I just don't know what to say. That loss to the Broncos was just, I don't know. Ben threw 2 picks and fumbled a ball away, which Denver returned for a touchdown. Ouch. He kind of redeemed himself a bit when he threw 3 more touchdowns to tie the game up towards the end (he threw a TD really early on), but Denver won with a last second field goal 31-28. I know Ben deserves some (and I'm sure took more than his fair share) of the blame, but what I want to know is what happened to our defense? They were ranked number one in most categories (like points allowed, which before Denver was 9.4 a game). They were giving up 3rd down conversions like crazy, and I don't mean 3rd and short, I saw 3rd & 8 and 3rd & 12. WTF? I know Ben was responsible for 14 of Denver's points, but without his improvisation, Steelers could have lost 28-7 or something. Another thing I wondered is why was the running game abandoned. That was stupid. I think someone was trying to be VERY clever and just ended up outsmarting themselves. Denver's run defense was ranked next-to-last, if not last, in the league. So somebody must have said, "They can't stop the run, all we do is run, so I'm going to surprise them and PASS all night." Whatever.

Now we have to go into Cincinnati to face the 2-4 Bungles. You know what we have to do? We have to BEAT SOME BUNGLE ASS! This is another must win game (I think they all are, but that seems to be just me)! We need this for division supremacy, and to just create a small cushion between us and Baltimore and Cleveland, and we play both teams after Cincinnati, respectively. If Pittsburgh beats Cincy, then we'll be 5-2, Baltimore will be 4-3 (they're on bye this week), if Cleveland wins they'll be 4-3, and Cincinnati will be 2-5. If we lose: Pitt- 4-3, Balt- 4-3, Cleveland wins- 4-3/Cleveland loses- 3-4, Cincinnati- 3-4. It could be a tight division. We must beat the Bungles. MUST.

I hate her. Ugh. It's not even righteous anger, it's more of me shutting down.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid New England. Goddamn them to hell. I hope they go 16-0, get the top seed and lock up the bye-week for the playoffs, and LOSE THEIR FIRST GAME (preferably to the Steelers {if we can get there})! That whole region of the country sucks balls.

I was looking at Spiral Frog's website (that's the site where you can legally download for free) the other day, and it looks to be more trouble than it's worth. It said that if you have Windows Vista (and I do) it causes some trouble and if you're running Windows Media Player 11 (which I am), it will give error messages, but you can fix it if you go to the "Start" button, then "Run", and some other instructions. I was leaning towards doing it, but I couldn't find "Run" on this computer (I have on the old one, so it's not me being that stupid). I'll keep checking back on it, you never know when they'll work out all the kinks so I don't have to. After all, that's how they'll make more money, you try something and like it, then you recommend it to everybody, and everyone visits the website.

I still don't know what to make of this Tony Reali thing. I was upset that they played "Psychics" today instead of "Over/Under", but I was loving Around the Horn today (good episode, hilarious).

Just for filler, I'm shocked that I didn't put up my new TV viewing schedule, it's pretty solid, (N) means new show this season:

Sunday: NFL Football
Monday: MNF- sometimes, and mostly with the sound off, the commentators SUCK something terrible
Tuesday: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Wednesday: Dirty Sexy Money (N)- It's been pretty intriguing so far, I keep coming back for more (but I still can't wait for Lost (bestshowever) to come back in February)
Thursday: Ugly Betty- It's still pretty solid, but they keep throwing curves in here and there and drag some things out too long; Big Shots (N)- Pretty decent, it's kind of like Desperate Housewives or Sex in the City with dudes (Michael Vartan and Dylan McDermott are pretty hot to be older guys, 39 and 46, respectively)
Friday: Women's Murder Club (N)- It's based on books by James Patterson, and has filled the void of Law & Order quite nicely (which I found out that not only is it not coming back until January, but they're moving it to Sundays, why?)
Saturday: College Football- ALL. DAY. LONG! It's been such an awesome season so far! (Although it has some competition this Saturday, ABC Family is airing a marathon of Scariest Places on Earth, and I LOVE that show and have been wondering when they would show it, so I expect a lot of flipping back and forth)

I forgot to mention that I'll be able to see the Steelers @ Bungles game on Sunday (since Baltimore isn't playing), the last two games I saw, we lost (@ Arizona, @ Denver, and we beat Buffalo at home) and I'll be able to see the one after this because it's on MNF (ugh). Can we please get our collective act together and kick some divisional ass the next three weeks, or at worst 2 out of 3, but a sweep would be better.

Ben's photo is from some show called Sports Science that comes on FSN, but since I have CSN, I don't think I'll see it. %^&*%@ Comcast!

He looks so hot in that photo; and now a picture of his bum!

It's quite non-existent, isn't it? But I felt I should put it up anyway. What the hell is wrong with me?! I'm still so conflicted between Ben and Tony. The important thing is that don't feel guilty, conflicted, yes, but not guilty. Or something.

Here we go, Steelers! BEAT THOSE BUNGLES!!! PLEASE!

I'm phasing.
