Great read. Can't wait to see what Vickers can do for Murray and Jones.

Good read. Thanks. I liked reading this:

In his four seasons with the Browns, Vickers scored three touchdowns, ALL on short passes, ALL against the Pittsburgh Steelers.


... and this:

What Vickers would bring to the Steelers' [insert Cowboys'] table is the one thing that their offense has been missing—a blocker who would rather block a linebacker than run the ball, and a big threat out of the back field who can catch the ball, then do damage.

That article was a laugh. I mean, yeah, they praised Vickers. It makes me feel a little better. But here's what I found comical:

1. The facile Steelers fan bemoans Bruce Arians' offensive philosophy. Uh, hello? The guy was part of a Super Bowl-winning offense in his own right. And here this writer kvetches about him.

2. Grandcracker meddles. How did you miss the frickin' owner talking publicly about the offensive philosophy? When Jerry Jones does that, it's worse than Pol Pot and the Khimer Rouge. Coffee Cup Annon makes an appearance behind the podium to get in on the act. But when another owner elsewhere meddles, that goes unnoticed. But I see everything, and that's nothing new in Pittsburgh. The original cracker there was a big meddler too -- you know, the one with the big, drooled lips and glasses out of the Terry "The Toad" Fields collection. Check out the history behind "Hey, diddle diddle. Rogel up the middle." Ha! Oddly enough, that had to do with a Steelers fullback as well. Why didn't the schmuck writer include that in his article?

Answer: because I know more about the Pittsburgh Steelers than some of their own superficial, neuron-deficient fans do. Here's one I get them with every time. See if you can get it. Who was the only player to ever have his number retired by the Pittsburgh Steelers?
