Eddie's Bio

I love the Pittsburgh Steelers and would defend them with my life. I actually love all things Pittsburgh.
If you are a Ravens fan, I probably won't like you.
If you are a Bengals fan, I probably will laugh at you.

I am a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates. I have not been fortunate enough to have seen them make the playoffs or for that matter have a winning record in my 16 years. And I take the blame for the Pirates slump. I was born just 3 days before a rookie by the name of Francisco Cabrera hit a line drive, scoring David Justice and Sid Breem who had knee braces on BOTH knees. The throw by Barry Bonds was offline, Braves win the 1992 NLCS, last time the Pirates made the postseason. All MY fault. I take the blame. lol

70% of the world is covered by water, the other 30% is covered by Troy Polamalu.

    I've always been fascinated by quarterbacks. I've ranked the ten greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, as well as the ten greatest individual seasons by a quarterback in NFL history. This is a new one....

    Here I have compiled a list of the ten most successful signal callers during the most important time of the year--in the postseason.

    Bradshaw yes. Roethlisberger....?

    Polomalu and Fitgerald are on the Madden cover together. Looking back on history, this is a doubly bad thing:

    Take a look if you have the time.

    I just finished a top ten list from the 65 series played in MLB, NHL, and NBA this decade that actually went the full seven games. I wanted to place the Bulls/Celtics first round series in a historical context. Please check it out if you have a chance. Thanks
