steeler game baby!!!

it's been a long wait since we last played 6 months ago. i've been passing the time watching highlights of games on nfl.com. i need to find a way to kill the next 10 hours, i suppose i could take of my 5 month old daughter, or finish a case studying for work, or write that supplement for oxygen magazine, or practice that chopin prelude, or practice scales on the guitar, or clean the house, or workout, or continue writing that screenplay. i could do some of that stuff but i think i'll take a nap and re-watch the superbowl again.

at any rate, here's what i'm looking for during tonight's game:

- the first team staying healthy for the 5 minutes they're on the field and ben staying upright.
- timmons making his first start.
- the two rookies at center, legursky and shipley.
- can mendenhall run the ball.
- can sepulveda punt pain free.
- the two rookies returning kickoffs and punts, wallace and burnett.
- can isaac redman take that first step towards a true short yardage back.
- can bruce davis do anything.
- how will batch's shoulder hold up.
- dixon's ability to read the defense and move the chains.
- can ziggy get jiggy.
