This ***** is literally just making shit up
Florio ought to be working Amazon warehousing given the value he adds to sports journalism, Amazon could use more bodies.

Florio was born and raised in Wheeling, West Virginia, which is 1 hour south of Pittsburgh. Steelers country through and through. He also told a story about receiving a Steelers magnetic football game for Christmas when he was a kid. He's always been favorable to the Steelers and unreasonably harsh on the Bengals, and I'm not the type to say that about everybody in the media.
That said, there's also been a lot of rumors about him being a Vikings fan, and recently Chris Simms said "I know you're a big Vikings homer" on one of their podcasts, which drew a look of death from Mike.
I'd wager based on everything I've seen that Mike was probably a Steelers fan as a kid and has immense respect for their organization, but is more of a Vikings fan as an adult. He's also a WVU homer and really went in on the Bengals and Marvin Lewis when Marv threw a shot at his alma mater when talking about Chris Henry. Not sure if that still plays into it. Some people really hold grudges forever, and he seems like that type.

I'll also add that Florio has always been kind of a pompous douche who loves taking shots at seemingly random targets, but he also has no sense of humor about himself or his blog site. He's also struggled to admit when he's been wrong. Which is often.
I started frequenting that site in 2008, and eventually got tired of his political rants, and yearly missions...such as the anti-Redskins campaign, saying Michael Sam was blackballed for a year+ , and probably around 3+ years of Kaepernick articles.
There are sites that peddle NFL rumors without all the other BS and opinion pieces.

Ben will be done after this season.

Same here. Some people claim all media is against the Bengals. I don't really see that. In fact when we were winning we got lots of love. But Florio really does seem to have a bias against the Bengals.

I agree Florio is a douche, but I have two points.
1. The Dolphins may have actually offered to do that.
2. Lets not talk about tasting another man's salt.

Looks like Florio is shooting this video from a double wide with a cheap Chinese pbass knockoff in the background.

Caring about what Florio says is like getting mad at a dog because it barks instead of talking.
