Rodger, we will miss your constant smile and laughter. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. See you there. Bob Cathey
The Steelers win, 23-20. Losing Pouncey hurts, but Legursky is better than most plepoe give credit. He could start for the Bungles at C or G. I also predict Mike Wallace catches a long TD pass. I know most despise the Steelers, but you have to give respect where it is due. Their owner and management (separate entities, WOW!) have a clear idea of how to build/run their team, and they execute the idea as well as any organization in the league. If only the Bungles were run this way
