Kudos to Tackling Kickers, and Questions for the Pittsburgh Steelers
11/24/2009
J. C. Sirimarco (aka J. Cheever Loophole, Rufus T. Firefly, Joe Cool, The WiseGuy and a whole slew of other nicknames) is basically a literate, semi-smart, aging but still rabid sports fan who has been around a while. While his expertise is generally in the sport of baseball, having played the game for 27 years, he is a rather analytical mind who has learned much about a number of other sports and is as well-versed to write, comment, pontificate, etc., as anyone else who is not a professional.
Born and raised in Black & Gold Country (that's western Pennsylvania, for those of you who attended public school in the last 30 years or so), but now living in the Seattle area, he has earned BS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and an MBA in Finance. And as anyone who has earned an MBA can tell you, nobody earns an MBA in this nation without being able to write (and write, and write, and write and....).
So, while his writing may be the greatest thing since peanut butter and chocolate, or the worst thing since liver and onions, you can always count on him to be opinionated, blunt, direct, sometimes entertaining, and basically General George S. Patton without the profanity.
And, of course, you can count on him to be an eternal, undying fan of all sports Pittsburgh, while also being the one of the most critical commentators of his beloved Pittsburgh teams that there is.
Great article. Only problem is that it seems that the fans are the only people realizing the problem. I have wrote similar articles. As far as...
Reed was signed because he can kick field goals in Heinz field, which most kickers have a hard time doing. I would take someone that can...

I agree. He probably has a stronger leg than Reed, and that's all you really need...
I don't know about Cleo Lemon, but I can't see how Jeff Garcia would work with Arians calling the shots. Garcia is a solid QB, and...

Let's say what REALLY needs to happen: Tomlin can't or won't make necessary decisions. Conclusion: it's time to get rid of Tomlin. Blasphemy? No, I'm telling...
Outstanding premise built upon a foundation of facts found in evidence. Excellent research. Well done.
You have to believe that Tomlin is thinking the same thing. Changes have to be made. As you indicate, this is not a fluke problem. It...
Could not have said it better myself. Fantastic job!
Good article. Needed to be said. This loss stinks, it just stinks.
Maybe Tomlin should give Ken Anderson (the quarterbacks coach) a shot at calling the plays. We know that he knew how to run an offense as...
In the wake of the Steelers absolutely inexcusable loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, a hard look at two problem areas is warranted. So, no more sugar coating, no more pulling punches...
Joseph does not have any awards.
Joseph does not have any favorite writers.
You must register in order for that functionality to work!
