Damn! Someone broke the code

You can usually count on the idiot sportwriters to make stupid predictions and then back it up with wishful thinking.

I like that, because it let's the Pittsburgh Steelers -- incredibly -- fly under the radar.

Unfortunately, Peter Schrager of Fox News didn't buy the head fake.

His story is here:

Among his predictions are that the 2009 Steeler defense will be better than last years's model... and that Big Ben will hoist the Lombardi.

-Gulp!-

Let's hope this doesn't catch on! The last thing I want is the Steelers to feel like they can win by showing up... (I'm sure everyone remembers 2006... When the coach sleep walked through the season, and Ben had one medical emergency after another?)

I prefer the Peter Kings of the world waxing on and on about how San Diego and New England are the teams to beat... I really do...
