Steelers or Cardinals?
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
The Bat said:Yeah my buddy's brother bet on the Giants last year just to spite my buddy who was gung-ho about the Patriots all year (who wouldn't be?).
Apparently the brother had put down $50 and won about $900...
I highly doubt Cardinals high powered offense will stand a chance against Steelers defense.
And yes, Polamalu will cover 2 defenders AND rush in for a blitz and sack Warner...![]()

Even though they went a perfect season and just lost one game lol.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Let's talk facts. Last year, the Cardinals beat the Steelers 21-14, indeed. Close game considering a one touchdown difference. This year, the Steelers beat the Patriots 33-10 and the Patriots beat the Cardinals 47-7, indeed. In 2007, Pittsburgh accomplished a winning record of 10-6 and Arizona was 8-8. In 2008, Pittsburgh is 12-4 and Arizona is 9-7. So, while indeed Arizona improved upon its record, Pittsburgh improved even further, a difference between a two game improvement and one game. Even though I have Arizona in my sentiments, cold hard numbers predict Pittsburgh is the better team......Riiiiight, I seem to recall the steelers loosing to the cards last season and that was when the cards werent as good as they are now, but I guess people forget last season so fast....
