Tomlin should sit Kenny

There is nothing to gain and everything to lose if KP plays this Sunday. I would shut him down the rest of the season if I could. The Steelers should be able to beat the Raiders with Trubisky. The turf will be frozen and one more bounce off the turf of Kenny's noggin so soon and it could put his career at risk. He has started 9 games his rookie year. We saw growth in his progress as an NFL QB. He needs an off season to heal and prepare to be the Steelers QB for the future.

If he does play, I will hope to hell he stays upright and slides if he decides to head downfield.

A Jose Mourinho Christmas Story

𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐡𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟖: "I remember a game in Siena, with Maicon. They reminded me he always gets a fifth yellow card to be suspended on Christmas, so he could go on a vacation to Brazil.

I went to him & said that if he got a yellow card, he wouldn't be going on vacation, I'm not an idiot. He asked if he scored, could he go? I said 'No, only if you score 2 In the game. He scored 2 goals, received a yellow card for taking his shirt off & he went on vacation.

I also gave him an extra week off."

Maicon, if anyone remembers, was a Right Back.

May Jose be our next USMNT Coach. I’m starting a movement.

Merry Christmas, gents.

Signing Day video: What led Ryan Carretta to Pitt?

Ryan Carretta is a big interior offensive line recruit who signed with Pitt this week, and he spoke to Panther-Lair.com about why he picked Pitt, how he fits with the Panthers' offensive line and a lot more.

OT: World Cup Final

What a first half by Argentina. Total denomination. France didn’t have a single shot. Argentina won at least 75% of the 50/50 balls. That second goal was as perfect an example of quick, perfectly weighted diagonal passing as you will ever see. Absolutely textbook. Five passes. Four one touch passes. The pass to Messi was knee-high; he took one touch to settle it and then made a perfectly weighted pass to Molina.

Of course, Argentina was up 2-0 on the Dutch too and gave up two late goals. But this Argentine team seems driven. They are overrunning the French midfield. France can’t obtain possession in midfield to set up an attack. As long as Argentina doesn’t revert to going into a defensive shell and making stupid fouls, they should remain in control.

By the way, there was a post about Messi never running and playing defense. Hope you were watching the first half. He runs when he has to, and he was instrumental in shredding the French midfield when they did have possession in Argentina’s end. I counted five times when he was involved in a takeaway from a Feench player in the defensive end.

Some perspective on this win

Lets put this in perspective. It was a collapse at the end but a W. Who would have thought we would be 2-0 in conference play with road wins over NC State and Syracuse when the season started. The UNC game is most likely the biggest game for Pitt since the Dixon years. Win this and you have to start thinking NCAA tournament. We still play Louisville 2x, BC 1x, FSU 2x, and GT 2x. All games we should be favored in. 10 win ACC teams make the tournament usually.

OT: The Cowboys' Uniforms

I have always found them to be nice but incredibly weird. Whatever color the pants are isn't the same silver shade as the helmet. And then the shade of royal blue on the jerseys and pants is obviously completely different from the navy blue on the helmets. So, for a team that usually wears white jerseys, they're still finding a way to clash four different colors together (not counting the white).

Is this not a fashion violation?
