The Pittsburgh Steelers lose their biggest fan...
Well this isn't exactly a crime story, but I wasn't too sure where else it should be placed.
Deceased Steelers fan laid out at funeral home on recliner in front of TV, beer at his side July 6, 2005 PITTSBURGH (AP) -- James Henry Smith was a zealous Pittsburgh Steelers fan in life, and even death could not keep him from his favorite spot: in a recliner, in front of a TV showing his beloved team in action. Smith, 55, of Pittsburgh, died of prostate cancer Thursday. Because his death wasn't unexpected, his family was able to plan for an unusual viewing Tuesday night. The Samuel E. Coston Funeral Home erected a small stage in a viewing room, and arranged furniture on it much as it was in Smith's home on game day Sundays. Smith's body was on the recliner, his feet crossed and a remote in his hand. He wore black and gold silk pajamas, slippers and a robe. A pack of cigarettes and a beer were at his side, while a high-definition TV played a continuous loop of Steelers highlights. ``I couldn't stop crying after looking at the Steeler blanket in his lap,'' said his sister, MaryAnn Nails, 58. ``He loved football and nobody did (anything) until the game went off. It was just like he was at home.'' Longtime friend Mary Jones called the viewing ``a celebration.'' ``I saw it and I couldn't even cry,'' she said. ``People will see him the way he was.'' Smith's burial plans were more traditional -- he'll be laid to rest in a casket. This guy knew what was up! "Honey, when I croak, at my wake, I want my smokes and beer by my side. I want the Steelers game on. And I want you to keep your trap shut until it's over!" This guy is my new hero.

The Vikes are gonna own this year! Our D is the shit!
Favre's old a decripate now. This will be his last year... If he makes it all season. I could see him getting hurt in Week 4 and calling it quits. Then where will the Pack be? :p

If Rick Gannon can win an MVP at 38 then I'm sure saying Brett is decrepit is an overstatement. Did you say hurt??? Brett Favre get hurt and quit:confused: I think you know better than that:D

Keep in mind though that Favre would be all doped up and not feeling any pain. That would probably give him the edge in a fair fight. Ripken could take him with a bat though. :D

Before Ripken could get close enough to use a bat Favre would catch him right between the eyes with a bullet and if you watch MNF you'd know that it reaches to the mid 90s.... which is more than I can say for Prior and Woods right now:D

Favre doesn't get bullets... or balls... or anything else. But Ripken gets a bat. Prior or Woods? Who cares? I'm a Twins fan.
