| Man, I live in Brazil. The thing that ties me to the Steelers, is that I was born in Pittsburgh and lived there for a few years when I was a baby. But then I came to Brazil and I've been living here since I was 2! |

Jaws says that Joe Flacco has the strongest arm in the entire nfl!  smh!! 
| Quote: | “That’s Flacco’s No. 1 attribute,” Jaworski said, via Matt Vensel of the Baltimore Sun. “I get so tired of hearing how arm strength is overrated. It’s far more important than people think. He has the strongest arm in the NFL.”
Jaworski said that strength gives the Ravens “the ability to attack all areas of the field at any point in the game.”
“The element always overlooked by those who minimize arm strength is the willingness of quarterbacks like Flacco to pull the trigger,” Jaworski said. “Few recognize that because there is no quantifiable means by which to evaluate throws that are not made by quarterbacks with lesser arm strength. It’s all about dimensions.” |

Guess which Steelers QB probably had the greatest arm strength in team history?
The Bubster.
What does that tell you about arm strength?

Alright so this place is DEAD. Someone needs to put together some forum awards to bring a little more life to the forum with us finishing up the SFFD. Not it!

Off-seasons are message board killers. And the NFL off-season is way longer than any other of the big sports.
But, maybe we should start a Steelers forum Olympics thread? That should carry us until training camp.

So after 11 months of trying, I finally landed a job. A real job. Got about an hour drive each way, but it is a HUGE career boost since this is my first job in my field.

Well done sir. 
My wife and I both work full-time and are at each other's throats at times. Kids. Battleground.

Technical writing. Bit of a tough field to get into around the DC area where I live. Too many times they want tech writers with government experience or high level security clearance. So if you have neither, like I did, it gets tough to convince someone to hire you.

Ah, I would go nuts with that job . Hope you enjoy it. I know how it is living an hour away from work, brutal if you have to wake up in the morning.
