Splat!

In what has to be one of the more entertaining 3-0 NFL games you will ever see, the Steelers kept the Dolphins hopes for a perfect season alive last night. The highlight of the game by far was watching the slow, painful descent into insanity by the die-hard Steelers fan on my couch. Dip your hair in marinara sauce? No problem! Dunk the tips into your beer, it adds flavor!

On the field, the highlight of the game and the play that epitomized the field conditions was a Dolphins punt that stuck straight into the ground. Afterwards, the talking heads speculated on the safety of the players in such conditions. That's funny. Ricky Williams had to leave the game after he was stepped on by a 300 pound defensive lineman while laying prone on the ground. Jesse Chapman left with a neck injury in the third quarter following a violent head on collision with a defensive back. At one point the announcers joked about comparing a James Harrison sack of John Beck to getting into a rear end collision in your car. Yet somehow after the game the analysts decided to worry about the footing on the field. Believe me, if these guys were worried about slipping in some mud, they would have taken up a sensible game like baseball, or badminton.
