Rants, Complaints and Life Lessons: January 2011

Now I am normally not one for predictions or using fate or destiny to describe our beloved Steelers but I am about to make an exception.....

Do you know what the 23rd of January means to the city of Pittsburgh and Steelers? No it isn't just the AFC Championship, it is the birthday of Myron Cope!!! Do you really think that the ghost of Myron would allow the Steelers to be beaten on his birthday?!?! Not a chance!!!

If you happen to be fortunate enough to be going to the game....hell even if you are watching it on TV somewhere, get those towels out and see if we can stir up the ghost of cope to will the Steelers to victory and a chance of their 7th SuperBowl championship!!

Remember what it means when you disrespect the Terrible Towel? Here is a reminder.....

And here is a little something to get you fired up for Sunday!!!

Just
Ended
Their
Season

Oh Cinderella....the fairy tale is OVER!!

GO STEELERS!!!

So this is what it takes for me to begin blogging again this year!!

A game of titantic proportions....Steelers / Ravens III for the right to play for the AFC Championship (against the Patriots of course). This is my ABSOLUTE favorite time of the year, the weather is crappy, Steelers are in the playoffs and the Ravens think they are going to the Superbowl. This happens every year without fail. Turn on ANY sportscast and you will hear Reverend Ray-Ray Lewis preaching on how he is the "LORDS" linebacker and the Ravens are the best team since the NFL formed.

I understand why Ray-Ray is the "LORDS" linebacker, it isn't all that complex. Have you ever done something and said to yourself....."Lord, if I can get away without shoveling my driveway until tomorrow, I will NEVER ASK FOR ANYTHING AGAIN!!" I would bet that is the type of deal that Ray-Ray had to agree to in order to get away with murder. MURDER..not just a euphemism for something smaller but ACTUAL MURDER!! He has to walk in fear every day so that the lord just doesn't burn his ass with a lightening bolt. That's enough about the most over-rated linebacker in the league.

Let's talk about Flacco!

While you are tuned into Ray-Ray talking up the Raven again, just stay tuned, there will no doubt be a dumbass sports reporter following up that conversation with how Joe Flacco is an elite QB in the league. I have even heard comparisons that put him above Big Ben in the QB conversations.

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MINDS?!?!?

I will be the first to admit that I am a bit of a homer when it comes to my Steelers but let's just take a look at the hard facts, and to make it easier to read for any Ravens fans that may attempt to read this we will just discuss what is really important.

BEN HAS 2 SUPERBOWL RINGS!!!

For those of your wondering about career stats....here you go.

Ben - 1766 completions, 22,502 yards, 144 TD's, 86 INTs

Joe - 818 completions, 10,206 yards, 60 TD's, 34 INTs

HOW ARE THEY EVEN IN THE SAME QB CONVERSATION!?!?!?

The most enjoyable time of the week waiting for the game is the funny pictures that are put on facebook and other social media spots about the Ravens.....here are some of my favorites.
