Stuff

Just a couple Monday mornin' links to help you make it through the day:

* we did another podcast

* my quick Steelers-Bucs game recap

Game Thread, Week 3: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Steelers are trying for 3-0, this time with the fourth-string quarterback, who, honestly, would be the No. 2 on just about every team on the league.

Game Thread, Week 2: Tennessee Titans

Well, the Steelers are 1-0 with three games to play before Big Ben returns. Pittsburgh's record in Tennessee (1-8) suggests that they face very long odds, but I'm sure nobody thought the Chiefs, Raiders and Browns had a chance in hell of defeating the defending Super Bowl champs, either.

Just trying to stay positive.

QB Controversy!

The D dominated like it was 2008, Dennis Dixon made his way through opening day, and ROBO-PUNTER finally looked like the guy I told Kevin Colbert to draft in 2007. Coulda been worse (see Bengals, Browns).

There's a whole bunch of stuff at Steelers Lounge, including this postgame podcast JJ and I whipped up.

Game Thread, Week 1: Atlanta Falcons

Well, here goes nothing. This could be the start of something special, or the beginning of the "Let's all blame Ben!" run-up to missing the playoffs. As always: also feel free to comment here or at Steelers Lounge, both or neither.

Down Goes Byron

Well, that sucked. I have no idea why Byron was playing with the second-teamers in the final preseason game. Or why Ben was out there at all. Either way, I've been asking for Dennis Dixon and it looks like I'm gonna get him.

If you're looking for ways to kill time at work today, here ya go:
