#1 D, right?
Even LT couldn’t cry his way through that d-line.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

If only My Bloody Valentine 3D was a live show by the band

I just wonder if there are 3-D boobs in that movie.
If so, I’m there.

Yeah, that was ugly

Agreed.
I torrented XL the other week and re-watched the misery, but it didn’t seem like any of the calls were intentional. Just shameful incompetence.

On the flight home
after a few hours of total silence, my cousin looks over at me and just says “rigged”.
Even after the game I didn't think it was actually fixed
I did however break a few items in my house and probably said some awful things about Bill Levy’s family.
I swore off ever watching the NFL again
The loss was one thing, but watching the team getting screwed again and again…now I just think it was a crappily officiated game that kind of screwed both teams.
I've talked to Steelers fans
and a lot were just as disgusted. They said it felt dirty and I guess I’d feel the same.
I almost feel bad for the Steelers fans* in 2005
They had a great season, and it does seem like their win was tainted in a way.
- The fans that aren’t completely obnoxious and ignorant.
Yeah, but you know they don't care.
After a week or so, the pundits defending Seattle had moved on to other news.

Without getting too existentialist here
Winning wrong would, long term, feel so, so much worse than losing wrong. It would be like something great hollowed out and filled with shit.
Yeah, I know I would feel that way.
I remember thinking before the game “If we lose, that sucks, but let it be a good game.”
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

In all honesty I probably said it was fixed multiple times, but I never actually believed it.
I went home and watched the Jay Feely game that night, made me feel a lot better.
I was extremely sick with a bad stomach virus for the game.
All I could do was lie on the couch in silence and agony, sipping my 7-up.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

I don't think the game was actually fixed...
But I will always hate the Steelers and Bill Leavy. There were a lot of poor calls, and a lot of undue praise for Roethlisberger.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

Wouldnt it be nice
if Pitt made the SB then got reff raped to lose to Philly? Id love that.
Bringin' the outside heat.
As long as Pittsburgh loses, I'm game.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

Pittsburgh losing isn't enough
They need to lose the game on a terrible officiating call. I wish they were the Titans yesterday.
Yeah, like a helmet-over-the-line touchdown.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

I prefer a blowout
That’s the worst. Instead of feeling robbed, fans feel crushed. Like their team was never very good to begin with.
Ah yes, seeing the Steelers crushed
Hawaii Sugar Bowl style.
Excellent.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

SD vs Philly
That’s what I’m looking for.
by aerozeppelin on Jan 11, 2009 3:18 PM PST up reply actions
Another very well executed play.
I doubt I’m saying something new, but Pittsburgh are the real deal.
More so than any team I’ve seen this weekend.
I still want SD to win.
Look at that
McDonald’s targets white people and reinforces my utter disgust and disdain for it and its product. Now that Nugnuts commercial—that’s art.
what? how did I miss a white targeting mcdonalds commercial?
I saw Wendy’s just do that?
Argh the things I miss when I go outside
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
chicken and waffle fries
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
is that so unforgivable?
i love that shit
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
missed chance for a liter of cola
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I still can't get over the fact that Arizona is in the NFC Championship.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!
I'm not sure if I want them to do well so when we stomp them next year its more glorious...
or have them fail again so their psyches are still permanently damaged.
after having written that out, definitely the latter
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
and of course have the spirit of Jesus deny him the rights to heaven right there in the stadium
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
LOL
I’d prefer Roethlisberger, Ward, and Parker get that fate.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!
by Wayward Llama on Jan 11, 2009 3:35 PM PST up reply actions
I mean it just blows my mind.
If they go to the Super Bowl, I’ll be speechless.
Though, how long was this coming? Years of high draft picks, finally getting some decent coaching, playing in the NFC west, etc..
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

"They weren't just protecting Ben Roethlisberger, they were knocking defenders down"
Are they allowed to do that?
that was a great grab.
why don’t they throw to miller more?
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
i was loud enough apparently
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I didn't realize FG was collectively rooting for the Chargers. Why?
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
XL? probably
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
XL
And I detest the Steelers.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

ugh Ward is awful.
I hate his smirking ass. He’s filthy and knows it.

Damn SD.
Thou dost not want to be down the cursed score of 21-10 vs Pittsburgh.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!
YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS BICHES!
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I refuse to get near that picture. Terrifying
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Hey look! It's the playoffs and LT is wearing a jacket and a hat on the sideline!
What a complete surprise! I did NOT expect that
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
MIGHTY MIGHT POWER
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
JFC... you have to be kidding me
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
He has no choice.
and also no brain.
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
This game is over if the steelers get the ball back
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I like when the commentator says it's a good challenge because it's a high leverage situation
I think it’s a good challenge if there’s evidence that it will be overturned.
Why is howie long such an asshole?
and why is Chevy picking on reasonable features on other trucks and mocking them just because their trucks dont have them?
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I'd post the image here, but it's just wrong.
Go google image “tailpipe man”
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
oh god. That's .. well what that is is the most impressive recognition by someone ever. Whoever is looking at that chick thinking... Homer...
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Why are you posting pictures of Mrs. Brian Russell
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
no way. what you should get is a man dressed in women's clothing engaged in carnal affairs with the tailpipe of a range rover
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!

where did the bad ford fiesta touch you john?
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I didn't want to be that boner that came in late on something you guys had been talking about for an hour
Dan Quinn of the Jets – d-line
Joe Barry – linebackers
Don’t know a thing about ’em
so we don't get marinelli, but we get his daughters husband? terrific
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
YOU BETTER ASK SOMEBODY
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
can't advance that ball
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
OT
I stopped watching the game since I hate both teams and I hate the AFC and football when the Seahawks aren’t playing anymore.
‘The Big Bang Theory’ is hilarious, absolutely love it. Like an adults freaks and geeks so far.
Yeah, I'm not watching the stadium full of douchebags celebrating.
Sigh.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

SMIRE TIME
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
put Sproles at safety
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
wow that is a big play if laserface can move the ball
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
This is a tiny insignificant piece of equipment on someone elses car.
It sucks massive donkey dick. but CHEVY! you want an american vehicle. Trust me, I’m a douchebag stil rocking a flat top even though it’s 2009
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
So, apropos of nothing
I watching Sopranos fourth season last night and Chrissy was slapping the shit out of Adriana and I had to shut it off. Great show, sometimes bad, sometimes unwatchable ugly.
The Wire. All the drama, all the drugs, no italians
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
He slapped her a lot, and he was like 5 seconds away from choking her to death.
Healthy relationship.
The show lives on making bad people human and dies when it makes humans monsters.
4th season kind of sucks.
It had trouble recovering from Livia's death
It spun its wheels in third season and then just got unrelentingly ugly in the fourth season. I think it regained its traction eventually.
The
Wire
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Does it get better after the first few episodes?
It seemed really stilted at first, and I had trouble getting past that.
yeah. One of the bigest problems is the number of characters to learn at the beginning.
It is a very good show overall
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Hey LT hows that sideline? good? Howie Long thinks you're a faggot
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Long, whispering softly:
oh run your hands through my flat top. yeah you like that. lets go test the legroom in the Chevy Fuckuinox. mmm, your groin is tender.
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Dielman, man I remember being positive he was gonna be a Hawk
All the signs pointed to him signing with us.
and him just manipulating Ruskell to get a huge contract back home.
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

TELL ME WHO YOU'RE WORKING FOR!
I stopped watching 24 in season 5 when it jumped the shark. I would participate in a 24 drinking game however.
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Done
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

I always expect to see Holmgren in that hot air balloon
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
What time is Bauer-a-thon on the west cost?
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Shouldn't LT be enjoying a heaping bowl of lean meat protein Campbell's chunky vomit?
WOW how was that not picked embarassing
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
It's because he's half-Korean, isn't it?

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
If the Steelers play the Cards in the Super Bowl,
I’ll take you all golfing and we’ll get piss drunk
I don't golf, but I do get piss drunk.
come do your golfing here in sunny california. it’s fucking WARM
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I have a good short game, but if you take me to a driving range you'll notice I slice worse than OJ
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
tip your waitress
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
It’s just sinking in how much I hate the Steelers. So far, 2009 is a continuation of 2008.
Darren Sproles is a fucking freak
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
it's almost like he's a real person.
what a cute little guy
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
lol reminds me of how Forsett was described
It's great to be a Florida Gator!

I'm Eli Manning, and these are the only people who don't pick of my passes.
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
a sobering fact
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I think the difference in Ravens-Steelers III...
…could be the unbalanced line. The Ravens got it up to about 30 percent of their plays late in the season. It seems like a portable strategy that would work well against any defense when you have power runners like they do.
As for XL, I don’t think it was “fixed”, per se, but I do believe it was slanted. I think that there are times when a crew is asked to call one team tighter than the other, and Dan Rooney was heavily involved in the brokering of the new CBA and the Tagliabue-Goodell transition around that time. He’s as old-guard as it gets, and I do honestly believe the overall tings of the officiating reflected that.
