recc’d for use of the phrase “curate’s egg.” I’ll bet the vast majority of the other readers have no idea what you mean…

At the beginning of the season I predicted the Steelers would go 10-6. At that time I thought that would be a good outcome for this team. Now I think 10-6 stinks. Life is funny that way.

My congrats to the Steelers players who played their hearts out yesterday. Due to the play of a few yesterday’s game was a bit of a curate’s egg. I had the pleasure of listening to the game instead of seeing it so I don’t not have to search for brain bleach to make myself unsee what has been wrought in black and gold. Happily I tend to remember and think think visually more than audibly though I am not certain I want to hear Tunch and Wolfley for a few days due to associating their voices with this loss.

I do not have the words for the emptiness this loss has caused me. I do not understand how or why it happened. This is the worst loss in recent memory. The way the year unfolded, I was guarded in my optimism – really, until the win last week.

It went too fast. It’s hard to call a 10-6 season a failure, especially in light of the hurdles we faced this year. Most years, 10-6 gets you in.

Please excuse me now, while I resume my weeping.
