Steelers or Cardinals?
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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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...![]()

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....
