    And please get rid of that cheerleader masquerading as a color commentator- Dave Lapdog.....  

    FIFY

    NOT that I care...I don't ever recall listening to a home radio broadcast of a Bengals game....though I think it is possible that they have an outlet in Massillon  (very low power...can't even get it where I am)

    Then try 700 AM WLW out of Cincinnati- for kicks and giggles. They're one of those 50,000 watt clear channel jobs like CKLW used to be (maybe still is).  I can easily pick them up as far north as Mansfield- never tried any farther north though. If you're really curious, you can stream their broadcast over the internet. Just like when I'm in the mood, I can stream 850 WKNR Cleveland and listen to all the latest Browns chatter.   Yup, now that Myron Cope is dead- talk about a voice that would grate on your nerves. Gipper you probably remember Arnold Stang from back in the 60s. I would swear Myron sounded just like him. But now,  Lapham HAS to be the worst I've heard that's still alive. GO! GO! GO! Come on guys, we need a stop NOW!!!!   Barf.

      Are they still clear channel or is it Live Nation Now? I hated clear channel don't get me wrong but I fucking despise Live Nation, I was happy back when it was still AM/FM/ inc. they treated us some what ok  but Live Nation treats us like live stock.

          I really hate living where I do because I live close to Pittsburgh. I just heard on the radio how Baltimore was the favorite to win the North but seeing how they lost to Cleveland and watching how good the Steelers played against the Bengals, the Steelers should be everybodys favorite to win the North. Why is it after every time they win a game they believe they are going to the SB yet right after they lose a game they want to fire everybody. I fucking hate that entire fan base, my gf and her parents are Steeler fans so ya fuck them to (During football season) But they are not like most fans but they are still blind to the fact the NFL hates Cleveland

          I don't know a single steeler fan that thinks we are going to the super bowl but it's also stupidly naive of you to believe the steelers can't win the division. Despite what some of you believe the roster is full of talent. Tuitt and watt have been unstoppable. Bush is all over the field and fitzpatrick/Nelson have been tremendous. Haden steady as usual. It's been about finding an identity on both sides of the ball. They started doing that against the Bengals. Rudolph is fearless in the pocket and showed a good bit too. 

          You can count out the steelers tho, if YOU want. I live in Columbus right now and don't find myself whining about any of the Ohio teams. Get thicker skin.

            They actually have a big radio network 42 outlets which is bigger than the Browns network and yes one in Massillon.

              Blah Blah blah blah and blah. I listen to ESPN Pittsburgh and I hear the shit you Faggot fans call in and say. Just because you don't know any does not mean they don't exist. I am guessing you don't know very many because why else would you be on another team message board? But listen to Steeler fans go nuts after 1 game and celebrate is as bout as dumb as Browns fans thinking the problems are fixed after 1 game. You play the Ratbirds next week, as we play San Fran Sicko take the shit 1 game at a time.

                I would not have pinned *you* as a lover of a Steelers fan, given my interactions with you. Would you love me too?

                I'm just messing with you 😉

                I didn't actually get to watch this game, I had a lot of work to catch up on.  I can't really comment on anything about the game. But I did read through this thread, and I have to say that the Steelers still do have talent on the team. Do I think they'll win the Super Bowl. No.... I don't even think they'll take the division this year. But I wouldn't count them out either. The defense isn't top notch like it once was, but it's enough to cause some disruption. But the offense isn't going to go anywhere unless someone from the top starts telling Rudolph to quit being safe and take some shots. He has neither the accuracy nor pure arm strength of Ben, but playing the 'safe' playbook isn't going to win enough games to beat the Ravens or Browns this year.

                    Not sure what you mean...  here's the pertinent stuff from Wiki....

                    "WLW is Class A clear-channel station operating with 50,000 watts of power, the maximum allowed for AM stations under current Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. During daytime hours it can be heard in a four state region, with city-grade strength as far north as Columbus, as far west as the Indianapolis suburbs, and as far south as Richmond, Kentucky. It provides at least secondary coverage to most of Ohio and Indiana, and much of northern and central Kentucky. At night WLW can be heard across much of the eastern half of North America.

                    WLW's programming is available online via iHeartRadio"

                      Ehhh.... I'd say the Browns just have talent in different places. Those places just happen to mean a bit more in terms of success on the field. And talent that is lacking in the areas that need attention will probably be more easily filled by the Browns.

                        ??? If you looked at the link in my original post, no Bungles affiliate currently available in Massillon. It happens. Dayton sadly got dropped from the Browns network last year, but another station is broadcasting the games now.  According to the Bengals website, the closest broadcast cities to the Akron-Canton area are in Mount Vernon and Marion.

I fucking hate that entire fan base, my gf and her parents are Steeler fans so ya fuck them to (During football season) But they are not like most fans but they are still blind to the fact the NFL hates Cleveland 

                          I would not have pinned *you* as a lover of a Steelers fan, given my interactions with you. Would you love me too?

                          I'm just messing with you 😉

                          I didn't actually get to watch this game, I had a lot of work to catch up on.  I can't really comment on anything about the game. But I did read through this thread, and I have to say that the Steelers still do have talent on the team. Do I think they'll win the Super Bowl. No.... I don't even think they'll take the division this year. But I wouldn't count them out either. The defense isn't top notch like it once was, but it's enough to cause some disruption. But the offense isn't going to go anywhere unless someone from the top starts telling Rudolph to quit being safe and take some shots. He has neither the accuracy nor pure arm strength of Ben, but playing the 'safe' playbook isn't going to win enough games to beat the Ravens or Browns this year.

                          Unlike Vag our resident Steeler Homer who thinks 6 guys on Pittsburgh's defense are Pro Bowl locks, you seem to be more reasonable in your assessment of their talent.  Sure, the front seven abused a very suspect Bengals o-line- but I'll reserve judgement on how good they really are until after they play the Ravens. And speaking of playoffs- should the Steelers lose the next two- (very possible) to the Ravens and Chargers, the odds of Pittsburgh getting to the post season are mighty long.  

                          What I saw of Rudolph- and I watched every play of the game, is he benefited immensely thanks to the Steelers great o-line. Nothing helps a QB who's lacking game experience more than a bulletproof pocket with plenty of time to set up and throw.

                            The Ravens still have a decent OL which won't be abused so easily. Luckily for us Steelers fans, Jackson really doesn't seem to be the best pocket passer, and shouldn't be too much of a threat given he will be facing a tougher secondary. True though, the odds of Pitt making the postseason are long. But the season is young, and none of us know what the future holds.

                            Most QBs benefit from not being touched. Roethlisberger stands out as an anomaly in that category, he just has some weird knack for making things happen with linebackers hanging off his shoulders. Rudolph is no Big Ben.... he needs that OL to not let anything through.

                            Mayfield also is no Big Ben. But we've seen what he can do with a little time to look down field and find the WR talent he's been offered. Who has Dorsey in their contacts list? Someone make the call and tell him to get a decent LT!

                              Yeah, we know both tackles are suspect. We got spoiled having one of the all-time greats in Joe Thomas there for years.... there was some chatter about mortgaging the future to pick up a top LT. (Was against  it) BTW, unlike Vag- that's exactly what us Browns fans think the Steelers did giving up a first for Minkah Fitzpatrick. If you don't make the playoffs this year- it was a bad trade. 

                              Ben may say he's coming back next year- but you have to think at his age, his body is starting to break down.

                                I don't think mortgaging the future is necessary. A top LT would be nice, but a decent one would suffice for now. One extra second of protection could make all the difference in the world.

                                The Fitzpatrick deal was made under the assumption that the offense would be secure, and that the defense needed to get back to their former glory. Neither of which happened. So probably a bad deal even if the Steelers do make the playoffs.

                                Ben is getting old, tired, and really no longer has his heart in the game. He has taken more abuse in his career than most would take in two. Even if he does come back next year, his heart wont be in the game. I don't think we'll ever see the same Ben again. It is what it is. That first in 2020 would have been really nice for a prime QB, don't you think?

                                    I'm not taking them lightly. The browns are in a fragile position where they cant take anyone lightly yet. However the chiefs and Patriots and teams that are proven good can easily afford to take Pittsburgh lightly. Because they're not good. The Ravens are a better football team than them. 

                                    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                                        I take offense at grayhairs. I have you know when I was dove hunting with 13 of my old college buddies I was the only one there who did NOT have totally gray or silver hair. It's the genes from my mom who went gray in her late 70s-early 80s.  The rest I can buy. LOL!?

                                        EDIT: BTW if I had that half naked gal from your avatar around, you can bet they'd be calling me Crisco Kid too.?

                                          I don't know a single steeler fan that thinks we are going to the super bowl but it's also stupidly naive of you to believe the steelers can't win the division. Despite what some of you believe the roster is full of talent. Tuitt and watt have been unstoppable. Bush is all over the field and fitzpatrick/Nelson have been tremendous. Haden steady as usual. It's been about finding an identity on both sides of the ball. They started doing that against the Bengals. Rudolph is fearless in the pocket and showed a good bit too. 

                                          You can count out the steelers tho, if YOU want. I live in Columbus right now and don't find myself whining about any of the Ohio teams. Get thicker skin.

                                          No one is counting them out. We’re just saying that the Browns have more talent in more places and should win this division. Everyone knows that.
