expert football analysis

So hear is a bit of local wisdom passed down via the Los Angeles Times.

"That offensive line had been derided all season - and rightly so - for its protection breakdowns and its inability to open holes the way Pittsburgh has in the past. In yesterday's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, columnist Ron Cook told the story of Steelers tackle Willie Colon walking through the Wal-Mart parking lot recently when a fan drove past and offered his opinion.

"He rolls down his window and says, 'You guys had better bleepin' protect,'" Colon told Cook. "I was like, 'Dude, I'm just here to get a loaf of bread.'"

So that's all it takes, a running game and a loaf of bread to beat the Ravens. Football commentary and analysis is terrible. Of course you need to be able to protect the QB and run the ball...without those two things its over. Why aren't there detailed comparisons of blitz packages or particular types of run/pass defenses against offensive plays favored by either team. That's what I want to read, not some jackass yelling at a O-lineman in a bakery.

And I would pay to see Jay pull his hair out during the game.
