		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;So ye sow so shall ye reap!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

Since I believe in the Vedanta, I am going to find which deity is a Steeler fan.

Those wanton Cowboys celebrated the virtuous Ben&#039;s ill advised pass to virtually end the Steeler season and give them a win, look what came back to get them. 

Last year, it was the proud QB Tebow who ended the Steeler season and was joyous with a successful pass he tossed in in overtime. He was sent to the JETS! 

Karma. 

Don&#039;t believe it? Watch what happens to Cincinnati. It will be horrible.]]></description>

This was a record for the four years of the show.

And that was just the New Orleans game!

We still have Dallas and Washington!

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;And we will always have...STEELERS!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Well Minnesota gets the game on a blown non catch call thanks refs.

watertown on December 30, 2012 at 7:46 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

There were other bad calls in this game as well. NFL officiating has been subpar this year. Packers should be at home next week resting with at least a 12-4 record. On the other hand, they shoulda taken the kickoff at the start of the game instead of letting P&amp;P get the offense in gear for the Vikings. On the third hand, da&#039; Bears are outta the playoffs and I&#039;m gonna enjoy all the weeping and whining around here from sniveling Bears fans.]]></description>

Agree.  But in spite of all the bad calls, Packers still win the division and are in the playoffs.

To you guys who think rooting for Green Bay is synonymous with pulling for a winner, did you take a long rest for a couple of decades before 1991? But at least GB has an interesting ownership structure.

I know, every NFL team is enchanted and &quot;special&quot; and magical and storied and a lot of BS for a crass local cash machine in a protected monopoly. All of which should be owned by blacks if there was a God.

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Cowboys at Redskins (8:20 pm, NBC) – This might be the most impactful game today.  A Redskins win clinches them the division title; a loss means they have to have Chicago and Minnesota lose to get a wild-card slot.  Dallas wins the title if they beat Washington, but again, if Chicago and Minnesota both win, they’re out of the playoffs with a loss.  Washington is 4-3 at home, while Dallas is 4-3 on the road.  Dallas will probably get an early lead, but Washington comes back to win a close one and the division, 31-28.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Washington fans need this from a morale standpoint.  Sequestration is about to put a lot of people out on the streets without a job in Obama&#039;s jobless economy.  Personally I was convinced that the predictions of a Mayan end-of-the-world predictions were true because Washington had a shot at the playoffs that don&#039;t include incredible improbable combinations of wins and losses.  

Hail to the Redskins!]]></description>

And his longtime broadcast partner, &quot;Mr. Patriot&quot; Gino Cappelletti, came out of retirement to join Gil in the booth for one last home game. They both got a standing ovation when they were honored before the kickoff.]]></description>
