Everyone got so swept up in Patriots chokery, it’s like they forgot all about Steelers schadenfreude. Yesterday the Bengals essentially locked up the AFC North by completing a sweep of the Steelers thanks to getting one of those unglamorous tough slog victories that the Steelers are notorious for boring people with. Punte would have a celebratory rant but he’s more quiet about his homerism, which is why he’s a stand-up good egg kind of fellow, and not a raving jackass like myself. Suffice it to say, today I am a sad Steeler fag. And sideways-camera-holding fat guy who wears Oakleys on overcast days clearly did tell us Steeler fags that he would do something crazy this week if Cincy won, like burn a towel or submit a job application. I’d probably be upset if I didn’t do this myself three months ago.
Maybe we’ll be treated to a Saints-Bengals Super Bowl, so Who Deys and Who Dats can get together and finally get some long-awaited answers.

Dats 30
Deys 23
Sorry, Deys.
/braces for annoying fellow Steelers fans who will claim that this guy just cursed Cincinnati or cursed himself or cursed roads and also cursed fire and placed a low calorie curse on Miller Lite for daring to desecrate a Terrible Towel.

Don’t mock yourselves out. Save some for annoying Cowboy fans!
I thought the redneck wife in the Odell Thurman jersey was a nice touch.
The foam finger and foam giant cowboy hat combination (49 second mark) is a considered formal wear in southern Ohio.
How did you get footage of a Cincinnati city council meeting?
I would make fun of you but I’ll save it until the Cowboys can prove that this isn’t the early beginnings of a late season choke.

As a long time Dey’s fan, I have to say this Oakley-wearing choad bugs me. It’s just another game. Get through January and get to Miami. Cincy pulled this same kinda year (with a laughably easy sked) in 2005, won the division, and then the Stillers won the Wildcard playoff game and, ultimately, the Super Bowl. Burn whatever you want when you beat them in the playoffs. And get your girlfriend a jersey of an player who currently isn’t filling out apps at Gold Star Chili.
I suppose I’d be excited too if my team had only made the playoffs once since Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson.
the Bengals essentially locked up the AFC North
Whoa whoa whoa. It’s midway through the season and this is a Marvin Lewis-coached team.
Christmas Rape, your Steelers’ loss last night was scintillating.
See Ape, we all knew that it’s not that hard to burn a terrible towel.
Are you there, God?
I know it’s been a long time since last we spoke, but I come to you today by way of confession.
I have committed the sin of cheering for two teams within the same conference.
And I’m here today God in an act of total selfishness and hypocrisy to ask that you bless only one of them.
So please God. Don’t let the Bengals sign Larry Johnson. For the first time in a long time they’re not only good, but they’re good together. Perhaps Mike Brown mistakenly thinks he’s going your work, O Lord, by running a Home for Wayward Skill Players, and Lord his staff has certainly done wonders for Cedric Benson and Chris Henry. But those men had something to prove, and a desire for your Glorious Redemption to shine upon them. But Johnson just wants to be on a winning team. Give him his wish O Lord, but please not on the Bengals.
Instead visit him upon my other favored team, the Chargers. For they have behaved in violation of your commandments. I know Philip Rivers proclaims a believer in your Words and Work, but he is full of pride, wrath, envy, and sloth. Likewise, the pretender LT suffers the sins of vanity and selfishness. As for Norv Turner, no face so foul could originate other than the sacrilegious loins of some lower demon.
These are my prayers Oh Lord, may you hear them and be merciful.
Ape, would you compare this loss to the Bengals to when Willie Stargell died or when Roberto Clemente died?
/knows Ape, like all sensate creatures, doesn’t care about the Pirates.
No, it’s like when Sid Bream scored the winning run for the Braves in the 1992 NLCS. He was out, by the way!
/can’t pretend to care about baseball
No, it’s like when Sid Bream scored the winning run for the Braves in the 1992 NLCS. He was out, by the way!
Blasphemy!
Ape – are the Steelers still in the wildcard hunt? Sure would be nice if you had to go up to New England and beat the Patriots ass.
Cinci’s win yesterday vindicated this kids haircut

We’ll see who’s mocking who come late January. That’s right, no one gives enough of a damn about the Bengals to be upset either way.
//goes back to enjoying Belicheat’s return to Cleveland glory and awaiting Wade ripping Jason Garrett’s nuts off.
Steelers should be okay for a Wild Card. Ravens and Steelers will probably get the 5 and 6 seed in some order. Only other competition for those slots are the Texans, Jags and the loser of the Broncos/Chargers race. And with the rate that Denver’s falling off, they probably won’t keep pace.
Worth noting that in the aforemetioned Bengals-Steelers playoff game, the Bengals looked nigh unstoppable until Cowher gave Kimo the “Sweep the leg” signal.
I almost got into a rant on the Steelers 2005 Super Bowl run but some clever mental conditioning just turned it into an anyuerism instead. Ah, sweet bliss…
In totally unrelated news….could it get any worse for fans of the Bills?

Is it just me, or is the whole crazed shouting/burning routine reminiscent of Iranians protesting the “Great Satan”?
OCHO HU AKBAR!!!! OCHO HU AKBAR!!!!!
Anyway, I’m a Browns fan, so the hell with you all. I’m going to go fellate a shotgun.
I keep forgetting, Who’s Who Dat? And Who’s Who Dey?
Dey = Bengals
Dat = Saints

Weren’t content to just be obnoxious in the Colts-Pats post today, huh?
The Palmer injury happened on the Bengals second offensive snap in that game. Yeah, they completed a long pass play on it, but the game was still 0-0. The Steelers had already beaten the Bengals in Cincy earlier that year. That constitutes “nigh unstoppable”? Sweet Telecommuting Jeebus, Colts fans are fucking stupid.
The only time the towel curse works is when it’s done by a player.
Steelers needed a loss. There was too much national attention on them. They’ll lose one or two more, but the rest of their schedule is basically a breeze. 12-4, 11-5 will be a pretty easy wild card this year in the AFC.
Pittsburgh should still have enough to earn one of the 2 wild cards. You can’t ask me to trust the Dolphins or Jets or Texans or Jaguars and the Ravens have lost to the Steelers.
Marvin and Ocho, King Laserface, Neckbeard, Pey-Pey, Dreamboat and :choke: Bill, and Omar Epps with Rongrastname and NFR’s numbel one leceivel should all be in the playoffs.
That guy in the passed-the-knee jorts at the :42 mark is pretty much the exact image I conjure when wondering who actually buys all of the beef jerky at turnpike rest stations.
You are still the Bengals. You will still find a way to fuck it all up.
Iranians pray to Admiral Ackbar? But isn’t it a trap?
Hey! Don’t use all the schadenfreude on the Patriots and the Steelers! You have to save some for the continuing Giants collapse!
/Giants fan
Ape: “The Palmer injury happened on the Bengals second offensive snap in that game. Yeah, they completed a long pass play on it, but the game was still 0-0.”
So you’re saying that losing both Palmer and Henry on the same play in the 1st quarter of the game had nothing to do with the outcome of the game? Just because the it was 0-0 doesn’t change the fact that losing the starting QB and an important playmaker didn’t change the entire game. I’m not saying the Steelers couldn’t win, because, as you mentioned, the Steelers did beat the Bengals at home that season, but that type of denial/homerism/retardation doesn’t make any sense (to me at least).
/there’s no use talking about the past, but there are just some things that cannot be ignored
//inb4 you bring up the fact that the Steelers won the Super Bowl that year, I already know this
There was not one healthy looking person in that video.
Worth noting that in the aforemetioned Bengals-Steelers playoff game, the Bengals looked nigh unstoppable until Cowher gave Kimo the “Sweep the leg” signal.
Errr, didn’t that happen on like the first or second play of the game? Admittedly Palmer completed a 50+ yard bomb on that play, but calling a team unstoppable in its first offensive possession is fairly crazy.
/note on my last comment
I know those first 2 sentences are redundant. Wanna fight about it?
HA HA HA …. Enjoy the win but you know deep in your soul that this thing is going to come crashing down somewhere in the next 6 weeks … Once a Bungle, always a Bungle
@Cutlerfucker
You’re missing the point. No doubt the injuries had an effect on the game, but Monkey Business was making the claim that the Bengals were up big and Cowher called in a hit on Palmer out of fear/desperation, which is patently false.
well they still managed to beat the colts in the next round, who basically were unstoppable up to that point
in either case, “nigh unstoppable” is a wee overzealous
I would also gladly trade getting swept by the bengals to possibly deny bmore a wild card slot, even if it means rooting for the jets, dolphins, and afc west 1/afc west 2

As a long time Bengal fan I am enjoying the wins, and having fun watching them actually look like they know what the hell they are doing. Give all the credit to Zimmer and the defense.
and yes Palmer completed the bomb on the play he got hurt by Kimo, it was a clean hit and i have argued that with other fans since then. Didnt the Bengals only lose by 7 that game? Too lazy to google it, but my memory has me recalling that Pitt had a double reverse that went for a score and that was difference maker. Palmer got hurt, but the def for that Bengal team sucked ass
“Colts fans are fucking stupid.” Don’t forget long winded and not funny.
I’ve don’t think there’s a fanbase that wins so little and is that cocky. 0 playoff wins in 20 years and 1 AFC North championship in their history.
Steelers – 31 Bengals – 17. It was even that close as Kitna started fumbling and the Bengals basically imploded at in the second half. Forget all the hypothetical pointless crap out cheap shots and Palmer getting injured, the Bengals were an undisciplined team who couldn’t protect a 17-14 halftime lead. I’m actually more impressed with this season’s team. They play tight defense and have a patient, disciplined offense. As a Steelers fan, I’m not sure what everyone is crying about. Roethlisberger had an off day and the terrible special teams gave up a TD yet again. I’m sure the night before everyone was at Ben’s house playing Modern Warfare 2 until 5 AM.
Man Im a die hard Bengals fan but these idiots are just the worst……I refuse to associate myself with dog the bounty hunter’s wife with the Odell Thurman jersey on and come to think of it I may never say “who dey” again.
