Yes Bi-racial may be in, but every time i see your smiley chipmunk face, I want to punch it. You're a dirty player and I hope you're too hurt to play in the SuperBowl. Out. p.s. - Please Raj don't ban me.

Pick your poison.
By the way, The Baltimore Sun (of all publications) disagrees with you.

Don't tell me... you're the 8th million person to jump on the Cards bandwagon?
Cards are gonna fold up like lawn chairs at the Super Bowl.
They are believing their own hype and have two weeks to think about it.
And oh... when did football get so soft? Steelers are f*cking tough, mang. Deal.
I don't know how anyone could believe the hype about the Cards. In the penultimate game of the regular season, the Pats destroyed them 47-7. It was 47-0 with three minutes left in the third quarter. If we hadn't eased off the gas, we could have dropped 60 on them, no problem.
Cards = pretenders.
At least next year, the Pro Bowl game will be played the week before the Super Bowl.
Brett Favre and the Jets put up 56 points on them! 6 touchdown passes!
I like rooting for the underdog as much as the next guy, but the Cards are toast!
I liked Ben trash talking yesterday. He said, "When Wisenhunt was here he was nothing special," or something like that.
And Rock, at least we have Sunday afternoon hockey! Although you're in Texas so you will be able to be outdoors sooner than us!
Quit hatin' on my blasian brother.
Go Steelers!
At least for a while.
Until Mr. Ward they pretty much got shit on.
Ouch. It's obvious that Ben does get along better with Bruce Ariens but wow. Surely Whis made a better OC than BA. I guess Ben wouldn't say anything to the contrary leading up to his second SB though.
Now that seems almost level-headed. I thought this was supposed to be a hate thread. Next thing, you'll be admitting that you'd have an entirely different opinion of the man if he were on your favorite team. C'mon man! Where's the hate?
Yeah, I grew up being told how grateful I should be that my parents got married--otherwise I would be an orphan working in a gas station or something.
And you want to talk playing dirty? How many times have you seen people try to grab a piece of Troy Polamalu's flowing mane? Haterz.
That is completely legal and the smart thing to do. If dude doesn't want his hair grabbed as part of the tackling process, he should secure it under his helmet.
I've heard some really bad shit.
How can people hate on a receiver that actually cares enough to put serious blocks on people?
True, I hate him because is he is good. But who says hate has to be rational?!! : )
Yes, I realize it's legal, but it also seems a little gratuitous to me, eg, picking a player off the ground by his hair.
Well, if you can only reach his hair, you're not going just let him run free, right? I don't think dudes are trying to tackle him by the hair when they could take him down with a more effective body tackle. If he's smart, he'll oil that shit up the the nth degree so dudes can't get a grip.
HW = greatest post-70s steeler, hands down
Very possible. He's broken all of the Stallworth/Swan records. He's always reliable, has remained remarkably healthy and is a real leader on the squad. You may hear some argument for Greg Lloyd on this topic, but for me it's got to be Hines.
For real? Better than The Bus?
Bettis > Lloyd. Yes, definitely. Not sure what I was thinking. Bus is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer (as will Hines). Excellent point! Both Bettis and Ward make their homes in Roswell, GA by the way!
Speaking of Bus and the HOF. His last season was 2005 but he technically retired in 2006. Does that make him eligible for the HOF in 2010 or 2011?
Also didn't you have a sick reciever in the mid-90s? Can't remember his name.
Yancey Thigpen? He does not compare to Hines at all. I would place him behind Louis Lipps (unless that's who you meant) either way....Hines trumps them.
Rod's is a great story and he'll always be a respected Steeler alum but I have a feeling that if PGH can keep some of the young DBs they have now, Woodson's legacy will not hold up to time. Plus, Deshea Townshend is wearing Woodson's number. While the Steelers don't really retire jerseys (there has been only one), the equipment manager has held a long standing tradition that in order to wear the number that any of the greats wore, you have to earn it. Is Deshea better than Woodson? I guess time will tell.
You tried, and remember, I was rooting for you But I guess love reigns supreme.
