Mike,

I feel dumber for having read your post, good work as I’ve read a lot of garbage before and I can’t say that too often.

You should ask for your money back on your Ivy League education – it does not appear to be money well spent.

I wouldn’t throw out the fact your an attorney – as it gives attorneys a bad name.

Ramblings such as yours are usually reserved for drunks in a bar – so hopefully you were drunk when you wrote it.

Cheers.

BULL SHIT!!!! The steelers won and earned wins in 40 and 43. and they going to win again in 45. Haters keep hating, the steelers will just keep winning. They are Americas team and a modern day dynasty, Ben doesnt get the praise of a brady or a manning, but he is the best QB in the league and hes about to get his 3rd Superbowl ring!!!! I dont know what league youve been watching this year but the steelers got screwed by the refs in every game this year. GO STEELERS!!!!

Well I guess if being an Ivy League educated attorney makes me a Red Neck then I guess you’re right, I am. And if being pro toughness and anti-douchebaggery makes me a red neck, again, sign me up. If being against whinny weak-kneed complainers, ignorant activists that march endlessly just because, and corporate managers who know nothing about the sport they are managing, then again, I am. And Seeing as how my country, 40 years ago, was on top of the world – I would gladly turn back the clock 40 years. And what, may I ask, mighty and powerful nation are you from CaptainAge? Our simpering, spineless, ungreatful little brothers to the north? Or perhaps the Ol’ Island whose ass we beat twice before preceding to put a leash on them and walk them around the global neighborhood like a little bitch poodle? Either way, having traveled the world, I’ll take my nation in a recession over any other pigeonhearted, pusillanimous, lilly-livered, weak kneed, pathetic, afraid of their own shadow, androgynous manhood hating, politically correct spewing, peacenik, naive, pathetic, cowardly excuse for a nation you represent. Alas, I fear my country too is heading the way of pink shirts, tight jeans, and soccer. In the mean time, I’ll fight for red meat (rare), hard hits, and a the sort of tough, shut up or put up, get over it and move on, take no prisoner’s mentality that defined this nation (see General Washington, Andrew Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt, General Patton, John Wayne, etc.) and this sport (see Negurski, Dick Butkus, the Steel Curtain, Ronnie Lott (who had his finger amputated so he could play in the Super Bowl)). For the life of me I can’t understand why a bunch of tree hugging, tea-totaling, spinach eating, namby-pamby fantasy sports playing band geeks even comment on these boards (and for the record I was a four year starter at line backer in college) – you obviously aren’t the “football type” so go back to watching soccer or playing cricket or something.

“They did make a bad call saying Hasselbeck tripped a Steeler after he threw the INT.”

You’re mostly right, but you’re wrong here. That was not a bad call, it was a correct call of a terrible rule. That rule — which said that a player could not cut the lead blocker for a ball carrier — was a terrible rule. It existed for exactly ONE year, and was rescinded after that season.

That very same idiotic rule, by the way, hurt The Steelers in a late game that season AND was called against Roethlisberger in the AFC playoff game against the colts, nearly giving them the game. So, it hurt the Black and Gold as well.

But it wasn’t a bad call.
