I thought of you when I checked my FB page and saw all my h.s. and college friends celebrating madly in fevered disbelief and all my local friends in mourning. For the record, the Bengals probably needed this morale boost--really, they only win a handful of games most seasons and it's very discouraging for their fans. Still, that probably doesn't make you feel a lot better.... Oh Crystal, I am sorry for your Steelers, despite being born and bred in Cincinnati.

Sorry it ruined a great date night. (But I was revived by my take down of my FF opponent :-) Best wishes for the coming week - oh wait, you play your Dad and he needs a win!!!!

And it got even quieter when I checked the score box on the fantasy football as well...Meghan's team spanked mine this week! I had been looking forward to watching the Sunday night game as her qb and mine were playing opposite eachother, but she had already taken such a lead I knew it was a done deal.I hope by Tuesday some of the funk wears off at the circus house and you can look ahead to San Diego.And I'm thinking you're due for a fantasy win as well.

Hopefully they use this week to get it together. I missed the game, but I’m feeling pretty down about our Steelers, too. Hopefully they use this week to get it together.
