The Steelers get away with things other teams get players suspended for.

Exactly how much head does one have to give Goodell to get that kind of protection?
Like how Talib got suspended for the eyepoke, but DeCastro only gets an $8k fine.
Burfict wasn't going to be fined for the Ben hit, but they cried and then he did get fined, but nobody mentions Spaeth trying to break Burfict's knee.

1. I don't make cry baby threads or whine about other teams players.
2. Do you know most people including that picture get the pot meets the kettle euphemism incorrect?

.....now granted you don't do it very much, I found you whining about Burfict being dirty 3 times in a thread.

1. Go back to those threads and read them while knowing who I am again. Here's a hint for you just in case you might still have trouble using that old man addled brain of yours. I don't think Burfict is just an average player either.
2. wut...You do but you don't know?
P.S. This guy found your mom's pad.

1. Sure you don't.
2. I get that some folks get it wrong, I don't get how that euphemism depicted is incorrect. It's literally the pot calling the kettle black.....apparently I'm missing something.
You're older than me, so STFU.

Looks more like Pig Pen's Kleenex......although I'm not certain that even that pad would absorb those crocodile tears.

The correct euphemism requires a change to the Kettle to be correct. See in this version the Pot calling the Kettle black indicates that the pot is an idiot for saying anything to the Kettle because they are essentially the same. This is incorrect. This euphemism is supposed to convey projection not equality. In the correct usage the pot is black and the kettle is polished metal and is reflecting the image of the pot back to the pot. Essentially saying that the pot is an idiot because he is only describing himself/herself.

You are correct. The pad Ben uses is slightly larger than the one your mom uses which is depicted in the image.

It takes most Bengal fans 4 paragraphs to display this much butthurt. You did it in 4 sentences.

You need to understand that the Steelers play an especially hard nosed style of football, and from time to time a player may lose control, resulting in an unintentional illegal hit. Wheras those bums that get suspended deserve it because their intent was to injure.

So you'd rather have unpredictable savages over people that can control what they do?
Here's a hint: one group of them can stop what they're doing and the other can't.
