Jealousy is not a word I like to use. It sounds too smug, I just like to say it how it is, people are just sick of seeing the Pats win, that's where most of the hatred comes from. The spy gate thing just gave you guys some more ammo. Case in point: last season, before the spy gate stuff, fans were still all over this team with hate. It really is that black and white, you can choose to deny it but it is true.
The same can be said for the Cowboys last dynasty, the Yankees, and now to a lessor extent, the Red Sox.
If it was all about high morals than most people would be hating on the Steelers right know since they seem to be harboring women beaters. Jean [hl=yellow]if I wanted to play your game I could say; "Your team and fans suck because the Steel Curtain was made up of steriod users" or "How dare you cheer for a team that highers wife beaters" or "That last Super Bowl you guys won was a joke, the Refs robbed the SeaHawks" But I don't do that Bee, because I don't give a shit.[/hl]Anyways, I'm bored with this back and forth. Spank you next season. Keep up the trash talk it's good, but hopefully by next season you will learn that stereotyping people is never a good thing.
Printing it in a post is as good as "saying it". You got it out, backdoor style I guess you could say. The Steelers organization didn't know up front about these players who've been charged.....BUT, the pats knew fully well about Mr. Moss' past, and "highered" him anyway. Believe me, if the Steelers don't get rid of those players who've been convicted of these charges, which I think they will, this gal will cheer for ONLY those players who haven't a record. I'll give you this much, "I" am not the only one who is stereotyping people. I've had to listen to pats fans call all Pittsburgh Steeler fans trailer trash,etc. Nothing to do with football, but don't criticize me calling pats fans rich,latte drinking people...I know most n.e. people aren't that way. But all of the pats fans I've met in person, and most of those on the internet, started out on me about being a "blue"collared, beer drinking, terrible towel crying Steeler fan. I took it, now I dish it out when necessary. I'm a solid fan, and I can take it. See you after the draft...looks like your pats have found a way again to squeek past their Penalty. Drafting in the first round....what a joke. At least there is some honesty in the Rooney organization. You can degrade them all you want, but most of this country knows them for the high standards they set around the nfl. Call them cheap once again, could care less. Their organization has set those standards and done their best to keep it that way. They pulled the hammer on Bens' cycling, and I know they'll hammer down on the abusers. THEY won't try to "stand by their man" at ANY cost. Just to keep the player. If they don't, then I will be the first to admit my total disappointment. I don't see that happening any day soon.
By the way, I thought you'd like to hear this story. I was at a local ice cream place in our neighborhood. During that visit I saw a HUGE,VERY sad sight. There was a homeless man with a big white beard sitting in a booth. He was having coffee. People were slipping him money before he left as nightime was setting in. I watched as he crossed a buy 4 lane with a wheeled cart, and his paper bag of stuff. He was very unkempt....and wearing a filthy,dirty pats coat with a rip in it. It was the new logo jacket. Take heart, I felt really bad for him, and for the rest of the people in this country who are struggling to make ends meet. So, I guess you could say there ARE more important things than winning and losing in football.
