Because it would affect his perceived "persona" on the boards. Can't do that!

The Steelers players and organization have been pampered by the NFL and refs for so long that they are now incapable of being honest with themselves about any thing that they have done in these games throughout its history.
It's sad that they were the bully and now they are going to the media crying.
I title this ,
The Transformation of a Bully into a Whiney Arse Cry Baby.
Sucker punch. Hair pulling. Run away. "Mom the Bengals are being mean to me". "Mom the Bengals are going to hurt me". "Refs and Goodell protect us from these bullies because we're the Steelers".
The End.
P.S. The Steeler greats of the past walk out of the theater in disgust.

They'd still be in here complaining that the refs hosed them...eventually.

All of this is yet another example of the "steel curtain" and it's transformation into "linen drapes". The increasing pussification in Pittsburgh is alive and well.

Huh? And here I thought the Steelers took it back and won the game.
Guess you watched a different one?

Dude did a Daniel San crane kick to a player. I have zero sympathy for him.

You mean when he tried to hurdle a punter?
Yeah, bad move.
Dumb move.
Not the same as a shoulder shot to the head. Oh, and it didn't cost the Steelers the game.

Tried to hurdle him? Nope. Even kicked his leg out.

Even you don't believe that he deliberately wanted to kick the punter in the face.

Even me? Hell I rarely say anything about this sort of thing except when it's right there for everyone to see. Did he think he was going to jump five yards 4 feet off the ground?

Again, you want private, stick to friends and not post on the internet. Especially when your PM is a ragfest about what a big meanie the recipient is. Even more so when you then denigrate the manhood of others for "complaining". Your argument is a curious mix of perverse privacy and Babysitter's Club.

I actually apoligized to everyone publically and then PM'd a few that were more involved in the back and forth.
Just my opinion, but I've seen many a coward talk big in public; however, when it's just the 2 of you, they don't have as much to say

Nope.

some how I don't feel like PM'ing someone quite equates to speaking with someone face to face.

What's so hard to believe? He stuck his foot in the dude's face and extended his leg.
Even you don't believe that he accidentally kicked the punter in the face.

I feel it is the closest thing we have; but whatever, I just thought making public a PM was in poor taste.
