl. The Steelers are only two field goals away from being undefeated, and no one is really talking about them. Coach Mike Tomlin has to love that. Anyway, I have Pittsburgh, Indy, New England and Denver as my division winners, with San Diego and Cincinnati as the wild cards. Pittsburgh beats San Diego in the conference final. In the NFC I have New Orleans, Arizona, Minnesota and Philadelphia as division winners, with Dallas and Atlanta as the wild cards. New Orleans beats Minnesota in the conference final. Pittsburgh defeats New Orleans 27-24 for its second consecutive Lombardi Trophy.

I like this guy. I just can't put my finger on it...but he seems smart. You know, like a voter. Great guy.

BUT, now we transition from a great guy, to a humongous gaping vagina.

Morely, you need to pick your shit up. Your buddy, Mike Wallace, continues to be reporting the news to every defensive back in the league. As a matter of fact, Wallace will personally deliver a sixty minute diatribe to Cincinnati DB's this week. So, Morely, pick your shit up and start contributing. Pretty soon Steeler Nation will give up on you like they have on Limas Sweed.

Here's some keys to the game today:

Cedric Benson will not gain one hundred yards. Carson Palmer has been loving the Bengals newly found running game. After all, it was Benson who finally ended the Ravens game streak without a one hundred yard rusher. Unfortunately, he will not have the same success against a top level defense.

Pittsburgh linebackers vs. Cincinnati offensive line: Some big plays are required from Harrison and company to throw the Bengals passing game off track. With the loss of production from Cedric Benson, Palmer will try to air it out, and if that loudmouth dickbag Ocho Cinco nets more than fifty yards, I'm going to burn down the Clemente Bridge.

Big Ben is going to destroy the Bengal defense. You watch...I'm saying over 250 yards, and two to three touchdowns.

That's it for now. I'll be watching the game at the only Steelers Bar that I have found in the city of Boston.
