1. this whole thing with the Steelers has really changed my mind...

about that team, and I am a Cleveland Fan...but man that means nothing when you think about what it means for these guys to walk this walk. Most Pro Teams are too timid to speak out for fear of reprisal or being labeled somehow. Saw a post about Brady Quinn with freaking Sarah Lame ASS Failen the other day and I wanted to puke.

I have to say right now: "GO STEELERS!!!" you guys rock, and thanks Mr. Rooney.


CHarging AHead at the SPeed of PIE!!!






CHange, HOpe, OBama/BIden......!
