Well I must admit that you've been talking the Steelers to knock of the Pats for a couple of weeks so you deserve accolades for that. I'm sure you and I will both agree that the Raiders are playing exactly the way you and I both hoped they would. Hopefully Warren Sapp tries to choke Turner next game and gets expelled from the league. They are not enough bad things that can happen to the Raiders.

On the topic of Rod Smith, man does that guy ever put up good numbers without a lot of fanfare. They said on MNF last week that he'll likely be 15th or better in alltime receiving yards once he's finished, but you don't think of him as a hall of fame type. Yet the numbers suggest he very much merits consideration. I'd take a guy like him over Terrell Owens anyday. Smith may not have the one spectacular game that Owens is capable of, but Smith will never destruct his entire team because he's unhappy.
