At least five speeding tickets, a law suit in Cuba charging him with falsely testifying against a man in a human trafficking case, and the ordeal in Pittsburgh where someone allegedly broke into hsi room and tied up some woman in bed.


Speeding tickets....eh.......not huge in their entirety but is a little bit alarming considering he hasnt been around that long, and there are days and sometime a week to ten days where he is outta town.



and for the record...as long as he keeps getting guys out..........I am a fan!

We know. Steelers "fans" (yourself being a Cincinnati bandwagoner/frontrunner) have no issue supporting criminals & thugs. Such a "classy" organization the Rooney's run. :rolleyes:

I live in SE Ohio.....many Steelers fans as we aren't that far away and local stations have always showed the Steelers games. The Reds are the only MLB team for anyone around here and well....since 1983 I've rooted for the Steelers and the Reds. Frontrunner? Whatever.

Browns will always suck.

No problem. Same as it always is. Just comes as no surprise with the "be a thug ALL you want as long as you perform" coming from a Steelers fan. I know you're one of the exceptions but, for the most part, your fanbase embraces pieces of shit.

Ah, maybe things are getting TOO civil between rivals. To throw my hat in the ring:

BR, the problem I see is that whilst the fops and dandies of northeast Ohio art prancing about gaily with their mincing steps, they art ignoring the fine arts of physical combat and, therefore falling short in their endeavors of performance in the violent arts. A bit less time adjusting their pompadours while their hands flail weakly in the heat and a bit more time engaged in activity on the jousting field would do them well, but I fear they lack the fortitude to carry on such strenuous enjoyments.

The guy is a multi-millionaire who came from nothing in Cuba. While it's concerning, I'm not surprised. I kind of look at it as...he escaped...

Ironman is right. The Reds have a huge regional following across southern Ohio and into West Virginia. The Reds games have been broadcasted into these area for decades and IIRC the Reds Caravan travels to Hunington. For this reason, there are a lot of Pittsburgh Steelers/Reds/West Virginia Mountaineer fans.

The Indians pretty much have northern Ohio locked down which gives them a good piece of the state of Ohio. In addition to the areas I've mentioned the Reds have a strong contingent of fans in Southern Indiana (once you get up to Indy you are in Cubs country) and almost all of Kentucky.

Edit: I hope Chapman gets it all straightened out. He is a tremendous talent and I fear where this is all going to end up.

Ya know.....I used to get riled up when someone would bring up how I am a steeler and a reds fan and how that was even possible.

Well......as i have said before......teams you follow usually come from your childhood. I was a steelers fan because my neighbor, a kid who was a few years older than me that I looked up to, was a steelers fan. (he has since committed sports suicide and converted to a browns fan), and growing up with 4-5 tv channels we listened to the radio alot.....and reds games every single night.
I would say I became a reds fan before I even knew there was a baseball team in PIttsburgh!

It really doesnt matter.....the people that know ya dont seem to mind..it is usually just retards online who think that way
