You can bet that Squeeler fans would be bytching like little girls if that Bettis fumble ended in a Divisional loss.

And stoop to your level? Please.

And ya know what??? I'd be on their side.

You'd be unwanted.

And that prissy asterisk you keep posting is the perfect depiction of the tiny splash made by every one of your delicious little tears.

Post all the animated gifs ya like, Petro-Boy.

The fact is, the Squeelers won't get any respect from the rest of the league until you can prove you can win without the Zebras.

Boy-O-Boy did Ben look like shyt against that inferior NFC defense!

Yeah, it would be horrible for the Steeler fans to display poor sportsmanship. Check this story from 12/1/05:
Tommy Maddox has become the most hated player in Pittsburgh at the moment. His children are being teased at school and trash is being thrown on his home lawn. Now I knew the Pittsburgh Steelers have extremely emotional - and for a lack of better words - hard core fans, but this is ridiculous. ...Ever since Maddox lost the job to Roethlisberger, people have brutally hated Maddox, but do they forget what he did for us? He was our starting QB for two years, and was a lot better in those two years then Kordell Stewart was for most of his quarterbacking career... I find myself saying "Why did they do that" many times while watching the Pittsburgh Steelers play, it is extremely frustrating. Out of all the people I would ever blame for a game, Bill Cowher would be the last, but guess what? I blame the loss to the Colts on Bill Cowher. I blame the loss to the Ravens on Bill Cowher (in combination with the offensive line of course). Wow I never thought I would blame the godly Bill Cowher for something

We all can sit here and say "Maddox is a bum" but he is in the NFL. He is in no way a bum. He may be out of football next year, but either way, in my mind Maddox was a temporary hero to the Steelers, and I will never hate him. Pittsburgh Steelers fans are frustrated right now, we are losing games that we shouldn't, but don't put all the blame on people like Tommy Maddox.

Or this one from three weeks ago:
FL referee Pete Morelli is having a rough week.

On Sunday, Morelli made one of the more controversial calls in NFL history, overturning what appeared to be an interception by the Steelers' Troy Polamalu. On Monday, his Stockton, Calif. home was vandalized, according to police reports.

Lieutenant Thomas Wells of the Stockton Police Department told FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer that a police report was filed after a rock was thrown through Morelli's living room window late Monday night after Morelli and his wife had gone to bed. Lt. Wells emphasized that police had no suspect and no motive in the case and could not say with any degree of certainty whether the act of vandalism was related to Sunday's call.

"We are aware of the situation and we're cooperating with police in any way we can," said NFL spokesman Greg Aiello.

On Monday, the NFL admitted that Morelli had erred when he used instant replay to overturn the interception. Mike Pereira, the league's VP of officiating, said in a statement that the call on the field should have stood.

"He maintained possession long enough to establish a catch," Pereira said. "Therefore, the replay review should have upheld the call on the field that it was a catch and fumble."

Fortunately for Morelli — and the Steelers — while the botched call allowed the Colts to eventually pull within a field goal, it ultimately did not play any role in the outcome of the game, which Pittsburgh won, 21-18.

I guess writing editorials is much worse than harassing a player's kids at school, vandalizing his house, or throwing bricks through a referee's window.
