Agreed. They're the same type of fan who loved the 49ers in the 80s, the Cowboys in the 90s, and the Patriots/Steelers since around 2000 on.BR1986FB;1330185 wrote:I have no issue if they are transplants from Pittsburgh originally and have ties.

Yeah, for me, I have Cleveland friends. I'll be hard-pressed to say much of anything nice about the Browns (although I'm real good at talking to them about team flaws that need corrected FOR HOURS). I don't have an issue with the Indians or Cavs and can watch those games with them and be positive towards them (so I'm not THAT GUY when hanging out, at least)...but actually legit cheering for those teams...not bloody likely.BR1986FB;1330183 wrote:My whole point is that if you know enough about the Cleveland/Pittsburgh rivalry, you'd never root for a team of the opposite city. To say "well I'm a Pittsburgh fan (football) but I'm also a Cleveland fan (basketball/baseball). It just doesn't work that way. That being said, here's breakfast....
Exactly! Now that's what I like to see....good old fashioned loyalty to your city and hatred for the opponent city. A lot of younger guys just don't get it because they chase players and root for a team because of certain players. It's unfathomable, if you know the past between these teams, to root for both cities.Heretic;1330366 wrote:Yeah, for me, I have Cleveland friends.

Our defense and 8 turnover says differentlyhasbeen;1329042 wrote:It certainly wasn't a bitch slapping.

This game showed one bad, bad bad team barely beat a team with a 3rd string QB and 8 turnovers, and if not for a quick whistle just north of the 2 minute warning the steelers would have had 50 yards to go to win the game.
but I imagine they woulda turned it over again anyways...
but hey..a win is a win. I wish the steelers woulda won in the same fashion.
On the scoreboard, it was not a "bitch slapping" but physically, the Browns beat up on them at their own game.thavoice;1331199 wrote:Um a bitch slapping is a blowout.

Browns have been good at injuring steelers last few years. Rashsama Mendenladen, Rapistberger last season.BR1986FB;1331297 wrote:On the scoreboard, it was not a "bitch slapping" but physically, the Browns beat up on them at their own game.
Aren't Pitt and WVU rivals? Wouldn't that be the same as saying you like OSU and UM, or Texas and Oklahoma, or Duke and UNC?Gblock;1329863 wrote:pitt, wvu and michigan in cfb

+1. The thread gets back on topic, and mr. "I overstep my boundaries as a mod" has to bring back that argument that has long been completed. Funny how he steps in to bring things back on discussion, yet he can get off topic any time he wants. Still a fail mod, nothing new.Commander of Awesome;1331312 wrote:Try and stay on topic please.

Agreed. Full disclosure, being from Youngstown I went to some Penguins games when I was younger. Never rooted for them though, moreso I really enjoyed watching hockey live. I would go to games generally to see other teams' players: Forsberg with Avalanche, Federov with the Red Wings. Plus Lemieux and Jagr were fun to watch. But I could never be a fan because I HATE Pittsburgh.BR1986FB;1330376 wrote: It's unfathomable, if you know the past between these teams, to root for both cities.

You're right, most are. But my dad is from Strongsville and I'm a CLE fan til I die. Surprisingly, all of my hometown buddies are CLE fans too. I don't think I'm friends with an actual Steelers fan.Commander of Awesome;1331587 wrote:And you're not a pittspuke honker? Interesting, most ppl from Pittsburgh (bandwagoners) try and tell you everyone from there aligns with the steelers.
Nice to see you surrounding yourself with the right type of people. See you are even going to law school. There is definitely a correlation to this.lhslep134;1331602 wrote:You're right, most are.
