PITTSBURGH STEELERS VS. ARIZONA CARDINALS

Oh - duh!!!
I have FSN!
Thanks! Switching now!!!!
Well, that does it for me. I am a lifelong Raiders fan, but I used to kind of pull for the Steelers when they weren’t playing us. No more. I will root against the Steelers no matter who they play. Yes, that includes Denver. At least until Rooney assumes room temperature.
I know what some of you may be thinking (okay, probably not YOU guys, but what others will say). “Oh, dont be that way....he’s just an old man. You cant hate the team for what one old guy said.”
Yes, I can and I will. If he wants that to be the face of his team, then so be it. There was no reason to put that in there. That was pure and simple “I supported obama, and let me spout off about it”. I dont think that politics belong in football, I sure would like to forget about it when I watch a football game, but if I know that if your team wins I will have to hear that crap, then I hope your team never wins again.
Its bad enough that I cant watch movies hardly anymore because I dont want to listen to the leftist agenda. Now are they going to go and spoil sports, too?
Try Comcast 211....ahhh man...Mike Tomlin just thanked his step father.
Thats what my Mom Says..
There is Noooo way...
But Congrats to the Steelers on #6.
They always are...
0bama's fault!!!
I hate to see the stealers win. Don’t get me started on the refs, Rooney, or anything else. Unless you have a case of Snickers bars at hand...
Going to send your post to Matt.. he’ll love it..
the Dallas Cowboys are pretty good at choking too!
LOL! Well, hell, yes! He was the first person thanked by Rooney ;-)
I went to the Steelers and Eagles web sites to check it out. My source is an NFL book, The First Fifty Years, which includes a complete history of all franchises up until 1969. In that book, it states that the Pirates and Eagles started in 1933, and in 1940 the Pirates moved to Philadelphia and the Eagles moved to Pittsburgh, becoming the Steelers. The official Steelers media guide completely scrubs this, leading one to believe that Rooney started the Pirates and they became the Steelers. On the Eagles web site, a different story is given. This is the Eagles site history:
1940At the least, the claim on Wikipedia that ownership of the Steelers has ALWAYS been with the Rooney family is incorrect, as the Eagles (official NFL site) clearly states that Rooney sold the Steelers. The Steelers, of course, simply ignore this, as part of their claim to fame is that the Steelers have always been in the Rooney family. The Eagles site is unclear on whether the franchises moved cities or whether just the owners did, but as I said, an Official NFL history from the NFL sitting next to me right now says the franchises moved cities, not just the owners.
[EAGLES]Home playing site switches from Municipal Stadium to Shibe Park (later known as Connie Mack Stadium). Pittsburgh owner Art Rooney buys half interest in the Eagles after selling the Steelers franchise to Alexis Thompson of New York, a 30-year old heir to a six million fortune in steel stocks.
1941
Bell and Rooney swap franchises with Thompson, Rooney returning to Pittsburgh and Thompson taking over the Eagles. Bert Bell joins Rooney as a full-time partner in Pittsburgh. Thompson hires Earl (Greasy) Neale as head coach of the Eagles.
1943
Eagles merge with Pittsburgh Steelers to form the "Steagles" due to manpower shortage during World War II. Merger dissolved at end of season.
Arizona deserved to be in the Super Bowl with Pittsburgh. It truly was “SUPER”!
It's a little sad that those who wanted the Cards to win see black ops and mafia thugs in the shadows, but that isn't going to bother me one little bit!!!
Nor me...its a sweet win!!!
Hines is on wpxi now....holding his little boy @ the prsser.
Steelers 7-56
Cardinals 11-106
Your team was a bit over-confident this year.
“I’m so glad somebody won. Anyone heard the scores from Iraq and Afghanistan?”
Nope, the last international score I heard was
Israel 2913
gaza 6.
Penalty stats is interesting...
OMG! I SO agree with you. Until Rooney is gone from this earth, I will be forever hating the Steelers. I am really po’ed!
