We should listen to a kook who fumbled the Super Bowl?

One more reason why I have stopped watching the NFL.
Give me a GREAT college game any day!! More scoring, more excitement, more heart in the game!!

"What kind of person celebrates death?" We're not celebrating "death." We're celebrating freedom from the earthly existence of a vile sub-human who sought OUR death.

Well you are clearly an ignorant BONEhead, but physiologically it is the abject lack of functioning, firing neuronal synapses that are the problem with big-mouthed dumbasses like you, Mendenhall.

Let’s see how Rush defends this idiotic statement from one of his precious Steelers.
To: LSUfan
Proof that playing football does indeed cause brain damage? Or was he just born that way?

"It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side ..." I guess this dumbass who alleges himself not to have an ignorant bone in his body missed that April 2002 video in which bin Laden open admits and brags about directing the operation.

He must really want to be traded. The Steelers don't put up with kooks.
Just damn. The guy is one of the best at his job.

I have a degree in construction, and when I saw what had happened on 9/11, I knew it would be a miracle if those buildings did not come down. All you need is a rudimentary understanding of high school physics to know that the likely outcome of planes filled with fuel, crashing into those buildings, even at slow speeds, would do just what they did... that’s why they did it. What a fool...

I think the first sentence he utters is actually defensible. While I personally don't have any problems with the "celebrations" from that night,
most of which I believe originated organically, especially the ones in NYC, I do understand the intellectual argument against them. Ruddy Giuliani made a similar comment the next day - something to the effect of, "I understand the elation but I'm not sure if it's helpful over the long run".
But, the rest of what this guy says is pure idiocy. Mendenhall - I guess - is saying that if we just understood bin Laden as a person, that would somehow make the murder of (literally) thousands of people, not just in the US, but all over the globe, somehow "understandable". It might be the most offensive thing I have ever heard. If the NFL, much less the Steelers, allow him to put a uniform on again, something is wrong - very, very wrong.
