Back in March, DC revealed that there will be a new Batman appearing on Earth 2. We know Batman died in EARTH 2 #1 so the question is, who is this Batman?
One would think, with comic book logic, that it could simply be the Batman from Earth 2 having escaped death. That's what superheroes do. Only DC has referred to this character as a "new Batman" and "new Caped Crusader." If you've listened to past podcasts when writer James Robinson was on, you know that this is supposed to be someone that will stick around a bit. We'll have to wait for the Annual, on sale May 29.
Today, DC has released a couple pages from the annual. Who do you think it could be? Is it Bruce Wayne? Is it another Earth 2 character or is it someone new?
And just a note, James will not be on the podcast this week.

a silly '07 GS brake light question
My brake light is always on (the larger element of the two). When I hit the brakes, the smaller, 5V element, always-on driving rear light comes on, which ain't gettin' me nuthin'.
...and I had just picked the thing up from the shop where I got a state safety inspection. Interestingly, when I got it back to work 15 min later, the rear light was out (didn't do a walk-around when I picked it up . I replaced it w/a new one (have 2 x new ones, have tried both) and the brake element is always on. I note that there's a right way and wrong way to install it, given the different heights of the two small studs off the side of the bulb, so it's in the right way. Only a few days prior, I had tested all the lights on the bike to make sure all was well, just my normal safety checks before rides.
Interestingly, 2 hrs after I originally dropped it off for the safety check, they called me to inform my fork seal(s) had blown out to the point there was fork fluid running down the fork and onto the wheel and workstand. I found this funny-odd, as no fluid had sprayed back onto me and the bike when I rode it there, and upon inspection later (when I picked it up with safety inspection and new fork seals and oh yeah, 3 more hrs labor charge..), there was no fluid of significance on the parking lot asphalt where I had left the bike. Not sure if I am to think the process of them wheeling it 40' to the mechanic's stand and raising it up blew out my fork seals....hm.
That fork affair aside, any recommendations on the brake issue? Thanks.
Long live dirt roads.

Leeks Nicoise
|12 (Each 1 1/2 Inches In Diameter)
|Olive oil
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|1 Clove (5 gm), peeled and finely minced
|Ripe tomatoes
|3 , cut in eighths
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Dried basil/1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
|2 Teaspoon
|Chopped parsley
|2 Tablespoon
|Ground black pepper
|To Taste
Leave the roots on the leeks for now, but trim away 2 or 3 inches of the toughest tips of the green leaves.
Split the leeks down to but not completely through the root end, separate the layers, and wash the leeks carefully under running water; they'll be sandy.
Bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil and add the leeks.
Cook just until the white part is tender.
Drain the leeks and reserve.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
Add the garlic and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
Pat leeks dry on paper towels, trim off the roots, and add leeks to the skillet.
Cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, Nicoise olives, basil, parsley, and black pepper to taste and heat together, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes.
Transfer leeks to a serving platter, pour contents of skillet over them, and cool to room temperature before serving.

Joanne went well above expectations to make my stay extremely pleasant! The apartment is very clean, spacious and in an optimal location. Joanne was very welcoming and extremely helpful. I highly recommend!
I totally had a great time at Joanne's place. The Guy Moquet station is just right in front so it's really convenient if you want to explore the city. The neighbourhood is also cool. There are a bunch of shops nearby: convenient stores, places to eat and shopping places. I would definitely recommend this place to those who want to travel to Paris. :) Joanne was also very accommodating and nice! :D
Super - thank you Joanne!
My friend Giselle and I stayed with Joanne and Isabel at their Montmatre apartment for four nights in early September 2012. We had a great time. Their apartment is light, airy and clean as per their description, and the guest room is perfect for two friends travelling together as it has two separate beds (twin beds) and sufficient room to spread out luggage etc. While the kitchen and bathroom are small, this is usual for Paris apartments and for such a short stay we didn't mind as we were eating out each night. Breakfast (cereal and coffee from a machine) was provided also which was good. While we only saw Joanne and Isabel for the first night (they were travelling elsewhere for the remainder of our stay) they were lovely and were very helpful with advice on things to do/see and had materials/books in the guest room to help. We particularly appreciated Isabel waiting up late for our arrival (we arrived on a very late flight and didn't get to the apartment til 1:30am). The location of the apartment was good, Montmatre is a lovely suburb and it was convenient for seeing sights such as Sacre Coeur and going out to dinner near the Moulin Rouge. The subway stop Guy Moquet is right near the front door of the apartment which is convenient, although it does take about three subway changes to get there from the airport (Charles de Gaulle) but once you're there its relatively easy to get around to the main sights of Paris by subway changing to different lines. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the apartment to others.
Joanne and her lovely apartment were absolutely splendid! All of the instructions prior to my arrival were precise and easy to follow, and Joanne was able to welcome me and offer wonderful neighborhood and restaurant suggestions. She provided city maps and guide books which were very appreciated, and the apartment is located in such a great neighborhood, easily accessible by train and great for walking around and exploring. The room and apartment are just as the photographs portray, if not more beautiful, and I could not have wished for a better host. Highest recommendations, and I hope that I am able to visit again soon!
Joanne and Isabel were fantastic hosts. When we arrived, Joanne made us a cup of tea and we sat on the couch for a chat! She answered all of our questions and provided us with maps and information about Paris. Both Joanne and Isabel were very friendly and made us feel very welcome in their home. The apartment is very close to the metro and only a short walk to the fabulous area of Monte Martre. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Paris thanks to these lovely ladies and their wonderful apartment!
We thoroughly agree with all ten previous reviews, so as not to bore you please read reviews below! Just to add we found there was a good supply of hot water for refreshing showers, as well as a good quality bed there are good curtains that block light well & allow for good lie-ins. For me, as a fairly light sleeper, the street noise wasn't overly intrusive. For tea drinkers that like to brew up, there's even a teapot or 2. Helpful tips from Joanne on how to use the inexpensive Paris bike scheme made our look around Paris hugely memorable – a great way to get around & see the city, without getting tired feet!
Joanne and Isabel are two fun, easy going, and knowledgable hosts. Having experienced the world, it made it easy spark conversation and make connections with both of them. They are wonder hosts and my girlfriend and I very much appreciated their kind hospitality. We spent three nights at their beautifully decorated apartment in Montmartre. They live less than a block from the Metro and walking distance to the touristy but beautiful Sacre Coeur and restaurant filled streets like Rue des Abbesses. They shared with us a number of restaurants and spots that local Parisians like so feel free to ask for their suggestions! Next time we're in Paris, we'll definitely stay with them again.
Joanne and Isabel were lovely hosts, really nice, down to earth people which made my stay in Paris so much more enjoyable. The apartment is in a fantastic location, very close to the metro and Sacre Couer and the very cool area of Montmartre. I would definitely recommend staying with Joanne and Isabel and hope to stay again when im next visiting France!
Joanne and Isabelle really make you feel like home. We stayed at their place three nights and were extremely jet-lagged. As a result we did not cross paths much. The apartment is comfortable and really clean, as I was traveling with my husband they gave us the more comfortable room for a couple. How considerate. They are both really sweet and helpful, my only regret is that we did not have more time to get to know both of them. Last, but not least... for people who like walking ( me and my husband often walk up to 4-5 miles a day) - the apartment is very nicely located, if you want to can take the subway, if not... it is possible to walk. One night we got stranded in the middle of center city as the metro stopped running and we walked home. It took us only 40 minutes. The neighborhood is safe at night, and even if you don't get stranded there are lots of cool places you can walk to. (far closer than the center). Will stay there again. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Joanne is a wonderful, trustworthy person. Her apartment in Paris is like a home. It is located in the Heart of the city, with it's own metro stop and steps away from cemetery montmartre, one of my favorite spots. I would suggest this apartment to anyone. I would also suggest Joanne as a host or a guest, she lovely, smart and responsible.
I met Joanne in Australia earlier this year through mutual friends. I have not necessarily known her for long but I know that I will be friends with her forever. A true genuine person with class and style. She has an adventurous spirit with a love for traveling, just up my alley. I was lucky to stay with her in her place in Bronte Beach in Sydney in February and later this year in Montmartre in Paris. Unbelievable and unforgettable experiences she has provided me with on my year around the world travel. I would definitely recommend that you stay at her apartment in Paris. It's located near a metro stop and bus lines, amenities and walking distance to many Parisian sights. It's comfortable and overall a perfect place to stay in Paris.

Another round of afternoon storms is expected to move across South Florida on Thursday, the result of heat, humidity and instability in the atmosphere.
Some of the storms could be strong, with gusty winds, lightning and hail, the National Weather Service in Miami said.
Officially, the forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 80s, lows in the low 70s and a 50 percent chance of showers and storms, mainly after 2 p.m.
Thanks to a weak cold front, the temperatures should cool slightly on Friday and over the weekend. Also the rain chance eases to 20 percent over the next few days.
Afternoon storms likely will return next week, meteorologist Robert Molleda said. If rainy season isn't already here, it's getting darn close, he added.
Central Florida's Thursday forecast: Partly sunny with highs in the upper 80s, lows in the upper 60s and a 30 percent chance of rain.
Thursday forecast: Storms likely again
After a stormy week, more rain is expected on Thursday. (Robert Mayer, Sun Sentinel / May 9, 2012)

ABC Family Cancels 'The Lying Game' After Two SeasonsJuly 16, 2013 03:07:20
ABC Family has ended "The Lying Game". The network decides not to renew the drama series for a third season with a representative for the basic cable confirming the news, which was broken by star Alexandra Chando.
The actress, who played twin sisters Sutton Mercer and Emma Becker, took to Instagram and Twitter to drop the news. "To our awesome #lyinggame fans, thank you for these two amazing seasons," she wrote on Monday, July 15. "Unfortunately, Abc Family has decided not to bring us back for a third season. We so wanted to do 10 more for you guys! Thanks for your support and keep up with the cast to see what's next for us! Xx"
'Lying Game' 1.02 Preview: Will the Imposter Reveal Her True Identity?August 16, 2011 11:08:13
In the second episode of "The Lying Game", Emma continues assuming the identity of Sutton when there is no word from her newfound twin sister. Being distracted by her concern about Sutton's safety, Emma starts to let pieces of her own personality emerge, but her friends and family are enjoying the change in Sutton's character.
Meanwhile, to please the father she never had, Emma must learn to ballroom dance for the annual father-daughter dance. Ethan offers to help Emma, but he risks revealing his and Sutton's secret relationship.
Promo Video: 'The Lying Game' Has 'Ringer' PremiseJuly 01, 2011 01:07:49
ABC Family is bringing another book by "Pretty Little Liars" author Sara Shepard to small screen. The network will debut "The Lying Game" on August 15 and has released a trailer for it. Judging from what is seen in the preview, it looks like the new show has a similar premise to another upcoming show "Ringer".
"Lying Game" has Alexandra Chando taking two roles; twin sisters named Emma and Sutton. Being separated since they were kids, the two girls finally reunite as teens. Sutton then convinces Emma to step into her life for a few days while she pursues a lead on the mysterious identity of their birth mother.

Peter Beinart on why the front-runner should pass on his party's first primary, not just August's straw poll.
Well, Senator Rand Paul last weekend won the straw poll at CPAC, so I guess that means he is now the 2016 front-runner.
But a criminal trial is not a straw poll where jurors simply voice who they favor.
an unofficial accounting taken of opinion on an issue or candidate; also called straw vote
from straw 'not having real authority' or 'insignificant thing'
Originally, a small, informal opinion survey. Today, a straw poll is generally a large-scale, scientifically determined public opinion survey based on a random sample of the population. Straw polls are commonly used to test public opinion of candidates running for office.

48 year old woman | Baton Rouge, LA, USA | Seeking men 40-50 within 50 miles
I've learned in life that things will always change. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not...just roll with it.
I am a consistently happy person. Sure, things happen in life that are challenging, but those things only make you stronger, right? And make you truly appreciate the times when things are going smoothly. My family is extremely important to me, my 3 children, my parents, my siblings...family is what makes life worth living. I believe that hugs and kisses are the best, especially on a rainy day. I like people who are not afraid to be proud of their accomplishments or to admit when they have made a mistake. I enjoy yardwork way more than housework. I prefer the outdoors even during thunderstorms. I would like to meet someone who is comfortable in his own skin and enjoys a balance of work and play. I like loud music and rides along the levee with the windows down. I enjoy music of all kinds and am sad to say that I missed this year's Jazz Fest in New Orleans, I love it and Voodoo Fest in the Fall. I believe you should sing even if you don't know all the words and enjoy the moment no matter what. I like all different kinds of food as long as it is not served in a stuffy restaurant. I prefer to eat out on a balcony overlooking some body of water, hopefully, with a beer so cold it has ice flecks in it.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Religion/Spiritual , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing
Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish
I have no pets at this time. Prefer the orange tabby cat and huge fluffy cats with attitude. I like fish with scales and fins...no nude goldfish, please.
Middle of the Road
New Orleans Jazz and Voodoo Fest, Biloxi, my own yard. The Chimes, the Wine Loft, the French Quarter.
Nicholls State University, Thibodaux, LA
Favorite TV shows are House, The Fringe, The Walking Dead. Love Stephen King...no Danielle Steele. Action, Drama, Horror movies...not a chick-flick girl. Sun-dried tomatoes and Calamata olives. Jelly beans and Junior Mints (separately). Kissing.
I usually plan activities involving my children. In my personal non-Mom-on-call time, I like to spend the day at the beach, doing nothing. I enjoy Jazz Fest and outdoor music, hiking, walking and long drives or rides depending on the vehicle.
Have a first generation Kindle...too many books, too little time.

I'm really debatting this one...I know it's probably an odd question but here's how my first two births went on....
My first child, I had no warning, my water broke while eating dinner and that's how my labor started. ĀI was in intense labor for 10.5 hrs and contractions started from 3 minutes apart and one on top of another just a few hours into it. ĀIt seems like the "transition" phase for my first born lasted forever! I begged for the epidural as I couldn't take it any longer after 5 hrs of labor only. Ā
My second child, it was so much easier as far as labor progression. ĀMy contractions started 10 minutes apart, I took a warm bath to clean up and relax before going to the hospital, and I felt like I could actually pull through this labor naturally.... well that was UNTIL they broke my water when I was approximately 8 cm dialated at the hospital. ĀThe doctor insisted to breaking my water as she said it would progress faster.... in my mind, it was progressing just fine and fast enough!! ĀAFTER she broke my water, I was immediately in intense pain and vomitting (YET AGAIN!).... in my mind, I was cursing the doctor for breaking my water, I wanted to be left alone and for it to do it on it's own. Ā
So my question is.... if my water doesn't break on it's own again, can I ask the doctor to NOT break my water?? Can I just let it happen on it's own while laboring if that's how it goes??Ā
More then likely, this is going to be my last child, and I would love to be able to do it naturally if I can... but when my water breaks, I don't know why but my labor quadruples in intensity, and I get into umbearable pain very quickly! Ā
Just want to see if some of you refused to have your water broken before???Ā

It's agonizingly difficult to find a silver lining in Sunday's defeat at the hands of the Tennessee Titans, and even upon an extremely close analysis, there may only be a thread of optimism that can be found, and that is in the fact that there are still 15 games left to play.
An effort can made to minimize the loss, but it was a home game season opener in which the Pittsburgh Steelers are normally money, against a team with a defense that in 2012 gave up points in bunches, and the Steelers could only manage to score nine.
Maybe the atrocious 0-4 preseason carried more meaning than I wanted to give it credit for, because the performance on display today in Pittsburgh, at least offensively, was, well, offensive.
The running game only mustered 32 yards, and was spearheaded by Isaac Redman, who carried eight times for nine yards. La'Rod Stephens-Howling didn't produce any better, only adding 19 yards on six carries. And for all of the praise that Mike Tomlin heaped upon Felix Jones, he didn't see a single rush, though he was on offense for a handful of snaps. Rather than trying to get a spark from their newly acquired runner, the Steelers stuck with Redman, who while did not benefit from any semblance of effective blocking, looked like a slower version of Rashard Mendenhall, dancing and moving east and west rather running decisively.
Le'Veon Bell has to return, and in a big way if the Steelers are going to get a jumpstart their running game, and with the injury to Howling, Jones will most likely see a few carries against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night.
The offensive line continues to suffer from bad luck, as the injury gods deemed that it was time for Maurkice Pouncey to go down with a knee. If there was one lineman that the Steelers could not afford to lose, it was Pouncey. Now, the Steelers must find some kind of serviceable solution, and it sounds as if they will do just that as Mike Tomlin did not sound certain in his post-game that he was conformable with Kelvin Beachum as his starting center for the season.
The receivers were OK, but none of them made any splash plays that changed the course of the game, though Emmanuel Sanders had a perfect opportunity on a beautiful bomb that slipped through his hands from Ben Roethlisberger in the opening drive. The bottom line is that great receivers make those types of catches.
Defensively, the Steelers were stout, though they gave up too many first downs to the running game. However, when your defense is on the field for 34 minutes, only giving up 112 yards rushing is somewhat of an accomplishment.
The pass rush was minimal, outside of the sack from LaMarr Woodley, and all in all, though they only gave up 229 total yards, but again, it was to a Titans team with an average offense.
Maybe the biggest play on defense was Jarvis Jones' hit on running back Chris Johnson, but after that, Jones disappeared.
At the end of the day, the 2013 season opener was 2012 all over again, except that this time it was worse: three season ending injuries in Pouncey, Stephens-Howling and Larry Foote, two turnovers, an awful running game, and a franchise quarterback getting hit form all angles.
It is only one game, and yes, anything can happen, but unless the Steelers make some enormous strides in between now and next Monday night, it could be the start of a painfully horrific season.
The only thing that Steelers Nation can do right now is keep the faith.
Quick Stats
*The Steelers are 40-23 overall on Monday night, but only 16-18 when they play away.
*And lastly, in every Super Bowl win or appearance that the Steelers have ever made, they have never lost the season opener.
Now that's faith: even mentioning the Steeler's SB appearances after this game. I still can't understand why this team wasn't more prepared for the season opener. It seemed like they felt they were playing their first preseason game. I can't see this team making enormous strides between now & next Monday. It is going to be one horrific season.
"I still can't understand why this team wasn't more prepared for the season opener."
I thought of a personal silver lining. My birthday is Oct. 6 which coincides with the Steelers bye week. Best birthday present this year!
Wallace in at center, swap Gilbert and Adams back over, give Jones the ball, if that doesn't work, we have had it..!! That was the worst we have looked in recent memory!!
Silver lining? I guess the best I can see right now is…
"For the first pick in the 2014 draft the Pittsburgh Steelers select…."
Really man? It's going to be a rough season for sure but you really see us picking first in the draft? Let's not be melodramatic
It's going to be a long season. Haley's dink and dunk BS doesn't work. The line of scrimmage was so crowded, nobody was open and they had no fear of the deep ball. This was worst case scenario X2. Best offensive lineman on the team down for the year. Running game was worse than non-existent. Why not put Jones in? Mike Tomlin: "He hasn't been with the team for very long". Who gives a damn?! LSH was hurt and Redman was getting nothing AND putting the ball on the ground. What do you have to lose? I do believe Heath being back will make a difference but I guess it won't matter much if Ben keeps getting beat on like a redheaded step child. No physicality, p!$$ poor gameplanning and even worse execution. Handed a gift by Reynaud and we looked bush league. Crossing my fingers for an 8-8 season. I'm not one to panic after one game and I'm not saying we need to clean house but Jesus H I'm losing faith quick after an extremely lackluster preseason and the worst performace I've seen by the offense look since Tommy Maddox was in there in '05. Somebody is bound to say "They'll be riproaring mad and ready to fight next week." False. They should've been fired up and ready to fight this week after a terrible 2012 season. There's no depth throughout the roster so it's not like it's going to get better.
They would probably pick either another guard or a slow, fat tackle, or a 5'9″ wide receiver.
I refuse to throw in the towel unless we are eliminated from playoffs.Not a good start at all and I am looking forward to winners losers column and breakdown of o line this week.Was their anything good to take from this?Is it me or did decastro straight up chop block pouncey from back?I know it wasn't on purpose but my god what was he thinking?
Fix the O line. That is the only problem on this team. After years of mediocracy , we put high round picks into the OL and we are rewarded with worse than before.
Ok, so wtf was Tomlin thinking by NOT putting in Felix Jones and Will Johnson… he said post game "He's been here for a short period of time. That maybe had an effect on our utilization of him, particularly down the stretch" WHAT?? Then why keep him over Dwyer, I thought he did enough to win the roster spot Tomlin..and on Will Johnson – "He was available to us. By the time we determined he was available, it was the latter part of the week. We had a plan kind of in place. He was there if we needed him" Well I'd say we NEEDED him, jesus Tomlin you have Will Johnson playing on special teams but NOT on Offense????
There you go using common sense again! LOL
Its called exaggerated humor Luke- don't you be so melodramatic.
I've got a couple Silver Linings:
1) Now we can sign Pouncey to an extension while he's hurt so we can save $$
2) We can move on from Foote like we are doing with James Harrison, might as well get the young kids some time aka Vince Williams
3) The OL can attempt to grow with even lower expectatations
4) Maybe Dwyer can come back but I doubt it…still stuck with Redmans guaranteed $1.3M now
5) Of course, higher draft picks in April
Everything said on the internet is 100% serious. Apologies. That's me being a crybaby after the whomping yesterday lol
Wasn't Tenn D ranked one of the worst in history last year,If they can do that to the their offense,now Cincy up I really feel for Ben,maybe he should bang in sick and let Gradkowski take the snaps.
The only good thing I saw in this game was the play of Troy Polamalu. If everyone played with his heart and urgency, we would have won. Other than Troy, everyone else looked like they couldn't wait to get the game over with. Like they were shell shocked. I don't know that you can change that over the course of the season unless someone steps up as a vocal leader. I don't hear anyone doing that. This is not going to be good.
He literally cut Pouncey at the knees. I don't think he did it on purpose but I swear it looked like he was looking right at him. Note to DeCastro, don't cut block the people in black and gold.
Okay, my silver linings- gave up around 200 yards of offense and one touchdown on a short field. When the defense was fresh, they were getting pressure (from Keisel, Hewyard and McClendon- surprise). I think this whole offensive mess is a combination of Haley taking away Ben's desire to throw downfield. Either Ben isn't buy into the system or Haley not game planning for #7's strengths.. Where is the @#$#@$R@#$ fullback? Tomlin's explanation was a head scratcher. START VINCE WILLIAMS. The kid will be the future, make that future now… if he struggles, move Worlds to the inside. I am also concerned about Cortez Allen's ankle. We can not have Billy Gay play the second corner. You can overcome losing a center and the 38th best buck linebacker in football, but you cannot survive if there is NO PUSH. They were playing seven guys in the box at times… also, BEN WHEN YOU SEE A BACK IN THE FLAT, START DUMPING THE BALL OFF.. ON A FIRST DOWN TO COTCHERY, STEPHENS-HOWLING WAS ALONE ON THE NORTH SHORE AND COULD HAVE RAN TO ROBINSON- HE WAS SO OPEN. I just can't wait to see the o'line on the road.
A thread of optimism is that there are 15 games left to play? I think that's the opposite. I can't imagine suffering through 15 more of these, which is more likely than not.
I can't wait for this season to be over. Let's see an article on the 2014 draft. Tomlin should get his walking papers after this year.
Here's my only hope- that the offense does improve throughout the year, a lineman like Wallace/Malecki (if he's signed) performs admirably… and the Steelers work the short passing game (slants, dump offs, curls) more effectively. Jarvis becomes better as the season progresses and the young guys gain confidence. The defense is still a force although I find it ironic too deflected balls and we just can't get to them. Bell comes in and is somewhat effective- at least enough to keep defenses honest. Marcus Wheaton slowly takes over Manny (I can't catch a ball when it counts) Sanders role and they are much better in December than they were in September.
The silver lining was that the defense was really good. I felt they gave good pressure and pushed the pocket well. The defense would have been better if we had a offense. It doesn't matter what HB you put back there so Bell will be of no use if this OL cannot block.
Changes to be made:
1. Fire Tomlin and company
2. Cut Gilbert and Foster
3. Move Adams to RT
4. Draft a tackle that can and wants to play in the NFL
Steelers that was the worst I've seen. OL you are terrible. My 9 year old at 67 lbs plays OL because he blocks better than the 100 lb kids. Why because he is aggressive. You are paid millions and look like you don't want to show up to work. Tomlin you are the coach act like it and not your players best friend.
I think the only positives I can see is that it can't get worse than that and everybody else in the division losing. I also really need to hear from Decastro, what he was thinking. I know o-line dudes don't do a lot of interviews but he really needs to explain himself. Like everybody else has pointed out even if somehow he thought Pouncey was a Titan player its a cut and dry penalty as well as a straight up punk move! I don't wanna believe he would do that on purpose to a teammate and he went to Stanford so I wouldn't think he was plain stupid, so what else could have made him do that.
Agree that the defense was obviously the better unit, and also agree that any runner is going to have difficulty behind our line.
But, it was Jake Locker, who I believe was dead last or second to last in QB ratings by… somebody, maybe Jaworski. I dunno, point is that Locker is not even in the middle-of-the-pack when it comes to the QBs we're gonna face. Our D has a lot of room for improvement, too.
And letting Lewis go so we could start Allen as his replacement? And then bringing back Gay as your 3rd CB? Well, that was another risky move that bit us in the ass. Any good QB is going to EAT HIM ALIVE!
Yes, I agree. How can consistently make the same poor clock management dissensions? He calls a timeout with 2:02 seconds left in the 4th? I have always defended him, but I have grown tired of hearing his "Standard" BS. If you constantly fail to live up to the standard it must be a preparation issue right?
The silver lining is that everyone in the DIV lost this week.
The silver lining is the return of Will Johnson and Heath. Last year, Heath was our offense and we all see how much we miss him now.
LOL…it was an ugly display…I think the OL will play better…I'm concerned about the OFC with Miller…zero targets to Paulson yesterday was very telling.
I can say with certainty now that it was a mistake firing Bruce Arians. I'm really not sure what direction Todd Haley and the front office are trying to take this offense, but it's not working. I can give Haley a pass for last season, but they had an entire off season to work on this playbook and it looks like a high school offense.
They need to get up to date with the current NFL. It's a passing league! Teams like New England, Denver, Green Bay, and New Orleans set up the run by passing first. One of the strengths of this team is their WRs, but I rarely see us in 4-5 WR sets. Our best chance of scoring points is having Ben throw out of the shotgun to Brown, Sanders, Cotchery, Wheaton, and Moye.
I posted yesterday on a point you had made Luke. No physicality. Our team got bullied yesterday. Cowher implemented fierce play. I can picture him walking up and down yelling and screaming (and spit flying). Players feed off of emotion and play to the coaches style (see Lloyd, Porter, Harrison, etc.). Tomlin has the "cool" thing going over there with his sweat suit on (that really bugs me. As a coach you should dress like a coach, not like your on IR). Tomlin is good coach, but he is missing implementing the fear factor in his coaching. Take a page out of Bill's playbook, the talent is there, the fierceness is not.
Haley offense stinks bad playcallin.
Why fire Tomlin? Knee jerk reactions are for Raiders fans.
I agree wholeheartedly. I think the cool, calm approach is good at times but those guys were playing like garbage and instead of giving them an earful he was just hanging out on the side. At that point in the game I'd take some penalties for late hits just to establish some semblance of a fear factor. James Harrison's play fell dramatically but I know he wouldn't put up with that.
Great point about 4-5 wides. That's a nice group of threats if we put Ben in shotgun.
Left tackle at 1.6, a center at 2.38, and 2 more lineman with our compensatory picks. In with the new, out with the bad, those guys suck.
A trend was started 3 years ago. Pay attention to what's going on. Tomlin had success in the beginning with another coaches staff, players and scheme. RB coach ineffective, OL coach ineffective. Haley I don't think can play call to this teams strengths. Defense coaching is still doing a good job but this is not Tomlins coaching staff. This is not a knee jerk reaction a trend is started. Are you watching the same games as everyone else?
I can see how you make that point, but the reality is that Ben will get murdered trying to play a style of offense like that. That was Arians' undoing – that he refused to tweak his play calling for the greater good, which was to prolong Ben's career. And Ben was getting killed.
I hated Arians – still do. Hated his style of playcalling – still do. You can run in this league, you just have to have a slightly better than average offensive line. I expected Haley's offense to be running more smoothly by now, but it's not. I think it all goes back to the O-line, no matter what style of offense you run. Look at New England – those guys have a productive offense year in and year out no matter who runs or catches the ball. Because they've got Brady and he knows how and when to get rid of the football.
Steelers can't run ANY kind of offense if they can't block and open up running lanes OR protect the QB. You have to do one or the other, at least. Doesn't matter who calls the plays otherwise.
The same was said of Cowher.
And this myth that Arians would still be in Pitt this year is insane. He had to buttered up to return the year before by Ben, and how long is a SB winning OC going to stay a OC? The honest answer is not long. Move on. Everyone hated Arians and now he is a savior so insane.
WE LOST ONE GAME. THE WHOLE DIVISION LOST. Honestly you could chalk up that game as a preseason game with terrible injuries that we have to adjust to.
Haley's offense almost beat the Steelers in the SB.
You are quite the optimist. "years of mediocrity" Maybe my memory is bad but I'm thinking it's been years of stink.
Denver, Green Bay, Atlanta, New Orleans and Indianapolis all have average to below average offensive lines that are also depleted right now. Yet, they find ways to score points. Todd Haley is not utilizing the strengths of this team which is Big Ben and the WRs and his play calling is too dull and predictable. Also, Ben will take hits no matter what offensive line he plays behind because he always tries to keep plays alive. That's what we all love/hate about him.
Kurt Warner was the reason that team had success. After he left, the whole team, including Todd Haley, went downhill.
Well in that case I think Ben is twice the QB Kurt ever was.
Not only has Tomlin has developed very few good football players, the Steelers are losing character, reputation, and professional swagger (not this punk a$$ swagger A. Brown has).
I would quietly tell Mr. Tomlin that the moment this team is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, so too is his job.
First place BABY!….or is it last place?
Firing Bruce Arians is about as far away from a mistake as you can get. Now, hiring Todd Haley has Error written all over it.
It's been covered by a top 5 QB. If that was a drop back passer without Ben's escapability, he'd be dead
Thank God Bill Cowher didn't have to deal with Twitter and the amount of coverage going on now when he went through the rough years. He would've been run out of town. I'm not happy either but everybody needs to take a chill pill
He makes them actually cover the middle of the field
We could've had Jim Caldwell :/ Although the Ravens O wasn't looking so hot the other night
Run 1st down, run 2nd down, pass 3rd down. 3 and out. Rinse and repeat. So tired of the predictability
Silver lining: Suisham didn't have to kick after opening kickoff. This was a team effort, they didn't want to ask him to kick a fg or kickoff again. It was quite noble of them to suck for 59 minutes to protect their kicker.
Okay… Bruce Arians was coach of the year last season in Indianapolis. He helped take a 1 win to team to the playoffs.
My silver lining is all tarnished. Tomlin has destroyed a once great team.
he is weak leader and does not know how to run a Top Tier Football team.I don't care if he's purple or red, he sucks
I don't think you can say our WRs are a "strength" – not by a long shot. And with two first rounders and two second rounders on O-line, that unit most definitely SHOULD be our main strength. I don't blame Haley for trying to implement an offense that employs a running attack when you've "supposedly" got that kind of talent on the line. And keeps Ben upright.
But, if your high draft line sucks as bad as they did yesterday and last year and the year before, as I said, it's not gonna matter what offense you run. It's putrid. Ben doesn't think or look or throw the ball like Rodgers, Brees, Ryan or Manning, so to compare him to those guys is a bit apples to oranges, in my mind.
Cencal,,I fully agree with you.
The Nasty D is gone from Pittsburgh, and it starts with the head coach. Cowher had a way to motivate a team to play, They were always geared up for a monday night game, Doubt we will see any fire in their collective unit this Monday. Those days are gone. and the Tomlin faithful will eventually fall off as this trend continues.
With the Rooney way of not firing the head coach. This could be years of bad play and bad teams..
Tomlin is ok for running HR or PR. not coaching..He didnt earn a spot he interviewed well apparently.
Ben is as good as gone unless they do three TE sets and shotgun every snap. which we know wont happen.
Ok, so keep trying to run the ball and see what happens…. Keep in mind, the last time we won a Super Bowl our running game was ranked in the 20's. The New York Giants won a Super Bowl ranked 32nd in running.
If the WR's arent's a strength, then what is? Our offensive line? Running backs? Tight Ends? The WRs clearly appear to be a strength compared to those positions.
I thought it was a penalty too, but I guess 2 O-lineman are allowed to cut block. It's a chop block if a RB is involved. Cheap crap regardless.
I don't think we DO have a strength on offense other than Ben. But he isn't the offense by himself, and sending four and five wide receivers out with this line is gonna get him killed. That's all I'm saying.
I can agree with that. It's ashame these high draft pick linemen aren't performing well. We need to get younger on defense but we'll keep having to spend high draft picks to fix this offense.
Exactly. Nothing wrong with Haley's play calling. You can have the best OC in the history of football but if the O line doesn't execute by run and pass blocking then you won't move the chains. It's mind boggling how ineffective they are for the 'talent' we have. As for Ben, you're 100% correct. How many times in the past 4 or 5 years have I seen Mendy standing alone 5 yards past the first down marker and Ben tries for a home run bomb. That's always been Ben's problem, he HAS to be the hero.
Arians was run outta town for not running enough and taking to many sacks. Rooney's want to play 1950's football, so I think Haley has to appease the powers that be. I agree with you though, and I think they need to pass to set up the run. This O-line is not good enough to run down teams throats.
After yesterdays Niner win, Harbaugh was telling his team to continue to play championship football and keep the "eye of the Tiger".
Immediately after the Steeler game, I switched to the Niner – Packer game. What a difference in "swagger" between the two games.
Also, love Ben as a QB, but his emotions carry through the team. It's very understandable he gets frustrated, but he needs to mask that more. He is the leader and a captain and if he shows frustration, it will trickle down throughout the team.
Nothing wrong with Haley's play calling? Are you kidding me? Run, Run, pass. Screen pass on 3rd down and 12? I understand the line sucks, but the play calling is no better. Poor Offensive Line + Todd Haley's offensive scheme = DISASTER!
Completely agree. The front office is so terrified to get Ben hurt that they're trying to be overly conservative. You can't win games with the traditional running offense anymore.
So, lets go with pass, sack, pass, sack, Double reverse for a loss. It starts and ends with the O line, period. If they don't execute then no play will work. Understand?
Again I agree. I remember when the Steelers had the "Swagger" like the niners do today, Each and Every Tomlin fan needed to watch that game, Even Tomlin himself should be watching the championship teams of the Steelers past and current day Top tier teams and Learn from it.
Haley even came over with a reputation of being a hot head and we don't see it in him either.
This coaching staff no matter what color of skin they have, does not have the right formula for coaching and building players in the NFL. This cripples a team that relies on building through the draft and not even trying for proven FA's.
ben needs a motorcycle and a divorce ..landry looked faster and lighter on his feet like craperneck from the niners..ben is obviously not buying into the program. hard choices to make here.
It looked to me like a designed cut block, decastro aimed and lowered his head and pouncey got the full brunt of the hit. not sure if pouncey was being handled by his man and turned around or just bad luck. It was a legal play.
Ben doesn't seem like he is fired up to play. maybe he is having a hard time hiding how pissed off he is about the talent drain from his once competitive team.
and has just realized his career will be over and it will end like this. I wouldn't blame him if he wants to be traded this or next season. Tomlin and haley Suck,
Bill Cowher got into it with Tom Donahue and he won the battle. Tomlin is a corporate puppet, always towing the company line and no guts to stand up and lead. Great hire for the Steelers bad hire for the fans. if Im wrong, go watch the niners game yesterday and the Steelers games when we had a Defense just like them but better.
Happy B-Day on that day Jeff..!! Patriots v Bengals on Oct. 6 depending on how the season looks at that point you may find yourself rooting for one of those teams….can't believe I just said that. Well they could always play to a tie, it can happen just ask Donovan McNabb.
That seems to be the problem with this organization. Hanging on to players longer than they should. I agree with 1.6 at this rate thats about where we'll be picking.
And all the media heads we're saying how bad the Jets are prior to this weekend. At least the Giants looked equally as atrocious as the Steelers so that should deflect some negative attention from the Steelers.
The offensive line sucks, but when is the last time we had a good offensive line? We went to a Super Bowl against Green Bay with an injury plagued, average-below average offensive line with a running game that was ranked in the 20's. The Super Bowl team against Arizona was also an average-below average offensive line with a minimal running game.
I agree that Ben needs to improve, but you're not going to change him at this point in his career. Ben is a QB who likes to get the ball down field. He's also really good in the no huddle offense. In my opinion, our best chances this season of putting points on the board is to play no huddle out of the shotgun in 4-5 WR sets to spread out the defense. At least playing out of the shotgun would give Ben an extra 1-2 seconds to make a play.
Kurt Warner was a 2 Time NFL MVP and 1 Super Bowl MVP. He's likely going to be in the Hall of Fame someday so I wouldn't consider Ben, "twice the QB Kurt ever was".
Steeltown! You got a good chuckle out of me! You are so even keeled all the time and always look at the positive things, which I appreciate. But, it is good to see you get your blood pressure up once in a while. Loved your post so much I read it 3 times! Keep it up!!!
BTW, I think your guy McClendon should have got player of the week. Sorry Ben, not enough to justify that in my book.
That is the irony: Tomlins groups that he coached before he came to Pittsburgh were big, fast, and hard hitting. The fierceness declined for the Steelers with all those unnnecessary roughness calls the last couple of years.
I saw the same thing, we need to look at that tape carefully
We did go to a super bowl with an injury plagued average-below average line, but we lost. I stated after that game we would not win another SB until we revamped our line. The O line we had against the cards was average at best but compaired to the line we have now, they were great. And you are correct, Ben will not change. That's my beef about him, he has to be the hero instead of placing the team first, whatever it takes to get the ball in the end zone even if it means he doesn't get 300 yrds a game passing. This is what keeps him from being a top five QB. I also agree we need to run the no huddle as often as possible. Been likes it and he's great at it. That's one thing I have against Haley. And I agree again that we need to spread the defense. Most teams that don't have a good O line do it to give them a chance to score.
Like to see a little fire Steeltown.
Could also be that Munchak knows good linemen better than Tomlin or Colbert.
I do think that players and FANS underestimated Tennesee.
Still, though this is the first game and offenses get better as the season progresses.
In the last few years (the Tomlin, Colbert era specifically) the Steelers have come out flat against lower tier teams and here too, it looks like Munchak had his team beter motivated. This is not a talent measure but an effort measure by the coach and there is no excuse for it and the standard is the standard better start stainding taller….
Look long and hard at Colbert.
DeCastro wants to play in Seattle
Tough to see the offense doing much of anything, but with the defense playing like they did yesterday, you never know what this team can do. Defense has won us many a championship
Put in Moye. He is the wideout version of Heath.
ben needs to get pissed off and forget about egos and lay into anyone not getting the job done. He pouts and defies instead of running the show.
Same Tomlin who wouldnt pull Ben in the Niner game when he was getting pummeled.
Well he acts like he knows it all, and now fans are starting to realize its the same tired cliches..nothing gets fixed ,its always excuses from the corporate puppet.
Colbert missed on this class, some injuries he can't control like spence. I think lewis was good wallace was good, but the salary cap is supposedly to blame for letting the talent walk.
No excuse for the energy levels in these players,(troy excluded) watch other top tier teams like niners D and that is the standard I have become accustomed to as a Steelers Fan.
They have no fire, It must be they are not buying into Tomlins "The Standard" message anymore. I have more passion for the black and gold than some of these so called players.
The only silver lining: all teams in our division lost…
I only hope Mr. Rooney watched this pile of C**P and then turned on the Packers vs Niners game and saw aggressive competitive Fire (Swagger) that the Steelers used to have. and compare that to what he has now with Tomlin.
Its not about the wins or loss comparison. Its about having your team ready to play on gameday and not just ready to play, ready to make the other team hurt for 60 minutes. Hit and Hit and when your done hit again. Mean joe Greene anyone???
If your not going to be competitive you might as well make every team pay for every yard gained.
Thank god we do have it. lets us all gripe to each other and not have to hold it in. 61,000 home fans booing the Steelers you knew these pages would light up and it's good to know we are all into the Steelers enough to have opinions about their individual and collective performances.
Thanks to every fan on here for making the Steelers Experience way more interesting. and of course,
Thanks to The Depot..
I hear you loud and clear. There were two things I was hoping people would see. One was Munchak and the Titans taking two years and actually finding TALENT on the Oline. The other were Colberts doings both in Woodley's contract and AB's. I don't care for Lamar period but I like AB. Howevver both contracts that Colbert negotiated put us in a salary cap bind AND we have gotten no production for our money out of either. That may explain why we have greenhorns across the Oline.

It was a wild(ish) divisional playoff weekend in the NFL, but for the sake of this column, only two things matter.
1. The Patriots beat the Colts on Saturday.
In the process, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick clinched their eighth AFC Championship appearance in the last 13 years, and for some perspective on how absurd that achievement is, consider the following:
By this time next week, the Patriots will have played more conference championship games in the last 13 years than all but three AFC teams have in 44 years. To put it another way: Since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger, only the Steelers (15), Raiders (11) and Broncos (now 9) have reached the AFC championship as many times, total, as the Pats have since 2001.
To put it another way: Wow.
Sometimes it's easy to take all this for granted — the winning, the Brady, the Belichick, the entire modern day New England Patriots experience. In many respects, it's unavoidable. It's human nature. Especially with the window gradually closing and urgency setting in.
But at times like this, the big picture is impossible to ignore. It's real and it's spectacular. And on Saturday, the Pats did it again. They're heading back to the AFC Championship.
They're the first team since the early-'90s Bills to make it three consecutive years. (A stat that would be a lot more exciting if not for the early-'90s Bills.)
2. The Broncos beat the Chargers on Sunday
And as a result, here we go.
What: The AFC Championship
When: Next Sunday
Where: Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, CO, USA, Earth
Time: 3 pm
Who: Patriots at Broncos
Plus: Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning
Wow, Really?: Yes.
It's the game the football world has been waiting for. Over the course of this incredibly wacky season, it's the only AFC Championship that ever truly made sense. It's future NFL history, and here's the best part:
What happens next is a total mystery.
Sure, the Broncos are five-point favorites. With home field advantage and their record-setting offense, that's probably fair. But in reality, five points means nothing. That's just a place to get the ball rolling. There are obviously so many ways in which the Patriots can win. There are so ways in which the Broncos can win. And unfortunately, we have an entire week to drag out that conversation. But here's a spoiler: No one really knows.
For all the analysis and Belistrating that lies ahead, once that opening touchback is in the air, all bets are off. And man, so much is on the line.
For one, a Super Bowl berth. Both teams have their own story to tell about what that would mean, and how desperately they want to get there. In both cases, the face of that story is the quarterback.
It's impossible to overstate just how significant this game is to the careers and legacies of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning — both as individuals and as equal parts of the greatest QB rivalry in NFL history.
Of course, over the years, so much has already been said and written about the Brady/Manning rivalry. And for good reason. We've been fortunate to have so many opportunities to watch them compete. But it's been seven years since they've met in the postseason. The last time Brady took the field against Manning with everything on the line, Brady had only been dating Gisele a month. He'd never played a snap alongside Wes Welker or Randy Moss. That was a lifetime ago. No, actually two lifetimes ago.
It was also one of only two times that Brady and Manning have played against each other in the AFC Championship. To this point, they've split the pair. As a result, at the end of Sunday's game, one will be 2-1. One will be 1-2. And if Brady comes out on top, you know how the story goes. It's the same one we've been hearing and believing for the last decade.
If Peyton wins? Lord, have mercy.
In general, I think Patriots fans have become somewhat numb to big losses in recent years. Super Bowl 42 was such an unbelievable shock to the system, and six years later New England is still looking for closure. It's been a struggle. And getting so close so many times has taken its toll. In a weird way, it's made losing easier. Now, when something bad happens, that dark hole already exists, and Patriots fans can just crawl inside and escape the world.
But losing the AFC Championship to Peyton Manning and the Broncos would break down that emotional force field. It would hurt.
Then again, with that risk comes potential for the ultimate reward, the mere thought of how it will feel, and what it will mean, if Brady and Belichick walk into Denver, after all they've been through this season, and come home as AFC Champs.
Either way, the anticipation is almost unbearable.
You know, year after year, and increasingly as the years go by, the NFL is an organization powered by hype. From the combine to the draft to training camp to the preseason to Week 1 and each week after that, everything in and around this league is the biggest and the best. Everything is drama. Everything is history. By Week 8, there have already been 10 "Most Important Games of the Year" and a handful of "unforgettable moments."
I can't tell you the exact number because I've already forgotten most of them. We always do. Over the course of the long NFL season, so much of what's considered historic and significant turns out to be nothing. History is revised and rewritten every Sunday.
And it will be again this week. Only this time, history will stick. From a Patriots standpoint, that's both exciting and horrifying, but it's also so much better than the alternative.
Although, for the eighth time in the last 13 years, New England will have to take the rest of the AFC's word for it.

Someone that takes pride in how they look regardless if we are going shopping or out to a fancy dinner. I want a woman who wants to look beautiful and also likes to be complimented and admired for what she does.

Seems like a decent idea to me, when Bailey gets back. He's shown he can get MLB hitters out, he's on the 40-man, doesn't necessarily fit into to any future rotation plans. We can just send Ondrusek down.

Perhaps he can be "le cure" for our bullpen woes?
I'll be here all week, tip your waitress, the late show is 18 and over (it gets a little blue).
All depends on how long it takes him to get ready. Kinda hard to stick a guy in middle relief role who takes alil longer to get ready than your normal everyday reliever. If you bring him in when he's not fully warmed up that equals disaster.
As long as Dusty is managing the bullpen i am not sure whom you put down there will have that great of an impact....

I would go for Lecure in the pen, but if Harang continues to not go deep into games, I would be an advocate for Harang to the pen. Bottom line, something needs to improve quickly in the pen, because we won't keep winning all these games in our final at bat.

Lecure can throw strikes. Id put him in the pen before I sent him to AAA again.
I don't really know because Harang will be gone for sure, either this year or at the end of the year. LeCure could take his place as a Starter if he's traded this year. Keeping him in a good rhythm would be wise and prudent so that he can be used for that purpose. Also, any of the other 4 Starters could get injured. LeCure showed he can step it up right now and contribute as a Starter.
So, I say no. I'd keep him as a Starter in case he's needed to take a Starter's place over the next two months.
I certainly recall him in September for the final 30 days.
