Re: [boston_steelers_fans] are U ready???!!!

Richard, I've been waiting for the training camp countdown, and you didn't disappoint! It's almost that time again... regarding your last question, my as-usual-overly-analytical response is as follows. I'm generally ambivalent about the Patriots. I really don't care what they do unless we're playing them. A few years ago they were annoying like the Chargers of the mid-90s in that they beat us in a playoff game that most people expected us to win, but that was a while back and really doesn't matter anymore.
 
Their core fan base, on the other hand, is a joke. They win the super bowl, so are they happy? No. They're angry. They feel disrespected. Boo hoo. They care the most about two teams that aren't even in their division (us and Indy). So I'm amused at the inferiority complex, but it is a little annoying only because we happen to live here and are surrounded by it.
 
The short answer? The Bengals. Actually I dislike all of our division opponents about equally, though the Bengals and Browns also provide entertainment value as the dysfunctional part of the AFC North family.

THIRTEEN DAYS UNTIL TRAINING CAMP!!!
I'm starting to think about Steelers Football!!
(OK, I never really stop thinking about Steelers Football; at least
its closer this time of year than in February or March....)
Who's planning to go watch the Hall of Fame Game at Roggies?? I will
definitely be there! I even put a possible date on the back burner
when I discovered that she wanted to get together the night of the
game. Steelers first, dates second...! unless your date is a
Steelers fan, of course!
Anyway; met two great people from Pittsburgh at the museum where I
work yesterday. the one woman is a teacher who's school played the
Steelers in a b-ball game this past winter. she had to go up against
Big Ben, said that he is a total ball hog...and she told him so, a
lot! she also said that Louis Lipps was THE coolest, nicest guy in
the world.
we talked Steelers for @ an hour! Got me PSYCHED for the season!
One of the Steeler blogs has a question, so I'll ask our group the
same one: who do you hate more, the Pats or the Bungles???
let the debates begin!
HERE WE GO!!
Richard

Definitely, the Bungles! I don't think that I hate the Pats as much as I hate their "fans". I think that they are just jealous of us. It bothers me that they...

Long time, guys! If it's between the Pats and the Bengals, I'm going to have to go with the Pats. They're arrogant MFs. And their fans are awful. At least the...
