If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I imagine this is getting a lot more publicity in Pittsburgh than in the rest of the country, but I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal that the Steelers may be up for sale after being owned by the Rooney family for 75 years.

Yea, from what I hear, 4 of the Rooney brothers want to sell to the highest bidder and the oldest want to keep it in the family and wants to buy out the other 4.

Just a random comment after getting my NFL Weekly magzine in the mail yesterday for the first time this year (cover to cover on the toliet! love it! :lol: . . . . and I say girls are weird - hypocrit) . . .

Buffalo will win 10 + games this year. They got everything but a QB. Lynch will be the top AFC rusher. That offensive line is stacked!
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

Ten games IDK about that. LT will win the AFC rushing title. The line could be in trouble if Peters threatens a hold out.

Let's assume they lose two to the Pats, split with the Jets and win two from Miami. That would make them 3-3. I could see them losing to Jacksonville, Cleveland and San Diego. The only toss up game I see that could prevent them from going 10-6 would be the game at Denver in December. Playing Denver in Denver is tough enough.

They beat New England (I pick Pats to go 12 - 4 this year. ). JAX, IMO, is and has been the most overrated team in the last few years. They are good. But overrated. San Diego will NOT be good this year. In fact, I will be surprised if they go 8 - 8. Cleveland is for real. Jets aren't - even though they spent money. 4 - 2 against the AFC East but 5 - 1 is not all that hard to believe.

That is well known.... Kraft built the stadium with his own money. He had offers to move the team to Conn which would have built him a stadium but in the end he paid for it himself and said back then the bad part is they would likely have the highest ticket prices in football.

Not surprising. Supply and demand and economy. New England and New York and the Washington area. Money. Same for San Diego, TB, and the Philly area.

When I see total win predictions I like to ask who do you see them beating 10 times? Here is their schedule:

Sun. 9/7 SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Sun. 9/14 @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Sun. 9/21 OAKLAND RAIDERS
Sun. 9/28 @ St. Louis Rams
Sun. 10/5 @ Arizona Cardinals
BYE 10/12 BYE BYE
Sun. 10/19 SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
Sun. 10/26 @ Miami Dolphins
Sun. 11/2 NEW YORK JETS
Sun. 11/9 @ New England Patriots
Mon. 11/17 CLEVELAND BROWNS
Sun. 11/23 @ Kansas City Chiefs
Sun. 11/30 SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Sun. 12/7 MIAMI DOLPHINS (Toronto)
Sun. 12/14 @ New York Jets
Sun. 12/21 @ Denver Broncos
Sun. 12/28 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

I see them at best 3-2 going into the bye week then losing 4 (SD, NE, CLE, KC) of the next 6 games after that. So after 11 games I have them at 5-6.
