Week 15 Recap: Steelers Humiliated, Towel Desecrated

It ended with Lendale White stomping a mudhole in the Terrible Towel.

Week 13 Recap: He Didn’t Even Bring Jessica

Memo to Fox Sports:  Never let Troy Aikman broadcast his former team again.
During the third quarter of the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-13 dismantling of the Dallas Cowboys, I sat in stunned silence as Aikman made the absolutely ridiculous claim that the Dallas defense was outplaying the Steelers top ranked unit.  What game was he watching?  Maybe [...]

Week 13 Preview: Steelers vs. Cowboys

Strippers beware! Hide your tassels and clear plastic shoes ‘cause Pacman and his Dallas Cowboys are coming to town.
