NFL week 7: Vikings at Steelers

Should be a good one on Sunday.

That last comment thread got so big, I thought maybe we should start the new one early.

NFL Week 6: Browns at Steelers

That was not a pretty win. Steelers appear to have all kinds of problems.

Respect the Towel

Sean Leahy notes for the USA Today that the Titans have not won since the infamous descration.

In other news, Aaron Smith to the IR looks like a wise decision to me. Get well Aaron.

Withdrawal symptoms

Please describe what weirdness, if any, you feel in this week without baseball, 2009 Pirates-style.

Game 160: Pirates at Reds

Pirates need a win to avoid the 100-loss season.

Tonight at seven it is McCutchen and Lehr.

Game 159: Pirates at Cubs

Pirates up 3-0. If my math is trusty, a win today would clinch a no-100-loss season.

Game 155: Dodgers at Pirates

Final home game of the year. The Dodgers will try again to clinch their division with a win today.

Spike said it best: "Not in our empty house!"

Kuroda and Duke at twelve-thirty.

Game 153: Dodgers at Pirates

Maholm and Wolf at seven. After receiving the biggest and shiniest bunting ribbon, the International Bunting Champion gets to sing back-up vocals on a Foreigner set - in their native language! ジュークボックスの英雄!

Game 152: Dodgers at Pirates

Garland and Karstens at seven. To protect the integrity of the travesty and to capitalize on G-20, the Bucs should just start billing the games not as baseball contests, but as stunts such as "The International Bunting Olympics". They could bring up and field a team of Rinku, Dinesh, Gift, Starling, Yoslan, the New Zealander, the North Pole kid, and that Easter Island guy. A resigned Kuwata could pitch. Everybody bunts, whoever gets on base the most wins. In the short term, the Bucs could really benefit by acquiring a market of people who didn't understand the real rules of this game of baseball.
