Respect
I've been listening to playoff coverage all week. What do you think we would be hearing if the New England Patriots were playing this weekend instead of the Jets?? We'd be hearing all non stop about the Patriots Dynasty, even though they haven't won a superbowl since 2005. I believe the Steelers deserve some respect here. How are they any different than the Patriots. They have more of a storied past than the Patriots do. They have stable and dedicated ownerships. They both have good stable quarterbacks. Both are easily top 5 in the league. They are in the playoffs consistently, year after year. The Steelers are playing for their 3rd appearance in 6 years. The Patriots haven't won a Superbowl in that time. They have been good, yes. Their undefeated regular season was in there, but that ended with a loss to the Giants in one of the best superbowl's of all time. The accomplishments of these two teams are very similar. I'm not trying to take anything away from the Patriots. While i do not like them, their accomplishments are quite impressive. I am just trying to get a little deserved respect for the Steelers. It is no easy task to win in the NFL. For a team to do it consistantly, year in and year out is quite impressive and respect should be paid. So let's give the Steelers credit where credit is due. When they win on Sunday and get into their 3rd superbowl in 6 years let's give them a little respect.

I dont know what you have been listening to but that is all I have heard about. They don't need any help trying to get respect. What they need is a quarterback that is not a rapist and gets more espn time then Chris Berman!
ReplyDeleteI believe the Eagles quarterback is a dog killer. I'm sure if you look hard enough you can even find dirt on Tom Brady. Look at his performance on the field. Look at Brett Favre. Despite the last few years, he will still go down in history as one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Including the Hall of Fame. I'm not condoning what he, Vick, or Favre did, but buttom line is their performance on the field.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have dead dogs than raped women. Vick served his time. Did Rapesberger? No! find me some dirt on Brady before you point fingers.
