Damn. The Steelers have announced that they're resting both Roethlisberger and Bell this week. That may give the Browns a chance to get a win. *sigh* I hate the unpredictability of week 17.

Someone's gotta feel sorry for the brownies. Might as well take one for the team.

Why? If you know seat belts work and air bags work, and you know speeding could catch a cop's eye, why would you do something stupid? 

Of course they are going to rest them, because the MORE important goal is to win in the playoffs and win the Superbowl.

What good does it do your team if they lose a key player in a meaningless game? Yea it sucks as a viewer, but as  strategy decision, it makes sense.

I'm not saying the Steelers are wrong for resting them. I just hate how it affects making picks for that game. Hell, I don't even know who the Browns are having start at quarterback these days. The Browns had some close games this season. Should I change my pick on account of this news? I don't know. A sure thing has suddenly become a tossup.

Eagles and Cowboys ties at 0 at the half. I think the Eagles playoff chances evaporated when Wentz went down.

The ravens get knocked out of the playoffs in the most insane way.
