Down, but Not Out
Aaron Rodgers said it best in a post game interview in 2014, "R-E-L-A-X." The Steelers and their fans need to take that message and apply it. The Steelers did suffer a brutal loss to the Denver Broncos Sunday. Does that make the Steelers a fluke? The answer is no. Let's break down what happened and see what this loss might mean for the Steelers and the rest of the league down the rode.

Week 13 NFL Picks Against the Spread
Week 13 in the NFL, it's wild that we are already at this point in the season with only a month left of regular season games. I am on record of being an NFL hater, but even I have to admit, this season has been a ton of fun. Lot of great stories, so before getting to the picks, here is a quick snapshot of why this season has been so much fun (even if as a Giants fan, the Giants season has not been that fun except for Saquon Barkely being awesome):

Week 12 Picks Against the Spread
The streak is over. After going over .500 for about a month with my picks, last week was the first sub .500 week in a while. I would like to thank the Atlanta Falcons for screwing me once again. I went against my own rule of never backing the Falcons and it came back to bite me, because of course it did.

Andrew Luck for Comeback Player of the Year?. Top Story - November 2018.
Many experts and fans didn't know coming into the 2018 season how Colts QB Andrew Luck would fare this season. After missing the entire 2017 season due to shoulder surgery in his throwing shoulder, there were a lot of murmurs wondering if he will be the same QB again. Luck reassured fans and experts that he will come back better than he was, and his actions are reflecting that statement. Luck has once again threw the Colts into playoff contention, and it's safe to say that he should win the comeback player of the year award.

NFL Week 11 Picks Against the Spread
Week 11 NFL. Can't believe we are already here; the season is flying by. And you know what? Time needs to slow down and chill the fuck out for a bit. Seriously time, how about you relax? It seems like a two weeks ago it was still somewhat warm outside in New York. Now it is fucking freezing, and I am not handling this well. I shouldn't have to wear a winter coat in mid-November—brutal. I need to get somewhere warm and get myself a tan ASAP.

From Rubber to Steel
It’s Week 4, you lost to a division rival on primetime, and you face the reality you’re 1-2-1. You realize that you need a lot of help around you and you need to put your head down and win. That is exactly what the Steelers did and they’re now the second seed in the AFC. The Steelers are 5-0 since Week 4, and they aren’t just winning games, they’re dominating. How did the Steelers get this far?

Week 10 NFL Picks Against the Spread
There is a ton going on in the world of sports. NBA season is in full effect and has ton of juicy story lines (Warriors are ridiculous, LeBron drama, the Raptors with and without Kawhi Leonard are so legit, Giannis etc); the NHL season as well. Additionally, college football is getting close to its playoff and the standings are constantly changing (except for Alabama who just kicks the shit out of everyone they play; its like clockwork). And then there was college basketball's opening night last night which featured many top ten teams and most importantly the debut of the Duke super freshman RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, and Zion Williamson, who looks like a cross between Charles Barkley and a member of the X-Men—my goodness. Those three kids are, in all likelihood, going to be three of the top five picks in the upcoming NBA draft.

Are the Steelers Contenders or Pretenders?
Ah yes it is that time of year again and I’m not talking about the holiday season, I am talking about second half football. With the 23-16 defeat over the Baltimore Ravens Sunday, the Steelers stayed atop the AFC North. The Steelers have been hot lately. Offense and defense are finally complimenting each other on the field and the “Fire Tomlin,” crowd seems to be hiding. Have the Steelers done enough to be contenders?

I Got Tickets to Last Year’s Super Bowl. Here’s How I Did It.. Top Story - November 2018.
Imagine my horror, watching my beloved Philadelphia Eagles crush the heavily-favored Minnesota Vikings to advance to their first Super Bowl in 14 years. No, I was not upset because they had pulled off the unlikely upset, I was overjoyed about that.
