You can defend the douche all you want but the bottom line is always the same. HE IS A COCKROACH.
Sure thing big timer. A "Cockroach" you'd love to have on your team. If one of your receivers was blowing up DB's and LB's you sing his praises from now until early in the morning. However because he's part of the opposition people have nothing but negative sh.it to say. It's amusing. I will give you that much.
And consider these further names who could be in line for HOF induction over HW or who are contemporaries that may get equal HOF consideration:Andre Reed
Rod Smith
Tony Gonzales
Joey Galloway
Shannon Sharpe
Irving Fryar
Art Powell
Laverneus Coles
Derrick Mason
TJ Houshmanzadeh
If you took all the people in these two posts how would you rate them for consideration for HOF induction?
Thanks for the laugh. I've stayed away from the Browns board as of late but this brought me out of my vacation. Joey Galloway, Coles, Mason, TJ? and then you have Mushin, Eric Moulds etc on the first list over Hines? Laughable. Yea I get it you hate the Steelers but look at the numbers, the rings, the accolades and Hines being a primary face of the STeelers, not to mention the best blocking WR in the NFL currently and maybe ever. Additionally the "dirtiest player award" is also amusing and he himself thinks it's amusing. He's a WR fellas, beating up on LB's, DB's whatever and he's catching heat for being dirty. Every team in the NFL would love to have Hines Ward or a player like him. The peer voting is also a bunch of sour grapes. Get over it. Hines Ward is a future hall of famer without a doubt and will certainly get in before guys like the ones I listed in my post....oh and I forgot Chad Johnson lol. Yea solid receivers but in before Ward? lol.
Thanks for the laugh Gip.
Pitt is really going to miss larry foote...timmons not worth a damn atleast in the first Qtr.
I've been keeping my mouth shut but I had to respond to this comment and the thread in general. FIrst off the preseaon game was played on a Thursday, there is a ungodly amount of construction downtown because of road work and preparing for the G20 summit in September. The Casino just opened as well so traffic patterns are a damn nightmare. I wasn't really paying attention to the stands but it seemed like a good number of people showed up for a PRESEASON GAME. As far as Timmons is concerned the comment above is asinine. Timmons is going to be a monster this year. Look what he did last year in limited time on the field. He closes as fast as Polamalu in the open field, hits heavy and has good instincts. Yes the Steeler fans are going to miss Larry because he was a great steeler but from a on the field perspective Larry was going to be on the bench this year anyway. Why do you think he essentially forced a release/trade etc?
I get it everyone here hates the Steelers just like I hate the Browns but at least make some sense. There are a few Retards around here but I know for a fact there are plenty of knowledgeable individuals here. You may want to make it seem that way.
EDIT: ANd the last i checked our preseason game wasn't blacked out, like yours is about to be....so much for people not buying tickets and showing up for the game on thursday.

I don't think of this as a public board. I think of it as a club. But that's just me.It's privately run and the mods exercise their right to evict or deny entrance, which is great. I've been on "open" boards and they're kind of a drag.
Some opposing fans come in and contribute. They're interesting. Most are inbreds who say the same thing as the last 19 inbreds in the door. They mistake crass or blandly insulting for provocative. It isn't. I would rather they get bounced but I don't are all that much.
I frankly think of Lums as a troll. He isn't really a Browns fan and he's pretty much a dick with almost nothing interesting to say ever. I have no idea what he brings to the board.
But in the end, it doesn't really matter. I just breeze through his posts and move on.
"Haters gonna hate"
I read daily but haven't posted lately, nothing juicy worth posting about. However I don't consider myself a troll even though I'm certain a percentage of the membership lumps me under that category.
sorry i just cant stop doing that
lol
I want the Cavs to draft Sam Young and not because he's a Panther and I'm from Pittsburgh. He's exactly the kind of scorer the Cavs need. I'd be so stoked if the Cavs get a shot to draft him.
If we really have an automatic gay added in to typing roethlisberger's nickname, the mods ought to be ashamed. We can be grown up about a rivalry w/o acting like jr high kids. I'm out for good and heading for a message board that isn't operated and frequented by childish fans...Looking at you Inspecta and Riffer
It's definitely inserted.
That is like saying my kids only drank a couple tablespoons of bleach and just puked all night. He didn't die, but boy did he puke a lot.Blame the deed, that is the issue, Harrison should be punished. I agree with you don't blame the breed.
My point is, it doesn't take much to come away with some stitches and for all any of us know the 2 year old could have hurt/scared the dog in some fashion and the dog reacted in a certain manner. I know most dogs are pretty scared of little kids unless they were socialized with little kids at a young age. AND it just so happens part of being a responsible pet owner is socializing your pets with young children from a early age. Tough situation for sure and I'm a harrison fan but can't begin to tell you how he is as a dog owner from the sound of this obviously not a great one.
Yeah, we wouldn't want to stereotype or anything, would we.Let's see. If you have an animal that can't be let out by other family members...you have a dangerous animal. You can stop trying to defend him and his dog any further.
Let me help you out a little bit here. From the article:
Gosh...that doesn't sound like a simple bite because he was hurt while the kid was playing with him. I've seen dogs bite when they were scared or injured by rough play. Usually, they don't even bite humans - just yelp.
3 stitches? Do you realize how MINIMAL 3 stitches is? Have you ever had stitches? It doesn't take much for a large canine tooth to pierce, lacerate or damage the skin. The gf that was over was the one that wrongfully called the police on Harrison several times over the last 5 years. Her idiocy has been documented on more than one occasion in the local Pittsburgh papers. It wasn't a stereotype but rather statistical and documented fact that she has a screw loose. Now back to the stitches..I recently rubbed up on old wooden fence a few months ago and got caught by a fairly large splinter. I barely grazed the thing and came away with 4 stitches and the cut was less than a inch long. If the article involved a Cleveland Brown and a Pit Bull I'd be making the same argument FOR the player in question because I LOVE the breed and understand that ill behaved dogs are a direct result of negligent owners. Blame the deed, not the breed. PERIOD.

Pittbulls arent the problem, its these dumbass people who have no idea how to train a dog that is the problem.
Thank you. I was so pleasantly surprised to read this here and wish more people carried that view point. I got my first pit bull when I was 7 years old. I'll be 27 in September. Rocky my first lived to be 17 and was the best dog I've ever owned. My parents currently have two a 11 year old female Adrian and a 2 year old male Conan (Conan O'Brien, he's a red nose) One of the most well mannered and rewarding dogs anyone could ever own and it's so amazingly unfortunate they carry such a B.s Stereotype because of the thug culture that often attaches itself to the breed. Based on what I've read about the Harrison situation, he himself wasn't home and his ex-wife or ex-gf was over with his son and let the dog out of the kennel.
Now you take a idiot broad, she is an idiot. It's been documented a few times in the Pittsburgh media and a dog she isn't around often and add a two year old to the mix. A two year old around ANY DOG without on the point adult supervision is a recipe for disaster no matter the breed. The kid could have poked the dog in the eye, hit the dog with something messing around whatever and it certainly doesn't take much for a dog to break the skin of a two year old kid. It's unfortunate but you really can't blame the dog. I know my skin has been broken 100% by accident by a few of my dogs when playing in a spirited fashion etc. I went home this past week to scout the job market (I'm planning to move back to Pittsburgh even though I LOVE Columbus) and I had my 11mo old Doberman, my rescued Chocolate lab who showed up 25 pounds underweight this past thanks giving to my front door, my families two pit bulls and a 1.5 year old Boston Terrier WITHOUT issue. It's 100% the deed and not the breed. Great, GREAT dogs.
EDIT: A few people went on the record defending Harrison's dog saying he's a big softy as well. It doesn't take much for a little 2 year old to get hurt by a dog. If the dog really wanted to inflict some serious damage Harrison's kid would be pretty banged up. Little kids grab, pull, poke kick and generally SCARE THE SH.it out of dogs until they are fully used to the kid at least.
Dumb agreed. However who the xxxx cares? I sure as hell don't because the rest of the team is going and we're wearing a sixth super bowl ring. If it's on PTI it's a 30 second snip where they will both say "WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING" and move on just like the Pittsburgh fan base. I didn't post after initially reading this the day it was posted because I had hoped it would just die. It obviously didn't and that's fine but it's also why I'm posting now. In more important news the salary cap was increased and the Steelers and the rest of the NFL should be able to resign their important veterans and aspiring rookies sooner than later.
Steelers > *
🥷
I'm not at all in to Star Trek but the movie looks kick a$$ and it's getting great reviews. My gf just called me from work and said her mom and bro want to check it out and asked if we want to go so I guess I'll be seeing it tonight.

Sorry Bud, your posts are too disrespectful to Browns fans.Maybe Inspecta and T will let you in their ESPN league.

--and if they do, I hope you get your ass kicked.
lol that's fine. I guess constantly referring to me as a inbred hillbilly is A-okay. Give me a break, I didn't realize so many were so thin skinned.

If you watch this video from inside the Patriots' war room, you hear Belichick talking about the Steelers trying to trade up to #23.The Steelers could have been trying to trade up for Oher, but Wood's also a distinct possibility. The Falcons brought Wood in for a pre-draft visit, so the Steelers may have been trying to move up ahead of Atlanta to get their guy.
I so BADLY wanted Oher especially after reading "The Blind Side" now I'll be almost forced to sorta pull for him as a Rat Bird. Thanks for the info though and it was definitely Oher or Wood IMO.
I think he's going to command more money than he's worth on the open market. The last I read there were 4 or 5 teams interested in him so I guess we'll find out. I don't think he'll be worth it but if he's not going to command more cash than he's worth he's definitely someone any team in need should check out. I'd take him for depth but I don't think he's looking for "depth" kind of money.
Yahoo's site is way better, structure , layout, we are creatures of habit don't let the darkside (ESPN)take you in.The fact that there is divisions makes it not feel that you are competing on an even keel. I want to play as many opponents as possible.
Pro-yahoo for fantasy.
Don't do it Zombo!
I agree and I was being serious in my deleted post. It would be fun to play fantasy football with a few guys from the board. I love me some Fantasy football and it will make for better competition. If you guys need someone seriously let me know. Seriously.
@inspecta said:
Actually closer to time of fantasy football I was going to start a thread.I definitely think we should use ESPN this year, it like yahoo is free, the big difference being that the live scoring is also free.
I could never get into my yahoo leagues cause I always had to wait till monday to see how my team did. It's much more fun watching the scores change throughout the afternoon as players scored more points.
or you could just shell out the little bit of coin for stat tracker. I've always done Yahoo but did ESPN for the first time in one of my leagues this past season and I hated it. I'm so used to the yahoo interface that more than a few features ESPN offered drove me insane. I personally will stick with yahoo and pay a lil extra for stat tracker which is actually a really nice interface. If I were you I'd do the same.
Another trade rumor bust. Ill take Urlacher please.
Urlacher? really? Yes Urlacher is still regarded as one of the best in the game. However he's also getting up there in age and Edwards has yet to hit his prime. I was raked over the coals for questioning a percentage of this fan base recently but I feel like some of you fire up Madden check overalls and then start proposing trades. The trade involving Anderson and the recently drafted Williams is the best trade for the Browns because it would really firm up the offensive line and Anderson is a strong talent. I think that trade also included a 2nd and a fifth so I'd definitely sign up for that one ESPECIALLY when you consider Williams was just a first round draft choice. (He does have a bit of a injury history though)
You don't want Urlacher or any aging defensive signal caller for that matter, at least not in my opinion.
There will always be a certain faction of intelligent fandom in whatever fan base you refer to, but there will never be the percentage of Pure D dumbassage that your fans exhibit on a daily basis.
Says the guy from Akron. I'm just saying you may run in to the Retarded Steeler fans in the Akron/Kent area but those fans don't exist in a large percentage in the city of Pittsburgh. It's kind of stupid to base an opinion off a fan base outside of it's teams state no?

Dude I would love to suit up one more time and take on a steeler fan.I just got wood thinking about it....
