BTSC Steelers Daily Six Pack- MJD Can Do Better Edition
by Frank Mineo (DYMS) on Aug 6, 2009 3:08 PM EDT
Email
PrintIX- I don't usually like to call out people for incorrect information because quiet frankly I make my fair share of mistakes and will sadly probably continue to do so. I also hate the fact that the person I am calling out is somebody that I actually enjoy reading, but it has to be done. Matthew J. Darnell a.k.a. "MJD" from Yahoo's Shutdown Corner half-assed an article on the Steelers and I feel like complaining. MJD has been doing an offseason progress report of every NFL team and I have been waiting patiently to see what he has to say out my Pittsburgh Steelers. Unfortunately his article was just standard run of the mill stuff carbon copied stuff that contained at least a few major errors, for example:
The Steelers did draft a tackle by the name of Kraig Ubrik in the second round, and my guess is that he'll be asked to contribute at some point in 2009.
Really? Kraig Ubrik? In the second round? It was actually Kraig Urbik who was drafted and it was in the third round.
Larry Foote's a quality player, but you know the Steelers. There's some anonymous linebacker who's been riding pine and playing special teams for the past three years who will step in this season and make the damn Pro Bowl. I can't tell you who he is, but he's there. The Steelers always have that guy.
How bout the guy who was a 2007 first round draft pick and who split time with Larry Foote last season? Perhaps this unknown Lawrence Timmons will have a decent year in Pittsburgh. Also, he included Verron Haynes as a free agent loss and I don't think he has been on the roster since 2007. And finally, could he of picked a picture that made Ben Roethlisberger look any more effeminate? Come on MJD, you can do better.
X-Now that I am done complaining about MJD I am going to go ahead and link one of his articles about the guy who has been stalking and writing threatening letters to future Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis, along with the NFL Hall of Fame, Commissioner Goodell. This article from the Detroit Free Press goes into some more details, but the man who was hand writing the letters to Bettis once wrote the following about Bettis and his family:
"We do not want to have a gunfight with them but if we have to, we will,"
XIII-I always knew deep down that Snoop Dogg really wasn't a die hard Steeler fan. Snoop is always seen sporting his Steeler apparel, but after today I think he should be forced to relinquish all Steeler gear immediately. Today Snoop Dogg visited the Baltimore Raven's training camp and huddled up and rallied up the players according to Mondesis' House. Traitor!
XIV-Troy Polamalu is a warrior on the field throwing his body around with no concern for his safety every Sunday he suits up. In this article with Scott Brown from the Tribune Review he states that he really doesn't like competition despite his propensity to play 100% on every play. I have put a video from the Tribune below as well.
XL-The whole Darnell Stapelton knee injury has brought to light the one quirk that seems to bother people about Mike Tomlin more than anything else, his secrecy regarding injuries. He is much more Bill Belicheck in his approach to injuries than Steeler Nation is accustomed to and it seems to me he is only getting more and more secretive when in regards to players' injuries. The article also states that their are at least two Steeler players who have the New Orleans Saints logo tattooed on themselves.
XLIII-Some BTSC housekeeping issues, if your not already following Behind the Steel Curtain on twitter please do so now, to get the latest breaking news from the best Steelers blog in the universe. Also, if you haven't already purchased your copy of the Maple Street Press Steelers Annual make sure you pick up a copy here or wait to catch it shortly at your local retailer like Barnes and Noble.

The Steelers are currently negotiating with this guy for an extension. Sigh…

"The message is I am going green," said Reed. "Since the environment is a big issue, everyone is doing their part, and I am doing it with the backpack. I am going green, even though it is pink."
I’m not dissing taking care of the environment or anything, but the phrase “going green” was cliche about two years ago, and empty displays of environmentalism like wearing backpacks to “raise awareness” have been cliche for a lot longer than that. The only thing that would be worse is if he had a tatoo that said “courage” on his side…

Classic line
“I am going green, even though it is pink.”
This is the kind of person we need kicking out of the mud and through the wind at Heinz Field: a crazy man who goes green even though it is pink. All we need to do is offer him a new contract and say: “We’re giving you a raise, even though it’s less money. Not only that, but we’ll give you a new pink backpack every year.”
I like Ben’s tattoo and especially where he put it. He’ll be reminded how much courage he needs every time someone’s helmet hits him right between the C and the O.

What’s up people? Is anyone here feeling a little insecure about their masculinity?
Pink back-packs, flipped wrists. What next?!? Tight pants? Sweaty men tangled rolling around on the ground together? Men slapping each other’s assess? Men bent over other mens behinds with their hands in between their legs!
You see I am, all for gay jokes.
But I like it when they are told by gay people or at least people who love gay people.
Same goes for Jewish jokes. Absolutely love them. Laugh my ass off. I don’t know if I would chuckle if they were being told by Mel Gibson or some of the guys I met in rural Pennsylvania though. You know it’s just like David Chapelle is really funny. But I am not sure that Strom Thurmond could get away with telling black jokes. And don’t tell me that Strom loved black people. I know he did as evidenced by his illegitamte black child. There are also plenty of people making gay jokes who may be a little less then straight.
You see the real problem is that there are a ton of places in this country where people get fired for being gay. There are people who put their lives on the line for this country who are thrown out of the army for being gay. There are people who spend their whole lives taking care of their partner and then watch in horror as their partners estranged parents (who disowned their own child for being gay) bar them from visiting their dying lover in the hospital.
And yes, there are still places in this country where you can get beat up or be killed just for being gay.
Now, I am sure that most if not all of the people making gay jokes on this blog are coming from good place and that you just view these jokes as a harmless laugh. I am sure many of you have gay friends or relatives and that you have nothing but love for them. I am sure that none of you support institutionalized discrimination against gay people let alone beating them up.
But as long as people are suffering so much for their sexuality, it just seems to me that there is something off-key about the jokes. I recognize that these are the same jokes that most of us (myself included) have made with our buddies at one point or another. But I think there is something different in putting them up on the blog.
We don’t see any Jewish, Mexican or Black jokes on this blog. In fact when someone made some weak racist anti-Mexican remarks on the blog last season they basically got their ass handed to them by pretty much everyone on here.
I feel like we keep having this conversation. Someone makes a gay joke. Somebody else says we should tone it down and then a couple weeks later we are back in the same place. I am not sure what the solution is. I don’t think that someone should police the site and remove gay jokes. But I do feel compelled to say something.

I agree. And I don’t think there is anything wrong with pink – it’s a nice color and its identification with one gender doesn’t need to be constantly reinforced. And I don’t think there is anything wrong with having a kicker who can say totally out there things about going green while pink, if the ball keeps going through the uprights almost every single time. But there’s also nothing wrong with commenting about saying totally out there things. It’s probably why he says them.
thats true, you make good points.
But at the same time, my sense of humor is kind of messed up. I feel like you can make jokes about everything so long as it is about everything. True, its not very pc of me but at the same time I make fun of myself more than anything.
Basically, and I don’t know why I said anything to begin with, I don’t see anything wrong with making jokes about anything (so long as they’re not serious, but then again they wouldn’t be jokes would they?), but thats just me. I find humor to be a cure all for anything.
Now if someone is offended by said jokes then it has to stop.
SB – I have a similar beef with the increasing use of F-bombs here the past few weeks thanks in large part to a special someone who seems to post a whole host of Fanposts each day. The issue of F-bombs has been discussed, just about everyone agrees to keep the conversation civil, a few weeks later they start reappearing and sure enough, they’re now becoming common-place.
I don’t think we need a “policeman” either…and sure, we’ll have some colorful conversations from time to time. But I don’t quite follow the logic that dictates “I don’t care if this is offensive to some…I’m gonna let it fly.”
Maybe I should start dropping a few N-bombs, or perhaps I’ll start to target an ethnic group that I can issue daily slurs against. Then I’ll hide behind the old “freedom of speech banner” or just claim that I was told that it’s OK.
If they are so offended then they should not go against what is humanly right and stop liking their own sex. Its wrong to make fun of someone for their religion or skin color because it has been going on for so long. But to actually enjoy being with another sweaty, hairy guy, you are gonna get made fun off.
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
That's why I posted
I agree it’s wrong to make fun of someone for being a Ravens fan, because that’s been going on for so long. (well sort off)
But if they actually enjoy mocking people for the sexual orientation, while using the words hairy and sweaty, then they should be made fun off.

For maintaining the spelling of “fun off”.
I’m going to stay out of this conversation otherwise though, but I like dropping “F-bombs” too. I appreciate your point of view Buddha, well put as always. I’d volunteer to even out the joke ratio with mexican and jew jokes, but somehow I don’t think that’s what you are looking for.

Good gawd-
Get over yourself.
Nobody said “Hey, let’s kill some fags!”, or anything of the sort.
Seeing big, buff, masculine grown men who are presumably virile heterosexuals blow the whole image by affecting something highly effeminate and flamingly gay is just, plain FUNNY.
Before you go congratulating yourself by patting your own back with your big, strong Politically Correct hands why don’t you stop and ask yourself:
“Does anyone seriously think a few loosely-referenced gay jokes are dangerous to anyone’s well-being?”
God, but i get so sick of the new self-appointed thought police these days.
And- before you blow a gay-loving gasket: how do YOU know i’m not a flaming, raging, flamboyant homo who LOVES gay jokes?
Again: get over yourself.

If so, I need to tell this one now

A: 1431, and it involved Joan of Arc and a stake!
Of course, you’d need a working knowledge of the Hundred Years War to fully appreciate the joke.

I like to think we live in a world
Where nothing is PC. I mean come on, there are bad words? How can i word be bad? Because it sounds bad? Come on. I like to keep a tell it like it is attitude, especially when it comes to things I am passionate about. Its hard holding back sometimes when the adrenaline is pumping.
But come on. Is and F-bomb really that bad? I for one really enjoy Swissvales posts where he doent let anything back, because thats how it should be. If i was in a bar sitting down having a beer with anyone here, I wouldnt hold back the profanity. Being PC is just avoiding being yourself at times. Not saying that i was to use the F word every second word in a sentence, but i shouldnt say it and then have to look over my shoulder because some person waving a stick tells me its not ok
People take stuff way too seriously. As for Buddhas post, we all have people we know in the world who are different. It doesnt change who they are as a person. There are always people who will hate you for different reasons. That being said, Homosexual men who insist on talking like girls always get under my skin. I thought if you were a gay man, you liked men, so why do you act like a girl, if gay guys are supposed to like men, and not girls?
Anyways, sometimes everyone needs to sit back and laugh at themselves every now and then is my main point.

This is a great quote about Steeler LBs. Most football fans, except die-hards and Steelers fans know nothing about Timmons or other backup LBs, so it would appear that they do appear from nowhere.
My guess
Is the author is aware of exactly your point and, when Timmons has a monster season, he can dig up his quote and sound clairvoyant.

My thoughtage
Yeah MJD made a valid point.. But of course his omission of Timmy is retarded. He must not have had his coffee or something that day.
The New Orleans logo is a rather commonly used symbol. So the tattoo could just be a coincidence.
You gotta be a real asshat to be hating on Jerome Bettis.
We are establishing a pretty high new orleans contingent. I think it is pretty likely that kids growing up in new orleans playing football will end up with that sort of tatt.
Willie Colon doesn’t get flagged because he has long arms; he gets flagged because he sucks. - cliff harris is still a punk!
The symbol is a fleur-de-lis
It is a French symbol and is more synonymous with Cajun culture than the New Orleans Saints. I know a French girl whose family’s “coat of arms” has the fleur-de-lis on it because she’s French. Another friend of mine from New Orleans has fleur-de-lis’ around his house even though he is a huge Steeler fan. It is synonymous with French/Cajun culture so the Saints adopted the symbol. It would be like saying steel mills in Cleveland are big fans of the Steelers because they use hypocycloids.

I assume the tattoo is actually a “new orleans saints” tattoo, it may very well be fleur-de-lis but I expect it says “New Orleans Saints” as well. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in new orleans, but thanks for the schooling.

Ha, just read the article. It does seem that they only have the fleur and N.O. In any event it wouldn’t bother me if kids coming up in the N.O. had a tattoo of “NEW ORLEANS SAINTS ARE THE BEST” with more colorful language, that was then.
Oh yeah, I came out sounding like a dick (like I often do), sorry about that.

I’m in New Orleans on a regular basis, tats are for the Aints. But then again, fleur de lis will probably get to the SB before the Saints.

This is from cBS reports:
Steelers rookie WR Tyler Grisham continues to impress in training camp. At one point in drills, head coach Mike Tomlin said to him, “if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll be on this team.”
There are several reasons to say something like that, but they are still strong words.

Followed by this gem:

Last one:
Steelers TE Matt Spaeth is having a good camp. He’s blocking is first rate and his pass catching has improved.

Stapleton to have arthroscopic surgery tomorrow; could be out 2 to 4 weeks or more
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09218/989127-100.stm
Ed Bouchette mentions that normal scopes have players returning in 2 to 4 weeks, but it all depends on what they find. If its routine and they don’t find anything extensive, I’m guessing he could be back before the first game of the season or shortly thereafter.
Arians said

There are few things
that Mike Tomlin does that I disapprove of, but I have to say giving Ward and Polamalu some easy down time doesn’t seem like the right approach to me.
I understand that training camp is now the best representation of how good a player is, but I would have two key vets like that running as many reps as everybody else to make sure they’re in good condition.
Still, I’ll give Tomlin the benefit of the doubt, and trust in what he’s doing.

Both the veterans need the reps. I thought Ward looked rusty last year. I thought Polamalu…okay, he looked pretty damn good. Still, I think that Tomlin is pursuing a pretty transparent agenda here. He has a serious battle going on at WR and he needs to see which receivers excel at what. Once he finds that out he can go into the pre-season games and try the them out and see if they actually have what it takes. A similar issue is going on at safety, where we know that Clark will almost certainly miss the denver game – finding out our depth at these positions is very important.
I agree with you, I don’t like the approach. However, I can see where Tomlin is coming from if he is indeed being sneaky. I’d like to see both of them practicing full time once Tomlin has a good read on the up-and-comers, but who knows if that will happen, and there is always the unfortunate potential that both are nursing minor nagging injuries.
Willie Colon doesn’t get flagged because he has long arms; he gets flagged because he sucks. - cliff harris is still a punk!
I agree with the point you made about finding the #3 WR. Hines absence conveniently allows Sweed, Wallace and MacDonald more time with the first team offense….which could almost be read as no coincidence. Ward is a great preparer, but i agree he looked a bit rusty last season. Hell be ready for the regular season though, but I want him to be in prime form come regular season, because we are going to need him big time.
Also does anyone have any news on how our backup/young safeties are going. Im not liking the idea of starting Ty Carter in Denver……
