Having money in your hand is no excuse for being a jagoff, n'at. I have money. Does that mean I can be boorish and rude?

Thats your opinion of the people but you still take their money to support yourself. Do whatever you like but if you don't like the people you work/deal with find another line of work. Pretty simple.

Yep, because the economy is sizzling right now. It's red-hot.

Then be thankful for what you do get. Less sports, less events, less fans, less orders, less money. Better service=more money overall. Some pay better than others is all.

Me too. I especially like it when they flip out and destroy their own personal property.

The fact that the Steelers are still alive for the playoffs entering the final week of the regular season after such a disastrous start is testament to the resilience of the team, as far as I'm concerned. They started 0-4, and are 7-4 since. And this is the happiest I've been about the state of the offense since 2007. In the draft, find a tall WR at some point; otherwise, focus on the defense.

Where does that happen?

Sounds like the Bud Light commercials or perhaps in West Virginia after their games?

Unlike Pitt fans, us Mountaineers burn things properly. We're professionals when it comes to celebratory arson (unfortunately, we had few excuses for DIY bonfires this year).

I break things all the time during sporting events. All humans are violent creatures to some degree, and all of us have different means of releasing our aggression. Personally, I think throwing my keys against the wall when Jeff Locke gives up three runs in the first inning is as harmless an avenue of violent output as anything else.

All yunz "Oh, sports are for boorish slobs, I have better things to do with my time, like watch NCISIWSJAG and go buy useless shiny plastic things at the mall" folks can bugger off.

Go Stillers, Beat the Hell Outta the Brownies!

With the players, err minor leaguers the Pirates are signing these days, and the present players/minor leaguers theyre apparently going to put on the field, there's gonna be lots of key marks on the walls next year. I definitely don't have high hopes.

Although, the below average Steelers, due to the weakness of the AFC in general, has a team with a possible 8-8 record in position to make the playoffs so anything's possible.

Agreed, Go Stillers!!!

discuss!
I am exited but I also know how slim the possibilites are. Right now I just take it one game at a time and pray for the best each time. I'm not one of those Steelers fans who is a fair weathered fan though. I'm with them through thick and thin no matter what.
