Ed: Frostee Rucker is over his illness & listed as Probable for Sunday.  I'll let him know you were asking about him.

Looks like Dalton is Probable as well.  Which is nice because I don't have any idea who the emergency backup would be if Dalton couldn't play & Gradkowski gets knocked out of the game Sunday.

Hey now, he seems like a good guy!  "Frostee is also a supporter of many philanthropic endeavors. From taking families grocery shopping, to organizing clothing drives for The Salvation Army, Frostee Rucker enjoys giving back to the community."  Courtesy of his wikipedia page.  The spousal battery and vandalism charges were nowhere to be found though.  I'll take the sunshine and cheery view! :thumbsup:

NFL wants full patdowns.  :rolleyes:

Installing metal detectors would be much more effective I think.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

What if somebody makes a shank out of a toothbrush?  Metal detectors won't get that.

Yet another example of the fear that has gripped the US.

I don't see the Seahawks out-physicalling the Steelers, and they don't have the tools to beat them with precision.  They don't have good receivers, they don't have a good quarterback, and their running back situation is passable at best.  Unless Roethlisberger was reduced to retardation by the pounding he took last week, they won't need the refs for this one like they did in '05.
Oh, yeah, it's going to be brutal (just check out the betting line). Jackson will be lucky if he retains the use of his extremities afterward. Adding the ref is just rubbing salt in the wound.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

There aren't many times I would give up double digits in a point spread in an NFL game but this is one where I would.  The Steelers are gonna hammer the Seachickens.

Yeah, there isn't a lot of give on that linebacker corps for injuries, especially with injuries to DBs requiring them to call a guy up.  They weren't going to cut Kindle, even though Phillips is probably more of an impact player right now.  We'll see, but Kindle is starting to look like he might be a candidate to play for the Bengals.

Kruger's conversion to LB from DE hasn't helped those like Phillips on the outside looking in, either.  Quite frankly, they're too stacked, and Phillips is a typical 3-4 ILB on a team with a lot of 3-4 ILB talent.

Yeah, no shit.  McClain, Ellerbe and Ayanbedejo are all there fighting for the honour of playing next to Ray Lewis.  I'd be surprised if Phillips cleared waivers though.

"The way the Ravens beat down the Steelers, given the normally close nature of these games, cannot be overstated. I'm on record as saying this might be the best Ravens team ever, and I still might have underestimated them." -- Brian Billick

Well, it was certainly impressive, but I defer judgement until Week 7 or 8.  That said, the last time that the Ravens blew the Steelers up like this, they finished 13-3.

Edit:  Make that Week 9, because that's the last competitive game that the Ravens have this year other than San Diego.
