Lol what? 

Steelers don’t have me “rattled” it’s just incredibly annoying to hear people yell for a rule change because it went against the precious Pittsburgh Steelers.  

Steelers-worst fans in the world to just admit they lost instead of blaming it on other factors. 

 

I’m not speaking on here but in my area of my life it’s Bengals fans (when they were a playoff team most years)

Also....in my same area, Steelers fans are mostly embarrassing and no little about football.

Growing up in the 80’s in SE Ohio....Browns fans were incredibly annoying, way worse than the Bengals (who were very good for a nice portion of the decade) Browns defense was great but also seemed very dirty. I guess thinking back a common thing among some of the great defenses is a seemingly dirty, try to maul you tackler or 3. I thought Browns were dirty then....looking back now I just think how loaded and great they were and how the hell they never won it all.

We've been down there quite a bit lately, going to Wheeling Isle. Pass Cabela's all the time. Driving to that casino seems a little iffy to me. There's a Burger King on the corner where we turn to go to the casino and it always looks like there's a "deal" going down under the bridge behind the Burger King across from that cigarette place that is all over WV. Always tapping my foot waiting for that light to turn green, waiting to get carjacked late at night.

Why would you go to that casino when you have much better options in PA? That place has gone to shit, a total cesspool. Abbey's is a good restaurant on the island though, that's about it. 

Those people under the bridge are just bums. They don't have the sack or know-how to properly carjack someone lol

Also Ironman, are you also from the Valley?! How did I not know this.

Only time we go there is if we hit something at the Meadows we'll zip down there (30 minute trip) because they send me a lot of free play. Otherwise, we're not making a trip specifically to go there.

Do you all think the NFL will have chips in the ball for goal line and 1st down plays before MLB will have computer called balls and strikes?

On the end of the steelers game I'm wondering why the 2nd down play was not reviewed, the 2nd down between the over ruled TD and the interception.  Seemed to me the receiver going for the sidelines lost the ball when he hit the ground and it was the same or less time between when the ball hit his hands and the collision with the ground compared to the one that was over ruled.

I’m about 2 1/2 hours from there. I sit here about 40 miles from WV and also Kentucky.

The footballs already have chips in them, and the field is a giant grid of XY coordinates, but as of now they can't do Z, which is a huge hold-up in the technology.

The chips would solve very little I believe.    

Steelers still seething and it's time to let it go.  They coild very easily lose this one against the texans   I'll never forget the Steelers, a 2 td favorite, losing by 3 scores at home to the texans even though the Steelers gave up less than 50 yards total offense to the texans.  Most bizarre game and stat line I've seen....out gained them by over 400 yards

Considering how easily they can track the path of a baseball in all MLB parks, I'm surprised they haven't figured this out yet.

Dalton to start afaik.  

McCarron will probably finish either because of injury or blowout.

The baseballs are being tracked by a special camera. Fixed location and can look for specific things. Similar to the shottracer in golf.

NFL is tough cause of the moving First Down yard. Now, goallines could be used fairly easily, but the speed of which relaying a crossing would need ironed out. It would definitely solve the plays where they can't see the ball line on a first a goal halfback dive and shit.

Fucking ravens get away with a mugging to end the Colts game tonight. The NFL sucks. Dumb calls that aren’t penalties and no flags when there is obvious PI.

Just could not get into the Saturday games....Army and SDSU was the game of the day.

Some Steeler fans ranting at the release of Harrison.   Apparently he has been a little whiney bitch this season saying of he knew this what his pt was gonna be he woulda signed elsewhere.     Workout machine but wasn't producing.
