How the hell do you morons not understand this? You have to cross 2 state borders to get to pittsburgh and go PAST Cincinnati for 90% of the state population to get there. Cincy is literally 150 yards from kentucky.

On the other hand, the university of kentucky IS IN KENTUCKY.

Maybe if you wanted to make a consistent argument you would say vandy vs. Pitt. But no... You fools have to use a completely invalid argument.
Show me the damn rule book for being a fan. You're the moron for trying to tell people who they can root for. As a kid in the 70's growing up in Gracey,Ky, Pitt, Cincy, New York, L.A., and China are all the same distance. They might as well be on Mars.

Honestly, what did the Steelers have to lose by having Joey Porter come out on the field. I'm almost in awe of it.

Eff it, we're done anyways. Why not try to goad the Bengals

And there was no trash talking by Porter either.

Well thank you for leaving that with us, like we haven't discussed it 100 times before, but I've got time so let's do it again. Was Porter being on the field a violation of the rules---absolutely, no doubt about it. Does this violation of the rules that happens in almost every game ever get penalized -- absolutely not. Had the Bengals themselves violated this rule earlier in the game -- absolutely. Were they penalized for it -- absolutely not. So would it be remotely fair to start throwing flags against the Steelers for a violation that is never penalized even after having let the Bengals slide on it in the previous quarter? Hell no. So there we have that. Porter should not be penalized and anyone who says he should have been is just beyond the reach of logic. Did Jones make contact with an official when the effects of his prozac wore off a few moments later? Absolutely. Is making contact with an official(in a viiolent manner) ALWAYS greeted with a little yellow hanky and a 15 yard trip down the field to think about what you've done? Absolutely. Does it matter what provokes your moronic assault on the zebra? Absolutely not, you will be penalized. I think that about covers it.

The point, you failed to grasp, was this wasn't the first time the Steelers have had a coach impact the game which is against the rules. It wasn't the second time the Steelers have had a coach interact with a player to affect the outcome. It was the third. It shows a history of unethical behavior on the coaches parts. It shows the hypocrisy of the fan base who calls Burfict a thug but worshipped Ryan Clark who himself had hits as bad or worse. It proves the above post that this is the Steelers M.O. And that these types of things that happen every game the Steelers play in. To hear you talk, I'm surprised the Steelers leave church long enough to play football, those delightful little choir boys.

appearently, Jason Whitlock was on the herd talking about it being a race thing which is a bit of stretch considering Marvin is black as well. He claims tomlin isn't a very good coach and things like this and trying to trip jacoby jones are overlooked based on tomlin winning and being black

A) I don't even remember Ryan Clark's number and if he cheap shotted anyone the way Burfict does then I have no need for him and no Steeler DB has been worthy of worship in decades except 43, but I'll guarantee you he doesn't have a fraction of the number of cheap shots that Burfict does and that he never intentionally tried to injure players after the play was over as Burfict has on multiple occasions.
B) I was embarrassed by Tomlin tripping Jones in that Baltimore game--and so was Tomlin and he's never done that or anything like it again but none of that has anything to do with Porter being on the field, he did absolutely nothing wrong and has nothing to apologize for.

Yeah, Tomlin sucks as a coach. What's his record again?

I mean obviously you can't understand.

There's a difference between being on the field and being on the field trying to provoke opposing players.

There's a difference between stepping over the sideline and stepping over the sideline with intent to impede a kick returner.

There's a difference between spearing someone under the facemask with the crown of your helmet when they don't have any clue you're there and throwing a shoulder at someone who ducks into you.

There's a difference between yes and no. Yes means yes and no means no.

But since those rules don't apply to steelers, it's kinda ******* difficult to expect you to understand.

Burfict averages 1 unsportsmanlike/personal foul every 2 games. Clark averaged 1 per year.

Also, if Burfict ends the season for Leveon, Ben, and Brown in the same season, that's worthy of a GD Bengals MVP Award.

Still doesn't make up for #9 10 years ago, but we're closer now...

He was provoking no one, he was standing there talking, everything was calm, then Burfict accidentally smacks him in the face and he barely says two words about that, then he's talking to the refs and Gilberry comes up and shoves him. This is all on the video, deny it if you like.

And this is precisely why most Bengal fans deserve every single second of pain they've endured as a fan of that abomination of a franchise. Lose a game you should have won but didn't because of subhuman thug players and blame someone else. Here's to another 26 years!

That comment right there makes you a piece of **** trash. To be happy about a player getting injured is simply sick, I don't care who the player is.

Crazyq is clearly the 2nd biggest moron on the board. To a 7-8 yr old kid living in southern or western KY, Cincy might as well be next to Pittsburgh, or Denver, or LA. It ain't no where close to you.

Here's a crystal clear video that shows how much Porter was antagonizing the Bengals. Watch it at the 8:30 mark, Porter and Burfict are standing there talking like two deacons after church, no problems at all. A few seconds later all Pac-man breaks out:

It's funny that you say Bengals = UL fans because I see many parallels with the Steelers. It's not worth getting into. And yes the Steeler fans cheered when Rivers got hurt. That same with Palmer, Huber, and back in the day when Kenny Andrrson was almost decapitated. It's really funny that any Steeler fan thinks they have any moral ground to stand on to look down on us Bengal fans. That's like a Rapist looking down on a burglar.

Does he have to be 100% sure? What percentage of certainty does he have to attain before his opinion bears weight for you. He says it was a clean hit, has been saying that since it happened and gee, that's exactly how it was called on the field, exactly how it was seen in the booth and exactly how it was analyzed by the former NFL ref the network hires to advise them on the rules. Man, maybe it was a clean hit.

And the NFL can look at it all they want in the offseason, maybe they want to change the rule, maybe they want to look at the rule that says a forward pass is legal. Doesn't make it any less legal THIS season.
There's a lot of sass in this thread but seriously, all rational football fans should agree that hit was a clear penalty and you got away with one. Why argue this post after post when it is blatantly clear that if you spear a guy with your helmet in the chin with helmet to helmet contact you are going to get flagged?

Waaaaay back when I first brought up this question I stated that the ONLY possible defense was that the runner lowered his helmet. That's it. No need to go any further. It was a horrible no call, you got away with one, be happy and leave it at that.

Steeler fans absolutely have the moral high ground after last weekend. That was an embarrassing display by their players and fans. You can bring up examples from whenever but we're talking about today. Hines Ward and Mean Joe Greene have been gone for years. Meanwhile Burfict will likely get a contract extension. It's just pathetic.

They have the moral high ground when you had a coach physically interact with a player on the sidelines and pull his hair? Really? That is something a teenage girl does to another girl. He didn't even have the balls to come straight at him. He pulled his hair from behind. You have the moral ground when a player led with his helmet and speared someone? Burfict does indeed walk a fine line between legal and illegal but even he didn't lead with the helmet. Obviously your moral standards are lower than mine if you think those things were ok. Just another way Steeler fans are like UL fans. I didn't think I could like a fan base any less than UL but I am beginning to reassess that after the BS I've read in this thread from Steeler fans.

I give to you the infamous Munchak hair pull. In the video you can see Nelson run into the Steelers coach. Then Munchak trips over someone on the ground. The coach then grabs Nelson to steady himself and in the process accidentally grabs Nelson's hair. If you read Munchak;s lips he clearly says I'm sorry as soon as it happens.

Listening to the poster above you would think he ran out onto the field and road him down and started yanking on his hair like they were a couple of middle school girls. Please point out the horrible dirty underhanded attack on Nelson in that video. Personally I don't see it. Just like with Porter supposedly ruthlessly taunting the Bengals player, this whole incident has been exaggerated.

Says the guy whose fellow fans celebrate injuries to and wish harm on opposing players. Now THAT is a UL fan.

Again...you moronic Bengal fans absolutely deserve this embarrassing 26 year playoff drought. I can only hope it lasts 26 more.

Bump this thread for entertainment value! We have 8 more months till our season starts again. I Can't wait till next years first game just to see what happens between these two teams. It's crazy how much it has escalated. I read that some of these guys won't play with each other on the probowl team simply because they truly hate each other

Does this really surprise you? This thread has proven time and again that Bengal fans = UL fans. They're the exact same.
This statement is beyond stupid. Since a large percentage of UK fans are also Bengals fans, you are disparaging a whole lot of UK fans when you say that. You are basically saying UK fans = UL fans.

There's no proof he intentionally pulled his hair. And there's no proof he's intentionally trying to hurt someone, unlike Burfict who's intentionally trying to hurt everyone he is within contact of. He didn't lead with the helmet but he still hit him in the head. And he also kneed Ben in the shoulder. And he went low to Ben a few weeks ago. Plus the hit on Bell. Plus the hit on Cam Newton. The list goes on and on. He's trying to end someone's career. And I don't know how Bengal fans put up with that.

The hit on Bell was a routine football play. Bell even said so. The knee to the shoulder was a result of trying to rip the ball from Ben. Ben came out and said the tackle and scrum was not dirty. Did not see the hit low on Ben a couple weeks ago nor did I see the Panthers game so I can't comment on those.

And Shazier hit Bernard in the head. So by your logics, Shazier was trying to hurt Bernard. Got it.

The hits you don't think were dirty gave him a 3 game suspension so pretty sure you don't know what you're talking about.

You have one guy who has a proven history of trying to injure someone. Google Burfict trying to injure Cam Newton. Hard to believe you're a Bengals fan and haven't seen that. You picked a great guy to continue to defend. And you're calling 1 hit by a guy that has never even been fined before nor was fined on this hit to a guy who has led the league in fines and personal fouls and is suspended for 3 games next year? I understand taking up for your team/players but this is an entirely another level. Just accept it: the Bengals took a chance on players with questionnable mindsets and it backfired on them. It happens.

I'm not so much defending Burfict. He deserved his suspension and if the Bengals cut him, so be it. He is a great talent but he also has a short fuse. Similar to someone we all love Boogie. My point is more so to point out the ridiculous hypocrisy of the Steelers and their fans. No team has the history of dirty play as the Steelers and yet you all want to act like they are little angels. You guys can't even admit that. To here you guys talk, the Steelers have never been dirty. I have repeatedly said that the Bengals cost themselves with bone headed plays but I also think the refs overlooked things on the other side. It is what it is but at least I'm able to admit the Bengals mistakes. Why won't you guys do the same?

You do realize that rules officials have come out and said the Shazier hit was absolutely illegal, right? Forgive us if we take the experts opinion over yours. You will say anything to justify your team. That is what fans do.
You do realize the NFL who routinely fines players for having bad breath on the field have come out and said the Shazier hit was absolutely legal, right?
