A ruptured spleen could be bad for a week or two...exactly how much time Ben has. God help him, he might need healing.
I think we have three weeks before the first game. Yoi, double yoi.
Hey, I'll tell you one "funny" thing I'm finding out after this game. I've heard about six different sportcasters on these Pittsburgh call-in shows. They are arrogant and smart-*ss with the callers more than ever. They seem to think that this Steeler success has something to do with them. I'm beginning to hate a few of these pompous athlete wannabe *ssholes, Myron Cope NOT one of them! Myron is GREAT!
One guy called in with a very interesting possible way to assess that 15 yard personal foul penalty on Ben (that was the last play of the scoring drive).
As the rule is now, the 15 yards is assessed on the next kickoff. So the team kicking gets to move the ball up 15 yards, generally resulting in a kick into the endzone (a touchback) and the ball automatically brought out to the 20. This caller had a great idea, I thought. He thought that wasn't much of a penalty to the team penalized. He suggested to the sportsdweeb that the kicking team kick from the same place as usual, but take 15 yards off where the kickoff was returned. I sort of like that. Yet this spastic, arrogant pussified sports reporter put him down, laughed at him, joked that he should get out more, quit thinking so much, etc.
I swear, these jock-sniffers are most always a group of pencil-necked dweebs. The one on KDKA-TV directly after the game is the most arrogant and pompous, he could use a knuckle sandwich or two.
By the way, 60 'Too Many' Minutes, on in a few minutes on SeeBS, may just have a decent show tonight. Stories on the great singer Ray Charles and the Patriot's Coach Belichick are included. Should be better than the usual bull.
