Review Corner
I'm in hormonal confusion today. My wife has purchased the BBC adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice" and we are following the romantic and personal trials of the five sisters. 'Tis a lovely literary repast which does speak to the pedant in me. To compensate, I will watch the football playoffs.
It has been a most meritorious drive, Mister Darcy. But as it remains third and long after that willful and obstreperous holding call, I daresay if Coach Shanahan does not implement the draw, or send Mister Plummer onto the bootleg, I shall be most aggrieved!
Go Broncos!

That's a disappointment. While the Broncos played poorly, that was an almost perfect game from the Steelers side.
The Steelers are a classy outfit. I salute them and wish them well in Super Bowl XL.

I'm afraid that Jake just couldn't resist the idea that he needed to do more than just his own, regular job to beat the "woooo, scary" Steelers.
I've had a place in my heart for Pittsburgh since they started drafting so many of my Buffaloes, but my money will be on Seattle in XL.

Posted by: AlexC at January 23, 2006 10:53 AMI'm an AFC guy and I think that this Steeler team is for real. When you force two great teams to play poorly in two successive weeks, you're doing something right. I credit Mike Gower's superior preparation more than I'd cite Peyton Manning or Jake Plummer for failure.
