So tonight is the big kick off, and for the first time since 2003 it’s not taking place at the not-quite-frozen-yet tundra of Gillette Stadium, instead it’s at Heinz Field, Pittsburgh…
As the Pats aren’t playing I don’t really give a proverbial crap about tonight, and seeing as most of the Pittsburgh team is either injured, moved on or in the commentary booth, it’s hard to even care about them… Without Ben Roethlisberger, Jerome Bettis and Antwan Randle-El, that leaves, what? Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu playing ironman football against the entire Miami Dolphins, and judging by the Dolphins dire performance last year, Hines and Troy might just win…
And what’s with Big Ben? First a major motorbike accident, now a burst appendix, doesn’t this guy even care about his internal organs anymore? Instead they’ll have Charlie Batch at QB tonight, at least it’s an improvement over Tommy Maddox, but not much…
