Hell yea! Normally when I go to a preseason football game I expect to leave relatively unsatisfied. This game was different. Meadowlands Stadium is amazing and it didn't take two plays before Nicks and Taylor had fisticuffs. Last week I talked about how the MLB needs to improve their fights. The NBA showed promise this week and the NFL took my suggestions to heart by tossing in great live action to spice up the preseason. Well done. The only problem I have with this is that the crew didn't embrace it and there were no replays on the incredible video screens in the stadium. If I could see a 50 foot tall Taylor left hook I wouldn't mind shelling out $8.50 for three chicken nuggets as much.
P.S. Pittsburgh's starting QB for the first four weeks isn't completely settled yet but Dennis Dixon should be the guy. Byron Leftwich may have had the nice TD pass to Mike Wallace but he is too slow behind their terrible offensive line. Dixon allows them to move the pocket and open up the run game when he rolls out. It's only for four games so they don't have to worry about injury and he was hitting receivers in stride on his throws. Kordell Stewart 2.0 for the win.
