Well, after a mere handful of posts here on Fullmetal Football, I've joined Blitzburgh Blog as a writer. Which is totally awesome, because now I don't have to make a website look good (because this one pretty clearly doesn't).
So, all future postings will be at this link. Go read our posts there!

How to Watch Bye Week Football
Well, the Steelers aren't playing this week. It's still football season, somehow, but what do you do with a Steelerless Sunday? Well obviously, you keep watching football, for all the wrong reasons.
This week is the week you set aside to assess the rest of the league. More specifically, this is a good time to scope out the rest of the AFC this year. Game by game, here's who you, as a Steeler fan, should root for and why.
Denver @ Baltimore: You root for the Broncos. I know Mitch Berger plays for them now, and you want to root against him, but you always want Baltimore to lose, regardless of who they're playing. That's just a rule.
Houston @ Buffalo: Houston is 4-3. Buffalo is 3-4. If Buffalo wins, both teams are 4-4. If Houston wins, they're 5-3, bringing their wins up equal to the Steelers. That is simple unacceptable. Go Bills.
Cleveland @ Chicago: Does it even matter?
Miami @ New York Jets: Dolphins are 2-4 and the Jets are 4-3. Same reasons as before, go Dolphins.
San Fransisco @ Indianapolis: Conventional wisdom says to root for the Niners, because any NFC team taking a win from another AFC team is good news for the Steelers, but let's not even kid ourselves.
Oakland @ San Diego: Gotta root for Oakland, just because you know the Chargers want to make a late-season surge again. A loss here will come back to haunt them.
Jacksonville @ Tennessee: As weird as this feels... root for the Titans. Not that this matchup really matters at this point. Jags are 3-3, but they're weak anyway.
To be honest, the games this week aren't that interesting from a Steeler fan perspective. I mean, maybe you're the type that actually cares about Brett Favre returning to Lambeau Field, or you might watch the Giants and the Eagles because the NFC East doesn't make you sick. Either way, I don't understand you. Monday Night we should be treated to a show, however, when the Falcons play the Saints. Hard to really dislike either team there.
Next week we get ready for the [hopefully] undefeated Broncos.
Here We Go.
