Why so much hate for the Steelers? Hypo
*************************************************
It goes way back to cheapshotting by pittspukeburg. Mean Joe Greene days even. I think Greene stomped on one of our olinemen's head or something.
Later years, it wsa hines ward blind side cheap shots - and harrison's and von what's his name taking out of qb's knees....
There is a freakin difference between just plain taking out the qb's knee (cincy) in a playoff game,
cheapshotting HISTORICALLY to win, getting away with oline HOLDING in Pittspukeburg most of the time,
while it IS called on the other team, constant blind side hits by ward,
and self defense.
Paybacks are justified. Pittspukeburg, and the squeelers reek of history, exactly as Mr. Hoorta said.
You also forgot the 2005 Christmas Eve massacre when that bastard James Harrison slammed one of you to the turf.
Maybe it was you?...you do sound awfully bitter LOL!
A player of a bitter "rival" slamming a Clown fan to the turf was priceless!
But nice try. Those were merely convenient excuses to hide the true reason you hate the Steelers.
What if the Steelers never did those 'naughty' things?...be honest dude, you'd still hate them.
Browns fans hate of the Steelers started way before Ward, Kimo, Harrison ect. It started after Modell convinced Rooney to join the AFC Central. Modells thinking was that cleveland would own the division by racking up easy wins over a hapless Pittsburgh team and the others. Instead, his evil plan backfired, and it was the Steelers that started winning Super Bowls instead of "gods gift to football", the supposed "big boys on the block" Cleveland Clowns... er Browns...(I will be civil and call them by their correct name going forward, don't want to sound as ignorant and hateful as browns fans).
You hate them because the Steelers are what you want sooo bad for your Browns to be... the model NFL franchise.
You hate them because after a dismal first 40yrs, they have become the winningest franchise since the formation of the league in 1970.
You hate them because they have owned your Browns since for the last 20 or so years, and have the all time record against them.
You hate them because they knocked your Browns out of the playoffs twice.
You hate them because they have had only 3 head coaches since 1970...and you're still looking for one LOL!
You hate them because they won 6 Lombardies, while your Browns are one of only four teams to have never even made a SB appearance.
You hate them because they are of the elite, while the Clowns remain the NFL's laughingstock.
Could go on and on.
But look on the bright side..you still have the slamming of Terry Bradshaw to the turf by some buffoon named Turkey back in the 70's to hang your hat on!
Continue having fun with that!
