I consider you and sprig good friends of mine. I dislike the Patriots too but Grenouille is one of the coolest guys here.
This thread would be a lesser place to be without the three of you.
We all rib each other in good fun, that's what sports is about.
We are all usually fine in here, but for some reason 316 wants to be a complete prick to me because the Raiders beat the Steelers, and in a game that he didn't really watch, and that two horribly obvious no calls yielded 14 points to the Raiders- and they win by 3. Heck, he even saw an opportunity to take a stab in week 1 against them when Manning was doing well in that game, but yet no one slams the Raiders (or really any team) when they got handled in Miami. We usually all pick on each other in here when "our" team loses, but always make it obvious that it's just playing. He flat out wanted to be an ass because Oakland won and he felt he could.
I'll straight out say when Pittsburgh played like crap and lost, I'll say when they got questionable calls in their favor and I'll definitely say when calls hurt them in games. And 2 years ago when Pittsburgh steam rolled Oakland, I definitely wasn't in here rubbing it in anyone's face. I count every win as a blessing, because nothing is for-sure in this League, and I feel VERY fortunate I've watched them in 3 Super Bowls in recent years.
I feel I'm the most loyal Steelers fan in here (and one of the most loyal fans of my team), and a game they lose doesn't bother me and I'll comment about how the other team flat-out played better and beat them, but a close game they probably should've won will also warrant comments from me. Others in here will comment about bad losses, and I don't take the opportunity to dig on them, as most of us won't either. And as a matter of fact, I was singing praise of Oakland before the season. They are a better team than their record shows right now, but they got away with one tonight (if not for a bad long snapper they could be 2-1 and leading the Division right now).
I don't care if anyone finds this post humorous, whiny or whatever. If this thread gets to the point that other threads do, where members see an opportunity to be a complete prick about something and jump all over it, and mods won't say crap because it's their buddy (I kinda just threw that last part in, it actually doesn't happen in here, I just like making it publicly known), then I'll just stay out of here like 99% of these threads in on this forum.
