<![CDATA[Tackling Big Gay Ben]]>IMHO we have lost some games because of the inability to tackle Ben R. To his credit Ben is a big guy who doesn't go down easy, he isn't playing touch football. The question is what will the league consider a penalty when tackling him and what will be considered legal.

I think it is a mistake to try and tackle him high, especially from behind, I think you need to aim for his waistline instead of his shoulders. You also cannot hit him and expect him to drop, you need to keep pushing until he is on the ground. But, will the refs allow us to do this?

Any thoughts?

Pittsburgh might be our rival, but we are not their rival any more.

Big Hetrosexual Anderson - and Ladies Man Brady, 0 Super Bowls

Big Gay Ben - 2 Super Bowls.

By the way ... Nothing really points in concrete , to Brady being a "Ladies" man. I have seen way too many pictures of that dude Shirtless with his "Boys". So... Ya Never Know.

I didn't use the word 'gay' when I posted this, evidently it must be an automatic thing the board does when someone types in Big Gay Ben

It does happen when you type in Ben Big in reverse, definitely funny

You guys are so Retarded !! LOL...

Well how would you feel being a homosexual Brown's fan for life and being compared to a Steeler? Not to mention that I dealt with that crap far too often in HS and college. I won't apologize for being offended by my lifestyle being reduced to a mean spirited label, not anymore

sounds like a personal problem, maybe you should seek professional help. I here Big Gay Ben has a good understanding of how you feel it.

I'm a little late getting to this reply but I just thought I'd let you know that you're a internet pussy.

I could not care less if you are gay or straight. Regardless, your response was an over reaction. Have a sense of humor and stop feeling sorry for yourself..

If I got called "Pussy" I would laugh and think...."Wow, what a compliment, they are calling me the greatest thing God ever created!"

😁 if someone called me a dick I'd say, "cool, second best thing created"

Homosexuals are more than welcome on this board, but never, never, never talk about soccer.

Closing this thread and moving on to the next one wouldn't have required any apologies. Probably would've been easier. That label you referred to gets thrown around on the board quite a bit.

Did you really just today decide it's time to be offended? Maybe you should checkout the cheerleader thread. 🙂

Big Ben does have a hell of a talent for keeping a play going.

Lotsa sacks though. At least 40 three years in a row.

Maybe the browns can add to the sack total with the new faces that have been added on defense.

the clowns have no sack to offer! 😆

You just follow his guideline except with a little more enthusiasm. I think the whole defense should be shown this video and told that "this is the way we tackle Big Gay Ben".
