I didn't get a chance to listen to any sports talk radio shows on Monday, but I'm assuming that Ellis Cannon and Gene Collier spent most of the time talking people off of bridges and window ledges. (Unlike Mark Madden, who would have been down on the street, yelling, "Jump! Jump!")
Collier, by the way, points out that there was a bright side to Sunday's debacle in Baltimore. The Steeler defense didn't screw up on any kick returns. Since they didn't score, there was no need to kick off, he says.
The Carbolic Smoke Ball reports that the Steelers have apologized to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for their performance (rimshot).
The 27-0 drubbing at the hands of the Ravens so angered Bob Smizik of the Post-Gazette A Local Newspaper that he was reduced to talking like the crocodiles from the "Pearls Before Swine" comic strip. "They're not a mystery team at all," Smizik wrote. "They just not very good."

Hull-o-o-o-o-o, zeeba neighba Bob!
Meanwhile, on Sunday during my radio show (6 to 9 p.m. on 620 WKHB, entertaining literally dozens in the metropolitan Herminie-Edna No. 2 area), a local band dropped by to debut their new Steelers fight song. I hope you like it. I expect to hear from Jimmy Pol's attorney any minute now.
I am a bit aghast at the fact that both the Stillers and the ‘Skins have identical, and miserable records. My wife (the Fair City native) almost can’t put on her Steelers sweatshirt any more. Talk about the post-Superbowl jinx! The Washington team has few excuses either—a Hall of Fame head coach, great individual talents, experienced coaching staff, and they can barely get out of their own way most Sundays. I watch every Sunday and can’t for the life of me figure out why Antwan isn’t returning kick-offs (he does punt returns!). And they brought in T.J. Duckett, who could start for a lot of teams, and he’s still behind Ladell Betts? Wake me in February and let me know how the kid (Jason Campbell) finally fared at QB.
