I just wanted to say that I can’t believe the NFL did NOT fine Joey Porter after his comments about how the refs were “cheating” because they wanted Indianapolis to win the game. I’m not just saying this because I hate Porter either. Any player or coach on any team should be fined heavily for such comments. The NFL will fine a player 10 grand for wearing the wrong color socks, but they do nothing in this situation. Seems pretty gutless by the NFL. I guess now everytime there is a bad call on the field, someone is going to cry about being cheated. In case you missed it, here’s the article and footage of Porter after the game.

Shaun Alexander proved that he is not the NFL’s MVP on Saturday by his absence.

Name the other four main MVP candidates… Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Carson Palmer, and Tiki Barber.  All going home WITH their MVP candidate (except Palmer, but don’t get me started).  But the Seahawks, without their MVP, still managed to win a playoff game…

Tell me, if he is SOO important to his team that he gets the MVP, then why are they able to win in January WITHOUT HIM?!?!?!

Personally, I vote for either Brady or Palmer… The Bengals showed what kind of team they are without Palmer, 11 wins with him, asses whipped without him.
And as much as I hate the Patriots, I’m beginning to believe that Brady isn’t quite as overrated as I once thought, but I still think the media needs to get off his jock.

So, there you have it.  Alexander, while having an outstanding year (one of the best ever by an RB) shouldn’t have been given the MVP.  They don’t need him to win, and the NFL is FULL of really, really good runners…

Boomer Esiason is starting to really piss me off! First he makes his comments about players on the current Bengals team, calling Chad Johnson a “knucklehead”, then he goes talking about how it would have been highway robbery had the Colts beaten the Stealers. Hey Boomer, SHUT THE F— UP! Why don’t you just move to Pittsburgh and get a job working for them since you love swinging on them so much.

I like Boomer. He is a legend in Cincinnati and one of the best quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL. But if you don’t quit running your mouth, you’re going to have a alot more people than me pissed off at you.

Let it be known that on this day, Sunday January 15, 2006, that it was proven that god does not exist. We also learn today that good things happen to bad people as the Shitsburgh Steelers beat the Indianapolis Colts. No god would allow such a thing to happen, so from this day forth, I advise any pious person to hereby renounce their faith. God does not exist.

I guess if there is one positive to the game’s outcome it’s that we won’t have to hear the unemployed masses of Shitsburgh crying about how they were robbed. I don’t know why  a team like the Steelers is being rewarded by advancing to the AFC championship while a much more deserving bunch like the Colts should be there instead. Oh well. We see the Colts gracious in victory, and we will see them gracious in defeat. True class acts.

As for Pittsburgh, fuck Pittsburgh. I hope the depths of Hell one day rise up and swallow your shithole of a town into a fiery pit of…well…fire. Of course you all probably wouldn’t notice anyway. At least instead of rooting for a team to win in the playoffs, I have a team to root against, no matter who they play.

Fuck this shit.

I can’t believe people used to look like this on purpose. http://eatliver.com/i.php?n=787

Now that war has officially been declared between the cities of Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, I would like to make one final point on the matter. Throughout the season, I have heard people refer to the Bengals as a bandwagon team with fairweather fans. This could not be further from the truth. Through nearly a decade and a half of losing, The fans have been there. Since I can remember, I have watched every game on the last 12 some odd seasons. And when the game was not televised, I listened on the radio, and so did ALOT of other Bengal fans.

While we did not sell out every game during the bad years, we still packed the stadium pretty well. Any team that goes through as long a drought as we have had is going to have lower attendance. But when the games here did not sell out, it wasn’t by much. Now that the Bengals are playing good football again, the stadium is packed to capacity every week. And since it seems that everyone that is not from Cincinnati hates the Bengals, I don’t know where the bandwagon label comes from. Some examples of bandwagon teams would be the L.A. Lakers, New York Yankees.

YOu can say what you want about the Bengals. But no one can call them bandwagon or say that their fans are fairweather. The people have Cincinnati have stuck it out through some really bad times. We deserve to finally have a winner.

I’m sure some jackass will come on here and counter everything I just said, but hey, that’s what this crap is all about.

I can’t stand any of these teams, nor the people who cheer for them.

8. Duke University Basketball - Not really sure why I dislike them so much. I think it began back in 1998 when they played Cincinnati, and we beat them. It just almost seems unfair that this team will always be in the top 5 because they have the ability to recruit just about anyone they want.

7. Chicago Cubs - The fans blamed the collapse of their lousy team on a single guy named Steve Bartman. That’s just pathetic. I hate when the Cubs come to Cincinnati to play the Reds because a ton of their out of work bums for fans follow them and stink up our stadium. You guys are never gonna win a World Series. Just give up.

6. Boston Red Sox - You can put part of the blame for this one on Jimmy Fallon. My god am I sick of hearing about the Red Sox and fat bastard Manny Ramirez. I don’t care. When they come up on Sportscenter I change the channel. You’re almost as bad as the Yankees.

5. Cleveland Browns - Do I really have to explain? I’m from Cincinnati. It’s pretty much automatic. And Kellen Winslow is a complete retard. “I’M A SOLDIER! Now let me crash my motorcycle and ruin my career.”

4. Baltimore Ravens - Ray Lewis and Jamal Lewis, two pieces of shit who should be in jail. And I hate that Brian Billick gets so much credit for a team that won a Superbowl with Marvin Lewis’ defense. They’ll stay in the cellar until they get a capable quarterback.

3. New England Patriots - Does anyone who is NOT from Boston actually like this team? They’re made out to be this classy group of guys, though every time you see a highlight it’s of their players taunting the opposing team or its fans. If they get to the Superbowl again I probably won’t even want to watch the game.

2. New York Yankees - There’s a reason they call them the evil empire. Steinbrenner would buy the World Series trophy if they’d let him. Luckily they haven’t won a championship in the last few years because their players are all old.

1. Pittsburgh Steelers - The Steelers have proven what a classless group they are. I at least had respect for BIll Cowher, but not anymore after his little WhoDey cheerleader act. Payback’s a bitch.

Dishonorable Mention: L.A. Lakers - One of the biggest bandwagon teams ever. So glad they suck now.

Steelers LB Joey Porter says he is unimpressed with the Indianapolis Colts, a team they lost to 28-7, or something like that. “They don’t want to just sit there, line up and play football,” Porter told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “They want to try to catch you off guard. They don’t want to play smash-mouth football, they want to trick you. … They want to catch you substituting. Know what I mean? They don’t want to just call a play, get up there and run a play. They want to make you think. They want it to be a thinking game instead of a football game.”

So basically, Porter is admitting that he is not much in the brains department and would rather not have to think when he’s on the field. Here’s an idea Porter. How about instead of celebrating 20 yards down the field after a tackle while the Colts are lining up you should get your ass back to the line. Sorry Joey, but you don’t become the best team in the league by going out and playing like a neanderthal. Maybe if you ask nicely, the Colts will slow everything down for you, or just agree to run the ball up the middle everytime. Don’t worry about being outsmarted. I guess the Steelers aren’t paying you to think. Dumbass.

Remember that old computer game Oregon Trail? Damn that was a fun game. I always played it in elementary school, and I was always the banker from Boston because he had the most money. Everything that could go wrong always did on my trip. From thieves in the night to contracting scurvy, not to mention my wagon bursting into flames for absolutely no reason. I did manage to navigate the rocks in the final ride down the river. The best part was getting to write on your tombstone when you died. “Here Lies Stupid.” HAHA.

I think I’ve said everything I need to on the Bengals and Steelers. I think we would have won the game with Palmer, but that’s not how things went so I’m not gonna dwell on it. However, there is next season. And as for the Steelers, when we play you guys again, IT’s ON!
