BTSC Steelers Daily Six Pack- I Don't Give A Damn Edition

by drinkyourmilkshake on Sep 17, 2009 2:47 PM EDT Comment 67 comments

IX-Bo Scaife accused James Harrison of a "cheap shot" after the Thursday Night Game when Harrison dove at Scaife near the sidelines after he caught a short pass. James Harrison's response?

"I don't give a damn what he said, If I hit high, I get fined. If I hit him low, I keep money in my pocket."

X-BTSC's favorite beat writer Jim Wexell has some notes on this weeks match-up against the Chicago Bears in a free article from his scout.com site. Wexell thinks one of the major keys to this weeks game is Daniel Supulveda's punting against standout Devin Hester. Wexell also noted the amount of pressure that Casey Hampton was able to get on quarterback Kerry Collins last week and that on some occasions the Titan's offensive line was so pre-occupied on the linebacking corp that they actually forgot to block Hampton a few times. Hampton joked that he is working hard on his closing speed to get at Jay Cutler this week.

XIII-The new SBNation homepage has launched and it really is a huge step up from the old homepage that was much more like a directory. The new page rivals the big boys like ESPN with it's constant updates and information on the world of sports. Also, every once and a while I try to highlight a different blog or two on SBNation and this time I recommend you check out "The Daily Forehand" the SBNation blog devoted to all things Tennis. The Daily Forehand was actually one of the first places to report he big Serena Williams blow-out at the U.S. Open.

XIV-Vince Young has had perhaps one of the most bizarre careers in his short time in the NFL. After winning a national championship his stock was high, he was drafted early and eventually won the rookie of the year award. But since then he has been benched and bizarre reports about Young have emerged creating an uncertain future for the former Texas Longhorn superstar. Regardless of how the rest of his NFL career will unfold this story about him from the Tennessean is a heartwarming story about Vince helping out his mentor and Idol Steve McNair's children in their time of need.

XL-ChristmasApe of Kissing Suzy Kolber and DC Steeler Nation put together a photo collage of what he would like to see on Sunday afternoon in Chicago. I agree.

XLIII-It's fun to watch a work in progress and Cotter from OFTOT and Tecmo from PSAMP are on their way to having a solid pregame show. Here is the this weeks installment.

Funny...

Every player with dreads does look like a predator, to me at least.

Me and my friends refer to Ty Carter as “Mini-Pred”. Isn’t that adorable?

Also, I’m pretty big in the UK too. Little known fact.

Nice job on the lighting guys

Maybe for the next pregame, the lamp could be moved behind the camera.

I also like how the objects on the table give the appearance that they may not be wearing pants.

So I’d say this professional production ranks right there with The Jerome Bettis Show on Channel 11.

Maybe some kind of background

You could borrow Ed Bouchette’s yellow sheet maybe.

Definitely take the lamp out of the shot since the camera light balance is doing the light metering using that bright spot

Semi-funny Swine flu story...

A local high school near me believes they have a swine flu outbreak (not the funny part). In order to combat this highly contagious pandemic, they’ve decided to hold a town meeting in the school gymnasium. What better way to fight a communicable disease than to gather as many people as possible into a small stuffy room where everyone shares eachother’s air? (That’s the semi funny part) I’m betting if in the middle of the meeting someone sneezes and the room erupts in a panic filled stampede for the door.

by NYSteelersFan4 on Sep 17, 2009 3:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yea, that sucks

They sent out an email to all students at University of Maryland saying that there were 256 cases of Flu in the first 1 of fall semester and that they are doing everything in their power to get it under control. Yesterday, I looked at the front page of the Baltimore Sun, and it is a student with a mask over her face and the headlines says “560 cases reported at University of Maryalnd.” They sure got it under control. Doubled the amount in 10 days.

Weird

If you go over to the Bears blog there are no fanposts or stories about the game against us. A little bit too quiet…

Unlike the one last week, when you guys did us a favor by beating the Titans. I would love to see Lamar Woodley playing the role of karma burst Jay Cutler’s spleen though. Good luck this week guys.

" James Harrison's response - "I don't give a damn what he said, If I hit high, I get fined. If I hit him low, I keep money in my pocket.""

Man there is something about quotes from guys like him and Woodley and Tomlin. I just love great Steelers quotes!

Didn’t the NFL fine Steelers players about $100K last year in total? At least 6 or seven players got it, some multiple times. Sure one could say “that shows that the Steelers are dirty” but I think it’s BS. The people running the league are a bunch of buffoons these days! I have seen very few good rule changes since I’ve been watching closely this decade. And forcing teams to give up a home game to play in London? I’d like to see the day they try that crap with the Steelers. We’d revolt! ok sorry rant over.

Meant to say “that candy apple”…meaning Bo Scaife is a fat human being, and he looks like a candy apple. His body would be the apple and his legs would be the stick.

Doesn’t Polamalu get fined like 10 or 15K every game because his hair covers up his name?
If so, that alone could be 3x as much as the rest of the team combined!

I heard 9-11 was planned by Belichick

He said he would use it to offset the balance of the league. He would then use the calamity to slip in his sinister plan of video surveillance. Then he would use the newly found patriotism to get the nation behind them. The plan worked and the rest is history.

Can someone help me

This is the second different player that said Harrison’s hit was a cheap shot. I don’t see it, the guy was facing Harrison, harrison hit low wrapped up and took his man down, text book. That is how you are suppose to tackle especially in the open field. Its unfortunate that the guy got hurt on the play but I saw nothing dirty about it. Maybe if the guy wouldn’t have been trying to do some weird move he wouldn’t have gotten hurt but who knows. If people wanna complain about cheap shots maybe they should just turn it to two hand touch. Its a man’s game, there was no flag on the play so it was clean as far as I saw.

Truth is

I see all kind of hits every week by DBs and LBs on RBs, FBs, and TEs that look like they could hurt someone. They always go low and it always looks like it could be catasrophic…and frankly, I’m surprised that major injuries don’t happen more often.

This just happened to be one of the more awkward looking situations. I think Harrison was a little off balance as he tried to lunge at him a little early while Scaife was still backpedaling. So what would have been a wrapup at around waist level turned into a hit around the knee. But Harrison just adjusted mid dive to make sure he at least got Scaife around legs in order to slow him up.
