Given the level of NFL officiating they probably didn't know what they were doing yet either. 

Also had an interview with an ex-Bengal who plays for Detroit now (Milberry?) who said there's no hate with the Steelers just when they are on the field.  Pretty well spoken guy.

Seems like the Steelers are 'chippy' everywhere they go, but don't want anyone being 'chippy' back... even the reffs

Did you ever see the movie Black Hawk Down?  Well, I would have went to Somalia, but I didn't because I was in C Co 3/75 at the time and not B Co 3/75. Also, I would have went to Somalia, but I didn't because Les Aspen disapproved deploying all of 3/75 as requested. If the driver of the car that crashed into the tree would have missed the tree then you wouldn't have sustained a TBI.

Does that help you understand the difference between something actually happening versus not happening?

Good thing you changed the thread title, though.

(08-11-2016, 04:16 PM)Beaker Wrote: So a game is the same thing as practice? The ref said he would have been kicked out of a game, but he did not have the authority to kick him out of a practice. So its not really the same thing. In one case he would have been kicked out, in the other he wasn't. So that's really two completely different things, isn't it? The only thing that was the same was that a steeler player was whining again.

So....no.

Cmon man, your team is chippy 24/7

However, since you're a military man and want to use a military analogy, we will:  when you were in training, specifically for an operation or something, were you allowed to talk back to your superior officer in the heat of the drill because "it wasn't the real thing"?


The point is, as I pointed out, he wouldn't need the advantages that the PED provides.


And that means that Steelers fans support a rapist and learn to debate means learn to engage in a debate.

No, because, like I said, it's the fact that Brown is a d bag that should have been kicked out of practice and just is an arrogant prick with no respect.

Let me ask you this: Had the ref had the authority and had Brown been kicked out of practice, what would it have changed in the overall picture?  Would it change the degree in which Brown is an arrogant, d bag of a child?  If so, how?

Also, it was more like a scrimmage with an NFL ref, so is a scrimmage enough like a real game to make it wrong for Brown to do?

In this instance, it was a joint practice and was in the time of practice that was more like a scrimmage.  Do you consider a scrimmage to be a real game?

As I say above, it's not about him being kicked out, it's about the fact that he should have been because he's a whiny little ***** that thinks he's better than everyone.

You think Brown knew that he couldn't be kicked out?  It's about intent and actions of classless punks.

Most of the athletes busted for PEDs don't need to take them, but still do to gain an advantage. See A Rod and Barry Bonds. 

I've been a Bengals fan longer than you've been alive.

That's exactly my point and you're proving that my logic is not flawed:  just because it's not "the real thing," it doesn't give you permission to stop acting like a soldier or, in this case, a professional football player that is supposed to follow the rules.

Thanks for making my point more clear  :thumbsup:
