In the Grasp


The Steelers were about 6 minutes away from posting a 6-1 record.Did I mention it was about 6 minutes?

With the Steelers ahead after a New York Giants field goal by the score of 14-12,The wheels started,And completely fell off.For some odd reason LB James Harrison was picked to do the long snapper duty(why??)Harrison,Who is more well known for this



Snapped the ball,And it proceeded to fly over the head of a already injured Mitch Berger rolling across the back line of the end zone to make the score 14-14 Steelers
The question I cannot get out of my head?Why in the hell was James Harrison elected long snapper?Why would you not use center Justin Hartwig,Or backup Darnell Stapleton?

Of course they wouldn't have been in that position,Had they actually protected QB Ben Rothlisberger,There may not be a need to use a LB to snap a ball.


Maybe the next time your QB cries about wanting a tall WR, You'll just ignore him,And get a linesman who can actually block said QB.This was a huge concern going into this season,With the loss of Center Allen Faneca,The Steelers should have done the smart thing,Not worry about picking up a WR.Pick up a guard to block the QB,So he actually has time to get the ball down field to a WR.The schedule does not get any easier,Next up for the black and gold,A Monday night trip to visit the Redskins



Ohio State matched Penn State for 3 quarters last night,But 1 bad play would make the difference in this very good defensive game.Terrelle Pryor,Trying to make the 1ST down,Saw an opening on the right side,and only had 1 man to beat.Problem was,The 1 man met him at the line,Causing a fumble that rolled into Penn States hands .The Lions would go on to score,and make it 13-6.This loss takes Ohio State out of the Big Ten,And BCS title picture.Pretty much all I will say about that game.If you want a more in depth review,This is place

Since it looks like I'll have free time next few days,I will be doing a few posts. Bear with me,I am trying to find some very entertaining things
