Oh Joy, the Pro-Bowl



Oh fun, it's the NFL Pro-Bowl this weekend. What an awesome game, the best from both conferences matching up against one another. IT'S GREAT!!!

Re-read that with a heavy dose of sarcastic undertones.

The Pro-Bowl is lame, and not really fun to watch. Time for something different NFL, shake things up. Make it a flag football tournament. Keep the Pro-Bowl voting, just put the players on 4 or 6 different teams and have a tournament. Not every team gets the necessary players needed for a team. That means there will be a lineman or a defensive player playing the quarterback position or wide receiver or running back or maybe kicking?

I'd watch this.

Te-boned! Steelers vs Broncos WildCard Recap



Broncos 29 Steelers 23

Despite everything, the Steelers still had a chance to win this game in the final minutes of the 4th quarter. It's a shame, but at the same time with the mounting injuries to starters on both the offensive and defensive lines, how much further could they have went. Broncos played a hell of the game, their gameplan was dead on. Way to go Broncos, have fun, I hope you spoil some other teams hopes too.

Announcing

CBS number 1 team, Nantz and Simms. SUCK.

Officiating

I rarely complain about the referees, there's no point. But that team was horrible, they missed calls on for both teams, and called a bunch of ticky-tacky penalties. The playoffs are suppose to be a showcase of the best teams and referees, this was not the case for that crew. Better be looking into that crew NFL, maybe it's time for some of those old guys to retire.

Stumbling and Fumbling: Steelers vs Browns Round 2 Recap



Steelers 13 Browns 9


Last game of the 2011 season, as it turned out the game was unimportant to the Steelers playoff seeding seeing how the Ravens won their game against the Bengals. The injury to Mendenhall sucks, but knowing that Redman and Clay can run the ball as well will ease my pain. It's hard to blame Redman for those fumbles, the first one was a great hit at the right spot and the other was stripped out of his hands as he is about to hit the ground. Luckily they didn't hurt the Steelers, since the defense stepped up and shut the Browns down.

On to Denver to face Tebow.

Announcing

Kevin Harlan and Solomon Wilcots. Harlan was definitely trying to use up all his anecdotes in this last game and Wilcots just thinks he knows everything about the game. If he was that great, he'd be a coach and not a commentator.
