Why Has Smack Talk Been Neutered

[NotBigzo]

I think a part of it for me is because it's not fun kicking someone when they're down.

It's fun to talk shit to teams that have a shot to do something this year. With the injury gods' hate boner for the Ravens and everyone knowing the Steelers weren't good enough, it wasn't fun beating sick dogs. It's why nobody really made fun of the Browns here.

I always thought smack talk would be fun after the Bengals took the North. But it isn't.
