DOG: Stillers 33, Cheatriots 10 - Game Notes

• Well, well. Seems when Billy B. doesn't have accurate surveilance he becomes far less of a genius. In fact, he looked more like the Notre Dame coach and the Cleveland Browns coach than Vince Lombardi.


• Matt Cassell however does look just like Tom Brady... gay.


• I would take the 15 yard penalty, and the inevitable fine coming from Roger GODdell every time, to knock out a little weasel like Wes Welker. My only question is, why did it take us 'til the second half to knock the piss out of him? Thank you, Ryan Clark!


• That Randy Moss is money. He looked like Jackie Smith in Super Bowl XIII. Dropping the sure TD in the end zone.


• The Silverback is by far the defensive player of the year in the NFL.


• I said back a few weeks ago I'd wait to see what the Stillers brought into Gillette Stadium before I made up my mind. My mind is now made up. We are riding! At least me and my dog (Dog's dog) Mattie are riding. Into the playoffs. Anybody want to join us?


• This is the first time since... well since he called for a QB bootleg on 3rd and 6 in the playoffs last year, that I watched an entire Steeler game without bitching incessantly about Bruce Arians.


• I like Mike Tomlin better with each passing week, win or lose.


• And for all you Tom Brady loving Patriots apologists among our 35 readers: I hope you wore your Patriots jerseys today with pride. You are every bit as pathetic as the Patriot "fans" who abandoned the stadium in the 3rd quarter and left the New England night air ringing with a resounding "Here We Go STEELERS! HERE WE GO!!" as CBS cut over to the Jets-Broncos game.


• Saddle up Stillers, we got some Cowboys to take care of next.

Silverback Red-Assed

Hmmm. Hey Denmark, do you smell something rotting? I have mixed feelings about this. I want to attack it from many angles. First and foremost, Peter (Steelers Hater) King posted an article the other day calling the Steelers hypocritical for cutting Cedric Wilson and keeping James Harrison. Let me address that first. If he or anyone else is suggesting the Steelers cut Harrison for his alleged offense - they should have their heads examined. Pacman Jones got someone shot and the Titans didn't cut him. He was suspended for a year and the Titans didn't cut him. Ray Lewis was up for murder charges and the Ravens didn't cut him! You almost have to go to jail before a team will cut you. Look at Chris Henry. Yes, he finally got cut, but after 37 offenses. Here's the straight poop - Cedric Wilson is a marginal player. He didn't get cut just because he popped his girlfriend....terrible as that may be. He was on the chopping block already and then screwed up and they just dropped the guillotine sooner. He was on his way out, peeps - true that. Plus - this wasn't his first offense! The police recently had a standoff at his house over a domestic dispute. For King not to mention that is huge. Also, King is suggesting that the Cowboys trading for Pacman is a good idea, so is he condoning Pacman's behavior? I am not condoning ANYTHING and neither did Dan Rooney, but Jesus people, wake up. You cannot compare walking into a bar, walking straight up to a girl and punching her in the face - to busting down a door, breaking a cell phone and (insert choice of story here - One account was a slap - One account was putting a hand on the face and pushing). He should have never laid a finger on her, but just from reading the reports, it's not like walking into a bar and punching a woman in front of witnesses. All that being said, I'm betting the chick is driving around in a Hummer this time next week - because if Harrison didn't make promises and pay her off to drop the charges, maybe somebody else......did? No matter how this story ends, James Harrison - the mighty Silverback - should be red-assed embarrassed. He should also watch his step. The Steelers may believe in second chances, they won't believe in thirds though. If someone gets into an argument with somebody and it turns to blows and one person dies, I do not equate that with someone who hides in the bushes and stalks a stranger, killing them and hacking them up into little pieces. Wow, ok, that's not fair either, but there are different levels of assault.

SilverBack Mad

I haven't read this on a news site yet, but a few blogs have posted that James Harrison was hauled in last night for simple assault and criminal mischief. Seems like he had a confrontation with the lady in his life, broke down a door, destroyed a cell phone. I'm sure the major Steeler sites will be posting what happened shortly.

I'm Bringin' Silver Back

As requested by Still A Dog (and rightly so), here is the link to Pro Bowl voting. James Harrison is listed for Outside Linebackers. Let's get him in. Spread the link!

"That's What You Would Call Excessive..."

I wonder how much of this we'll see this year since LBs were taken with the first two picks?

Fanboy Gets More Love

I sent this amazing picture to James "Silverback" Harrison with the caption "James Harrison - A New Fan Favorite - Meaner Than Lloyd?" and it promptly came back signed, personalized and dated....just the way I like them. It's a nice addition to my collection. Most of the authenticated items of his on Ebay are of him slamming the poor Browns' fan into the ground. It was too obvious to send him that picture and I like this one better anyway. What a complete streak of badasses we've had at linebacker. The linebacking group hasn't been without a badass since before the glory years. Just cince Cowher has been here we've had Lloyd, Kevin Greene, Chad Brown, Levon Kirkland, Earl Holmes, Kendrell Bell, Peezey and Harrison. I'm probably forgetting a few also. Inbetween Lambert and Cowher's crew they still had Mike Merriweather and Hardy Nickerson.

Harrison Good For 4 More Years

The Steelers made another fantastic move by resigning James Harrison to a 4 year deal worth $5.5 million dollars ($1.3 million signing bonus). That is a SUPERB contract, especially since he plays both inside and outside linebacker. He will be "the man" should any one of the starters get hurt this year. Better yet, when one of the starters reaches the end of their contract and wants paid a KAzillion dollars, James Harrison can step in and start and we shouldn't miss a beat. I've heard he is the meanest of all the linebackers and he dropped on draft day because of his knack for getting personal fouls called against him. Lambert, Lloyd, Porter......Harrison? We'll see.
