Not sure I’ve ever seen anyone sadder/angrier while receiving a silver medal in the Olympics.

This band of snow is a mile wide and stretches from Lake Huron to the Maryland panhandle. It’s been going for an hour now, just like this. Absolutely wild.

I'm sorry but 7 tiers of probability overlaid by 3 tiers of hatching is a recipe for a clusterf*** of a map. There's gotta be a better way. I don't know what that is, but there just has to be.

10.5” so far, still snowing. Will be making a push for an even foot when the bands in OH right now come through later. Snow piles on the side of our driveway are near 6 feet high… tallest from a single day’s snow that I’ve seen since I was a kid in Chicago (1999 maybe?). #Pittsburgh #snow

I see the Steelers are still stuck in the 2000’s while the rest of the NFL enters the second half of the 2020’s

My thoughts are that I feel old every time I read Nathan Scheelhaase’s name. Drove down from Champaign to Houston to watch him beat up on RGIII and Baylor in the Texas Bowl during undergrad. I miss the days when guys my age were players. Now they’re becoming coaches?

Arthur Smith has two seasons as OC/HC in which his team ranked top 10 in pts/gm: 2019 and 2020 when Derrick Henry alone rushed for a combined 3500 yards and 33 TDs.

Without generational talent at RB, his teams have averaged ~20th in the league.

WTF did the Steelers expect when hiring him???

Thank you for Ben Johnson. We owe you one. Wild to think we went 5-12 last season.

We could get blown out in the divisional round and I don't even care. Going to be riding this high for a while. To eliminate the Packers is practically a Super Bowl in itself for fans that have been waiting for a playoff win since the Packers beat us in the conf championship in 2010.

The Bears are not a "deep playoff run" team, but they sure feel close. I hope this year is a sign of good ones to come.

That said, I wish we were seeded against literally any other team. Win or lose I'd feel better. Broncos, Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Eagles, I don't care. Just not the Packers, man.

The Lions having possession of the football for less than a minute the entire 3rd quarter is a wild stat.

A coworker and I figured out a 26 team bracket where all 10 conference champions get in + the next top 16. The top 6 get a first round bye. No more bowls. If remaining teams want a postseason they can come up with an NIT-equivalent.
