Yeah the Steelers would never do anything shady to win. Steroids in the 70's....no biggie there.
Yup. This year completely broke the Steelers fans I know. They're now Jets fans even though their team has actually been very successful (when they don't have to go through New England, that is).
Pitt media too. For all the Zeise foolishness, there are some good reads at PPG and other places. One of them advocated surrendering their 1st for Butler.
Even when Lebeau was there and blitzing like crazy, Brady tore them up. He had more success against Brady than their current DC, Butler, but the Pats still had their way with Pittsburgh many times.
Under Chuck Noll the Steeler mantra was literally "Whatever It Takes". As a Pittsburgh fan that column is embarrassing.
I love the Boone Homer. It is the lying who're that broke up with me right before I met my wife, had two beautiful kids, and lived the good life.
It's kinda crazy that for all their bluster, routinely being a top playoff team, and winning 2 SB titles in the Belichick-Brady era, that they are 2-10 against Tom Brady on the field. One of those was the game that stopped the 21-game win streak in 2004, and the other was the total shitshow in 2011 in a year we went to the SB anyway (they also beat Cassel in 2008). Other than that, they usually give us a game, but they haven't come out on top, ever.
Wait, what? They got frustrated about not beating the NEP so they switched to supporting... the NYJ?
Pretty sure he means that they are equivalent. Both beaten down with little/no hope of beating the Pats while Brady and Belichick are around.
Gotcha. Well, I know where they can get some game used Giants stuff at a bargain if they change their mind.
You would get that response in Denver for the most part. It's unbelievable.
Sort of.
It's been a few years since I was last in So Cal, but last time I was there, a majority of the people I met weren't from So Cal. Many of them were from "Boston". I put Boston in quotes, because to them, Boston encompassed most of NE. I guess my point is that there are not a lot of native Californians in Southern California. Or at least was the case many years ago. I guess it's kind of like Florida.
That is some outstanding trolling from the first responder to the tweet. What makes it even better is how it completely flies over the head of everyone else.
True, but those native South Californians have spent their lives in an environment where they are constantly interacting with transplant fans from all over the country. I've also noticed that it's much more normal to be tolerant of other people's sporting interests and not so bull headed when it comes to your own team since I moved out here. Even when I run into the occasional Lakers die hard, the air is quite different than meeting a Yankees fan in NY.
Steelers fans don't feel that way from the fans I know (I lived in that area). A lot feel he doesn't have what it takes to bring them back to the Super Bowl. His record against the Pats is a huge sticking point for them, and while successful, they feel he should have won more titles.
I totally agree. I think we would love Tomlin for the most part if he coached here or anywhere else. He seems like a good guy -- certainly not a HC in the class of Belichick, but a guy players like playing for who has been largely succesful.
Wait... what?
