The fact that this is the Bengals though tells me that the trade won't end up being as good as it should be for them. Now they'll just bungle two first round picks next year instead of one.

The lack of a cap last year helped Green Bay replace players who were injured. This year will be a lot harder to repeat that depth if injuries set in.

What's the deal with Cashman's head in that Deadspin pic?

Braun is 0-for-1. I let him get two hits and then walk him the rest of his at-bats. Fuck that guy. EDIT: Nevermind, we won't have to. He screwed himself. No batting title for Braun.

Actually that was a perfect call. Awful rule, but a perfect call. It does not have to be helmet contact if the receiver is defenseless. And Moss was the NFL definition of defenseless on that play. Good call. Terrible rule. uh...pretty sure he wasn't. For him to be defenseless it had to be a hit from behind which wasn't the case here. I don't have the rule book open but I'm pretty sure the ESPN crew mentioned the same thing last night. Yeah that is 100% false. Never assume the Monday Night Football crew is right about anything. They fucking suck.

I'm not concerned long term at all. Just this season. We're at an awkward point where guys like Aaron Smith and Hines Ward look like they might've hung on one year too long. And young guys like Lawrence Timmons and LaMarr Woodley have done absolutely nothing thus far. On offense the biggest problem is the offensive line. Roethlisberger's stats are better when he's in the pocket. But with that O-Line he can't stay in the pocket. Not only that but the Steelers offense is based on 2 TE sets but with that awful O-Line, they have to leave TEs in to chip and block a lot and it effects the rest of the offense. If they fix the O-Line they have one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL with a WR corps that rivals any team in the league. Hopefully the injury to Jonathan Scott keeps him out long enough to force the Steelers to go with a line of Marcus Gilbert - Chris Kemoeatu - Maurkice Pouncey - Ramon Foster - Trai Essex. It's not great, but it'll give Ben a chance to throw from the pocket. As for the defense, assuming Jason Worilds pans out they're pretty much set defensively for the forseeable future. They need to focus on building a real offensive line to protect the future of the franchise.

That game last night proves what Steelers fans have been saying about Roethlisberger all along. Without him, we're fucked. How he manages to pull games out of his ass at the end with atrocious O-Lines I'll never know. Freeney may have saved the Steelers season if Jonathan Scott was severely injured on that play. Once Scott and Doug Legursky came out, the O-Line wasn't too bad. Those two guys are absolutely atrocious and it's embarrassing that someone in the Steelers coaching staff thinks Scott is a legitimate player in this league, let alone a starting left tackle. Forget Dwight Freeney, he couldn't even block Mr. Feeny. He fucking sucks. Normally you wouldn't want to try and force a team with a QB as good as Roethlisberger to throw on you, but the Steelers O-Line is so bad that if the Steelers run on first down, and you sell out to stop it, it plays into your hands on 3rd and long because you can tee off on the QB. The Steelers' gameplan wasn't really wise either, after the first two scoring drives they ran the ball on first down 15 times, playing right into the Colts' hands. I'm so sick of this "establish the run" bullshit that Art Rooney II wants to see. Your best player is your QB, you don't take the ball out of his hands to run into a brick wall. Not if you want to win anyway. But if the Steelers had a decent O-Line they could pass to open up the run. But the O-Line sucks and they can't do either. This season is looking a LOT like the Super Bowl season of 2008, but with a worse defense. I'm not too confident right now. This team has a LOT of problems and they don't correct at least half of them soon, this season is going to be a failure.

Also, I assume this makes Vick the first person to ever get two $100 million contracts.

---- As for Vick, that's insane. Does anyone know how much of that is guaranteed?

Was at Heinz Field for the Batman filming yesterday. It was awesome. Lots of cameo appearances in our scene and lots of chaos. I tried to piece together the plot of the film based on our scene that we shot and the trailer that we were shown, I think it's going to be really really good. Can't wait to see if I got in the film or not.

I can't believe the Pirates are above .500 and competing for the NL Central with a lineup this awful. Their pitching staff looks even better when you realize how awful their hitters are. Pitching coach Ray Searage is the team MVP easily.

Apparently he might be the back-up plan in case they fail to sign Jarmon Bushrod. Either way, I would love to see Willie Colon end up in Chicago.

01. Clutch 02. Metallica 03. Zach Brown Band 04. Amos Lee 05. The Company Band 06. Darius Rucker 07. Anthrax 08. Government Mule 09. Danzig 10. Lionize 11. Ray Lamontagne 12. Corrosion Of Conformity 13. Foo Fighters 14. Cee-Lo Green 15. Cake

Plaxico Burress will meet with the Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin on Friday. Also, rumors are that Chicago wants Willie Colon. I pray to the football Gods that they sign him immediately.

What's even worse was that I had to work that game. Six hour plus games are tedious and mentally draining, but that was on it's way to being a classic. And to have it end like that is just awful. Sure the Pirates could have lost on the next batter or the next inning, but at least put the game in the hands of the players. Unreal. Also, Braves fans only know how to do two things: the Tomahawk Chop and Boo. Holy fuck did they whine about every fucking thing.

Just saw the almighty Clutch tonight. Corrosion of Conformity was supposed to open but their drummer came down with some kind of heat related illness and they had to back out. Opening band, Groundscore didn't know what they wanted to be: reggae, hardcore, or poppy punk. They kinda sucked even though their drummer (JP Gaster of Clutch's drum tech) was awesome. Every song had the same structure and outside of the drummer the band was pedestrian. Clutch was amazing as always though. Debuted a new song, according to the setlist it's tentatively titled "Newt Gingrich." It's about werewolves and shit. Pretty good song. Great show from Clutch.

The Pirates have not been good since I was six years old. This is surreal. And when I consider that I'm working these games night in and night out and that I'm closer to the action than I ever thought I would be. This is nuts. Raise The Jolly Roger!

I just confirmed my participation as an extra in some filming in early August. Pictures/updates from the set will be available when I come back from the filming.

Kevin Correia was also added to replace Cole Hamels. Apparently someone forgot to tell those in charge that just because wins 11 games that doesn't mean he's you know, good. As befuddling as it was for Pirates fans to see Andrew McCutchen left off the roster initially, it's even more mind bogglingly to see Kevin Correia make the team, even as a replacement. As I wrote about on my blog (YES I HAVE A BLOG) "Cole Hamels, a legitimate All-Star with a 2.40 ERA, 0.952 WHIP, and 8.3 K/9, was replaced with a pitcher who has a 4.01 ERA, 1.277 WHIP, and 4.6 K/9." Incredible.

Going to try and get some pictures when they film in Pittsburgh. I know a guy working on the set so maybe I'll try to pull some strings and see if I can get any info from him. I love the look of Bane so far. After the Batman And Robin fiasco I wasn't sure if I liked the idea of using Bane or not, but I'm sure Nolan won't screw it up.
