There should be some eager eyes on tonight's Monday Night matchup between the Steelers and Ravens. It's a good thing too, because I can't think of a good reason to watch that game, otherwise.
All three matchup are close enough to depend on this last game of the week to set the record straight. The instant the ball is kicked off, the Lawyers will jump ahead of the hopeful Baxterminators. The battle will then begin as each will jockey for position: Baxter hoping to gain points from Hines Ward and Merritt hoping the Baltimore defense doesn't lose points (& strips Ward on his way to the end zone).
Burket is betting on his childhood rooting interests and a better than average performance from Ben Rothlesberger, as he hopes for a 15+ point effort against the classic defense of the Ravens. The Graffawgs will sit tonight out, preferring to work on their time machine, so as to go back in time and recover some of the many points left on their bench this week.
The Dynamite will be looking for a big night from the Baltimore offense as Sheik has Matt Stover kicking tonight. I'll also be hoping that Hines Ward isn't double teamed, so as Big Ben will target him more than Santonio Holmes. Either way, it's not
looking favorable for the Dynamite, as we're up against the red hot Sandmen.
So gather all your rowdy friends and prepare yourself for the game you wouldn't have interest in otherwise. If for no other reason, we can track the number of times Kornheiser looks lovingly into Jaworski's eyes.

Dear Donovan, WTF? Seriously. I know it is too much to ask for you to throw a TD pass, but do you have to throw picks at the end of the game too? You didn't even throw the ball downfield. Instead you locked eyes with your wideout and gazed longingly into them as he ran a lazy slant. You were so enamored that you failed to notice the DB right in front of you face. You are a piece of crap. Philly is going to plastic bag itself, scoop you up, and deposit you in the nearest receptacle if you keep this up. You're lucky you weren't booed, there were only 10 people left at that game in the end.
Dynamite, your TE survived a near decapitation and then almost sealed your victory by rumbling bumbling and stumbling down the sideline. Then he remembered he was a really slow TE. Too bad.
Everyone, my QB controls your destinies. Please send bribes ASAP and I will pass them along.
Few minutes into the first quarter: rain is coming down, wind is blowing.
Could it be? Perfect conditions for a defensive game! It would nice to pull this out after starting a wideout that had been deactivated.
Here's hoping that the Shade's quarterbacks go oh for two.
!@$!#%
Double !@$!#%
