For once, I agree with you.

And believe it or not, I was rooting for the Steelers to beat Cowboy Tony Romo and the so-called America’s team as soon as I saw that sign” “This is Steelers Country.” Yeah, from one blue collar cold and snowy city to another.

Big Ben is indestructible not only for his ability to play through pain and still inspire his team, but when he drove his motorcycle into a car a couple of months ago and lie in the street unconscious, he actually bounced back to play, again.

And I am rooting hard for Pittsburgh to knock off Baltimore on Sunday. That is because the Baltimore Ravens are actually the Cleveland Browns franchise which Mr. Modell (with the help of Al Lerner, I know) kidnapped theteam and moved them to Baltimore.

When Cleveland fans demanded their team name and colors back, this was granted by the former NFL commish, Paul Tagliabu. Only problem, the Browns real team was in Baltimore under a false identity (quoth the Raven, ‘Nevermore), and we were stuck with a bunch of rookies and retreads on the worst expansion team in NFL history.

Do I sound bitter? That’s because I am. I’m counting on Big Ben and the P-burgh defense to have a big day and sack Joe Fatso, Flatulence, whatever about a dozen times.

I won’t say Go, (the S word); just Go, the Browns expansion team.

Lesson to Cleveland: Be careful what you wish for.

MOST WINS BY QB IN FIRST FIVE SEASONS

49 – Ben Roethlisberger (2004-2008)
48 – Otto Graham (1950-54) (MNRC question: who is this guy anyway?)
48 – Dan Marino (1983 – 1987)
48 – Tom Brady (2000-2004)
46 – John Elway (1983-1987)

Again, that’s as in “ever” as in “all time.” Nice huh?
