Friend of a friend's truck at our tailgate yesterday.Bed cover lifts up...with a 50" (I think) HDTV with DirecTV, 6 speakers, 2 coolers/kegerators, a grill, a sink, and outlet plugs. So sweet.PB090573.jpg

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3703841Report: Dan Rooney, son will own 80 percent of Steelers after brothers sellPITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers chairman Dan Rooney's four brothers have agreed to sell a controlling stake of the team to him and his son, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.Patrick and Art Rooney Jr. confirmed the deal in a story posted on the paper's Web site Friday night. They and their other two brothers -- Timothy and John -- could get a total of $750 million after debt is taken out, according to the report.Art Rooney Jr. said the brothers hope to get the deal wrapped up before a board meeting in December. Both sides want to get a deal done by then because they are worried about possible higher taxes once the Obama administration is in office."It's a good deal. I'm happy for Dan. I'm happy for the rest of the family. I think young Art, Dan's son, will do a fine job," Patrick Rooney told the paper. "I think we're doing the right thing."Art Rooney II, Dan's son, is the team president.Each brother owns 16 percent of the team, adding up to 80 percent, with another Pittsburgh family, the McGinleys, owning 20 percent. Those shares are not being sold. The Rooneys' father, Hall of Famer Art Rooney Sr., bought the franchise in 1933 for $2,500.Several brothers wanted to focus their business efforts on racetracks and other non-football interests. The family owns racetracks in New York and Florida and has added forms of gaming that are inconsistent with NFL gambling policy, but Dan Rooney has no interests in the racing industry.The Rooney family has owned the team since its inception, except for a brief period in 1941 when Art Rooney Sr. sold the team to Alexis Thompson and bought into the Philadelphia Eagles. Rooney regained control of his hometown Steelers in less than a year.Copyright 2008 by The Associated PressTHANK GOD !!!!

Yep I'm sure there are simliar stories all over the country. I know my main fantasy league was affected as a guy that would have won by 6 points now lost by 1.

What an amazing interception TP made.
When he got up and the play went on, I said "There's no f'n way he caught that!"btw, I couldn't tell what he had in front of him to see if he takes it all the way, if he doesn't fall on his own.

The broadcasters said that there was nothing in front of him, if he stays on his feet it's a TD no doubt.

http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/78030Blown Steelers call could affect playoffsThough the NFL couldn't care less about outraged Steelers bettors who lost $32 million because of yet another officiating fumble storming the Las Vegas sportsbooks yesterday, today or tomorrow, the league ought to care about the integrity of its playoff tiebreaker system and how it could directly impact the Steelers and their AFC brethren. NFL, you admitted you got The Touchdown That Was Ultimately Ruled No Touchdown wrong. Now get it right. The final score, after further review, after Troy Polamalu's Touchdown That Was Ultimately Ruled No Touchdown on the last play of the game, should be 17-10, or 18-10, not 11-10. I give you Nos. 7-11 in the NFL tiebreaker formula: 7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. 8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed. 9. Best net points in conference games. 10. Best net points in all games. 11. Best net touchdowns in all games. John Avello, director of race and sports operations for the Wynn Las Vegas Casino Resort, believes the NFL could - and should - get it right and change the final score.New York Post

So have the sports books paid bets on the game, or are they holding them in hopes/fears of a change in score?

Tonights game prediction....Steelers 27 Bengals 14
Close prediction ! Solid defensive game. Hoping Holmes & Keisel are OK. As for our punter....punt his as.s out and try another one. He was dreadful. Any other team would have expolited the field position we gave them after punts.
