    Yes, those 22 yards rushing on 32 carries that Flacco racked up during the regular season had defensive coordinators staying up nights.

    Tom Brady wasn't much better, but he was better, with 32 yards on 23 carries.

    I'm sorry, but had you ever really watched Flacco before yesterday? It really doesn't seem like it. He is one of the worst rushing quarterbacks in the game.

    According to the broadcast crew, Belichick was concerned about Flacco's habit of, once a game against the Pats, running a good distance for a surprising and vital first down. That's what he did yesterday to keep a touchdown drive alive.

    I saw the play and I heard that, too. That doesn't change the fact that Flacco is one of the worst rushing quarterbacks in the league. There are very few, if any, quarterbacks in the NFL who couldn't have done what Flacco did on that play.

    I would think Brady's cleats high poses more potential damage to him than another player. Dumb play anyway you look at it.

    If Tom Brady could have done that, there wouldn't have been an incomplete pass on fourth down in the end zone.

    Flacco can do it when he has to. I think that's all anyone is saying.

    How pathetic are Yinzer Steelers fans and their accomplices in the local media?

    The hockey team got off to a 2-0 start against two of biggest rivals - and all people on these talk radio shows want to talk about is who should the Steelers fans be rooting for - the hated Ravens or the team that could tie them for six Super Bowls.

    Can't make this shit up.

    Pathetic

    It's intentional. It's the reason why it's an automatic red in soccer, and this is way beyond the line of an automatic red in soccer.

    How many people when sliding onto second or third have a hard time keeping their foot from flying 2-3 feet into the air? The answer rhymes with bun.

    What was pretty sweet was muting the Fox and CBS telecasts and listening to the national radio broadcasts (for some reason could not stream the local football radiocast.)

    Guys were less likely to fawn over the home teams.

    Great work here on "clutch" quarterbacks.

    How unsafe is a coordinator position in the NFL next season when the Ravens shit can theirs so late in the year and still play in the Super Bowl?

    Bill Barnwell has really started to suck. That guy needs an editor more than any writer working today. He has no stats in there, only his "what-if" suppositions, and the thing is too long by 50 percent. And that has been the case the last three weeks he has posted.

    He is not a clutch writer, that is what I have determined from these playoffs.
