    Aw c'mon, and deny wizards like Flugel and Furns the chance to own up to all their wrong-sayings?

    Now that's just not fair.

    I would like to thank you for acknowledgeing my wizardry. As for wrong sayings, I'd like to take back when I said "I respect the Squeelers organization." I now know that was a wrong saying.

    Who cares who started it?

    The Steelers "won" their Superbowls solely because of steroids. Period.

    Because ONE team doing it in 1963 does NOT prove that many other teams did it at all during 1963, let alone during the rest of the '60s or even '70s.

    What would you expect out of a team using steroids at an alarming rate, way more than any other team? A defensive intensity that is simply impossible to overcome. Also known as, the six superbowls the Steelers have supposedly "won." More specifically, the Steel curtain of the 70s, and the number one defenses of both 05 and 08.

    All you've got to to do is watch them play in one of their best seasons and it's blatently obvious that those players are differently built and differently intensified than the team they're playing against.

    Case in point : James Harrison.

    Besides, if all the other teams used them too, wouldn't they have tons and tons of players dying before the age of 50, and a book about false glory, and a doctor caught buying steroids on his personal credit card?

    One other team has been caught -- the 63 Chargers. And they're out. So are the 70s Steelers. That's all there is.

    Flugel for one. For years he harped about how the Steelers were the "guinea pigs", the first to ever use. Now we see how false that is.

    I'm honored to have Joe Sixpack gagging on the truth again. Joe doesn't have a high pain tolerance so we can get him crying very rapidly and profusely.

    Hey remember the movie "Something for Joey?" Here's what I got for you Joey: "False Glory" wirtten by Pittsburgh Steeler Steve Courson exposing the dark secrets of shame and guilt that his team pioneered widespread in the NFL. Read it and weep.

    When they refer to the 70s - they call it the steroids era of the NFL. Joe has NEVER liked hearing this. And guess what team EVERYONE mentions when they speak of this era? The most steroid concentrated team residing in Pittsburgh. I call them the Pittsburgh Stee-roids.

    I guess Shuan Roger does roids becuase he usually beats the center when going up against them 1-on-1.....

    Like blindly accusing whatever Steeler you want of doing roids?.....

    Like accusing Steeler fans of hoping Willis McGahee dies dispite all the fans yelling "good luck" and "get well"....

    Like Browns fans cheering Bens head and neck injury while he lay motionless on the ground and becoming enraged when he gave a thumbs up to show he is okay?....

    Like blaming cheating, refs, steriods or whatever they can think of EVERY time Steeler win a game?.....

    Like say Ben was dumb for crashing his bike, while Winslow was still on the team?....

    Like saying Steeler fans are redneck for an unexplained reason, and ignoring the question, "How can an urban city be redneck"?....

    etc, etc, etc....

    Yeah, there is a lot of " inconceivable levels of ignorance and stupidty below that which I previously thought possible" on this board. 😆

    And ya know, I used to think you dudes were just busting nuts... but apparently you actually do believe these fairy tales. Which is why we had to bring the Chargers story to light. And the list of all the guys who were juicing long before the Steelers put on unis in the '70s.

    Joe you're gonna need novacaine to stay in this thread because you're a pussy. The Steelers were the FIRST team to go widespread with it. It's a FACT. It's why they've had more funerals for guys under 50 than any other team. What's NEXT? The SI articles counting Steeler burials were written by a Browns' fan? The former Steeler who wrote False Glory said the ONLY steroids in his previous locker-room prior to Pittsburgh were his. Then in Pittsburgh, if you were a linemen that couldn't bench press over 500 pounds at a time this was unthinkable - you were an exception to the rule of "win at all costs."

    Like I said before, the early burials weren't worth the counterfeit rings. We don't play pretend here.

    Aren't you the SAME guy that wanted to inform our entire board that Lyle Alzado represented the rule and not the exception in Cleveland? The ENTIRE team and fanbase hated his ass. The Browns actually had an anti-drug program called the Inner Circle so I see why there's 1 more thing you're envious of.

    "We were horrible role models."

    "I got rid of my rings because they represented shame and cheating!"

    Sports Illustrated didn't do a casket count for any other team. Not even the 63 Chargers. Imagine that!

    Most people outside of Pittsburgh know what False Glory means. Nobody in Pittsburgh has the first clue. Go figure!

    Was this BEFORE or AFTER you and your buddies interrupted every Browns message board you could find to celebrate the day Kellen Winslow had a motorcycle accident? Selective memory?

    Let's just say when I heard the Drama Queen was still going to be starting on opening day - I had some fun with the irony of it all. That said, it's not in me to go on your message boards to intervene with the process of people trying to enjoy their team. You wouldn't understand because here you are. To be honest, I didn't think your local paper was so piss poor that it needed to invade a Browns' Private message board in order to find worthy reading material and STEAL it for your papers. Anyway, here were my summary of comments to Browns fans:

    "I wonder who is wearing the bigger head turban today - Bin Laden or Ben Riden?"

    -and-

    "There's just something about Steelers QBs bouncing off hard surfaces that makes this rivalry fun."

    Let's see... all I've done is post a link to a video of guys from the team that started steroid use in the NFL, talking about how they started steroid use in the NFL. I let them do the talking, not my words. The actual players, for all to see and listen to.

    And I'm the one who's smoking the good stuff huh?

    Yeah, just like I was high back when I told you guys were doing this stuff way before the '70s.

    Now who's high?

    Again, why weren't you guys all over the Van Pelt story? Instead of getting all giddy over Jeff Reed.

    Just proves my point.

    You know, I know, and they know you have proved a good point. They won't admitt it and throw personal attacks like Ben throws game winning tds after leading great hurry up offense down the field. They know they are hypocrites and admitt to being biased against the Steelers. (As if we couldn't have figured that out) They will take both sides to any situation just as an excuse to attack the Steelers. (Ex: Remember week 17 this year? Leading up to the game they said Tomlin was dumb and we were going to lose in the first round of the playoffs becuase Tomlin was going to rest the starters. When they found out we were playing are starters they said Tomlin was dumb becuase someone was going to get injured. Then they cheered like crazy as Ben lay motionless on the ground will a head/neck/back injury.) I hope you have figured out to not take them seriously. I just can't figure out why all the hate? It was the Ravens who took their team from Cleveland and it was the Steelers who voted to keep their team in Cleveland. A lot of what these Browns fan say/do is out of arrogance. They want to live success so if they dimish others success and act if they are the best, in their mind, they will be they best.

    Alzado had his best years with Cleveland. Yeah I can just hear the Brownie fans "oh nice sack Lyle! But we hate you because you do 'roids!" Oh man you are hilarious!

    Good to see ya again Flugie.

    That's just it Joe - you don't do any research before tasting your Nikes. We're kind of used to this with you.

    CAREER Tm G GS

    8 yrs DEN 99 98

    4 yrs OAK 51 51

    3 yrs CLE 46 30

    They didn't record sacks until 1982 - the year Lyle went to Oakland. If you look at the # of games and the number of starts, Cleveland was his worst place. Not that you needed to see this if you ever heard him say he played his worst football in Cleveland.

    They needed to get proof people actually say completely rediculous and stupid things and you were the best example that could be found. If you hate the Steeler so much and feel most of what them and there fans do is wrong, then isn't it using circular reasoning to use their actions as an excuse for your actions? I don't stop you when you people are enjoying your team. I sometimes join your draft discussions and tried to join in threads concerning who would be your next head coach. Enjoying your team doesn't mean you say rediculous things about other players, teams, and fans. Trash-talking is one thing and supposed to be fun, making fun of injuries among other things are sick and rediculous.
