For a game fairly played and fairly won. They got outplayed, but they hung in and beat my beloved Steelers.

Now, if you will all excuse me, I have to drive to Pittsburgh and shoot the kicker. :mad:

Sorry to hear about Pittsburgh. No, really.

Thanks. A 3 point game can always go either way. Oh, BTW, I posted my thread 4 minutes before this one, so no fair claiming I’m not showing class! 😉

As it took the kicker to blow the damn game, I look forward to the rematch.

Next time, you won’t be so lucky. 😉

Icky. Icky icky icky.

Still, the Stillers and the Ravens both did their darndest.

And don’t shoot Kris Brown, we need him. He is…err…was, until today, one of the best kickers in the league, and was going 11 for 13 for the season thus far. Don’t asked me what the heck went on today, but I s’pose everybody looses their zone every now and then.

Still ikcy, though.

Yes, **Airman** , I’m sorry too. The Steelers are…er, a good team. Really.  
::snigger::  
It’s alright though, my Bucs lost too. And it’s because of **Shibb**. But that’s another thread.

I was wondering when you were gonna show up, **ladyfoxfyre**.

After the smack I talked to you, I deserve everything you can give me right now. Just remember one thing, though…

When the Stillers are in the Big Game and you’re watching Warren Sapp in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, I’ll be grinning ear to ear. 😛

I didn’t say anything mean in my last post, I was actually pleasantly polite for the most part. I haven’t said anything yet about how the Steelers got rocked, or why they suck. Not a peep out of me. You wanna know why? Because I am going to be the bigger person here. I am not going for the cheap shots like saying how Bettis the Bus crashed a long time ago, or how he is an old man, or anything mean like that.  
Because it is unnecessary. But that’s alright. The Bucs lost today too, so we need not speak of this Sunday to anyone.

Please, by all means, be the bigger person.

While you’re doing that, I’ll just continue being the incorrigible wiseass that I am.

Nothing personal. It’s all in jest. 🙂

Hahahaha… **Airman Doors** , you’re a great guy. And we have a lot of fun, don’t we?

😃
