Party On the Patio!

(Click on the title to go hear the episode!)

We kicked off the show with a great tune from ZZ Top off the El Loco album.

Then it was STEELERS, STEELERS, STEELERS!

A rare discussion of current events included that plane that crashed into the Hudson River just today. How can it be a miracle that all those people survived when flying is supposed to so much safer than anything else like they tell us?

Then we got a great novelty/comedy song from Aaron Wilburn!

Some weird news for the week:

1) Always a bridesmaid? Hell she's usually a pall-bearer!
2) why do people think its OK to to be rude to fat people?
3) Adolph Hitler was taken from his parents...last week.

That's it kids! Stay warm this weekend cause its FREEZING outside!

We'll be back next Thursday at 11pm!

Weclome to the Jungle...

I belong to a LOT of online sites.

Some of my favorites are the sports sites and one in particular is ran by the sad sack Cincinnati Bengals.

Their message board is a clever mix of smack talk and "jungle noise" where fans can argue even with people they agree with most of the time.

But recently there has been a trend to the smack talk. Since the Bengals can win on their won their fans are taking great pride in rooting for whoever beats the Steelers.

And the great mantra that goes up around this time each year: "Yeah, well, your team might have made the playoffs, but they'll be one and done!"

Recently I responded to those "one and done" Steeler haters:

My philosophy is this..just get to the payoffs and anything can happen.

Look at 2005. The Steelers had to bust their hind ends to get in the playoffs and went on a tear that lead them to their 5th Lombardi trophy.

Last year as the Steelers were limping into the playoffs I was at least help to hold out some hope because at least they made it. As they dropped that game to Jacksonville my wife, who is a newcomer to watching football, said well at least you won't have to worry about next week.

She couldn't have been more wrong.

Win that game against Jacksonville and anything can happen the following week.

So to everyone here who will take great pleasure if the Steelers lose in the playoffs...your jealousy is what I love!

Getting to the playoffs is just half the battle...but getting there allows you to play on. Something fans of the Bengals don't have much memory of.

Here we go...

Frustrating loss for the Steelers today.

Everything seemed to bounce the right way for the colts with a tipped pass going for a touchdown (btw...the most used phrase used during a Steeler broadcast? "In front of Ike Taylor") and another tipped ball completed for a first down.

Add in some untimely Big Ben INTs and it added up to a game the Steelers could have won bu did not.

So now they find themselves tied for first place with the Baltimore Ravens and holding the tie-breaker at this point.

I have two complaints about the game:

1) Bruce Arians calls an awful game. He mixes everything perfectly for about two drives a game...the rest of the time he has a knack for calling the exact wrong play.

2) I spent the better part of 30 minutes explaining to my guests during the game that the left tackle of the Colts was regularly tackling our DE. Yet ZERO holding penalties were called on the Colts.

The inconsistency of calls (especially holding) is very frustrating for me. It seems like certain teams never get called and holding only gets called during plays that go for positive yardage...even if the hold had nothing to do with the play.

But this loss falls on the Steelers who played fairly well despite their injury situation.

They are in the middle of a tough stretch and a win today would have been great...but they are professionals and need to shake it off and get ready for next Sunday!

GO STEELERS!!
