Its Roethlisberger...

I know, perhaps his two Super Bowl rings blinded your memory of his name. But I just love how fans of other teams continue to disparage Ben ("a violent sex-offender???) when he was charged and convicted of, well, NOTHING. But hey, you have Rey Lewis on your team, who actually pleaded guilty to a misdeameanor of obstruction of justice (I would have too to avoid a murder charge) but we conveniently forget about that one . Oh, and not to mention Donte Stallworth...he only drove drunk and killed a man...another model citizen!!!

On to the game itself. Several factors in the Steelers favor. One, they are well rested. Couple this with the Ravens playing on a six day week and they should be able to wear Baltimore down come the second half. Two, the Steelers are at home and have a very high success rate in Pittsburgh in this round of the playoffs (The AFC Championship round, is another story). Three, they never loose to divisional opponents in the playoffs. Period. Four, Roethlisberger (I repeated his name in case you forgot), has the advantage over "Skinny Joe". While I have been impressed with Flacco's maturation over the past three seasons, Big Ben has repeatedly shown he has the ability to make big plays when needed. All Ben does is win. (he has the third highest winning percentage of QB's who have started at least 75 games in NFL history...only behind HOF Joe Montana and HOF in wating Tom Brady)

Barring the unforeseen (special teams TD for example), I see this game as hotly contested early. By the second 1/2 the Steelers should wear the Ravens down and coast to a 24-10 victory. So, have fun at Gillette (its a nice stadium, I've been their many times); you just have to sit there until 2012 when perhaps Baltimore and New England might play again.

I can't wait to see Ray-Ray, T-Sizzle, Skinny Joe, "Big Easy" Ed, Hoozyourmama and the boys from Charm City leave the Steel City heartbroken. It wont be easy though but Troy with flowing Samoan Locks and that Violent Sex Offender QB's, who's name is not worth mentioning, luck will eventually run out.

The Charm City Blackbirds    24
The Septic Tank Blacmksmiths 23

Making my plans for Foxboro, Mass as you read this :)

I believe one killed an innocent pedestrian while drunk and the other was in the same limousine where someone died.

Steelers 17
Poebirds 14

This game can't get here soon enough.

Ray Lewis was covering up for a homey who was involved in a murder in Atlanta.  He may have plead to obstruction of justice. The Atlanta cops were trying to pin the murder on Lewis, but he was not at the scene; Donte Stallworth was on a different team when he was involved in a dui accident in Florida where an intoxicated pedestrian walked out into the street and was struck.  Don't forget Jamal Lewis, he allowed a homey to use his cell phone to order drugs and was charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

Another player was accused of rape -- oh wait, he is on the Steelers, LOL.

Ravens 23

Steelers 17

I was listening to a Baltimore radio station when a reporter was constantly calling Ray Lewis a "The Double Murderer." About a half hour later a lawyer from the firm who represented Lewis said that the reporter and the station were going to find themselves facing a slander and defamation lawsuit. Those words were never mentioned again. Ray stabbed nobody for the record.

As for the obstruction charges. All Ray did was lie to police during questioning and did not cooperate any further. He showed he was loyal to his friends just as he did to the city of Baltimore when he did not leave via free agency. His loyalty is appreciated here GOD BLESS HIM.

As for Stallworth. He fessed up to his crime, took his punishment and paid restitution. Unlike Big Ben who continues to deny any wrongdoing dispite evidence and several witnesses to the contrary. Kharma is a bitch.
