Guess what this post is about!

Where I Was: We watched the first quarter at the most insane Steeler Bar I've encountered. It was more like a Pittsburgh Embassy. Three full stories of floor space packed with wall-to-wall humanity and Terrible Towels. We actually left after a quarter because we couldn't eat, drink, move, or sit down. Ended up at a sushi bar where there were very few people and we had three huge HD screens to ourselves.
Possession is like Obscenity: You know it when you see it. Maybe that's the reason the NFL has such trouble with how to define a catch? The call that negated Santonio's catch and touchdown in the first quarter was
Good eye, Messiah: No one ever touched Lawrence Timmons on the McGahee-Clark collision play/fumble recovery. Live ball!
Questionable officiating: Some ticky-tack calls and non-calls... but nothing was more ridiculous (even though it benefited the Steelers) than the roughing the kicker. Mitch Berger is a worthy thespian.
And speaking of him: Berger's tackle of LeonHard on that runback was probably the greatest kicker tackle I've ever seen. He ignored a stiff-arm, brought the guy down, and forced a fumble. LeonHard should feel silly. Had the ball stayed in bounds and been recovered by the Steelers, that play would've been leg-en-dary.
Can someone please... tell Lame-us Sieve that he's a wide RECEIVER? He did save three points by breaking up an interception. By my count, he only owes us 4 points now.
