I hear the NFL has moved the remainder of the Steelers games this season to The History Channel.  ;D

I'm watching the Browns and the Bills.  It's a snoozer game.  I may have to change it if it doesn't pick up.  ;D

I got to drop that one liner of yours on a colleague who hails from Pittsburg this afternoon. He didn't appreciate it, but to his credit he laughed about it.  :biggrin:

Oh I've used that more than a few times in this young season.  LOL!!  :rotfl:

Feel free to drop it anytime you're around surly Pittsburgh Steeler fans which will just about be any given Sunday from now until January.  ;D

My heart and thoughts go out to Adrian Peterson over the death of his 2 year old son, apparently at the hands of the child's mothers boyfriend. . .  :'(

VERY expensive 6-0 lead at the half for Green Bay.  James Jones and Randall Cobb both hurt during the first half.

Manning is rattled by Jacksonville.

Not much has changed with him it wold seem. Apparently getting to him early and often and administering a few solid hits to him still rattles his cage.

"The Skins play the Cowgirls on Sunday Night this week," Duffy's Irish Pub posted on its Facebook page this week.

"Everyone wearing Skins gear gets a free shot of Jameson each time Tony Romo throws an interception!"

Not much to add to that, except that it should be a standard deal at every bar, tavern, watering hole, pub and eatery in the entire metropolitan region. Because it's funny.

As it turns out, Romo is slightly (but only slightly) more likely to throw interceptions against the Redskins than against other teams.

Romo has averaged .87 interceptions a game against Washington; against the league as a whole, it's .78 interceptions a game. He has averaged an interception in every 34 attempts against Washington; against the league as a whole, it's an interception in every 36.9 attempts.

Romo's 13 career interceptions against Washington are behind only his totals against the Giants, but he obviously has far more games against NFC East opponents. Still, you'd have to figure you have a better than 50-50 shot at getting at least one free shot out of the deal.

Here is a quote Adrian Peterson:

"Anything bad, I try to take good from it," Peterson said. "That's the way I approach life in all situations. I never thought about not playing. It was all about just going out there and praying that I have the strength to get through and help my team. That was my focus."

"My brother passed the night before the combine and I decided to go through with it. The same reason why I will play this week," Peterson said in the text message to Fox Sports. "You may ask why? God wants good to come from it ... we mourn and grieve but heaven had the baddest welcoming party for my son. That knowledge gives me peace.

"I'm still hurt and feel the pain of life, but I'm able to function because of the peace and joy of knowing my loved ones are in a much better place."

He is a classy player who is exciting to watch.  He puts me in mind of the great one Walter Payton.
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left."
Ecclesiastes 10:2 - It all makes sense to me now...
