Stealers like to fake injury (yeah, Ben milked that whole sympathy thing...until Denver caught his fake act, too).  They like to play the victim.  Bengals, Ravens and Broncos didn't fall for it, though.

I read an article this a.m. that stated outside of Pittsburgh, the stealers franchise has turned into one of the most hated in all of sports.

I used to have a modicum of respect for the Steelers.  They were not whiners, they played on the edge - and sometimes over - but I admired their mental toughness.

Not any more.  They're flat out dirty and they whine like girls.   The only team I just flat out despise.  The only real failure of the Bengals in that game was to lose our composure.   I know that Marvin dealt with this.   I just hope they can learn to be smart in the future.  How you teach that I don't know - except to identify being manipulated into a penalty as being mentally weak - which it is.
