Re-cap! Re-cap! Re-cap!

Well, that was interesting.  Sort of.  The game was very evenly matched, and if anything Seattle outplayed Pittsburgh all day.  Yet Pittsburgh still won, 21-10.  How did that happen?  Well, it all boiled down to a few plays.  Third and long, Roethlisberger bomb across the field to Hines Ward at the two.  Willie Parker, 75-yard touchdown run.  Antwaan Randle-El touchdown pass to Ward.  Throw in the fact that Seattle blew several chances throughout the game, (although I think that pass interference call in the end zone was BS), and that's that. 

The funny thing is, as I was watching the game, I realized that the only thing I cared about was that the beer stayed cold and the wings stayed hot.  I really didn't care who won at all.  A few weeks ago, I was casually rooting for Pittsburgh.  Then, since most of the prognosticators were taking Pittsburgh, and Pitt was favored by four, I started slightly pulling for Seattle.  But I really didn't care.  I was far more concerned with the numbers 7-0 or 5-9 to come up so I could win some cash on the squares.  Missed out on that, too.

I'm ready for baseball.  Bring on Spring Training!
