Even when he whiffs, Troy makes the opposition think, always goes all out, and entertains us.
I’m sorry, but this just cracks me up and I need to post it again, this time as an animated GIF courtesy of Steelers Depot. In the not too distant future, Troy will be a fond and fading memory, and we need to enjoy this lunatic while we still can.

No, I don’t mean this perverted drug-addled gasbag to the left. Rather, I was startled to learn from an article at ESPN that the Ray Rice Ravens have been a worse rushing team than the Steelers so far this season. Newly minted Steelers rusher Le’Veon Bell has a paltry average of only 2.8 yards, but that is exactly the same average of both Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce. Bell at least has the excuse of being a green rook with only a couple of partial games under his belt. As the chart shows, the Ravens overall yards per rush is actually worse than the Steelers, and that’s saying something.
The concussion issue hit home last week when my son suffered a significant concussion playing HS football . He plays slot receiver and was knocked silly by a helmet to helmet hit . Its taken several days laying in a dark room just to get rid of the headache & nausea . After a MEG & MRI and failing all the cognitive tests , the DR ended his season. He cant go to school , he cant drive , he cant watch TV . It was his first concussion that we know of. After all he’s been through , the kid is devastated and all he can talk about is playing his senior season . Are we crazy to even consider letting him play football again ? I am so torn because its all he’s ever loved . The kid works out year round just to play football . At what point do you say …. enough ? At what point is it just not worth it ? Is it okay to watch other young men risk their health playing this violent barbaric game and not let your own play ?
What would you do ?

Ok, this is the part where I get up on my soap box and piss some of you off and then send Jason “Chico and The Man” off on a rant.
Whether you are religious or not, and I am, you have to see the absolute hypocrisy, not to mention douchebaggery, in trying to use the “God is on my side” Defense for any episode for which you are criticized, much less one for which you are being investigated criminally and have been fired for.
What you are basically saying is, “I don’t have a salient argument to defend what I have done, so I am going to tell you that you are wrong and that I don’t have to listen to you because I believe that what I did was right. Further, since you disagree with me, you are a part of the problem. I will disregard what you have to say and do everything in my power to render your views completely irrelevant. Because, while they might make sense if I actually stopped to consider them, they also contradict my own views and I’m too small minded to consider the possibility that I could be wrong.”
This one situation is a microcosm of what is wrong with our society right now. From a political and social standpoint, we figuratively run around with our fingers in our ears yelling, “Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, I’m not listening to you!” anytime someone says something we disagree with. This doesn’t even touch on the fact that most religious people don’t try to hide behind their religion when they’ve acted badly because they know it’s hypocritical and sends the wrong message to people who are inherently distrustful and intolerant of organized religion.
And I also posted it just because Deion Sanders is a F%^king Jagoff.
