We're Running A Little Hot Around Here...

Ok, I'll admit, I may have fueled some of this "sky is falling...everyone should be fired...the Steelers might as well pack it in for '08" conversation when I wrote a tongue-in-cheek plea to Russ Grimm. Fact is, that was a joke. I wanted an outlet for my creative energy, and I thought that'd be funny. Not a source of contention.

But listen, we've got a good discussion going in the comments of yesterday afternoon's post. And hidden in there (not really though) is the basis for this post - "it's only Week 4."

So in case anyone is interested, here are 10 reasons to relax...

1. The Eagles have a nasty blitz and we knew they'd be hitting Big Ben.
2. We have one division win already under our belts.
3. At least Ben was wearing his helmet on Sunday.
4. Losses can make you stronger - they expose things you might not otherwise see.
5. There will always be beer.
6. Big Daddy Drew still gives our game Four Throwgasms.
7. The [Unnamed] Steelers Pregame Show (like my heart) will go on.
8. Random Asshole is still random and still an asshole.
9. The chick on the left in that image there looks pretty good. Hey, baby.
10. Life's too short. And from what I hear, a coronary is no fun.

That all said, Bodog has the over/under on Ben getting sacked on Monday night at 2.5 times. Honestly, I'm surprised it's not higher but hey, that's cool with me. I wouldn't mind 2.5 sacks. Better than EIGHT!

Oh yeah, and not that it has anything to do with this post, but they've also got the over/under on Wreckingball's rushing yards at 51.5. I'd certainly like a 1 inserted before that 5, but whatever.

UPDATE: According to MJD (via Ravens Insider), apparently Bart Scott threatened to kill Hines Ward at some point last year? And they said Ray Lewis didn't have an impact anymore...But you know, it's like I commented over at MJD's place (see Comment 22) - I find it painfully ironic that Bart Scotts initials are BS. Amateurs, dude.

Anyways...thoughts?
