Hey Ape, thanks to your team providing enough cover to keep the focus off my oft imploding team. At least you guys won a title last year. But it is ironic that the SB champ is having the down year; usually it is the SB loser that does.

@ Ben: Super late to this party but as someone who is currently in Asia (Korea) at the moment teaching kids English, it is the R’s to L. Koreans cannot say R’s Hines Wald is Korean so this is perfect in everyway. At least 85% of my kids anyway, the other 15% try and can get over that.
J.L. White says:
December 11th, 2009 at 3:02 am
‘Tis a cld and rainy night here in Los Angeles, as all the bandwagon fans sadly pack away their Steelers jersey for the rest of the season. Rather than bemoan the loss, they’ll move on, as they always do; some might be bold enough to buy a new Drew Brees jersey, but in these tough economic times the rest will stick with their usual rotation.
t’s a tough year for a mid-season switch. Most will probably eschew the Packers and Patriots jerseys, and go back to the Cowboys, once again. They’ll pray that the seemingly-inevitable collapse doesn’t come, and that Tony Romo doesn’t embarrass them, again.
More complicated than that – the Korean language does not have either a pure R or a pure L. It instead has “ㄹ” – a consonant that could be most simply described as rolling the tip of your tongue lightly against the top of the mouth while pronouncing an L. What results is a sort of hybrid between an R and a L.
The difficulty is that an R requires one to raise the full tongue against the roof while moving your jaw and an L keeps the tip firmly against the teeth. Neither exists in Korean, but the L is easier to learn.
If you want to teach your kids proper pronunciation, start out with “er/ir” sounds, such as “sir” – less complicated than other vowels because it’s practically the pure “r” sound itself. And emphasize that “r” requires them to move their jaw while making the sound – Korean does not have any such consonants.
The stereotype fails, however, because Chinese and many other Asian languages contain both distinct R and L sounds. While somewhat different from the English pronunciation, they do exist.

It really is surprising. That’s probably the best way to put it. The only people who are playing up to “standard” right now are really the OLBs, Kiesel, and Rashard. Sad state when your plethora of talent can’t do anything. WRs aren’t getting separation, and are dropping balls. The usually sure-handed Miller can’t catch anything to save his life, and hesitates taking on a DB in a game of chicken. Ben is late on throws and staring down targets. The O-line can’t open a hole and Colon in particular is playing like it’s 2007. DBs can’t make a tackle or actually keep coverage, and bid too hard on PA. Line is giving up too much ground. Farrior’s slower than shit, and Timmons has been playing a flop game for too long, looking for flags.
Easily the worst 3 quarters of football I have ever watched this team play.
Silver lining: Steelers will now be able to draft some massive OT from some shitty school that nobody knows about right now but we’ll all be talking about when the season ends and there is nothing to look forward to other than the combine and draft.

Yet another devastating loss for my team, certainly. Was it painful – of course it was. Did I get a conference call from Browns-fan friends after the game? You bet. But you know what? The Steelers have won two SB’s in the past four seasons and therefore I cannot complain too much or too long. The Browns (and Chiefs and Raiders) can have their wins. I will take the rings, thanks.

As a Browns fan, I actually prefer the Steelers to the Who Dey douche bags…talk about band wagon fans. Fun fact, since the Browns rejoined the league in 1999, the Browns and Bengals have won the same amount of playoff games (i.e., 0).
The loss was painful. Friends who are also Browns fans called me to gloat and it rather sucked.
There, just for you big guy.

Steelers this year just like Packers last year. High expectations after a great season (altho the Pack only got to the NFC Champ game in Brett’s last game) then lost 6 of their last 7 games last year to go 6-10.
Ravens fans shouldn’t gloat too much either. I witnessed them Monday night and the Packers shut them down almost totally. Only way they scored was two very “iffy” PI penalties in the end zone. Met a bunch of nice Ravens fans touring Lambeau Tuesday though.

I think the answer is more Dennis Dixon. Since he can line up as a QB, WR, or RB threat, we can nickname him Slash.
“30% grew up elsewhere but raised by parents from Western PA”
Also guilty. I grew up in Chicago. Imagine my surprise at my first live Steeler game when good old Jeff shanks a couple and the place goes apeshit.
I really would like the bandwagon to die. The team plays better when the entire nation thinks they can’t be a threat. They’ll still travel better than anyone else in the league even when they post a losing season. I was worried about this year. This team, this organization in the last 10 years, has a tough time showing up for the easy wins, and seems to play the best when all the odds are stacked against them.

December 11th, 2009 at 3:02 am
‘Tis a cld and rainy night here in Los Angeles, as all the bandwagon fans sadly pack away their Steelers jersey for the rest of the season. Rather than bemoan the loss, they’ll move on, as they always do; some might be bold enough to buy a new Drew Brees jersey, but in these tough economic times the rest will stick with their usual rotation.
t’s a tough year for a mid-season switch. Most will probably eschew the Packers and Patriots jerseys, and go back to the Cowboys, once again. They’ll pray that the seemingly-inevitable collapse doesn’t come, and that Tony Romo doesn’t embarrass them, again.
Oh, wait….

@bickem
More complicated than that – the Korean language does not have either a pure R or a pure L. It instead has “ㄹ” – a consonant that could be most simply described as rolling the tip of your tongue lightly against the top of the mouth while pronouncing an L. What results is a sort of hybrid between an R and a L.
The difficulty is that an R requires one to raise the full tongue against the roof while moving your jaw and an L keeps the tip firmly against the teeth. Neither exists in Korean, but the L is easier to learn.
If you want to teach your kids proper pronunciation, start out with “er/ir” sounds, such as “sir” – less complicated than other vowels because it’s practically the pure “r” sound itself. And emphasize that “r” requires them to move their jaw while making the sound – Korean does not have any such consonants.
The stereotype fails, however, because Chinese and many other Asian languages contain both distinct R and L sounds. While somewhat different from the English pronunciation, they do exist.

I ask often draw the “ㄹ” and try to explain to them that the way the pronounce that is what is condufing them because when I say what is this “ㄹ” they basicilly say “real”. But if your in Korea I say lets get together have a few Hite’s and laugh

December 11th, 2009 at 5:07 am
It really is surprising. That’s probably the best way to put it. The only people who are playing up to “standard” right now are really the OLBs, Kiesel, and Rashard. Sad state when your plethora of talent can’t do anything. WRs aren’t getting separation, and are dropping balls. The usually sure-handed Miller can’t catch anything to save his life, and hesitates taking on a DB in a game of chicken. Ben is late on throws and staring down targets. The O-line can’t open a hole and Colon in particular is playing like it’s 2007. DBs can’t make a tackle or actually keep coverage, and bid too hard on PA. Line is giving up too much ground. Farrior’s slower than shit, and Timmons has been playing a flop game for too long, looking for flags.
Easily the worst 3 quarters of football I have ever watched this team play.
December 11th, 2009 at 5:57 am

G.G….why the fuck would I pay a cent to watch anything happen in Cleveland, outside of the Lebron announcing he’s going to play for the Knicks?
/ Understands the shit storm he could potentially catch for bring up the Knicks
/ Tom Brady has infant sized genitals.

Honestly, this didn’t feel as good as I thought it would. Maybe it’s because we’re 2 and frickin’ 11 and still six Super Bowl rings behind the Steelers…

NFL Network goes with regional/division rivalries to try and drum up some interest for their games but so far it hasn’t worked.
/their Draft coverage is still better than ESPN’s.

So Ape sells out by dating a Masshole, and now both his beloved Stillers and her hometown Greatriots are in freefall. Rather poetic, if you ask me.
December 11th, 2009 at 10:46 am
I won’t say anything because there’s a chance right now that the Pats could be headed for the same fate.
On the bright side, the Steelers are still better than the Skins and your record of 6 Lombardi trophies is in absolutely no danger.

I don’t think Sportscenter actually has “highlights” from that game.

@RBP – I think Dick Lebeau’s false teeth came flying out.

The scary thing right now is that the only thing that separates the Steelers from the Bills is a competent QB. Super Bowl champs to the Bills in less than a year? House can’t even come up with an obscure disease to reference.
C’mon 289, Trent Edwards is not that competent.

I have no beef with actual Steelers fans, but this the current census of Steeler Nation.
10% currently reside in western PA
20% grew up in western PA, but now live out of state
30% grew up elsewhere but raised by parents from Western PA
40% have no geographical ties to western PA, but have jumped on the bandwagon in past few years with the two recent Super Bowl victories, and will now abandon Steelers for another team.

If PJ rushes for some dumbass line like 60 yards on 20 carries again, I am officially going to start worrying about my Purple Penetrators.

Even after a heartbreaking loss, Ape grabs his lunchpail and goes to work, scrappily defending his boys with the familiar blue collar, workaday grit that Pittsburgh has seen in its denizens and indeed its football team since the town’s very conception.
December 11th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Yet another devastating loss for my team, certainly. Was it painful – of course it was. Did I get a conference call from Browns-fan friends after the game? You bet. But you know what? The Steelers have won two SB’s in the past four seasons and therefore I cannot complain too much or too long. The Browns (and Chiefs and Raiders) can have their wins. I will take the rings, thanks.

As a Bengals fan, this pleases me. Not in a ‘fuck the steelers’ sort of way. In a ‘do you know how hard it is to beat a good team three times in one season?’ way. Now if the Ravens can miss the playoffs, the Bengals will be set.
/Still losing to the Chargers at home in the second round. Sigh.
December 11th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Asking, then answering, rhetorical questions in your comments? Still retarded.

Sending Big Ben to Jenny Craig in the off-season might be more effective than firing the offensive coordinator…
December 11th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
As a Browns fan, I actually prefer the Steelers to the Who Dey douche bags…talk about band wagon fans. Fun fact, since the Browns rejoined the league in 1999, the Browns and Bengals have won the same amount of playoff games (i.e., 0).
December 11th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Would you like a rewrite, then, someone? I can oblige just this once.
It was painful and I got a conference call from friends who are Browns fans and it sucked.
Voila. Just for you, big guy.
December 11th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Interested in a rewrite, then, someone?
The loss was painful. Friends who are also Browns fans called me to gloat and it rather sucked.
There, just for you big guy.
December 11th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
@Ape: Good point, I suppose.
December 11th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Ape – Sorry about your season but I look forward to the resulting hate keeping us warm through the rest of the year. It’s like an early Christmas present. Give ‘em Hell.

Steelers this year just like Packers last year. High expectations after a great season (altho the Pack only got to the NFC Champ game in Brett’s last game) then lost 6 of their last 7 games last year to go 6-10.
Ravens fans shouldn’t gloat too much either. I witnessed them Monday night and the Packers shut them down almost totally. Only way they scored was two very “iffy” PI penalties in the end zone. Met a bunch of nice Ravens fans touring Lambeau Tuesday though.

“Though to be honest, didn’t see them collapsing against the Raiders and Browns. Thats shocking.”
“So basically, it’s like I said, you didn’t call it. STFU.”

obit, you kinda got owned right there.

Guilty.
If missing the playoffs is the price of winning a Super Bowl every few years, oh fucking well. I will remain faithful to the Black and Gold!!

I think the answer is more Dennis Dixon. Since he can line up as a QB, WR, or RB threat, we can nickname him Slash.

“30% grew up elsewhere but raised by parents from Western PA”
Also guilty. I grew up in Chicago. Imagine my surprise at my first live Steeler game when good old Jeff shanks a couple and the place goes apeshit.
I really would like the bandwagon to die. The team plays better when the entire nation thinks they can’t be a threat. They’ll still travel better than anyone else in the league even when they post a losing season. I was worried about this year. This team, this organization in the last 10 years, has a tough time showing up for the easy wins, and seems to play the best when all the odds are stacked against them.

Steeler fans should be a little worried that Matt Millen likes their personnel!

i dont know about obit but i called this, been calling it wrong for six fucking years, but i called it. time to revel in the win cause it may be awhile till the next. at least the browns end all hope by week 3 not week 13
