Well, I found out about this week’s game through the Post-Gazette. I think you can email Ed Bouchette from his column…he’ll probably have the inside scoop every week. I think it’s an awesome addition to your Friday column! Keep up the good work buddy.

Ha! I never thought of including the refs in Know Thy Enemy but, you’re right, they are as much a threat as the team across the field. That’s a pretty good idea.

Where does one find the crews assigned each game?

And you’re absolutely right about Pittsburgh. Leave it to the Baltimorons to try and compare their decaying urban hellhole to the Most Livable, Friendliest, unemployment HALF the national average modern city of the future that is ‘The Burgh.

Jason, you really don’t want to open up that can of worms. Baltimore has suffered an aggregate population loss in every decade since 1950. According to your beloved Wikipedia:

“In the 1990s, the US Census reported that Baltimore ranked as one of the largest population losers alongside Detroit and Washington D.C., losing over 84,000 residents between 1990 and 2000.” And lost another 2% of its population since…because your city can support its citizens.

Not that any of this has to do with football, but don’t forget that because Baltimore is the poster child for everything that is dysfunctional about American cities it was the setting for two of the greatest crime dramas of the past 20 years and yest still they couldn’t attract viewers. Why? Because its Baltimore and no one gives a shit.

First off…Baltimore is a shithole. Total shithole. Everybody knows that who has ever left the city/and or visited. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, is often held-up in urban planning classes as an example of how post-industrial cities should be designed to thrive and survive and our beloved city has done just that.

Second, Chris – I read your “know thy enemy” blogs every week. Can I make a suggestion? Please add info on the officiating crew as well. As they are now part of the obstacle for us winning games.

This week, we’re up against Peter Morelli. Yes, that Peter Morelli. The guy who overturned Troy’s obvious interception against the Colts in 2006 in the AFC divisional game. You know, the one that cost us the game, and handed it to the Colts? That’s who we’re up against this weekend. Him, and the Jets of course.
