My argument is... We should stop putting them up on a pedestal, and acting like it's some major accomplishment to beat them!
The ultimate diss would be to treat them as "just another team."
I'm sorry, but how many 'other teams' collectively:
- Shredded our quarterback's knee in a playoff game and gave a game ball to the asshole that did it?
- Ran their thug coaches onto the field during a playoff game to assault and harass our players?
- Literally tried to twist off our QB's head?
- Cheap-shotted our punter, breaking his jaw, causing a vertebrae fracture and ending his season?
- Broke our linebacker's jaw?
I'm sure others can chime in with other anecdotes from over the years that currently escape me.
Point is, as long as there is a Cincinnati Bengals and a Pittsburgh Steelers, it's gonna be personal for us and playing/beating them will always mean more than any other team.
**** Pissburg, always and forever. I hope yesterday ***** hurts them.
