Izzy Retires

It is reported that blog writer/creator/picture/tech/jobber Izzy calls it quits.

"I gave it a good run, somethings just weren't meant to be."

Izzy re-injured his back last week. He has been battling a bad back ever since week two when he carried the blog on his back.

Izzy leaves the blog to Mike and Steven

Steven could not be reached for a comment on the unexpected retirement. However this photo was taken moments after he heard the news.

God Bless, Have a good one.

GO STEELERS

Steelers Lose

21 - 14

Arizona wins the toss and elects to receive. Former Woodland Hills High School QB Steve Breaston returns the kick for 29. Remember that name

Zona comes out swinging with a quick 12 yard gain followed by a couple nice plays by James. Steelers D wakes up. Former Steeler Punter Mike Bar comes on to punt. Steelers ball.

Steelers get something going when Faneca gets called for holding bringing it back 5. Then the O-Line gives up a sack. Ben saved all of their jobs. He could have easily been sacked a good 4-5 times more if he didn't pull numerous Houdini's. 3rd and 38 pass to Davenport. Sepulveda comes on to punt. This kid is turning out to be a solid pick. 57 yard punt return of 8.

Zona goes 3 and out. Steeler ball. Nate Washington drops another ball. Steelers drive hitting Miller over the middle for 20 and change then the line folds. Parker -6 Ben -10. 3rd and forever Ben bombs one to Holmes for 6. PAT Good.

7 - 0

Zona ball. Yeah this drive gets absolutely no where and somehow it took up almost 6 minutes. Likewise for the Steelers. Sepulveda boots another one. Arizona ball. Warner completes 3 in a row. The 3rd is fumbled by a hit from Troy. O-Line struggles Steelers Punt. Warner mounts a decent drive, calls time with 4 on the clock. Rackers comes, misses from 52.

HALF

Steelers come out and go from the 40 to 26 with a bad snap. Punt to Breaston, tackled by Izzy's boy Gay. Zona ball. Warner dominates and hits some douche from 6. Tomlin challanges, we thought he had a chance but the call stands. PAT Good

7 - 7

Steelers ball and Steelers punt, shocking. Arizona ball. Warner fumbles picked up by Harrison. Steelers ball from 4 out. Two years ago this was a gaurenteed a touchdown but now...INT

Zona ball and punt. Steelers go three and out. Breaston returns it for 6. If that INT didn't make you throw your controller against the wall, this return did. PAT Good. Steelers are on the ropes.

14 - 7

Steelers ball. Steelers punt. Arizona ball, 4th and 1 pretty much for the game. Steelers stop them but the Cardinals get a homer spotting. This was bullshit, I spat on my sister. That is how disgusted I was with that call. James runs it in from two. PAT Good

21 - 7

Steelers don't stop. Huge clutch performance by Ben finding Holmes from 7 out. PAT Good

21 - 14

Onside kick. No dice. Steelers D has to come up big and they do. Steeler ball with 46 left. Two quick completions then an interception.

End of Story

Steelersblog MVP

Santonio Holmes

128 rec yards 2 TD

Our thoughts- Decent game. CBS Announcers suck ass. The O-Line needs to step it up big time. RedZone O needs to improve. I'm pissed a little.

All the Steelers are asking why Troy wasn't out there and where he was in the second half. We have a better question, where was our beloved mascot Steeley McBeam.

I guess Arizona has some decent bars by the airport

Game Stats

PIT: B. Roethlisberger (17-32, 244), S. Holmes (6-128), W. Parker (19-37)

ARI: K. Warner (14-21, 132), L. Fitzgerald (11-123), E. James (21-77-TD)

Game Notes

• Urban was a dick (85) I honestly wouldn't mind him dying in a grease fire


• Santonio came up big this a great game. This is the type of player we thought we had when we drafted Troy Edwards...what a bust


• Cardinals front 7 showed up today


• Fitz had a sick game, thank God Boldin didn't play as well

Eat this fake Wayne

Defense/ST step it up...Steelers Win

This recap may see the light of day to shut Lauren up. Steelers looking to go 3-0 for the the first time since the early 90's. We thought that it would be a close game but we also thought that Kevan Barlow would have an impact. Apparently one of the Lineman from San Fran can bench over 800 pounds.

Storm Troopers...your thoughts on this?

Nope, Not impressed.

Lets do work

Niners win the toss and elect to receive. 23 yard return, tackle by Gay and Harrison. Alex Smith starts a drive from the 25. Hits Vernon Davis for a 31 yard gain bringing it to the 15. Steelers step it up and forcing San Fran to settle for 3. Nedney comes on and nails a 32 yarder. But before you can throw your controller against the wall Rossum returns the kick for 6. PAT good.

7 - 3

Niners get the ball and go 3 and out. Steelers ball. Ben gets stripped, 1st down San Fran. Starting at the 22 Smith gets into a 3rd in long but finds TE Davis for 11. 1st down. Steelers come up big with another stop forcing another field goal attempt. Good from 22.

7 - 6

Davenport returns it 12. Steelers don't get much going and punt. Niners ball and Steelers D steps it up forcing former Pitt punter Andy Lee on the field. Steelers ball and yeah, punt. No gain on the return Niners start at the 32. Niners punt sending it to the endzone. Steeler ball on the 20. Steelers pull out some trickery with an end around but get no gain. Wilson was running everywhere but couldn't find a hole. Not a bad play. 2nd and 10. 5 yard penalty on Smith followed by a 5 yard penalty on San Fran. 1st and 10 Ben hits Heath for 25 moving the chains for the first time in ages. Steelers convert on 3rd then find Tuman for 6 from the 9. PAT good

14 - 6

Half

Great 1st half for the Steelers. Huge touchdown before the half. We didn't even know Tuman was still in the NFL.

Steelers receive. Touchback. Steelers eat up some clock with a string of running plays but go to Miller twice to bring the ball to the 18. 3rd down Hines gets cracked over the middle, ends up leaving the game with a bruised bone or something like that. Reed goes for a 36 yarder.

Good

17 - 6

Niners start from the 22 and get a good drive going. Defense picks wakes up. Nedney comes on for a 49 yarder. And I believe that this is the same douchebag that screwed us over in the Playoffs a couple years ago when Dewayne Washington "ran into the kicker". What a dick. Back to the game Dickhead connects from 50.

17 - 9

Steelers ball. Davis checks into the game catching a 10 yard pass form Ben. Ben hits Santonio two times bringing the ball to the 36. Parker runs it for 3. Incomplete. Reed steps on for a field goal.

Good from 49

20 - 9

Niners ball. String of 1st downs bringing it to the Pittsburgh 33. Incompletion followed by a sack. Lee punts. Touchback. Parker starts off with a 15 yard run. Ben catches fire finding Holmes and Miller for big plays. Nasty Nate drops an easy 6. Reed attempts from 35.

23 - 9

Smith throws it right into McFadden. McFadden runs past countless defenders for a touchdown. Izzy almost shit himself because that is huge fantasy points for his league. PAT Good.

30 - 9

Niners ball. Smith torches the secondary but to little to late. Finds some ass clown in the endzone. PAT Good.

30 - 16

Steelers grind it out and run it but Davenport breaks loose for a 39 yard touchdown.

PAT Good

37 - 9
