’par \par Comments	’par \par Congratulations to the Steelers. Winning the championship is nice, but now you have a target on your back. Last year’s draft should provide a big impact next year on offense with Limas Sweed gaining experience and Rashard Mendenhall coming back from a knee injury. The hole they haven’t filled is on the interior line, where Alan Faneca was a standout for years. Mack has the ability to play guard or center, and would bring the physical style to fit right in with the Steelers mentality.
’par \par Football Expert	’par \par 2/1	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California	’par \par Jamon Meredith, OT, South Carolina	’par \par N/A
’par \par Comments	’par \par If Alex Mack is available, he has to be the pick. In the Senior Bowl, he proved that he is the elite center in this draft and probably the best center prospect of the past 5 years. He is that good, but falls to #32 purely because he is a center. If Mack is gone, which is a high possibility, look for the Steelers to take Max Unger who has the versatility to play all the spots on the offensive line. Unger may be the most interesting prospect in the nation because he can play tackle, center, or guard. Ben Roethlisberger has been banged up a lot this year, and an improved line would certainly help.	’par \par The Steelers need to continue investing in protecting Big Ben. In the first they got a center, now they get a tackle.

’par \par Total Pro Sports	’par \par 2/9	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California	’par \par Mike Mickens, CB, Cincinnati
’par \par Comments	’par \par Pittsburgh is thrilled that Mack has slid to them. Since Roethlisburger won’t get rid of the ball on time, they need guys to protect longer.	’par \par A physical corner in press coverage, Mickens was a four year starter for Cincinnati. At roughly 6’0", 190 lbs, he has an excellent frame and should add weight. Injury concerns have caused his slide into the late second round.
’par \par Draft Tek	’par \par 2/9	’par \par William Beatty, OT, Connecticut
’par \par New NFL Draft	’par \par 2/9	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California	’par \par Andy Kemp, G, Wisconsin	’par \par Brian Robiskie, WR, Ohio State
’par \par The Steelers get the versatile interior linemen they have been missing for the last couple of years. Alex Mack has recently shown at the senior bowl he is the top rated Center and maybe interior linemen in the 2009 NFL Draft and this 2009 NFL Mock Draft.	’par \par The Steelers get another good interior linemen to groom over the next year or so. Look for the Steelers to improve their run game and their line at the same time	’par \par The Steelers get a good fast WR from Ohio St.
’par \par Fant Foot Jungle	’par \par 2/4	’par \par Max Unger, C, Oregon	’par \par Duke Robinson, G, Oklahoma	’par \par Jarious Byrd, CB, Oregon
’par \par There is some considerable debate in Draft circles of who is the best Center in this very talented Center class. The majority of draftnicks have Alex Mack as the best pivot, but I think I like Max Unger of Oregon. The reason I like Unger is because he offers far more versatility than Mack. At 6’5, 300 lbs Unger could conceivably play 4 spots on an Offensive Line (all except L OT) and has the size, frame, feet and smarts to hold down the Center position. It is because of that versatility that I have him going to Pittsburgh. The Steelers were decimated early by injuries to their interior O Line and Unger can step in and play both OG and Center. With Chris Kemoeatu being a free agent and 3 of their OT’s also open on the market, a player who can play multiple O Line spots should be attractive. Now at the end of the day I can see Pittsburgh addressing their Offensive Line woes at OT and OG prior to the Draft, but I still see a need for a Center. Justin Hartwig was semi-exposed throughout the year and namely in the Super Bowl where Darnell Dockett owned him for most of the game. Unger could step in and replace Hartwig and also provide the necessary insurance for the champs to have a capable body to fill in at OG. A wild card here is a WR like Kenny Britt. Limas Sweed has not come into his own yet and Nate Washington is set to hit the open market. Adding another big target for Big Ben may be a bit of luxury, but for the Steelers they could afford it if they were to lose a guy like Washington as their #3 WR.	’par \par Duke Robinson stock has taken a lot of hits. Not too long ago he was considered the best Interior Lineman in this class, but now he may fall out of Day 1. The reason for this is that Robinson is very inconsistent. However, he is a nasty player who plays very physical. I am not giving up hope that he could be a starter come his first game and I think that if he is coached up he can be an imposing OG in the NFL. Pittsburgh has done well for themselves on their O Line but Chris Kemoeatu is a Free Agent and Kendall Simmons is coming of an injury plagued year. Grabbing another O Lineman with their second selection would not be a bad investment for a team that relies heavily on ball control.	’par \par Bryant McFadden is a Free Agent and may bolt this off-season, meaning the Steelers will have depth needs at CB. Jarious Byrd is my best CB on the board. He is probably a year or two away from making a contribution, but CB could be attractive for the Steelers for the goal of future need as Ike Taylor, DeShea Townsend and William Gay are all nice CB’s right now.
’par \par Warroom Report	’par \par 2/2	’par \par Duke Robinson, G, Oklahoma
’par \par Despite their successs in 2008, the Steelers continued to give up too many sacks - 49 during the regular season, good for fourth worst in the league. The Steelers lost Alan Faneca prior to this season and have three offensive linemen as free agents in 2009. They could go a variety along the line here - but the best value seems to be in the interior line players - OG Duke Robinson, OG/C Max Unger, and C Alex Mack. Robinson is probably the best overall player of the group and could start immediately for the Steelers. He is a powerful, drive blocker, who is by far the top offensive guard in the draft. He may be able to play a right tackle spot, especially in an offense that wants to run the ball heavy.

’par \par Walters Football	’par \par Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU	’par \par Herman Johnson, G, LSU	’par \par Eric Wood, C, Louisville
’par \par With tons of talented offensive linemen off the board, the Steelers may choose to add the best available player to their defensive line. That would be Tyson Jackson, who will eventually take Aaron Smith’s spot in the lineup. Smith turns 33 in April.	’par \par Going into the Super Bowl, Ben Roethlisberger was sacked more times against the Ravens (4) than Kurt Warner was sacked all postseason. The Steelers need all the help they can get up front.	’par \par The Steelers need help up front more than anything. If they want to keep winning Super Bowls, they can’t afford to have Ben Roethlisberger running for his life and taking dozens of hits every week. Justin Hartwig gave up more sacks than any NFL center this season (6.5).
’par \par Draft Kid	’par \par Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech	’par \par Jamon Meredith, OT, South Carolina	’par \par Chris Baker, DT, Hampton
’par \par The Steelers would’ve loved to have a guard like Duke Robinson, but he is taken. They will take the best available lineman left on the board and they will snatch Johnson before he drops into the 2nd round.
’par \par National Football Post	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California	’par \par Herman Johnson, OG, LSU
’par \par The Steelers need to upgrade the interior of their offensive line, and Mack not only has the versatility to play center or either guard spot, he’s the type of tough, in-line blocker the Steelers crave. He should be able to come in and make an immediate impact somewhere inside.	’par \par A massive in-line blocker who should create some big holes in the Steelers’ run game.
’par \par NFL Fanhouse	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California
’par \par While the Steelers usually go for best available player, this is a need pick -- find the best offensive lineman on the board. The Steelers have glaring needs at tackle and guard and a long-term need at center. That doesn’t fit with the talent available, but Alex Mack can possibly play guard in the short-term, then replace Justin Hartwig in the long term.
’par \par Draft.com	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California
’par \par Mack is the best center prospect and is as ’f1’ldblquote sure thing’rdblquote as the draft offers. Pittsburgh’s offensive line has struggled in recent years and Mack could be the beginning to rebuilding it.
’par \par FF Toolbox (Joel)	’par \par Duke Robinson, OG, Oklahoma	’par \par William Beatty, OT, Connecticut
’par \par The Steelers are still struggling to replace Al Faneca and they will lose some more linemen to free agency. No matter what happens in the rest of the draft, the Steelers will look for an offensive lineman in the first round. Luckily, George ’Duke’ Robinson is still on the board and the 6-4, 330 pound guard is easily the best guard in the draft.	’par \par Pittsburgh has the luxury of picking up more help on the offensive line.

’par \par Big Ben has gotten beat up all season long, and despite his ability to elude defenders, was sacked far too often. That could make offensive line a priority, but with a need a corner as well Alphonso Smith will certainly draw some strong consideration.
’par \par Junkyard Jake	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California	’par \par Ron Brace, DT, Boston College

’par \par Far and away the top center in this year’s class.
’par \par Sports Fantasy Guide	’par \par Max Unger, C, Oregon
’par \par The Steelers have always been a tough and physical team that like to pound the ball on the ground. Max Unger would be an excellent addition to the offensive front line to pave the way for Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall who was injured for most of the 2008 season.
’par \par SportsBank.net	’par \par Max Unger, C, Oregon
’par \par Unger doesn’t have the intimidating size that you expect out of a first round pick but he is very quick and is very fundamentally sound. He has plenty of frame to pack on another 15-20 lbs. of muscle and would really help the lack of depth that Pittsburgh has at offensive line.
’par \par Saturdays2Sundays	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California	’par \par Herman Johnson, OG, LSU
’par \par There may be no single team in the league that needs offensive line help as much as the Steelers. While their defense may be the best in the league, the offensive line might hold the team back from winning the Super Bowl this season. It is safe to say the Steelers will take the best offensive line prospect with their selection late in the first round. Mack is the best center prospect to come out in a long time. Look for his stock to rise as the draft becomes closer, especially if he could add to his versatility by proving to be able to play guard at the next level.	’par \par 6-7 \| 386 lbs. \| Senior ’par \par Olla, LA
’par \par Draft King	’par \par Duke Robinson, OG, Oklahoma
’par \par At 6’5" 330, Robinson is a massive presence who has helped Oklahoma be so productive on offense this season. The Steelers lost OG Alan Faneca last off-season, and they would fill that lingering vacancy and help their overall offensive line by taking Robinson at this position. ’par ’par \par What’s more for the Steelers is that even at this lower position they will still have multiple offensive linemen from which they can choose, all of whom are worthy first round picks.
’par \par Football Jabber	’par \par Max Unger, C, Oregon
’par \par The Steelers need help all over the offensive line. During the Super Bowl it was mentioned a couple times how Big Ben was sacked an average of three times per game. Being a guy that has played all over the O-Line and has stud written all over him, Max Unger may be gone by this point but has not came off the board in this mock. This is the perfect spot to see some OL guys raise their stock to get into. ’par ’par \par Previous Picks: ’par \par Mock #3: William Beatty, OT, UConn ’par \par Mock #2: Phil Loadholt, OT ’par \par Mock #1: Max Unger, C
’par \par Three River sports	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California
’par \par The Steelers need OL help, and it figures to come down to one of a few different interior linemen. Mack was a college center and eventually could shift back there but could also shift to guard. Duke Robinson, Eben Britton, William Beatty, and Max Unger all will factor in here as well. For now I stick with my pick from last time of Mack. ’par \par Previous Pick: Alex Mack ’par \par Alternate Pick: Duke Robinson G Oklahoma
’par \par SoCal Sports Hub	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California
’par \par Unless they want their franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to get his head cut off, than the Steelers are going to need to shore up their offensive line. Mack is arguably the top center in the entire draft so expect them to get some help for Big Ben.

’par \par Chris Steuber (Scout)	’par \par Max Unger, C, Oregon
’par \par Draft Countdown	’par \par Max Unger, C, Oregon	’par \par Jaron Gilbert, DE, San Jose State
’par \par If nothing else Pittsburgh could always count on a dominating group of blockers up front but in 2008 they gave up a ton of sacks and ranked in the middle of the league in rushing. Last offseason the Steelers lost All-Pro Alan Faneca in free agency and with Marvel Smith, Max Starks and Chris Kemoeatu all due to hit the open market this year more drastic changes could be on the horizon. That’s why it would be hard to fault them for simply taking the best offensive lineman on the board. Max Unger certainly wouldn’t be a sexy pick but his ability to play all five positions along the offensive line has earned him the nickname "Mr. Versatility" and made him a legit first round possibility. ’par ’par \par The Steelers might also be on the lookout for some help in the secondary, especially if cornerback Bryant McFadden leaves as a free agent. However, everything starts up front for the Steelers and they need to improve that offensive line if they hope to keep Ben Roethlisberger healthy and jumpstart the run game. Regardless of whether they ultimately play him at tackle, guard or center Max Unger will be a valuable addition to a Steelers offensive line that definitely needs help.	’par \par Aaron Smith, Brett Keisel and Travis Kirschke will all be over 30-years-old in 2009.
’par \par Roto Times	’par \par Alex Mack, C, California
’par \par Mack is the best center in the draft, by far, and Justin Hartwig is nothing that should stand in his way.

Heading West....

2007-11-07T01:34:00.000-08:00

Well we are checking out of Florence and beginning the trip home. We're going to do some last minute exploring of Florence this morning and then take a train back to Rome, stay the night and fly out for DC tomorrow morning (getting in at 7). It's been a wonderful trip but I think we are both ready to get back to the familiar soon. Grace misses the cat and I miss the couch!

Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday. We hit the art museums most of the day but they don't allow picture taking.

Bye for now!

Here is the main tower in the center of Florence. We're planning to go climb up it right now.

Here is a view of the Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge"). It is a bridge with tons of small (and absurdly expensive shops on it). Neat but way too touristy for my tastes.

OK we just arrived in Florence after a relaxing day and a half in San Gimignano bordered on both sides by some painful travelling. My idea to rent a car in Tuscany wasn't the best. It is nearly impossible to get around in these small Italian towns--the maps show road numbers but the signs don't show route numbers--just names. Add to that a bunch of crazy tailgating Italians and funky three lane "Roundabouts" every half mile and its the makings of some stressful driving!!

But we did make it to where we needed to be after we figured out the best thing to do was just pull over, point to the map and ask people every couple of miles!

San Gimignano and the neighboring area was very nice--not near as tourist-y as the rest of Italy. We stayed in a little B&B with about 8 rooms. The host was a crazy little Italian guy named Guido that really aimed to please. When we checked in he gave us a bell to ring if we needed anything. We had to ring it a couple times for questions and he came sprinting to our room as if the house was on fire. He was just trying to be responsive but it was pretty funny to watch him run around every where.

Anywho, we are off to explore Florence this evening, but here are a few more recent pics to share. Tomorrow we're going to check out museums and I think Grace wants to go to the flea market place and shop for purses and other leather goods. Until next time--arriverdici!

Here is the view from our B&B in San Gimignano (actually in the middle of nowhere about 5 miles from town).

One of the restaurants we ate at in Rome was apparently just visited by Franco Harris a couple of weeks ago. The waiter saw my Steelers hat and told me about it and we took a picture of the poster that Franco signed for them.
------------------

Greetings from Florence! This is Grace. We are getting ready for dinner -- and uh hmmm.. while I'm waiting for Dan to pretty up, I thought I'd write a few thoughts. #1 - I love Florence! Who knew?! I actually like a populated city! We are staying at the Hotel Davanzati, where they do happy hour from 6 - 7:30 with champagne, candles, really nice comfy seats and ... italiano techno! Plus they have these really yummy crackers - they call it saltines but they are more like crispy rice crackers with cheese coated on them. Yum-o!

Oh, I also spotted another Zaro's - so I want to go in. In Florence, they have two Zaros -- right across the street from each other.

My other quick observations. Everyone in Italy where's flat-toed boots. I am going to buy a pair - don't tell Dan. Depending on what I can bargain for at the flea market tomorrow, I will see if I can just get them cheaper at BP, Nordstroms. We shall see. For the girls - All italians either where these really tight jeans or really, really short mini jean skirts, with fishnet tights and knee-high flat boots - and they all smoke. For the men - ALl italians where puffy hoodies AKA p. diddy with fur-lined hoodies. And of course, the tight jeans are a requisite. I do have to say - I feel safe around Mr. Byers. He is one of the tallest and biggest guys around:)

We finally had really good pizza in San Gim. They do not have pepporini here. The closest we have come by so far is the spicy salami. Did you see a photo of the calzone I had last night in Tuscany?! And they say Americans serve big portions!

Also, I have yet to receive any olives. Everyone says make sure to get olives but everytime I ask, they hand me olive oil and then say, olives are being harvested! I did have big black pitted olives in the calzone however. Those are pretty good.

Well..it's almost time for our dinner reseversations. We are going somewhere where the hotel guy said is hard to reserve tables from. Ciao for now!

This is the main square in Siena.

I had to take a photo of this can of Paprika Pringles. Who would have thought they make paprika flavored Pringles? They tasted terrible!

p.s. just noticed we're mainly blogging about food and nothing about the history or culture. Don't take that to be an indication of how we're spending our time--we've seen LOTS of art and churches but we aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate everything so it all starts looking the same....hence the focus on food!!

Here we are in Tuscany!

2007-11-04T01:42:00.000-07:00

Greetings from Tuscany. Grace and I just finished two very nice days in Siena, which is a medium-size city halfway between Rome and Florence. We liked it much better than Rome. It was beautiful, clean, and not nearly as crowded.

We are about to drive to another town about an hour away, San Gimignano, known as the city of towers. I am quite nervous as my Italian road sign reading isn't as strong as I might like. But I have a good navigator at my side, and we will figure out how to get there one way or another.

We'll probably check back in from Florence after we arrive there on Monday, but in the meantime, here are a few recent pics.

This is from a hilltop in Rome overlooking St. Peter's Cathedral and the Vatican.

Here is the few out the window from our hotel in >Siena. It was incredible.

Here is the main Duomo (church) in Siena. Churches here seem to come in three sizes--big, bigger, and biggest.

Grace and I climbed to the top of the watchtower in the center of the city and Grace took this photo from there. I couldnàt quite make it to the top on account of the heights and wind, but Grace was brave and took one for the team photo!

Il Roma ha Vinto!

Ciao from Rome. Grace and I are finishing day three in Rome and enjoying ourselves thoroughly, though we are tiring of the crowded city and definitely ready to leave on the train to Tuscany tomorrow.

It has rained pretty much nonstop since we arrived. We figure thats the meteorological gods' tradeoff for giving us such good weather at the wedding. Here are a few pics.

We have been fascinated by these little dinky cars. They sound like they have lawnmower engines and don't look the least bit safe in the crazy Rome traffic, but lots of people are driving them. Who needs four cylinders when you can get by on three?!

Here is our gelato dessert the first night after dinner. Grace ate too much of the main course and didn't have any room left so I had to eat the whole thing!
Grace: Actually the food is so rich here that after eating soup and salad for ages...my stomach couldn't handle it too fast. I'm looking forward to some risotto tonight!

Us at the Colisseum. It is pretty impressive without any context, but after you get it in your head that they built the thing during bible times it is really incredible.
Grace: Also it was raining nonstop but we had a good time...see the photo below. I'm not too crazy about how I look but qw were having a bit of fun. Colisseum was pretty impressive what I got out of the tour was that the romans were kind of cruel. During the 100 day gladiator games - they killed up to 5,000 wild animals because they thought it was funny! Like they'd put a crocodile and giraffe together to fight to the death because they found that humorous. Hmmph! Good thing modern Romans put an end to that!

This is Grace at the Palatino doing her best Charlie Chaplin...

Ciao, Grace here, reporting from the Trevi Fountain. This is the place where you are suppossed to throw in a euro or penny or something and you are guaranteed that someday you will return to Rome. Well, we didn't throw anything into the fountain! Rome is more crowded than anyplace we've ever been too. Even Georgetown! Too many people. Dan had paprika pringles as a snack here while we were being accosted by many Indian rose pushers. One actually even handed me one as a "present" but then came chasing after us wanting a few somethings for the rose! Dan handed it back to him and said, Go away!" Anyways, afterwards, we hit a couple of bars and were on our way!

We're Off!

Grace and I are headed to the airport in about 30 minutes. If we have time and can do it (especially without interfering with the romance, adventure, etc.), we're going to do a little blogging while on the honeymoon.

Check back in every couple days for new posts!

The Moonbat Recon Project: United for Peace and Justice "Anti-War" Rally

2007-01-27T14:50:00.000-08:00

Flipping through the channels this morning, we saw that CSPAN was covering today's anti-war rally (approx. version 12.0?).

It was a beautiful Saturday in Washington, so Grace and I thought we'd dress the part and take Frankie (the Peace Dog) up to the mall for some afternoon moonbat watching.

We weren't disappointed.

It wasn't long before we encountered our first flock of moonbats. They were an adolescent bunch, proudly representing Massachussetts (Cape Cod). They were united in their hatred of President Bush, but still undecided on which Democrat candidate should lead the moonbat nation in 2008. Their leader prefers Kucinich, but some among the ranks are pulling for Obama.

Video Here:

Gitmo "torture" re-enactment.

Ahh, take your daughter to protest day!!

This moonbat, clearly a tree-climbing species from the Pacific Northwest, got a bit spooked when the crowd started to march and sought refuge in this old oak tree.

I believe this species is a rare triple hybrid cross: Jerrus Garcius, Dennus Hopperus, and ZZ-topus.

Look closely: this young moonbat correctly identified us as "transphobes."

This nice soccer-mombat practically insisted that we take her picture.

The stars on this flag have been replaced with corporate logos. Get it! (Note that we seem to be veering somewhat from the anti-war theme. This of course is common at astroturf moonbat rallies, which are more than happy to accept any and all crazies, regardless of their cause...

"9-11 was an inside job"--these signs were surprisingly abundant, even considering the clientele.

The nation's largest union (and Democrats biggest supporters) were busing them in.

The "W" stands for "moron."

"Who would Jesus torture?" Uhh...I surmise that, if Jesus did torture, he would choose to torture murderous Islamofascists set on taking over the world and eliminating Christians and other "infidels" from the Earth.

The World Socialists had a booth set up with lots of helpful literature for aspiring young moonbats.

This sign says that capitalism is the disease and socialism is the cure. We checked out this booth and found this theme reinforced by a wiry moonbat representing the Workers World Party. He was keen on selling us various Marxist/Leninist literature and other wares, at first unaware of the irony that he followed his sales pitch with a denunciation of capitalism. Video here:

Last, we came upon a toothless elder moonbat, determined to see any democrat take back the WH. He is proud to note that he once participated in a fundraiser for the "fabulous" Nancy Pelosi. If only more of America knew that these people support Pelosi and company, their poll numbers would certainly suffer. Video here:
