Really, who has said rape is a miscue? What a disgrace. I guess :shit: Not like every NFL qb should be able to get almost any girl in the world to sleep with him without raping them.
it was a disgraceful comment. but the media is intent on slobbering up to ben. and the other thing is that there are alot of stupid people who get paid to talk into a microphone and they say really thoughtless things. Heaven forbid they actually tell the truth.
I'm afraid that some Jets fans are sleeping on the Steelers--this is a good fucking football team. The Jets were lucky to escape Pittsburgh with a win last time, and this game will be an even tougher challenge. I'm not saying that I expect the good guys to lose...but this isn't gonna be a cakewalk.
What media are you referring to? Chris Berman picks the Jets along with scores of other analysts. Word is Jets players are already popping the champaign. If anything, the Steelers are being disrespected.
I heard a commentator say this morning,"Steelers will win because they have too many playmakers". Huh?
espn's so called experts have 2 jets picks and 8 for pittsburgh... nfl network has 4 of 5 picking pittsburgh... most of the media acts as if troy will totally shut us down and we only won last time because he was out... im not sure what your watching but most are picking pitt
My guess is that you are one of those people who after the Steelers beat the Jets tonight won't be able to admit you actually lost and will blame the game on the refs or some other absurdity.
Ditka just sucked Polamalu's and Miller's dicks. Can someone explain to me how a guy with 27 career int in 8 seasons (you know, an average of .21 per game over 16 games), 8 sacks, and 518 tackles (average of 4 over 16 games) is talked about as he is Deion Sanders? Jesus christ the Steelers have become ovet-rated this week.
not at all.... i actually think pittsburgh will win to but the fact that so many people are picking them will just make the jets angrier... cant wait
Its not necessarily his stats that make him so good. As a Steeler fan who watches him every week, it is his impact he makes on a game. We can credit him at least 3 wins this year where he single handily made a game changing play, whether it was an int to stop Ryan in week 1, a sack and strip on Flacco that lead to us taking the lead, or the pass deflection against the Bengals that saved the game. He, has to be one of the most clutch defensive players of all time. So yes that is what the media is raving about.
You are right, he has missed 21 games. Regardless, the numbers get bumbed up slightly because of that. It's not like he averages 1 int, .5 sacks, and 10 tackles a game. He is a good football player, but the way people talk about him, you would think he is an all-time legend - which he isn't. He is a guy that plays recklessly. He sometimes makes big plays, but just as often makes stupid plays. He is not a very good tackler. And has this reputation that does not match his play. If Steeler fans want to blow Harrison, or Woodley, or the rapist, or Ward, I get it. But, they need to stop with this Heath Miller and Polamalu non-sense. Both guys will be non-factors today.
He only missed games in 4 of 8 seasons, and major games in only 1. He plays in more games than people seem to think. 2003 - 0 missed 2004 - 0 missed 2005 - 0 missed 2006 - 3 missed 2007 - 5 missed 2008 - 0 missed 2009 - 11 missed 2010 - 2 missed So, he is not exactly missing a Bob Sanders amount of games most of the time.
true but even if he isnt racking up jaw dropping stats he makes a huge impact in the way teams gameplan for him... he is a big game changer
I don't think anyone is sleeping on the Steelers; we just know that that the Jets are capable of beating them, and are optimistic that they will. I'm certainly not expecting a blowout win by the Jets (though that would be nice). In any case, it doesn't really matter if Jets fans are sleeping on the Steelers; it only matters if the Jets are sleeping on the Steelers, and they most certainly are not.
Yeah I was laughing at that too. It's as if the sports commentators are 6 months behind. Newsflash- Polamalu was awful last week. Jets were terrible against the Steelers and still won. No one ran the ball on the Steelers. Except the Jets.The O-line of the Steelers is going to be doing a raffle to get people from the stands to be back-ups. It's fine. The Steelers are part of the 'NFL elite' so there's probably some sort of punishment for not picking them. I liked Marshall Faulk's comments on the Jets though. He fully expects a Jets win.
the media seems to assume Troy is just going to create like 3 turnovers all by himself. which is why they are positive pitt will win. If I told you the Jets wouldn't turn the ball over all day, who would they pick to win then? but it doesnt matter. We just have to step up and kick their ass.
