dude....it's a fishing story.

[Smittro]

If it was truly a 53" inch Muskie, and was only 35 pounds, that poor fish was starving.

Or, it really wasn't really 4 1/2 feet long

[Smittro]

I have to be honest tho.. I thought for a little while Pittsburgh was gonna shit the bed..

[Mr. Luos]

Pittsburgh is now 8-7 in conference championship games.

I would think that is a good thing....

[Y2KPewterSS]

I would think that is a good thing....

Not bad, not invincible by any means though.

[Mr. Luos]

Can't win them all when the best are playing. That is quite a few trips to the conference game. I would take my team getting that far that many times.

NWS for language but funny as hell.....

Kind of the same situation with the Lakers, the Lakers have made 32 Finals appearances, but have a 16-16 record. Tons of trips there, but only a .500 record once they get there. Good but nothing to be intimidated by

I see what you're saying but I believe you have to get there in order to win it so just getting there speaks volumes. I agree that you have to win it all to get the respect but it takes a good franchise to make multiple trips for the opportunity. Look at Buffalo. Went 4 times straight without winning it. How long do you think it'll be before someone makes 4 straight trips to the superbowl? Very easily could be not in our lifetime. They will never get the respect though because they didn't win a single one....still a great team though and had they not have had a shitty FG kicker they would've won against the Giants.

Agreed, its a shame that Bills team didn't win at least 1 superbowl. They were probably overmatched in talent against Dallas, but they could have and should have beat the Giants. I am not trying to take anything away from the franchises, its quite an accomplishment to get there that many times, but just not something I would get intimidated by either.

[Mr. Luos]

I doubt many are intimidated in professional sports to begin with.

LOL!!!

Wow the Titans got rid of Fisher AND Young. Didn't see that one coming, figured they'd keep one of em... Good for them...

Very surprised too - that whole thing must have ruffled the feathers of the owner just enough to say, "hell with it, I'm hitting the reset button".

[0rion]

Denver just said " SHIT!!!!"

[The Manalishi]

Maybe the Raiders will convince him its not time to go fishing just yet.
