The legal problems have not distracted Big Ben

I'm not going to try and analyze the first game of the season and try to come up with some all-encompassing statement. And I'm not going to rant about how much the Steelers always have a game like this (playing good jussst enough to win).

Instead, I'm going to do the progressive thing and mention the things I'm doing to erase the 13-10 overtime loss by the Tennessee Titans from the backside of my skull.

1. Cribbage It's a wonderful card game that old people and single men play. I'm single, therefore, I play cribbage.

2. Watching the Dark Knight and swearing that it's actually Stephon Marbury playing the mentally unstable, destructive Joker.

3. Drinking lots of beer with Diana Taurasi. What could possibly go wrong?

Diana Taurasi could outdrink me

Whoah, if I had the same blood-alcohol level as Diana Taurasi when she was pulled over in Phoenix for a DUI - I'd probably be begging for a bucket at a Zips somewhere while trying to eat a Big Zipper to soak up all the booze.

PHOENIX -- Mercury star Diana Taurasi faces three drunken driving related charges, including extreme DUI, for a July 2 incident in which she also was cited for speeding.

A Phoenix police report released Tuesday shows Taurasi's blood-alcohol level was 0.17 percent, or more than twice the Arizona legal limit of 0.08 percent.

The 27-year-old guard was cited hours after she scored 22 points in the Mercury's 93-81 victory over the Seattle Storm.

Taurasi pleaded not guilty to the DUI charges and not responsible to the speeding citation.

A police officer who stopped Tauarsi's vehicle after seeing it drift outside a traffic lane near downtown Phoenix claims she was driving nearly 20 mph over the 35 mph limit.

Well at least she wasn't driving with Steve Urkel...

Wait until you see the Seattle Just South of Norths

Chances are that you've probably heard about the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury replacing their uniform logos with the logo of the LifeLock Company. You know, the company that's suppose to stop identity theft and the head guy is so confident that he put his Social Security number in all the company's ads?

... and then promptly got his identity stolen.

Ladies and Gentlemen! The WNBA.

This is where I'd like to take to time to now suggest that the Seattle Storm replace their uniform logos with the JustSON logo. I'm sure we could work out some sort of sponsorship tender. Like in return, Casey and I would start attending the games or something.

And does anyone else think Diana Taurasi is hot? Or is my taste in women just completely off kilter?

And by the way, after checking google by typing in "Diana Taurasi boyfriend" the only results that came up were lesbian rumors and really no solid evidence either way that she actually has a boyfriend.

Which officially means, I have a chance.

We're not done with this. Operation Taurasi Drop is now officially in commencement.
