Ref Admits Steelers Got Gift Super Bowl
-
Some of these Browns fans could be given the same picture Gordon McCarter got shoved in his front pocket and they would still deny the Steelers got screwed.....
they did get screwed. mccarter got fined. it was a regular season game. what about this topic?
they did get screwed. mccarter got fined. it was a regular season game. what about this topic?
Any semi-reseasonable person knows it was a horribly blown call. I was commenting on the fact that there are a few people that truly beleive the crap they spew and would deny a call such of this was the wrong one.
Also, I purposely made my comment vague so a few people can kill 2 minutes of boredom and look up what I am talking about.

And I'm here for validation? That is hilarious and I sure as sh.it don't hang on anyone's every word. Although you can be rest assured that if I started posting my own topics I'd have a 10 page thread full of Browns fans hanging on my every word, troll detailed or not. You don't care yet you took the time to post yet again in response to something one of the Steeler faithful mentioned. I'm here for rival news, nothing less, nothing more. Unfortunately it usually becomes some sort of half a$$ed grade school hate fest and the discussions go nowhere. Mind you by no ones fault but someone faithful to the Brown and orange. I'm confident a majority of the Steeler fans on this board could coexist just fine if not for the percentage of mouth breathers that routinely turn threads in to something they aren't. The best part...some of you are surprised and then angry but you're angry at the wrong people. Blame your mouth breathers, not the Steeler fans.I gave you my opinion, Im comfortable with it and dont need you to validate it. You can stay here and beg for attention on a browns board that you know is hostile territory all you want. Do I come in your home and tell you what to think, say, fell? If I did im sure I would get the same reception your getting hear. If you wanna talk football then do it, you say thats what your hear for but 90% of the time your in these multi page threads pimpin the Steelers and telling Cleveland fans there view on Pittsburgh is whack. If thats what your hear for have at it, im not gonna get in a 10 page pissing match with you. Just know when you come in here you need to bring thicker skin, your gonna get guys being complete a$$hole's just because your a steeler fan. If you wanna gain some respect you can ignore them and not go on a rage about everything Cleveland because one guy makes a degrading remark. Good luck, I wont add no more to the page count.

Give it a god damn rest. Playing the "victim card' or the "Holier than though, let's talk football jesus role" is pretty damn lame. I've been here for as long as I have under this name and my old name Snatch98 discussing football. Yes I get involved in the pissing matches but when I get involved the "mouth breathers" of the board have already set in on something ridiculous Steeler related. There are for more irrational and non objective Browns fans on this board than their are Steeler fans. It's easily 9 times out of 10 someone from this message board that supports the Brown and Orange that starts a thread that turns in to 10 pages of piss flying all over the place. My skin is Rhino thick which is precisely why outside of my sig I've said sh.it about the Retarded name changes or the basic name calling. I only get involved when some facet of the Steelers is called directly in to question. The name calling doesn't phase me at all. I find it xxxxing pathetic if you ask me. Hillbillys, inbreds, pittspuke, stoolers, stealers......all a bunch of 3rd grade bullshit. Yea Steeler fans use "Stains" or say "the mistake on the lake" but when it's said it's a joke. People here use it as some sort of insult that's REALLY SUPPOSED TO HIT HOME. Does anyone actually believe any of the names I listed actually strikes a nerve with anyone that supports the Pittsburgh Steelers? I've I'm going to insult someone I'm going to do it intelligently. I'd rather make someone feel stupid than to resort to basic, cry baby name calling. Talk to your own before you come running in my direction. I don't start the sh.it, I just sling it.
Keep playing the victim if you must. I don't give a sh.it what anyone here thinks about me. I'm here to read about a division rival and participate when I deem it necessary. I'd happily post here without issue if people could hold intelligent conversations. Instead it's a bunch of once again 3rd grade name calling, roid accusations, pay off accusations. Anything to make the lot of you feel better about the lowly franchise you support. Sure I expect the Browns to turn it around and I'd be happy to see a full circle scenario but Jealousy is a bitch and every last one of the name callers is jealous. You can say "Well we have X amount of pre-era championships" but when it all boils down you'd rather have the Super Bowls and to say otherwise is a bold faced lie. Sh.it is getting old and I"m here to read more than anything. I can't police all the Retards.

Oh I don't know, about 15 posters who couldn't wait to talk about it when it came to Bill Leavy giving the haters what they want to hear. But I forgot, here's the other side, so yeah, who cares huh?So? They couldn't wait to talk about it, and apparently you couldn't wait to respond. YOu certainly helped fuel the fire, so don't complain if people respond to you.
You could have just made one post that said: "So what. Its over. We won. Too bad".
And there would have been no real arguing with that.
Fair to say?

My only comment to your rant is that I don't understand why you feel that you are victimized.
You come on here for the sole purpose of either responding in some drama queen fashion to some perceived slight of "Steelerdom" or for the purpose of setting that drama in motion yourself; yet ,you then complain about the existance of the drama, when it is the drama you exist for and thrive on.
For you, apparently, this board is merely a General Hospital/Guiding Light surrogate.
No one tells you that you have to tune in the soap opera, let alone being one of the leading actors.

Whats amusing is all these steeler fans hanging onto every comment Browns fans make......You'll never see me on a Steeler forum, I dont give two shits what any of you think. I have my own opinion, im comfortable with it and dont need it validated by anyone.

.Gip I respond to the drama. I guarantee if you go back through my posts the writing will be on the wall. Your lovely message board is a drama queen breeding ground and I simply respond. You just try to be cute about it because you aren't much different in that regard.
And yes Pre-era championships Packersfan. The measuring stick at this point in time is SUPER BOWLS. Should I repeat it? Super Bowls. I guess the Packers and the Browns do have something in common. One of two fan bases that routinely talk about the "glory days" only the Packers are at least relevant in the year 2010.

The NFL itself is the Biggest Proponent of the SUPER-BOWL Champions. They Push it Heavy ... not much emphasis at all on Pre-Super Bowl stuff. Personally Its all part of the League History , so I have No Issues with touting your NFL or AFL Championships.

Well, clearly, as I see it, it is ONLY Steeler fans that think like you do. Like I told you, you are operating under a self created delusion about this. Now it is simply confirmed by others.
As for who may or may not be relevent in 2010, by all predictions, between the Packers, Browns and Steelers, in terms of being a projected playoff team, it is ONLY the Packers that apparently are considered relevent.

Hell with the Superbowl, I'm still pissed about Larry Anderson's fumble on the OT kickoff in 1978 @Three Rivers

Hell with the Superbowl, I'm still pissed about Larry Anderson's fumble on the OT kickoff in 1978 @Three Rivers

Hell yeah. Most of these Stiller tards have no idea what the heck that means and don't care to. One of the worst calls of all time.
Fooking OT kickoff and Anderson fumbles without being touched by anybody around the twenty. Refs call him down before the Browns recovered, then Puke goes on to throw the infamous Flea Flicker to Bennie Cunningham. We could have ran 3 times into the middle and had Cockroft end the 3 Sewers jinx before it ever really got going.
Still chaps my ass.

So wait because I call out certain posters on their completely ridiculous statements I create the drama? I suppose you could look at it that way but I'm certainly not the catalyst for the drama. I'm also not the only one that looks at it that way regarding the pre-era championships and you can take that to the bank. I don't know anyone, anywhere...even in Cleveland that talks about all the championships won before the Super Bowl came to be. I have a lot of good friends that are diehard Browns fans and not ONE of them talks about the championships before the Super Bowl era. They all know the occurred but don't measure the franchise as it stands today including those championships because TODAY Super Bowls are all anyone cares about. Who knows it could be a generational thing because all of my friends are in the 20 something to 30 something range most falling in the late 20's. I'll be 28 next month. Sooooo if my contingent of Cleveland Browns fans is indicative of most in that age group I'd say it's safe to say a certain age demographic could care less about the championships won pre-era. I was in Ohio for a long time and not once did I have a discussion about it. It was never even brought up.

I was in Ohio for a long time and not once did I have a discussion about it. It was never even brought up.Let me say this. I am a die hard Browns fan! Yes I tend to be on the optimistic side. Then again I'm a fan and if you can't be somewhat optimistic going into each and every season, then what the hell is the point? At the same time I consider myself very knowledgeable of the game. With that being said, I am a "what have you done for me lately" kind of guy. I do recognize the Browns NFL and AAFC championships, and I truly feel that they count, and I respect the history, and that part of the game. If you are a true football fan you have to respect the old timers, and the pioneers of the game, that made it what it is today. However being in my 30s I have not seen a championship yet, and would like to see one at some point! I do feel that the Super Bowl is a glorified word for NFL championship, because that is in fact what it is... a championship game, right? Now with that said, here is where my "what have you done for me lately" attitude kicks in. What the Browns or the Steelers did last year, is last year! This is a new season, and a new start for everyone. We can all brag about how many championships we have had in the past, but it's a new season, and who knows what it will bring.

So wait because I call out certain posters on their completely ridiculous statements I create the drama? I suppose you could look at it that way but I'm certainly not the catalyst for the drama. I'm also not the only one that looks at it that way regarding the pre-era championships and you can take that to the bank. I don't know anyone, anywhere...even in Cleveland that talks about all the championships won before the Super Bowl came to be. I have a lot of good friends that are diehard Browns fans and not ONE of them talks about the championships before the Super Bowl era. They all know the occurred but don't measure the franchise as it stands today including those championships because TODAY Super Bowls are all anyone cares about. Who knows it could be a generational thing because all of my friends are in the 20 something to 30 something range most falling in the late 20's. I'll be 28 next month. Sooooo if my contingent of Cleveland Browns fans is indicative of most in that age group I'd say it's safe to say a certain age demographic could care less about the championships won pre-era. I was in Ohio for a long time and not once did I have a discussion about it. It was never even brought up.

You just got your ass handed to you about this by the Packer Fan. Or did you conveniently ignore that post.

OK, so, no one is claiming that Steeler fans are the only one ignorant about history. I would bet these guys don't talk about those OLD championships won way back in the 70s either.

All I can say is that what you are professing here does not speak well for your demographic.
If your generations motto is "we're young, we're dumb, and we're proud of it", well, I weep for the future.
Fortuneatly, being the father of a soon to be 20 year old I know that not to be the case, though, in his case he could care less for a football title won in 2010 or 1920 or anywhere in between (nor does he care about any won in any other sport).

Then again I'm a fan and if you can't be somewhat optimistic going into each and every season, then what the hell is the point? At the same time I consider myself very knowledgeable of the game. With that being said, I am a "what have you done for me lately" kind of guy. I do recognize the Browns NFL and AAFC championships, and I truly feel that they count, and I respect the history, and that part of the game. If you are a true football fan you have to respect the old timers, and the pioneers of the game, that made it what it is today. However being in my 30s I have not seen a championship yet, and would like to see one at some point!

As I have said many times: the only championships that really count are the last one and the next one.
Everything else is history be it an Akron Pros title from 1920 or a Steelers title from 2008.
Obviously I enjoy and study the history of football. I suppose you could tell that from my trivia.
But, that doesn't change the fact that the only title we really truly need to be concerned about is the 2010 NFL title. In the interim, the Saints can enjoy their current reign..
Fair to say?
