11.27.07 PRETTY MUCH THE WORST GAME EVER
The Steelers beat the Dolphins 3-0 last night, and I'd link to the game report, but what's the fucking point? The game was 3-0. It's not like there are statistics to talk about. John Clayton wrote about the genius field prep:
On Saturday, the grounds crew rolled out two-and-a-half acres of fresh green sod… But a full day of rain ruined the sod. Water seeped under the tarps. The situation was hopeless. Because the sod was positioned over the old field, there was no drainage. Grounds crew members had to resort to using pitch forks to puncture holes in the surface to drain the standing water.
For years I've been an advocate of eradicating the wasteland of Pittsburgh and the surrounding area, and last night just proves my point. The city uses Heinz Field for every high school football game, college football game, Rascal Flatts concert, and redneck wedding in a 100-mile radius, and you have those fucking geniuses to thank for three-plus hours of boredom played in a bog last night.
I think "Pittsburgh Parking Lot" has a nice ring to it.

PRETTY MUCH THE WORST GAME EVER
I shot my girlfriend in the face last night out of boredom.
Halfway through I put on my Benny Hill Theme music CD, and wouldn't you know it, the game was actually sort of funny.
I listened to Rascal Flatts last night outta boredom.
lets see if we can go the entire comment section without talking about the craptacularness of this game.
Since you linked to a John Clayton article I'd like to point out everytime i read one of this articles I like to think that it was written Mr Mackey (the guidane counsellour on South Park) since they look so much alike. Clayton's article aren't that bad when you add "mmmkay" after every sentence.
or you could picture this too (http://withleather.com/post.phtml?pk=3857), both work.

Yeah it was muddy and boring, but Sticky Ricky looked like a complete pussy. That was at least mildly entertaining for a down or two.

It was a good enough game for fantasy defenses.
I watched the first couple plays thinking, "This should be sweet with all the mud and water and stuff". After a while it was more like, "Not so much". So I decided to pull the tile out in my kitchen and dining area and lay some sweet spanish tile. And, I don't know where I'm going with this and I think the coffee I drank gave me the bubble guts.
Uff, while working for the grounds crew at Invesco five years ago, I had to endure a crappy Monday night game against your Seahawks like this.
The kicker? It was preseason.
Pittsburgh/Detroit/Baghdad/Hell….Whats the difference? They all SUCK!
I liked it. Even a 3-0 NFL game is better than 'Dancing with the Stars' or the rest of the crap on Monday nights.
Seriously though……why are they playing all the high school title games there? There aren't any college fields in Pennsylvania who don't have 3-5 more games to host? There isn't a field-turf field in the area? And who puts new sod down 24 hours before a NFL game when there are torrential downpours in the forecast?
Oh, and I'm watching this game for work right now. I'm barely into the second quarter and already I want to rub my eyes with a porcupine.
Aaaahhhh! Progeria! Run, Mmmmmmkkay?

all great questions HHY. definitely hard hitting stuff. However. the answer to all of them is not surprizing.
Pittsburgh, PA.
maybe Cleveland.
and yeah punch and FMF, i'm an idiot. Thanks for pointing it out.
Although to be fair my work doesn't have and won't allow us to put Firefox on our computers, have u guys tried this windows 2000 too? It's got some great features!
Ontario Gov't, yep.
No worries. It's not your fault you're Canadian.
I watched this game…coincidently, I've taken up alcoholism
Are the Steelers so poor that they can't afford field turf??? I think I just answered my own question. Yes, yes they are.
That game was so low scoring it makes me want to watch soccer.
At least Ricky Williams proved that a steady diet of weed and Prozac does not increase joint stability or muscle strength. Who knew?
Anyone else wish that just for this one game Dennis Miller was back?
Yeah… it was that bad.
I have no idea why all of you are hating on the highschool games played at Heinz. The only time highschool teams play there is for one Saturday during the WPIAL championships. I grew up in Pittsburgh (which, by the way, does not deserve all the heat it takes on this site) and played highschool football. One of the best things of my life was winning a championship on the same field the Steelers play on (then Three Rivers). Four highschool games a year, big deal.
Ya pittsburgh is a dump
Here's a bold concept; how about not using sod in a swamp?
Or even going with turf and good drainage in an outdoor venue known for shitty weather?
