What up Bengals? Huge game this Sunday, HUGE! But before I get to that. It's time for a Christmas rant. Today I have been to Pier 1, the Hobby Lobby and TJ Max, shopping for my girlfriend. Am I the only one who feels lost when I am in places like that, un-escorted by a woman? After hours of walking around with a lost expression on my face, I finally buy enough things that are thoughtful, have no real purpose, but are cute. Then I get all the merchandise home to tackle the second part of this dreaded chore, the wrapping. Get chills just thinking about it. I lay claim to being the worst present wrapper known to mankind. I suck. You can always tell a present I wrapped, it looks like something you bring home from the fish market with a bow stuck on top.

Had to get that out of my system. Almost as frustrating as losing 4 of your last 5 games. Fortunes have reversed since we played you guys last. Bengals been winning and Steelers been losing. It just ain't right folks, Steelers are supposed to win and the Bengals are supposed to be an after thought. Steelers have to win out just to get into the playoffs. That means one thing, you gotta lose Sunday. You just gotta! May sound like I am talking smack, maybe a little bit. Friendly banter is cool. I have mostly found respectful, friendly conversations with Bengals fans.I will try my best to answer any questions you might have. Hopefully we can get some good football conversation going. thanks to Mexal for posting a like post over on BTSC. Shout out to Jungle John on a speedy recovery. Now that I got my Bah Humbug outta the way, Merry Christmas. Go Steelers!
