Funny Line from Bill Simmons article this week

Q: As a long-suffering Bengals fan, I immediately recognized the Brady hit as reminiscent to Kimo von Oelhoffen's hit on Carson Palmer in the 2004 playoffs. After the injury, Palmer's doctors said "it was career-ending." Obviously, Palmer was able to recover, but in my opinion, he has never been the same. I certainly have never been the same. I still suffer from ghost pain and unexplained fits of crying. I'm probably not doing such a good job of consoling … uhmm … at least you're not a Bengals fan, right?

The day Carson went down still ranks as one of the worst days of my life. Seriously, I haven't gone from eurphoric to catatonic in such a quick time frame. After hearing that our tickets to the playoff game were going for 750 a piece on Stubhub, we talked about holding on to them, because it was going to be something we would always remember, and how the Bengals had the Steelers number this time.

Even now, it still hurts. I hate the Steelers, the fact the refs helped them win the Super Bowl only cements my thought that Bill Cowher sold what was left of his soul to satan.
