I was pondering life, the Universe and Steelers Suck.

whilst pondering, found this little article:

NOVEMBER 9, 2006
New Uses for Steelers Sundays
Get off the couch before the next Steelers drive sputters out

BY JOHN MCINTIRE

The season is over. You get that, don't you? The Steelers season. Mathematically, I'm sure they have a theoretical shot. Here in Realityville, where I try to live whenever possible, they're as much toast as Rick Santorum. The Post-Gazette ran an interesting piece comparing the Steelers this year and the New England Patriots the year after they won their first Super Bowl. Long story short, both sucked the big wazoo in year two. But the Patriots won it all again the following year.

So take heart, obsessive Black and Gold compatriots: There may be a light at the end of the tunnel, and it may not be the train coming down the track. Except this year. This year, it's definitely the train.

No one could have foreseen the train wreck that is Large Benjamin this year. Hit by a car, not his fault. Well, maybe it was, but [censored] happens. Emergency appendectomy, that's got to be a little disconcerting at minimum. Then a concussion on the field. Let's just take him out back and beat the crap out of him, for chrissakes.

It is undoubtedly a lesson in humility for Humongous Benjamin, and the rest of us as well. But let me suggest something, just as an experiment. If I've learned anything in life, I've learned this: Time is precious. And when you waste it, you've just screwed yourself. Because there's only so much of it to go around, and when it's gone, it's really gone.

So what I'm saying is, you could consider actually devoting some of your Sunday to doing something productive, instead of drinking yourself into a stupor and eating yourself into a new pants size for four hours minimum. At least, this year.

Here's the thing. The city is often crowded and congested, and even with the reduced population it's sometimes a big pain in the ass to get around. But have you ever driven around the city on Steelers game day? It's freaking fantastic.

So you could go grocery-shopping. Or clothes-shopping. Or shopping for whatever it is you've been meaning to purchase.

Have you ever seen the city parks during the Steelers game? Green grass. Fresh air. And nobody else is there. I don't want to get all crazy on your butt, but instead of stuffing your face with enough wings and kielbasa to choke a small herd of elephants, you could -- I don't know -- get some exercise. You know, like, walk or jog or something. Imagine losing weight instead of gaining it. It could be the next big thing.

I'm sure you never have enough time to read. Presto-chango, I grant you three to five extra hours to read a magazine, a book or, God forbid, a newspaper. You need a nap? Snooze the Sunday afternoon away. Is there an annoying family member whom you must call and spend much more time with on the phone than you can possibly stand? At least you've got some extra time to do it.

I'm not suggesting you completely abandon your beloved Stillers. I'm in the tank just like you. I spend a minimum of three hours every Sunday yelling at the boob tube, especially if the good guys are losing. I'm suddenly an expert. "Ben looks terrible. Does Ricardo catch the freaking ball with his neck? Cowher isn't into it, he's outta here."

Yes, I have all the trite, predictable observations of the fan who knows nothing. And yet I watch. And I obsess. And I discuss. Because in Pittsburgh, somebody leaves a pod by your bed, and the body-snatchers are wearing black and gold.

Rake the leaves, clean out your closet, have actual sexual intercourse with your significant other (cousin), or with somebody. Stand on your head. Play tiddlywinks. Does anyone still play tiddlywinks? You could look it up -- ya got three extra hours.

Even though you don't want to be a fair-weather fan, it's actually OK to recognize reality. To live in the real world is not necessarily a bad thing. The Pittsburgh Steelers were a blast last year, and this year they're blowing up. Next year, they may be so embarrassed that they win it all again. But for now, call your mother. I know, it's one giant guilt trip. But you've got three extra hours.

Watching Star Trek NG and Picard agrees, the steelers suck.

I heard a rumor Ben only has one fan left in the Squeel city..........



Poor Ben..................

We never knew you were dating a Steeler fan. Thanks for sharing that with the class. That's cool...I have a new found respect for you, Pit.

No, actually I never had any respect for you to being with, but anywhooo....

She has a few pounds to shed, but hey, that's gotta be better than Cleveland's sloppy chicks. Am I right? <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

I'm sitting in class, listening to the prof. talk about god knows what, when I realized something... The Steelers still suck.

You're a Squeeler fan. You're never right.

I'm getting bored.

That will happen when a sub species tries to engage with people.

That one wasn't half bad. I'll give it a 6.5 <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

That being said........the steelers still suck.

Well Christy you do realize it's almost 8 PM on tuesday night, and the Steelers still make Linda Lovelace look like a damn rookie <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

If you saw the movie you will remember what what I am talking about <img src="/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />

You mean the Steelers sucking?

Just got done with a test and the steelers still suck.

Yep, I woke up, got some coffee, finished some sales, and had time to ponder this. Yep, they still suck.

Holy Crap, the Steelers Suck!

Just checking in......they're still sucking, I see.

Just got back from a company meeting...

Sales are Up, Steelers Suck & Costs are Down.

The latest version of law review out here in Toledo has established both topics on the complexities in patent law, and the most important issue of the Steelers completely sucking...

BTW, doesn't it feel really good that saying this actually carries some weight!

I live in Oregon, and the issue of the steelers sucking applies out here in the 'burbs, also.

Michigan Sucks!!!





Oh wait... wrong thread...



Pittsburgh Sucks!!!

I just got back from working out, and the buzz around the gym is that the best way to blast your quads is to realize that the Steelers suck.

I had my iTunes on shuffle and "Pittsburgh Sucks" started playing. So I guess Apple knows it's true that Pittsburgh still sucks.

Erie city council won't raise taxes and they also said the steelers suck.

Looks like OJ is a steelers fan too so he also sucks has much has the steelers.

He must feel some affinity towards them since they "got away with one" too. Steelers Suck.

LOL!!!

Steelers Suck.

Dean Cain, on Ripley's Believe It or Not, says Steeler suck.

Unbelieveable? Believe it!

I had an interview on Tuesday for a new job, they asked me "Who do you think sucks?".

I said "Steelers".

I received an offer letter today at lunchtime.

So you Attend Romper Room every day then <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

You should know he doesn't. You would have seen him when you were there looking for a date to the annual "Steelers fans square dance and tooth hunt."
