The night before Repeal Day(much more legit than Black Friday), Allegheny County passed a law to tax all poured drinks 10%. The 18th amendment to our Constitution was enacted in 1919 and repealed in 1933 by the passing of the 21st amendment. 14 years without booze, a.k.a the first 14 years of my life(sorry Terr, I know you didn't hold out that long). The money from the drink tax will go to the city's public transportation system. Our city's public transportation system needs funding, but this might not be a best way. Since the Floss isn't 21 yet, this law doesn't affect me yet one bit. However, when I turn 21 they are going to have .91 cent draft nights in order to keep draft nights one dollar. In such a monumental week for boozing in America, how is Allegheny County gonna do us dirty like this.
STEEL CURTAIN
The Steelers play the best team in the NFL this week, so what does it's least important player on the defense do, guarantee victory. Anthony Smith, what in the flying FUCK were you thinking? Why give them more motivation other than their quest to be the best team in NFL history and the greatest dynasty in history? Anthony Smith claimed he has always been a winner. Good one, you were 18-30 in your career at 'Cuse. A stellar 1-10 in your senior season. Last year as a reserve on the Steelers, the team went 8-8. Smith hasn't had a winning season in 5 years until now. Shut your mouth Smith. I don't like the Steelers chances this week in New England. People are getting down a little bit off the New England horse. They will be motivated at home. The Steelers are BAD on the road under Tomlin. I think our defense will come to play, but the offense will have trouble because of Parker's recent struggles and Ben will turn the ball over a few times. The Floss likes the Pats 28-17 in Foxboro. I will say this, what I have been saying all season, we will lose now, win in the playoffs. Ben Roethlisberger is going to elevate this team to a conference championship game and possibly a Super Bowl. He will silence any critics he has ever heard.
TILA UPDATE
Due to school commitments, the Floss was unable to catch Tila this week. I did hear who is in the finals, Dani and Bobby. The Floss made a prediction that Amanda was taking this, but he was wrong as with most things. I have noticed the recent support from females for Dani on Tila. A lot of facebook stalking has made me realize the recent support for Dani from the womens. She is a woman crush for chicks apparently, although since all girls are lesbians, this is just proving my new Tila theory. The new Tila theory, a guy won't mind threesomes, a dyke will. Tila is going with the d-piece on this one(no homo).
KILLA CAM
The Floss ain't talking about rap music. We are talking about Killa Cam Saddler and his commitment to Pitt this Wednesday. A 4 star prospect who projects as just a kick and punt returner on the next level(he does soo much more). Ask the Bears how Devin Hester is working out for them? Keeping the WPIAL players in Pittsburgh is so big because of the number of studs every year, especially a team like Gateway. Cam Saddler is on record saying he is going to be recruiting kids until LOI day. A huge get would be his cousin and teammate Shayne Hale. Hale is a hell of a player, a MLB or OLB or DE who can step in as a freshman and strengthen the D. Hopefully he announces at the US Army All American game on January 5th. That game has 3 potential Pitt commits in it(Luke Nix(committed), Jonathan Baldwin(90%), and Shayne Hale(60%)). This could be Wanny's best class ever, which is amazing since the team has been underperforming, but after WVU we are ready for the Wanny dynasty to truly begin. Zack Stoudt also committed today, which is not good in a numbers sense because Pitt is also trying to land Tino the Great and Greg "Im a boss and love the Floss" Cross. Pitt football will probably be referenced in every blog from here til the end, so get used to it.
If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. If you can't stand the Floss, get out of the bathroom(so lame).
