From today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

The Browns and Steelers are virtual co-favorites in the AFC North, according to early odds.

Did the Post-Gazette somehow mistakenly hire my mother as a writer? (love you mom!)

Anyway, here  is the Steelers 2008 Season schedule. I am missing all of these games because I will be in Hong Kong. If you are in Hong Kong and you are reading this, then please contact me immediately so we can start making 4am plans to watch these games! Also, these times are EST, if somebody knows these times in HKT, please help me because thinking about it hurts my head.

I'm not ready to admit the season is over. I refuse to watch Sportscenter or even Inside the NFL (which is like my most favorite show ever, regardless of Steelers coverage). I also don't remember last Saturday's game - not due to beer consumption (although there was), but I think I have subconsciously blocked it out. People do things like this to cope with tragic events.

I only got to wear my 75th Anniversary edition Troy Polamalu throwback jersey Christmas present twice!

It's so hard to believe there's 9 more months left until Steelers football. 

ps - thanks for the great season, guys. If it really is over. Sigh.
 

I'm actually sitting in finance class right now. Megan just sent me this URL and I burst out laughing.

I am currently looking at pictures of cats on the internet to allay my anxiety regarding this game. I should sleep more.

Ever ever ever.
