    I wouldn't say it was "awesome" necessarily, but the author did have a couple of salient points. I thought he could have easily summed up his description of the protesters by simply referring to them as millennials with a since of entitlement. Most of them are just that, all from the "everyone gets a trophy, nobody loses" generation. I'd bet this is the first taste of losing for most of them.

    What, without any insults tossed in? Much more fun with them.

    I don't Jim enjoyed the end of the Steelers-Cowboys game. My normally mild mannered Steelers-loving friend was cursing a blue streak.
    The Steelers defense should apologize to Big Ben for wasting his brilliant comeback drive. Especially the idiot who drew the 15-yard penalty when the Cowboys had the ball.
    Damn Cowboys. I despise them.

    I don't know who pulled the face mask, I was too pissed, but I hate him now. What an idiot, with the damn game on the line. But the Steelers secondary played like crap, as per usual for this year. And if you can't stop Ezekiel, then he tears one of and wins the game. Oh - and missing 4 of the 2 point conversions. And a missed FG. Should have won, but didn't.

    Big Ben was 37 out of 46 for 408 yards and an incredible completion percentage of like 80% and 3 TD's. All in a losing effort.

    And they were ranked #3 in the NFL with a 4-1 record not long ago. Now they are 4-5.

    But Trump won!!!
