    It looked suspicious to me is all, even after seeing slow-mo. Looked like he was leaning down to make a shoulder tackle and his head met McGahee's before his shoulder did. Doesn't make much of a difference now though, does it?

    That's awful. Even Willie and the Poorboys wouldn't approve.

    Seriously? This is bad?

    I know you guys hate Pittsburgh, but shit, at least take worthwhile shots.

    Early in the evenin' just about supper time,
    Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind.
    Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
    Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

    Down On The Corner, out in the street,
    Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
    Bring a nickel; tap your feet.

    Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
    Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
    Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
    Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

    High-priced CBS analyst Bill Cowher doesn't even get a chance to get a word in on the post-game show. Sheesh!!!!

    The playlist when Willis was down seems to be the most important topic.

    Someone asked, I answered. Personally I don't give a f*ck what was playing.

    Problem is, this thing doesn't happen in super slo-mo. It happens at 20 mph. Their heads hit first, yes. But Clark led with his shoulder. You can see that he dipped it. His helmet was around McGahee's shoulders. So when McGahee turns and instinctively turtles up to protect himself, he dips his own head and takes the shot to the helmet. It was a clean, hard hit.

    Would you rather everyone pile on you? Anything with "Down" or "Out" or anything that implies that was a piss-poor choice of music and you'd think, even the Stillers music guy, would have at least some clue as to not play something that stupid!

    I saw Antwan Randle-El interview him for NFL Network after the game. For what it's worth, Ward said he would be ready to play.

    I do understand what it looked like full speed. I saw several replays. It was called a clean hit on the field, then it's a clean hit. Unfortunately this kind of stuff happens all too often.
