AFC North Headline Of The Day...

Whoa, good headline, dude. You think of that all by yourself? I mean, that must've really put a strain on your gray matter's creative sector. I hope you didn't pull a hammy or something.

Are you even trying?

Honestly.

And whoever wrote this probably gets paid 50 times what I get paid. Of course, 50 times zero is still zero. So yeah.

What did you want from me? It's Friday - surprisingly a slow news day. As if every other day this week was chock full of hot news items. Yeah, right. Loving the offseason, kids!

PS - Meeting People Is Easy coming at ya early afternoon. Check back around 1-ish.

Oh, and find of the day (poss the year)...

How is it even possible that I still have this?

I may not have much for you in the way of commentary this morning, but these links sure do...

You know what? That's it, I'm making some moves on this blog. We're in severe need of...
A. A redesign, and
B. More pages

Look for that to happen. Eventually. Probably when I stop being a waste of life. In otherwords, don't hold your breath.

Obligatory Footer - If you haven't already, become a fan of OFTOT on Facebook, join the blog network and follow me on Twitter. Or don't. Your choice, really.

Vote for OFTOT!

Alright, rarely do I write dedicated self-serving posts like this, but I'm making an exception this morning.

Today marks the beginning of Sean's Rambling's "Best Pittsburgh Sports Blog Tournament." Now, what does this really mean? Who knows.

It's kind of like the time in college when I was in A Chi O's Man of the Year competition. I blew away the competition with my shredding guitar skills, and yet, still lost because voting was based on people buying tickets to vote. My friends, the ones who stuck around after I played, were not about to be spending their disposable income on voting for my ass. Come on, now. There were bars to hit later that night. So I lost, despite that everyone told me I should've won. Whatever. I still got a free t-shirt out of it.

Oh yeah, the guy who won re-enacted Justin Timberlake's "Like I Love You" video. I find solace in the fact that if that's what it took to win, I'd rather just not.

Anyways, this thing isn't too serious, but I might as well urge y'all to go vote for me over at Sean's place. Maybe if you're lucky and I win, I'll send you some Smiley cookies or something.

You'll have to excuse me. It's still too early for me to be funny...

Vote for Pedro Tomlin!

Tomlin's up for 2008 Coach of the Year.

Whether or not you believe he's deserving (though I certainly do), I still urge you to go vote.

Come on, he'd do it for you.

And you would't want John Harbaugh to win, now, would you?
