Plax Goes to Prison

We roasted Plaxico a few weeks ago. While we think he’s getting what he deserves for not knowing the laws in the state he lives in, it is rather sad that the guy is going to prison for almost two years just for being… well, stupid. Guy shoots himself in the leg and now he’s [...]

Week 2 Recap: Better Hide The Towel Dispensers

The Pittsburgh Steelers tasted their first defeat of the 2009 season with a heartbreaking 17-14 loss to the Chicago Bears. As is usually the case with the Steelers, this was a loss which didn’t have to be. The Black and Gold had every opportunity to win this game and but for one individual [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers Take Ugly Loss But Still Look Good

So, Mike Tomlin didn’t become the third head coach in NFL history to start out 2-0 in his first three seasons.

Chicago Bears Report Card: Week Two Vs Pittsburgh Steelers

So it was an ugly win, but I will take it. First off, "Good as Gould" is the greatest clutch kicker in Chicago Bears history. The man is money... Takes notes Jeff Reed. Second, whatever was up with Soldier Field, either they need to fix the turf or the Bears should have been wearing longer cleats because people were slipping and sliding as if they were on an ice rink. Third, THAT...
