Tough times after playing the Steelers

If you haven't checked out Mike Lombardi's blog over at the National Football Post, you should. The former NFL executuve has a theory when it comes to playing Pittsburgh: you're not the same team the next week.

The Steelers have been and are one of the most physical teams in the NFL. You may beat them, but you pay a price physically and it costs you in the following game. The Giants beat the Steelers last week in what was a typical, hard-fought, big-hitting game.

This week the Giants play the Cowboys.

So if you're looking for any bit of good news as a Cowboys' fan, you can look at Lombardi's theory as a sign of hope with Tony Romo, Terence Newman, Felix Jones, Anthony Spencer and maybe Jason Witten and Anthony Henry not playing Sunday.

Over the last two years, teams are just 7-14 in games after they play the Steelers, including a 1-5 record this year.

That's wonderful news considering the Steelers are the first team we play in December... the Cowboys annual speed bump month in the quest for that ever elusive playoff win this millennium.

And this year was?

1958 It seems to have been a great year for Head Coaches, comedians, actors and musicians. Lots of big names born that year.

I forgot another HC born that year, Mike Singeltary.
