I apologize in advance for the litany of “Pickett’s charge” memes we may be exposed to going forward.
This isn’t to say PICKETT’S GAHNTA SUPERBOWL all UrinatingTree style. I honestly have no clue what to make of Kenneth Shane Pickett. He looked fine at times in 2022, after Tomlin wasn’t feeling like Kissing Tittays any longer after one half against the J-E-S-T. Truth Biscuit’s tenure as starting quarterback for the Stillers last about as long as one could have reasonably expected. This franchise doesn’t waste first round picks on quarterbacks often, and HE WENT TO PITT WOOOO only added his eventual supplanting of Truth Biscuit in the second half of the season. Mike Tomlin’s previously lives as some kind of sorcerer continued to limp this suddenly-mediocre team to it’s inevitable winning/non-losing season at 9-8.
This is now Kenny Pickett’s team, to either become the next Bradshaw or the next (TRIGGER ALERT FOR GUMBYGIRL) Mark Malone. .. Najee Harris is going into his junior season, and the team drafted men mountains in left tackle Brodrick Jones and tight end Darnell Washington. Receivers George Pickens (Pickett-to-Pickens is the here to irritate you), Dionte Johnson, newly-signed Allen Robinson, and tight end Pat Frieirereirmuth are a fine set of weapons. Really the only thing holding Pickett back — fairly or not — is coordinator Matt Canada.
Defense should also be better. Cam Heyward is somehow in his dozenth year. TJ Watt was a fluky pectoral tear away from possibly repeating as DPOY. Patrick Peterson has decided to join the secondary, in a reverse Stillers-to-Cardinals to retirement plan. Honestly, if they get anything even approaching mediocre from the inside linebackers, the entire unit is a top-ten, if not top-five. Yes, really.
If the team doesn’t go all Ravens and asploe injury-wise, 11-7 isn’t asking for too much. Tomlin being The Standard which other standards are standardized by, Pickett continuing to grow, and a reliable defense tells me 10-7, five-seed, and a Wild Card win over… let’s say, Moe.
Pittsburgh is good at reloading and developing. Even when they regress, they’re not bad, they’re just average.
Too soon to know what you got in Pickett, but if they give him time and a running game, he’ll be okay.
Look Wander Franco is accused of some horrible things but he’s not even the worst historical Franco.
John Franco caused many elderly in the tri-state area to have heart attacks and possibly anal bleeding from his 9th innings. And caused 14 year old to have suicidal thoughts whenever he came into a game.
Really makes you think, people.
Well, just go ahead and close this thread down. That’s not getting topped, pun somewhat intended.
No mention of Franco Harris, and how John Madden blubbered & whined whenever his name was mentioned?
Let’s not forget how Franco-American ruined many lunches for kids who were hoping for Spaghettio’s.
“There’s this vacuum that’s on sale right now…” – the Dr. Mrs., just now
Given my hangover, I should be thanking my lucky stars we’re just talking about vacuums instead of her actively running one.
Wait until you get to the store.
It’d be at Costco – I’m very much looking forward to that trip, actually. Free samples, air conditioning…
Frustrated moms trying to keep their brood focused while back-to-school shopping all around is better than a spa day!
My Costco already has Halloween stuff out
The Dr. Mrs. dream vacuum:
I found the next road trip for y’all

I think Peterson is going to be doped up to his eyeballs this season. He’s either gonna make you wonder how he’s still doing it….or he’s going to be suspended for having radioactive pee.

See, I told you people that blaxabbath was in league with the Saudis. Has been since 2020, from the look of it.

He looks like a serial killer. Crazy eyes.
It’s not wrong to eat pie for breakfast, right? It’s basically the same as eating a danish.
It’s the breakfast of champions!
Chocolate goes great with menthol, too
It has two of the food groups- fruit and crust! Three if you use Cool Whip.
Better be cutting yourself off a nice big helping of THAT POONTANG PIE!!!!!
It would be wrong not to eat pie for breakfast. How dare we force foods into arbitrary boxes based on stereotypes? That’s just holding them back from being the best food they can be!
I took today off and last night completely spaced that Monday was looming. Sorry about the lack of a draft.
Damn, got almost all the way through the off-season without screwing that up.
Let’s draft “screwups”. With my first pick I take…you.
With the second pick I’ll take
I’ll take the Blair Witch!
Good call, wish I’d thought of that.
Lack of a draft = Hippo’s current a/c situmalation. GUH
No AC? In some parts of North Cackalacky, that constitutes a war crime.
It is now working-ish. Replacement control board should hopefully settle things down for good-ish. But I fear I have a daemon in my electrical system or sommet. Too many unusual problems.
This is a major reason why The South is so messed up: their brains are literally boiling at all times.
After opening up my electric bill to see $493+ I am sitting around in my underwear with the AC off and the shades drawn.
Rapidly approaching “Crazy Hermit Guy” status.
Frankly it’s kind of freeing.
Keeping a paddock for Lowratio at the right climatic conditions appears to be expensive.
Mine was 576 and we spent a week in Big Bear, with the AC set at 86. I was afraid to set it higher, in case the walls started sweating. I keep it at 78 normally, and I try not to use any other stuff during peak hours.
I believe that’s Allen Robinson II, Electric Boogaloo
Title caption – “We’re lawyers!”
I know you meant it for Gumbygirl, but I got the heebie jeebies when I saw the name that shall not be named.
With Hippo, it’s Tommy Maddox (Tebow is its own chapter of awfulness), which I understand has some spillover to Yinz.
* Neil O’Donnell has entered the chat *
Let’s all agree that his name should never be mentioned again, in case we somehow summon him from the fiery depths of hell!
“Pfft. Stop being such scaredy-cats. Mentioning his name doesn’t do anything. Voldemort. I’ll do it even louder – VOLDEMORT! See? Nothing happened.” – Eli Manning, fervently hoping you don’t triple dog dare him to mention the name a third time
