1. He always smiles when he plays football. Even when its hard. He loves football that much.
2. As of this Sunday, he has caught more touchdowns than anybody else.
3. He's bi-racial (black and Korean) and proud of it. This has made a HUGE difference in Korea, where anybody that wasn't 100% Korean was outcaste.
4. He loves to block. Wide receivers are typically smaller, and avoid contact, but Hines seeks it out. He enrages/embarrasses bigger defensive players by putting a hurt on them.
5. He plays through pain (again, still smiling)
6. He plays well in bad weather (see the last two games)
7. He can throw (he was a QB before he became a wideout).
8. He doesn't complain about being on the run-heavy Steelers (it gives him more chances to block!).
9. He's generous in Korea, Georgia, and Pittsburgh.
10. He's going to be instrumental in the Steelers defeat of New England.

DUDE. Your Steelers aren't making it easy on themselves: :::link:::
Like the Pats don't have enough to play, hoping to "redeem" themselves after two poor primetime appearances.

My mother has been celebrating her annual 49th birthday for eight years now. My father's advice would be to just let it slide. They have been married for almost 40 years, so those are words of wisdom.

10 Things I like about Buffalo RisingCategory: 10 things
They were nice to me, so I am giving some love back. You all know that (e:strip) is my first love (and I've already made a list proclaiming it!)
1. It's updated every day (unlike my blog)
2. There's lots of discussion (and sometimes a smart comment, too)
3. News pops up there quickly.
4. Rumor pops up there quickly (I'm not sure if this is good, but I like it).
5. They cheaply, quickly, and effectively promote Buffalo events.
6. It looks nice.
7. It's driven people to elmwoodjesus.org
8. It turned me into a rockstar.
9. Newell is a nice guy and an agent of change for the better in the neighborhood.
10. It points to good places to eat.
More/better posts soon, I promise. Hannukah is here. Light a candle! Throw out that occupying army!

Where is the Drew who once upon a time moved to Buffalo and was pastor of a church.
Now it is all spot lights and red carpets for Mr. Big Time. I want the old Drew back. ;_;
he he he, congrats on the growing publicity.

drew - you better be careful. I heard this morning some famous 'pastors' are being investigated for acting outside of the church's tax-exempt status. With you starting to live so large - you just better watch out!!

Just think, if membership keeps doubling every year, in 10 years you'll have a million members.

Don't ask me why I'm a Steelers and Penguins fan when I never even see the penguins on TV nor have I ever been there. That being said I like that number 10 doesn't say if it will be this week or in the playoffs. I do think the Steelers are good enough to beat them. However if The Pats play there best football (unlike last couple of weeks) I don't think the steelers have a chance. It all comes down to who plays better. On a side note it is to bad that in Football we here so much more about all the troubled players instead of the none trouble and often more humble guys in the league.
Even though there isn't a blue Buffalo on his helmet, I root for the guy. The dude is a total GAMER and is just sooo good. And a Super Bowl MVP!
I've had a healthy respect for him for a couple seasons now. I think it was in 05, either he was in the middle of contract negotiations. He set that aside to be with the team even though he wasn't ready. He put an end to contract matters to be with the team at the final exhibition game and had hisself ready to go for the opener the next week.
Hope he rocks this weekend.
I like that Hines Ward is attractive...yummy!
