Darnell Stapleton Knows How to Kick It...

Hey Ben, Darnell Stapleton will see your Tao and raise you a Ghostbar.

What the hell am I talking about? Cue the quote...

"Darnell Stapleton of the Pittsburgh Steelers was spotted at Ghostbar inside The Palms in a group of 10 friends enjoying Grey Goose and Hypnotiq."

Grey Goose and Hypnotiq? Way to perpetuate a stereotype there, dude. Afterwards, did you all share a 12 piece bucket? Well, I guess it'd be tough for 10 or 11 [presumably sizable] dudes to share a bucket of 12, but you get where I was headed.

True story - When I was in high school I worked at this place where businesses held their company picnics. One of my friends worked there with me, and he happened to be one of maybe three total employees who were black. They gave him the job of cutting watermelons.

Pennsylvania is all about cultural sensitivity.

/shakes head in disappointment

Anyways, A+ to Darnell Stapleton for that stellar acting job above. I smell Academy Award! It's just a shame they spelled his name wrong in the opening credits. According to Wikipedia, Darnell is spelled with two "l"s. Oops, honest mistake, right?

And if you liked that, check him out in this YouTube goodness (at 0:25)...

While you're at it, see the 1:15 mark too. Go Blue Hens.

God Bless The Internets...

Hey, remember the time I posted that video of Michael Griffin saying stomping on the towel was unnecessary?

Well, that YouTube video has apparently become a venue for shit talk back and forth.

So if you're looking for a little dirty talk with Titans et al fans, I'd head over here and give 'em a piece of your mind.

Or just your piece across their face.

Either way...

Well, At Least It's Better Than Lions-Vikes...

Ok, so we didn't get around to taping a show this weekend. Getting in at 5:30 AM two nights in a row makes it pretty tough to have the energy to do anything except sit on the couch...which, of course, is basically all we do on the show...but, hey man, it's the bye week. Everyone needs a breather every now and then, including us committed bloggers.

So instead, enjoy the master lyrical stylings of Rehdogg. And if you've got small children in the room, you probably want to give them some earmuffs first.

Enjoy the Sunday games! Go Colts!

A Little Midday Video Grab Bag...

Hey, here's a bonus for actually reading OFTOT during the bye week. And, on a serious note, thank you to all of you who've stuck by us in this time of darkness. The bye week can be rough. I only hope that, as friends, we can all get through this together. I think I'm gonna cry...this is a touching moment...yeah...

Anyways, the purpose of this post is indeed to give you a little bonus action. See, Tecmo and I have an undefinable amount of clips showing us insightfully analyzing the Steelers and the NFL doing dumb shit. I mean, we're a couple of outspoken, creative dudes. So naturally, we talk about way more shit than we can use in the [Unnamed] Steelers Pregame Show. But that doesn't mean all this golden footage has to go to waste. So I uploaded as much idiocy as I could find to YouTube and have embeded all the fun below for you to enjoy on this beautiful Fall Thursday afternoon.

[Unnamed] Steelers Pregame Show - Episode 3

Our sincerest apologies for the delay. We were up until 3 AM last night taping and cutting, and consequently got a late start today. But here it is, for better or for worse. Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments.

AND let's not forget...let's not forget dude, the outtake reel? I mean...that ain't legal either...


[Unnamed] Steelers Show [PSAMP]

This Is Going To Suck...

Ok, we told you we'd be doing a pregame show. And that's what we did. What you see above is our first attempt at a semi-structured, yet just off the cuff enough to be moderately entertaining, pregame video extravaganza.

Rest assured, this won't win any Oscar's. Hell, it wouldn't even win a Cleo. But it's something. And it WILL get better. We promise.

So take it for a spin and let us know what you think in the comments. And when you're done, be sure to peep the outtake reel below...


Cheers and t-minus two hours 'til game time. YES!

Welcome To The Jungle...

I'd like to dedicate this post to Chris Henry, who was successfully cleared to practice in Cincy today. Congratu-friggin-lations you worthless sack a' garbage.

Substance of post officially begins now...

We all know Cincinnati is basically a glorified penal colony the way these Bengals have been running afoul of the law for the past two some odd years. Hence, I think they've really lived up to that pseudonym for Paul Brown Stadium, "The Jungle"...IE - it's not just a clever name.

So in the spirit of picking on the Bungles and basically Ohio in general (sorry to any of yinz Stiller fans stuck there), here's a few things that you should be aware of on or before Sunday:

• Stealth Bombers: This is the obvious starting point. In case you have been living in a cave, the Bengals have had a little problem with some pesky rats with wings shitting on fans and in fans food and beverages. I'd say that sucks, but if I made chili with cinnamon (or chocolate!) in it, I'd pretty much expect it to get shit on. Something just isn't right there. PS - if you're attending the game, I highly recommend a hat.


• This: Remember the Bears Super Bowl Shuffle? Well this is way worse than that...just watch it. And please make sure you note the Lil' John knockoff...come to think of it, this should probably be #1...
  


• Conspicuously Large Amounts of Bengals Fans at the game: As if it isn't bad enough that the Bengals have any fans to begin with...the latest in Cincinnati deviance is ticket takers at Paul Brown taking cash to let fans in without tickets. And by cash, I mean $20! Dudes, here's a tip - if you're gonna put your ass on the line like that, at least collect more than a 20! I mean I know the cost of living is lower because it's Ohio, but come on, you can definitely get enough to buy yourself a Chad Johnson Fathead or something...Again, I blame the cinnamon chili. Crazy assholes.


• Ocho Cinco: Speaking of assholes...the heat is on for Chad Johnson. The media is tired of his touchdown celebrations and they're just not going to take it anymore...just don't mention how they previously encouraged it...Anyways, check out this post that includes video of the Keyshawn-Chad interview from ESPN's Sunday pregame. All jokes aside, I think this was the best interview I've seen in a while. Keyshawn told Chad straight up that he's acting like a selfish prick. And by all accounts it had an impact. We'll see if he can contain himself on Sunday. In the meantime, also check out Chad's Myspace page...notice friend #1...and #2...and don't miss the comments.

That's it for now. My apologies to any of you who came looking for substantive analysis today, I ain't got none (er...didn't have time for it). But if you're thirsty for knowledge, take a look at yesterday's post previewing our matchup against the Bungles. And remember, when in Cincinnati, don't eat the chili.

Random Thursday News...

Well, now that I got that rant off my chest (see below), there's...like...some...stuff going on...in the world of sports...and it's all really...uh...important.

Yeah, it's been a rough news week. How many more months 'til the season starts?

Still, I found a few bites for you. Check 'em out if you dare...

• If you don't think Pacman Jones is a piece of shit, I suggest you read this. Then try and take his lawyer seriously...


• Hey Michael Strahan, ever heard of Aaron Smith???


• Looks like Donovin Darius is going to have to settle for clotheslining himself this season...


• Cajones of the week: Shawn Springs. Someone tell this guy he only played like 5 games last year...


• Nice to know some things never change...


• And finally, reason #1,047 that I love YouTube --
  

How Many More Months Til The Season Starts?

Yeah, I got nothing for you today...check back tomorrow.

Just kidding, here's an oldie (kind of) but a goody - Joey Porter introducing the Steelers D on Monday Night Football, Howard Dean style...For as much of a pain in the ass as he was, I gotta think I'm going to miss this jackass crap -
