Editor's Note: I saw this FanPost recently, and thought Ismail raised an interesting point, so I decided to feature it on the front page. If you have a point to make, and don't feel like it fits into the comments (or if you want to take the time to write out a whole article!), go ahead and post a FanPost--I'll more than likely feature it on the front page!

Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player on the Portugues team

Karim Benzema is probably the best player on the French team

So is Real Madrid's Mesut Özil the best German international? I think it would probably be between him and schweinsteiger. But I'd go with Ozil. Its pretty crazy that few knew him only two years ago and now he's possibly the best player on the most stacked international team outside of Spain. I'm really interested in his development as I think he is probably the most important player that Real Madrid's quest to get over the Barcelona hump. I also have a feeling that he's going to take the next step by having a monster Euro 2012 and he'll finally be talked about with the other superstars of the game.

*update*

Cristiano Ronaldo apparently thinks Ozil is the best German player as well.

"He is currently the best German player."

Way to overshadow a 20 point win over a ranked team. I hope y'all know that everybody views WVU fans as an embarassment to the league. Although we've had a good rivalry in both bball and football,....I would honestly not care if we never played you guys again and moved to the Big 10. The reason is that there is no honor and dignity in playing WVU.

And before you say its a few bad apples,...the reason a few idiots feel secure enough to actually throw projectiles onto the court is because your environment and culture nurture that kind of behavior. I would never even dream of throwing anything at the Pete because it would look so out of place,..somebody would call security immediately. For you guys,...its tacitly accepted.

Rightly or wrongly,...the only thing America took away from your dominating basketball performance last night is that your fanbase is dominated by trailer trash. We'll live with last nights loss only for a few days,...you'll live with your reputation for a lifetime.

I saw he had another monster game. This dude is the truth as you all know. From the first day he stepped on the court he was dominating dudes 3 or 4 years older than him in the BigEast. His freshman year he decimated Duke's frontline for 20 and 20. We REALLY REALLY miss him here at Pitt. If we had Blair we'd probably be a top 5 team right now. As far as I'm concerned, there are 32 GMs that need to be fired for not taking this guy in the 1st round. Me and my boys were not only disgusted,...but we were grief stricken when we heard he and Sam Young went in the second. Both those guys were first rounders and they're proving it.

They're going through one on one drills. Dream still has game!!,...although you can tell he lost all his speed. And you can still see how competitive he is . I'm not sure when this was filmed but I know Josh Smith is one of the guys that used to regularly see Dream. It amazes me how highly he's regarded by the NBA community. Its often said the true measurement of a professional in any field is in how highly his peers regard him. Well everyone who ever went against the Dream said he was the best.

I recently read an article talking about how the Cavs were very similiar to the 94 Rockets, both teams had the best player in the league and good support players. That got me to thinking, obviously its not easy to compare players across positions,...but who would you rather start a team with, Lebron or Hakeem? They couldn't be more different, one of them was annointed before he even entered the league, the other had to wait 10 years before he got his due respect.

I've been browsing some of your comments,..I gotta tell you,...you guys got an absolute steal. It seems some of you think he'll only contribute marginally. McCoy will be a stud RB, trust me. He had a bad pro day, but he's simply a play maker and his football instincts are out of this world.

I've said this before, if he gets enough touches, he can be this year's Chris Johnson. He's also got great hands and an explosive first step, so he can do a lot of damage with screen passes.

You guys got a good one. Enjoy.

Guys,...I appreciate Ben as much as anybody. But the great thing about football is that its the ultimate team sport, no individual is greater than the common cause. Ben is clearly not Ben,..whether thats due to injury or some kind of shell shock from the beatings he's been taking it still adds up to him needing rest.

Remember that feeling going into ANY game knowing Ben could pull us out regardless of what he had to work with? Well thats entirely gone,...replaced with the Tommy Maddox feeling of silently praying he doesn't screw it up for the defense.

Ben will NEVER admit that he's not right. We should understand that after 2006.

But most importantly. Think about James Harrison, Aaron Smith, Lamarr Woodley, Casey Hampton, Troy. Don't you think they deserve to have the best chance at winning after their incredible performances week after week after week? Don't they deserve a playoff spot? Do they deserve to watch their season go down the toilet as their QB unfailingly puts them in impossible situations game after game? No. They deserve better.

Byron Leftwich should have started the Indy game,...he should definately start the Chargers game. Depending on his performance (if he does ok) he should start for maybe 4 weeks. Ben was not given a $100 million to be our starter for this year,...but to be our guy for the foreseeable future. 

Won't play for personal reasons,.....this is REALLY bad. Without him i highly doubt we can stop their running game.

"When you're a great team, there will be distractions," head coach Mike Tomlin told Pittsburgh's WPXI. Well, there are other distractions to add to the list: left tackleMarvel Smith, cornerback Bryant McFadden, and running back Willie Parker will all be out with injuries, and defensive end Aaron Smith will also miss the game for personal reasons. Oh, and Troy Polamalu is probably still punch drunk after cracking noggins with the Bengals' Cedric Benson last week. On the upside, Ben Roethlisberger feels great!

Look at this,...its amazing how identical the games were.

Pitt Panthers travelled to Florida this past week as underdogs in a nationally televised prime time game against USF. The game started of badly with a punt returned for a touchdown to make it 0-7.

Steelers travel to Florida as underdogs for a nationally televised game in prime time. Start the game off badly with a pick 6 to make it 0-7.

Pitt dominates the game and creates a healthy lead,.....only to let USF back in it to take the lead 21-20 quarter.

Steelers dominate the game and have a healthy lead,..only to let the Jags back in it to take a 21-20 lead in the fourth quarter.

Pitt makes a game winning drive with about 5 minutes left in the 4th. They cap the drive off with a touchdown. They then go for a 2 point conversion, however its botched by QB fumble.

Steelers make a game winning drive with about 5 minutes left in the 4th. They cap the drive off with a touchdown. They go for the 2 point conversion,..however its botched by a penalty and a missed conversion.

Pitt defense makes a stand. Pitt wins the game 26-21.

Steelers defense makes a stand. Steelers win the game 26-21.

Eagles should love the Steelers for one major reason,...we have robbed the Cowboys of glory many many times. Imagine a world where the Cowboys have won 7 or 8 superbowls,...owned the 1970's, and are unanimously touted as the greatest franchise in the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers are all that stood between you and that world.We beat them twice in the Superbowl,...we took the 1970's away from them,...and probably gained tons of fans who otherwise would have rooted for the Cowboys. Imagine dealing with Cowboy nation thats twice as large as it is now?? Yeah, that would suck.

So anyway,...the Steelers gained greatness largely at the expense of your most hated rival. You should love us.

As a Steelers fan,...my most despised teams are the Browns and Ravens,....but the Cowboys are a very close third.

One of the main premises for the opinion that Cleveland would win this division is because their schedule is easier by 2 games (Denver and Buffalo  VS San Diego and Pats). These 2 games could be the difference in a division which will go down to the wire (so they said).

From the looks of it,....Denver will be a MUCH tougher outting than New England. Jay Cutler looked UNBELIEVABLE last night,...he really is a rising star. The same can be said for Buffalo and Trent Edwards. Shawn Merriman is out for the season as of today.

Right now I would much rather play the Pats and Bolts. So far things are falling into place.
