"first grade students were crying when Ben was hurt"


Good god, you people need to get a grip and get a life.

And why would we want that?

Despite the blue font, it's obvious that you haven't yet.

Hey, when they lose, I don't sit like a lump on the couch, get drunk or beat my family.

It sucks, but life goes on for me.

I do not own any Steeler gear over $30, I do not spend $250 for tickets to see them play.

I think I am pretty centered in rooting. I guess you just have to take my word on that.

Sounds like Norv is working his magic in the locker room ...

Despite having defeated the defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts – their first victory of the 2007 season over a team with a winning record, and one that moved them into sole possession of first place in the AFC West – San Diego's players reacted like a bunch of biologists who had just received an award for proving that humans need air to survive.

Then, as few others can, Chargers coach Norv Turner sucked the remaining air out of the locker room, telling his players, and I paraphrase: This could be the game that gives us the momentum we need to do something special. Even though we did a lot of things wrong, we still found a way to win, and we can build on that.

Just like that, the Chargers were on a roll – specifically, the eye-rolls that many players felt like giving during Turner's speech.

That post made me squeamish.

As cool as the Tecmo Bowl clip is, someone finally uploaded the real-life version (still with the classic radio call though ;D ):

Once the Youtube mods catch wind of that, it's gone, but it's fun to watch while it lasts.

You know, I thought this might be a breakout year for The Invisible Hand. Turns out he sucks at life and probably will never have a breakout year.

Who is The Invisible Hand?

Alex Smith. Get it? The economist dude who believed in the invisible hand of the market. Actually stole that one from my wife.

Wow, when did the Notre Dame offense replace San Francisco?

 

[outofplace]

Hmm...wonder where that was directed.

The guy's a fraud, but can't say I'm surprised that you'd jump to his defense, BYH.

Actually, I thought the picture was pretty funny, too.

Seriously Junkie, do you think the motorcycle jokes bother anybody? I don't know very many Steelers fans who did anything but rip Roethlisberger for risking his health like that, not just riding but doing it without a helmet. I know I posted on here about that at the time, at least once we had more information on his condition.

Here we go again.

1.) Are you the only Steelers fan here blasting Junkie for his Roethlisberger comments? Are you the only SJ poster to ever make fun of him for being "forever a newbie?" No? Then that comment wasn't directed at just poor picked on outofplace.

2.) I'd stack Junkie's creds up against yours any day of the week. Oh wait, but you're not calling him a FRAUD at life or in the profession, just on this topic, right? Just like you never called me a liar as a writer? My point remains: I'd stack Junkie's creds up against yours any day of the week.

3.) Junkie's a big boy. He doesn't need anyone jumping to his defense. Though as a friend of his (he's the Clarence to my Jackson, we're just trying to find our Daryl) I'd be glad to do so. Perhaps I don't want you to make the same mistake I made, which was to swap mother****ers with the guy over closers in 2003. Hey do do do you like foreigner too?

4.) If the photo doesn't bother you, then why are you mentioning it? It's like everything else with you. You say it doesn't bother you...BUT you just HAVE to mention it and attempt to disprove it or prove that others are wrong, all the while mentioning it doesn't bother you. Guess what? If it didn't bother you, you'd ignore it. If whatever you were trying to disprove was that wrong, you'd let it fall on its own merits.

5.) Why are YOU always the one who feels it necessary to "set people straight?" Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the reason YOU need to "set people straight" is because YOU are the crooked one? no, outofplace, I am not calling you a criminal. But there's a remarkable trend over the last couple months of tiffs involving you, and the one constant is...you. All over the place. It was probably easy to rationalize the fantasy league thing as just a bunch of meanies picking on you b/c you're not in their league. But it's happening...all over the place, with posters new and old, visitors frequent and infrequent, those who have you on blast and those who don't even know the button exists. Maybe YOU should think about why YOU'RE involved in all these little dustups.

I am sure the self-satisfied reply and subsequent is coming. Have fun.

Actually, I think the more interesting trend is you ranting about me so often. But hey, at least this time you spared us all the profanity. I wonder why I might take a comment by you personally. I really can't imagine why. : But I was the only one making fun of Junkie deleting his own posts all the time on this thread, at least that I can remember, so I felt pretty safe assuming where that bull**** was going.

And I pretty much see Junkie as a fraud in all of his posts on this site. I have no idea what he is like off the board. Don't care, nor do I care what your opinion of him is. Why should I? I deal with him and you as posters on this site. That's all (lucky for me).

I never did call you a liar as a writer in your job. I said I hope you don't make things up in your work like you do on here. There is a difference, but apparently you still haven't improved your reading comprehension enough to get it. Let me try to get th is through to you. I do not know anything about you as a professional. I only know what you post here, which I often find to be bull****.

And I mentioned the photo for two reasons. One, I thought it was funny. And two, Junkie keeps trying to jerk the chain of Steelers fans on the board about the accident as if we are incapable of seeing how stupid it was for Roethlisberger to do that.

And I like setting things right. Something in me likes speaking the truth. Try it some time .... ON THIS SITE. Let's make that clear. Right now I am talking about how you post on this website. I am not talking about you as a journalist. There, can we avoid you getting your panties bunched up between your legs over that one?

And as for the little tiffs? Pot, please meet kettle. Thank you.

WTF? San Fran @ Seattle on MNF and we end up w/a montage of Cleveland sports misery??

**** YOU, ABC!!!

 

[Firstime Caller]

Wow, when did the Notre Dame offense replace San Francisco?

Ok, I could sort of understand going for it on fourth-and-inches from the 1. It's debatable, but I could understand it. But WHY did they just go for it there instead of trying the field goal??

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Wow, MNF has really fixed the problem of crappy games.

Oh, wait:

Seattle 24, San Fran 0
Pittsburgh 38, Baltimore 7
Indy 29, Jax 7
G-men 31, Atlanta 10
Pats 34, Bengals 13
Titans 31, Saints 14

Nope, guess not!

 

[Trouser_Buddah]

I know no one cares about my fantasy team, but I desperately need 1.1 more points from Hackett, V. Davis or the Seattle defense in the final six minutes...

Not bad for $1 billion a year, huh, ESPN?

The economist is Adam Smith, not Alex.

But ... but ... Drew Caray raised Seattle's 12th man flag! My friend ... there's no amount of money that can't be spent to televise that seminal moment.

By the way, I thought Drew Caray was a Cleveland guy? As if Browns fans didn't have a pitiful enough existence, now they have to watch their most famous fat fan go all brown bunny on the Seahawks. Next thing you know, LeBron James will be wearing a Yankee cap ...
