I’ll have to watch it again. Last night I didn’t hear the “hea-tails!”, just “tails”.

People usually get together with their family on Thanksgiving. To their fans the combination of corndogs, a Steelers game, and fucking your sister all on the same day is rough on your heart. It’s a safety issue.

I really think this is one of those hearing what you want to hear things like satanic messages in metal songs played backwards. I’ve heard that a hundred times and don’t hear the “hea-” at all. I listened 10 more times and I surely don’t “clearly” hear it. It’s not worth arguing about (15 years ago!) I do like that the cites given are pro-referee sites.

The worst part of that game was losing to Charlie Batch.

Can’t we all just agree that Thanksgiving games suck?

As someone who doesn’t live where my team plays and feels lucky when he can see maybe half the games during a season in his own home, I am excited for a Thanksgiving game so nah nah nah-nah nah! 🙂
