One could say I've been busy.
But one could also say that I might be realizing that nobody actually reads this. However, I guess I should take the advice of my mentor, Gregg, and realize that this blog is more for just me writing and finding my style than anything else.
The NFL regular season kicked off last night, with the Pittsburgh Steelers defending their Super Bowl title with a 13-10 overtime victory over the capable Titans of Tennessee. I don't think we learned anything about how the rest of the season will play out. Big Ben Rothelisburger is still a good quarterback who finds ways to win...nothing more. He still takes way too many sacks, throws the ball carelessly too much, and apparently thinks he's better than he really is...just like everybody else. And maybe the Titans won't be quite as good as they were last year. But one big story is the injury of Troy Polomalu, a safety who the Steelers are only a slightly better than an average team without. He could be out 3-6 weeks, good news for the Bengals, and every other team Pittsburgh plays in the next month. Blitzburgh needs him, and there is no way they will repeat without him. Heck, I don't think they'll repeat even if they have him all year. But that's just me.
Oh, by the way, I know it's early, but Big Ben is on pace for 32 interceptions this season...I'm just saying...
