PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Casey Hampton rattled off several expletives Thursday while complaining Atlanta guard Tyson Clabo intentionally tried to hurt him with a block to the back of his legs.
"I can't tell you what I told him but it was all dirty, man," Hampton said. "That's like you have no respect for the game. You're just out there trying to hurt somebody and I'm out there trying to make a living. I was real, real mad and I let him know I was real mad, too."

Can you say, "Crash & Burn"? I knew you could.
Can you celebrate other people's misfortune? Apparently you can.
Live in the past, then, as you're gonna be sittin' at home through the playoffs, with your Thereza Heinz-Kerry Stadium seat piled with snow....
I suppose that one of these days it'll occur to you that every memory you have is from your past. So tell us though, what team is "your team?" Are you proud enough of them to tell us who they are? I haven't lived in Pittsburgh since 1976, and yet I'm still, and forever, a rabid die-hard Steeler fan. We're all over the country and we're coming to your statium one of these days, where you'll hear us chanting DE-FENSE, drowning out your own fans in your own statium. :)
Unbenownst to you, apparently, is the fact that Football (like all professional sports), are a "business", and fans mistakenly get caught up in thinking it's "their team", etc.
I don't get caught up in football since it's become too business-like and too filled with multi-million dollar egomaniacs, who exist because of the rabbidnous of "fans" willing to pay hundreds of dollars to get a seat.
So, I don't follow Pro Football that much, but will watch various teams that look to be equally matched, to see who can survive.
Use your towels, (some silly towel thing I've seen Pittsburgh fans carry) to cry in this year....and continue living in the past.
Memories worth saving are of my friends and family, and anything related to them. My standards must be quite different in terms of priorities than yours.
[deleted a whole bunch of crap explaining how you're better than the rest of us, and that you don't have a sports team worth a damn]

Wow, you're just so damn Superior to the rest of us I don't know how you can stand it. I suppose celebrating my hometown sports teams with my family is just amoeba to your primate.
Where's your civic pride? I love my home town. More than Superior nuanced people like you will ever know. (See how I can pretend I'm better than you.... HEY, JUST LIKE YOU DO!)
There's no reason to "celebrate" BR's misfortune. There is, however, a reason to call a whiner a whiner. Ben should just shut up and play football. Life in the NFL is a roller coaster ride. Some years your very fortunate to put together a winning formula, some years.... your not. But every Super Bowl winner requires a winning formula complete with a healthy dose of good fortune. There is good news for Steeler fans though...
Man Law Update: You are officially allowed to call a bad year a "rebuilding year" even if no actual "rebuilding" has taken place. Look it up, it's true.

If having a local sports team that is successful in its business makes the local populace better than some other teams' populace, well, that's sad to be the only claim to fame of "fans"......
I guess if one is not a self-proclaimed sports fan, then they have no value in your world.
you mean the deranged soul, devoid of credibility, and blinded by pathological hatred? yeah, i know....
My life is full...this is just a cherry on it.
Not "supposed to be." They are.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you're driven to crying about the Steelers' unprecedented Super Bowl run (6th seed to world champ).
He lost it all on his "sure thing" bets against the Steelers last winter.
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!
Then he finally descended into total insanity.
So can maineman. He posted a thread on Sunday celebrating Ben's concussion. He's been trying to rehabilitate himself ever since.
Translation: I've never said I'm better than you, but I'm better than you! LOL!
