Duan, my brother, the Steelers need the Browns to act right and lay down this weekend. The last thing we need is the Brown pulling their britches down and showing their rear sides against the Steelers in an important game. We also need the Cincinatti Bengals to whip the Baltimore Gravens. Remember, the reason the young man died prematurely and never got to experience marriage and fatherhood is because he jumped on the wrong dude down at the bar and got himself killed. Since y'all don't have any hope of post season play the last thing the world needs is the Cleveland Browns showing their back sides this weekend against the Steelers. You have to show up but you don't have to play hard. Once the Steelers get a couple of weeks of rest we will take down the Patriots and the rest of the trash in the AFC. And, believe it or not, go Dallas. I want the Cowboys to make the post season this year. Queen has suffered enough! It will be us and the Packers again, baby. Go Steelers.
