Oh shut it. If the Redskins receiving corps had decided that catching the ball was something they might be interested in then I'd be willing to put up with the throwbacks. As it is, my freaking team decided that the secondary had a good scheme going and the RC decided to start dropping balls like a locker room for 13 year old boys.

<grumble>


I think he was talking about how they were from Pittsburgh Steelers to the Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets.

Why did the Browns waist a 1st round pick on an older QB that will MAYBE get 10 years, and most of that will be in learning or declining ability.

If I were the Browns GM/HC I would have drafted a VERY young QB that was 1st Round worthy. Hell traded the near last pick for a 2nd and 3rd Round pick, pickup a 2nd Round QB and go from there. (Maybe even pickup Weeden in the 3rd Round, plus what pick did you waist for Colt McCoy or whatever his name was that is ALOT better than Weeden? How old is he?)

There are 1,000,000 better choices the franchise could have made other than Brandon Weeden.

Weeden is doing alright for the Browns, but i still say that giving McCoy two years would've been better.

Giants-Steelers should be cancelled.

Everything is a mess in NJ and the City.

Just take a rain date.

No, seriously.

The Steelers cannot even find a hotel open with rooms enough for them. Truth!

During Katrina, NY had a "road game" at the Meadowlands, where NO was the "Home Team". I think that moving it to Pitt wouldn't hurt.

If I was a Giants or Steelers fan, I'd be furious if it was cancelled. Postponed, sure, but cancelled could very well cost a team a spot in the playoffs.
