(Photo Credit: AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)Good morning everybody. My god it's cold out.. Just a quick update this morning before I head to the car dealership.. the dreaded "Check Engine" light just popped up on my ride and Christ only knows what that could mean.
So yeah, the Steelers really showed me a lot yesterday. As mentioned pretty much everywhere by now.. when the defense doesn't play like the best defense in the league, bad things will happen. The Steelers allowed 323 total yards.. so that streak is out the window. Kerry Collins looked like he was taking snaps in Happy Valley all over again (20-29, 1 TD, 0 TO) and well, Ben looked like... a bad version of Ben (26-40, 2 TD, 2 INT, 2 F).
More after the jump.. with what I woke up to, and the lone highlight of the Pittsburgh sports pre-Christmas weekend.
So the title of this week's WIWUT is "1 Out Of 3"... and time to talk about the solo "1". Pitt basketball marched, well probably flew, down to Tallahassee, Florida and beat the Florida State Seminoles 56-48. And that game WAS closer than the score shows.
Sam Young continues to be a MAN.. 21 pts, 7 rbs.. and DeJuan Blair gets another double-double with 10 and 12. FSU was 11-1 to start the season and this rare non-conference challenge by the Panthers should spring board them quite nicely into conference play.
And onto the second loss of the weekend for Pittsburgh.. then Pens/Maple Leafs clunker. The Penguins got taken down, 7-3. And besides Malkin's gorgeous goal, not much to talk about there.
OK, a new week is ahead.. we do have Christmas this Thursday, and due to the normal sports news slow down, expect the blog to look a little light this week.
ESPN: James Walker weighs in on the Steelers getting pounded.
The PG: Ed Bouchette uses the words "flat" and "manhandled".. and that's just in the title.
The PG: Ron Cook uses these stats to make his point, "Parker and the running game were so ineffective that, if you throw out his 13-yard run in the first quarter, he had 17 carries for 16 yards." That's not good.
ESPN: Their recap of the Pitt/FSU game.
ESPN: Did you know Sid has just broken the ALL-TIME vote total for the ALL-STAR game?
