See Tommy. See Tommy suck. Bad Tommy!

NFL Week 6. Jacksonville visits the Steelers at Heinz Field. Steelers are the Vegas favorite by 3 points. The game goes to overtime and Tommy Maddox (Pittsburgh quarterback, number 8) fumbles the ball on a snap, watches it land at his feet, and doesn't even pretend to fall on it.

AAAAAARGH!

Aside from that horrible play, he later threw an easy interception to Jacksonville's Rashean Mathis, who returned it 41 yards for the game-winning touchdown. Mathis might have gotten stopped short of the goalline, but the last player with a chance to stop him was (you guessed it...) Tommy Maddox, who, once again, completely failed to even pretend like he was trying to win.

I think that an investigation of point shaving is in order at this point, as Tommy Maddox seemed to be rather obvious in his efforts to thwart the Steelers attempt to cover the point spread.

In Angry Internet Guy's opinion (which is, of course, the only voice that matters on the internet), Tommy Maddox should never be allowed to touch the football again. If Big Ben and Charlie Batch were both out for injuries, I'd suggest bringing in one of the "special" fans in the handicapped seating section instead of letting that bum on the field to throw another game.

As a special treat, would someone be so kind as to point Coach Cowher in the direction of this post? You know, mention it on the Steelers.com forum or something. (Which, incidentally, is using sadly outdated software... You'd think that at $300 a ticket, the Steelers would be able to afford a decent $189 version of Invision, or at least a FREE copy of phpBB, right?) It's only fair that someone warn him that God's a bit of a Roethlisberger fan. He even has one of those official NFL jerseys, not a replica. (It's good to be omnipotent, I suppose... You can get the really cool stuff, and sometimes you even get free shipping if you tell them who you are.)
