Random Thoughts

The most my Christmas-harried mind can come up with right now is a list, in no particular order: 1. The Steelers became the third team to lose their next game following their meeting with the Patriots.

Just look at him at the press conference when he did the "Pig Sooey!" thing. His heart was barely in it. That last "Sooey" barely had any heart in it at all. Please pray for him. Petrino spoke out about it yesterday at the SEC spring meetings. "It was an unfortunate thing because of the timing. The timing of it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life." [...] "[The ...
