Liveblog: Cardinals @ Steelers

So here we go. Just watching the pregame on ESPN. I love Monday Night Football. Now just chilling watching the Pats play the Eagles. And by "watching" I mean "sleeping through."

8:03 PM- Jon Gruden is infinitely better than Tony Kornheiser. Like I've heard him talking and I haven't even thought about killing a baby yet.

8:09 PM- ESPN said Heath Miller isn't playing tonight but he's lining up in the slot. Good move. Put Heath out there and see who covers him. And the disciplined Arizona defense goes offsides before we can even see where this is going.

8:13 PM- Oh imagine that, Heath makes the catch, takes a hit, and hangs on. Mendenhall > Parker.

8:15 PM- Oh yes. Sepulveda is back. Mitch Berger can go die in a hole. Rolle is a noob and fair catches the punt. Patrick Bailey will make his once-a-game-kill-someone-play later, I suppose.

8:17 PM- William Gay's first play as a full time starter and he stays on Anquan Boldin and breaks up the play. Solid.

8:24 PM- LaMarr Woodley just humiliated Levi Jones. Sack. Punt. Bring on the second team offense.

8:27 PM- Nope, Ben comes out again and scrambles around vintage Ben style and pick up some yardage. Batch gets a safety there. Dixon scores.

8:30 PM- Limas Sweed just made the kind of catch people make when they REALLY want a spot. Who's Nate Washington again?

8:42 PM- Totally forgot to watch the game because I had to get pepperoni bread out of the oven and I am absolutely baffled at the Eagles signing of Michael Vick. One athletic running threat QB isn't enough? Need a left-handed one? Is this to punish Eagles fans who call for McNabb's benching every year?

8:50 PM- Anquan Boldin thinks he's Randy Moss. And he's wrong.

8:55 PM- Sweed outruns some joke DB, spins around, and makes the catch. Nate Washington drops that pass. Sweed shows us he came to play.

9:01 PM- Why did ESPN just cut to commercial? I definitely saw the defense lining up for the next snap. Or am I just not paying attention?

9:08 PM- Donovan Woods playing a nice defensive series. Solid tackling.

9:15 PM- The Roethlisberger commercial for those shoes at Dick's is still awesome.

9:19 PM- I love Daniel Sepulveda. How long has Andre Frazier been on the team?

9:22 PM- Being a defensive back and getting your arm pinned down by the receiver is pass interference this season. And how many times can they tell us Donte Stallworth has been suspended? He got suspended like a month ago. Why is it news today?

9:47 PM- Double D is looking pretty nice airing the ball out.

10:24 PM- The game is actually still going, but it's hard to comment on it when you know none of these guys will play in the regular season. Kind of nice to see Pitt players like Palko and Stephens-Howling, etc. Anyway I'm closing down this post for the night. Analysis tomorrow or whatev.
