[b]AFC North Outlook[/b]

[b]Pittsburgh Steelers[/b]


[b]Strength:[/b] Coach Mike Tomlin's inability to figure out if the Steelers are a running team or a passing team keeps opposing defenses on their toes
[b]Weakness: [/b]Roethlisberger has lost considerable respect in his own locker room and throughout the league because he was not convicted of a crime
[b]Intangibles:[/b] Commitment to defense forces opposing teams to respect the Steel Curtain until they realize at halftime that it's overrated and they should probably be exploiting a secondary that is actually pretty terrible
[b]Biggest Question: [/b]Is this finally the year Dan Rooney dies?

[b]Cincinnati Bengals[/b]


[b]Strength:[/b] In the past three years, their ability to convince NFL experts the team could make it to the Super Bowl has been staggering
[b]Weakness:[/b] Terrell Owens wants to prove he can still play at a high level, but he wants to systematically destroy an entire football organization much, much more
[b]Intangibles:[/b] The combination of T.O. and Ochocinco could make the Bengals so annoying at the receiver position that other teams forfeit to avoid playing them
[b]Biggest Question:[/b] How good is Carson Palmer's psychiatrist?

[b]Cleveland Browns[/b]


[b]Strength:[/b] N/A
[b]Weakness: [/b]Okay, where to begin? Let's see, Jake Delhomme is their starting quarterback. Bobby Engram, their 37-year-old starting wide receiver, caught 5 passes last year. Running back Jamal Lewis was cut in the off-season. Man, this is fun and easy! What else? Okay! They're in a constant state of rebuilding and have no team identity, the future of the franchise is Colt McCoy, and their biggest asset is team president and non-football-player Mike Holmgren
[b]Strength:[/b] Oh, just thought of one: dog faces
[b]Player to Watch: [/b]To see Colt McCoy become a starter too early, get extremely flustered, and have a terrible rookie season could be quite delightful
[b]Biggest Question:[/b] How soon will fans bust out the paper bags?

[b]Baltimore Ravens[/b]


[b]Strength:[/b] Though it exceeds every level of human comprehension, Joe Flacco continues to improve at quarterback
[b]Weakness:[/b] On the whole, people get a depressed, nauseous feeling when forced to admit the Ravens are a pretty good football team
[b]Player To Watch:[/b] Signing free agent receiver Anquan Boldin from Arizona was a good move; however, at $3 trillion a year, the Ravens may have overspent
[b]Biggest Question:[/b] Can they avoid injuries by politely asking Ray Lewis to stop head butting them?

The bit about the Ravens doesn't offend me at all. Gotta love The Onion (most of the time).

They definitely changed the bit about Ray Lewis. It use to be a lot more offensive.

NFL To Expand Season To However Many Games It Takes To Permanently Injure Ray Lewis

September 4, 2010
NEW YORK—NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced plans Monday to expand the 2011-2012 football season from the usual 16 games to as many as it takes for Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis to suffer a career-ending injury. "We know what millions of loyal football fans really want to see: more games, and Ray Lewis suffering a catastrophic head or knee injury that keeps him off the field forever, so this is just a total win-win," said Goodell, adding that if necessary, the Ravens would play 15 games in a row against the Saints and their top-ranked offensive line. "Eighteen, 20, 30 games—hell, we'll play 50 games if [Lewis] still has any sensation from the waist down whatsoever." League officials added that if the 14-year veteran were somehow still standing after 72 games, they would remain open to backing over him with a truck and starting the playoffs the following week.

Didnt find it all that funny. The part about Dan Rooney is actually pretty pathetic even if you dont like the Steelers.

While, I thought it was pretty funny, I agree that the Dan Rooney bit isn't. Joking about the death of someone isn't a joke to me.

I understand about not taking the whole thing serious. How would you feel if someone used one of your family members as the butt of a dying joke? Im not saying I am related to Rooney either. I just think its wrong. JMO
