    Actually his boyfriend nicknamed him that after painting his back each time he pulled out.

    And the Steelers don't cheat

    The Brown's Ryan Tucker never failed a drug test for roids and he WAS immediately cut after he failed it and not kept around on the team for another year.

    F Ryan Tucker. i'm glad he got caught and cut. never liked him from day one.

  • These head contact hits are the talk of the town throughout the entire Nation, and on every network. It's the main topic of discussion throughout the entire Nation. However Pittsburgh missed the memo while out throwing a ticker-tape parade for Big Ben's return. Three virgin coal miners daughters were offerred up to Big Ben, and BunsofSteel made Ben a nice head-dress out of lilacs.

    Once again you simple xxxx because you and I already hashed this out once I didn't say anything about Shipley. I didn't watch that game, didn't see the hit and don't believe players should be penalized for playing aggressively. You routinely lump every Steeler fan in to the same boat. Last I checked I'm the only one here posting under this moderator altered name. I'll wait for my apology you simple xxxx.

    Exactly I didnt see ONE Steeler Fan Knock TJ WARD. In Fact several of us said we Like the Kid and would love to have him in the Burgh. These Pussies make up so much BS ... BITTER BITTER BITTER... its so much like a Woman at "That time of the Month"... Go get some testosterone injected and become MEN Again.

    What is sad is how closely you follow our "lowly" Browns.

  • Well, you guys may as well cut TJ Ward now. With the rules changes they are proposing an enforcer type in the secondary will be rendered useless. All the bitching and moaning the xxxxs in this country, especially within the Browns fanbase, looks to be causing the league to crack down on "devestating hits". That means even if a hit is 100% by the rules legal,the player can be suspended if he hits too hard.

    This is the fukkkking destruction of the NFL as we know it, and you clowns are sitting around applauding it. We should all have fun talking smack on which one of us has the better flag football team for the next decade. This shit is knee-jerk reaction at it's very worst.

    Destruction of the NFL, and we are all witness!

    you guys will defend assholes to the end of the earth. can't one of you EVER admit that a steelers player might have been wrong, ever? they say it takes a man to admit when he's wrong...............don't catch your skirt on the way out the door, drive safe and have a good day!!!

    Harrison's hit on Cribbs, legit.

    Hit on massafockwhatever, maybe.

    I checked the replay a bunch of times, I'm not sure it's an illegal hit.

    However, in Goodell's pussification of the NFL, the fact that Harrison took out two stains players coupled with other helmet-to-helmet hits on Sunday, I'm guessing Goodell dishes out some fines. Makes him look stately.

    Same for the suspension on Ben. 4 (6) games for being accused. Goodell pandered to minority pressure to suspend a successful white guy and Ben was the easiest target.

    All the wrong moves for the wrong reasons.

    But if you want the NFL marketed, merchandised, played overseas and made appealing to non-football fans who only watch the Superbowl for the commercials, then Goodell is your guy.

    He's singlehandedly dismantling the best game on earth. The issue is bigger than a couple of arguable fines.

    Hey Chuck, if you want to hate on someone, hate on the NFL. BAAwhahah!

    We tried to educate you guys that this was coming yesterday. Don't shoot the messenger when it was your dumb ass player that had to cross the line with that display in the Super Bowl followed by knocking two guys out in one quarter then topping all that off by running to the media and boasting dumb ass poster-child quotes to stir the pot.

    Harrison is a tool, Big Ben is a tool, and you are blind.

  • Get lost, kid. Big boys are talking football.

    Stick with the smack threads, it's more your style.

    The NFL will announce by Wednesday that, effective this weekend, even first-time offenders face suspension for "devastating hits" and "head shots," according to Ray Anderson, the league's executive vice president of football operations.

    "We can't and won't tolerate what we saw Sunday," Anderson said Monday. "We've got to get the message to players that these devastating hits and head shots will be met with a very necessary higher standard of accountability. We have to dispel the notion that you get one free pass in these egregious or flagrant shots."

    Anderson was alluding to the normal disciplinary measures in which the league has issued fines for first-time offenders and, very often, second-time offenders.

    "What we saw Sunday was disturbing," Anderson said. "We're talking about avoiding life-altering impacts."

    Sunday's games produced a number of violent hits.

    The Eagles' DeSean Jackson and the Falcons' Dunta Robinson were knocked out of their game after a frightening collision in which Robinson launched himself head first into Jackson. Both sustained concussions, and Jackson is not expected to play in Week 7.

    Ravens tight end Todd Heap took a vicious hit from Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather that Heap called "one of those hits that shouldn't happen." The team was in contact with the league about the tackle.

    Steelers linebacker James Harrison sidelined two Browns players with head injuries after jarring hits. An NFL spokesman said one of the tackles, on Josh Cribbs, was legal. The Browns were more upset about Harrison's hit on Mohamed Massaquoi, which the league is reviewing.

    And Jets safety Jim Leonhard was flagged 15 yards for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Brandon Lloyd in a 24-20 win over the Broncos.

    Anderson would not speculate earlier Monday on how many players would be punished for hits from the past Sunday's games. Players also can be ejected from games for illegal hits, but that's rare.

  • Anyone watch the MNF post-game show?

    Anyone watch MNF here?

    Anyway, Steve Young is right. Start taking away big hits and football isn't football anymore. Call it (quoting Young) "rugby with helmets".

    This is Goodell's NFL. Football is dead.

  • The NFL will soon be like pee wee football. Let's not even keep score anymore. Would not want to hurt someones feelings let alone get an injury in a sport that was meant to be violent.

  • Unbelievable how much of a bunch of pussies there are as fans of the NFL anymore. This game was designed to be violent. It's supposed to be that way. The more they change rules to make the game safer the more the game suffers. Yes, players get hurt, sometimes seriously. It's why they get paid millions of dollars. It's part of the game and always should be. This game was never meant to be safe.

    so you stood up and cheered when darryl stingley was carted off the field? instead of human beings lifting themselves and launching themselves at opponents, why don't we fill up a big bag of shit and shoot it out of a cannon at the guys coming across the middle? nobody's calling for the end of aggressive play..........violent thug play yes. too bad your team is on the giving end of the argument because of harrison. and because he is your boy everyone in steeler land just argues against anything involving their team.
