I wasnt talking about the trade there in that last one, I was talking about my prospects of Berrian vs Holmes, 2 guys that were on Walts roster as of a few days ago.

Theyre 2 different things, trust me. :)

Why should I trust you? Because you're an expert and the rest of us are dipshits? Seriously dude,I don't give a shit about your dimestore predictions. Keep that shit to yourself.

capt. scotty · Sep 04, 2009, 12:16 AM

I predict the Steelers are that much more dangerous because we finally have a return man that not only we can count on, but has the goods.

Stefan Logan is like the CFL import of Darren Sproles. You cant teach vision like that.

EDIT: we should have a contest how many "shits" someone can put into a post. oh, the hostility is killin me.

God, I hope the steelers fail miserably this year and knock you off your highhorse.

Here's my prediction: the steelers won't win it all and Capt Headdy will still be a complete jackass. (Now THAT'S a safe prediction!)

Tom Brady is the only reason why the steelers won last year. Not the steelers fault, but I'll always put an asterisk by the last superbowl. ;)

I will not capitalize the S in steelers this year, I think AMD come up with that idea. 8-)

capt. scotty · Sep 04, 2009, 12:48 PM

Im on a high horse because I think the team that won the super bowl last year will once again contend after losing no major players and filling to glaring weakness (punter and return man)? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Barring injury to Roethlisberger, or like 5 injuries to other key starters, theyll be right there contending with San Diego, Tennessee, Baltimore, and New England.

I actually dont see any of those teams faltering enough to not make the playoffs. I think the AFC's playoff teams are pretty predestined.

Tom Brady getting hurt on my birthday was a gift from the gods.

Why do you like the Cheaters so much, Walt?

I didn't know Walt was a fan of all the 70s steelers teams. If you think they're weren't some steroids bouncing around that lockerroom you're crazy. Talk about cheaters and asterisks.

And again, finding joy in someone else's injury is low. I'd rather a coach film a walkthru than have a lineman intentionally takeout a star QB's knees. They may teach sports in Shittsburgh but apparently class is not on the curriculum.

Has any evidence or proof ever come out about the Steelers and roids? I dont think so, but I would guess a good amount of players probably were using them. Still, youre point doesnt have much merit because if that was the case, they were almost certainly in every other locker room. Its not like they were chemically engineering steroids in the steel mills around here and the Steelers were the only team with access to them. Baseball of the 90's was basically football until their drug policy was enforced. Do the Yankees get asterisks for their WS of the 90's because their juiced up players were better than the other teams juiced up players? Dont think so.

If there's anyone I didnt mind seeing injured, its Brady. The guys a smug asshole who for the last 5 years has thought he was the greatest thing on the planet, and since 2007 basically thought he was invincible. He doesnt get any more sympathy from me since he gets to go home to Gisele every night either.

And if youre talking about this play as intentionally trying to injure a QB, youre funnier than I thought. You sound like a Seahawks fan still crying and calling us the Stealers.

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Steelers will be even better than last year. Better offense and better special teams. Defense will be just as good.
Any bickering is just nonsense. Like I said to AMD before, show me the proof the steelers did steroids, than make an argument. Any other shit talk is irrelevant, it's all just jealousy. Steelers mean A LOT to Pittsburgh, we're genuine fans through and through. Talk shit all you want, we have six rings and you don't.
The Bungles are a bad organization, thats the only thing you can really blame on. They're right up there with Detroit as far as I'm concerned. Just get over it and admit it. The Bucco's might suck but that doesn't mean I'm gonna hate on the Cardinals. We know its because of poor management/ownership, we deal with it the right way. It's not our fault we have great ownership and leadership with the Steelers. The Bungles continue to draft players with character issues, :-? why is that?
Walts, I know you were just kidding around with your post, I just wanted to get that off my chest. Steelers are easily the favorites to win the Super Bowl again, regardless of what the Cheatriots do.

Ok, this is still killing me, because it's so fucking stupid and I could still poke plenty of holes through this argument.

If your two statements are "two different things" as you claim then you are admitting that the two statements are not related in the context we were discussing. So my reading comprehensions was actually spot-on, what was lacking was the validity of your argument.

Also, the thing those two statements had in common was Berrian and my reply was "I think we know how you feel about Berrian", not "the trade". So I just wanted to point out again that your logic is faulty and often contradictory, I'm only trying to make sense out of nonsense and trying to get you to shut the fuck up.

And yes, I realize you are likely just trying to troll me but part of me thinks you really are that dumb and could use a education from someone who grew up in a town where sports weren't the ONLY thing we cared about.

aMillionDreams · Sep 05, 2009, 07:16 AM

No proof?! How about admissions of guilt from those who have the most to lose from the truth coming out? There have been admissions from several players from the 70s, including Terry Bradshaw, and not one steeler has come out to say these guys are lying. So what's that? A coincidence? You all are more ignorant than I thought, and that's saying something!

http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports/columnists/hyde/blog/2009/01/steelers_and...

QuoteWebster admitted taking steroids, though he said it wasn't much. Furness's brother has gone on record saying Steve took steroids. Jim Haslett waded into a controversy a few years ago when he talked about the use. One player on the Steelers in that era told me a few year ago that needles were, "everywhere around that team."

So the fact they took steroids is certain.

http://grg51.typepad.com/steroid_nation/2008/06/so-terry-bradsh.html

QuoteIn a freewheeling radio interview with Sports Illustrated's Dan Patrick last week, Bradshaw said he used steroids for healing purposes as a member of the vaunted Steeler teams of the 1970s, and that a doctor administered the injections.

http://grg51.typepad.com/steroid_nation/2006/07/curse_of_the_st.html

Quote ...Courson wrote that 75 percent of the Steelers' offensive linemen took steroids at one time or another and would sit around as a group discussing their usage the way other men might discuss their wife or girlfriend, a night at the bar or a good hunting trip.

QuoteNew Orleans Saints coach Jim Haslett says he used steroids when he starred as a linebacker in the early 1980s, and claims the Pittsburgh Steelers' use of the drugs during Super Bowl championship seasons in the 1970s brought steroids into vogue around the NFL.

Then there's the book written by Steve Courson (former steelers linebacker) entitled False Glory: Steelers and Steroids. Great title!
http://www.amazon.com/False-Glory-Steelers-Steroids-Courson/dp/0681411872

And there is more proof out there if you are interested in learning more about cheaters and superbowl rings that should come with an asterisks. I guess books and "facts" aren't really as "big" as sports in steel town.

Denying steroid use, reveling in other players injuries, yeah that's something to really be proud of. You two represent your city so well (or, I suppose I should say accurately).

.Walt · Sep 05, 2009, 10:23 AM

This is the time I wish I actually had a team to cheer for. I love the passion fellas, but it looks like I have more asterisks to put on championships. AFC North, big ups for passion!

You fail to include this quote from one of your articles:

Haslett said Thursday that when he played in the NFL, steroid use was rampant because the league had no policy banning such drugs. The NFL has since attacked the problem, he said. "That's because it wasn't illegal then,"

I don't see how you can call them cheaters if it wasn't even illegal back then.

capt. scotty · Sep 05, 2009, 12:14 PM

Exactly, thats why I said I think they probably were using whether there was proof or not, but it doesnt really matter when everyone else was using as well. I dont blame baseball players at all for using steroids when 90% of the league was using them. I would be too if I was in that situation probably.

And of course the bungals arent going to come out and say they were taking Roids when they were going 6-10 in the 70s. People in cincy would think "well WTF did we suck so bad then?!"

I didnt know they actually were legal though, True. Thats priceless and makes it totally irrelevant ;D

You can stuff your asterisks in a sack and put em in the attic

I kind of want to keep the Pens one, but okay. I dont think were going to lose after the Lendale and Bullock Terrible Towel abuse.

We'll keep it short, then. If TN wins, I get to pick your avatar. If Pitt wins, you get to pick my avatar, but we can change it back on Monday after the game so the loser will only have to sport the avatar from Friday to Sunday. Bet?

capt. scotty · Sep 06, 2009, 01:01 AM

If you win, ill sport your Titan-affiliated avatar, if I win you sport my Steeler-affiliated avatar.

Lets do until the monday after week 2, so 10 days or something.

corey · Sep 06, 2009, 11:43 AM

So, longer than I thought then? Deal.

MAN!!!!!!!!! I don't come on the board for quite some time and shit heats up! WOW. You would think somebody said something about somebody's momma!!!! And to think the season hasn't even started.

That being said, all in good jest, aMD my team would like to extend our balls and invite you to a teabag party. ;) CHAMPIONSHIP!
