The Steelers dominate the Browns, win 41-0

The Steelers dominated the Cleveland Browns from the opening kickoff until the final gun, defeating them 41-0 and putting themselves in control of their own destiny in the wild card playoff race.

GO STEELERS!!!!

HEAD COACH BILL COWHER

(On the game) – “I have a lot of respect for Cleveland. I think Charlie Frye is going to be a good quarterback. We were fortunate to come out and play with a lot of energy. All three phases played at a high level. We needed this win. We’re in a situation we know we’ve been in. We’ve been in the playoffs for three weeks now. Nothing will change next week. We have something to build off of now. We will take a break, enjoy Christmas and come back on Wednesday and understand what we have in front of us.”
(On the Steelers’ offense finishing drives) – “It’s big because that is a Cleveland team that has been very good in the red zone. We converted third downs. We talk about situational football – converting in the red zone and on third downs. I thought that was the key to the game.”
(On the play of his team) – “I like to think we are getting better as a football team, and we need to. We are starting to get people back. Our quarterback is starting to look like he is in rhythm. He got the offense going. I thought our special teams were outstanding today. We haven’t had blocks in back-to-back games since I have been here. We are starting to do some things well, and we need to at this time of the year.”
(On peaking at the end of the year) – “The circumstances are such that we don’t have a choice. We were put in that situation by losing those three games in a row. We know the path that is ahead of us. It’s a tough journey, but the guys are looking forward to it.”
(On RB Willie Parker) – “He is going to get better. What people don’t understand is that the more he carries the ball, the better he will become. He is a young player and a first year starter. We are going to have to live with some of his decisions. He has great people around him.”

BEN IS BACK WOO HOO!!!

QB Ben Roethlisberger

(On the game) – “This was one of those games where we clicked really well on offense. Our defense was out there having fun flying around. It was fun watching them today. We had a good day, and it felt good for us.
(On today’s game being the best of the season so far) – “It probably was. It felt good to go out there and do what we wanted to - running and throwing the ball. We may have missed a couple of plays here and there, but we went out and played hard. I give a lot of credit to the Browns. They came out and played us hard. Our offensive line played well, again. They always do a good job.”
(On his thumb feeling better) – “They say I can never throw over 42 yards. We came out this week in practice and tried to air the ball out a little more. I did that a couple of times today. I overthrew a one-on-one, which is not always a bad thing. It was good to get out there and let it loose.”

LB James Harrison

(On the fan who ran on the field) – “He went after V [RB Verron Haynes] and his back was to me. I thought I could safely take him down and hold him until someone came.”
(On the shutout) – “It’s always important to go out there and not let a team score any points on you.”
(On gaining momentum for the playoffs) – “We are building up to that. We are taking everything one game at a time.”

WR Quincy Morgan

(On his touchdown catch) – “My Christmas is good now. I don’t need anything else for Christmas. It feels good. The coaches understand that they have a guy who is going to make plays when he is in the game.”
(On the fans reaction to him) – “I have no reason for a love-hate relationship. I saw a couple of people in the stands with my jersey on. Those people who supported me while I was here - I love you guys. There were some fans who got wishy-washy with me when things were not going well. I had a celebration planned, but I had to get away from them [fans] throwing stuff at me.”

Merry Christmas to our Soldiers that are overseas during this Christmas Season! God Bless!

THE SANDS OF CHRISTMAS

I had no Christmas spirit when I breathed a weary sigh,

And looked across the table where the bills were piled too high.

The laundry wasn't finished and the car I had to fix,

My stocks were down another point, the Chargers lost by six.

And so with only minutes till my son got home from school

I gave up on the drudgery and grabbed a wooden stool.

The burdens that I carried were about all I could take,

And so I flipped the TV on to catch a little break.

I came upon a desert scene in shades of tan and rust,

No snowflakes hung upon the wind, just clouds of swirling dust.

And where the reindeer should have stood before a laden sleigh,

Eight Humvees ran a column right behind an M1A.

A group of boys walked past the tank, not one was past his teens

Their eyes were hard as polished flint, their faces drawn and lean.

They walked the street in armor with their rifles shouldered tight,

Their dearest wish for Christmas, just to have a silent night.

Other soldiers gathered, hunkered down against the wind,

To share a scrap of mail and dreams of going home again.

There wasn't much at all to put their lonely hearts at ease,

They had no Christmas turkey, just a pack of MREs

.

They didn't have a garland or a stocking I could see,

They didn't need an ornament--they lacked a Christmas tree.

They didn't have a present even though it was tradition,

The only boxes I could see were labeled "ammunition."

I felt a little tug and found my son now by my side,
He asked me what it was I feared, and why it was I cried.
I swept him up into my arms and held him oh so near
And kissed him on the forehead as I whispered in his ear.

"There's nothing wrong, my little son, for safe we sleep tonight
Our heroes stand on foreign land to give us all the right,
To worry on the things in life that mean nothing at all,
Instead of wondering if we will be the next to fall."

He looked at me as children do and said, "it's always right,
To thank the ones who help us and perhaps that we should write."
And so we pushed aside the bills and sat to draft a note,
To thank the many far from home, and this is what we wrote:

"God bless you all and keep you safe, and speed your way back home.
Remember that we love you so, and that you're not alone.
The gift you give you share with all, a present every day,
You give the gift of liberty and that we can't repay."

This one's for my "Redneck" Family

This year Santa is Sending "Bubba Claus" the Redneck Santa.


Letter from Santa

Merry Christmas Ya'll,
I regret to inform you that, effective immediately, I will no longer be able to serve the Southern United States area on Christmas Eve. Due to the overwhelming current population of the earth, my contract was renegotiated by North American Fairies and Elves Local 209. I now serve only certain areas of Ohio and West Virginia. I also get longer breaks for milk and cookies.

However, I'm certain that your children will be in good hands with my local replacement, my third cousin from the South Pole, Bubba Claus. He shares my goal of delivering toys to all the good boys and girls, but there are a few differences between us, such as:

There is no danger of a Grinch stealing your presents from Bubba Claus. He has a gun rack on his sleigh and a bumper sticker that reads: "These toys insured by Smith and Wesson."
Instead of milk and cookies, Bubba Claus prefers that children leave an RC cola and pork rinds on the fireplace. And Bubba doesn't smoke a pipe. He does dip a little snuff, though, so please have an empty coke can handy.

Bubba Claus' sleigh is pulled by floppy-eared, flyin' coon dogs instead of reindeer. I loaned him my reindeer one time, and Rudolph's head now rests over Bubba's fireplace.

You won't hear "On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen ..." when Bubba Claus arrives. Instead, you'll hear, "On Earnhardt, on Wallace, on Martin and Labonte. On Rudd, on Jarrett, on Elliott and Petty."
"Ho, ho, ho!" has been replaced by "Yeehaw!" And you also are likely to hear Bubba's elves respond, "I heard that!"

As required by the local highway laws, Bubba Claus' sleigh does have a decal depicting "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip character Calvin relieving himself ... but not on a Ford or Chevy logo. His decal shows Calvin going wee wee on the Tooth Fairy.

The usual Christmas movie classics such as "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life" will not be shown in your area. Instead, you'll see "Ernest Saves Christmas" and "Smokey and the Bandit IV" featuring Burt Reynolds as Bubba Claus and dozens of state patrol cars crashing into each other.

Bubba Claus doesn't wear a belt. If I were you, I'd turn the other way when he bends over to put presents under the tree.
Lovely Christmas songs have been sung about me, including Elvis' "Here Comes Santa Claus" and Bing Crosby's of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." Until this year, songs about Bubba Claus have been played only on AM radio stations in Mississippi. They include such classics as Mark Chesnutt's "Bubba Claus Shot the Jukebox"; Cledus T. Judd's "All I Want for Christmas Is Shania Twain"; David Allan Coe's "Willie, Waylon, Bubba Claus and Me"; and Hank Williams Jr.'s "If You Don't Like Bubba Claus, You Can Kiss My Icicle."

Sincerely Yours,
Santa

Merry Christmas Ya'll

A Christmas Joke

got this pic off my Uncle's Blog and thought is was funny so I posted it on mine too!










'Twas The (Politically Correct) Night Before Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a wreck...
How to live in a world that's politically correct?
His workers no longer would answer to "Elves".
"Vertically Challenged" they were calling themselves.

And labor conditions at the north pole
Were alleged by the union to stifle the soul.
Four reindeer had vanished, without much propriety,
Released to the wilds by the Humane Society.
And equal employment had made it quite clear
That Santa had better not use just reindeer.

So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid,
Were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that looked stupid!
The runners had been removed from his sleigh;
The ruts were termed dangerous by the E.P.A.
And people had started to call for the cops
When they heard sled noises on their roof-tops.

Second-hand smoke from his pipe had his workers quite frightened.
His fur trimmed red suit was called "Unenlightened."
And to show you the strangeness of life's ebbs and flows,
Rudolf was suing over unauthorized use of his nose
And had gone on Geraldo, in front of the nation,
Demanding millions in over-due compensation.

So, half of the reindeer were gone; and his wife,
Who suddenly said she'd enough of this life,
Joined a self-help group, packed, and left in a whiz,
Demanding from now on her title was Ms.

And as for the gifts, why, he'd ne'er had a notion
That making a choice could cause so much commotion.
Nothing of leather, nothing of fur,
Which meant nothing for him. And nothing for her.

Nothing that might be construed to pollute.
Nothing to aim. Nothing to shoot.
Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise.
Nothing for just girls. Or just for the boys.
Nothing that claimed to be gender specific.
Nothing that's warlike or non-pacific.

No candy or sweets...they were bad for the tooth.
Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth.
And fairy tales, while not yet forbidden,
Were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden.
For they raised the hackles of those psychological
Who claimed the only good gift was one ecological.

No baseball, no football...someone could get hurt;
Besides, playing sports exposed kids to dirt.
Dolls were said to be sexist, and should be passe;
And Nintendo would rot your entire brain away.

So Santa just stood there, disheveled, perplexed;
He just could not figure out what to do next.
He tried to be merry, tried to be gay,
you've got to be careful with that word today.

His sack was quite empty, limp to the ground;
Nothing fully acceptable was to be found.
Something special was needed, a gift that he might
Give to all without angering the left or the right.

A gift that would satisfy, with no indecision,
Each group of people, every religion;
Every ethnicity, every hue,
Everyone, everywhere...even you.
So here is that gift, it's price beyond worth...
"May you and your loved ones enjoy peace on earth."

We have been pretty busy getting ready for christmas. Shopping, Wrapping gifts, baking cookies, etc. but wanted to post a christmas picture and wish every one a safe Holiday Season this year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
