keep on talkin'



i love when opposing teams spend the week before they play us running their mouths.

"People keep asking me if we're ready for the Patriots," [DB Anthonty] Smith said. "They should be asking if they're ready for us." ... "We're going to win," Smith said. "Yeah, I can guarantee a win...."

as i recall, this may have happened a time or two in the past. and i am pretty sure the team with "the promises" didn't end up living up to their end of "the deal." so without being cocky about it, the more Anthony Smith stands by his guarantee, the more the past gives me a little bit of hope that New England could actually move one more small step forward in this already amazing season.

anyone else on the Steelers have something to add?

because i am fairly certain that if we've learned anything this season, it's that the Patriots thrive on reasons to get fired up & play games that result in accusations of running up the score.

4 with their own thoughts:

Ugh: some no name player guaranteeing a win. Can we start a drive to stop this in sports? What happens if they are wrong?

Nothing: yet, they promise a win. This is one of my sports pet peeves.

Just play the game, Jr.

And may the best team win.

Besides, you just got yourself a angry Randy Moss: Congratulations.

::shakes head:: This drives me crazy too, Ted. And as we've now seen... ;-)

How prophetic, I'm impressed! Did you see the quote yesterday from the Jet who said something like "I hope we don't get beat too badly" - sounds like they learned something from Smith running his mouth.

Scott: I had not heard about that. It's unfortunate. I was hoping for another little motivator for this week. Although they can say what they want in their press conferences, but starting all the "Spy Gate" nonsense will certainly fire the boys up. Channeled anger can be a beautiful thing. ;-)
