Week 9 NFL Running Thread: It was good while it lasted but the Steelers are back

Just really wanted to say how much I enjoyed a Steeler-free weekend and to zing our plentiful Pittsburgh fanbois. At least we don't have to put up with you fuckers until Monday night.

Real interested to see how the Dolphins fare against the Patriots and if Eagles-Cowboys eventually decides the NFC East now that the Giants are once again circling the drain. Also, this is a bye bestowed upon us by the football Tebows: Buffalo, Cleveland, Oakland and St. Louis are all off. Maybe they'll do us all a favor and never come back.

 

What makes you think that?

 

I can hope, can't I?

 

Well, yeah, you CAN.....doesn't mean it'll do any good.

 

Of course you can. It is a delusional hope, but you hang on to that if it makes you feel better.

(By the way. I love the thread title. It gives me an idea. )

 

Picking up where we left off in the Week 8 thread in regards to the the "As the Browns Turn" soap opera, there are reports that Kokinis was fired "with cause," meaning the Browns wouldn't have to pay the rest of his contract. So did Kokinis do something really wrong here, or are the Browns just looking for a way to avoid having to pay Phil Savage, Romeo Crennel AND Kokinis to not work for the team?

 

Don't know if this was posted on the last thread, but the PD is reporting that Accorsi is not taking the GM job in Cleveland.

I continue to be amazed by the amount of people on here who are clearly more bothered by Steelers fans discussing football than we Steelers fans are of them taking cheap and worthless shots at us. Let it go, brothers, let it go.

 

Perhaps in lieu of a politics board we could get a Steelers board?

 

I really did enjoy a week without comments like:

"The Steelers are 5-2." And other things I will never care about.

 

The Steelers are 5-2

Oh, if it were just that....
