1.  Not responding to the 'button pushing' that will go on.

2.  Unbiased officiating.

Absolutely.  I'm not a season ticket holder, but I make it to a few games here and there.  Bud was a clean player in Lexington.  I hope Allen doesn't go to those shitbags.  In fact, we should be looking long and hard at him.

I mean, I hate the Steelers as much as the next guy but this kind of talk makes us sound like we should be wearing tinfoil hats. You're letting them get in your head. You know why we get our asses handed to us by Pitt? They're trying to win a football game, we're trying to fight them on every front possible. If we, and subsequently, our players, didn't get wrapped up in this crap and focused on the game, I think the team and we as fans would be a lot better off.

Gotta love the "Steeler way". Blows my mind so many people still see the Bengals as the "bad guys" in this rivalry. The media is mostly to blame but the sheer ignorance of the masses is astounding.

I'll never let go of the disdain for the Stoolers......I'm just tired of suspensions and injuries.

Just like Antonio Brown making threats against a reporter, and a Steelers coaching pulling a player's hair, and a Steeler's headcoach trying to trip a player on the field during a big return.

Nothing will ever come from it because the commissioner was literally given his job by the Rooneys.

I mean, seriously. He hit Malone, with another steeler defender coming in shortly after. I am at a loss of words for this, tbh. Look at that play again. It makes 0 sense for the team to think someone intentionally hurt Ryan on that play.

They're trying to get in the Bengals head.

Be prepared for a lot of holding by Steeler o line not being called and some cynical hits by Steelers with no flags.

Smiley face Hines Ward ruined the career of Keith Rivers. Of all the cheap shots they have taken against the Bengals, that is the one I will always remember.

Oh yeah, I forgot who we were talking about.

Quote:“I don’t think there are any figures more important than Dan Rooney over the years,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Quote:The two men forged a friendship long before Dan Rooney knocked on Goodell’s hotel room door in 2006 to inform him he had just been elected commissioner.

“I can’t think of anyone I was closer to in the NFL, by far,” Goodell said. “I just admired him on every single level. He was a friend, a mentor, almost a father-like figure for so many years, well before I became commissioner. We would speak almost every day about the league, about different issues, the history of the game, the importance of things, what made the league successful."

Quote:Goodell helped keep the Steelers in the Rooney family during the transformation of the franchise ownership in 2008. Some of Rooney’s brothers investigated selling the team to billionaire hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmller, a Pittsburgh native. While Druckenmiller promised to keep the Rooneys running the Steelers, Goodell preferred they remain under Rooney ownership.
