*** OFFICIAL STEELERS/browns TRASH-TALKING THREAD****

[Beware the Beast Man]

Fire away...I already have.

[dkhbrit]

1. Go Steelers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all

[Bertha Venation]

2. Bill Cowher (sp?) reminds me of a guy I used to work for.

I try not to detest people I've never met, but I can't to watch Steelers' games because that man looks like the angriest, most hateful individual I've ever known. I don't know if the coach IS that way, but GAWD, my BP goes up just to see him react to, say, a dropped pass or one of his players being called for a penalty. UGH.

Go Browns!

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. He's not. He's just very intense and passionate when coaching.

He actually strikes me as a rather warm guy in some interviews. And how dare you say "go Browns!" :grr:

[Action Jackson]

12. he's nice the players LOVE HIM

I've never seen one player say a bad word about him ever. YOu have to be tough to be in football. He's not mean to the players, if he was they would complain about him.

And if you see interviews with him you see what an intelligent, rational guy he really is. How tough can he be...he was two or three daughters. He's the only man in his family!

[Beware the Beast Man]

17. To add to what you said,

I've never heard a player or former player say a bad word about him. He's extremely respected by the players and the Steeler brass. He's spent thirteen years in Pittsburgh, which in this day and age of shuffling coaches, is an eternity. He had some big shoes to fill when Chuck Noll retired, and I believe he's actually more well-liked than Noll ever was.

By the way, welcome to DU! :toast:

[Bertha Venation]

21. Okay, Beware & Action. I can accept what you've said.

But I still want the Browns to win. My middle name is UnderDAWG.

[tigereye]

13. Hey Bertha!

Cowher does seem rather petulant, doesn't he. But I would still rather see the Steelers win. ( but then I live in Pittsburgh)

[Rick Myers]

3. Go Browns!!!

There is no emoticon for 'crossed fingers!' :toast:

[Baclava]

5. Bring on the Brownstains!

[tjwash]

6. I'm calling a Steelers collapse and meltdown right now.

Same thing happened to the bolts Brees' starting season. 6-1 start, Knocking off the undefeated champs, and everyone getting awfully comfortable and arrogant. Teams studied the film, and figured out where to shut him down, and because he was a rookie QB, he didn't know how to adjust. Look for the same thing with the Steelers QB.

[Action Jackson]

14. but the steelers have a good defense

Sure a huge part of the success is Big Ben. But the defense is also part of it. The defense shut down the Patsies and Igles.

[Bill McBlueState]

7. know what sucks?

Being *married* to a Browns fan. She has the offical Browns fan strategy down perfectly.

--That's the "Project low expectations, but get all cocky when they actually win" method of being a football fan.

[Beware the Beast Man]

8. I love hearing the radio guys here cry after a Browns loss.

Monday, after they lost to the Ravens, was hilarious.

[Bill McBlueState]

9. me too, they get so pathetic

After the Steelers had their massive comeback and beat the Browns in the 2002 playoffs, I had to drive three hours from southern Ohio to my wife's parents' place in northern Ohio. I listened to WTAM 1100 the whole way.

It was like the world had ended.

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. Yep...the one guy on WTAM bitched because

They decided to carry the Steelers/Patriots game during the Browns' bye week. He claimed the Pittsburgh affiliate would never have broadcast a Browns game during a bye week. Well, he's right. That's because there are no Browns fans in Pittsburgh!

[Baclava]

19. WHO RIDE??!!

The ONLY good thing about the Clowns coming back in '99 is TWO MORE WINS FOR THE STEELERS EACH YEAR!

Screw the Shitstains.
Get the broom, finish the sweep!

(Just keep yur head up for the flying beer bottles)

[Beware the Beast Man]

20. That pic is a riot!

:hi: No pun intended.

[Action Jackson]

11. is Cowher a Bush guy?

I've always loved Bill Cowher. But in the runup to the election I tried to find out if he supported Bush or not. I would obviously now hate the guy if he supported Bush. I did several google searches and asked a few of my old Pittsburgh friends but nothing came up.

I've been a Steelers fan my whole life and this season is the only thing that has cheered me up since we lost the election. That Eagles game was the perfect medicine I needed. In fact, I wore my anti Bush shirt to the sports bar to watch the game. But I live in NYC, so there weren't any Bushies in the house.

[Beware the Beast Man]

15. I searched too, on newsmeat. No dice.

Bettis, OTOH, is a Bushie, but I give him a pass because he seems like a genuinely nice guy and does a lot of charity work.

[Action Jackson]

16. screw bettis then

ouch. that hurts that Bettis is a Bushie. But you're right. Bettis seems like such a nice, normal guy. I've always liked his friendly, personable qualities and intelligence. I guess I don't like him anymore.

I'm thinking Cowher is smart enough to not tell anyone who he supported for president.

I know the Vikings coach introduced Bush at a Bush rally just before the election.

[Beware the Beast Man]

18. Well, Butch Davis is a bushie.

And very open about it. Remember when Condi Rice showed up at Browns practice? I knew there was a reason why I hated that team...

[nolabels]

22. Come on man, any time someone gets gets past the 1 mill mark

on the paycheck they start the identity crises with themselves

Let's just leave football out of politics a least a moment...........


Okay moment over, Pit by 24

[NamVetsWeeLass]

23. Official cause this Steelers Fan had to work and

couldn't answer this thread when it was posted......
