I got a feeling...

HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO! PITTSBURGH'S OFF THE PLAY THE DENVER BRONCOS!

What a heart stopping event that was on Sunday. The final score was 21-18, but it is in no way a reflection of the absolute dominance the Steelers had over the Colts. The only thing is that we let them come back in the fourth quarter and score 15 points on two touchdowns, and they had a two-point conversion on one of them. But those last five minutes, I didn't think I would make it. When The Bus fumbled the ball on the two, and the Colts recovered it... oh my damn. And I knew that Ben was the only one in the backfield, and I really hate when quarterbacks try to tackle, but I was screaming, "GET HIM, BOO!" Then, he made the best tackle, EVER!

Not only did he do that, but Ben came out on FIRE! Steelers scored on the very first drive when he threw a touchdown to Antwaan Randle El.

And NOBODY believed. The only two sports analysts that chose the Steelers that I could find were ESPN's Joe Theisman (ugh, but thanks) and Merrill Hoge. And it was so funny, because on Friday I had taped Pardon the Interruption, like I do when I have to be at work, but I forgot to watch it until Sunday night. And because ESPN knows that Sportscenter sucks, they hold the finale of PTI until about 10-15 minutes into Sportscenter, so if you're a fan of PTI, you have to watch at least some of the show to see the ending. ESPN is inappropriate. Anyway, while I was fast forwarding to get to the end of PTI, I saw a shot of Ben (just highlights) and stopped. And it was Merrill Hoge and Sean Salisbury (Steak) making their picks for the Divisional round of the playoffs. Well, let me tell you, Steak told Hoge that he was crazy for picking the Steelers to beat the Colts, especially since that they were coming into the dome again where they were completely manhandled. Uh-huh. Crazy like a fox.

Oh yeah, I know why all that bad stuff started happening in the fourth quarter. Marcus called. Normally, I do not talk on the phone during football games. Hell, last weekend when we played the Bun... er, Bengals, I couldn't eat. My step-dad was like, "Sit down and eat," but I just couldn't. I took the call, because at the beginning of the fourth quarter we were up 21-3. He better not even think about looking at the phone on Sunday. He called me last night when I was at work. I guess he wanted to watch American Idol. Oh well.

I even had contact with Ashley this week. She has so much drama drama in her life. And this time it's with Amar's wife. I won't get into it, but it's just too much for me. My life would be great if all my drama had something to do with a football field and a race-track (5 weeks away!). She also told me that the dude I used to like in high school, which happens to be Amar's brother, is on MySpace.com. MySpace.com? !No me gusta! You have to sign up for it just to look around. Then when you do that, ANYBODY can find you. Like Ashley told me to browse by high schools, and there was my school, and there he was. He has the stupidest name on there. But it is very appropriate, I mean, as soon as I saw it, I just said, that's him. I don't think I'll have much to do with the site. Unless Ashley is on there. And even then, I'll still probably try to get Lisa and Marcus on there. But I just really love this place. And it was so funny, because when I first got here, I liked my old online journal better. I haven't been there since like July, and I don't think I wrote anything then.

Well, I can't really think of anything to say except:

Notable QB Playoff records-

Tom Brady (10-1): How I loathe him, but he's out of the playoffs and I don't have to hear from him until at least July!

Peyton Manning (3-6): Oh well. *evil grin*

Eli Manning (0-1): I don't mean to be mean, but he was totally given a pass just because of his last name, which is why I don't like him. Any time he did anything right, he was hailed as the next coming, but when he threw like 4 interceptions in one game, against the Vikings, everyone just mollycoddled him.

Ben Roethlisberger (3-1): What else can I say about this man that I haven't already been saying for the past two years? He's Mexcellent!

Next up for Ben?:

The clash of the beards in the SMELL MY FACE BOWL!! Yes, I listen to way too much Elliot in the Morning. They talked to Joe on Monday, and I was way too siced than any person should have been. I am so sad.

Well, I gotta run. I have to catch the bus, and there are only 5 short hours before that, but of course, a photo of the Man of the Week. Mine of the year. For two straight years!

He came, he saw, and you know the rest.


Happy 80th Birthday to Granddaddy Lu tomorrow!!

HERE WE GO!!

I'm phasing.
