Alright, we haven't had a soccer troll in a while! Welcome, Godfather! All you have to do is answer three questions and you'll be allowed to continue:1) Who would win in a fight between David Beckham and Ray Lewis? Hell, I'd even say David Beckham and Neil Rackers would be one-sided.
2) What is Cover-2? (Hint: It's not the latest fad in shin guards)
3) Why do you hate sports that require more scheming, athleticism, and brutality than ones that center on kicking a ball towards a rainbow-clad guy diving headfirst into a metal post?
You better change that pic of the Raiders with the canes and walking sticks to the Steelers because your team got beat. 😛
Yeah.
It was brutal, especially with all those kickoff fumbles.
I do give credit to Romo though, he is definitly much better than anticapted and it was a godsend as an Cowboy fan to actually watch an QB get of out defensive pressure. He is definitly the man this season to play QB, it wont help the Cowboys make the playoffs but atleast it makes the games much more enjoyable to watch because of the lack of sacks.

Yeah, but that pic was from 2003.
The only way I can sum up the Steeler's atrocities this season is this analogy.
On the golf course, you can hit a good drive, a nice approach, a good chip...but if you putt it 80 yards past the hole all that means nothing.

I know Priest was injured, but when Herman named LJ the starter he didnt know if Priest was going to be back or not.LJ's performance over the last 9 games were amazing, but lets not forget about Priest, in 02 he scored 21 TD's, in 03 he scored 27, and in 04 he scored 14. Then in 05 he was sharing carries with LJ, thats when his numbers started to go down and then he got injured.
Does anyone have the Chief payroll numbers this year? What is Larry Johnson's cap hit versus the Priest's? I was just curious if it was one-sided or a mega-hit. Or the possibility that they're dishing out $12 million for the production of one RB.

I hope he plays another year, so he can show people that he still can get the job done.

I was really dissapointed that the Bengals lost to the Falcons....but Seeing that the Steelers lost to the Raiders kinda made me smile just a little bit. Now next week is a must win game for the Bengals...man I am nervous cuz Baltimore is on fire.
I hope you wreck them.
Damn Eagles.... hopefully this bye week helps.

Around the horn is talkin about how over rated big ben is. People who use "hes a superbowl winning QB" need to realise he was the worst or second worst superbowl performer ever.
One word: Wow. The greatest sitcoms in history couldn't have made this stuff up. Talk about persistent! And guess what? EVERYBODY knows he played subpar in the Super Bowl. Wanna write a book about it? Yes, he played below average, even if he did convert a first down running the ball late in the game that sealed the deal, and even if he did outplay Peyton Manning in the AFC Divisional Playoff game. The following was a great collection of valid points from a Steelers fan I found in February.
20 Reasons Seattle Can't Blame the Refs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the Seattle crybabies and other excuse makers...print this out and give it to them, no need to say anything.
1. The Refs didn't give up the longest run in SB history...Seattle's defense did.
2. The Refs didn't bite on a 43 yd trick play, Randle to Ward for a TD...Seattle's defense did.
3. The Refs didn't allow Ben to scramble around on a 3rd and 28 and complete a long pass to the 2 yd. line...Seattle's defense did.
4. The Refs didn't miss two field goals, that was Seattle.
5. The Refs didn't fail to step out of bounds late in the 1st half to stop the clock in Pitt territory in a crunch time situation...Seattle's offense did.
6. The Refs didn't let the 1st half clock tick down from 48 seconds all the way down to 13 seconds before finally running their next play at Pitt's 36 yd line...Seattle's offense did.
7. And on this play, 3rd down, 53 yds away from a FG, it wasn't the Refs who tried and failed to go deep for a TD rather than a safer 5-7 yd play and timeout setting up a much easier FG attempt....that, again, would be Seattle's offense.
8. The Refs didn't get confused by Pitt's zone defense and throw an INT...that would be Seattle's QB.
9. The Refs didn't let a little physical contact intimidate them from catching 4 very catchable passes...that would be the Seattle TE Jeremy Stevens.
10. With approx. 20 seconds left in the game, knowing they need a TD and FG, in no particular order, and in easy FG range on 4th down, it wasn't the Refs who ignored the FG and elected to throw up a prayer trying for a TD...that AGAIN would be Seattle.
And Seattle if you're still crying and still reaching for excuses...
11. The Refs didn't constantly punt deep into the end zone, repeatedly giving Pitt the ball at the 20 yd line...that of course was Seattle.
12. It wasn't the Refs who received a Christmas gift wrapped easy INT lobbed in perfect position to return deep into Pitt territory...the lucky beneficiary of that break would be Seattle.
13. It wasn't the Refs who got a break when a Steeler DB dropped an easy int early in the game...that too would be a break for Seattle.
14. It wasn't the Refs who caught a break when a Steeler WR dropped a very catchable TD pass...that break again would go to Seattle.
15. It wasn't the scapegoat Refs that received a break when a WR caught the ball, turned, stepped, was hit hard enough to cause a fumble, and then ruled INCOMPLETE...that would be of course, another chance for Seattle.
(this was an interesting call considering that after Troy's famous overruled Int, the NFL stated that it WAS a catch. If so, than this definitely WAS a catch)
16. The Refs werent the ones who caught a break when at the conclusion of a 2nd qtr play, as a Pitt DE was walking away, the Seattle Center blindsided the defenseless player, leveling him to the ground. This mysteriously unseen crime was again another break for Seattle.
17. It wasn't the Refs who got a break when Pitt QB Big Ben was blocked in the back as he pursued the DB who he'd tossed an int to...that again would go to Seattle.
18. It wasn't the Refs who stopped Seattle RB Alexander in a few key situations. That would be the Pittsburgh Steelers.
19. It wasn't the Refs who converted many of their 3rd downs yet stopped their opponent on 3rd down often...that would be the Pittsburgh Steelers.
20. And the very bottom line is this...On plays when there wasn't any penalties...One team made plays and one team didn't. The end result was the final score, 21-10 Seattle was outcoached and outplayed.
ive seen that before. Ive never claimed seattle played great. Seattle played bad, pittsburgh played bad it was an awful game on both sides. The reffing was also as bad as any team was.
Also i didnt bring this up, just because i said something negative about ben isnt me bringing up seattle got robbed. Woody Paige has said for a while Ben is a highly over rated QB. I also dont notice the him out playing manning part. Yea his team won and he made a tackle on harper who was too dumb to take it outside.. but other than a nice tackle ben certainly didnt outplay manning. But still all i was doing was talking about Ben and I see nothing wrong with that. And I dont see being a superbowl winning QB as a reason for making someone great if they played god awful in the superbowl.
I guess it comes down to you cant have anyone say anything you dont like about a pitt player after a loss.
I've probably posted it before. Well, if I defend "yeah, but he's a super bowl winning QB" with "they won as a team," I would expect "nuh-uh! The refs did! hardy har lol lol lol lol", whereas I would have to post that list. I was just trying to save some time and cut to the chase.
Trust me, I'll admit Ben's making poor decisions this year and not afraid to blast a Steeler player who's not pulling his weight. It's just the daily, random-ass "Pitt" blastings that come out of nowhere (Yes, something off "Around the Horn" is random) are getting a bit old.
