Steelers lose, I hate Boston

That was disgusting. Listen, I love the fact that the Steelers are trying to let Big Ben open up the passing game a bit, but when you're playing the leagues worst run defense, why in the hell does Fast Willie only get the ball 3 times in the first quarter? Especially when Ben was getting harrassed relentlessly every time he dropped back. O-Line...how bout picking up a block or two on passing plays. Just because Ben is pretty good at escaping rushers, doesn't mean you just let them go by you. The defense wasn't much better. You're not going to win many games letting opponents convert on 70% of third downs. That included two 3rd-and-14 conversions on a single drive that finished with a touchdown. And way to pressure Cutler too, Most of the time he didn't have a pass rusher within 3 yards, either the Broncos have developed some sort of space-age force field that fits in Cutlers helmet and keeps defenders at bay, or the Steelers rushers played like shit. Maybe you guys should spend a little less time listening to the writers that are trying to put you on the same tier with Indy and NE and a little more time playing good football. That being said, the second half offense looked pretty good.

In "teams that didn't suck" news, the Patriots are fucking good! These guys look completely unbeatable right now. It's ridiculous watching them, they make plays that just leave your jaw hanging. As much as I hate the Patriots, it's hard not to enjoy watching them play. Even the announcers were speechless at times in the first half. Brady and Moss don't even look like they're trying anymore. Moss is in triple coverage? Doesn't matter, just have Brady toss it up somewhere within 25 yards of him and a touchdown becomes an almost certainty. Its only the 7th game of the season and Moss is already #2 on the all-time list for touchdown catches in a season. And I wouldn't even be that surprised if Brady breaks Peyton's touchdown pass record by week 12.

Unfortunately, the Red Sox also beat the Indians on Sunday to complete their comeback and earn a berth in the World Series. Between the Red Sox, the Patriots, and the revived Celtics, it would seem the Boston sports community have sold their collective souls to devil in exchange for some extra douchebaggery and talent. It's not just the pro teams either, Boston College moved up to #2 in this weeks BCS rankings. The bandwagon Boston fans are multiplying like rabbits. Something needs to be done to start the cleansing. Would Boston be flooded if all the polar ice caps melted? Maybe we should organize a field trip up to the Arctic Circle with some blowtorches. We can all drive our Hummers and private jets. Yeah it might fuck up the world beyond repair, but do you really want to live in a world where Boston wins the World Series, Super Bowl, and has a decent shot at making a run a the NBA Championship too? Although on second thought, they'd probably just move inland. At least now most of them are in concentrated in New England. Maybe if we could arrange for Tom Brady, David Ortiz, and Kevin Garnett to all simultaneously tear an ACL. We'd probably see so many mass suicides that it would take years for the population to recover.
