Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

…and I’ve dealt with Mikey Cortese, so that’s saying something.

Take a look at this letter-to-the-editor which appeared in the Dullest Moaning Snooze the other day:

Our country is facing some serious medical and legal issues resulting from our love of violent sports, and we must find alternatives to those dangerous activities.

For example, flag football could easily replace the violent version of football, and it can be more exciting than basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis or golf.

One good way to play the game involves two quarterbacks passing the ball back and forth while being chased by a pass rusher in the backfield. He forces the quarterback with the ball to find an open receiver downfield or to dump the ball to the other quarterback, creating many exciting moments.

And since every play is a pass play, and every offensive player is an eligible receiver, there are more play options available than in a regular football game. When the athletes no longer need bulky pads and helmets, their increased speed and agility makes their patterns more precise, and the game more thrilling.

Well, yeah, maybe.&#160 If you like your tiddlywinks with an oblong ball, that is.

But check out the money quote:

However, if people still prefer the violent sports which bring millions of injuries to children and adults, then they probably have serious issues which go well beyond the subject of sports.

Okay, now that we’ve established that this guy’s a pansy-ass, here’s&#160 the kicker:

Joseph Carducci, Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh.&#160 As in, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.&#160 As in, Steeler Country.

One could postulate that there is a very&#160 good reason that this didn’t appear in, say, the Post-Gazette.&#160 Can you imagine how many Steeler fans would be hunting this chickenshit RightAboutNow&#153?

Congratulations, Reverend Mykki.&#160 I finally found someone who has even less balls than you do.

Now for the football.&#160 We have Andy Dalton’s Cincinnati Bengals traveling to Hotlanta to hook up with the Falcons tonight on the Four-Lettered Network™ I’ll try to keep an eye on that one.

Tomorrow night, we have Gary Kubiak’s Houston Texans going up to Minne-haha to play the Vi-Queens.&#160 TV around here, though, will be showing Cowgirlz-RAAAAAIIIIIDUHHHHHHS around 9:00-ish.&#160 ‘Girlz safety Matt Johnson is back home on the sideline with an injury, so all is back to normal.

Saturday night we’ll have the NY Football Douchebags playing the aforementioned Steelers of Pittsburgh.&#160 Widdle Joey Carducci can identify with his fellow pusstard, E-why (Wo)Manning.

Sunday, we have Beefalo traveling to Indian-hapless to launch Year Two of the Andrew Luck Era&#153. Again, no one of note will play many snaps.

We’re back Monday with the recaps.&#160 In the meantime, do I have a Denizen in Pittsburgh, by chance…?&#160
