Boring Monday Ramble

As always, if you're looking for any meaning whatsoever below, don't bother.

Just another ramble out of the old west.

Concerning "Waves": If you are reading this and at any time feel that it is just terrible and not worth your time, please, discontinue reading and click to another post. It's really quite easy, just move your wrist a tiny amount and press twice with your index finger. Thanks.

Today, Troy Palomolu's wife was mentioned somewhere and I decided to Google her image and found this nice piece about her:

Wow, is that long. Anyway, she seems like a very intelligent and good person.

I also hit the Steelers.com website and looked through pictures ( http://www.steelers.com/video-and-audio/photo-gallery/2010-Pittsburgh-Steelers-Mini-Camp/e304adee-a260-4c2d-94be-47b3320c202b) of the last mini-camp. A few observations:

Picture #5: It's good to see MCFadden back at practice.

#20: Look at the size of Dixon's hands. The ladies will be particularly interested in this trait.

#25: Oh man, this guys legs make Dixon look like a power lifter.

# 28: Bruce Ariens just told Hines Ward he would be assistant coach of the year this year.

#37: A nice picture of this years late round favorite, Johnathan Dwyer. Look at the calves on that guy.

#39: A demonstration of just how skinny the defensive backs legs are. They all look like they have been in wheel chairs for years (Think Avatar).

#41: Here you will see a picture of what has been reported, Urbik snapping the football. Boy, is that intriguing. Are they doing this just for some positional flexibility, or does Kugler see some possibility there?

#48: This is a picture of this years first round choice. Pouncey looks to be quite the physical specimen. He really doesn't look like a lineman in this picture, which suggests his ability to move well for a big man.

#51: This is the first picture of kugler. In all the pictures of him, he seems to be teaching something by showing his players. I'm really hoping he helps the line make a quantum leap this year.

#52: I ask you: Which one of these guys doesn't belong in the picture? (Little Sesame Street reference there, in case Chad Johnson is reading) The answer? Woodley, but not why you think. It's because he is the only one with only one Super Bowl ring.

#56: Ziggy demonstrates that if you are a former number one round pick you can get away with looking over at the lunch buffet while everyone else is paying attention.

#57: In this picture, Randy Fitchner explains how he got his first coaching job.

#66: Here we see Stefen Logan catching the ball. Is there a chance to turn this guy into a Wes Welker type?

#68: I know he is in space all by himself, but Sylvester looks really small.

#70: Thadius Gibson looks like he is playing offensive line. I know he is raw an inexperienced, but he does know he plays defense, right?

#79: Just after this picture, the tackling dummy ran Gay over.

#80: Do you think they included this picture to prove what everyone was thinking wrong?

#92: I think several people noticed Tomlin gaining weight last year. Here he looks like he is back in tip-top form. Maybe he is setting an example for Casey.

Onward:

If you read MMQB you will have noticed Peter King writing another article from his knees about Tom Brady. When will I ever learn?

I love the fact that the Bengals signed Adam "Packman" Jones. My biggest hope is that he takes out the whole defensive backfield some night and they all get arrested. In the near future they will be taking their team picture in prison stripes.

There have been some writings in the press that suggest that Ben may be exhibiting poor behavior because of his many head traumas. At first I thought, B.S. But after some thought, I remembered when my cousin's boy had a sever concussion. He exhibited several behavioral problems, including running outside in the middle of the night and climbing trees. My cousin did the research, and asked the doctors, and they said that it is quite common to have behavioral problems after a concussion. As well, he talked to several people who told him that sometime after a concussion, almost from one day to another, they could think much clearer. I'm not saying this is what happened to Ben, or is happening, but it is food for thought.

I've been reading the blogs lately, and someone needs another hobby to go along with writing on BTSC. How about Photography? It is very relaxing and can take a large amount of free time. No? How about Mountain Biking? It is good for getting your exercise, and also takes up a lot of free time. Not athletic? How about shooting? It is more relaxing than you think and will come in very handy when you finally tip over the edge of sanity.

I read something where the writer disparages the Rooneys over the Big Ben situation and something totally inescapable occurred to me: There are big Ben fans out there that are Ben fans first, and Steelers fans second. Yeah, it blew my mind too. I'm not saying it's wrong, it had just never occurred to me before.

Mr. Bean, would you please look into making you anthem available on Kindle? Please?

Okay, I'm done.

Go Steelers.

P.S. The angry beaver is cracking me up!
