PITTSBURGH -- Will I ever cover my own team in the AFC Championship game?
Please, someone answer me.
The Dolphins are not here. The comment i get most from writers from around the country covering this game is, "What the (bleep) is going on down there?"
My answer: "I do not know. I am not responsible."
I do know the Dolphins are not a total disaster. The Dolphins split two games with these Jets. The Dolphins lost by one point to Pittsburgh. They do not totally lack ability to compete.
Anyway, let's watch this game and see what team earns the right to play the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl. Let's see happens.
The live blog starts in the comments section below.
Just checked: Palm Beach Post didn't break anything on Carson Palmer.

Armando,
Great politically correct answer. I'll just read between the lines and see that you also know the difference between great and garbage reporting too. Enuff said! LOL.................

I hate 3rd down runs when you hand the ball off to the RB 5 yards DEEP....after you show everyone the ball.....Pack got stopped alot in the 2nd half doing that play
Posted by: Kris | January 23, 2011 at 07:28 PM
Why measure that?
Posted by: jrljr2 | January 23, 2011 at 07:28 PM
DB, I was alone last week in N.E. This week, our beat reporter Jeff Darlington is here with me.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 23, 2011 at 07:28 PM
OMG what was up with the measurement? Geez its like the want the Jets to win lol
Posted by: VA Phin Fan | January 23, 2011 at 07:28 PM
VA PHIN.. Gutierrez commented on how Parcells reccommended Rex Ryan to the jets. And how that was his only good move while with the Dolphins... Ouch!
Posted by: Darryl Dunphy | January 23, 2011 at 07:28 PM
Steelers are gashing the Jets and they throw on fourth-and-one?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 23, 2011 at 07:29 PM
Armando,
What is your opinion on Dave Hyde? I cannot even stand to read his garbage.
Posted by: VA Phin Fan | January 23, 2011 at 07:30 PM
Mando, BEWARE, I hear ol Jeff loves the Tequila, I'll bet you 5 bucks he's cutting some Limes and pulling out some Kosher salt as we blog.........
Posted by: Cuban Menace | January 23, 2011 at 07:30 PM
In my opinion, no measurement needed there. Steelers at line ready to go. Armando, is that up to refs or do Jets ask for it?
Posted by: jrljr2 | January 23, 2011 at 07:30 PM
ARMANDO,
ARE YOU LEARNING ANY THING FROM THE JEFF DARLINGTON ?
Posted by: ALoco | January 23, 2011 at 07:31 PM
Didn't make much sense.
Posted by: Utdolfan | January 23, 2011 at 07:31 PM
Darlington>>>>Salguero
Posted by: DeadlyDolphinz | January 23, 2011 at 07:31 PM
I wonder why Parcells really left. Was it cause of the state of the franchise or his distaste for Steven Ross?
Posted by: VA Phin Fan | January 23, 2011 at 07:32 PM
I hate the stinking jets
Posted by: drummerboy1963 | January 23, 2011 at 07:33 PM
Mando, jets had 20 in the box... Gotta pass sometimes.. I'd test Revis deep with Wallace.. Didn't 19 burn him last year..
Posted by: robbyhernz | January 23, 2011 at 07:33 PM
Armando,
Thx for answering. I think Jeff Darlington is great reporter and love his work too. Overall I think the Herald has the best reporters compared to "slum" and "hitching post".
Just cant really get David Neal, he seems to be obsessed with hockey. Not that anything's really wrong with that, just that most of us are from the south.
Last I checked we dont have many frozen ponds in growing up here. LOL................
Posted by: DyingBreed | January 23, 2011 at 07:33 PM
ARMANDO, WHAT IS YOUR SECRET FOR LOVING THE JETS ,IS IT JT ?
Posted by: ALoco | January 23, 2011 at 07:33 PM
OK, a perspective and intelligence question brought up on my twitter:
Do you root for a team coached by Osama Bin Laden or a the Jets if they played each other?
Which one?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 23, 2011 at 07:34 PM
Just seems sometimes these guys try to outsmart themselves. Keep it simple.
Posted by: Utdolfan | January 23, 2011 at 07:34 PM
Parcells left because he knew he missed on Henne and was on a sinking ship and he didnt want it on his record.
Posted by: DeadlyDolphinz | January 23, 2011 at 07:34 PM
Give it to Mendenhall and let him tear it up. He has been a beast today.
Posted by: Darryl Dunphy | January 23, 2011 at 07:35 PM
Armando,
I know pass was picked, but steelers go for it on 4th and 1, Sparano kicks ball there. Again, pass picked and no points but Steelers play to win and we play not to lose. Do things change in 2011?
Posted by: jrljr2 | January 23, 2011 at 07:35 PM
Armando: When the reported asked you 'what was going on down here', why didn't you take the opportunity to say that Parcells is a farce and the franchise is in the state that is because of his poor 'leadership' the past three years?
As a Dolphin fan, whenever at Patsie fan or Jests fan rides me, I just say two words: Bill Parcells.
Posted by: rand_the_fin | January 23, 2011 at 07:35 PM
Do we play the Bin Ladens twice a year too?
Posted by: VA Phin Fan | January 23, 2011 at 07:35 PM
Usama Bin Laden
Posted by: Po White Trash | January 23, 2011 at 07:35 PM
Id Root for a tie..........
Posted by: Cuban Menace | January 23, 2011 at 07:35 PM
Honestly? Osama Bin Laden jokes?
Thats just tasteless.
Posted by: DeadlyDolphinz | January 23, 2011 at 07:37 PM
Dear Mr. Salguero
Is Pittsburgs offensive huddle just to call plays or is Big Ben having sex with drunk college girls surrounded by his offensive bodyguards ?
Do you think if the Jets defense can get a FOOTHOLD of pittsburgs offense Buddy Ryan will smile ?
Soiled :)
Posted by: SoiledBottom | January 23, 2011 at 07:37 PM
Run Baby Run!!!
Posted by: Po White Trash | January 23, 2011 at 07:37 PM
Looks like Mendenhall will be the MVP of this game, Jets don't have it today.
Posted by: 0x80 | January 23, 2011 at 07:38 PM
Seeing how we play Lucifer twice a year(Bill Belechet)(BTW, Anyone else hear the runor that Belechet sold his sole to the devil)......I always root against all evil... Go God....
Posted by: Cuban Menace | January 23, 2011 at 07:38 PM
Revis was beat--the ball floated.. Even Ginn out ran him.. Go right back 2 it Tomlin!!
Posted by: robbyhernz | January 23, 2011 at 07:38 PM
It's a joke that Jets are evinced in this game.
Posted by: jrljr2 | January 23, 2011 at 07:38 PM
Armando,
OK, a perspective and intelligence question brought up on my twitter:

Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 23, 2011 at 07:34 PM
Really too close to call Armando. For me it's liking would I prefer slow death or have end quickly? Choosing the Jets is like choosing to have it end slooooooooooooowly! LOL.........
Posted by: DyingBreed | January 23, 2011 at 07:39 PM
Usamas team would likely try and use the long bomb to destroy the defense?????? Awful I know.
Posted by: Darryl Dunphy | January 23, 2011 at 07:39 PM
Soul... My bad..
Posted by: Cuban Menace | January 23, 2011 at 07:39 PM
I would root for aliens intent on enslaving humanity over the jets.
Posted by: cocoajoe | January 23, 2011 at 07:39 PM
luv to see jets trampled
Posted by: Rocko | January 23, 2011 at 07:40 PM
Right Joe!
Posted by: Po White Trash | January 23, 2011 at 07:40 PM
Honestly??????????????????????
F**** the Jests.....really.....
Posted by: Utdolfan | January 23, 2011 at 07:40 PM
You guys are nuts.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 23, 2011 at 07:41 PM
One thing i notice about Mendenhall is his ability to bounce off and cut back. Neither Ronnie or Ricky can do that.
Posted by: VA Phin Fan | January 23, 2011 at 07:41 PM
Steelers are running hard!!
Posted by: Kris | January 23, 2011 at 07:42 PM
4 yards and a cloud of dust is fun when its working, like now.
Posted by: 0x80 | January 23, 2011 at 07:42 PM
Classic Soiled.....
Posted by: Cuban Menace | January 23, 2011 at 07:42 PM
Rashard Mendenhall!!!!!!
Posted by: Po White Trash | January 23, 2011 at 07:42 PM
This could turn nasty for the Jets....I hope.
Posted by: drummerboy1963 | January 23, 2011 at 07:42 PM
The Jets look soo damn horrible and I love it.
Albert Haynesworth to the Jets next off-season if they continue to get run on.
Gotta go get that "used to be good" player and show him all the bad things people said about him before every game.
Posted by: DeadlyDolphinz | January 23, 2011 at 07:43 PM
steelers hittin them in the mouth
Posted by: Rocko | January 23, 2011 at 07:43 PM
Is it me or does Rex Ryan have the biggest teeth of any human ever?
Posted by: jrljr2 | January 23, 2011 at 07:44 PM
Armando.....the twitter question is silly.......reminds of....who wins in a fight Superman or Batman.....
Posted by: Kris | January 23, 2011 at 07:45 PM
Yes, we can hope this is very nasty for the jests.
Posted by: Utdolfan | January 23, 2011 at 07:45 PM
But we LUV you Mando!
Posted by: Po White Trash | January 23, 2011 at 07:45 PM
The Steelers are doing to the jets what the jets did to New England last week. Hittin' them in the mouth. The Steelers are the much more physical team right now.
Posted by: Darryl Dunphy | January 23, 2011 at 07:45 PM
Mendenhall has 90yds rushing with nearly half a qtr still remaining. As a team the steeleers have 116yds rushing with a full 2qtrs and 1/3 of a qtr left to play.
DAN HENNING WOULD BE PROUD! LOL................
