this post is about football!

oh yeah. it was a good weekend to be a steelers fan. good old len pasquerleli always tells it like it is, and his article made me smile with pride. for those not in the know, the bengals have been talked up all year as an up and coming team, young and talented, the new team to beat in the AFC north, yada yada yada. and sunday, the steelers waltzed into cincinnati and smacked them around for a few hours. steelers linebacker joey porter had the quote of the week when he said, "we restored some order, today." god, i love smack talk. i wish i could talk like that and back it up at something.

over at si.com, don banks was selling a different story, that of the bengals missing an opportunity. i suppose it's going to be one or the other as the week goes on- either the bengals dropped the ball, or the steelers pounded them into the ground. as a steeler fan, i prefer the latter, of course. and frankly, if either big ben or hines ward had played last week, we would have beaten the snuff out of the jaguars, too and the discussion this week would be more along the lines of, "who's better, pittsburgh or indianapolis?" (a question i can't answer yet. we'll see in november.)

so, yeah. football was great this weekend. woo hoo.
