Things I am Excited About
I, for one, believe in football.
Moreover, I believe in the Pittsburgh style of football. The ground and pound, passing-less-than-half-the-time, this-is-not-Peyton-Manning style of football.
This is the football I like to see, and I hope yinz guys agree.
That’s why I am VERY excited about the addition of Najeh Davenport to the Steelers. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to address Najeh himself.
Dear Najeh:
How do you say your name, anyway? Naaww-jaaah? Naahh-Jeee? Naahh-jayyy? Eek! I’m dizzy.
Anyway! You are a good, solid, ‘big back!’ You are a power runner! You will save the legs of Willie Parker! You will run up the middle! You will be excellent in goal line and short yardage situations! You were for the Packers!
My only concern, Najeh, is that you will go the way of Duce Staley. Let us not forget that Duce was a great back for the Eagles, when he was not injured. You are injury-prone. Please, please don’t be Duce. Look where he is now. Look at him in his goofy sweat suit.
No one wants to wear the sweat suit, Najeh. We don’t want to see you in the sweat suit, Najeh. Please don’t put on the sweat suit, Najeh.
I have a good feeling about you. I had a good feeling about Willie Parker too, and look how that turned out. So make me proud, Najeh, and maybe one day I’ll be Photoshopping pictures of the dead mayor’s head onto your body.
Oh hell, who am I kidding?
Do it for Bob, Najeh!
Best wishes and all of my love,
