As the Meltdown Continues

Entering Week Six of the Chernobyl experience that us devout Towel Twirlers regard as the Steelers' 2009 season, we got our latest journal entry from hitman Ryan Clark, who has turned his angst to the local media and fanbase. Of course, the Pittsburgh beat writers, all too willing to record every irate word that Clark uttered, had a field day with this latest rant.

Clark, losing all sense of reality and judgement, took a ridiculous left turn into the absurd when he likened the Pittsburgh media to their Eastern PA counterparts in Philadelphia, saying that this kind of slanderous and unduly harsh journalism is not found in the City of Brotherly Love. Buddy, here's a news flash from a Steeler fan living in Eagle Country...these guys sharpen their fangs after bad victories. The Philly media would be leading a riot comparable to post Rodney King Los Angeles, or the one from the opening of Shrek, had the Iggles put together a five week run like this.

I truly hope, that at some point, 'veterans' like Clark can just leave the talking on the field. In Clark's defense, I will say that the Post Gazette guys have been no help during this implosion, but, hey, take it from an esteemed member of the media; conflict, drama, and self destruction sells. Oh, time to see what Tiger Woods is up to!
