I’m not a Steeler fan at all, but there is little doubt that was the biggest play of the game (in hindsight). And even less doubt that it was an incorrect call.
I don’t know why the Steelers weren’t running it all night, though.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:04 AM
ha, that happened in my office a few weeks ago, apparently a comment meant to be a joke in an email was taken the wrong way. what started out as yelling at each other broke out into a fist fight on the sales floor.

That is how a lot of packages are dropped off. He could have made a phone call, honked his horn, pressed the call button on the gate if there was one or reached over as much as he could and dropped it on the grass as soft as he could. He’s just a moron because he could see what it was. It didnt need to say fragile.
/My job is in off season so I work part time for UPS..
December 20th, 2011 at 9:07 AM
yeah, wasn’t a great call, but it’s not like that was the one play that prevented the steelers from winning when big ben throws an end zone interception and kills another drive with a pick early in the game when the niners only put up 6 points.
and big ben was tipping the run under the center with his foot placement and shoulders. whatever side they were running to, that shoulder was back and his feet were already positioned to hand off with only a turn of the body.
even alex smith hid the run under center more effective.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
Gotta agree. Not a Stillers fan either, but the some of the calls by the Refs last nite were bad, and even more magnified by the crappy stadium they played in and the delays we had to endure. Those chop-block penalties…WTF??? neither penalty was a chop-block. Pass-interference call was missed. The Vernon Davis TD??? Yeah, his foot was inbounds even after they reviewed it. The refs were bad and should give their paychecks back to the league.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
I can’t even think of a business where they would hire sales women who have the propensity for fist fighting when they get into an argument with a coworker.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:10 AM
He didn’t “throw” the package, more like lightly tossed it into some shrubbery.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:11 AM
yeah, wasn’t a great call, but it’s not like that was the one play that prevented the steelers from winning when big ben throws an end zone interception and kills another drive with a pick early in the game when the niners only put up 6 points.
I never said it cost them the game, but it undoubtly changed the trajectory. having a fumble recovery at the SF 25 negated when they were only down 6 is a huge blown call.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:11 AM
it was pretty messed up. but at the same time i’m upset because i missed all the action by only a few minutes.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:11 AM
Yeah, losing by 17 is usually the fault of the refs.

Lose to Coastal Carolina and South Alabama but beat Marquette. LSU basketball is maddening but at least there’s hope now. This is Trent Johnson’s first big win in the last 2 1/2 years.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
It was a shit penalty, I’ll agree with that. Kyle Williams has to know where the fuck his guy is. Both chop block penalties were bogus, as was the one that Gore got called on him in Baltimore that negated a 75 yard Ted Ginn TD.
The worst thing I heard all night? The idiots for ESPN questioning whether or not Roethlisberger should have played. Hurt or not, he gave them the best chance to win. That and Berman saying something about Charlie Batch being an MVP. What a dumb fuck.

December 20th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
my only thought on this is, heading into a short week and 1, if not 2, must win games for playoff seeding, they could have gotten the same result with Batch or Dixon playing and ben would have gotten more time to rest and heal.
but hey, keep his ankle hurting heading into the playoffs, makes them easier for any other team to beat if this is how ben plays with this injury.

December 20th, 2011 at 9:23 AM
My comprehension skills are outstanding. Your entire post centered on a complaint that the announcers didn’t rail on a perceived missed a game-changing penalty.
“I’m not saying the refs cost them the game, but I’m pissed that the announcers didn’t mention a call that cost the Steelers the game.”
That about it? OK then.

I’m no football genius or anything, but when the Steelers ran away from Bowman and forced that substitute LB to fill a gap, he usually wasn’t there to do it, and got sealed off. I know they were saying he had a good game, b/c he made pass plays, but I think the Steelers should have kept running.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:26 AM

HDS sir and how are you this afternoon? ALLRIGHTYTHEN.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:28 AM
they definitely should have, but many, many times the 49ers stopped the run when they saw ben cheating his body towards the side of the handoff when under center, and at times in shot gun. his ankle hobbled him so much he had to make these physical adjustments that tipped the plays.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:29 AM

Larry Grant did a fine job filling in for P Dub, but yes, he was out of position serveral times on running plays.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:35 AM
if you can’t find any polish vodka, there’s been an increase in Polish beer being sold in liquor stores. Typically they come in the large pint sized bottles, but are pretty cheap and good. One that i’ve found in 6 packs is “Tyskie”, which is a nice light pilsner and around me is about $5 for a sixer

We passed it around the limo taking three counts. Holy shit I was hungover the next day. Funny story, actually. I passed out sitting at the stage and woke up to 4 tits in my face. Good times.

Give the Stoli marketing guys a raise. They’ve somehow managed to dupe people into thinking they’re a top tier vodka.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:55 AM

December 20th, 2011 at 9:56 AM
All of this. Vodka Tonic…tastes great. Less filling. Don’t forget the lime though.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:56 AM
I’ve become a big fan of bourbon. I like the sweetness in it compared to scotch.
they are both very,very tasty.

I’m gonna sound like a gigantic snob saying this but I drank vodka when I was much much younger, so I feel like I’m 17 every time I drink it. I’d like a grownup drink, please.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:57 AM
I really want to drink bourbon and such, but it would take me forever to kill a glass. Oh well. Dark beer it is.
Thank god I hovered over that link.

Hendricks and tonic >>> vodka and tonic
December 20th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
For the price, it is easily the best.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
I wouldn’t say top tier, more they’re on the 2nd to top shelf. It’s not like we’re talking about White Tavern or Smirnoff here.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
No way. That award goes to Absolut.
December 20th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
McCormick Vodka has to be the worst
December 20th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
Chopin is good but I prefer Wyborowa and it’s cheaper if you can find it.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
Vodka is the liquor you’d drink if you’re trying to minimalize a hangover. So really, isn’t that the liquor for pussies to drink?
December 20th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
Oh, and Happy Birthday to Cousin Ron.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
I didn’t realize that this many males drank vodka.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
I can verify that. It’s also very reasonably priced.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
No way. That award goes to Absolut.
for sure. that stuff burns like fire, and is pricey.

I have a bottle of Gordon’s Vodka at my apartment. No idea where I got it from. It’s pretty meh.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
Have to have it around just in case I stumble on ‘The Big Lebowski’ on TV
December 20th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
really? I think my worst hangovers have come from nights filled with cheap vodka.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
I diversify my drinking…beer, wine, vodka, rum, Johnnie, port, gin. Just like I diversify my bonds…

Vodka is great mixed with some V8 fusion juice and a splash of Diet Sierra Mist.

Anytime I shoot vodka I know I am in for a bad evening and an even worse morning. Caucasians all day every day though.

December 20th, 2011 at 10:07 AM
There was a bar we used to go to on Thursday nights when I was at LSU that had $1 screwdrivers. I don’t know what kind of cheap-ass vodka they were using, but it destroyed any ability I now have to keep it down.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
Tequila is the night ender for me. A couple of fresh margaritas? Perfect. Shots of tequila? Death.

A good smooth Vodka with club and a slice of lime is my go to drink.

Yep, I can drink Whiskey neat for hours but will struggle keeping down a single shot of Tequila.

I’m a gin and tonic guy. That’s my usual start to any night out.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:14 AM
That’s a funny thing for me. Shots of tequila, while they get me drunk, do not knock me out for the night.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:14 AM
I have totally checked the fuck out at work. Today is my last day of the year and it shows. I don’t want to do anything.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:15 AM

I was sick yesterday, so I’m down to five days of work for the rest of the year…today through Thursday and next Wens & Thurs. It’s turning into a ghost town at my office.

This is me. As soon as I smell it I want to puke.

i’ve got until Friday, but i’m hoping Friday is slow and upper management is competent enough to let us out a little early.

Most people get turned off on Tequila early on because their first exposure to it is someone asking them if they want a shitty shot of Cuervo. Higher end Tequila is awesome to just sip on.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
This. I have killed my fair share of Scorpions in my house but that does not seem nearly the nightmare that you just described.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
It’s good, but I’m not going to waste good gin on a gin & tonic. That’s what New Amsterdam is for.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
This is the time of year I get those $70-100 bottles of whiskey/bourbon I’ve been eying and give them as gifts. Gifts that I then drink half of.

Does anyone have that person in their life who uses the terms “long story short” or “let me give you the Cliff’s Notes version of what happened” then proceeds to tell you every detail of their story? My boss does this on a daily basis and it’s making me crazy.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:34 AM
I’ll be done tomorrow around 2 pm. Then I’m off until Jan 3rd. Most of my time between now and then will be finalizing some reports/letters.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:35 AM
Next time my gin runs out I mean to try some Hendricks. Lately I’ve been trying the ryes that are out on the market, manhattans are a family tradition.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
sportsgal – my mom does that. except the “long story short” phrase always comes at the end of the long story with multiple tangents she’s been telling me.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
“let me give you the Cliff’s Notes version of what happened”
this person deserves a slap.

Wonder what the percentage is for African-Americans? Either way, I’m 23 and have never seen the inside of a jail. Now where’s my cookie?
December 20th, 2011 at 10:42 AM
Eh, a lot of it boils down to luck. I know some BAD dudes who’ve never been arrested, yet I’ve been in cuffs multiple times and you’d probably feel comfortable letting me babysit your children. What can you do? THE MAN is who we fault in this situation.
December 20th, 2011 at 10:47 AM

Is your actual name linked to this site somehow? How did she find TBL?
December 20th, 2011 at 12:06 PM
Probably from back in the day when I wrote for the site. I’m sure if someone scrolled through enough cached pages and/or comments they could put it together. Oh well. She said she didn’t really care, that she thought it was kinda funny. Still texts me every two or three months to say, “You were such a dick.” Because I didn’t want to permanently break up her marriage and run off with her. I may be a dick, but probably not for that particular reason.
