Troy Back On the Field.

One of my absolute favorite people in the world, Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, maybe returning to practice and playing with his team on Sunday, instead of just standing on the sidelines as he has been for the past three games since tearing the medial collateral ligament in his left knee Sept. 10 against Tennessee, an injury that potentially could have sidelined him until mid-season.

"Troy's been doing well and progressing well," coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. "Last week, he ran some in a straight line to pretty solid reviews. We'll take another step to see where he is. ... We'll get him back out there on the practice field and see how he responds to that."

Polamalu will wear a brace on the knee. He also must show the Steelers' medical staff that he can stop and start and change directions before he plays again, but he has not been ruled out of Sunday's game at Detroit. Watch...basically the reason why I love Troy below. God he is SO adorable.

Get it straight.

Perez reported earlier today that athletic powerhouse Nike has renewed its endorsement with Michael Vick after almost two years in prison. Nike has since denied the rumors, saying  it "does not have a contractual relationship with [Vick]. We have agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike."

Vick as all of you should know was convicted on the felony of aiding in unlawful animal abuse. He tortured dogs for amusement - that's basically the bottom line. I'm not okay with what he did, by any means. NOT OKAY.

The reason I mention this: Courters and I have been discussing how wrong most of Perez's "sources" end up being. He bitches and complains about how Nike now " doesn't want a positive role model wearing their shiz". God, I hate him. Like, I want to scream get your crap straight. 
-TM, suck it perez

Hate Perez. Did you guys see this? It's a letter to himself as a teenager, and I quote, "Dear teenage Perez...you're coasting through school because you're lazy. You'll watch TV all night and wait until two or three in the morning to start studying, and yet you'll still get an A because you're smart."

Barf. That smart enough for you MARIO? Use your real name dude.

No Longer Deafeated!!!

21 months. 19 games. One and a half seasons. But, it's over now.

The Detroit Lions won last night against the Washington Redskins (totally not p.c.), beating them 19-14!! Thank goodness. That's all I can really say. There is nothing worse than being the worst... except for going winless.

The main reason I love college sports is because athletes are not playing for a paycheck or for pride, but for their school. They wear their jerseys with pride and represent their schools day in and day out. I love it.

But, I really was moved - there's nothing better than getting that first win! And, the Lions did it in front of their smallest crowd since 1989. And (I don't want to preach, but...), this was a win for city of Detroit, not just the Lions. The automotive capital has an unemployment rate of 22% as of January.

So, this was a huge win at home! Will they get another? Doubtful, but the streak ends. Tears were flowing from the owners, THE FORD FAMILY, and players. Nothing gets me like a grown man crying.

Usually, hate local news, but I love the guys saying Super Bowl Bound. Haha. Too funny.

They can have football, but the Stanley Cup belongs to Pittsburgh. Just saying.
