It's clear to me that I pissed off the football gods. I'm not just talking about last night's loss to the Steelers. No, I'm talking about another kind of cruel punishment that was handed down.
Like much of Northeast Ohio last night, I was unable to watch the game due to the inclement weather. Many people in the viewing area were without power. Thankfully, I at least had that.
Minutes before kickoff, however, my cable went out. I was forced to listen to the game on the radio. As bad as this was, this is only part of the cruel punishment handed down upon me by the football gods.
You see, just when I thought all hope was lost on me being able to actually watch the game, the cable came back on. Good, right? Wrong. It came on just in time for me to witness the Hines Ward touchdown. Then, it was gone. It didn't come back on the rest of the game, and it was still out this morning when I left for work.
I can only imagine this — along with the loss — was my punishment for admitting in yesterday's Blawg post that I didn't like Hines Ward and he's the only player upon which I wish injury.
Lesson learned. Never piss off the football gods.
I have some grades for a few players and coaches.
ReplyDeleteInside Linebackers - D-
Jackson was horrible. One play he hit Parker and just fell down while Parker continued on into the secondary. Why do Pittsburgh Linebackers consitently make plays at the line or behine the line of scrimmage while the Browns Linebackers make the tackles 5-6 yards down field.
D Line A- Shaun Rogers played like an All-Pro. He was spectacular.
D Backs D- They stunk enough said.
Romeo F He should have gone for it on 4th down late in the game down by 7. What an idiot.
Mel Tucker C- There was improvement in the first quarter from the dallas Game.
Chud - F Why keep on using an unbalanced line to the right but run to the left.
DA - D- He has yet to prove he can win the big game.
Braylon D- Catch the damn Ball!!
KII B+ He is the best player on the team.
