Is your soul crushed? Does your heart feel like it was impaled by a fleur-de-lis? We have your medicine.

Welcome to the first real hangover of the 2010 Steelers season. When your alarm clock went off on Monday morning, you sat up in bed and gazed out the window with the glum, dead-eyed 10,000-mile-stare typically fashioned by actors in monochromatic Zoloft commercials.

If you have Steeler-hating friends, your inbox is going
to look like the warn-torn streets of Mogadishu this week.
Let them have their fun.
But you certainly took the loss a lot harder than Ben Roethlisberger, who was positively giggly after Sunday night's 20-10 slugfest in N’awleans.

Benjamin Roethlisberger: Voice of Reason? Has it really come to this?
Say what you want about Big Ben, but his post-game demeanor was impressive, even inspiring. None of his pre-Milledgeville, mealy-mouthed hallmarks were on display: the aloof shoe-gazing, shaggy hair and baggy hoodie were gone, replaced with a pinstriped blazer and a little something your grandfather calls gumption.
Roethlisberger looked reporters in the eye. He stayed positive and exuded confidence despite suffering his first setback since returning from suspension. He wore a suit, for crying out loud.
