With a Baltimore Raven win (coming in about 2 minutes), the Steelers will be toast

Posted on 01/03/2010 4:11:45 PM PST by Drea

I'm glad because I think big Ben has gotten to big for his britches.

RE: My sense is that your antipathy with the Ravens has another component

Indeed you are correct. I could never root for a franchise that was stolen from fans in another city unless the fans in that other city did not support their team. I have higher personal standards than that.

Off the top of my head— Obama, Reid, Pelosi.

Cool. Yet Roethlisberger can't steal your freedom or your money or have any impact on you personally whatsoever. How do Obama, Reid & Pelosi equate to Roethlisberger? What is it about seeing Roethlisberger brought down a peg or 2 makes you feel better about yourself?

There are a whole lot, a whole lot, of NFL players I'd put ahead of Ben as far as needing to be brought down a peg or two

JAY CUTLER comes to mind. Gawd I hate the Chicago Bears for trading Kyle Orton for the whining cry-baby Jay Cutler.

Ravens don’t score that many more touchdowns than a ballet company

Heh? They were 9th in points scored in the NFL this year and 3rd in fewest points allowed. Pay attention.

Indianapolis stole the Colts from Baltimore in 1984, if you remember. No honor among oligarchs.

I have to honestly...and I do mean this...have to say that I have never seen more lame, shallow, uniformed, front-running sports fans than those I have come across in Maryland. Don’t ever try to have a good discussion about a game or sport with them...they have no cluedown the street.

Man , you must have 7 or 8 chips on your shoulder at one time. It's a wonder you can walk the streets without falling down.

Yeah, and for twenty odd years you sad sacks thumped your chests, gnashed your your teeth, whined and cried about how devastated, mistreated, ripped off, and wronged you were, but willingly turned around and gleefully did that same thing to Cleveland without even a blink of the eye...you SOBing, disingenuous, phony, liberal jackasses.

Which reminds me, I’m pissed at the Colts for not going for the perfect record.

They should have went for it.

Meh. The Steelers did themselves in weeks ago with blowing 4th quarter leads to bad teams (and good teams, for that matter).

They had an outside chance at the playoffs, but really needed Houston to lose. They got the Denver loss they needed.

I do like Roethlisberger... I think he plays with a lot of heart, but I want him to change his off field behavior.

YAY! The Steelers won their last game. We’re happy in this house :) Rooney sucks but the Steelers rock.

Get this straight.

The Colts LITERALLY left in the middle of the night without warning.

The Browns ANNOUNCED in public that they would be leaving, and they did - after the season ended.

It is TOTALLY different. The former has NEVER happened in any US sports team transfer, ever. The latter was pretty typical MO.

Never mind after the fact that Cleveland
a) got a team in 3 years (it was guaranteed immediately)
b) got to keep their name
c) got their RECORDS back
d) don’t have to see the name “Modell” on the Ravens’ info.

Meanwhile Baltimore
a) had no guarantee and waited 11 years
b) could not have the team name back (COLTS has to do with our racing heritage; Indiana is not at all famous for horses)
c) could not have their records back
d) still have to see “IRSAY” on the “Colts’” info

Totally different.

My husband is not happy. More typical Steeler fan - way too serious about this game.

Unfortunately, every Steeler item supports Obama.

Oh yeah. My husband was freaking out during the 2nd half, especially about the defense (or lack thereof). I’m just happy they won.
