According to some who root for the Steelers it is. Especially when it's someone tackling Bell. But headhunting Harrison is just a fiery player - a throwback to when men played the game. FOOBAWL!!!

See the hypocrisy yet?

You can google it.  He leveraged his body to twist the knee or something.

Are we now expanding our pool of steeler fans to outside this board?  I mean the discussion is between members here.

Are you the only 6 Steelers fans in the world?

If I have to be lumped in with the mouth breathers who flip their shit everytime Dalton throws a pick, you get to be lumped in with Steelers fans who cry foul everytime a freak accident takes out one of the players.

Aside from the fact that no one believes that, you were the one who said trying to hurt someone is dirty even your are doing nothing more than playing football within the rules. Apparently any defender who doesn't make a tackle with the intent of being gentle and soft is a dirty player under your definition.

Literally WTF are you spazing about?  These mouth breathers you are talking about are actually here and post in the smack forum from time to time.  Also when in this thread were you lumped in with them?  You may have been I just don't remember.

Oh. I don't know if anyone here said it.

Aside from the fact that you don't speak for every Steelers fan in the world and cannot make that statement, trying to hurt someone is dirty. There are plenty of ways to lay the wood without trying to crack someone's ***** skull. See: Reggie Nelson laying out that tight end from Denver last season.

Here, I'll try simple terms.

Headhunting is bad.
Hard tackling is not.

Hope that helps.

Did I say I was lumped with them here?

I'm speaking more of a historical sense - that being anytime anyone here has said 'Bengals fans are *insert monosyllabic insult*' is making a broad characterization that includes me.

I was more trying to insult other Bengals fans because, for the most part, I can't stand the lot of them.

Okay....I thought you had no point...

Oh of course I have no point. I've been ranting and raving like a lunatic for 4 months to pass the time until football season starts again and I'm running out of crazy fuel.

Tap Brad.  He seems to have an endless supply of it.

yeah i dont think anyone does

plus, his kind of crazy isnt something you can switch on and off, its a lifestyle

I honestly worry he might have been gaslighted into it.

It's scary.

I'm not worried about his play on the field as much as i'm worried about his concussion history and his recent knee surgery.

Compare a college kid to a man with a family.

Well done.

I guess that wraps this thread up.
