Over the weekend, we passed a signpost: 16 thousand comments. It’s not as nice a round number as, say, 15 or 20, but 16k has a certain heft. Not bad. Here’s hoping we’re around to hit 20. I’ll make a prize available for it if we do.

The lucky comment this time came from Big Ben’s Motorcycle, who chimed in as follows:

to me it comes down to the pittsburgh game and honestly i’d rather play any other team because it’s gonna be their superbowl and those games are impossible to predict.

i feel like the bears and especially the raiders will mail it in just like detroit did yesterday but i could be wrong.

as much as i want the steelers to burn in hell they wouldn’t do that in a million years.

i guess i just wish pittsburgh was the FINAL game and winning equaled playoffs.

Pretty right on.
