the countdown begins

There's no better way to celebrate the start of baseball season than to look right past it and on to football season. The Steelers pre-season schedule has been released, and it all starts August 5 with the Hall of Fame Game... so now apparently I need to pay attention to the Hall of Fame Game. Their August 26 pre-season game against the Eagles will also be carried live on national TV, so you get two chances to savor the efforts of a bunch of fourth string guys who won't make the cut (or as I like to call them, "future Browns").

Let's breakdown the pre-season, shall we?
8/5 - New Orleans Saints @ Hall of Fame Game (undoubtedly the biggest party to hit Canton since Namath's induction party)
8/11 - Green Bay Packers (how much Brett Favre do you get here? one series? two? do they even make him dress for this one?)
8/18 - @ Washington Redskins (here's hoping that Clinton Portis is at mid-season crazy by this point)
8/26 - Philadelphia Eagles (now that my disparaging Jeff Garcia signs have been rendered useless, I don't care about this game)
8/30 - @ Carolina Panthers (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)
