Top 10 Thursday: 10 Reasons to watch the Icy Hot Bowl tonight

Tonight is the Steelers and Bengals in what Cam Heyward deemed the Icy Hot Bowl because two old quarterbacks, Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers are going to battle it out. Now you may be thinking, old quarterbacks and Bengals and Steelers, why would I want to watch this? Well let me tell you why.

10. Watch Joe Flacco become Shane Falco.

If you have not watched the Replacements, shame on you. But in that movie, Keanu Reeves stops cleaning barnacles off his little house boat to win football games. Which is what Flacco is going to do tonight. Minus the cleaning of the barnacles.

9. Lots of sacks.

Neither of these guys can move. So there should be a plethora of sacks.

8. The Bengals become the zebras.

I’m not talking about refs. The Bengals are breaking out the all white uniforms tonight. I don’t like the Bengals but I do like those uniforms.

7. See how long it takes for DK Metcalf to start some stuff.

DK is a real solid receiver and even more solid fighter over nothing guy. I’m thinking by late first quarter he has already gotten into a scuffle.

6. Ja’Maar Chase go off…again.

I don’t like Chase. But he is really good at football. I’m sure he will have a big game.

5. Josh Allen is your fantasy QB, but he is on a bye so you have to start Aaron Rodgers tonight.

This is how I am going to convince my wife to watch this crap show tonight because she is in this situation.

4. See how many times the announcers mention how old the Quarterbacks are.

You know this is going to come up…a lot. Which is sort of ironic since Al Michaels is like 90.

3. Speaking of Al Michaels, tune in to see what color his hair is.

Al is old but obviously dyes his hair. I’m just not sure what color he is going for. Brown, Black, Orange? We’ve got to figure this out.

2. See what gets stuck in Mike Tomlin’s beard.

That thing gets out of control and grabs some spit, food and other things. Let’s see what gets in their tonight.

1. As bad as this game is, it’s still better than baseball.

Sure there are some playoff games on today, but let’s be honest. Bad football is better than great baseball. And pretty much all of the baseball games this round have been blow outs anyway. And I am betting this football game will be close.
