Something to Work With, Fellas?

Picture it if you will. 

Two 5-1 teams in a Week 8 matchup.  Teams that have two of the three Super Bowl rings earned since Feb, 2006 and are looking for another.  Teams with star quarterbacks who went head to head in the 2004 college draft. 

The Steelers’ defense leads the league in sacks, and they’re up against one of the toughest offensive lines in the league, considering Manning’s only been sacked 6 times all year.   Sounds like all the necessary ingredients for a classic match-up, right?

So, could we have a little more trash talking enthusiasm here, please??  First of all, come ON, Ben.  Plaxico “made me who I am?”  For REAL?  What was it he taught you exactly…responsibility?  Nope.  Leadership?  Wrong again.  Driving an obnoxiously large vehicle?  Maybe. 

And, secondly, don’t even get me STARTED on Santonio. 

Seriously? 

Weed. 

In your car. 

Driving past Mellon Arena.

Fantastic.

Missing games because of drug possession charges is not how you make friends with Steeler fans, Asshat.

Regardless…

Having won 12 out of the last 14 regular season games at home, no doubt we’re making this #13.

GO. STEELERS.
