Top 5 NFL Players I'd like to punch in the face

Okay, so I am bored. Its Varsity semester break, the NFL off season is slow and boring at best, and I am in dire need of a laugh.
So here it is, the top 5 NFL players who I would love to punch in the face. It sounds stink I know, but its hard to like some players out there, and if I were lucky enough to find these guys in a dark alley.....alone....tied up....restrained or unconscious, I would definitely take a swing : )
NUMBER 5: ANTHONY SMITH, FS, formerly of Pittsburgh Steelers
The picture make him look like he is thinking. Too bad he never tried using his head in game time, the locker room, in press conferences or on the practice field. Anthony Smith showed how the negatives of not having a brain outweigh the positives of a very talented athlete. This guy was just a thug, and had no sense of team comraderie. He often absolutely lit up our receivers in practice time, and we all know about his guarantee to beat the undefeated Patriots in the season before last. Too bad he forgot that the Patriots that year were a PASS FIRST team, yet he still felt the need to bite on play action all day long. I never ever want to see this guy anywhere near the Pittsburgh Steelers again, so long as good riddance.
NUMBER 4: PEYTON MANNING, QB of INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Before I begin, P.Manning is already a first ballot lock for Hall of Fame honors, and he deserves that thoroughly. One of the smartest and most technically sound Quarterbacks to ever play the game. I have respect for his skill, and the time he takes to study the game and make sure he is as ready as possible come gametime. However the reason he makes my list is this. I get sick of this guys flapping arms, pointing, stepping, shouting during pre snap. Just hike the damn ball! I swear to god every time I see this guy use up the entire play clock waving his arms about like hes directing rush hour traffic, just to see him hand the ball off for a measely couple yard gain, it drives me insane! And to make matters worse, the people at EA Sports orchestrate that into the Madden game! I cant get rid of it! Im sorry Peyton, but if I met you in a dark alley....I would have to hit you in the face.
NUMBER 3: LENDALE WHITE, RB of TENNESSEE TITANS
Surprisingly, only one of the trash talking, towel stomping Tennessee Titans makes my top 5 list, but Lendale earns his spot by being a Running Back, who weighs enough to warrant competing for a starting offensive line job. "Smash" is a cocky player, who actually really doesnt have all that talent, apart from nearly being able to handle Casey Hamptons diet plan. One of the instigators of the infamous towel stomping incident when the Titans hosted the Steelers last year, I cannot wait for this guy to put his money where his mouth is when they come to our house. Hopefully at least a few of the defensive players will do me a favor and smack this guy right in the mouth for me.
NUMBER TWO: SHAWNE MERRIMAN, OLB of SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
Merriman may be a surprising inclusion in my top 5 to some. Whether its the fact that he plays for one of my least favourite teams, who every single damn year the media talks them up so high they could have breakfast on a cloud, or the fact he is a cheater who got caught using steroids that helped him get 17 sacks in 12 games, or the fact he introduced that stupid "Lightning bolt" dance after he makes a sack, or the fact the Brooks on NFL.com had the nerve to put this guy in his top 5 edge rushers and exclude James Harrison, I just flat out hate this guy. I had a smile on my face for a long time when Chad Ochocinco mocked his dance in a game a couple seasons back. Merriman will never be elite in my book due to the fact he got caught cheating. I cant wait to see how much he will fail this year. If you werent such a big, nasty, scary looking guy, Id put one right on your jaw.
NUMBER ONE: TOM BRADY, QB of NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
This shouldnt be a surprise at all. Tommy can ball no doubt, but I just cant stand him. The arrogance he showed when he laughed at predictions that the Giants could hold the Patriots under 17 points in the Superbowl year before last, the fact he was part of a team caught cheating, which overshadows his record season in my opinion, and the fact that he has a gorgeous girlfriend, I just dont like him. The way the media constantly shove this guy everywhere possible, the golden boy etc urgh someone give me a bag so i can chunder in it. Tom Brady, I cant stand you, youre a great QB, a future Hall of Famer, but if i see you shirtless in one more mens magazine promoting a shitty smelling fragrance, Im gonna hunt you down and sock you one
:D
Ive had my rant. Feel free to add your top 5 below, and vote on my poll.
I got a more serious piece of writing in the making, just cant be bothered right now, lacking motivation and all.

How about....
Terrell “I was born with big gums” Suggs.
Or Jeremy Shockey.

GREAT Topic. Haha
Let me do my top 5…
5. Michael Vick.
I hate everything about Michael Vick from the minute he entered the NFL. He is a thug and a jackass, who IMHO is not a talent at QB. I am a dog owner, so the whole dog fighting ring only fueled my fire that is a hate for Vick. He dropped on this list, probably because he currently is not on an NFL team.
4. Terrell Suggs
He plays for the Ravens. That is reason enough, but his constant whining about a WR who weights 50 some pounds less than him makes him look like the biggest pussy in the NFL. Cry a me a river.
3. T.O.
He drops a bit too, after he looked like a scared bitch after that tiny little super model put him in his place. However, he is still on the list for being one of the biggest cry babies in the league. I hope he fails in Buffalo and the Bills go no where and we can all forget about him and then I can get to punch him in the face. Actually, he probably just deserves a good bitch slap.
2. All the Titans involved in the Towel Stomping
I could not pick out just one, so I went with the whole lot. Line up assholes, here comes some knuckle sandwiches.
1. Obviously Tom Brady
For all the reasons you listed, I suppose. Except I would more emphasis his cockiness. I cannot fucking stand that. That interview where they asked (before the Giants game) if he would have a good game and he responded “Come on. I’m Tom Brady”. I would have paid a year’s salary to sock him right in his butt hole chin right then.

The great thing about Tom Brady though was he went on to allow one of the biggest upsets ever in a superbowl.

Yes
I’m not sure that was the exact question (it was something like that), but that was the answer. I used to have the youtube link. Let me look for it. Yeah the link I had is dead and I cannot find the video. The only one I found was him laughing at the idea of only scoring 17 points. Whoops!

Makes you wanna throw up a little in your mouth doesn’t it. Oh well, if the Patsies wanna fly high on everyone’s radar, I say let ’em. Just allows the Steelers to quietly go about their business and motivate themselves even more.

True,
the stealers mostly wait until everybody that is good has a down year due to injuries or something, then they beat up on a few crap teams and pound their chests as how awesome they are. Funny stuff.

This is brilliant.
I don’t hate on Anthony Smith…he is what he is. T.O. as Johnny_S above states could easily replace him on my list. Every time I watch peyton yelling at Saturday I definitely want to punch him.
Honorable mentions would have to include Romo and KingLaserFace, and Plaxico needs a good punch from everyone.

Bottom 5
1) Murderin’ Ray; Ray Lewis gets away with murder and leads the defense on the Steelers biggest rival. Respect his game but can’t stand him on the field against the black & gold.
2) Ocho Stinko; Isn’t it hilarious how everyone says he can dance after a TD? Have we Steeler fans ever seen him dance save maybe once? He is hilarious on NFL Network though and has a future as a broadcaster.
3) TO; If he drops another sure 1st down or breaks into tears again I think I’m gonna puke.
4) Mike Vick; I’m with Johnny. I own 2 Akita and think Vick should be locked in a room with a dozen hungry and angry pits. Hope they let him back in the NFL so Deebo can sack him.
5) Junior Seau; Even though he is retired it was recently so I included him. Hated how he would stand over the pile, throw his fist in the air and get credited for the tackle by a San Diego sports writer.

Bottom 5 Steelers
Thanks for the cool post Steeler_ As long as we’re on the subject of players you want to hit here is my list of “least favorite Steelers of All Time”
1) Horse Face O’Donnell; The incredible shrinking QB. He shrunk in every big game he ever played for the Steelers. Even the 95 AFCCG against the Colts he tried to blow it by putting up a meager 13 points until Ernie Mills made a circus catch with about 3 minutes to go to set up the winning score by Bam. His performance in XXX was excruciatingly bad.
2) DeWayne Washington; Seemed we were always looking at his back as he was chasing down a receiver that caught a long pass on him. While to this day I believe he didn’t run into Nedney against Titans he shouldn’t have even been in the neighborhood.
3) Harvey Clayton; An undersized CB in the mid 80’s for Noll. He stood about 5’2 and regularly got beat long.
4) Chad Scott; An over sized CB in the the mid 90’s for Cowher. He stood about 6’2 and regularly got beat long.
5) Aaron Jones; An over rated DL in the mid 80’s under Noll. He was so slow and bad I think he’s still rushing the QB from a play in ’86.
Limas Sweed better learn to catch the ball this year and Mendenhall better hold onto the ball (and his shoulder) this year or they will make this list!

I never saw this guy play, but that is one of the funniest lines I’ve ever read.

+1 This is close to my list
Except Ocho would be numero uno!, and I’d put John Elway instead of Seau, and I’d add Brady instead of Ray lewis.

Great idea for a post...
I have a few, but the main one is Phillip Rivers. Runs his mouth all day, and when it comes down to it, hasn’t really done too much to back up his smack talk. Yes he’s had pretty good numbers, but isn’t this San Diego team supposedly a SuperBowl threat every year? They are certainly loaded talent wise, all three sides of the ball, and have the best two redzone options on one team in the league (LT and Gates), which in my opinion make Rivers look better than he is. But still legit success eludes him like Barry Sanders in open field. Keep talkin’ Phillip, some day you may actually back it up. But for me at least, I hope someday it gets you smacked up.

Barry Sanders > Phillip Rivers
By a long shot.

Goes without saying...
Simply an metaphor for how difficult it is to actually “catch” success.

I thought it was a clever reference.
Urban Ink: Out of all the quarterbacks you sacked in the playoffs, which gave you the most satisfaction?
Lamar Woodley: I’m going to say Philip Rivers. The first time I sacked him, I got up and did my little celebration. He started talking trash and saying, “Get back in the huddle” and woofin’. So I told myself that the next time he’d pay the price. The next time I got him, I took him on what I call the “rollercoaster.” He met the ground and I stood over him. When he got up he was a little woozy

I always felt bad for Barry
and I was sad when he retired earlier. And I ALWAYS hated the Emmit is better than Sanders talk. If you compare the supporting line for Dallas vs the Lions it makes what Barry do just absolutely silly. Emmit was running behind monsters who threw people out of the way. His holes were bigger than Brady’s butt hole chin. Barry made things happen.
Sorry I am on a tangent. Not trying to discredit Emmit though, he was good, just not as good as Barry.

He and Stan Van Gundy...
Went to the same coaching school. I don’t know if your an NBA fan or not, but if I had to hear him shriek “Nobody panic out there, we have to remain calm” (paraphrasing) while sounding as if he was literally on fire, but couldn’t stop drop and role because he was standing in a room with broken glass and gasoline all over the floor, I was gonna puke.

Excellent poast idea But I cant agree with your number one
Yes at times I do want to punch him in the face almost as much as he probably wants to punch his women in the stomach, but he cant be my #1….
Chad Johnson needs punched in the face so much more. Just think about it. Constantly yapping, irritating everybody, bitching when things dont go his way, and always thinkin he’s the shiz when even at his peak was still not the best available WR. And the OchoCinco stuff is just retarded.

My top 5 + H.M.
5. Brady Quinn – He just looks like a jaggoff. And he’s a Brown.
4. Vince Young – STFU and learn to throw from the pocket. BooHoo you were handed the starting job, millions of dollars and a solid gold o-line because you have the passer rating of Tavares Jackson and the explosive running of a T.J. Duckett. That too much for you to handle?
3. Sean Mahan – Punch? In the face? I’d put a rusty screwdriver through the roof of his mouth.
2. Peyton Manning – The league is not your billboard, you penis-resembling audibles monkey.
1. Houshmanzadeh – Everyone’s saying Chad, which is deserved. But T.J. always pissed me off more. If you recall, 85 would always go on and on about his daily soap opera BS, but Housh was always the guy stomping on towels, calling Hines a dirty player, disputing ref calls on the field. I’d love to have a time machine and head back to 2005 to administer a good face punching.
Honorable Mention – Brett Farve. Not on the list because he’s not actually an active player. Or is he? Or isn’t he? That’s why I’d break his jaw.

Top 5 Professional Athletes I'd Like to Punch
I had to expand a little…
5. Sean Avery (NY Rangers) – BIG douchebag. This guy is your stereotypical “look at me, I’m different” kind of guy. Definitely needs his ass kicked. Who even says “sloppy seconds” anyway? That was funny when I was like 15…
4. Alex Rodriguez (Yanks) – One of the greatest baseball talents ever, marred by steroids. Yet because he plays in NY, he gets a free pass, even though he tested positive and admitted using steroids. I’d take steroids for 6 months before I punched him in the face…
3. Sasha Vujacic (Lakers) – I hate this guy and his dainty little Euro-headband. I think everyone, including the rest of the Lakers, want to punch him…just to see if he’d cry like a girl.
2. TJ Houshmanzadeh (Seahawks) – Just looking at this guy makes me want to puke.
1. The Oakland Raiders – I hope Goodell exports Al Davis and his team of low-lifes to Mongolia. I’d love to punch the Raiders organization in it’s collective face…but I’d almost certainly get shanked in the process.
Why should I change my name? He's the one that sucks!

4. T. Suggs – for many of the same reasons people have already stated.
3. Lenwhale Wide – towel stomping coward. Hes not good and he has no business talking trash……..
2. T.O. – how can someone be such a stuck up bastard but at the same time such a whining bastard. People like him make me weep for the world….
1. Tom Brady – we’ve been over that. The fact that he has a super model girlfriend just adds to my hatred.
honorable mention – seeing as how its a different sport I couldnt put Marian Hossa on there…………..but I really wanna punch him in the face. I guess the Cup was pretty much like a kick to the groin anyway.

2) John Madden; Crying for years that the Immaculate Reception was illegal and the only reason the refs didn’t call it back was the Pittsburgh Police told the head ref he didn’t have enough officers to protect the crew. Total BS John you fat slob!
3) Holmgren; How dare you blame your XL loss on the refs! The Steelers may not have brought their A game that day but they did make 3 plays. (Ben’s 3rd and 27, FWP for 75, Randle El flea flicker) while your guys made none and Stevens dropped about 5 passes.
4) Arians; Along with just about every other Steeler OC since the 70’s (except Whiz) you are making me grow old before my time every Sunday watching you struggle with game planning. By the way, thanks for blowing a 24 point 4th quarter lead while OC of the Browns at Pittsburgh in 02!
5) Jerry Jones & Al Davis; We all know who is calling the shots for these two forlorn franchises.

Sticking to the NFL
Phillip Rivers
Jay Cutler
Chad Ochocinco
Terrell Owens
Shawn Merriman
Brady DID laugh about not being able to score on the Giants at a press conference, but overall, he’s been a pretty class act, he wouldn’t even make my top 100. It’s the media that makes me sick, ramping him up to be the greatest of all time and going on and on about him.

Yeah, I don’t get the hate for Brady (or Manning). Hating Brady because he’s good!?!? Hating him because he jokes about being good at a press conference?!?! Can we really niggle about Brady’s comments when we used to chuckle about Porter’s mouth? Also, I understand the jokes about Manning flapping his arms, but if we’re going to bust on anyone for excessive movement, we’ve gotta ding Troy for his epileptic interception returns.
No, if I’m going to throw punches, it’ll be at locker room cancers (T.O. and Plax), criminals (Vick and Plax), or guys who simply have no class (Pacman and Plax). Dudes who are simply unprofessional (Holmgren… might as well include Plax) get off with a kick in the shin.

Only 5?!
Best. Topic. EVER.
5. Brady Quinn- Couldn’t stand him in college and was so happy he became a Brown so the Steelers could destroy him twice a year. I still haven’t gotten the pleasure to see it because he still hasn’t played Pittsburgh yet. Stop being a baby and come get your ass beating!
4. Shawne Merriman- That lights out dance is crap; stop doing it after every tackle.
3. Phillip “Marmalard” Rivers- Hasn’t accopmplished anything, and when his team had home field advantage they GAVE that game away against NE.
2. Rodney Harrison- (I know he just retired) The only player I’ve openly wished injury on and not felt bad about it.
1. New England quarterback. HATE HATE HATE HATE HIM! I don’t want to punch him in the face, more like use his head for batting practice. Seriously, I have thrown and broken things when his ugly, always smug face comes on my TV screen. Eff him, that epic douche nozzle.

Football people who need punched, imho
How about:
Randy Cross-I cringe when I find out that he is calling the Steelers game. I can’t stand that biased Steeler hater. I’d love to bitch slap him.
Cris Collingsworth-He looks like a weasel with that “Prissy” look he’s always got on his face!! He makes me sick with his man crush he has on Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Peyton Manning-Because it is never his fault when they lose. He’s a crybaby, and I have to agree with the waving of the arms like he’s getting ready to have a seizure.
Belicheat-Thanks to him I can’t teach my kids that cheaters don’t win. Cuz guess what!! They won 3 Superbowls!!

Awesome topic!
This deadzone before the season starts gets tougher every year.
I hope you don’t mind if I list my 5:
5) Rodney Harrison – Cheater. Cheater. Cheater. Loud mouth. Cheater
4) Shawne Merriman – See above\
3) Brett Favre – Spoiled & Selfish. I used to like him and it really pisses me off that I can’t anymore because of his retiring/unretiring/retiring/unretiring media whining sessions.
2) Phillip Rivers – Big Loud Mouth Puke. ‘nuff said
1) Tom Brady – of course. Arrogant *&%#$ who would be nothing without Belicheat and Spygate. I’m convinced.
Sorry some of you guys don’t like Peyton. The taking the clock down to the last second is hard for us fans to handle too. My blood pressure skyrockets during games.

Wow, look at all of this traffic....
Okay, living in Phila, I can actually give you a bigger trash-talking-do-nothing than Anthony Smith. And every week he was on the Eagles, and for a while now that he’s no longer even in the league, you couldn’t shut him up. I give you….
5) Freddie “Fred-Ex” Mitchell. Still only know for one play, 4th and 24, yet the talking hasn’t stopped. He apparently is still blogging about his comeback…
4) T.O. Great skills, can’t question his ability. But someone forgot how to teach him about the concept of team.
3) Tom Brady – I’m not sure I would have had him on here, but I read that quote up in Johnny_S’s post and that did it for me.
2) Plaxico – I wasn’t old enough to understand why the Steelers let such a talent leave, now of course I get it. Had the world by the balls….
1) Got to go with Ocho Cinquo. Another in a line of talented, super skill-set, me first meatheads who just don’t get it. Look at that offense and how much potential, and yet the guy can’t find enough humility to get the whole ‘team concept?’ I know Carson Palmer is a Bengal, and we of the Black and Gold are not supposed to admit it, but what a great talent – I feel badly for him having to deal with Knucklehead Chad.

4. TJ Who’syourmomma: That commercial never gets old, and though I do respect TJ’s game, the guy can be a baby.
3. The Ravens LB Core of Recent Years: Though I’ll disagree with those who say Ray Lewis is overrated, I will say that he does a helluva lotta talkin’, and doesn’t always do the walkin’. Suggs and Scott helped come up with the Hines Ward “Bounty” and both have pulled some dirty shots over the years, end up crying in the end.
2. Kellen Winslow Jr.: I’m almost gonna miss beating on him this year. This was a summary of his short career in the AFC North.
2. Lendale White: Cocky, Fat, Arrogant, and really thinks much more of himself then he really deserves. We’ll see what happens opening game. The boy’s over at Music City Miracles are certainly confident in themselves. The one thing I will say I’m surprised at is how unprofessional Jeff Fischer is letting his team be. All this talk coming from his boys and he’s done nothing to stop it. I’m sure many of you have noticed that not one Steeler has made a single significant remark in the press about it. We let our play on the field do the talking.

5. Skip Bayless- He goes so out of his way to be contrary. I’ve seen him contradict himself so many times I don’t think he knows what he believes anymore.
4. Stephen A. Smith- Dude, stop yelling! Also, when you’re wrong, saying it louder won’t make you right. STFU!
3. Tony Kornheiser on MNF- I have never turned the sound off an entire game until he started, thank every diety ever that he’s gone.
2. The Hooded prick- Seriously, why is he considered great? Look at his track record in Cleveland. He’s nothing without New England quarterback who in turn hasn’t won anything without Vinatieri.
1. Roger Goodell- This huge p*ssy ass commisioner, ugh I can’t stand him. He’s a complete farce of an authority figure and he’s tripping hard off of his own power, which isn’t much, because it seems like the trouble has escalated since he’s taken over. I hope he DIAMFF!

5.) Joey Porter- Of course he was a great Steeler defensive force when he was here, but after seeing him run his mouth about Ben in the 2007 season, he deserves a bitch slap to that mouth (which resembles a garbage disposal if you look closely).
4.) Adam “Pacman” Jones- He just needs a cold beat down. He is the worst trouble-maker in the league. If you can’t make it with Jerry Jones, then you can’t make it period. I don’t even think Al Davis would take him.
3.) Brandon Marshall- The typical one-man team. He is a good athlete but a terrible person in general. He makes me sick and deserves a good, sound ass beating.
2.) Mike Florio- Ok so he’s not an NFL player, but I swear to you he must think he is. What a tool. If I have to hear more of his WV Pat White talk, Brett Favre rumors he makes up, or bagging on Pittsburgh anymore, I think I’ll have to whip his no life ass. Ya’ll understand what I mean I hope. If not.. head on over to Profootballtalk.com and see for yourselves.
1.) Plaxico Burress- God help me. I can’t stand that he was a Steeler at once. He is the laziest athlete in the NFL. He doesn’t workout with his team, he causes trouble, and he’s an overall dumbass. F him and the horse he road in on. I’d love to beat the hell out of him.

Not too
quick on the uptake, are ya?
Ahhh, Brady’s record season occurred AFTER the spygate charges were resolved. And you did hear that the Commissioner of the NFL said “no competitive advantage was gained” from any tapes, right? Or are you a higher authority than the NFL Commissioner?
Funny how a couple of those you mention are ex-stealers. I’m sure you were wanting to punch their mush when they wore the yellow and gold, right?
Funny also how you want to punch the two best QBs in the league that will be sure first ballot Hall of Famers. But if they played for the cheap-shot stealers you would love them, right?
Hey, but don’t feel too bad neither of those guys plays for your steroid tainted team. The Stealers got the second best QB in Pennsylvania!

Even Funnier
that Brady LOST the Super Bowl during your so called “record season.” I’ll take Ben’s 12-4 and a Lombardi over Brady’s 16-0 with SB flameout any day Babe. How many rings has Brady won since Belicheat* stopped taping? Same as Babe Parelli won as a starter. Zero. By the way, the only ring your hero ever “earned” was as a back up for Joe Willie. (who was from South western PA and presented the 6th Lombardi to the STEELERS) Kind of like Terry Hanratty huh Babe? Ring as a back up is not the same as ring for a contributor. Kind of like you not contributing to this post huh?
Also wondering if you believe everything you hear from authority (Goodell)? Wonder why he burned the tapes if there was no competitive advantage gained? By the way, The STEELERS did use steroids as did just about every other team in the league as they were not illegal…see Lyle Alzado. The Pats* used tape when everyone else was disallowed and were turned in by their own ex Pat* coach Benedict Mangini. I for one didn’t list Brady (or Peyton) as one I’d like to punch. I think Brady is a great QB. I just don’t respect him or Belicheat* since Spygate. As for “cheap shots” go You Tube Wes Welker. Did he find his teeth yet?

I doubt
Tom is too broken up about not having that ring. He does have THREE Super Bowl rings and TWO Super Bowl MVP rings. That totals 5 for you math challenged stealer hillbillys.
I am sorry. But I have to go by the word of the NFL Commish rather than some cheap-shot stealers fan posting on a message board. That seems to just make sense. Maybe you could get that great Senator from PA, Arlan Sphincter, to post his suspicions here.
Why did he destroy them? Good question. Could be that he was afraid Belichick would follow through on his threat that he made during his interview with Goodell to expose everything he knew about rules violations in the NFL if the whole thing didn’t end… NOW.

Bradshaw has 4 Super Bowl rings Babe! And 2 Super Bowl MVP’s. That’s more than Tom. But like Tom’s they are in the past. All that counts is now.
By the way there must be something in the chowder you are smoking. Tom only has 3 rings not 5. You get a car for the MVP not a ring.
I will tell you this. I think it’s the Pats* and the Steelers playing for the AFC Championship and rights to “Team Of The Decade” this coming season. Should be a great year for both our teams. Looking forward to playing NE* for all the AFC marbles.

The Patriots weren’t caught cheating. The NFL has stated “no competitive advantage was gained”. That should be good enough for any fair minded person.

Last time I checked this was a Steelers forum. Obviously the majority of the focus in this thread is going to be on players not currently wearing the black and gold.
Here are some simple facts for you to chew on:
1. Pittsburgh has twice as many Lombardi’s as New England and the Steelers have won two titles since the Patriots won their last.
2. Your QB is coming off major injury and there is no guarantee he will ever regain his past form. Big Ben is 5 years younger than Brady and just now entering his prime.
3. We have a pair of Super Bowl MVP wide receivers on our roster. You have zero.
4. Your team, yet again, had to raid free agency hard in an attempt to patch numerous deficiencies. Pittsburgh continues to build through the draft and manages to keep their core group of players together.
5. Pittsburgh has won their titles without any known rules violations while New England’s victories are cloaked in controversy.
6. Our league leading defense returns nearly intact.
Did NE even play D last year?
I could go on and on and on but you get the gist of it. There’s no need to espouse the obvious. We can discuss current affairs. We can go back in history. The facts remain the same. Superior team. Superior results.
Several years ago I’m sure you thought your team was an unbeatable dynasty that was going to run away with the title of “Team of the Decade”. But things just haven’t panned out at all for you the past four years have they? Another Steeler victory this year and your team is no longer even relevant. That’s a shame. I understand your anger, hatred and envy and empathize with you. I really do.
However, your adolescent name callings and noncreative misspellings are boring and tedious. I hate watching someone make themselves look foolish. It saddens me. Truly. Unless you have something relevant to say and can do so in an educated and adult manner, please quit wasting everyone’s time.

Oh really.
1. Of their first 37 seasons the Stealers had 7 winning seasons; until steroids were available in the 70s. Their stank could be smelled in other galaxies it was so pungent.
Before their two recent feeble wins in a biased penalty marred game against the Seahawks and a last minute win against a dismal 9-7 Cardinals team they had won nothing for 26 years.
Meanwhile they were losing 7 Conference Championships.
2. If Brady is half the QB he was, he will be better than dumb as a stump Rottenburger.
3. We have a two time Super Bowl MVP QB on our roster. You have the owner of the worst QB rating in a Super Bowl history for a winning team.
4. The Patriots have signed some bargain basement FAs to cover loses to free agency. That happens when other teams covet your players and offer them huge bucks. The Stealers don’t have to worry about that.
5. Shittsburg has won titles on steroids and bad calls. The Patriots according to the NFL gained no competitive advantage from anything they did.
6. Our all-time best offense returns nearly intact.
Several years ago? That would be the year before the one just concluded. You know, the one where we had our starting QB not a backup scrub that hadn’t started a game since high school? The one where we didn’t lose a game until some crazy fluke catch beat us with 59 seconds left. You know, the year we beat the stealers 34-13 on our way to an undefeated regular season? The same year the stealers went one and out. It wasn’t several years ago. It was 18 months ago.
You really don’t have a clue about the decade do you? It already has been decided. The Patriots own this one, and the Colts are second. You don’t really think anybody but a stealer fan is impressed that you cheated the Seahawks on bad calls and beat a joke of a Cards team do you?
The stealers have been a better than average team that has just hung around like a vulture waiting for better teams to have some bad luck this decade. But hey, you can dream.

Nice try
Your retort doesn’t hold up. Facts are facts. So I’ll reiterate one last time.
1. 6>3 and 2>0.
2. A healthy defending SB winning 27 is FAR younger than an aging 32 coming off major surgery who hasn’t won anything in four years.
3. Our SB MVPs actually played in the game last year. Yours had to watch on TV with the rest of us fans.
4. NE HAD to raid free agency again in a desperate attempt to TRY fixing numerous holes. PIT primarily strengthened itself through the draft again.
5. PIT won all six of their titles during the SB era within the rules. NE did not. NE and Belichik certainly weren’t fined for following the rules, thus they were cheating.
6. PIT D was #1 last year. NE’s D watched the PO’s on TV right beside that historic O.
You have no leg to stand on. PIT is the defending champs and they crushed your boys handily last season preventing them from making the POs. This is a what have you done for me lately league and the Pats, quite frankly, haven’t done much of anything lately.
It’s too bad that your objective is to try to stir up shit around here. This has been a very good forum this summer to talk about football without having to deal with the incessant attempts at trash talking that you seem to relish. Unless you can counter without resorting to more pathetic excuses and juvenile name calling I’m done with you.

Reality.
1. Super bowl wins since Carter was President. 3>2
2. 32 is aging for a QB? That’s just stupid. Well, he has made the playoffs every year he has played the season, unlike Rottenburger.
3. The stealers have been watching the Pats twice as much in the Super Bowl as the Pats have watched them this decade.
4. NE did not HAVE to get free agents. They signed a couple vets short term at CB. The rest are fill-ins. Rooney is too damned cheap to sign anybody. Everybody wants the Pats FAs because they come from a true winning program. There is little interest in the stealers FAs, because the stealers just aren’t an impressive team. The Colts have been superior to them this decade as well.
5. The NFL didn’t send out it’s memorandum clarifying the rule until 2006 anyway. Before that clarification the rules and the bylaws obviously conflicted. “No competitive advantage was gained”. Were the Super Bowl trophies taken back by the league? No. So they are valid. Yeah, steroids weren’t illegal, so the stealers legally cheated. At least you don’t have the balls to try to say they weren’t juiced.
6. see 3.
Crushed my boys? You won one more game and we had a kid at QB who hadn’t started a game since high school and were playing third stringers at a number of spots on D due to injuries. wtf, you’re kidding right?
I have no interest is stirring up shit, as you say. Just stating the facts. That doesn’t set too well with those who bleed black and yellow I guess. They would rather live in their fantasy world where the Cheap-Shots are the best ever, unfettered by the truth.
Not sure what excuses you think I need. Fact is the Pats own the decade and they own the stealers. That’s about as much as any fan could ask for.
Most power rankings put the Pats #1 not the Shittsburgh Cheap-Shots. Some champs, lol.

Clarifications
1. 6 is still twice as many as 3 and 2 is infinitely times greater than 0.
2. 32 is five years older than 27. That’s an eternity in this league. Some QBs play late into their 30’s. Most do not. Especially immobile ones like Brady. Who’s to say how many more years he’ll be able to play. Brady was QB in ‘02 and ’08 albeit only briefly last season. Both times the Pats failed to make the POs. Ben has missed the PO’s once and won twice since Brady won his last five years ago. Age, injuries and recent results clearly favors Ben and the Steelers. Brady’s window is closing while Ben is just entering his.
3. Multiple SB MVPs played and won in the SB for PIT last year. NE’s lone SB MVP watched injured and in dismay as the Steelers increased their gap over all other franchises with regards to Lombardi trophies. NEs most recent SB appearance resulted in failure. PITs most recent appearances resulted in rings.
4. NE is desperate. They haven’t won a title in five years and their window under Brady is closing. The desperation shows in the sheer volume of FA’s that your team HAD to sign to fill your roster. Seems players don’t find playing for Belichik as appealing as they once did since so many now jump ship. I guess they now realize that championships aren’t such a sure thing anymore.
5. NE cheated and broke NFL rules. They were fined for it. PIT did not.
6. PIT D >> NE D
PIT won last year against NE in the razor to the tune of 33-10. It was week 13. Your QB already had more than 10 starts to his name. An NE win would have put your team in great position to make the POs. They got crushed.
Every team has multiple injuries, ours included. Our OL had 4 brand new starters playing last year and yet won the SB. Quit making excuses. Your team was humbled. End of story.
I’m sorry that the Steelers are too tough on their opponents. Football is a contact sport. You’re entitled to believe the Steelers are cheap shot artists, but it comes off as just more excuse making for a fan of a franchise that hasn’t been able to get it done in five years.
The stats for the decade do slightly favor the Pats. Both teams have qualified for the POs 6 out of 9 years. NE is 14-3 and PIT is 10-4 in the POs. NE has won 3 rings and PIT has won 2. NE has 5 championship game appearances and PIT has 4. NE has more regular season wins. However in the past 4 years, PIT is 7-1 in the POs with 2 rings while NE is 5-3 with none. Another PIT SB victory this season, should it happen, would make the debate for team of the decade very interesting and give the Steelers 3 rings in 5 years with back to back victories to finish the decade. NE last won a ring following the 2004 season. That’s a long, long time ago for a team and a fan claiming to be the team of the decade. Just turns your stomach doesn’t it.
As for your Colts debate for being the second best team lf the decade, I don’t see it. Granted they have been phenomenal in the regular season making the POs 8 of 9 years, but that’s where their argument ends. They have gone one and done 5 of the 9 years and won more than one PO game only twice. They have 2 AFC title game appearances and one ring. Their overall PO record is 7-7 during the decade. Championships define success and the Colts PO performances don’t even make them relevant in this discussion.
I could care last where PIT is listed in the preseason power rankings. It’s the rankings at the end of the year that matter and they have been number 1 twice in the past four seasons. As a Pats groupie I’m sure you used to understand this fact. Too bad that you have to pin your hopes on a meaningless preseason prognostication. I feel bad for you. You’re a sad, sad little man.

nonsense, all nonsense from the pats fan
but this is particularly idiotic since it is very easy to prove wrong:
Everybody wants the Pats FAs because they come from a true winning program. There is little interest in the stealers FAs, because the stealers just aren’t an impressive team.
So I guess Joey Porter was just worthless huh? 16 in 2008 sacks is weak!

1. That “dismal” Cardinals team destroyed every team it came up against in the playoffs. And bringing up the whole refs winning for the Steelers is ridiculous. Um, didnt the refs actually give the Cardinals 2 points with that safety in the Super Bowl? yea, they did. Didn’t they take away a Steelers TD on the first drive of the game? um, yea they did. Did the refs ignore the fact that on the first Fitz TD the ball hit the ground first? yea, um they did. I’ve got this shit on DVD buddy.
And as far as franchise histories go, 6 Super Bowls to 3. Also, look up franchise winning %, I bet you the Steelers are higher than the Pats………..
2. Clever, I bet you wrote that in 3rd period studying social studies.
3. Still won that Super Bowl, thats all that matters. Plus, QB TD runs don’t count for rating, and he did have one…..lets not forget that.
4. thats right, they just go after our coaches…………….also, we keep our players happy so they don’t want to leave.
5. What a hugely asinine and downright ignorant comment. First off, steriods werent illegal back then. Unlike video tapeing your opponent which is illegal (and Bellicheat knew it was, regardless of what he says). Also, show me the evidence that says the NFL believes the Pats gained no competitive edge by tapeing? Because I don’t believe that. The fact that Goodell was so light on them to begin with shocked the majority of the NFL fans. So if he did say that it may be due to the fact that Goodell has a thing for them….anyway, speculation aside, they knowingly cheated, end of story.
6. We’ll have to wait and see what happens. But I don’t think having Tom Brady is going to make Light block Harrison better………
Cmon man, your comments are seriously hurting how Patriot fans are percieved. Way to help your team, making their fanbase look like jackasses.

Okay dood,
if I furnish proof Goodell said no competitive advantage was obtained will you vow to never say the Pats cheated again?
Goodell was and is a buffoon. He came out guns blazing because he’s Mr. Tough Guy Commish, and when the Pats told him they had evidence much of the rest of the league was still doing it he tried to back off but the public whine from weenies like you who were sick of getting your team’s asses handed to them by the Pats made such a stink he had to do something dramatic. That’s why he stonewalled the whole thing after the punishment. That’s why he destroyed the tapes. He destroyed the proof the whole damned league was doing this that the Pats had. Ya think? Did you even read about any of this stuff when it was going on?
Just about every word I read here makes Cheap-Shot fans look like jackasses. So it’s all good.

real mature there buddy
and no, I will not deny that they cheated. They broke the rules with the intention of gaining a competitive edge over their opponent. Whether Goodell thinks it gave them an edge doesn’t matter, they still cheated. There is no denying that.
And wheres this evidence that the Pats had on other teams? Thats bullshit too, don’t try to make up stuff to defend them. Their your team I understand but they messed up, deal with it.
yes I read about it while it was going on, obviously you didn’t.
This thread is intended as a joke. We did not go onto the Pats message board and start yelling about how we want to punch Tom Brady int he face. We did not go onto the Pats message board and start calling them the Cheatriots (and if anyone did we apologize for that but theres always a couple of rotten fans in every fanbase, you are an example of that it appears). The fact of the matter is that you came onto our message board and made ridiculous accusations and retarded arguements. Thats what a Cheap-Shot fan is. If you don’t like it go on back to your message board………….if not, well, at least show some respect when visiting an opposing teams message board.

The Patriots guarantee was a minor thing
It was his attitude and willingness to knock out our WR’s in practice. I was really high on him when we drafted him and in his rookie season. He just let me down, which i could say im bitter about. Maybe the kid will get a reality check
His playtime dropped off because he showed time and time again he was out for himself, and charcter – wise, was not a Steeler guy

When you win?
Ahhh, not to be a meanie but the Pats have won 3 out of 4 playoff games against the Cheap-Shots. The Cheap Shots won their one by a whole point in Shittsburgh. Meanwhile the Pats won their three by an average of 15+ points.
Fact is the Cheap Shots have won a championship about every 13 years of their existence in the NFL, and the Pats have won one about every 13 years of theirs. Big difference. And the Pats have been in the championship game more frequently for the time they have been in the NFL than the Cheap Shots. Of course the Shittsburgh Cheap-Shots could have been in more if they could have won a few of those 7 AFC championships they lost. Then there’s that 25 year stretch they didn’t make the playoffs. Is that an NFL record or what?
Last year you clowns beat the 8-8 Chargers, the 11-5 Ratbirds, who you own, and the 9-7 Cards and you think you bad now? A combined 28-20 record, and you all thinkin’ the Cheap Shots are a dynasty again. Laughable.
Your punk thug player takes a cheap-shot on Wes Welker who isn’t even near the ball and is looking the other way because they play is over and you all start thumping your chests like you bad. You not bad, you just got low-life dirty football players and you get all worked up over something as despicable as that cheap-shot. The stealers are a dirty football team. They have no honor. They aren’t the champs. They are the filth of the NFL.
Reality stings like a biatch, don’t it? But it’s better than the Cheap-Shot fantasy land you people are living in.
I’m not a troll. I just tell it like it is. And “like it is” seems like trolling to a bunch of people who adore a nasty-dirty sports team that thinks they have accomplished way more than they have.

*YAWN*
1. “DOOD”, just go suck Brady off and leave us in our ‘fantasy land’.
2. “Trolling” is defined by visiting another teams blog, and posting deliberately inflamatory things to piss off said teams fans. A thing you have done constantly IE: calling our Super Bowl Champion Steelers “Shittsburgh”, and the “Cheap Shots”.
3. Cheating is cheating. Legal, however is not illegal(I can’t believe i actualy must explain this to anyone!). EVERYbody juiced in the ’70s, and whatever is not illegal, is, by proxy…wait for it…LEGAL!
4. Reality IS a bitch, isn’t it, guy who’s team DIDN’T win SB 43. Wait a minute…have the Pats won anything in the last 4 seasons? Hmmmmm….I guess I would be bitter too if MY team was a lock for “team of the decade” before a guy named Big Ben exploded into the league, and started winning titles and rings. The only numbers that matter are the ones beside the “W” column.
Oh well, Facts is facts, as the saying goes. Both of our teams “cheated”, but only your team went directly against the rules to do it.
6 Super Bowls is more than 3…in case you can’t count, please reply to this and I’ll spell it out a little better for you.
In conclusion, you are a sad, lonely individual, who obviously cannot find anything to post about on his own teams blog, and so must come trolling over here(if you forgot the definition of trolling, see #2 further up in this reply. BTW, #2 is before #3, but AFTER #1).

Obviously your hillbillyness needs a simple approach.
I’m trying to assist you poor clueless Cheap Shot fans as to what is reality. That’s not trolling.
Every definition of cheating clearly implies deceit. The Pats were openly taping and no attempt was made to conceal the fact. It was only after the NFL sent out it’s memo clarifying their rules conflict that what they were doing could even be considered a rules violation. That occurred for one quarter of the first game and the tapes were taken and could not have been used.
The only exploding BR has done is when he blows chunks from one of his drunken stupors.
You clowns love to slice up time don’t ya? “In the Super Bowl era” is a good one. That conveniently segregates the first four decades the Stealers absolutely stunk the league up. So now it’s "the last four years. Funny, didn’t hear ONE WORD from a Stealer fan about the “last three years” going back just some 6 months ago.

Boo hoo hoo, Babe Parilli….
Let’s set the record straight on Clark’s hit on The Little F*&% Welker. The ball was still in the air, Welker was the intended receiver, Clark had lined him up….and if you’ve ever played the game, you’d know it was nigh impossible for Clark to stop. Welker, to his credit, unlike all you sniveling Pats fan, who I have the displeasure of living among in New Hampshire, said it was a good hit.
The flag on Clark amounted to a flag for “hitting too hard” as the NFL admitted that Clark’s hit was within the rules, as far as not leading with his head, etc.
One of my proudest moments as a Steeler fan was when the NFL, at their meetings had their “Pussification of the NFL Day” and instituted rules changes to take hitting out of the game, and 3 of the 4 now offending clips that they showed were of Steelers jackin’ people up, Wes Welker among them. There was the AssClown Jack Del Rio lending support to Crybaby Marvin Lewis about the jaw-breaking hit that Hines laid on Keith Rivers. The McKay fagboy took the vote, said, “so it’s unanimous? Oh….one vote against…..oh….Pittsburgh.” YES…..one REAL football team, and 31 groups of wimp-asses.

Also, I don’t understand the whole cheap shot thing either. The hit on Welker was legal, the NFL stated that.

Big boys don't cry.
Riding a motorcycle without a helmet is stupid. That’s about as stupid as stupid gets. He also is notorious as a poor reader of defenses. I’m sure he took the usual athlete courses in college. That’s not really college. Not that it is pertinent or any of your business, I am a college grad. How about you? What would you possibly know of my services to the community. Again, if you must know, I have been a “Loaned Executive” for the United Way, worked for the Special Olympics and much more. How about you?
Brady? From all reports he is involved with his son and meeting his obligations. Unfortunately his relationship with Bridget Moynahan was ending and she became pregnant. That happens. It is ill advised to marry someone if you are uncertain you can abide by the commitment that involves. Certainly you or I don’t know the details of why the relationship failed and therefore should not judge that the reasons were lacking.
If the hits were so legal why have so many people complained about them? Just because the NFL says a hit was legal doesn’t make the hit clean. I’m glad Harrison is gone. He was a dirty player, but much more so in his Charger days.
A rather bitter and petty epilogue from you. I’m happy to say my relationship with the Lord is quite good. He agrees with me. The Stealers are scumbags.

yes, I’m a college grad, with a history degree if you must know. Me bringing up the college thing was a direct result of how you act. You do not act like someone who graduated college, because in college they teach you about respecting people as well as educating you on how to act appropriately given a situation. Would you have told your professor to kiss your ass had they been a Steeler fan? Dear God I hope not.
If his relationship with her was ending why bother risking a pregnancy? The fact is that I will say he left her for another model and you will say he left her because it was the right thing to do. You’re right though, I don’t know the details about their relationship so therefore I shouldn’t really make a comment about it. Just like you don’t know the details of Bens intelligence, or the overall intelligence of Steeler fans, or the culture(s) of Steeler fans, etc. So you have no buisness making the accusations that you do.
Just because Goodell (so you say) claims that Spygate gave them no competitive edge doesn’t mean it wasn’t cheating.
Judging by your last paragraph Im starting to think Im arguing with Terrell Owens. Only someone so high and mighty on themselves would be saying the things you have said.

I have been called any number of nasty things here, but I guess it’s okay when squealer fans do it. One poster states they would like to punch me in the face, but I’m the one who gets warned.
It’s the same old squealer double standard. If they win it’s twice as good as anybody else’s win. If you insult them once they get to insult you ten times. Same old, and that’s why I hate the stealers and their fans.
Not a single commenter has acknowledged any factual point I have made. They like to live in a dreamworld where everything stealer is good and everything anything else isn’t as good. You won’t see me on any other blogs giving them crap because they don’t deserve it. The Shittsburgh Cheap Shots and their fans do.
I’ll leave you folks to your little dreamworld. I knew nobody here would concede even one valid point, because they are stealer fans.

Because the Steelers aren’t cheaters, so it doesn’t make sense when it comes back the other way. And when people brought up the whole Pats cheating thing you replied with stuff like Shitsburgh, Stealers, Cheap-Shots (clever by the way), and so on. Its irrelevant and ridiculous.
I was the poster who said he wanted to punch you in the face. When you act like you have been you don’t deserve any respect. You don’t give it therefore why should you receive it. Had you made your arguement in a mature and respectable manner than I would never had said that. And youve been attacked by people on this board because you simply came here to make people angry, you came to Troll. When you act like that you better expect repercussions.
That double standard thing doesnt even make sense.
What factual points? Most of your posts have been asinine insults. Anything factual you have brought up has been countered accordingly. You mention the Steelers of the 70s used steroids, to which we reply it wasn’t illegal back then. They werent the only team using them. Thats about the only actual fact I remember you making. Most the other stuff (clean hits and what not) is opinion. We don’t think every Steeler is perfect, when Holmes got in trouble we didnt defend him, hell, the TEAM suspended him a game on their own will (hardly the work of a classless organization).
Your problem is you think you know everything. You think every Steeler fan is the same. There may be a few rotten ones (just like I’m sure you are one of the few rotten Pat fans) but the fan base, as with all fan bases is made up of many different people with different personalities and opinions. So to hate an entire fan base is ridiculous.
Theres been valid points all over the place, you just ignore them.

OK, here's some facts.
1. The NFL stated no competitive advantage was gained by the Pats taping.
Authoritative sources such as Bill Parcells and Jimmy Johnson have stated everybody did it, yet Goodell didn’t even question them about the matter. Johnson further said he didn’t bother doing it because it was a waste of effort.
The NFL memo came out just before the league confiscated the tapes. Only ONE QUARTER against the Jets had occurred after the memo was issued and the tapes obviously were not even viewed as NFL security took them. Additionally, Walsh stated the tapes were never viewed on gameday.
The NFL bylaws allowed such taping so long as it was not used the day of the game.
Even Rooney stated the Pats gained no competitive advantage from any tapes.
Yet stealer fans use the cheating charge in an attempt to diminish the accomplishments of the Pats.
2. Stealer fans always qualify their boasts with qualifiers such as “during the super bowl era”, or “in the last four years”. They fail to mention the nearly 40 years they were the laughing stock of the league. How convenient. They fail to mention the Pats have won as many championships in relation to their time in the NFL as the stealers have.
3. The stealers have won 2 super bowls in four years, but not a one admits they were fortunate against the Seahawks to be on the good end of a number of bad calls by the officials, that were universally condemned by fans from all teams when they occurred. They also fail to admit they had an easy road to the last super bowl championship, playing teams with a combined 28-20 record, and barely beating the 9-7 Cardinals.

1. I never said that spygate won them their championship. I simply said it was cheating (which it was). I also said I did believe (this is an opinion therefore you have no right to declare it bunk) it gave them some competitive edge, perhaps just not that much. I never said they didn’t deserve those wins. They were, and are, a good team. I have them as my #1 on my personal power ranking (Steelers, not stealers, being #2). Regardless of all that though, they did cheat and that was all I was saying. You replied with inane and ridiculous statements.
2. We are not talking about those 40 years, it is irrelevant. They were the laughing stock but what that has to do with anything I don’t know. Even with that, they are regarded by ESPN (people who get paid to analyze) as the #1 NFL franchise. The Pats don’t have as good a winning record (since the merger) as the Steelers (I don’t have that list handy but I think the Dolphins were first with the Steelers 2nd).
3. They weren’t fortunate against the Seahawks. There were only two bad calls that I can remember, one of which took place after a Steelers INT so it was Steelers ball anyway. I have the game on DVD and I have watched it several times just to watch the penalties (because thats all the Seahawks fans talk about now) and there really weren’t that many bad calls. Is it hard to imagine that a disciplined team with a hard nosed coach (Cowher) wouldn’t commit that many penalties? I don’t find it surprising. Every now and then penalties are going to be lopsided. Even so, the score was 28 – 10……blame the game on Stevens hands or the Seahawks lack of offense in general.
Easy road? They had to toughest NFL schedule, earned a first round by, beat a San Diego (dangerous offense that beat the Pats 30 to 10 earlier in the year) team that beat the Colts. Then they beat the Ravens, an arch rival (which is never an easy game whether you realize it or not). And yes, they barely beat the Cards, a 9-7 team that demolished the best teams in the NFC to get to the Super Bowl. And those playoff Cards played better than the regular season Cards.
Besides all this says even less for the Pats who didn’t even make the play-offs.
You’re not helping your team here.

I did not see
much dirty play from Harrison as a Patriot. He threw a few elbows in the pile to intimidate but that isn’t going to seriously hurt somebody. I think his dirty rep came more from his Chargers days. Generally, I wasn’t a fan of his. He played some good safety but his punk thug type stuff was nothing to admire. I won’t miss him. I never saw him try to injure or cheap-shot anybody though.

Actually, Anthony Smith is too insignficant for any malice from me.
The power of prayer finally paid off for me last year relative to my weekly sessions, spanning years, hoping and praying for Tom Brady to “break his effin’ leg.”
Manning?? I dunno….our beating the Colts on the way to SBXL makes him not so much a target.
Lendale White’s a Fat &# whose ass we’ll kick on September 10th.
Merriman doesn’t bother me.
Tell you who I’d like to punch in the face, A-number 1, is The Pompous *^%# Tedy Bruschi. This goes back to the ‘02 Monday Night opener when he’s flippin’ out toward the end of the game ‘cause the Steelers are calling timeouts, trying to score. Hey Tedy (ain’t that a nightgown?), if you’re done playing, get off the field. Demonstrating my sensitivity, I root hard for non-heart related injuries to The Pompous blank Bruschi.
Don’t need to hate on Rodney Harrison anymore. It was funny though. I loved seeing Rodney get jacked up, like when Ced Wilson took him out in ‘05, but I actually like the guy’s personality….he should be alright on NBC.
If you get the impression that most NFL players I wanna see go down are New England Patriots, you would be correct.
He doesn’t play in the NFL, but I’d like to punch Al Sharpton in the face….I can’t STAND that guy….combo of being a lying sack of _, full of _, yet so self-righteous all at the same time.
By the way, I’ve written a bit on “Rooting for Injuries” which I maintain a real fan must do, not personal, just seeking a competitive advantage. Anyone NOT happy when Carson Palmer went down in the ’05 WC game? By the way, I could not believe that after that injury, serious as it was, he left the stadium and went HOME before halftime, with his team holding a 10-point lead, watched the rest from this E-Z Boy. Way to be a leader, Carson?
Put Carson Palmer on this list.

OK Babe, you can stop now
Last I heard from you, you were running away from this confrontation(scroll down) as quickly as possible. I have now read all of your comments about the Steelers both here and at Stampede Blue, and have arrived at the conclusion that you don’t actually believe any of your “arguments” and are just attempting to incite an angry reaction from the same Steelers fans you must be so jealous of. I’ve encountered a lot of people like you(albeit with slighty better taste in sports teams) at school. They crave, for whatever reason, the attention of others, even if it has a negative impact on them. There is just no way you are being serious. If you are, then the cynical light in which I view humanity has just dimmed that much more.

Sorry but its true. I’ve never seen someone say the stuff he does and actually believe it, but I think he does. True, he wants to incite anger (hell, maybe hes trying to get banned from every SB Nation site) but at the same time hes blinded himself by arrogance and ignorance.
He doesn’t make valid points.
Any “facts” he brings up are irrelevant or not facts at all.
Anything you say to him will be rebuttled with “Stealer, wiener, Rottenburger (clever by the way), Shittsburg” or some other asinine name calling.

Joe Nedney
I would personally really like to punch this guy in the face. Remember the 2003 Playoffs. Dewayne Washington got flagged for “running into the kicker” on a miss and Nedney made the ensuing FG attempt to beat the Steelers 31-34 in OT. Replays showed Washington clearly did not make contact with Nedney and that Nedney simply fell. If the games outcome wasn’t enough, Nedney and coach Jeff Fischer then laughed about the dive in the post-game news conference. As you can see, I still haven’t gotten over this one.

Five I DON'T want to hit
1. Jerry Jones – if I hurt him he might let someone else take over the Cowboy’s draft and his replacement might do a decent job rather than the joke drafts that Jerry has inflicted upon the Boys since Parcells skipped town.
2. Tony Romo – if he gets hurt then another QB might win a playoff game for the Cowboys.
3. Al Davis – If I hit him, he would sue me. Plus, he’s so old he might die on the spot.
4. Ray Lewis – I would punch him, but then he would MURDER me!

Bengals fan's list
When you get to know me you will find that I am not a hater. I understand why you would want to punch Chad (sometimes I do too) and TJ. You guys won’t like this but here is my list:
5. Hines Ward
4. Hines Ward
3. Hines Ward
2. Hines Ward
1. HINES WARD
I respect his toughness and ability. I wish we had him but penalty or not his unapologetic strike to the face of Rivers deserves payback. He not only did it purposfully he gloated about it. I know and respect the fact that he understands that he is a target and still goes across the middle but he is due some payback. I promise you that he will receive some extra attention this year in spite of Marvin’s orders not to. If the same thing happened to you guys you would feel the same way – and don’t even start to say things like “it was a legal hit” or “he wasn’t head hunting” He was, you know it and I do not expect anything but support for him from you. This isn’t smack. I’m just telling you how I and many Bengal fans feel. This year Rivers and all other D players will be watching Ward at all times and I predict that he will leave at least one of our games early.

If one of your WRs layed out one of our LBs and broke his jaw…
That LB needs to watch where he was going, but we absolutely would despise whoever laid the hit. It’s a great hit, and we can argue (but please don’t, it’s boring) about whether it was a clean hit, but it was definitely a hit/block with intent to cause serious pain, and anytime you intend to cause serious pain a serious injury can occur. I certainly understand where bengals fans are coming from…that being said. Hines Ward is still the man in steelers eyes, and…the amount of time that players, not fans, have said that Ward will leave a game early and he hasn’t are getting pretty up there. I wouldn’t count on it.

A Colts fans top 5
5. Mike Vanderjagt- For all the dumb f***** comments he made, he missed as many crucial field goals. I’ll never forget him calling out the Patriots just days before the 2004 AFC divisional showdown. Saying that they were not as good as they used to be? Well i guess losing 24-14 in the AFC championship the prior year is not bad, but then losing 20-3 is pretty bad. I guess they WERE as good huh Mike? Ass hole. Way to miss the field goal against the Steelers too!!!! a week later, goes on Letterman and nails a 46 yarder in street clothes like a piece of cake. Chokes when the game matters most and calls out Manning and Dungy.
4. Osi Umenyiora/ Bart Scott/ LenDale White- Just seem like complete douches. Umenyiora has a bit of an attitude problem. Bart Scott thinks he IS god, cool it down, you’re not that great. White just doesn’t have an off switch. Thinks he’s the next Jim Brown. Attitude prblem as well.
3. Philip Rivers- Yaps is mouth all the time. Calls out Jay Cutler and tells his own crowd to “shut the f*** up”???? Philip sure knows how to get someone pissed off. I understand that if fans are displeased with you Philip and i guess i understand flicking off the Raider fans, they do get pretty rowdy and drunk anyway. But he really thinks he’s the bomb, he’s got a long way to go.
2. Brandon Marshall/ Thomas Jones- Never been a fan of Thomas Jones. His blaming of Brett Favre for the losing skid at the end of last season really showd how much of an ass he really is. Quickly pointing the blame finger on Favre, Jones negates the fact that he averaged less than 3 yards a carry during that losing skid himself. He seems like a jerk, but i guess i’m a little biased. Brandon Marshall was apparently a serious reaosn why Darrent Williams was killed. An argument transpired between him and one of the members of that group that killed Williams. He speaks very loudly for someone who’s had a few solid years at best, and thinks he is the best receiver in the league. I don’t undertsand why he can’t stay out of trouble????
1. Joey Porter- By far the easiest choice on the list. He’s the clear cut winner. “Thug” like no other. He invented the definition. ALWAYS has something to say. I like that he is open and everything. But he might have the loudest mouths in the NFL. Can’t forget his senseless jumping of Levi Jones at a black jack table. Calls everyone soft. Never shuts it. Calls out people like no other. Admire that he backs it up, but talks too much to keep up.
Honorable mention
*Bob Sanders- although he is one of my favorite players, seems to be VERY cocky at times and over celebrates. Acts a little over touch sometimes, but hits like very few.
*Terrell Suggs- is so dumb it’s almost funny. With his claim of the bounty of Hines Ward, but at the same time, denying it just a few days later. Claiming that the people “misunderstood”
*Ryan Clark- he’s a borderline dirty player. Same with James Harrison. Go a bit too far sometimes. Like the yougness and hard hitting, but crosses the line occasionally.
*Rodney Harrison- Dirty Rodney retired so he is off this list as of right now. He is a hard hitter, but has had many questionable incidents on the field throughout his career.
*Peyton Manning- I LOVE HIM. I’m a colts fan, and i love him. But no one evades the blame better than him. Thrwoing the o-line under the bus after the loss to the steelers in the playoffs a few years back really left me to wonder, why didn’t he assign better protection and/or why didn’t he perform better when he had time to throw the ball?!?!
Now i know his audibles get annoying but watching him orchestrate that (and it works) is mesmerizing. He is a jerk sometimes, so he gets some of this list.
*Shawne Merrimen- I don’t get his getting upset that he didn’t get defensive player of the year 2006. He took steroids, and h sure has an obnoxious dance and the rest of his team does too.
- Terrell Owens- He is a cancer. Always wants the ball, always blames the QB for not getting him the ball, but look at it like this, after a 3 and out in a frustrating game, do you want someone in your ear yelling at you to get him the ball? He can play, but he sure as hell demands the ball a lot too. Throw it to me when i’m triple covered? Yeah right T.O.
*Chad Ochocinco- LOVE HIM. but he gets over dramatic sometimes. He is a bit arrogant sometimes too, but none of his antics are mean hearted. Not a jerk, just annoying if you hate him. Luckily i don’t, and i love him. He’s good in my books.
That’s my list, good luck to everyone’s teams

I love Joey Porter, but only because the team backed him up. He ran his mouth but we won. I can totally understand hating him.
Ryan Clark hits hard, he’s in the league because he tries to take your head off, that’s part of football. Always has been. He’s involved in bad hits because they will happen if you hit that hard. He doesn’t try to hit illegally, he tries to maim people legally.

You are the first Colts fan I have ever encountered that actually put some of the loss on Peyton. All the other ones soley blame Vanderjerk. Yet none of them have an answer when I ask them why didn’t Peyton hand the ball off and get a few yards closer for the FG attempt.
I actually don’t hate Peyton, I just wish he would say “no” to an endorsment every now and then.

I think you only watched the superbowl if you think James Harrison is a dirty player. That is the first time I’ve seen him do anything questionable…he spends most of the game playing against people blatantly breaking the rules and playing “dirty”. It’s tough to see him getting labeled as such. Short temper? Yes. Dirty player? Not really.

I didn’t put Kimo on the list because IMO he really didn’t intend to injure Carson and there is indication that he was blocked into him. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. It is a tough and dangerous game. That is why girls don’t play it. Many of the Bengal faithful do not agree with me but in my view he had his legs partially taken out from under him and fell low and Carson just didn’t see him. He also showed genuine remorse. He knew Carson personally and as I undersatnd it they were friends. I think we had a real shot to win that game and it still pains me to watch it but I have to be understanding here.
No I do not want to start an argument here. This horse has been beat to death. I will say that Ward hit Rivers in the head when he wasn’t looking and broke River’s jaw just to try for a “Sport Center Moment”. Great player – tough guy – cheap shot artist. I would say this even if he were a Bengal and hit Troy. It Caldwel hit Troy with the same hit, broke his jaw and put his career in jeopardy you guys would be up in arms. To be honest I hope he doesn’t become a target for us or anyone else. Two wrongs do not make a right. He knows what he did was wrong and a lot of people have lost respect for him as a person. As many people will remember him as a dirty player rather than the excellent player he is – and that legacy will follow him. That is punishment enough IMO. Kimo will also be remembered as the guy who almost ended Csrason’s career and he doesn’t have the rep of being a great player to offset it.

I only know what I saw.
Like I said this has been discussed over and over and is beating a dead horse. According to Rivers, who is the only one in a position to know, he felt the jaw go as a direct result of the blow – not the ground. Hey, it is the past,. It is what it is and play will continue. Lets just play ball and what will be will be.
To clarify, I don’t see any problem with putting a hurt on a guy. That is part of the game. The object should be to to make a guy think before challenging you – I get it. But it should also be not injuring another player is possible. Sometimes it is counter productive as well. I remember an unneccessary big hit by Ray Lewis on TJ . TJ just got up and Ray hurt his shoulder and lost several weeks of play. I think the Ravens went 4 & 12 that year. Hurt – a guy misses as series or two or maybe the rest of the game but can come back next week to compete again. Injured means a fellow player has his career jeopardized. All Ward had to do was give Rivers a push as Rivers was not a threat to the ball carrier anyway. He wanted the big hit. Now guys want his head – not just Bengals either. Accidents happen but they should be accidents not intentional. I can’t believe that any fan wants that – even for an opponent. It can spiral out of control and the next thing you know great players like Carson, Ben, Troy, Rivers and, yea, even Ward are thru before their time because of some thing stupid. That is a loss to all fans. As much as I hate you guys on game day I still love to watch guys like Troy and Ben work. Hell I root for the Bengals and then the Division and last year I rooted for the Steelers because it is a much greater credit to beat the best. If by some miracle the Bengals win the division we can say we beat the best. The Superbowl Champs. I am proud to this division and IMO the Begals just could be one of the teams to beat in the next few years.

As fans
It doesn’t really matter how we want a player to act. They are going to play the way they have always played. Hines makes his own decisions and knows that he has to live with the consequences of his actions. Clearly he believes in putting as big of hits as possible on defenders. Perhaps some of that comes from the fact that he knows he’s not the biggest or fastest and so he tries to overcompensate in other areas? Perhaps not? Only Hines knows for sure.
I personally don’t believe he is intentionally trying to injure anybody, but maybe he is. Football is a contact sport, and big hits are a part of the game. They are often game changing plays because of the excitement they generate and the fact it can and does incite fan bases to become even louder and more involved in the game. Every player in the league knows the risk of playing football and has to expect that they will be blindsided at some point in time during their careers.
Most don’t like seeing a player seriously injured, but it’s part of the inherent risk when playing the game. It’s part of the reason the monetary rewards are so outlandish. I’m sorry Rivers got injured. He is certainly entitled to want to get payback on Hines. Perhaps that is Ward’s motivation – knowing that he is now inside Rivers’ and others’ heads to the point they are focusing more on him than they are on their duties and responsibilities on the field.
Hines will always be beloved by Steelers fans for the simple fact he plays every down as hard as possible and truly enjoys the game. Trying to convince our fan base that Hines is a cheap shot artist isn’t likely going to happen. The majority of his hits have been deemed legal by the league. The ones that aren’t have resulted in penalties and fines for him and his team. Those are the rules of the game and the players and fans alike have to accept that.

I can accept that
Lets just play ball. Lets fight for the win and the hope that every player can come back next week and play again. Root for your team during the season, your division during the playoffs and you conference during the SB.
