Are you ready...NFL 2010!!!

Alright folks it's time for football to officially begin.

Tonight is the night, 2010 NFL season begins with the Vikings getting the snot kicked out of them by the defending Superbowl Champs the Saints. Before we begin on this journey, we should take a look back at how the season ended last year.





HOLY SHIT!! I just cant get enough of that replay. It a football orgasm that will last for generations.

JS...Don't hate me because your boy blew it, hate me because I enjoyed it sooo much.

Moving on...

Week 1 is upon us Steeler Nation and what have the football gods given to us?

The Atlanta Falcons, whose 9-7 record from a year ago doesn't really reflect just how good they were (remember they lost twice to the Saints being in the same division.) and Dennis Dixon.

Now I have to be honest, I was really rooting for Dennis to win the starting job over Sandwich but when it actually happened a thought crept into my mind......

WE ARE GOING TO GO 0-4!!

There is no need to drop your PBR light in disgust or jump from the Smithfield street bridge, please bear with me as I need to explain.

Dennis was a well known commodity coming out of Oregon, he was a Heisman hopeful until he got himself injured. I was kind of excited when the Steelers picked him up. Over the last couple of seasons he seemed like he was really coming around and if Ben got injured (or tossed in prison for rape) Dennis could easily take the field after Batch breaks his leg in the shower after the first game. Boy that dude gets hurt A LOT!!

So fast forward an off-season.....

Ben gets in his "Ben-type" trouble and the Steelers pick up Byron Sandwich. Why would that be? We have invested all of this time and money into Dennis. Could it be that Dennis is not all that good? He obviously was not going to get the nod until Byron got himself injured. This makes me VERY NERVOUS.

We all are aware as Steeler fans that Byron is not that good of a QB. He likens himself to Brett Favre but with less arm strength and less mobility (maybe Byron has a tractor and a pair of Wranglers?).

Maybe we finally saw what all of the Steelers coaches saw in Dennis during his only time playing with the starters this pre-season....he really STUNK IT UP!!

Like I said, don't panic but be prepared. If the Steelers do not win games on defense and completely dominate the first 4 weeks, pitching in with some points on the board it may be painful.

HURRY BACK BEN!!! WE ARE REALLY GOING TO NEED YOU.

Two final points...

1. Start Batch, great game manager, knows the ENTIRE playbook, the players on the team love him, I know he can turn it back over at worst 2-2.

2. What the HELL was Dixon thinking changing his number to 10? Great, that is all I needed....to be reminded of Kordell.

GO STEELERS!!!!
