Welcome back to the DSB Running Diary. The last time this shit show appeared on DSB was back in January when the Steelers played the Ravens in the playoffs and swept them across three games during the 2010-2011 season. Expect the usual from DSB over the next few hours: dick jokes, inside jokes, no insight, extreme homerism, Yinzer crap, and long stretches of time where nothing happens.
7:51 I have just read a report that the Ravens have welcomed a drifter into the locker room and are ritually stabbing him as a pre-game warm up.
7:52 Confirmed: ZJ will again continue his impressive streak of refusing to write anything for this website.
7:55 I expect that Hall of Famer and Patron Saint of the Goal Line Stand Dick LeBeau is currently tasking his defensemen with performing various sexual assaults on Flacco. I am going to assume that the Penn State Sandusky grand jury leaks are the blue print.
7:57 And NBC shows Ray-Ray screaming gibberish at a semi-circle of angry men for the first time tonight. This is what football people call “leadership.” Looked to me like he just spent five minutes asking “WHAT TIME IS IT!?!?!?!”
8:18 Still have yet to hear this game described as a “Two Chin Strap Game…” what gives cliché driven TV sports people?
8:21 Would be nice if Faith Hill also called the President a Nazi… Killing off that crappy song would be pretty nice.
8:25 Flacco’s unibrow… nice to know that some things never change.
8:31 Thank God I saw that flag before Ray Rice went off to the races or else I would be breaking everything in my house. Typical Raven penalty.
8:33 Michael Oher gets his introduction. Insert “No he is saving me” movie quote here for Max Power.
8:38 If I was Ike Taylor I would throw magnets at Boldin’s face and see if any of them stick to that metal used to reconstruct his face.
8:41 Baltimore kicks for three after Ray Rice bitches about the refs having a quick whistle. Got to give it to these referees, they make calls against these Ravens even though they have to figure most of that 53 man roster is packing switch blades. 3-0 Ratbirds
8:45 Text from ZJ: NBC plays David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” going into commercial. Perfect for a Ravens’ game.
8:50 NBC shows Ray-Ray coaching up his defense on the sideline… looked like he was offering Corry Redding a blowjob.
8:58 Steelers finally get a stop on 3rd down. 40 yards out Cundiff misses it wide. 100% chance he grew up being called Cunt-diff.
9:08 Ray-Ray head hunting on a tackle against Hines… I am going to assume that Goodell will be sending Ray-Ray a check for that illegal hit. Probably some of James Harrison’s fine money.
9:10 Ravens challenge the catch by Ward that took about 5 weeks off his life. The only way that is not a catch is because Ray-Ray was headhunting and he concussed him midair. But you can’t throw the flag now. This is horseshit.
9:13 Overturned the call of a catch. This is garbage. I am pissed.
9:14 Sushi ties it at 3 all.
9:15 If I buy a Toyota Camry I have to put up with Chris Berman in my car? That does not sound like a selling point. Listening to him will make me want to drive it off a cliff.
9:17 The Steelers defense should be screaming “Pull!” after every Flacco throw. They need to get some interceptions the guys is just tossing out dead ducks right now.
9:19 Ravens convert another third down. Apparently, the Steelers defense believes that they only need to play for two downs tonight.
9:23 43 yard kick good by Cunt-diff… 6-3 Ratbirds.
9:27 Cory Redding clearly motivated by the Ray-Ray BJ just nails Mendenhall in the back field. Steelers really need to unleash Ben and just throw deep. Where is Mike Wallace? Attending the Andy Rooney funeral?
9:29 And finally Ben throws to Wallace but the pass broken up. I should have made that joke 15 minutes earlier.
9:34 Al Michaels calls the Steelers the “hump team.” This is less funny than Joe Buck saying the ball was “fisted” but it is pretty good none the less.
9:50 Another FG… Sushi for three. 6-6 with just over a minute on the clock. This game has dragged to a crawl.
9:52 Harrison touched Flacco and got a nice sack. That will cost him 50K from Mr. Goodell.
9:54 Ryan Clack makes the same hit on a Raven that Ray-Ray did on Hines and that results in both a flag and Collinsworth’s unending contempt. I hate these guys… I am talking about NBC sports.
9:58 Luck for some, a bullshit call was reversed and Boldin did not catch the ball. If that was not overturned I would have started killing midgets by tossing them into heavy traffic.
10:01 Cunt-diff hits a 51 yard FG to make it 9-6 at the half. Now for NBC and Joe Rogan to scream at me for 60 seconds and tell me to watch people get thrown from moving vehicles and eat live bugs for an insanely small amount of cash compared to the humiliation.
10:21 After building a great drive… and Suggs intercepts. I wish I was drinking. This is insane.
10:29 Collinsworth makes the stupid claim that “I’m not sure if these teams even care what the score is. I think they just want to beat each other on the field.” WTF does that even mean? All they care about is score board. They are trying to win the game dumbass.
10:35 Collinsworth is clearly on the Ravens payroll.
10:36 Ray Rice drives the ball into the endzone and drives Collinsworth to orgasm. 16-6 Ravens.
10:46 The Dance Troop that is the Baltimore Ravens are showing a great deal of restraint this game. Very little Krumping.
10:50 Text from ZJ: “I hope that little pissant Ray Rice gets a cleat in his fucking throat.“ Could not agree more.
10:52 Ben scrambles for the end zone and Collinsworth gleefully cheers for the video to overrule the call on the field. 1st and goal with half a yard to go.
10:56 Mendenhall drives the ball in off the tackle and scores the TD. 16-13 with 14+ minutes left in the game.
10:57 Text from ZJ: “I hope the polar ice caps melt just so they stop making those annoying Happy Feet movies.” Not sure but he might think those were filmed on location. I am fairly certain he has had enough to drink tonight to make that possible.
11:00 Harrison beats down a double team for the sack … and Foote with a stop brings up the always dangerous 3rd and long… holding my breath.
11:02 And the Ravens convert… I feel like I have seen this game before. It does not end well.
11:05 3rd and 5… and they convert again. This is the failure that will lead to the loss.
11:07 3rd and long again… And a fumble!!! William GAY!!! We are all GAY!!! Going to be honest I thought that drive was going to be the nail in the coffin.
11:11 Cotchery just made a great heads up catch to keep the momentum going with the Black & Gold. Need a touchdown on this drive. May not see the ball again.
11:15 That was a typical Ben TD… scrambles, buys time nails Wallace in the end zone. 20-16 and the Steelers take the lead for the first time. Collinsworth gives a forced laugh to pretend like he is happy to see the lead shift but in reality we all know that he is thrashing the TV booth.
11:20 Time for Hall of Famer Patron Saint of the TAInt Dick LeBeau to unleash his Defense. I hope Dick demands the head of Flacco on a plate for his post-game meal. Harrison will deliver.
11:21 Three and out in less than 90 seconds!!! Steelers collect the ball at the 46 yard line. Collinsworth is currently out gathering hookers for Ray-Ray to copulate with then stab Marquise de Sade style.
11:25 Cotchery with a huge catch. He should get a game ball. Why was this Cotchery not scoring with the Jets when he was on my shitty fantasy football teams? He as exhibit #2 on my Lee Evans Do Not Draft list. /Copy Rights “Lee Evans Do Not Draft List”
11:29 Delay of game leads to punt over FG attempt? This is the shit that comes back to bite a team…
11:31 Flacco always looks like he is waiting around for his laundry to dry. Does he even have a pulse? Would you be happy to have him this detached?
11:36 4th and 1 at midfield… I wish I had a bottle of Jameson. I would drink all of it.
11:37 Boldin converts and two plays later a wide open Torrey Smith blows a deep pass in the endzone. /Three drops of pee leak out.
11:39 Time Out Pittsburgh: i.e. Defense is gassed. This is not good.
11:41 Torrey Smith with the touchdown… and now the Krumping starts. Ravens are dancing all over the sidelines. This is horrible. Defense is to blame the failure to stop anything on 3rd down especially at the end is what killed the Steelers. Thank you and good night.
Thanks for coming and suckling on Daddy’s Sugar Ball…
