"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed, my wife standing behind me cleaning a few things up before we headed for bed last night.
It was moments prior that I had seen that the Steelers had cut Max Starks. Even now, I don't know why I reacted that way. I knew as well as anyone that the fall-off from Starks to Jonathan Scott, who finished out the season at left tackle last year following Starks' season-ending neck problems, was negligible once Scott got his Heinz Legs under him.

How to Rob a Pirate (or a whole team of them)
1) Become an umpire
2) Wait for the 19th inning of a game that involves the Pittsburgh Pirates
3) Decide you have better things to do
4) Call a guy safe who was tagged before his toes crossed the center of the batter's box
I didn't watch the game. I live in Raleigh, and a Pirates' game here is a rare treat (or, in the preceding 17 seasons, a nightmare). But I heard about it, read about it, and then watched the only moment that matters. And there is only one conclusion to be drawn.
The Pirates were robbed.
