Someone named Anthony Smith, who apparently plays for the Steelers, has decided it would be a good idea to tell a member of the media that Pittsburgh is going to beat New England on Sunday.

[quote="Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"]“We’re going to win. Yeah, I can guarantee a win. Now we have our swagger back on defense and we’re playing great ball and they’re playing great on the offensive side, too. I think we have a real good chance to win the game and we will win the game.”[/quote]
These are the same Steelers who lost to the Cardinals, Broncos and Jets, right? But I guess they didn’t have their “swagger” during those games. See, it’s those kind of intangibles which give back-up safeties all the false hope in the world.
Smith has Rodney Harrison on alert though. When asked about the safety’s guarantee, Harrison said, “Never heard of him.”

“I don’t care nothing about no spotlight.” Was that a triple-negative? Well played, good sir.
