 Back a little late for week 7 but I missed that one and I should say things I guess. Honestly lumping these 2 games together kind of makes sense, they lost in similar ways both times, though the Bengals one is especially disappointing considering they're now coming off a loss to the Jets of all teams. Plenty to complain about, also some stuff to remain encouraged by! Back to back losses but still sitting a game and a half up on the division lead with more than half the season to play, I'll take it. Anyway, lets get into it.  Highest Paid Defense in the NFL I wanted to give them a slight pass for the annoying Thursday night loss to the Bengals in week 7. It was a division opponent on the road on a short week with veteran and Steelers killer Joe Flacco running the show now in Cincinnati. The entire game the broadcast was absolutely loving Joe Flacco's performance, but I don't even think he was doing anything overly complicated. The Bengals just had their star receivers r...

 Ok, I've taken a bit of a hiatus on this blog with work getting busy and me just reevaluating if I want to continue these or how I want to if I do. I missed a Steelers reaction from their Thursday night loss, I'll try to come back late with that as well. Today is a special day though, for the first time in my life the Toronto Blue Jays are going to the World Series. If that doesn't call for a blog post, I don't know what does. Honestly I'm just going to memory dump as many of my Jays memories as I can in this one.  My first ever sports love was the Toronto Blue Jays. It's easy to see why. My whole life Raptors and Leafs tickets were >$100 per game, not really something you can take your family of 5 to regularly unless you're pulling in the big bucks.  The Jays though you could get 500 level tickets for $15 each, and with my dad being a sports fan that meant we went to a lot of Jays games. I distinctly remember going as a kid to a baseball card giveaway d...

 Sorry I'm late! Holiday Monday then was slammed and a little sick yesterday so here we are on Wednesday. This game doesn't really need much of a recap though anyway, the Browns stink and the Steelers took care of business in a stress free manor. With all the teams in the NFL suffering an embarrassing loss or two at this point, it's unclear who the actual cream of the crop is this season. I think that really opens up the possibility that the Steelers are truly contenders, not just in the Lohensports world! Anyway, quick recap incoming:    Smooth Sailing Ok, maybe I was a little nervous in the first half for like a quick second. The game started off with the Steelers marching down the field easily 3 separate times. My favorite part of the offense early was how they got big Darnell Washington involved right away, and kept going back to him. On the first play of the game the Steelers faked a run and hit Washington with a pass. The big man rumbled down the field for a 30 yard...
