Steelers Must Lose!
I meant to rip the Steelers all last week and never got around to it and, damn, if Felger didn't write the perfect anti-Steelers column today. Anyway,
My top three reasons for hating the Steelers:
1. The hair. Troy Polamalu's hair is some kinda cultural thing, but what happened to Ben Roethlisberger? He looks like he adopted Jake Plummer as his style icon. Get a friggin haircut.
2. The jabber. Joey Porter bitches before the Indy game about how Indy isn't a real team. This is after the Colts dismantled them on Monday Night Football. After the Steelers beat Indy he bitches how the refs wanted the Colts to win. Win or lose he's yapping. Dude, shut up already.
3. Cowher. The 'stache, the jaw, the spit flying out of his mouth. It all adds up to one big downer for me. He's like a cartoon version of a football coach and his only saving grace is that his teams lose in big games. If the Steelers win he'll have absolutely nothing going for him.
So now I'm stuck rooting for the Seahawks and they should be called the Owls because looking at their roster makes you say, "Who? Who?" I just know that Hasselbeck has been dying to revert to his Favre, Jr. mode and throw a couple killer interceptions and this is gonna be his game. Or maybe not. Maybe Seattle can win. No one knows.
But I do know that it will be a dark day when Cowher gets to lay his hands on the Super Bowl trophy.

auto repair 101
The most important thing to keep in mind when attempting to fix your car yourself is: let someone else fix your car. In an attempt to save some $$, I tried fixing my brakes myself. Let me emphasize how important brakes are: Brakes are very important. I am keenly aware of this now that I have gone from brakes that work, albeit noisily, to brakes that no longer work at all.
Now my sad-ass car sits in a garage where professionals try to suss the damage. I can only hope that repairing my repair costs less that it would to have had them do the repair in the first place. In the meantime, I ride the bus.
