Jerome Bettis a class act? Running his mouth and acting a fool after every two yard gain? Why wouldn't anyone tell him to cut the sh*t if they were a "class act".
Never mind that meathead they have a QB now.
Let me ask this. What is the Steelers record vs. Pats over last decade? Play-offs included.
Found it. The Steelers are 2-6 against NE over last decade. One of those wins was in 2008 which means no Brady. The other win was a regular season win ('05?) in which NE came back in the play-offs and pounded them.
My point...NE owns 'em.

Exactly (wink) Clemns is THE class act of the MLB. Lmao.
Plus, how do you know no Yankee was ever accused of rape?
Way back when...the ballplayers got away with things all the time.
Also, it's not that hard to figure out the Yankees pretty much BOUGHT many of the WS titles. I mean, no salary cap = the team that can buy someone, does.
The teams like KC, Milwaukee etc. don't stand a chance.
Dudes read the quote I never said the yankees were classy I said I hate the yankees. I said that calling the steelers a class act is bit of a stretch. I think that is pretty obvious to anyone not from Pittsburg. Their quarterback (the leader of the team) has been accused of rape multiple times not to mention the fact that they are leagues biggest complainer about the new NFL policy of enforcing a rule that aims to keep people from being paralyzed. Yeah they seem like a classy bunch bro. As far as the salary cap I agree that MBL has a serious flaw but it is hard to blame someone for following the rules of their sport regardless of how stupid the rules are. Its like getting mad at someone who uses and altitude chamber in distance running. Yeah its and advantage but its not against the rules so why wouldn't you give yourself every edge you can get.
how many girls did Derek Jeter rape? huh, huh? that's right, none. I've been 'caught' twice. And that's only when I've been caught
How many times was Bernie Williams cited for public intox? Jeff Reed has been at least 5 times
Our dominance is obvious, suckas. STEELER NATION

Steelers never were/are in the top 5 NFL team's payroll.
In short, the Steelers never purchased their superbowl championships.
The Yankees do not deal with a salary cap.
The Yankees are always first or second in team payroll in MLB.
The Rooney family has been considered by many professional athletes in all sports as the most 'respected' owners in ALL sports.
The Rooney family stays out of the spotlight, and leaves the coach alone.
The Steinbrenner family has made headline after headline making outrageous criticisms over and over.
They never leave the coach alone.
I feel the Steelers are a class act.
New Thread:
Apples Vs. Oranges
Oranges are so much better.
They have thicker skin.
They are citrus flavored!
They have orange skin! Apples have stupid red skin, this is such an obvious travesty to fruitdom! People are crazy if they think apples are better because of their red skin. Orange is just so much harder to pull off!
Also, you can eat way more of an orange than you can of an apple. Plus! Orange juice is way better and juicier!!!!

wtf are you doing comparing apples and oranges....

Their first four super bowls victories preceded the NFL salary cap.

Owns who?
The Steelers overall, or the Steelers since 1998?
don't forget the Steelers have been around since 1933.
The Patriots?
Want to talk about their overall record against the Steelers?
I didn't think so.
So, they own the Steelers in the last 11 years.
But for about, hmm...55 years before that...guess what?
go back to watching Uconn women's basketball. Fem.
Um, it's 14-11 in history. Not exactly overwhelming. 3-1 Patriots in postseason.

This is important to remember. The Steelers aren't even the greatest pro football franchise. Green Bay is. The Super Bowl is a fairly recent invention.

LMAO.
You skew the stats my friend.
You conveniently forgot to mention in your stats that the Packers won most of their titles (like the Yankees) when there were about 1/2 the teams there are now. And, with little or NO playoff system.
I should mention that even THEN the Yankees had the highest payroll.
The Steelers and Packers never had the highest payroll.\Ever.
Steelers were on the cutting edge of steroid use which gave them the winning advantage in the 70s.
Lee, Lincecum, and Halliday are probably the least roided up guys in the league. Do you have any idea what roids do to the body? Lincecum looks 12, and the other two have no viewable symptoms of steroid use. You sir are a doofus. If there are rampant roids being used, look at the NY and Boston teams.
Not exactly news that Tim Lincecum, Cliff Lee, Roy Halliday, Roger Clemens, etc. are suspected HGH users given their superhuman freak shows.

You're right, it goes like this:
1. Red Sox, winning or losing.
2. Whichever team is hot. Within that, it goes Celtics, Patriots, Bruins.
Bruins fans are the most hard-core, but there are not nearly as many as there are fans of other sports.
It is not true that there are no other fans north of CT, but I agree, there are FAR more Sox fans than any other.
For the guy who said Pats first, are you kidding? There are still a significant number of born and bred Giants fans in New England from when the Patriots either didn't exist or were still AFL, or just plain sucked for decades.
The Sox on the other hand made it to a whopping 4 WS in 80+ years (and lost them in painful fashion) but still were selling out routinely except when they really stunk.
As for the Yankees "buying" championships ... I hate to break it to you, that's how baseball works. Name a few teams that didn't buy it. Find me some teams that won on born and bred talent. Don't be a wuss. Baseball is a free-market sport (to a larger degree than the other major sports). This year's Giants were a huge exception.
Spot on.

Belive me, everyone was doing it, and they still are. Even in local college programs I see local kids come home blown up like balloons in 10 months.
Steelers did it with class.
Did it.
They are no more responsible for Big dorkhead Ben's actions than New England is for Brady wearing a Yankees hat in Boston (he does).
Side notes:
Art Rooney Sr. played for the Red Sox in the 1920's. Look it up. Also, in the "Dan Rooney my 75 years with the Pittsburgh Steelers" book.He also beat Sammy Mosberg in boxing and the Olympic committee asked Art Rooney to represent the USA in the 1920 Olympics. He, however, knew there was no money in it and declined. Mosberg went on to the Olympics in his place and won the gold. After a few remarks by Mosberg, Rooney challened him to a rematch, and beat him again.
Remember in those days, you did not have a standing 8 or 10 count. If you could stand, you continued.
The Steelers suck!

MLB and NFL are doped up freaks. MLB is a two city monopoly. MLB is like the Harlem Globetrotters who always beat the Washington Generals. Both leagues are fake as all hell and not sports.

So would you say Halladay's body type is fundamentally different from Pettitte? Hate to break it to you, not every steroid user ends up looking like Barry Bonds. PED use goes far beyond NY and Boston. Considering minor leaguers are getting busted, it's pretty widespread. If you think otherwise, you need to get your head out of the sand.
