Steeler Week 1

[Big Virgil]

OK- it looks like I'm going to cave-in and go to the baseball game with the fam.  The game starts here at 11:00 and we won't need to leave the house until about 12:15, so I'll get at least halfway through the 2nd qtr.  I can prolly watch the rest of the game before the Sunday night game starts.

we get the great choice of the Bungles vs. the Pats and the Panthers at the Giants, woo hoo!

That's what we get.  And hell, the Falcons are a "local" team for us!  To the bar, Geeves!

Yeep, but unfortunately the Panthers are more "local."  - by about 50 miles, plus they are "Carolina" Panthers, so partially our state team too theoretically.   

Bad week for that.  Steelers need to be defending champs more often.  Got so many games last year almost cancelled Ticket anyway regardless of price.  But figured that wouldn't last.

we got lucky, the game was on Fox!! the bourbon was a lot cheaper at home.

Game ended early. No stop time in the 2nd half, seeing we were getting smoked. Got home in time to watch the 4th quarter online.

Otis jr.'s stat line?

Otis jr.'s stat line?

Well, they lost 34-0, so there's not much for stats. I think they'll mostly be playing teams that have kids that have already been playing for a year or two.

He caught a screen pass...then was immediately gang tackled.
Had one decent run...the rest, he was met in the backfield.
One nice tackle where he miraculously took a good angle from across the field and tackled a guy on the sideline.
And one tackle to keep them out of the EZ on a conversion. That's why it was 34 and not 35 

Even though they were torched, he had a great time. And he's not playing soccer. I can't complain.

You should buy the kid a pair of skates.

Here? Don't think so. Now if we were back home, sure.

There's no ice time in St. Louis?  C'mon man.
