PS: Dont worry hamilton County. You will still receive my revenue in baseball season. At least the reds put forth a little effort to win. Here we go......
Yeah they "might" put forth the effort to win but in the end many times they're still behind or not much better than the Pirates in the standings...

And that stuff wins you rings! Sitting in the pocket like a prima donna gets you killed or like Carson Palmer a badly injured knee.
You wouldnt lose knees if you didnt get a cheap shot . Above the waist . Now the player might not know the the differance between a knee and a waist, He should go back to school.
i think he is amazing. the steelers always get the lower draft picks because of being consistently good, and they still manage to get great players. i only wished my bengals were half as worthy in the draft. they are active in free agency. and get competent backups. it's a wonderfully ran organization. from top to bottom. i started watching the bengals in 68. when they came into the league. since 69. the steelers have had 3 head coaches. chuck noll, bill cowher, and mike tomlin. that just amazes me, with their success every year. ben is so dang hard to get a handle on , he's listed at 245. but i figure about 265/270. he's a agile linemen , that can throw, and run when needed, never hardly ever gets a solid , knockout type hit put on him. and seemingly has eyes in the back of his helmet. the play where he scrambled , wrestled out of several defenders , and then threw back across his body , and hit heath miller still behooves me. unless a wordcode was used to let him know miller was open , completely behind him, and across the field. that play just amazed me.
The Rooneys knew what they were doing when he was drafted. And once again, it plays itself out. Putting all the bravado aside, who can argue with the Rooney's success, and Big Ben's production...........
I have stuck by my team (quietly), for 39 years, and once again, am proud at their accomplishments, and to say that I am a Steelers fan!!!!!
heard peter king(sports illustrated editor) and colin cowherd on espn radio today and they both agreed that ben is now an elite qb. peter king went on to say that nobody else in the nfl could have gotten out of some the situations that ben was put in on sunday. king went on to say that some of the old guard of steeler players and former coach's were comparing ben to bradshaw and holmes to swann with that td catch at the ened of the game. fyi.
