but it does seem to be a little tighter this year

Steel Reserve is bought mostly by college students who have toked away most of their taste buds. High on alcohol content and little else, Steel Reserve has a short shelf life as a young man's favorite beverage. And if the alcohol is removed Steel Reserve has absolutely nothing else going for it. The Pittsburgh Steelers window probably isn't closing as fast as Pats, Ravens, and Bengals fans would love us to believe...but it does seem to be a little tighter this year.

It turns out Troy Polamalu was far and away the most important component to the puzzle Take it away, and the Steelers are mostly useless. Matty Ice Not this year...unless fans count the last game when the sophomore slumping QB was put on ice for a week. This year, Ryan has been Matty Lightunable to provide the real substance that fans were hoping for, even with new weapon, Tony Gonzalez Bloody Marys are what they are...nothing more. No (sane) man walked into a bar at happy hour and orders a bloody mary. No (able bodied) person ever craves a bloody mary after 11am. No (non-medicated) individual calls bloody mary his or her favorite drink.

Bloody Marys are meant for "hair of the dog" treatment and giving classy people a reason to drink before noon (As if the economy wasn't enough of a reason). The Ravens are a solid, slightly above average, football team...nothing more Couldn't resist. Not only is the color similar between Jets green and the powerful liquid-opiate known as absinthe, the hallucinating properties are eerily similar. The Miami Dolphins are a running teamhitch the cart to the horse, first Ronnie Brown and now Ricky Williams, and roll. In fact, Martinis have acquired a stigma thanks to Bravo-watchers and their bastardization of the once quintessential man's drink. Any person who has consumed an Appletini should immediately send their man card to Mike Golic...he'll know what to do with it.
