Funny - you never replied to my post-Halloween PM.

I love the Steelers, but until this season I was worried Kordell's sister screwed up his head.

Is Roth the next Bradshaw?

Loved it.

here's your reply...
I should have ordered a pizza from this guy

"Vincents Pizza cook Chris Nemanic watches the Steelers losing to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game this evening. Not only was Nemanic disappointed as a fan, but pizza sales plummeted along with the team's performance, leaving him with nothing to do at the Plum restaurant but watch the game to the bitter 41-27 end.

I wonder if OWK ever looks at his old Steelers posts.
yeah, it's a new season, but damn old obie-wan really stepped on his dick last year.
