With the first pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Steelers Select... (NFL Pool, Week 9)

So, I'd like to thank the Steelers for killing any hope of making the playoffs with last week's "game". I'm saying that sincerely, too. Usually sports teams will mess with their fans, flirting with rising above the mediocrity line, giving the regular fan hope that things might turn out okay in the end. See 1981-2006 Phillies. Not so with the Steelers.

How long until the Pirates report to training camp?

That's a dangerous proposition if you're looking forward to the 2007 Pirates.

Let's not get carried away. CU Lions is the only Pirate fan. You will recall that I like my soul-crushing defeats from the Phillies.

As for the Steelers, the only thing worse than losing to the Raiders will be if they rally just enough to be competitive for a playoff spot and then choke it away.
