God Awful: Steelers vs Ravens Round 1 Recap

Man, what a crappy game, I don't even want to do a recap of this at all.

But, I'll give it a go.

Ravens 35 Steelers 7


Man, I wasn't even close to that score, see here. Horrible game if you were a Steelers fan, hell even the players. I haven't seen the team beaten that bad in a while. 7 turnovers, I mean really 7 turnovers, the hell?? First Quarter was bad, but really thought the Steelers were going to overcome all that after their touchdown. I was wrong, the constant fumbles/interceptions were horrible and just let the Ravens attack on defense like it was nobody's business.

At least this was week 1 of the season, being a fan of the NFL for well over 20 years, I know there really isn't a reason to get to excited for your team in the first few weeks. I know you don't want your team to ever lose to division rivals, but week 1 is a good week for for that loss to happen. I always find it funny when the media jumps to conclusions after week 1 of the NFL, it's always a crapshoot. Some teams are coming off a great training camp and look great for a few weeks, then turn out just how you thought they would, shitty.

Does this loss matter, yes, it's a divisional game, but I'm not calling the Ravens champs just yet. Besides Joe Flacco has a unibrow, I have proof.



Announcing

New feature to the recap this year, if I have to watch the game I'm critiquing the announcers. The game was on CBS, so they gave us their number 1 team which is Jim Nance and Phil Simms. Ugh. How are these guys the number 1 team? Well it's not really Jim Nances' fault, he's decent. It's really Phil Simms. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. I mean just call the game in a neutral fashion will you. The guy was all over how "great" Flacco was, reminding me a few times that he's won 4 road playoff games in his career. Really, that's great because he's never sniffed a Super Bowl. Plus, need I remind you Phil that Ben won 3 consecutive road games on his way to a Super Bowl win in only his second season, so winning 4 round playoffs games in a career isn't all that great.

Ready for next week.

Yay! The Preseason is over

I don't hate the NFL Preseason, I just hate fans who think that the preseason is worth a shit.

And that's the NFLs fault for making it seem like those games are important. I have always said that those games are not for me. Don't get me wrong, I'll watch those games, but I'm not caring whether or not the offense and defense plays well or not. I'm not pumped up for those games.

The preseason is for the coaches/front office to evaluate the talent they have brought in through the draft, free agency, and vets they feel are not up to par.

But the preseason is all behind us now, the regular season starts this Thursday, with the shitty Green Bay Fudge Packers. Yeah. I'm still bitter. Eat it.

Free Money



It seems like I'm always seeing stories about athletes just giving their money away when trying to invest it. David Akers seems to be the latest athlete to do such a thing. Giving away $3.7 million. Good one.

I mean, just give me the money. I offer nothing in return, I'm going to spend it, and at least you'll know where your money is going. Chances are once you're broke 10 years after your career has ended, I may be willing to offer you some sort of loan to get you back on your feet. That's better than just dumping all your money into a shady investment that promises big riches, but really a guy just takes your money and runs.

It's Back Baby!


That's right my Steelers t-shirts are back. I have not worn (except my hat, which is a workout hat since it's all nasty not really a white hat, but an off-white sweat ring hat now) any Steelers gear since the Super Bowl. I refused to wear it, I did not care about their silly little lockout. It's like it wasn't even happening. Now that everything has worked out for all the parties involved, I am once again wearing my shirts. Which reminds me, I need a new gray Steelers T. I really don't care for the one I have on today, it's ok. Doesn't help the Steelers lost like every time I wore it.

Exclusive Hines Ward DUI Photo!!

Apparently this photo was just released from the night Hines Ward got busted for a DUI.



Wow. So Hines was driving KIT around town, you'd like to think that KIT could keep Hines out of trouble. Since Hines was in his Steelers uniform, not holding onto a steering wheel, all while getting ready to drink a das boot full of beer. Damn Evil Steely McGnome, damn you.
