    If it had been us Pettine would have been forced to pen a letter to SI and ESPN profusely apologizing.

    Is Rooney a wizard or something that he can wave a stick and people forget to talk about Pgh's dirty shit?

    First... dirty? Nah... overzealous.

    Second, if a Brown had done it I truly believe Pettine would have immediately pulled him off of the field. I am actually surprised that Tomlin did not do so.

    Last play of the game, right? Anyway:

    At least the coaching staff recognises it was a douche move.

    No... 1:14 left when it happened...

    I agree not dirty: undisciplined

    Second, if a Brown had done it I truly believe Pettine would have immediately pulled him off of the field. I am actually surprised that Tomlin did not do so. I'm not surprised at all with Tomlin. He didn't do anything when Lanning got kicked in the face either.

  • So even Ben admits that there probably would have been a bench clearing on their part if the roles were reversed. Tomlin saying he didn't hear what Mitchell said and just nodded is a convenient alibi isn't it? Took them a couple days to come up with it too. And yes I completely agree that Pettine would likely have yanked that minor league ass right off the field for that shit. Tomlin didn't.

  • I'm supposed to take tomlin's word for it? The guy who tried to trip an opposing player in the biggest display of coaching douchebaggery I've ever seen? Right. I'd have an easier time believing he authorized it himself.

    Tomlin is a churlish MF'er.. And very immature IMHO.. especially after trying to trip that player.. the game/team escapes My memory.. but all in all. I'm not really surprised any.. The Stoolers are proving to be an asshole organization.

  • They really are. I'll freely admit they kind of started to grow on me when Cowher was there. They still didn't compete with the Browns for my favor mind you, but I liked Cowher and what he built there. But damn since he left it's a precession of dooshery from the players to the staff. I didn't think I could dislike teams more than I do/did the Ravens and Patriots. But these Steelers apparently really want to make Belichick and his team look like ole Tom Landry and his Cowboys.

  • The steelers never grew on me, but I bet you don't see a cowher team do this, or some of the other douchery they've done.

    yep. Greg Loyd or Kevin Greene would have pulled Mitchell aside in the lockeroom. I wouldn't want to be the guy that Greg Loyd thinks made him and his team look like cheap house ngrs.

    Ah... just caught up with this aspect. Might be innocent like Vic Morrow in Bad News Bears... but there's a pattern emerging.

    Not sure if I "liked", but I did respect.

    Still can picture Cowher stuffing that play photo in the ref's shirt on the way off the field...

    u ever see that classic pic of Cowher getting in Loyds face? That's the kind of coach I wanted in Cleveland. I like Pettine but I have yet to see him square up in any of those defense guys faces during the games. I hope it happens off the field, but it should happen on the sideline when some no name RB is closing in on a 100 yd day by halftime.

    Yes it has. Several times actually.

    I did not know "board historian" was another of your multi-faceted roles...

    ... or are you just moonlighting?
