Well, were all back to a full work week and ready to go at the office I guess. The Steelers losing hopefully put a lot of things in perspective for a lot of yinzer faithful out there. Even if they made the play-offs, there was no chance they would of made it. I believe that honestly, and people who disagree and call me a fair weather fan are just out of their minds.
It was proven again yesterday that they couldn’t handle a 3rd string QB and let the score get close enough for an upset. Even though the Steelers secondary had three interceptions yesterday, the game was closer than it should of been up until the end. Either way though, the Steelers essentially left their fate to other teams and paid for it.
Here’s to next year and a middle first round draft pick. I have faith that the Black and Gold will turn it around, as Tomlin all but assured it in his press conference and even body motion during the ending of that game. He had seen enough. On another note, most people who haven’t watched the Pens so far this year because of the Steelers, will now start making the switch. They are on a 5 game slump, and look to break out of it soon. Without a doubt in my mind the Pens are so close to being my favorite team of the Pittsburgh it’s not even funny.
Moving on to the University of Pittsburgh, they beat up on the number 5 Syracuse Orange(men), pretty handily and have shown that they are a very scrappy team willing to get what it has to do done, to win. I’m pumped for them as their season goes on and into the longer months of Big East play. Them beating the Orange, should start to open people’s eyes, that they are a good fresh team of new faces. 
Well, aside from sports that’s about it. The biggest issue glaring with me is that the Pennsylvania Turnpike fees have gone up yet again. Reasoning, well I have no reasoning, the roads are full or pot-holes and terrible road crew working regardless when it’s bad outside. I’m not sure what I’m really paying an extra 15-30 cents for.
I thought the whole reasoning of leasing the name of the turnpike to whoever was to off-set the charges being raised for drivers. I guess nothing is untouchable for Mafioso Rendell. I can’t wait until he’s out of office. He’s a crook to the max.
Well, that’s about all I have for this Monday morning special, being back to work in full-on get stuff done mode is hard enough. Here’s a few links for you guys to read while you trudge through the day. Welcome to 2010 Pittsburgh!
