Another new feature for the new year: the Mondesi's House poll, which will be seen on the right sidebar. It's just a basic question that is the hot-button issue of the moment. Considering all that I've heard about the Steelers today is how they will stink in 2008, our first question: how many games will the '08 Steelers win? I know there's endless variables that will happen between now and then (to name a few: free agency losses and additions, the draft, training camp, injuries, opponents/schedule, division strength, etc), but it's your typical knee-jerk analysis that I love to witness.
--The Pitt Panthers, sans 40% of their starting lineup, evened up their Big East record to 1-1 with a 79-66
win over South Florida. Sam Young scored 22, Keith Benjamin added 20, and no Panthers were injured in the process.
--Terry Bradshaw is retiring from Fox...
in 2011.
--Very entertaining post from the Post-Gazette's Blog and Gold with
reader thoughts on the Steelers, ranging from signing Jamal Lewis to not being sold on their 10-win, division champion rookie coach, and closing with two classic Steeler cliches from a PG reader in Florida: "The only guarantee's on this team should be the unwritten ones: 1. We will run the ball down your throat 2. We will stop the run and punish your quarterback"
--Side note: why is the city of Pittsburgh's "blue-collar work ethic" so synonymous with a bruising rushing attack? Is there another city defined by a style of offense? Is Indianapolis filled with white-collar folks who enjoy a well-crafted, precision aerial attack?
--Tyler Hansbrough looks pretty scared to cover 7'7" Kenny George from UNC-Asheville in
this pic.
--Jim Tressel's motivational DVD worked, and THE Ohio State University shocked the world by blowing out LSU in the
BCS Championship...if it were held on
Bizarro World.
--Great news, WVU fans: Steve Slaton is staying! Wait, Steve Slaton still played for WVU? Did he suit up in the Backyard Brawl? Must've been a redshirt year.
--Joe Gibbs is out in Washington. Bill Cowher, I'd be waiting for your caller ID to display "D SNYDER" in about 10 seconds.
--Here's the final conference-by-conference bowl records for this season. Another impressive showing by the Big TenLeven. If you consider 3-5 impressive.
--Girls Gone Sports recaps the entire Steeler season in one neat and tidy post.
--Pitt got a football commit in that game where guys play "which hat am I going to pick". Here's the video.
--Jags D-lineman Paul Spicer says the Pats should be disqualified from the playoffs for Spygate, just like an NCAA penalty. While I disagree with Spicer, I think that they should at least lose a few scholarships.
--Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee play He Said-He Said. I'll tell you what I Said: I'm tired of stories about Roger Clemens, Brian McNamee, steroids, HGH, and The Mitchell Report.
--Breaking news:
Hannah Montana is a fake. I'm just as shocked as you are. Reportedly, she's considering suing Brian McNamee too.

Jessica Simpson = Yoko Ono. So I guess that means Tony Romo is the football equivalent of one of the greatest musicians of all time, no?

Ohio State is the college football version of the Buffalo Bills, only the Buckeyes have a much higher payroll.
Zanzabar, i said the exact same thing today. Sure, they beat OSU a few yrs ago on a BS pass interference call, but any school who loses 2 FB and 1 BB title game in a span of 365 days is LOSER CENTRAL in my opinion.
