Mercury Morris and redemption vs. BB

Just watched an NFL network program featuring the Dolphins.

The Dolphins had an undefeated season in 1972. Mercury Morris was a member of that team. He was convicted (yes convicted) on drug charges. And years later during a half time presentation they, (the Dolphins) "introduced" those players from that remarkable season. Morris' name was not spoken. Shunned by the "team". Will BB face the same fate? Even though Morris was actually convicted by the courts, BB has dually been convicted by the press and us. (None worse than yours truly). What he's done has been remarkable on the field. What he's done off the field has been (allegedly) atrocious. Will BB be forgiven in a 2020 halftime extravaganza against the crows? Or will he never escape the critics? Morris is doing his part for the youth in his community, but still has yet to be embraced by the "faithful". Can we as the "Nation" forgive BB, or is he slotted to be our Morris?.......Let me know please.

Leftwich Exclaims.......Excited to be back!!!!!

Byron Leftwich couldn’t help but smile coming off the practice field during the team’s mini-camp this past weekend. Not only was he out on the field doing what he loves, playing football, but he was back doing it at a place he loves. “I was excited to be back,” said Leftwich. “I had just a great time when I was here last time and guys welcomed me back with open arms. To be a part of an organization like this, which I feel is the best organization in sports. I had a smile on my face from ear to ear to have the opportunity to come back here and be a part of this.“It’s fun. I had the most fun in my NFL career last time I was here. It’s not because we won the Super Bowl. It was about being in the locker room with the veteran guys, guys who understand what it is all about. Here there is only one goal and that is winning football games.

”Nice answers Lefty. Takin' first team snaps this week and answering questions like that....you may be here a while Sport. This is getting dicey, we all know my views, and sorry Fever and 5020, but I had too.

The Steelers as I said earlier will succeed with BB on the bench. And when he cums comes back he will, I hope, have success. BL takin' snaps, getting the book and being here for at least a year or two will help. He's good for two wins, Dixon 1-2 and Batch 2-3.....soooo thats at least 1-3 when Ben returns. (Historically the Steelers start 1-3, 2-2 at best for first 4) Look it up. On average. (I get it.....we're kinda weak early) BB goes.....hmmmmm. 9-3 at worst...(being optomistic)...after the 2 week prep prior to game 5...hopefully! So 10-6......Wild card...again, 2004-2005 anyone? WE'VE got THIS.

I'm a Steeler Fan...(and also a Ben detractor) Can I be both?

Yeah I’m not a Ben fan, but the Steelers are a different matter. I love the Steelers. How trite. Right? I don’t care for Ben. Week 5 or 6 (really week 5) Ben will return and I will be rooting for the B&G regardless. (Actually week 3 I’ll be in Tampa, C’mon STEELERS!!!!) Against the Browns week 5 Ben will be back. I don’t care for Ben, as I’ve made clear, but when he suits up I’ll put my biases behind me and root for Ben and the STEELERS to succeed. Contridictorary right? I don’t think so. Ben is a Steeler and I support the Steelers. If the heirs of that saavy gambler Art S. see to it that Ben is to be here, than who am I. Art Sr. made choices based on dog performances and card lays. Who are we to degrade the tradition. A questionable gamble? FO SHO! But a Steeler fan I am. I don’t support Ben individually, but as a teamate, I’m hamstrung. (Go Ben Go). So there you go, the conundrum of being a Steeler Fan in 2010 and beyond.
Damn him

DO IT EMINEM....AHHH TO BE A STEELER FAN.....

QBs' Times three....REMEMBER 2004? DEJA VU

Hey Remember the 2004 season? Tommy Maddox went 2-1 and Ben stepped in to go 13-0. We went to the AFC title game where youth reared its ugly head. The following year Maddox went 0-2, Charlie Batch went 2-0 and Ben went 9-3, leading the Burgh to its 5th title. See that? 3 starters, one goal. And success. If Ben sits 4 games this year we have Dixon and Batch (that same Batch). And now Leftwich. Both have already shown they can get the job done, if even for only a limited amount of starts. The Steelers will be O.K. at that position. The Steelers did good in the draft this year with all of their picks. OL/C..LB....RB....a corner and O-lineman they've done well. Relax nation....VICTORY IS OURS!!!!

SANTONIO vs. The FAA

Santonio and his I-pod. This guy is a tool. Is he that big a star that FAA regulations don't apply? Unruly? A neusance? Get the FU({ outta here.
This guy is a tool. A 5th rounder is more than he's worth. The Jets will see. So long and good riddence.
Everone says no big deal about the I-pod.........

The "No big deal" I get. However, having said that, Goodell has set the standard that criminal prosecution is not mandatory for action. As an airport/aircraft employee, (and no I don't throw bags), his behavior is what TSA and the "Marshals" are suppose to prevent. As an avionics tech with the airlines I believe his I-pod more than likely would not interfere with instruments during take off and/or landing, but there is the chance, however slight they may be, that it could. And that is why they are to be turned off during those two times. His arrogance and mis-steps cost him with the Steelers, and his disregard for the safety of the passengers on that flight should get him suspended. Good luck NYJ.....you get what we don't need.

AND THEY'RE OFF.......PART DEAUX
